Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

"Why did Kodi lose again!"

"It's understandable to lose to Li Qi. It's a strategic decision to give up a battle, but what's wrong with losing to Wu Xuewen?!"

"Even if he can't use his full strength, he can still defeat Wu Xuewen with 50% to 60% of his strength, but it's incomprehensible if he loses!"

The two consecutive defeats in the reincarnation battle within the original secret realm have puzzled countless high-level powerhouses who are optimistic about Kedi. They know that they need to be vigilant at all times in the world of training missions, but they will not be unable to exert half of their strength.

Doubts and incomprehensible emotions filled their hearts.

Of course, not everyone speculates and wonders whether Kedi encountered danger in the world of training missions, so that he could not distract himself from participating in the reincarnation battle.

They are worried about the upcoming qualification battle for the Primordial Secret Realm. If Kedi is still unable to distract himself from participating in the qualification battle and falls into the Primordial Secret Realm, then they will be laughed at by the high-level powerhouses who support Li Qi!

…

"Why did Kedi fall into the qualification competition?! And not Wu Xuewen?!"

"With Kedi here, there is no hope of entering the original secret realm in this battle for the secret realm."

"Kedi, who broke through the tenth floor of Tongtian Bridge, is really a desperate opponent!"

The battle for the secret realm of the Taichu Secret Realm is coming to an end. When the news of Kedi's two consecutive defeats came, a group of law-enlightened members on the eighth floor of Tongtian Bridge, who thought they had a chance to break into the original secret realm, fell silent!

A big shark swam into their fish pond, a big shark that could eat all the fish!

And the name of this big shark is - Kedi!

Kedi is recognized as the number one among the geniuses of this year's Virtual Universe Company. Even with Li Qi, a genius who also emerged from a million epochs, he still firmly occupies the number one spot!

Because in the eyes of many people, Li Qi is the pursuer and challenger, while Keti is the leader!

…

In the public area of ​​Yuxiangshan, inside a private room of a restaurant.

"Kedi." Li Qi asked, holding the wine glass: "Did you encounter any danger before? Your state in the qualification battle was really bad."

"Yes!" Manle asked, "How could you lose to Li Qi?"

Li Qi glanced at Man Le and asked, "Is there any problem with losing to me?"

"There's no problem." Manle chuckled, "I just feel that the tenth floor of Tongtianqiao lost to the ninth floor, which is a bit inappropriate."

Hearing this, Li Qi was too lazy to talk to Manle and turned his attention to Kedi.

"I'm still on a desperate mission." Kedi drank a glass of wine and said, "I was in a critical period before, and my consciousness in the virtual universe was only 10%."

"Did only 10% of consciousness remain during the critical period?" Li Qi listened and thought to himself, "Did you discover some secret during the desperate mission?"

For example, he has gained something in the Blood World or in the Purgatory Abyss, especially in the former, where the gains are huge, while in the latter, the gains are much smaller.

He guessed that the opportunities in the abyss of purgatory should be at the most dangerous bottom, and what he got was just a small opportunity.

"10%?!" Manle's eyes widened and he felt very incredible, "You used only 10% of your consciousness to fight with Wu Xuewen who passed through the ninth floor of Tongtian Bridge?!"

"To be precise, we lost." Kedi corrected.

Manle sighed: "It doesn't make much difference."

"Manle." Li Qi asked: "Are you sure you can stay in the secret realm of Taichu?"

"There is no hope." Manle shook his head helplessly, "I checked the information of the top thirty people in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm who participated in the competition for qualifications for the Taichu Secret Realm. The weakest among them has a level of law understanding at the fifth level of Tongtianqiao."

"And I'm only confident of getting through the fifth floor of Tongtian Bridge. This level of strength is at the bottom among them. Besides, forty-seven people are vying for ten spots in the Taichu Secret Realm. The chance seems not small, but the competition is fierce!"

Man Le drank a glass of wine and continued: "There are eight members of our peak genius competition in the Taichu Secret Realm. The strongest one has passed through the fifth floor of Tongtian Bridge, 'Fei', but 'Fei' is not sure either. Stay in the secret realm of Taichu.”

The genius of Li Qi's current generation, 'Fei' is known as the number one illusionist in recent genius battles. He was once considered to be the second most talented person in this competition's peak genius battle. His growth rate has not lived up to this name. The rules Enlightenment has reached the fifth floor of Tongtian Bridge.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you Li Qi." Manle raised his glass to Li Qi, "If it weren't for your help, my understanding of the law would not be as good as it is now."

"Thank me?" Li Qi was a little surprised, "Why?"

"Fine wine and clouds of smoke." Man Le reminded: "I have gone to the Xueluo Continent, well... the effect of that thing is very obvious."

"Oh." Li Qi suddenly nodded, and then asked: "How many?"

Manle didn't answer, just raised two fingers.

"It's not even close." Li Qi nodded, and then hinted: "We have to keep working hard."

"Understood." Manle nodded.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Kedi nodded thoughtfully and wrote down the name "Xueluo Continent".

"That's right." Li Qi turned to Kedi and said, "I have left ten jars of this fine wine and smoke for you. When you return to the original secret realm, I will have someone deliver it to you. You can also have someone come over to pick it up."

Kedi's current condition is obviously much better, and he is estimated to have passed the so-called critical period. Not to mention that only 10% of his consciousness can fight Wu Xuewen inextricably. Li Qi naturally does not think that he will fall into the secret realm of Taichu.

"Okay." Kedi nodded, "When I win the qualification battle, I will have someone pick it up from you."

The three continued chatting, and after drinking a pot of wine worth 3.9 points, they parted ways. Because Manle had to prepare for the upcoming Taichu Secret Realm Qualification Competition, they didn't chat for long.

…

Original Secret Realm, Purgatory Abyss, in the mural cave.

Li Qi consciously exited the virtual universe, he stood up and stretched, moving his body that had not moved much for decades.

"It's time to leave." Looking up at the mural above again, he shook his head and said, "There will be no gain from further comprehension."

The space law contained in the mural above his head is essentially mysterious, and he has almost comprehended it, so there is naturally no need to stay here.

"This place will continue to be left to those who are destined to help the human race produce more geniuses and strong people."

Li Qi said, walking outside along the passage, intending to take out the spaceship and return to the fortress that suppresses the Purgatory Abyss after leaving here.

…

Swoosh!

An E9-class spaceship flew at a speed close to the speed of light, with several dark red streams chasing behind, each of which exuded the breath of a realm master.

"Damn aliens!"

A world master-level purgatory beast roared and chased, but facing the E-class spaceship that was close to the speed of light, it could only watch the spaceship getting farther and farther away from it.

"It's infinitely close to the speed of light. Let alone you world masters, even if the immortal gods come, they can't catch up with this E9-class spaceship."

In the control room of the spaceship.     Li Qi sat on a chair, drinking a glass of fine wine, and calmly watched the world master-level purgatory beasts join the pursuit team.

According to the rules of the original universe, all objects that exceed the speed of light will enter the dark universe, and only the dark universe can exceed the speed of light.

So in theory, without considering other means, even the master of the universe cannot catch up with the spaceship close to the speed of light in the original universe.

...

After a period of flight, Li Qi drove the spaceship out of the purgatory abyss and flew towards the fortress that suppressed the purgatory abyss.

"Your Highness Li Qi."

A spaceship flew out of the fortress and came to meet and guide, "Please operate the spaceship and follow me."

Under the guidance of the spaceship, Li Qi entered the huge fortress that suppressed the Purgatory Abyss, and saw a realm master who had been waiting for a long time at the spaceship's berth.

"Your Highness Li Qi." The realm master bowed slightly and said, "King Yeming wants to see you."

"King Yeming." Li Qi felt a little confused, "I have seen him once when I came here, why do you want to see me again?"

Under the guidance of the realm master, Li Qi came to the main hall in the core of the fortress again and met King Yeming wearing a dark golden battle suit.

"Junior brother." After the realm master left, King Yeming smiled on his furry bear face, "You did a good job this time. Although Ke Di's state is a little bit wrong, if you win the first time, you can win the second time in the future."

Hearing this, Li Qi understood that King Yeming was looking for him because he defeated Ke Di in the reincarnation battle inside the original secret realm.

"I didn't prepare anything when you came." King Ye Ming said again: "Now I'm going to give you two gifts."

"Gifts?! First the Lord of the Sky Eclipse Palace, then King Ye Ming."

Hearing this, Li Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's good to have a background and talent. From time to time, strong people will give you some small gifts."

"These two gifts are in this world ring."

King Ye Ming took out a world ring and threw it gently. The next moment the ring was in Li Qi's hand.

Looking at the world ring that appeared in his hand instantly, Li Qi secretly said: "One of the three mysteries of the origin of space is 'space teleportation'."

"You can take a look." King Ye Ming said: "After you see it, I will tell you why I want to give you these two gifts."

Hearing this, Li Qi used his mental power to imprint the ownerless world ring, and a glance of his consciousness could clearly detect the gifts in the world ring.

It was two clearly divided parts of metal, placed at the two ends of the continent in the world ring, and one part of the metal was not much, only a dozen tons.

The other part has a lot of metal, with hundreds or thousands of types, and the weight ranges from several kilograms to several tons.

"Did you see the less metal?" Ye Ming Wang said: "That is F-grade metal. Now you can buy or use standard weapons, but in the future you will need to create your own secret methods and weapons, and this is used to make weapons for you."

"Making weapons is a science, and it takes a lot of time to practice. These 17 tons of F-grade metal should be enough to make your sixth-level weapon."

Li Qi nodded lightly. Making your own weapons is something that many strong people need to face, and homemade weapons are the most suitable for themselves.

"The metals on the other side, except for a small part of F-grade and E-grade metals, are mostly D-grade and C-grade metals." Ye Ming Wang said: "These metals are nothing special individually, but according to the formula, they are combined into top-level F-grade alloys. The paper inside is the formula."

"Top-level F-grade alloy?!" Li Qi looked carefully and found a piece of paper with densely packed universal characters in the universe.

"Yes, top-grade F alloy." Ye Ming Wang explained: "Among the countless races in the original universe, only the mechanical race among the alien races has a G-grade alloy formula, and the top-grade F alloy formula owned by our human race has some performance that is not inferior to G-grade metal."

Li Qi asked: "Such an important formula, is it inappropriate for Senior Brother to give it to me?"

"There is nothing inappropriate about it." Ye Ming Wang smiled with his furry bear face, "The top-grade F alloy formula I gave you, even if the alien race gets it, they can't make it, because they still lack an important auxiliary material!"

"Important auxiliary material?" Li Qi was puzzled.

"An important auxiliary material that only our human race has." King Ye Ming looked at the Purgatory Abyss, "That is the Purgatory Core!"

Li Qi was slightly surprised, "The Purgatory Core is an important auxiliary material for the top F-class alloy."

King Ye Ming smiled and said, "The top F-class alloy has been developed for countless years. Many technological products of our human race use this alloy, and the formula has long been obtained by aliens."

"But those aliens cannot make top F alloys because they don't have this Purgatory Abyss and Purgatory Beasts."

"You should have hunted down a domain master-level Purgatory Beast, right?" King Ye Ming asked.

"There are two." Li Qi replied.

"Two?" King Ye Ming was a little surprised and continued, "I only prepared materials for one Domain Lord-level Purgatory Beast for you. You need to buy the rest of the materials yourself."

"In addition, the Domain Lord-level Purgatory Core needs to be refined before it can be used to synthesize the top F-level alloy, and the refining method is on the formula."

"Brother." Li Qi couldn't help asking, "It's so difficult to hunt Domain Lord-level Purgatory Beasts, why is there a requirement to obtain a thousand tons of Purgatory Cores?"

"That was a task a long time ago." King Ye Ming said with a strange look, "Besides, you don't think that Purgatory Cores are only available to Purgatory Beasts, right?"

When Li Qi heard this, he thought of the bottom of the Purgatory Abyss that he had never been to, and suddenly woke up.

The task prompt of the Purgatory Abyss says that only Purgatory Beasts above the Domain Lord level can produce Purgatory Cores, but it doesn't say that Purgatory Cores only appear on Purgatory Beasts above the Domain Lord level.

"By the way, you can't tell others about what we talked about today." Ye Ming Wang emphasized, "Especially tell other core members about the mission content of the Purgatory Abyss."

"Understood." Li Qi nodded, "Please rest assured, senior brother, I won't tell others."

The Virtual Universe Company has required that people who have completed the cultivation mission cannot reveal the content of the cultivation mission to others, especially the desperate mission.

Behind every desperate mission, there are huge opportunities and secrets hidden, and leakage is strictly prohibited.

Just from the regulations that you cannot exit once you enter the desperate mission interface and must accept a mission, you can know how strict it is.

"I will arrange someone to send you back to the original secret realm." Ye Ming Wang said, "Next time I see you, I hope you can defeat Ke Di who is doing his best to prove that we didn't make a mistake."

Afterwards, a realm master came to pick up Li Qi and sent him back to the original secret realm in a few hours.

After Li Qi returned to the original secret realm for a short rest, he was ready to go to the tenth floor of the sky bridge...
