Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

"A bunch of weak insects dare to challenge me?"

The enormous creature, which was about to fall into slumber, became enraged. It opened its massive maw and unleashed an immense suction force upon the swarm of insects.

The insectoid units flying at the forefront were instantly crushed into bloody foam, which then transformed into streaks of bloody light that flew into the mouth of the giant creature.

But the next moment.

An endless swarm of insects gathered behind them, secret patterns flashed, and in an instant, they transformed into an insect tide.

A massive swarm of insects swept over the enormous creature.

Rumbling--

The colossal creature hidden underground finally couldn't hold back any longer. Its massive body rose from the ground and transformed into the shape of a giant crocodile.

wow——

The space swarm and the giant crocodile dream creature clashed.

……

"Invaders!" More than twenty towering trees rose from the ground, transforming into tree-like beings, and killed a group of invading insect swarm reconnaissance units.

Each tree-man possesses the strength of a second-level God-King.

In the center of these tree-people stands a verdant fruit tree, its dozens of fruits radiating boundless vitality, making the vegetation of the entire mountain range exceptionally lush.

……

In an endless, wide, winding river, hundreds of silver fish gather, seemingly frolicking within.

The weakest of these fish is at least at the first level of the God King realm, while the strongest of them has reached the ultimate level of the God King realm!

Their attack method is also extremely simple: they constantly move back and forth.

Traveling at extremely high speeds!

Almost instantly, millions of swarm units were killed; the swarm didn't even have time to form a hive.

Within the nest of the silver fish, faint singing seemed to emanate from the pale blue, aquatic plants, making the silver fish reluctant to leave.

……

In the dark valley, dense vines take root and grow.

In the natural caves of the valley, crystal-clear stalactites drip down.

Hundreds of millions of kilometers away in the valley, hundreds of stone giants slept in a rocky mountain range, with only a dozen or so smaller ones frolicking.

These playful stone giants held pieces of dark blue metal in their hands, tossing them around like toys.

In mid-air, the space itself was torn apart by the dark blue metal.

……

Within the mountain range, inside the palace.

The Divine King Zongfu, the Divine King Yufu, the Divine King Dongyang, and Qin Mu are all here.

In the center of the palace, a dozen or so illusory screens projected all the dream creatures discovered by the swarm into the air.

"This efficiency is truly astounding! How long has it taken to discover so many dream beings and so many treasures!" King Yufu picked up the wine jug and poured Qin Mu a cup.

He was always the one paving the way, and only he knew the hardships he endured.

Even though he followed the path of life and the origin of matter, and was able to create numerous clones with extremely strong defenses, he still couldn't withstand the various attacks from the creatures of the dream realm.

Faced with all sorts of terrifying monsters in the Dream Realm, King Yu Fu was often forced to flee in a sorry state.

"That's right. In the past, we would just act as soon as we found a treasure, but now we have to choose the right opportunity," King Zongfu sighed.

The God King Yu was extremely careful when he explored the path.

Because each clone needs to carry a large amount of energy to maintain the God-King's combat power, and in the Dream Realm, at least a clone with the strength of the second level of God-King is needed to effectively investigate.

Even the loss of a single Yu Fu God King would be a painful blow for such a powerful clone.

But Qin Mu is different.

The swarm of insects marched straight over.

Although the scout swarm flying at the forefront is not strong, its perception ability is extremely amazing.

The spatial eye, formed by spatial reconnaissance units, can observe all spatial fluctuations.

The reconnaissance units in the Zerg Swarm are capable of using a secret technique called Eye of Life, which allows them to detect all signs of life.

The same applies to other Zerg legions; each Zerg legion possesses similar secret techniques.

Eye of Destruction, Eye of Limitlessness, Eye of Time, and so on.

Each one has its own unique characteristics.

What amazed the three of them most was that these special reconnaissance techniques could actually be integrated with each other!

For example, they saw a spatial swarm reconnaissance unit and a temporal reconnaissance unit combined in a strange way to form a spacetime eye.

Under the eye of time and space, no trace can be hidden.

Even the school of silvery fish could not stop this kind of spying.

Once the swarm detects anything unusual, a large number of reconnaissance units quickly gather and conduct a thorough search in various ways, almost as if showing off their skills.

Under this carpet search, no creature in the dream realm can escape it.

Although a significant portion of the swarm was lost in the process, the number lost was negligible compared to the entire swarm army.

"The creatures of the Dream Realm live in their own spaces and rarely stray too far from their location."

They generally have low intelligence and seem to coexist with this space.

Look, that giant crocodile is called the Dark Rock Crocodile.

The light emanating from its mouth was actually a flower, the Illusionary Flower, worth approximately eight million merit points, which was of immense benefit to the soul.

The fruit guarded by these tree-people is the Azure Spirit Fruit.

The Azure Spirit Fruit is a supreme treasure of the Great Dao of Life's Origin, and one fruit is worth five million merit points.

There are a total of thirty-six of them here!

The eyes of the Eastern Sun God King shone brightly.

On the continent of origin, the value of treasures is evaluated based on the contributions of the two ancient kingdoms.

This is something that all the god-kings generally agree on.

"And the nest where the silver fish is located, those plants that look like aquatic plants are called Water Spirit Flower Enchanting Grass, which are of great benefit to the fusion of water attribute Hunyuan bloodline."

Each one is worth three million merit points.

There are at least a hundred of them in that area.

Unfortunately, those silverfish were too powerful. Not only was their leader at the ultimate level of the God King realm, but there were also more than a dozen at the second level of the Biological Realm. We had no chance at all.

"Zongfu God King said with some regret."

"Let's collect the easy ones first, and then consider the others. Although this school of silverfish is strong, we might still have a chance." Qin Mu's eyes flickered.

Although the Water Spirit Flower and Enchanting Grass were important, he valued the Silver Fish itself even more!

Beforehand, he had the swarm conduct some simple probes.

The characteristics of this vast dream realm creature group are very peculiar.

Their powers work together perfectly, as if they were one!

This kind of cooperation is even more impressive than a swarm of insects turning into a swarm!

How could Qin Mu not be envious?

This ability is possessed by the tree-men, the schools of silver fish, and even the stone giants!

And they are all different.

If the silverfish represent ultimate speed, then the treants represent boundless life force!

When they come together, the operating rules of the dream realm change, generating an overwhelming force of binding and squeezing.

This kind of constriction and compression is not force!

It's a rule!

Even if millions of Chaos Realm insect swarms gathered together, they would not be able to resist them in the slightest.

The more creatures there are in the Dream Realm, the greater their impact on the rules governing the Dream Realm. Hundreds of Dream Realm creatures have already significantly affected the surrounding rules.

This ability made Qin Mu ecstatic.

If the insect swarm can master this ability, the power unleashed by the insect tide will be terrifying.

The Insect Realm will become a place of absolute control in the true sense!

According to the information provided by Jin, the Abyss Alien possesses similar abilities.

The more Abyssal Aliens gather together, the greater their impact on the rules governing the Source World.

When a certain point is reached, the entire operating rules of the source world will be replaced.

There must be a corresponding way to counter the swarm.

"Alright, let's first seize the Illusionary Flower guarded by the Dark Rock Crocodile, and then plunder the Azure Spirit Fruit..."

Without hesitation, the group made a decision quickly.

With the swarm of insects providing location information, the group quickly broke free of their concealment and flew towards the Dark Rock Crocodile.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

When everyone arrived, the vast swarm of insects, spanning billions of kilometers, was shrouded in endless mist. The intense spatial pressure made it difficult for the Dark Rock Crocodile to move.

However, the swarm's attack was still a bit weak, and it was difficult to break through its thick scales.

"This is the Void Severing Array? It actually works perfectly with your swarm of insects, impressive!" King Yufu examined the Dark Rock Crocodile trapped in the center.

The Void Severing Boundary Array was the one he exchanged with Qin Mu, so he naturally recognized it.

"Let's make a move. Dealing with it isn't difficult! It's just a second-level God King realm cultivator, plus the insect swarm to suppress it."

But be careful not to harm the baby.

As agreed beforehand, Dongyang will use the formation to assist the insect swarm, while Yufu will attract his attention and I will seize the treasure!

After killing the Dark Rock Crocodile, its carcass belongs to Qin Mu, and the credit will be deducted from his share of the profits.

Qin Mu, Yu Fu, and Dong Yang all nodded.

Qin Mu knew very well that the swarm's killing power was still somewhat lacking.

Although bringing in a large swarm of insects could eventually wear down the Dark Rock Crocodile, the efficiency was clearly too low.

It's a different story if you have a few people helping you.

The creatures of the Dream Realm are too peculiar. Whether it is their mental will or their ability to manipulate rules, they are excellent experimental materials for the insect swarm, and they must obtain as many as possible.

"Let's do it."

Under the cover of the swarm, the three of them quickly approached the Dark Rock Crocodile, a key member of the swarm.

Buzz~~~

An invisible force began to ripple, and Zongfu and the other two revealed themselves.

The Dark Rock Crocodile, entangled with the swarm of insects, quickly spotted the three people flying towards it and roared as it pounced.

Yu Fu God King grinned maliciously, his massive body suddenly swelled up, and he actually rammed head-on into the Dark Rock Crocodile. His towering body's two huge hands gripped the Dark Rock Crocodile firmly like iron clamps.

They were restricting the Dark Rock Crocodile in the simplest and most brutal way.

In an instant, the God King Zongfu transformed into a whirlwind of cause and effect, sweeping towards the Illusionary Flower and easily seizing it.

"In the Dream Realm, the various treasures that are nurtured seem to be the key to the operation of the Dream Realm. Once you get close to a treasure, the operating rules of the Dream Realm will make any escape techniques manifest."

This applies to everyone, regardless of who they are, when they approach the treasure.

Qin Mu did not make a move, but watched from a distance.

Although it was his first time in the Dream Realm, he had already sensed the operating rules within it.

The rules governing the Dream Realm are unique and completely different from the supreme rules of the Origin Continent, giving the impression of being like the rules for clearing levels in a game.

Passing by is easy, but what if you want to obtain treasure?

Then we must fight!

It has to be a head-on battle; a sneak attack is almost impossible.

These rules must be followed.

The rules governing the Dream Realm are not as perfect as the supreme rules of the Origin Continent, but they are clearly not something that beings like Qin Mu and the God King Zongfu, who have not yet escaped their shackles, can defy.

"Treasure obtained! Slay it!"

King Zongfu laughed heartily, and a giant scythe appeared in his hand, which he slashed at the Dark Rock Crocodile.

Normally, they would choose to leave immediately after obtaining the treasure.

But since Qin Mu needed it and was willing to exchange merit points for it, they certainly didn't mind killing him.

boom!

This was the first time Qin Mu had witnessed the methods of the God King Zongfu and the God King Yufu.

The two have completely different styles. Yu Fu God King's attacks, which seem brutal, actually contain many mysteries. Every attack hits the Dark Rock Crocodile's weak points.

And its power is astonishing.

Relying on its thick hide, the Dark Rock Crocodile neither dodged nor evaded the spatial blades unleashed by the Space Swarm Legion, taking them head-on.

But when faced with the fist of the God King Yufu, he dodged repeatedly, each blow tearing his skin and flesh.

The causal scythe unleashed by the God-King Zongfu was far more bizarre.

Each time, it pierced directly through the Dark Rock Crocodile's body, instantly severing large sections of causal threads.

The seemingly illusory attack can inflict damage even greater than that of the God King Yufu.

The Eastern Sun God King's methods were much simpler; he merely tossed out a set of array diagrams to coordinate with the insect swarm on the outside, and made no other moves.

Moments later, the Dark Rock Crocodile turned into a corpse.

"That was exhilarating! Under your swarm of insects, this Dark Rock Crocodile had difficulty dodging and took more than ten of my attacks before I hammered it to death."

Yu Fu, the God King, walked over carrying the corpse of the Dark Rock Crocodile.

"Brother Yufu is awesome!"

Qin Mu chuckled as he collected the corpse, praising it.

The swarm of insects struggled to break through the defenses, but Yuf could kill them with ease.

"Haha, stop flattering me. Let's go seize the Azure Spirit Fruit! We have plenty of treasures to take. Qin Mu's insect swarm just discovered two more!"

King Zongfu was also in a very good mood.

While they were traveling and fighting, the swarm continued to expand at an extremely rapid pace.

"Walk!"

The group flew away again, heading towards another area.

However, dealing with more than twenty tree-men is not so easy.

Each of these tree-men possesses the strength of a second-level God King. Five of the stronger ones are even more terrifying than the Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord, while the remaining seventeen have also reached the threshold of the second-level God King realm.

Their moves are rather clumsy, and they have low intelligence, which is a common trait among all creatures in the dream realm.

If they fight one-on-one, the swarm can wear them down one by one.

But when these tree-people realized something was wrong, they immediately used a method of combination. When their power was combined through some special means, even the Bathing God King could not withstand it.

"Hmph! They're getting serious now!"

The Bathing God King let out a low roar and transformed into a three-headed, six-armed form.

Each arm held a weapon, a weapon of the second level of the God King realm!

It could be a shield, a battle axe, or a whip, and so on.

The six divine weapons unleashed their power, and through their combined efforts, they were able to briefly contend with the united treants, which alarmed Qin Mu, who was urging the insect swarm to suppress them.

No wonder he once stood up against the Emperor alongside the God-King Zongfu.

"The treasure is in our hands! Let's attack together!" (End of Chapter)
