Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

With the help of the insect swarm, King Yufu withstood the attack of the Dream Realm Treants.

On the other side, the God King Zongfu seized the treasure in one fell swoop, and then instantly unleashed an astonishing power.

Wow!

An invisible wind of cause and effect blew by, but this time, the invincible wind of cause and effect was powerless against the combined strength of more than twenty tree people.

"snort!"

The God King Zongfu's expression turned cold, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

The instant the sword was drawn, countless blades of light appeared.

Countless blades flashed, enveloping all the treants.

These tree-men were all at the second level of the God King realm, incredibly large in size, and possessed immense vitality. They showed no fear in the face of the sword light and continued to charge forward.

Tear!

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth from the countless blades in front of the weakest of the tree-men.

Clearly, these countless sword lights were merely upward attacks; the true killing move was hidden within a seemingly inconspicuous ray of light.

The treant that was struck by the sword had its massive body torn apart, with most of it split in two.

But in the next instant, endless life force surged, and the torn body was instantly healed.

"Boom!"

Blood crimson filled the sky and earth, and the operating rules of the dream realm all changed around the twenty-odd tree people, who looked at the God King Zongfu and his companions with endless hatred.

Their offspring have been stolen!

Yes, the Jade Spirit Fruit is a supreme treasure of the Great Dao of Life's origin, and it is also their descendant!

All tree people are born from the Azure Fruit.

Even their own people were severely injured!

The surrounding power of the rules went berserk instantly, making it impossible for even a top-tier God King like Zongfu, at the second level of the God King realm, to resist.

"Not good! These dream realm creatures are going berserk. The more life forms there are in the dream realm, the greater the impact on the operating rules. More than twenty creatures at the second level of the God King realm have already significantly affected the surrounding rules... We are no match for them if we fight them head-on."

The Divine King Zongfu transmitted his voice.

His original intention was to instantly kill one of them and take its corpse to Qin Mu.

But he never expected that the tree spirit's vitality was so vast that even he could not succeed in taking it down.

The enraged treant leader swung his massive branch arm down, unleashing nothing but boundless, overwhelming power.

Zongfu God King dared not resist directly and quickly retreated behind Yufu God King.

The God King Yufu, with three heads and six arms, wielded weapons to defend himself. His shield, battle axe, and other weapons emitted numerous secret patterns, using various mysterious methods to resist the attack.

Each time they collided, the God King Yufu's body would shudder.

The treants, now united as one, launched a series of powerful attacks. On one occasion, a single lash struck the God-King Yufu, causing his armor to tremble and his divine body to shatter.

"You must not confront these tree-men head-on. The five strongest ones have all reached the peak of the second level of the realm. It is almost impossible for us to kill them."

"Qin Mu, let's retreat!" Yu Fu, the Divine King, transmitted his voice.

In fact, in terms of sheer power and strength, these five tree-men are stronger than King Yufu.

However, in terms of cultivation level, Yu Fu God King was high enough to be evenly matched with him.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

From behind, the Eastern Sun God King unleashed a scroll of array diagrams. Within the diagrams, endless flames surged forth, as if a world of fire were sweeping in, threatening to burn the heavens and earth.

With the help of the formation's power, this attack had already reached the second level of the God King realm.

The invisible domain naturally weakened the world of fire, and the weakened fire left no mark on the treant.

"No, my array power is weakened by the domain and can't function at all," the Eastern Sun God King also transmitted his voice.

If they hadn't promised to help Qin Mu collect the remains of life forms from the Dream Domain as much as possible, they would have retreated immediately upon obtaining the treasure instead of fighting it head-on.

"Alright, everyone, retreat! The Zerg swarm will cover you!"

Qin Mu did not force them to kill the treant, and immediately urged the swarm of Destruction Insects supporting them to rush over.

This is true.

Even the God King Yufu, who had been enduring the attacks of the tree people, was finding it difficult to withstand them, even in his three-headed, six-armed form.

The most powerful five-headed treant's divine body would shatter with each lash.

Even his ankles were bound by the extending branches, and in a little while, even this clone of the Yu Fu God King might be trapped here.

The black, ocean-like swarm of insects surged and crashed into the domain of rules, burning their divine power wildly to resist the invasion of the rules' forces and attack the treant warriors.

Bang!

The treant lashed out, and the power of the rules above the swarm of insects manifested, causing the giant branches to slow down considerably, killing only a small portion of the insect swarm at the very front.

This loss was negligible to the insect swarm, and soon more destructive insect swarms attacked, with endless runes connecting the insect swarm together for joint defense.

The surging swarm of insects entangled all the tree-men.

More than twenty tree-men roared repeatedly. They were extremely powerful, but they did not understand the secrets.

It is simply powerful, fast, and resilient.

Once caught in the swarm of insects, although each swing of the branches could kill a large number of insects, it also trapped the insects.

Upon seeing this, King Yufu immediately retreated and hid inside the swarm of insects.

Meanwhile, the God-King Zongfu retreated to the rear the moment the insect swarm arrived, marveling at the power unleashed by the endless, surging insect tide.

"That's truly remarkable. To be able to control so many swarms of insects at the same time is like commanding a massive army all by oneself."

This is an astonishing burden on the soul, on the will of the mind.

Zongfu God-King is a powerful being of the Great Dao of the Origin of Life.

If he wanted, he could also create hundreds of billions of Chaos Realm clones.

But dispersing the body to such an extent is also a great burden on his mind and will.

They were simply unable to unleash any sophisticated techniques.

You must know that his mental will surpasses the level of a God-King! There are very few powerful figures in the entire Origin Continent who can do that.

"It's truly amazing, especially since it's particularly effective against those clumsy dream-realm creatures."

The God-King Yufu, who had withdrawn, looked at the roaring treant leader with lingering fear.

If he had held out a little longer, he might have been seriously injured.

"Huh? Qin Mu, why are you still mobilizing the insect swarm from the rear?"

The somewhat frustrated Dongyang God King looked at the swarm of insects still surging in like a tide behind him and asked with some curiosity.

They have already retreated, and the swarm only needs to disperse; those treants won't be able to kill many of them.

Zongfu God King and Yufu God King also looked back in surprise.

A massive swarm of insects converged from all directions, completely surrounding and sealing off all the tree-men.

"Haha, I want to test the strength of the Zerg swarm, and these treants are the perfect target."

It is powerful, but its moves are clumsy, and it doesn't know how to escape when surrounded by swarms of insects.

Where could you find a better sparring partner?

Qin Mu's eyes gleamed as he watched the treants roaring and unleashing astonishing power amidst the swarm of insects.

"What? Using these tree-men as sparring partners?"

King Zongfu gasped, utterly astonished by Qin Mu's grand gesture.

This is a dream realm life form that even he and Yu Fu combined could not contend with; its combat power is terrifying.

But Qin Mu wanted to use the other party as a sparring partner!

"Haha, let's retreat first! I'll leave 100 legions to play with them. Don't worry, it won't delay other explorations."

"Let's go, let's go to the next place to seize the treasure."

Qin Mu laughed and prepared to leave with the three of them.

"100 legions?"

The three, including the God King Zongfu, looked at each other in bewilderment. They had no way of knowing how many Zerg warriors made up a Zerg army.

The number of insect swarms that have appeared so far is estimated to be close to 100 billion, and more swarms are still coming from afar.

All sorts of insect swarms!

Whether it be destruction, life, space, or anything else, the dark mass filled them with dread.

All the arriving insect swarms quickly merged into the insect tide, their power coalescing into one. Those within the insect tide could personally feel the astonishing pressure.

"Oh no! Let's get out of here."

After watching for a while, and seeing the battle between the Dream Realm Treants and the Insect Swarm, the God-King Zongfu shook his head and sighed.

He has discovered that the Zerg corpses that were blasted into mincemeat and blood mist by the Treants are being digested and absorbed by the Zerg swarm.

Although the swarm suffered heavy casualties, it actually lost very little energy.

If this drags on for too long, even though these tree-men possess the strength of a second-level God King, they will surely die.

If it were a second-level God King from the Origin Continent, they would have run away long ago.

Even if they don't run away, they will leave the range of the insect swarm, just like the Lord of Tiankun Kingdom fought against the insect swarm.

But these dream-realm beings clearly lack this intelligence.

……

time flies.

Zongfu and his team were very efficient, spending almost all their time traveling and dealing with three or four treasures every day.

These treasures are all extremely helpful to those at the second level of the God King realm, and they are all very valuable.

This made the eyes of the God King Zongfu and the God King Yufu turn red.

This is hardly an adventure.

They're here to collect treasure!

After obtaining a treasure at one location, they immediately head to the next.

Let the swarm go wherever there is danger; they only need to focus on securing the key objectives.

Once they succeed, the swarm of insects will cover their retreat.

Each move can easily earn millions of merit points, with a daily income of tens of millions.

The gains they made from ten separate trips into the Dream Realm didn't even come close to what they gained this time!

Safe! Efficient!

There is virtually no risk of it falling to the ground.

"The division of the treasures between us needs to be redistributed. Your 20% is too little. Let the three of us each take 30%, and Dongyang's share will remain unchanged."

After plundering the treasures once more, the God-King Zongfu looked at Qin Mu.

"I have no objection! A reallocation is indeed necessary."

King Yu Fu nodded in agreement.

Before entering, Qin Mu discussed the distribution of treasures within the Dream Realm with them.

As agreed beforehand, Zongfu God King and Yufu God King each took 35% of the shares, Qin Muxu took 20% of the shares, and Dongyang God King took 10% of the shares!

In the harsh environment of the Dream Realm, exploration is extremely important.

However, if someone makes a significant contribution during the process, the distribution ratio will be adjusted amicably afterward.

Clearly, after witnessing Qin Mu's strength, they no longer dared to let Qin Mu take 20%.

As for Dongyang, who was relegated to a minor role, he had no complaints whatsoever.

Although I only received 10%, the total gain was already much greater than before.

"Brother Zongfu, Brother Yufu, there's no need! I've already gained enough from entering the Dream Realm this time; a few treasures are all I have."

Qin Mu smiled and shook his head; he didn't actually value these treasures that much.

What he values ​​more is the land itself!

Before coming to the Dream Realm, he had guessed that it was a treasure trove very suitable for the insect swarm.

But once inside, he realized he had underestimated the importance of this dream realm to the swarm.

Not only can it temper one's mind and will, but the various creatures and plants in this mountain world also play an astonishing role in the evolution of the insect swarm.

On the Origin Continent, the insect swarm searched the wilderness but could not find a single beast at the God-King level.

But in this dream realm, while they may not be everywhere, they can be found easily.

While they were fighting the Treants, the swarm had already obtained more than a dozen corpses and body tissues of creatures from the First Realm of Dreams.

This is extremely important for the insect swarm.

After analyzing the data, Qin Mu discovered that these dream realm beings all possessed a thin layer of Hunyuan bloodline, making them beings somewhere between alien beasts and Hunyuan bloodlines.

This gave the insect swarm, which had conducted in-depth research on the bloodlines of alien beasts, an instant breakthrough, and also led to great progress in their research on the Hunyuan bloodline.

For example, the swarm of insects found a suitable entry point for the "Heart Demon Ape".

With the many creatures in the Dream Realm, the insect swarm will receive a comprehensive enhancement!

The most ingenious thing is that although the life forms in the Dream Realm have extremely high inherent power, they are very stupid. They have power but do not know how to use it. Even the leader of the tree people, who is at the peak of the second level of the God King realm, knows how to use brute force.

It's just faster and stronger.

The Zerg swarm is not afraid of fighting such an opponent; it will only suffer some casualties among its combat units.

This is the best sparring partner!

This allows you to test your bug swarms and many top-tier units one by one, discovering your weaknesses in actual combat.

Furthermore, the domain power of the Dream Realm race, whose lives are naturally united, made Qin Mu extremely envious.

This is the next direction for the evolution of the insectoid realm!

For example, the area where they are still fighting the Treants.

In the mountains and rivers at the heart of the battle, a mother nest had long since sunk into the earth. The creep tissue spread rapidly outwards from the mother nest, turning the entire mountain range into an insect domain.

The contiguous insect domain began to unleash its power, contending with the domain jointly unleashed by more than twenty second-level God-King realm treants.

The pure divine power and the power of rules squeezed together, causing the dream realm space to deform.

This also allowed the insect swarm to experience the power of the dream realm's rules in the most direct way.

This is something that no amount of treasure can buy!

"What's rightfully yours is yours; otherwise, we wouldn't dare cooperate with you. In fact, we're the ones who benefited from your deal this time."

Zongfu God King smiled.

"Let's go, we're going to the next space. We've basically gotten all the treasures we could get here; the rest are just tough nuts to crack."

"Okay! Let's move on to the next one."

The group had made plans for this before they arrived.

In the past, they usually explored five spaces. Based on past experience, it is estimated that Zongfu God King and the others could gain hundreds of millions of merit points by exploring five spaces.

But this time, they reaped far more rewards than in the past!

From just this one space, they've reaped hundreds of millions in profits.

"Wait, my swarm has detected another group of God-Kings entering this space; they seem to be members of the Time-Space Ark." (End of Chapter)
