Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

"Huh? What is this?" The Shadow Heaven Palace Master, who was constantly watching the battlefield, looked in astonishment at the suddenly appearing giant Void God Elephant, Void Weaving Shadow, Life Heavenly Dragon, and the billions of insect swarms that followed them.

When the Destruction Demon Ape was bound, and the Blade Demon Ancestor, the Profound Fire God King, and the Azure Lotus God King all attacked, even he thought Qin Mu might perish.

However, the appearance of top-tier units such as the Giant Void Elephant and the endless swarm of insects instantly reversed the battlefield situation.

Swarms of insects filled the heavens and earth, surrounding the five powerful beings at the first level of the Divine King realm.

"Interesting. What's the deal with these strange beasts? Puppets? Beast taming?"

A strange power spread from the Shadow Heaven Palace Master's body, causing the entire pavilion to distort.

"No, no! These strange beasts, and even the soul aura emanating from the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, are exactly the same. Is this an avatar?"

"How is this possible?"

The Shadow Heaven Palace Master was shocked.

If these are all Qin Mu's clones, wouldn't that mean that Qin Mu has simultaneously mastered the five fundamental laws of soul, destruction, space, life, and matter?

Although they haven't reached the God-King realm yet, this is already quite astonishing.

Moreover, each of these clones is exceptionally powerful, powerful enough to use their physical bodies to dispel the supreme laws, form a universe, and directly confront the God King!

How could this not surprise him?

……

"What's going on? Although Qin Mu is a reincarnated person with the foundation of his previous life, he also masters five primordial laws. Isn't that too strange?"

Not just five!

I remember he had previously used the law of cause and effect to kill more than a dozen Chaos Rulers.

Could it be that he controls these strange beasts through a secret soul technique, driving them with his bloodline power? But where did these beasts come from? I've never even seen them before.

Even the God-King Zongfu was completely bewildered in the world of the Mother River of Life.

The fundamental laws are not something you can comprehend as much as possible.

If one cannot fully comprehend and master a certain branch of the teachings to break through to the level of a God-King, it will not be of much significance.

It's better to focus on cultivating one or two fundamental laws rather than cultivating multiple fundamental laws simultaneously, as this will make you stronger.

Any kind of enlightenment about the fundamental Dao is extremely difficult, especially in the later stages.

Furthermore, comprehending the fundamental Dao requires extremely high levels of personal talent.

Most powerful god-kings follow one particular path, while a small number cultivate both.

For example, he followed the path of cause and effect, the fundamental path of life, and merged these two fundamental paths into a new path, making his vitality extremely tenacious. Even the Ancestor of Flame Wind could not kill him.

With his own strength, he intimidated the entire Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

"The Dao of the Soul's Origin is unpredictable and mysterious. I also think that he used some strange secret method to control these strange beasts with his own soul."

What I'm more curious about is how he managed to refine his divine body to such a powerful state.

That slash from the Blade Demon Ancestor was not easy to block. An ordinary first-level God King would likely be severely injured or even die instantly if ambushed from the shadows.

But that colossal elephant-like beast withstood the attack head-on.

Yu Fu, the God-King, had a solemn expression. He was also a powerful overlord who walked the path of the origin of matter and was at the second level of the God-King realm. He was most skilled in head-on combat.

This scene shocked him.

"No wonder he was confident enough to fight against five God-Kings as the Chaos Ruler. It wasn't just those few top-tier beasts that were powerful; the billions of beasts were also extremely powerful."

Look, those strange beasts are all at the Chaos Realm!

Where did he get those strange beasts from?

The soul aura emanating from those strange beasts was exactly the same.

……

"Strange! How did he manage to control so many powerful alien beasts? The larger the life form, the greater the burden on the soul and will."

"A mere Chaos Realm cultivator can barely control one clone, let alone four top-tier avatars and that beast tide composed of billions of strange beasts."

Even an emperor in the ancient kingdom of Yanfeng was puzzled.

"Hmph, it's most likely the reincarnation of some old codger, otherwise there's no way he could have done this. Haha, as expected, how could someone at the third level of the God King realm have just broken through?"

……

"Want to seize control of this space? When have you ever thought you've controlled this space?"

A cold voice came from the Void Weaver that hovered in the sky.

Controlling the void?

When they stepped into the insect domain, it was destined that they could not do this, because the insect domain is essentially the body of the insect swarm!

This is not some kind of world power or spatial domain.

It's a real body!

In addition, the Gate of Origin secretly influences the space treasures that surpass the level of God-Kings.

Although he did not burn his divine body to fully unleash the power of the insect domain, when the void weaving within the insect domain gathered the power of the spatial insect swarm legion, it was definitely not something a first-level God King could contend with.

Even if he possesses a domain treasure at the first level of the God King realm, it won't work!

"It's such a waste to give you such a treasure as the Cloud World! I will make it play its true role."

Amidst the chilling voice, the Cloud Kingdom's ruler, who was frantically burning his divine power in an attempt to cover the entire space with his cloud and mist world domain, felt everything before him vanish.

He lost all physical sensation and only saw a vast, enormous black and white millstone rolling down on him.

These black and white mental millstones rotate counterclockwise, one forward and one backward.

He could see every step of the process clearly, but he had no way to dodge it.

It appears slow, but in reality it's so fast it's just a fleeting moment in the mind.

In a split second, there's no escaping it; you can only endure it!

"ah--"

The King of Yun let out a piercing scream, as if his entire mind and will were about to be crushed by this mental millstone.

"Impossible! A third-level God-King realm spiritual will—who exactly are you?"

Amidst the cries of agony, endless clouds and mist rapidly condensed into a towering, blood-clad figure as tall as heaven and earth, its surface adorned with countless silver patterns, condensing its power to its utmost.

To resist that sudden attack on the mind and will.

As a veteran first-level God King, his mental will has reached the second level of God King through years of training.

Otherwise, this attack would have been enough to mentally destroy him.

Even so, it still severely damaged him. He was even horrified to discover that under the turning of this mental millstone, his memories, emotions, and even his understanding of the laws were fading!

Consequently, they were unable to exert their full strength and were even less able to compete with the Void Shadow for control of the space.

"What? The mental will of a third-level God-King? The Snow Realm Ancestor! Didn't you say he only had the mental will of a second-level God-King?"

The Xuanhuo God King, who had withstood the attack of the giant Ruins God Elephant by relying on the palace's treasures, was immediately alarmed.

The series of unexpected events made him realize that something was wrong.

"How would I know what happened? In the infinite space, he only possessed the mental will of a second-level God-King; he was concealing his true strength!"

The Snow Realm Ancestor roared through gritted teeth, trying to escape in secret, only to find the entire space completely frozen. He himself was trapped in an endless swarm of insects.

While the swarm of insects, composed of the four major insectoid legions of destruction, life, matter, and space, cannot be perfectly integrated, they can still achieve a simple superposition.

It's like four different domain treasures, bringing their power together in the simplest and most direct way.

The relentless onslaught of swarming insects made it impossible for the Snow Realm Ancestor to escape.

The fundamental principles of life, unless one reaches the ultimate realm, are not adept at attacking; they are only extremely good at preserving their lives.

"Who exactly are you? Which powerful being have you reincarnated? We surrender! We're leaving now!"

The Sword Demon Ancestor's expression was gloomy. He had been severely injured by the Destruction Demon Ape, and his sea of ​​consciousness was filled with chaotic fragments of memories.

Unlike the Azure Lotus God King and the Snow Realm Ancestor, he followed the pure path of destruction and had no clones.

Even if the others perish here, they will only lose one clone.

He fell, and he truly fell.

Although one can save their life through reincarnation, all the accumulations of this life will be lost.

"Hahaha, do you think you can just come and go as you please here?"

Qin Mu sneered at the Sword Demon Ancestor and slammed his battle axe down.

"Hmph, then let's fight to the death! Annihilation Wind!"

The Blade Demon Ancestor roared in a low voice, but his figure dodged the attack at lightning speed and flew towards the Xuanhuo God King. He had no intention of fighting to the death.

In an instant, the long sword in his hand unleashed eight thousand slashes of light, which transformed into a pitch-black whirlwind that swept in all directions.

He had already realized that the reason why the Destruction Demon Ape was so powerful was largely due to the billions of Destruction Insect swarms.

Zizi!

The Annihilation Wind tore apart millions of insect swarms, reducing them to the most basic material structures.

"Mysterious Fire God King, let's go! This Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Master is well-prepared, and may even be the reincarnation of a powerful expert at the second level of the God King realm. He must have many trump cards."

If we stay here any longer, we might really be doomed.

Taking advantage of the surrounding insect swarm's dissipation, the Blade Demon Ancestor quickly transmitted his voice.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Xuanhuo God King also spoke decisively.

He walks the path of matter and the origin of fire, and like that, he has no clones.

The Azure Lotus God King, the Snow Realm Ancestor, and the Cloud Kingdom Ruler—one followed the Great Dao of Life Origin, and the other followed the Great Dao of Space Origin. Both were masters of preserving their lives and possessed clones.

If I die, I die; at most, I'll just lose some treasures.

The two of them instantly huddled together, trying to break out of the insect swarm.

hum!

The Burning Heaven Array, composed of 108 Burning Star Pearls, flew back rapidly under the control of the Profound Fire God King, transforming into a giant fireball that rampaged through the insect swarm, with the crystal-clear God King Palace treasures following closely behind.

The Blade Demon Ancestor clung tightly to a corner of the palace's treasure, wanting to rush out together.

Of course, he dared not enter the palace's treasure chamber, for that would mean his life and death would be entirely in the hands of the Xuanhuo God King.

"Trying to leave?"

Qin Mu sneered, and the two top-tier units, the Destruction Demon Ape and the Giant Void Elephant, vanished instantly.

The colossal body of the Giant Ruins Elephant appeared directly in front of the giant fireball, lowered its head, and charged forward with all four hooves.

The Destruction Demon Ape appeared above the palace and slashed down fiercely, forcing the Blade Demon Ancestor to take the blow head-on.

Within the insect realm lies the insect swarm's home turf.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The giant fireball suddenly shattered, turning into 108 Burning Star Pearls that scattered.

The giant monstrous elephant was also in bad shape; its four tusks were trembling, and its body surface was covered in black, even turning into liquid and flowing down.

The continuous attacks caused the Xuanhuo God King's palace treasures to plummet, drastically reducing their speed.

"Stay!"

Qin Mu sneered as he watched the Xuanhuo God King and the Blade Demon Ancestor try to escape. He was already under the combined power of four layers of insect hives when a time fluctuation suddenly appeared.

The Time-Origin Zerg Swarm Legion!

During this time fluctuation, the already slowed palace treasures became even slower.

Time stands still!

"Another army of alien beasts?"

The Sword Demon Ancestor, who had been relentlessly wielding his sword and forcing back the surrounding swarm of insects, grew increasingly grim. Under the influence of the fundamental laws of time, his power was further diminished.

"Find a way to leave!"

On the other side, the Snow Realm Ancestor transformed into a blood-red river, while the Azure Lotus God King put away his soul treasure and took out a battle halberd, transforming into a giant standing on the earth. Together with the Cloud Kingdom King, they charged left and right within the insect horde, employing various methods, and also secretly transmitted their voices to each other.

They killed wave after wave of attacking insect swarms, but they were firmly controlled and could not even gather together.

They have already fallen into a state of fighting their own battles.

The insect swarm's endless tricks left them uncertain. Although they had clones, they had all brought valuable treasures with them in order to kill Qin Mu.

Even if the clone doesn't die, the treasure will definitely be lost.

This is something they absolutely do not want to see.

Not to mention, Qin Mu is also proficient in the Great Dao of the Soul's Origin, so he might perish completely if he's not careful.

"None of you will escape!"

The mighty sound echoed within the swarm of insects.

Within the insect realm, the combined power of the five major insect tides sealed off space, reversed time, and caused matter to become extremely condensed, making movement difficult.

The devastating swarm attack forced them to be extremely cautious.

However, their counterattacks rarely cause significant damage to the swarm. Even if some are killed or wounded, the living swarm quickly recovers.

"Sect Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, I'm willing to pay the price! Let us leave, or we'll both perish, and you won't come out unscathed!"

Hiding within the palace's treasures, the Xuanhuo God King spoke.

There were too many insect swarms in the void, at least hundreds of billions of them, each with the strength of a Chaos Realm cultivator. Even the weakest Chaos Realm cultivators were still terrifying.

Even a second-level God King in the Great Dao of Life would probably be unable to create so many Chaos Realm clones.

Moreover, the increasing number of insect swarms terrified him.

He wouldn't mind paying a price to leave.

The other party is the reincarnation of a powerful god-king, so there's nothing shameful about doing this.

"A fight to the death? I'd like to see how you intend to go all out!"

Qin Mu chuckled softly.

The Zerg swarm only deployed five legions, yet they were trapped. They couldn't defeat them in battle, and they couldn't escape either.

In the shadows, even larger swarms of Zerg lurk.

For example, the Azure Lotus God King was completely unaware that dozens of insect hive tyrants wielding soul blades were watching him menacingly under the cover of the insect swarm.

The soul-slaying of dozens of insect hive tyrants was something even a first-level God King couldn't withstand.

The same applies to the ruler of the Cloud Kingdom, the progenitor of the Snow Realm, and the Old Ancestor of the Blade Demon.

Of the five god-kings, the only one he wasn't confident he could kill instantly was the Xuanhuo God-King, who was hiding inside the palace's treasure.

"Or, why don't you try calling for help? See if anyone will come to your rescue?" (End of Chapter)
