Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 250 The Madness of Mohe, Hunzhen's Thoughts

"These life forms in the cosmic ocean are more difficult to deal with than we imagined!"

"I'm all alone, with no one to share the pressure. If this continues, it wouldn't be surprising if I had to use the Boundary Light Channel to escape!"

"Then it would be a losing proposition!"

For these reasons, Gugal abandoned his activities in the Cosmic Sea.

After returning to the third tier, he rejoined the mainstream of the Beast Realm and is not without hope of becoming the final king!

"Gadilla, wait for me!!!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Gugar's eyes.

Suddenly—

Endless black light enveloped Gul'gall.

"Click, click."

Mohe, having waited patiently, devoured Gugar's flesh and blood under Gugar's horrified gaze.

"To evolve to the fifth tier, it needs to devour far too much destructive essence."

"I need to devour about nine hundred more Tier 3 World Beasts like Gugar to break through..."

A dark glint flashed in Mohe's eyes.

As he digested the essence of Gugal, Gugal's experiences over the past few centuries simultaneously surfaced in his mind.

"Not enough! Not enough! It's too slow!"

A progress rate of one-thousandth every few hundred years is considered a very fast evolutionary speed, not to mention for a fourth-tier world beast, even for a third-tier world beast.

But Mohe still felt a sense of urgency.

What he cared about was that this trip had not forced Hunzhen to take action.

The true gods, who had expanded in the cosmic sea, gradually stopped taking the true nature of things seriously.

As Morgana's insane last words spread, their terror of the Beasts began to rise.

But Mohe, who now stands at the pinnacle of the Beast Realm, which is regarded as the embodiment of terror by the True Gods of the Universe Sea, is filled with apprehension towards Hunzhen.

Without a doubt, Mohe today is the most powerful life form in this dimension of the universe that clearly understands the true nature of reality!

Therefore, theoretically, Hunzhen poses a very low threat to the Beasts of the Realm, but Mohe still can't help but be vigilant and on guard!

Even after millions of years, Hunzhen's strength continues to improve!

It's like there are no bottlenecks!

He began to worry...

Given Hunzhen's growth rate, by the time the battle for the Beast King is nearing its end, will he be unable to defeat Hunzhen?

What if the opponent's strength increases to a level that even if he becomes a king, he won't be able to handle?

Once such a terrifying idea takes hold, it spreads uncontrollably.

Indeed, Hunzhen's upper limit has somewhat exceeded the comprehension of the Mohe Beast's inherited memories.

The King of Beasts can only be born by devouring all the Beasts of the Realm!

It doesn't matter whether you reach the fifth or sixth rank before becoming a king; this is an inevitable rule!

Even if he only has a handful of fourth-tier world beasts left when he advances to the sixth tier, and continues to develop, he will inevitably become a king. However, before he completes his final devouring, he will still only be a world beast in the gestation stage!

It's highly likely they won't be a match for the current Hunzhen!

Taking the lead and always being ahead, as the first Beast to reach the fourth tier, Mohe has a very high chance of becoming the ultimate king.

However, to prevent being attacked by other third-tier world beasts, he always hid himself and carried out assassinations like an assassin, which greatly reduced his growth rate.

At the current rate of efficiency, it will take at least a trillion years before we become the ultimate ruler!

(In the original novel, the Jin world reached 1 trillion epochs, and the World Beasts appeared in the cosmic sea. The current progress in Mohe is even faster, and the time reduction of 6300 times is, in my opinion, within a reasonable range.)

And how far will Hunzhen grow after trillions of years?

Over millions of years, Hunzhen has risen from the eleventh level to the fourteenth level!

A trillion years, a hundred thousand times that! Even if the efficiency of improvement decreases as cultivation progresses, considering that the fourteenth level might not be the current limit of Hunzhen's combat power, and considering that Hunzhen has not yet broken through to the True God realm, his strength in a trillion years should at least be at the sixteenth level!

Even if he becomes the King of Beasts in Mohe, is he guaranteed to be able to defeat a level 16 warrior?

He wasn't sure.

Most importantly, he already knew from the new "Cosmic Sea Traitor" that even after Morgana made his harsh remarks and the World Beast Alliance began to fall into turmoil, Hunzhen did not show up at all!

This guy might actually disregard the lives of everyone else in the Cosmic Sea and wait until he's mastered his divine skills before emerging from seclusion!

"We must...complete the evolution faster!"

"We cannot continue down this steady path!"

"I don't have reliable capital!"

This is the conclusion reached after Mohe conducted its exploration and analysis.

A hint of madness flashed in Mohe's eyes.

"The plan has been changed; there's no need to seek to reach level five first and gain an absolute advantage."

"Once I've traveled a certain distance from the fourth tier, I'll unleash the most direct slaughter!"

"This move not only significantly increases my risk of demise, but also greatly increases the probability of fourth-tier world beasts appearing, producing numerous fourth-tier world beasts ahead of schedule! This will create many competitors who can threaten me!"

"But I still have an advantage—the advantage of being able to reach the fifth tier earlier!"

……

Perhaps Morgana's last words had a greater impact than expected.

In an effort to stabilize morale and boost morale, the Beast Alliance, under the banner of "seeking verification," dispatched several powerful individuals to form a team and head towards the dark, gloomy area at the core of the Peak Realm, the Beast Nest.

The fact that Gugal turned and fled upon seeing the treasures of the Bech Star Lord's palace showed that the Beast Alliance already knew about them. Because of the existence of the traitors in the cosmic sea, the Beasts knew them far better than they had imagined.

On the contrary, they knew almost nothing about the Beasts of the Realm.

They must find out some information about the Beasts of the Realm.

This is an exploration team led by the Star Lord of Bechi, a top powerhouse in the cosmic sea.

In the eyes of the people in the Cosmic Sea, no matter how powerful the World Beast was, with the abilities of Lord Beichi Star and others, simply exploring should not be a problem.

However, the actual situation is quite the opposite.

The group led by Lord Beichi Star were discovered by the Beasts shortly after entering the border of the Dark Land. They were besieged by numerous Beasts and forced to retreat in defeat.

This is not surprising.

Unlike Luo Feng in the original story, who enslaved Morosa and could sense the location of other world beasts and avoid them in advance, Bei Chixingzhu and others did not possess the "formless and shapeless" ability that Luo Feng gained after having 100,000 times more perfect genes, which allowed them to conceal their life force.

Even though sensing was difficult in the Dark Land, the Beasts had lived there for countless years. Given their large numbers and ability to communicate instantly, it was easy for them to detect the invading Lord Beichi and his group.

Even though the attack only occurred on the outermost perimeter, the Star Lord Beichi and his companions were still terrified and fled in panic.

They did not ascertain the number of Beasts within the Dark Land, but... the exact number of Beasts was no longer important.

Because they were only on the outermost edge when they were besieged by thousands of world beasts.

Each of those Beasts possessed strength no less than that of the Beasts that invaded the Cosmic Sea.

Lord Beichi Star was confident that dealing with a few World Beasts would be no problem, but dealing with ten at the same time was extremely dangerous, and he was at risk of perishing at any moment!

They were attacked by thousands of world beasts. If they hadn't been hiding in the palace's treasures, they would probably have died instantly!

Even if the total number of World Beasts was only ten times that they saw on the outside, the various races and forces in the Cosmic Sea still had no hope of survival or victory!

And it is obvious that, given the size of the dark place, there could not possibly be only ten times the number!

Lord Beichi thought to himself, so what if my strength becomes ten times greater in the years to come? So what if the overall power of the cosmic sea expands a hundredfold?

They saw no hope whatsoever.

They returned to the Beast Alliance with the news, but also brought panic, proving that the dying words of the Beast were true.

In an instant, the entire universe was filled with panic and fear.

Countless true gods have entertained the idea of ​​betrayal and surrender.

In such a situation, even with all his confidence in his disciples, the Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Hunzhen, are we really going to let our morale plummet like this? If this continues, I'm afraid more than half of the True Gods will choose to defect to the Realm Beasts?"

Within the primordial universe, the Lord of Chaos looked at the energy avatar of his disciple, his tone tinged with anxiety.

"Teacher, don't worry. Even if so many people wanted to surrender, the Beasts wouldn't accept them. They're incredibly arrogant! They consider taking in a few insects as spies a favor, how could they possibly recruit so many people like they would subordinates?"

Hunzhen's words of comfort caused the Chaos City Lord's lips to twitch slightly. "Is that the problem?!"

Seeing the Chaos City Lord's discomfiture, Hunzhen grinned: "Don't worry, the World Beasts don't care about the 'threat' of the Cosmic Sea at all. They only care about competing with each other and becoming the final World Beast King! So, unless it's truly the last moment, they'll be busy killing each other and won't easily come to the Cosmic Sea. Actions like this are probably just a few lucky losers who escaped being devoured by their own kind, but seeing no hope of becoming king, they came to the Cosmic Sea to try their luck. These few scattered World Beasts are still within our control."

"Besides, even if I'm not here, there's still Junior Brother Luo Feng, right? With Luo Feng's current strength, he is undoubtedly the strongest person besides me. Even if a World Beast stronger than the one that appeared this time appears, it will not be a match for Luo Feng."

Hearing Hunzhen's explanation, the Lord of Chaos City felt somewhat relieved.

He was very clear about Luo Feng's growth over the past ten million years.

Although Hunzhen ultimately won the title and obtained the "Lieyuan Technique," the divine power inheritance that greatly enhanced Luo Feng's strength was not neglected.

Not long after his training at Wuqi Tower, Luo Feng returned to the Cosmic Sea and began his original analysis and research on life.

Now that so much time has passed, although he still hasn't broken through to the third level of the Divine Power path, he has made a considerable distance in the second level of the Divine Power path.

Most importantly, during the period of the invasion of the World Beasts, with so many World Beasts appearing, Luo Feng has naturally collected the blood of the World Beasts. The path to perfect genes is now unobstructed, and he is just waiting for time to accumulate and unleash his full potential.

Although, judging from the original content, this will take a little longer...

Even though he hasn't taken the final step, Luo Feng's strength should not be underestimated.

Defeating a third-tier world beast is a piece of cake.

Even using the Star Tower to suppress and enslave the World Beasts in advance is not impossible, since most of the World Beasts that have arrived this time are second-tier.

However, under Hunzhen's instructions, Luo Feng did not make such a move.

Hunzhen knew very well that once Luo Feng enslaved the Beasts, it would inevitably cause the Beasts in the Beast Nest to riot and rush out to kill Luo Feng at all costs!

If they fail to eliminate Luo Feng, they will shift their offensive, greatly accelerating the process of the final king's birth, and set their sights on eliminating the enslaved world beasts.

At that point, Hunzhen would have no choice but to break through to the True God realm ahead of schedule.

This is certainly not the situation that Hunzhen wanted to see.

Therefore, Hunzhen used the excuse of having read some of the "inherited knowledge" about the World Beasts to tell Luo Feng about it. Regardless of whether Luo Feng had any intention of enslaving the World Beasts, he nipped the idea in the bud.

Unaware of Hunzhen's true thoughts, the Chaos City Lord's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Hunzhen, are you truly confident in your ability to handle so many Realm Beasts?"

"Right now, I'm only 50% sure."

Hunzhen said in a deep voice, "But if we take another step forward, we'll be absolutely certain. That's why I refused that so-called support operation and focused on my cultivation, wasn't it?"

After Wu Qilou, Hunzhen transformed the energy incarnation ratio. Only one unit of energy remained in the Cosmic Sea, while the rest of the incarnations came to the Jin World, focusing on the cultivation of will sanctification and the exploration of the truth of the world.

Of course, the claim of a 50% certainty is a lie.

Even now, if he were to directly break through to the True God realm, he would be 100% confident in resolving the World Beast crisis; even without breaking through to the True God realm, he would be more than 50% confident.

However, the Beasts of the Realm are numerous and possess powerful escape techniques.

Solving the crisis of the Beast Realm on his own will take up a lot of his time.

He had no intention of wasting his cultivation time on so many irrelevant people in the cosmic sea.

Now is not the best time to resolve the crisis of the Beast Realm.

If we're talking about the best time to deal with the World Beast crisis, it's neither the initial stage when World Beasts are newly born and most numerous, nor the later stage when they have evolved into sixth-tier World Beasts with the ability to multiply into millions.

Instead, the mainstream of the World Beasts is at the fourth or fifth tier, with only a few hundred or a thousand World Beasts remaining.

At this point, you can directly suppress and enslave a fourth-tier world beast, then let it devour a fifth-tier world beast to reach the fifth tier. Alternatively, if your soul enslavement ability is strong, you can directly enslave a fifth-tier world beast.

Considering the huge difference in strength between a fifth-tier world beast and a fourth-tier world beast, achieving this is extremely difficult. Therefore, unless you are absolutely certain, you should choose the first step.

Then the remaining World Beasts will naturally devour each other, creating an extremely powerful sixth-tier World Beast.

Driven by fate, which is the supreme rule, a final battle to the death is forced to unfold.

This would neutralize the ability of a sixth-tier world beast to escape with its numerous, extremely difficult-to-deal-with clones.

The difference in strength between fifth-tier and sixth-tier world beasts is not significant, and there is no qualitative change.

With the master and servant working together, they are fully confident of defeating the sixth-tier world beast head-on and winning the victory.

This way, while resolving the crisis of the Beast Realm, one can also obtain a Beast Realm King's servant.

This is the idea of ​​Hunzhen.

This was also his request to Luo Feng to exchange the favors he had previously done.

Only Luo Feng's Star Tower, a supreme treasure of the God-King level palace, possesses the absolute power to suppress world beasts.

"Teacher, if you are worried about the Grandmaster's miniature universe, then I will go there to guard it."

Hunzhen smiled and said, "Although I declined to join the rescue team, there's naturally no conflict in guarding a place. With my strength, even if I'm just an energy avatar, I'll definitely ensure those world beasts don't return!"

"And when I complete my breakthrough, the World Beast Calamity will be completely resolved!"
