As the gas spread, a large number of Devourer ground troops were enveloped by it. Every Devourer caught in the gas suddenly began to burst apart. They fell to the ground, rolling and roaring…

“Looks like… it’s working!”

Seeing this, a smile tugged at the corner of Li Chenzhou's mouth. The gas was naturally the origin of the universe, which was also one of Li Chenzhou's plans. He already knew that after absorbing this cosmic origin, these Devourers would not only break through the upper limit of their level, but most importantly, they would immediately break free from the control of the Devourer Mother Empress.

Not only that, but they would also become the Mother Empress's primary target for elimination, because they could all become Mother Empresses and create another Devourer race!

He hadn't used this steel cylinder filled with compressed cosmic origin before because the Devourers were too close to the Mother Empress at that time. Li Chenzhou was worried that if he threw the steel cylinder, the Mother Empress would absorb all the cosmic origin, which would be aiding the enemy. He certainly couldn't do such a stupid thing.

Now, the ground troops were some distance away from the Mother Empress's main body in order to block the Devourers incubated by Xiao Xin and the human warriors from various worlds, so Li Chenzhou had Gray Bear throw out the steel cylinder!

After rolling around for a while, the Devourers all stood up. At this time, like Xiao Xin, they were larger and had ferocious expressions. The moment they stood up, the Mother Empress knew their status.

In the next moment, countless Devourers began to attack these newly evolved Devourers frantically. Even the warplanes in the air abandoned Gray Bear's war fortress and swooped down, pouring countless energy beams down.

The newly evolved Devourers were naturally unwilling to sit still and wait for death. They also began to attack the surrounding Devourers.

In an instant, the scene became extremely chaotic. The Mother Empress, Xiao Xin, and the newly evolved Devourers began to attack each other. Seeing this, Li Chenzhou frowned. He really wanted the Devourers belonging to Xiao Xin's side to retreat temporarily, so that the Mother Nest and the newly evolved Devourers could fight first.

But although the Devourers would obey his orders, Li Chenzhou couldn't go out now, and he couldn't control these Devourers through mental power, so he had to give up.

Let them fight, then. Anyway, because of the previous orders, these Devourers were attacking the Mother Empress's Devourers, which was equivalent to a two-on-one fight with the newly evolved Devourers, so it wasn't a loss.

Subsequently, a large number of Devourers涌 (yong) [surged] out of the Mother Empress again. These were the ones that the Mother Empress had been constantly incubating and accumulating since Li Chenzhou and the others appeared. Originally, they were intended as a contingency plan, but now, because of the appearance of the evolved Devourers, the Mother Empress no longer had any reservations.

For the Mother Empress, those evolved Devourers had to be killed, with a higher priority than Xiao Xin's Devourers. Although the Devourers controlled by Xiao Xin were also Level 10 Devourers, they had been branded with Xiao Xin's life mark and could no longer form an independent Devourer group themselves, unless Xiao Xin died.

The newly evolved ones were different. Because of the transformation of life, the life mark in their bodies was cleared. They were now in an independent state. If any of them escaped, it represented a possible Devourer group in the future.

The Devourer Mother Empress always believed that Devourers were the strongest creatures in the universe. In her eyes, only other Devourers could threaten her existence. Therefore, she had to kill all the evolved Devourers present and not let any of them escape, to avoid future troubles!!!

Seeing countless Devourers涌 (yong) [surging] out of the Mother Empress, Li Chenzhou took a deep breath. The time he had been waiting for had finally arrived…

Li Chenzhou had been staying here, waiting for an opportunity. He knew that the Mother Empress couldn't be without trump cards, so he had Gray Bear and all the warriors launch a general offensive.

Moreover, Li Chenzhou also guessed that these Devourers shouldn't be the Devourer Mother Empress's last trump card, but he couldn't wait any longer.

Reaching out and tapping a few times on the Mole, making some settings, Li Chenzhou waved his hand, and countless energy bombs appeared in the Mole. The next moment, Li Chenzhou appeared outside the Mole.

Digging through the soil with his hands, Li Chenzhou gradually went upward. Because the distance was less than ten meters, Li Chenzhou saw the outer shell of the Mother Empress after a dozen seconds.

"Shua!"

In the next moment, Li Chenzhou activated his skill—Lethal Strike. He disappeared instantly, and then he appeared inside the Mother Empress!

The inside of the Mother Empress's body was quite large and was a whole, without many separate areas. In this huge space, there were many spiderweb-like pipes, and between these pipes were round spheres of different sizes.

These spheres, the small ones, were only about two meters in diameter, and the large ones were hundreds of meters in diameter. These spheres were the Mother Empress's incubation nests. All the Devourers were hatched in these incubation nests!

These incubation nests were slightly expanding and shrinking at this time, just like hearts. Moreover, some incubation nests were constantly bursting, and the Devourers inside fell directly below, and then rushed out of the Mother Empress.

Li Chenzhou was now at the bottom of the Mother Empress's body. He looked up at this huge and strange space, and soon, he found his target.

In the very center of the space, there was indeed a huge circular crystal. This should be the Mother Empress's crystal core, and also her most fatal point!

At this time, the crystal was constantly rotating, flashing colorful colors, and a layer of gray mist was弥漫 (mi man) [permeating] around the crystal…

Seeing this scene, Li Chenzhou understood that Xiao Xin was right. This Mother Empress was indeed evolving. The gray mist around the crystal was the origin of the universe!

Seeing his target, Li Chenzhou immediately stopped hesitating and began to approach the crystal. The crystal was several kilometers away from him, and it was in the air, but fortunately, there were pipes everywhere in the Mother Empress's body, which was very convenient for Li Chenzhou to climb.

However, just as Li Chenzhou jumped onto the pipe and approached the Mother Empress's crystal core, the Mother Empress also discovered Li Chenzhou's existence. Some circular incubation nests immediately burst, and a varying number of Devourers涌 (yong) [poured] out, rushing towards Li Chenzhou.

Moreover, the pipe where Li Chenzhou was located began to vibrate up and down, seeming to甩 (shuai) [throw] Li Chenzhou off. Some incubation nests around Li Chenzhou also喷溅 (pen jian) [splashed] a股 (gu) [stream] of green liquid at Li Chenzhou.

Li Chenzhou didn't know what these liquids were, but he certainly wouldn't touch these things. He didn't even need to think about it to know that the things the Mother Empress used to spray him at this time certainly wouldn't be anything good…
