Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

What treasure do you want to exchange for?

Qin Mu has many options he wants to switch to.

Aside from the remnants of the primordial lifeblood of the 'Heart Demon Ape' in the hands of God King Zongfu, and the Void Severing Array, a secret treasure of the spatial origin of the second level of God King realm from God King Yufu, other God Kings possessed some suitable treasures to varying degrees.

But what he had was clearly not enough for him to exchange for so many treasures.

Qin Mu obtained a total of five divine-king level secret treasures from the three who were directly killed: the King of Yun Kingdom, the Ancestor of the Snow Realm, and the Azure Lotus God King.

These are the Cloud Kingdom's spatial domain treasure "Cloud and Mist World," a battle blade attack treasure, a claw-type attack treasure in the hands of the Snow Realm Ancestor, and the Azure Lotus and Azure Jade Glazed Soul Attack Treasures of the Azure Lotus God King.

Qin Mu had his eye on the spatial treasure "Cloud and Mist World" among these five treasures, intending to use it as a fog in his insect swarm war.

With this treasure, the insect swarm's ability to bind and seal off will be greatly enhanced.

As for the other items, he didn't think much of them and was willing to trade them.

Secondly, they each carried a considerable amount of treasure.

The richest among them is undoubtedly the Azure Lotus God King. As a god king skilled in alchemy, the estimated value of his various precious treasures is around 6000 million merit points.

The poorest was the Snow World Ancestor.

This guy has almost nothing good; his entire fortune adds up to only around ten million merit points.

The most valuable thing on the Snow Realm Ancestor was not anything else.

It was his corpse!

The corpse of the "Camel Mountain Beast" that has merged with the Hunyuan bloodline!

This one corpse alone is worth seventy to eighty million merit points.

Considering that the Snow Realm Ancestor also entered the 'Infinite World', if we really want to calculate it, he might actually be the richest one.

It's not surprising that they have accumulated such wealth with the backing of a certain emperor.

Qin Mu also had a pleasant surprise among the treasures of the King of Yun.

He discovered a soul treasure called the Nine-Colored Lotus, but unfortunately, six of the nine petals had already been used.

After trying one segment and finding it had almost no effect on him, he planned to save the remaining two segments for the Queen and also sell them.

The swarm's soul network was too vast; even the Nine-Colored Lotus, which could significantly enhance even a God-King level expert, was merely a drop in the ocean.

However, for the Empress, who is still at the level of an Eternal True God, it is absolutely a sacred item for the soul, capable of greatly strengthening her soul.

"Take a look, is there anything you're looking for here?"

One after another, illusory figures appeared in Qin Mu's hand, and some of the more valuable spoils of war were taken out.

"Tsk tsk, this must be the soul attack treasure of that Azure Lotus God King, right?"

Soul attack type treasures are very rare.

Although it's only at the first level of the God King realm, it's comparable to a typical second-level God King treasure.

How about we trade this for the 'Void Severing Boundary Array'?

After sensing the power fluctuations within the azure jade glass, King Yufu spoke.

"Of course, that would be a win for me." Qin Mu's eyes lit up. With the 'Void Boundary Severing Array' diagram from King Yu Fu, plus the 'Mist World' that the insect swarm had just acquired.

The Space Swarm Legion might just become the strongest Swarm Legion in the world.

"Then let's change it!"

Yu Fu, the God King, laughed. He walked the path of life and the origin of matter, and was most skilled in direct combat, but his methods in the realm of the soul were somewhat weak, which was a gain for him.

Immediately, King Yufu and Qin Mu completed the transaction.

After putting away the array diagram, Qin Mu returned it to the insectoid space legion with satisfaction, so that he could master it as soon as possible.

"What about the treasures of the Xuanhuo God King? I see that he still has a causal treasure in his hand. If it's a good item, I can exchange it for the remains of the 'Heart Demon Ape'."

"His divine palace treasures are quite impressive, and very valuable." King Zongfu glanced at the several divine weapons and shook his head.

With his abilities, he clearly wouldn't care about these things.

"That Xuanhuo God King is hiding inside the treasure of the God King Palace. Although I have suppressed him, I cannot kill him for the time being," Qin Mu said with some regret.

"I knew it. If you're willing, I can kill him for you, and then we can make the deal." King Zongfu looked at Qin Mu with a smile.

He clearly had already guessed it, which is why he asked that question on purpose.

No fewer than ten God-Kings of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom have fallen at his hands. How could a mere God-King Palace treasure possibly stop him?

Under the influence of the secret treasure "Causal Wind," which surpasses the ultimate realm of God-King, even a first-level God-King like the Profound Fire God-King would die instantly, without even the chance of reincarnation.

"Brother Zongfu, please wait a moment! I'll try to communicate with him one more time. If he remains obstinate, then please take action, Brother Zongfu." Without much hesitation, Qin Mu agreed immediately.

He was determined to obtain the parasitic remnant of the Chaos Origin Bloodline from the Heart Demon Ape.

Before long, he will travel to the unknown Origin World to fight against the naturally occurring chaotic life form, the "Abyssal Alien".

The more he understands the parasitic, primordial life forms, the greater his chances of victory.

As for the Xuanhuo God King, he didn't care much.

As fellow weapon-refining gods, he is no different from the Mountain-Sitting Guest, and it is not worth the effort to subdue him.

If it weren't for the intervention of the God-King Zongfu, he would have killed the Zerg network once it completed its reconstruction using the "Reunion of All Spirits" secret technique and its souls and mental wills underwent a metamorphosis.

Immediately, his consciousness entered the body of the Kunpeng that remained in Crimson Gold City.

"Mysterious Fire God King, I will ask you one last time, will you submit to me?"

If you submit, I may spare your life!

Otherwise, then perish.

Qin Mu's voice was indifferent, entering a suppressive space within Kunpeng's body.

The Xuanhuo God King, hiding inside the palace's treasure, looked grim. (City subjugation?)

How could a powerful god-king like him possibly be willing to submit to someone else?

He refused to join either of the two ancient kingdoms, preferring to live a carefree life on his own.

Even if he were to perish and be reborn, he would not submit.

For a weapon-refining god-king, accumulating treasures is relatively fast; even after spending billions of epochs, he can still accumulate some wealth again.

But how could he be willing to be reincarnated directly?

The divine treasures he possesses, especially the Xuanhuo Divine Palace, were created at great cost throughout countless eras and have reached the level of a second-tier divine treasure.

Just like the Jinwang Palace of the Mountain Refiner, almost all the weapon-refining gods would do their best to create such a treasure.

With the help of the Xuanhuo Divine Palace, he entered many treasure lands and reaped considerable rewards.

At this moment, all his wealth and possessions are inside the Xuanhuo Divine Palace.

"Sect Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, you can't kill me!"

What good is it for you to suppress me for endless years?

I'm willing to pay any price; I can give you everything except the palace treasures.

I'll give you everything, including the Star-Burning Pearl and the Scythe of Cause and Effect!

I can promise that if you let me go, I will never be your enemy, and I will even forge a divine treasure for you free of charge.

The Xuanhuo God King was still trying to find a way to struggle.

"Then you shall perish."

……

"Brother Zongfu, I'll trouble you to do it." Qin Mu shook his head.

With a ripple in the void, a Kunpeng, the size of a swimming fish, appeared beside him.

All the god-kings looked at Kunpeng with curiosity. They had all witnessed the endless swarm of insects surging out of Kunpeng's body, which even the Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord could not do anything about.

"This giant Kun is so strange. It gives me the aura of a living creature, but it also seems to be a treasure that has been refined, and it is actually emitting the aura of multiple primordial laws at the same time."

The Eastern Sun God King, who was also skilled in weapon crafting, stared at Kunpeng in shock.

"This giant Kun, which I call 'Kunpeng,' is indeed a very special palace treasure that I crafted—a living palace treasure!"

Qin Mu smiled slightly.

"Brother Qin Mu, you actually know how to forge weapons?" The Eastern Peak God King was greatly surprised.

The other God-King level experts were equally shocked. Qin Mu's methods were already quite diverse, yet he also knew how to refine weapons.

"I know a little bit."

"Incredible!"

"That's incredible."

Even a powerful expert like Zongfu, who was at the peak of the second level of the God King realm, looked at Qin Mu with astonishment, wondering which God King he was reincarnated from.

Not only does he understand multiple different laws, but he can also refine divine king treasures!

Refining weapons is extremely difficult.

Even a god-king level expert would need to spend countless years to forge one.

"Brother Zongfu, I have released the Xuanhuo God King. Please kill him!"

Qin Mu simply smiled; he was more than just skilled at weapon crafting.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are experts.

However, his development direction is different from that of a normal weapon-refining god-king. He mainly studies how to make the swarm legion better exert its combat power and arm the top units in the swarm.

The battle axe in the hands of the Destruction Demon Ape was a special divine weapon that he had personally crafted.

The most suitable living weapon for insect swarms!

"Alright! Release him. In my Mother River World, he has no chance of escaping."

Zongfu God King smiled confidently, and the dozen or so other God Kings around him, including Yufu God King and Dongyang God King, also smiled.

This is the stronghold of the Mother River of Life's forces. Let alone a mere first-level God King, even a peak second-level God King would have a hard time getting out.

Qin Mu stopped wasting words, and the Kunpeng slowly opened its mouth, from which a crystal-clear palace treasure flew out.

The instant it flew out of the palace.

An invisible wind of cause and effect flew out from the body of the God King Zongfu, blowing past the palace's treasures. The Xuanhuo Temple's powerful defenses were completely ineffective against this wind of cause and effect.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Mu realized that the palace treasure had lost its life force and its master.

Reaching out, Qin Mu took the Xuanhuo Divine Palace into his hand, then probed into it with his consciousness, plundering the corpse of the Xuanhuo Divine King. A look of joy appeared on his face.

This Xuanhuo God King is even wealthier than I imagined.

"Brother Zongfu, take a look and see what you want to exchange it for?"

Without putting the treasures away, Qin Mu waved his hand and displayed all 108 Burning Star Pearls, the Scythe of Cause and Effect, the Xuanhuo Divine Palace, and various precious materials contained within them.

"Huh? This treasure of cause and effect is quite extraordinary, yet it's wasted in his hands."

This palace's treasure has reached the second level of the God-King realm; it would be of considerable use to me.

King Zongfu glanced at the Scythe of Cause and Effect, a look of surprise on his face. Then he looked at the Xuanhuo Temple and nodded in satisfaction.

"Besides the remains of this Demonic Ape, I will give you another array diagram, a first-level God King array diagram containing the power of the Great Dao of Life and Death."

How about I exchange them for these two treasures?

As he spoke, a diagram resembling a yin-yang symbol appeared in his hand, constantly shifting.

"A formation diagram containing the Dao of Life and Death?"

Qin Mu probed into it with his consciousness and sensed it briefly. He then discovered an extremely powerful aura of life and death within. If it were to be fully unleashed, its power would surely be astonishing.

"It's changed!"

The two immediately completed the transaction.

Seeing that the God Kings Zongfu, Yufu, and Qin Mu had completed their transactions and were no longer being transformed, the other God Kings began to collect other treasures in large quantities, clearly indicating that they also had some ideas.

"I'm willing to exchange these 108 Star-Burning Pearls for an equivalent God-King treasure!" The Eastern Sun God-King was tempted by the 108 Star-Burning Pearls.

These 108 Star-Burning Pearls are not only treasures for attacking enemies, but also treasures for refining weapons, so the Eastern Sun God King was naturally delighted to have them.

"Haha, I quite like this treasure as well. I possess a portion of the 'Poison Shadow Lion' bloodline, a primordial bloodline life form. I wonder if we could exchange it?"

Another god-king, whose entire body was engulfed in flames, also set his sights on the Burning Star Pearl.

"The 'Poison Shadow Lion'?" Information about the 'Poison Shadow Lion' flashed through Qin Mu's mind.

This is a kind of primordial bloodline life form that is adept at using highly poisonous substances. Once infected, it is extremely difficult to remove and will continuously erode the divine body. If not handled properly, even a powerful expert at the second level of the God King realm will perish.

"What I want to exchange is mainly the Hunyuan life bloodline, preferably a parasitic one."

If there is a powerful array diagram, that's also acceptable.

As for the others, I also want the 'Infinite Space' token.

If any of you have any, you are welcome to trade with me.

Qin Mu did not agree directly, but instead cupped his hands to all the God-King level experts.

"The Infinite Space Token, haven't you already gone in?" Zongfu, the God-King of the Xuanhuo Temple, looked up and asked with some curiosity as he played with the Scythe of Cause and Effect.

"It's not for me, but for a friend of mine. He'll soon break through to the God-King Realm and can go to the Infinite Space to try his luck and see if he can obtain a suitable inheritance."

Qin Mu explained.

"Will you break through to God King soon?"

Zongfu God King was taken aback. How could someone who had broken through to the God King level know the time?

However, he quickly realized that this was most likely another reincarnated God-King!

The other powerful god-kings also realized this, and their expressions toward Qin Mu became quite strange.

Even after the reincarnation of the God-King, they can still gather together?

"I have another one! You can take it if you want, it'll cost 5000 million contribution points."

Would your friend be interested in joining our Mother River of Life?

If we join together, we can look out for each other.

Yu Fu God King said that every time an Infinite Space Token is used, it will automatically appear somewhere on the Origin Continent.

Forces like the Mother River of Life are distributed in many places on the Origin Continent, and some have been collected over countless years, while the Infinite Space is the least valuable of all treasure lands.

He naturally wouldn't mind giving Qin Mu face.

"Thank you! I'll ask him and see for myself."

Qin Mu was delighted. The Mountain Guest was even stronger, which would put his mind at ease when Qin Mu went to other source worlds to carry out missions.

At this stage, training Zuo Shan Ke is much more cost-effective than training Luo Feng.

"Let's exchange this Star-Burning Pearl for the 'Poison Shadow Lion'."

……

Before long, all the treasures had been exchanged.

"Brother Zongfu, you were planning to explore the depths of the Dream Realm, did you know you could take me with you?" (End of Chapter)
