Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

"There are two ways to get through each level. One is to kill all the targets and be teleported. The second is to survive for ten days and then be automatically teleported."

Jiang Chen lowered his head and looked at the requirements of the approved task.

"You can stay on each floor for a maximum of 10 days, so you can stay in one trial tower for a maximum of 70 days. Five trial towers would take 350 days, which is almost a year."

Jiang Chen thought to himself that as long as he could pass the Trial Tower, he would try his best to rank in the top ten. As for the rest, he couldn't waste any time since he had the chance.

A whole year is wasted; it's shameful.

I'm making some progress every day and every month, and the longer this goes on, the more beneficial it will be for me.

"Okay, that's settled then. I'll take it slow for now, and then push forward with all my might," Jiang Chen thought to himself.

Not only do they resemble this, but geniuses like Luo Feng, who need time to improve, also feel that they still have potential to be explored, so they naturally choose to slow down and work hard to improve themselves first.

call out!

Jiang Chen transformed into a streak of light and flew to the front of the first trial tower. The gateposts at the entrance of this huge trial tower were marked with the number "1", which was the first trial tower.

After Jiang Chen had prepared all his weapons and battle armor, he stepped into the first trial tower.

Upon entering the Trial Tower and arriving at the first floor, a quest prompt appears.

The text on Jiang Chen's screen changed to "First Tower, First Level: 1 Blood-haired Mammoths".

For each ferocious beast killed, one point is awarded. After killing all of them, one receives 10,000 points and is directly teleported to the second level. If not all of them are killed, one must survive on this level for ten days to be directly teleported to the second level.

Death ends the trial immediately.

At the edge of the screen on the arm, there is a countdown timer. Once the 10-day period is up, you will be teleported directly.

"Charge!" Jiang Chen smiled slightly, holding his spear, and began the slaughter.

He would kill 99% of his trial subjects, then begin quiet cultivation, comprehending the laws and pondering combat techniques.

When the last day is almost over, kill the remaining enemies to get the most points on the current floor and teleport to the next floor.

In the virtual universe, 1008 immortal beings sat casually in the central square, discussing the changes in the list of eliminations in the trial space. The discussion was not broadcast to the entire universe; only the changes in the list were made public.

Only the final battle in the ring will be broadcast live.

However, the immortal beings leading the teams from the various cosmic nations now have the authority to observe the trials of each participant.

"This little guy named Berlan is really amazing, he's maintained his number one ranking all along."

"Berlan is indeed far behind the others, far too far behind."

"Thirteen, Rong Jun from your Universe Kingdom is quite good too, he's rising very quickly."

"However, isn't there an even stronger Jiang Chen in your universe? Why is he ranked so low?"

All 1008 powerful immortals can easily see the leaderboard and watch the trial progress.

Now they represent their respective universes, and each hopes that the geniuses of their own universe will shine even brighter, so that they can save face.

"Rong Jun, hmm, not bad." The giant in the scale armor robe nodded slightly and directly opened Rong Jun's current trial live stream.

At this moment, the savage youth, with his bare feet and strange gait, wielded a battle knife and wantonly slashed at the three-eyed lion-like monster with wings and a furry body—the ferocious beast "Fei".

The giant in the scale armor was quite satisfied with Rong Jun. He watched Jiang Chen's trial livestream, seeing him calmly sitting cross-legged to cultivate, or sometimes standing up to practice his spear techniques in an open space.

"This—" - Little guy, he's actually using the Trial Tower as a training ground. The giant in the scale armor robe frowned as he opened Jiang Chen's live stream.

Then, he shook his head and clicked on the trial live streams of some other geniuses from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom who were ranked higher.

The first trial tower.

First floor, second floor, third floor —

They all stayed for ten days, and only when the countdown was almost over did they kill the last trial target.

Among millions of geniuses, many also try to allocate as much time as possible to the simpler initial stages to strengthen themselves.

Jiang Chen glanced at his ranking, shook his head and smiled; he was already 2851st from the bottom.

However, Jiang Chen knew his own strength, so he remained calm and composed, unmoved by what others said, and continued to do things his own way.

Sixty days later.

boom!

With a casual shot, Jiang Chen killed the last star beast, "Cang," on the sixth floor of the first trial tower.

Subsequently, Jiang Chen was transported to the seventh floor of the first trial tower.

The first level, seventh floor: Destroy the Zerg hive to gain 10,000 points, then teleport directly to the first floor of the second trial tower.

Zerg Hive: In reality, even the weakest Zerg Hive is comparable to a World Lord, and many are even comparable to Immortals. The Zerg Hives in this Trial Tower are proportionally weaker to suit the trial participants.

Recommendation: Destroy the Zerg mother hive as soon as possible. The later you do so, the more numerous and stronger the Zerg will be spawned from the mother hive.

The seventh level of space suddenly transformed into a vast desert.

In the very center of the desert, on a green field, there is a huge sphere, about sixty meters in diameter. The sphere has some uneven holes, which naturally emit some poisonous gas and even flow with some venom.

Earth, Shennongjia, one of the three great forbidden zones long ago, was the nest of the Zerg Queen.

"There's a strange feeling in me." Jiang Chen looked up at the enormous Zerg mother hive and sighed.

Just like when Luo Feng has a clone of the Golden Horned Beast, he encounters the Starry Sky Beasts and sees them suffering, he feels depressed and even exudes killing intent.

With the Zerg Queen's clone now present, Jiang Chen would naturally be affected and would not kill the Zerg Queen unless absolutely necessary.

Of course, Jiang Chen wouldn't forget that he was human, but compared to other races in the universe, he would naturally lean towards the Zerg Queen.

Just like Luo Feng, when his own life is not threatened, he will naturally lean towards the giant star beast.

"The Zerg Queen," Jiang Chen murmured.

Because of the Zerg Queen's clone, few people in the human race know much about the Zerg Queen.

The Zerg are one of the most powerful races in the universe, comparable to humans.

A single Zerg hive can spawn billions upon billions of Zerg warriors, who roam the universe relying on swarm tactics.

However, the Zerg warriors fighting were extremely unintelligent, almost devoid of intelligence, driven only by instinct, much like wild beasts.

They are absolutely obedient to the Zerg Queen.

The Zerg Queens are all highly intelligent and masters of the soul, specializing in illusions and soul attacks.

Each mother hive, even at its weakest, is comparable to a realm lord, while the strongest are comparable to immortals, or even stronger.

A single Zerg Queen can give birth to a Zerg race capable of conquering an entire vast star field.

Therefore, before he had the strength, Jiang Chen did not dare to let the Zerg Queen show herself. He kept her hidden and nurtured a Zerg at the peak of the Realm Lord level. It would take a lot of resources, but now Jiang Chen can use the Zerg Queen's clone to nurture batches of universe-level, and even a large number of Domain Lords.

Therefore, even if Jiang Chen had a slot for a soul slave, he wouldn't use it.

Simply put, they just don't like it.

At the cosmic level, the domain lord's Zerg queen avatar can spawn a large number of cosmic-level beings, enough to form an army that can cleave the sky and shake the earth.

From now on, Jiang Chen will focus more on quality rather than quantity when it comes to the number of soul slaves he appoints.

The Zerg Queen is physically weak, but possesses powerful psychic abilities, so she builds a powerful Hive, which serves as her armor.

She can give birth to countless Zerg warriors. The nest she builds can be any shape she desires. However, unless it is the last moment or there is absolutely no danger, the "delicate and gentle" Zerg Queen will not leave the nest.

Moreover, establishing a nest is very costly, so it is almost impossible for any Zerg queen to abandon her own nest to build a new one.

Because of the Zerg Queen's immense power, many of the most powerful races in the universe desire to control one.

Once a Zerg queen truly controls a nest, even if she is merely a world lord-level Zerg queen, she will still be wary of the endless swarm of Zerg.
