Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

Buzz!

The power of the invisible world pressed down, turning the surrounding space into a world of flames.

"Boundary Lord!"

The moment he felt the restraint of the world projection, Li Qi instantly understood that he had encountered a realm lord-level purgatory beast.

"I had just killed two Territory Lord-level purgatory beasts when I was ambushed by a Realm Lord-level purgatory beast."

Li Qi thought: "Obviously, there are realm master-level purgatory beasts patrolling the Purgatory Abyss!"

Thinking of this, he recalled in his mind what King Ye Ming had said, ‘There is a Realm Lord in the Purgatory Abyss! ’

"It turns out that what King Ye Ming said was to remind me to be careful of the realm lord-level purgatory beasts!"

Li Qi woke up, but it was too late now, because he had already met the realm lord level purgatory beast.

He was very careful, and would investigate for a few days before making a move, but he was still ambushed by a realm lord-level purgatory beast.

There was some thought in his mind, but Li Qi was not slow at all. He directly took out the E9-class spaceship and the No. 2 Branch of the Chaoyu Ancient Tree from the world ring.

boom!

The hundred-meter-high No. 2 branch tree shook slightly, and an invisible and incomprehensible power of law appeared. Light green light spread out around it as the center.

Chao Yu Cage!

As Branch Tree No. 2 casts the Chao Yu Cage, the restraint of the world projection of the World Lord-level purgatory beast disappears, and Li Qi ducks into the E-class spacecraft.

"My World Projection Suppression!" The rumbling sound sounded, and the words were full of shock, "How did you break free?"

The power of the world fluctuated in a flash, and the hundred-meter-high No. 2 branch tree was included in the world ring. Without the suppression of the Chaoyu cage, the world of flames projected by the world once again suppressed this space.

At the same time, a "chi" sound sounded, and the hatch of the spacecraft closed.

Whoosh!

The spaceship that had already started a long time ago accelerated and broke away from the suppression and restraint of the flame world, turning into a stream of light and flying towards the distance.

The E9-class spacecraft that Li Qi was riding was the top-notch spacecraft of its class among the human race. It instantly accelerated far beyond the average spacecraft of the same class, and it was easy to break away from the world projection of ordinary world lords.

After Li Qi escaped in the E-class spaceship, the world lord-level purgatory beast seemed to realize and roared angrily, "Alien! Don't even think about escaping!"

boom!

The realm lord-level purgatory beast's prone limbs jumped up with force. Under the powerful force, the continent also trembled, and the rolling stones and smoke billowed out!

The next moment, its huge body, which was more than a hundred meters high, turned into a dark red stream of light and chased in the direction of the spacecraft's escape.

However, that purgatory beast is just a very ordinary world master, and its understanding of laws is not as high as Li Qi's, and the target it is chasing is the top E9-class spaceship, and its acceleration is so exaggerated that it can reach the speed of light in a few seconds!

Not long after the World Lord-level purgatory beast chased it out, no trace of the spaceship was found again. It was obvious that it had lost track of it!

"Alien!" After losing the target, the world lord-level purgatory beast roared wildly, "Damn alien!"

…

Near the bottom of the Purgatory Abyss, there is a floating and moving continent.

Whoosh!

A stream of light flew over and landed directly in a mountain canyon.

The power of the world fluctuated, and Li Qi put the E9-class spaceship into the world ring. Then he used his telekinesis weapon to open a path and dived directly into a small hill.

boom!

Two dark red figures swept across the continent and continued to fly forward at high speed!

Hiding in the hills, Li Qi secretly thought: "What is going on in this Purgatory Abyss? How can there be so many world lord-level purgatory beasts?"

Since he was ambushed by a realm lord-level purgatory beast before when he was hunting the realm lord-level purgatory beasts, the realm lord-level purgatory beasts in the purgatory abyss have become much more active, and the number of realm lord-level purgatory beasts patrolling has also increased a lot.

This allowed him to be chased by at most several World Lord-level purgatory beasts at the same time. Fortunately, the speed of the E9-class spaceship was fast enough and was not comparable to the flying speed of those purgatory beasts.

"We only killed two Domain Lord-level purgatory beasts and we attracted the Domain Lord-level Purgatory beasts. It seems that hunting down the Domain Lord-level purgatory beasts to obtain a thousand tons of purgatory cores is no longer possible."

Li Qi shook his head slightly, "It's better to complete the survival mission honestly. After surviving for three years, I can get 250,000 points, which is enough for me to redeem the fourth volume of "The True Explanation of the Sacred Tree"."

"Just stay in this dark cave for three years." He sat cross-legged and observed the surrounding environment, his expression changed slightly, "No, this doesn't seem to be a naturally formed cave."

Li Qi stood up. In order to prevent his hidden position from being exposed, he did not even use his mental power to scan the surroundings. Instead, he observed the surrounding scene with his naked eyes.

Although it was pitch black in the cave, with his cosmic-level vision that could see things in the darkness, it was no different from broad daylight.

"It's really not a naturally formed cave."

The cave was very large. He took a brief walk around and found several artificial passages several meters high that connected to other places.

"There are secrets hidden in the world of cultivation. If you can peek into it and find out the secrets, it will be a big improvement for the cultivators."

Li Qi secretly said: "This is also the reason why the five giants cultivate geniuses and let them go to the training world to experience. For this reason, they also limit the number of applications for training tasks."

"Am I lucky this time to find the secret of this abyss of purgatory?" With this thought in mind, he began to explore the cave.

…

Moving along a passage, Li Qi found several small caves like rooms with beds-like things inside.

At the same time, he also found some gravel inside, which was obviously different from the rock material in this area. Considering that the natives of the Purgatory Abyss were rock-like life, he suspected that the gravel was the remains of rock-like life.

As he went deeper into the cave, he explored more and more small caves similar to rooms, and he became more and more certain of his guess that the gravel was the remains of the natives!

Li Qi was a little confused, "Although it can be roughly determined that the gravel is the remains of the natives, the amount of these remains seems to be a little less, and it doesn't look like the remains left by the Purgatory Beast."

The Realm Lord-level Purgatory Beast is hundreds of meters tall, the Domain Lord-level Purgatory Beast is also tens of meters tall, and he has also seen the Universe-level Purgatory Beast once, which is more than ten meters tall.

This is height!

Not body length!

It should be noted that the shape of the Purgatory Beast is like a shortened version of a lizard, but their body length is still two or three times their height, and their size is not small.

According to his calculations, a star-level hell beast is at least three or four meters tall and can reach seven or eight meters in length. A small cave cannot accommodate such a body.

While exploring the cave, Li Qi guessed in his heart: "From the current cave information, there used to be human-like aborigines living here, but they were extinct for some reason."

...

One day later.

After a day of exploration, Li Qi had explored 99% of this cave, leaving only the largest cave in the center.     Even though he had explored almost the entire cave group, he did not gain anything, but only found some abstract texts and murals.

"Now there is only this cave left, I hope I can gain something."

Thinking so, Li Qi entered the last cave.

This is a wide cave, the largest cave in this cave group. It seems to be the center of this cave, with several passages connecting it.

Li Qi looked around, and in addition to seeing many rubbles of aborigine remains, he saw murals painted on the walls of the cave.

"These murals?!"

Looking at the nearest mural, there is an object painted on it, with countless red lines extending from the object, and he doesn't know whether it is light or something else.

Looking at the murals one by one, after reading all the murals, he already knows what is painted on these murals. This is the aborigines' record of the beginning, process and end of the catastrophe.

The source of the catastrophe comes from a luminous object, which comes from the sky and is worshiped and revered as a sacred object by the aborigines.

Later, conflicts and internal fighting occurred among the aborigines. After one side was defeated, it chose to destroy the sacred object, which caused the planet to be torn apart and the environment to change dramatically.

Because the strong among the aborigines either died in battle or died in the explosion when the sacred object was destroyed, the Purgatory Beasts that were more adaptable to the environment rose, and the aborigines perished under the double blow of the environment and the Purgatory Beasts.

Li Qi sighed and shook his head, "Nothing."

Although he knew the whole story of the extinction of the original inhabitants of the Purgatory Abyss, it didn't mean much to him. There were too many tribes that had perished since the birth of the original universe. The extinction of a weak tribe was insignificant.

"Forget it, I'll practice here for three years. Then..." Li Qi muttered to himself, and suddenly raised his head and was stunned, "What is this?!"

There are four murals on the top of the cave. These four murals seem to be similar. They are all small people drawn with countless simple lines, either lying or kneeling to worship the object in the center.

And the object in the center is a two-dimensional plane. Even if five faces are drawn, Li Qi can't recognize what it is. He can only guess that it may be a crystal.

What made Li Qi stunned was the mural with five faces, which seemed to be a crystal, because he saw a little manifestation of the essence of the law of space from it!

"What on earth is this?! Is it a sacred object of the aboriginals?!"

"Is this the secret of the Purgatory Abyss?!" He was a little surprised, "The essence of the space law can be seen on this mural!"

Seeing the little people on the mural worshipping, Li Qi was somewhat certain, but he couldn't help but sighed: "This sacred object contains the essence of the space law, but it was destroyed because of a group of aboriginal civil wars. It's really a waste of heaven!"

Shaking his head and sitting down, he looked up at the mural above and began to comprehend it seriously.

Because the No. 1 branch of the Guyu Ancient Tree was planted in the original secret realm, it was constantly comprehending the origin of the space law, and Li Qi had accumulated some confusion about the space law.

"So that's it..."

When he comprehended the mural, some confusions about the space law were answered, and the mural contained some essence of the space law, which made him further analyze the essence.

At the same time, he separated a trace of consciousness, practiced the secret method in the virtual universe, and often practiced claws and body skills.

...

In this way, more than 50 years have passed.

Li Qi has also been cultivating in the cave in the purgatory abyss for more than 50 years. Even after completing the task of surviving for three years, he did not return to the original secret realm.

In these 50 years, because the murals contain some essence of the space law, and with the guidance of the seventh brother who is the space master, his understanding of the origin of the space law has made great progress.

At this time, he has the confidence to break through the tenth level of Tongtian Bridge, but he does not plan to break through now, but wait until the upcoming secret realm battle is over.

The secret realm battle for the universe-level core members of the Virtual Universe Company is once a hundred years, and for the core members, every secret realm battle is very important.

Because if you lose, you will fall into a lower level secret realm, and the resources you can get will be greatly reduced, and the discount for exchanging secret magic treasures will also be reduced!

If you win, you can stay in the existing secret realm unchanged, and you will have the opportunity to impact the higher-level secret realm. If you enter, you can get more resources!

…

Virtual universe, Yuxiangshan primitive area.

Three primitive secret realm elders sat in a triangular shape, with three cups of wine on the central table.

Wu Xuewen, who was beautiful, dressed in a white battle suit, with small dragon horns on her head and pale white scales on her face, asked in a deep voice: "Have you decided?"

The gorilla-like ape-man Klia shook his head helplessly and said: "This is the only way."

"There are only three places in the universe level of the primitive secret realm." Ural, a four-armed man on the side, said: "If we don't break through to the domain master level, the two of us will be eliminated to the Taichu secret realm."

Among the five people in the universe level of the primitive secret realm, the one with the strongest law perception is Ke Di, who broke through the tenth level of Tongtian Bridge in Chaos City. Although he has not been to Tongtian Bridge for nearly a hundred years, his law perception will definitely go further with his talent.

Following closely behind were Li Qi and Wu Xuewen, who had passed the ninth level of Tongtian Bridge, and finally the two of them who had passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge.

"You and Li Qi have both passed the ninth level of Tongtian Bridge, and it has been decades since you passed it." The ape man Krya sighed and said, "We are not sure we can beat you."

"Since we are not sure." The four-armed man Ural said, "Then we might as well break through to the domain master level. Even if we are eliminated to the Taichu secret realm in the next secret realm battle, we can stay in the original secret realm for hundreds of years."

The ape man Krya said, "After becoming a domain master, you will serve as an inspector and become a frontier official of a high-level universe country. You can also get huge points by completing tasks issued by the virtual universe company."

The four-armed man Ural continued, "With points, we can exchange for better secret methods and improve our understanding of the laws better and faster."

Hearing this, Wu Xuewen nodded gently. She could also understand the two people's thoughts. They could stay in the best original secret realm, so how could they be willing to be eliminated in the Taichu secret realm.

Breaking through to become a domain master and continuing to stay in the original secret realm is also a good choice. As for the battle for the domain master level hundreds of years later, we can only take it one step at a time and wait and see.

Wu Xuewen raised the wine glass, "I wish you a smooth journey to the outside world after breaking through to become a domain master."

Klia and Ural raised their glasses and said, "I also wish you to defeat your opponents in this secret realm battle and stay in the original secret realm."

After drinking this glass of wine, the three people who have been friends for hundreds of years will part ways. Two of them will break through to become domain masters, and one will stay in the original secret realm to wait for the upcoming secret realm battle!
