Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

"The entrance to the Dream Realm is just ahead, be careful." King Zongfu looked ahead, and the three of them were concealed in the void under his power.

Ahead lay a dark canyon, so dark that even light could not penetrate it, swallowing all senses; even a god-king could not see into it.

"The entrance to the Dream Realm is very peculiar, and its location is not stable. The two ancient kingdoms dispatched god-king level experts to set up a moving array to cover the entire entrance."

This area is the defense of the God-King of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

I tried to infiltrate them using the method of causal escape; if I'm lucky, they won't find me.

If we find it, Yufu and I will handle it.

The God-King Zongfu spoke in a chilling voice.

Yu Fu also revealed a ferocious smile.

If they don't find it, fine. But if they do find it, then kill another God-King!

How could an ordinary god-king possibly withstand their combined attack?

Even with the support of a formation, it's difficult!

The God King Zongfu is a powerful being who possesses a secret treasure that surpasses the ultimate level of a God King. Even when the Ancestor Yanfeng personally took action, he was unable to kill him.

call!

Qin Mu and his three companions immediately transformed into a wind of cause and effect, blowing into the dark valley.

"Buzz!"

The moment he flew into the valley, Qin Mu felt an invisible force pulling at his mind and will, but with Qin Mu's mental strength, he could easily resist it.

A dark world came into view, the whole world was floating and distorting, like a dream.

"This is the entrance to the dream world. The entire area is shrouded by the formations of the two ancient kingdoms. Although their struggle seems fierce, the leaders of the two ancient kingdoms are actually one entity."

It is said that the founders of these two ancient kingdoms were close friends who shared a life-and-death bond.

While carefully concealing himself, King Zongfu advanced stealthily at a relatively slow pace.

Qin Mu simply looked at him without saying a word.

The God-King Zongfu had told them about the ancestors of the two ancient kingdoms. At the beginning, the God-King Zongfu had considered using the power of the Thunder Kingdom to fight against the Flame Wind Kingdom.

After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

However, when he conveyed this message to the Thunder Kingdom, he ultimately fell into the trap set by both ancient kingdoms.

If he hadn't been careful enough, he might have been in trouble.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Qin Mu saw a phantom figure sitting cross-legged in the distance. The figure possessed a vast aura and a huge array node.

Once an attack is made, it will attract the encirclement and killing of the entire formation.

"That is the God King of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom. He is only at the first level of the God King realm, but even a second-level God King would have a hard time defeating him within the formation."

And once they make their move, other god-kings will be teleported in.

A hint of coldness flickered in the eyes of the God-King Zongfu.

"Let's go. Our goal is the treasures deep within the Dream Realm. There's no need to waste time here." Yu Fu glanced at the God King. Unless absolutely necessary, they didn't want to make a move.

After all, if a real battle were to break out, attracting the attention of the two ancient kingdoms' god-kings, or even emperors, it would be difficult for them to enter the Dream Realm.

"The two ancient kingdoms are behaving too disgracefully. If it weren't for the suppression by the two progenitors, hmph!" King Dongyang also snorted coldly.

Although the emperors of the two ancient kingdoms were powerful, other forces were not without ways to contend with them.

Which of the rulers of Tianmu Kingdom, Wanjie Kingdom, Dongji Domain, and Yingtian Realm would fear the emperors of the two ancient kingdoms?

But the two progenitors were different; it was a higher level of crushing.

If they weren't limited to the ultimate level of God-King in the Origin, they could easily crush any who dared to resist.

"They can blockade now, but who knows what will happen in the future."

Qin Mu also secretly transmitted his voice.

These two ancient kingdoms indeed aroused public outrage, leading to the sealing off of the precious lands left by the Yuan dynasty, allowing only the royal families of the two ancient kingdoms to enter.

If it weren't for the help of the God-King Zongfu, the current insect swarm wouldn't have been able to get in.

The insect population is large, but its level is ultimately too low.

Within the insect domain, things were alright, but once outside the insect domain, the battle of attrition with the opponent's formation was too intense to do anything about it.

Of course, that's now.

Once they break through to the God King realm, these so-called formations and blockades can be directly crushed by the insect swarm.

Under the influence of the God King Zongfu's causal escape technique, the group continued to advance, encountering several ancient royal god kings in succession, yet none of them noticed them.

"Alright, we've already flown out of their formation's blockade range."

Half a day later, the God-King Zongfu revealed a relaxed smile.

"Amazing!" Qin Mu exclaimed.

He had been studying the God King Zongfu's Escape Technique, and its profound mysteries amazed him. It was far more powerful than any escape technique in the insect swarm; it was on a completely different level.

This escape technique seemed to have penetrated into the fundamental Dao of cause and effect, and entered the operation of the supreme rules.

"That's for sure. Brother Zongfu's Causal Escape Technique is a secret technique of the ultimate God King realm. There are very few people on the entire Origin Continent who can keep up with Brother Zongfu," said God King Dongyang with a smile.

"Hey, if I hadn't run fast enough, I would have died at the hands of those god-kings and emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom long ago."

King Zongfu gave a self-deprecating laugh.

It is extremely difficult to comprehend the ultimate realm secret technique at the second level of the God King realm, but for the God King Zongfu, it was not a difficult task.

"Let's go! We'll soon be entering the middle level of the Dream Realm, which is our main area of ​​exploration. After that, it will depend on your abilities, Qin Mu."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Qin Mu smiled confidently. In terms of combat power, the insect swarm might be a little lacking, but in terms of reconnaissance, they were absolutely unmatched!

The sheer number is just one aspect.

In order to travel to another source world and fight against the abyssal aliens, he spent a lot of effort and specially researched a set of reconnaissance techniques!

Yes, not just one technique, but a whole set of secret techniques called the Eye of Insight.

After all, the Abyssal Alien is a parasitic unit, and its greatest strength lies in concealment.

If you can't even find your opponent, then no matter how strong your fighting power is, it's useless.

hum.

The God King Zongfu used his escape technique, and because there were no formations from the two ancient kingdoms, his travel speed increased rapidly.

Using the Causal Escape Technique, they rapidly traversed individual spaces that resembled bubbles.

Looking at those individual spaces, Qin Mu didn't rush to release the swarm of insects.

This is still the outer edge of the Dream Realm, where you're likely to encounter the two ancient kingdoms' god-kings, and there aren't many good treasures to be found.

The more powerful the treasure, the deeper it lies within the dream realm.

"We're almost there. Once we reach the middle level, we'll need the mental will of a second-level God-King to stay conscious. If we go into the deeper level, we'll need at least the mental will of an ultimate God-King."

"We will primarily explore the middle layer," said the God-King Zongfu.

Qin Mu nodded.

Needless to say, both Zongfu God King and Yufu God King possess the ultimate mental will of a God King.

The Eastern Sun God King was a little weaker, possessing only the mental will of the peak of the second level of the God King realm.

However, during their long years of cultivation, neither Zongfu God King nor Yufu God King were able to take the final step. In order to improve their combat power, they both cultivated the Hunyuan Bloodline.

Within the dream realm, they also need to allocate a portion of their mental will to resist the erosion of the Hunyuan bloodline, and generally they do not venture too deep into the dream realm.

"We've arrived!" During their casual conversation, the God-King Zongfu led everyone into a space.

This world is extremely vast; even with the eyesight of a god-king, one cannot see its end at a glance, only the continuous mountain ranges.

The mountains are lush and green, covered with various kinds of vegetation.

From afar, the sounds of roaring could still be heard intermittently.

"Just as the intelligence reports, the deeper one goes into the dream realm, the darker the world becomes, until one reaches the core area, which is a completely dark world."

Only those with a mind and will surpassing that of a god-king can reach that ultimate darkness.

Senior Jin advised me that I should possess a mental fortitude surpassing that of a god-king in order to carry out the mission.

This is the best place for me to hone my skills.

Looking at the dim world and carefully sensing the mental will in the middle layer of the dream realm, Qin Mu revealed a satisfied expression.

His mental will is actually only at the second level of the God King realm.

Only with the blessing of the 'Divine Suppression Pearl' can one be elevated to the ultimate realm of God King.

In such areas, the invasion of mental will is all-encompassing; whether it's the operation of the heart chakra or the insect swarm's adaptive environmental characteristics, both can rapidly enhance mental will.

"Qin Mu, it's up to you now!"

"Zongfu God King looked at Qin Mu and said."

"Be careful. There are many creatures in the Dream Realm, and they are extremely powerful and not to be trifled with," said King Yufu. He had been the one to scout ahead before, so he knew best about the dangers involved.

Along the way, he also told Qin Mu about many dangers.

"Don't worry, I was prepared."

Qin Mu smiled confidently; the more creatures in the dream realm, the better, and the stronger they were, the better.

Only by hunting down these dream-realm creatures and obtaining their bloodline genes can the swarm grow stronger.

call!

The Kunpeng flew out of its body and transformed into a size of millions of kilometers, opening its mouth like a black hole.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A swarm of insects surged out like a tide, almost instantly obscuring the sky and the earth.

These insectoids come in various forms, some resembling beetles, spiders, or birds, while others are simply fragments of space or energy vortexes of time.

It includes nine supreme laws, such as life, destruction, space, and immeasurability.

Even the swarms of insects imbued with different primal laws such as fire, thunder, and earth scattered in all directions the moment they emerged, beginning to carefully explore this space in the middle layer.

Some of the pyramid-shaped mother hive units even crashed to the ground before the three of them in shock.

Then the fungal carpet tissue took root instantly and spread wildly into the distance.

The unique plant bloodlines within the dream realm were immediately incorporated into the insectoid gene pool, and analysis began rapidly afterward.

In a very short time, these spreading fungal carpet tissues acquired the characteristics of native life.

Moreover, new swarm units began to emerge from each mother hive, emanating an astonishing aura.

Throughout the entire process, Qin Mu made no attempt to conceal anything.

The swarm has successfully entered the dream realm, so there is no need to hide anymore. Before long, the entire dream realm will become the swarm's territory.

Two ancient kingdoms?

With their limited manpower, how much space can they explore?

There is a lot of space in the middle layer, according to the historical exploration of the origin continent.

It has tens of thousands of spaces.

Moreover, these spaces will continue to change over time, and after one or two centuries, they will be completely transformed, making it impossible to recognize their former appearance.

Therefore, past map information is useless; on-site investigation is always necessary.

Moreover, the creatures in the dream realm are incredibly diverse, with varying strengths and weaknesses.

The weakest among them possess the strength of an ordinary God-King, while the strongest even reach the Ultimate Realm level. This means they generally have low intelligence, clumsy moves, and are unwilling to leave their own space.

Otherwise, the power of the Origin Continent alone would not qualify it to explore.

"This is terrifying! There must be billions of them already, right? And each one of them has the combat power of the Chaos Realm. And what's that on the ground?"

Insect nest?

How can there be so many insect nests?

No wonder your swarm is so huge.

Looking at the overwhelming swarm of insects, and then at the new swarms constantly emerging from the ground, King Yufu couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Is this all the power you have? Truly astonishing! If these insect hives could reach the God-King realm and produce God-King level warriors, wouldn't they be even more terrifying than the World Beast Kings?"

King Zongfu also gasped in shock.

Why is the Beast King so terrifying?

What's most terrifying isn't its own ultimate God-King level combat power, but its ability to breed warriors!

Warriors at the God-King level, or even the ultimate God-King realm!

The Purple Wood God King relied on that Beast King to establish a first-class power.

"God King Realm? Of course, it's possible, but I'm still a bit short of it and need to cultivate it for a while longer."

"Brother Zongfu, Brother Yufu, God King Dongyang, let's rest here for a while. The insect swarm will soon have explored this area thoroughly."

Qin Mu smiled and casually took out an ordinary palace magic treasure, displaying a large amount of food and wine.

A virtual map appeared in the center of the palace, filling in at an extremely fast pace and continuing to expand outwards.

……

brush!

A reconnaissance unit, flying at the forefront like a dragonfly, with its six pairs of compound eyes scanning the surroundings, exuded the aura of the very essence of space.

Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in its eyes.

The dragonfly-like reconnaissance unit quickly approached, its six pairs of compound eyes on its head swirling with countless secret patterns, and another eye appeared in the center of its forehead.

Eyes composed entirely of spatial runes!

Eye of Space!

Under the detection of this Eye of Space, a vast lake appeared, surrounded by mountains that stretched to the sky.

The lake shimmered, with a white light shining in its center, as if some treasure was hidden within.

A faint sound could be heard coming from within the white light, seemingly luring the space dragonfly closer.

Dragonflies carefully probed the space.

"Boom—"

The surrounding mountains, resembling a huge lake, suddenly shook violently, generating an extremely strong suction force that instantly turned the space dragonfly into powder.

What kind of lake is this?

It's clearly the gaping mouth of some giant life form!

The surrounding mountains that pierce the sky are its teeth!

"So weak."

The enormous creature's gaping maw opened once more, preparing to lure other creatures over, but then it looked over with a puzzled expression.

From the direction the space dragonfly had come from, several more similar life forms appeared, and then more and more appeared.

"A great start! This is a dream realm creature at the second level of the God King realm?"

Looking at the enormous life form, Qin Mu smiled.

Almost simultaneously, the swarm encountered more than a dozen Dream Realm creatures in other areas of their exploration.

"Swarm, devour it!" (End of Chapter)
