Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

The arrival of spaceships made Li Qi and Miyunhou subconsciously look up, and they also saw the gradually darkening sky.

"Your Highness, it's almost time." Miyunhou said, "The guests are about to arrive."

"Yes." Li Qi nodded slightly and said, "Let's go to the banquet hall."

The two walked towards the banquet hall. At this moment, the main hall of the banquet hall had been arranged to transport all kinds of exquisite and rare food and wine from all over the human territory of the universe.

"Your Highness Li Qi, this way."

Seeing the arrival of Li Qi and Mi Yuhou, Shen Yihou, who was standing on both sides of the banquet hall, shouted.

"Here we come." Li Qi smiled, walked towards Shen Yihou who was relatively close to him, and stood beside him.

Shen Yihou said: "I just received a notice that the guests attending the banquet have come in through the main entrance and will probably arrive soon."

Li Qi nodded and listened, looking far away in the direction of the main entrance. He could faintly sense powerful law fluctuations in the distance, but it was somewhat unreal because the sensing ability of the instrument used was greatly reduced.

Soon, powerful men exuding the pressure of the immortal gods appeared on the distant horizon, walking towards the banquet hall step by step, each step spanning tens to hundreds of meters.

Some of them wore simple armor, some wore noble and gorgeous robes, and some simply wore animal skins around their waists and bare their upper bodies...

In addition to their clothing, these strong men also have diverse appearances and races. There are dragon-men with scales on their bodies, ape-men with hair all over their bodies, long-eared humans with smooth skin and no hair...

Most of these powerful people are surrounded by waves of laws and waves of immortal gods, exuding unique immortal pressure, but there are also a few world masters who follow them to the banquet.

Among these many powerful men, the leader is a middle-aged man with long white hair shawl and wearing a blood-stained white armor. His appearance is similar to that of most humans in the universe. His eyes are round and the pupil color is red.

Seeing the man's arrival, Shen Yihou was quite surprised and asked, "Why is he here?"

"That's..." Looking at the white-haired man approaching gradually, Li Qi recalled his information.

King Aurora, the first general under the leadership of the Lord of Ganwu Kingdom, has an indifferent and solitary personality. He is famous for being good at the laws of light and time, and his strength is at the ultimate level of kingship.

"According to the data, King Aurora has been cultivating in secret for tens of thousands of epochs, intending to break through and become the Lord of the Universe. How come he has time to attend my banquet now?"

Li Qi was also confused. The Aurora King was the kind of extremely powerful person who was very close to the Lord of the Universe and could not be promoted to the extreme level just by relying on the matching treasure.

Later, when he saw the familiar figure beside King Aurora, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Well... King Qiqi is finally here."

The people who were walking and chatting came to the banquet hall. The leader, Aurora King, looked at Li Qi with a smile on his face and said, "Li Qi."

Li Qi nodded, "Aurora King."

King Aurora smiled and said: "By overpowering Kedi in the primitive secret realm, you have earned a lot of face for me in the Witch Universe Kingdom."

"It's just that we are ahead now." Li Qi said modestly.

"I look forward to you continuing to lead Kedi." King Aurora smiled, his voice relatively calm, and then led two of his men into the banquet hall.

"Li Qi." King Qimai came over and asked, "Did you bring the wine you mentioned last time?"

"Here." Li Qi said, taking a ring from the fluctuations of the world and sending it to King Qi Mace.

"Haha, then I'll accept it." King Qimai accepted the ring with a smile, and after chatting for a while, he led two of his men into the banquet hall.

Listening to the conversation between the two, everyone understood that the two knew each other, but how King Qi Mace, who had been working in the Witch Universe Kingdom, knew Li Qi, made everyone curious.

Marquis Shen Yi next to him was also curious, so he sent a message and asked: "Your Highness, do you know King Qimai?"

"We met before when we went on a mission to Yuanchen Universe Country." Li Qi simply replied.

"oh……"

When Shen Yihou heard this, he immediately understood that they had met during the trial mission. It was no wonder that Li Qi had the courage to sentence so many high-ranking officials of the Luojia clan to death. It turned out that there was a peak king king protecting him behind them.

Immortal powerhouses arrived one after another. Most of them came towards Li Qi, the host of the banquet, so they would chat with him for a few words when entering the banquet hall.

The names of Li Qi at this banquet were polarized. A very small number of people who were at the peak of the title of king could call Li Qi by his first name because of their strong enough status.

For ordinary people who are granted the title of King or Immortal, they all call Li Qi His Highness. This is their recognition of his natural status. Otherwise, they would call him a special envoy or call him by his first name.

The burly Duchenhou walked towards Li Qi with two of his men. He laughed loudly and said, "Your Highness Li Qi, I finally see you."

The blue-skinned man Huska, who was following Duchen Hou, looked at Li Qi who was gradually approaching him. His eyes seemed to be full of envy and admiration, but there was a strong murderous intention in his eyes.

"According to the information, the height of NO.2's body is more than 100 meters. Currently, the height of NO.2's body is only a little over two meters. It is suspected that a puppet or instrument is used."

Huskar's thoughts were running rapidly, and he analyzed based on the information he received. "Whether it is a puppet or a body, it is controlled with a trace of soul power. It is impossible to be too far away from the immortal-level body."

"So... the true identity of No. 2 should be hidden in a certain world ring." He lowered his gaze slightly and looked at the rings on Li Qi's hand. "First, we must destroy the world ring, and then kill him. NO.2 true body."

"When Your Highness passed through the eighth floor of Tongtian Bridge, I really wanted to meet with Your Highness, but I estimated at that time that it would take thousands of years to have the chance." Duchenhou smiled and said: "I didn't expect that I would be so I’ll see you soon, Your Highness.”

Li Qi also smiled and was about to answer, "I..."

laugh.

Huska, who was behind Marquis Duchen, burned rapidly with the immortal power in his body, and the immortal power containing the law of fire burst out, bombarding Li Qi at a very close range!

"What!"

"Such a strong fluctuation of divine power is caused by someone!"

"No! It's an assassination!"

Huskar's sudden explosion shocked everyone who sensed the huge fluctuations in the immortal power. With the thinking speed of the immortal god level, which was faster than the ordinary light brain, they instantly guessed who the target of the master of the immortal power was.

boom!

The immortal divine power that contains the original law of fire formed a terrifying crimson light pillar, shattering the space wherever it passed, and countless space cracks spread around like spider webs. Even the space fragments in the space mezzanine could be seen.

The crimson beam of light directly bombarded Li Qi's body at an extremely close range without anyone being able to react. The terrifying energy and high temperature melted the instrument body used by Li Qi, and even the instrument made of E1-level metal The bones were also turned into ashes by this terrifying power.

Li Qi's body was melted, and the world ring could not withstand such a terrifying bombardment. Countless items were scattered from the world due to the collapse of the ring, and some fragile items were crushed into pieces by the turbulent flow of space in the process.

Wow! The rest poured out intact, flowing inside and outside the banquet hall like a mudslide, submerging some of the fine wine and food that had been placed.

In an instant, the items scattered from the world in the ring piled up into a hill tens of meters high. Fortunately, the banquet hall was built tall and wide enough, otherwise the banquet hall could be filled with just these items.

In that hill, there was a figure that was more than 100 meters tall that stood out. Most of its body was covered with countless objects, but its head alone was several meters high, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Is this... a person?"

"His appearance, are the rumors true? His Highness Li Qi's height is much higher than that of ordinary people."

"Is this the true identity of His Highness Li Qi?!"

When some immortal experts turned their attention to the direction of Li Qi, they saw many items piled up into a hill. Naturally, they could not ignore the figure taller than the hill.

When they saw the person who was more than 100 meters tall, the eyes of the two immortal princes flickered slightly. In an instant, their bodies flashed and turned into streams of light and rushed towards the mountain-high figure at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Duchenhou was furious, "Haska!!"

Huskar's attack just now came quickly and too suddenly.

He didn't react even at a very close distance, but when he did, he immediately understood that Huskar had already been enslaved by the soul, otherwise he would not have suddenly assassinated Li Qi at this moment.

"You are seeking death!"

Duchenhou took action with anger, burning 2% of his immortal divine power with his high-level strength of the Fenghou, and instantly exploded with power that was comparable to a full-strength blow of the Fengwang's elementary level.

"It's the real body! Explode! Explode!!"

At the same time that Duchenhou took action, Huska instantly made up his mind to blow himself up when he saw the figure taller than the mountain.

But!

At this moment, a person appeared next to Huska amid violent spatial fluctuations, and his palm had been lightly printed on his red-haired head.

boom!

Incomparably terrifying power burst out, and the surrounding space was instantly dented as if it had suffered a heavy blow. However, it seemed to be under clever control. Although there were countless cracks in the space, it was still not broken.

His head was attacked, and Huskar, who endured the terrifying power, had his divine body annihilated in an instant, and the surging immortal power before his self-destruction disappeared without a trace.

Bang.

Huskar's divine body was annihilated, and the body composed of immortal divine power disappeared with the annihilation, leaving only the rings and armor.

King Qi Mace put away the items left by Haskar, "Oh, someone really dares to assassinate here."

"Um?"

King Qimai frowned slightly. He sensed two people transforming into streams from outside the banquet hall and rushing toward Li Qi. At this time, Duchen Hou's attack from the Burning Immortal Spirit struck.

"It's close! It's now! Explode for me!!"

The two feudal lords said the immortal message, and were about to self-destruct, but found that they could not control the immortal power in their bodies, and except for their thinking, they seemed to be isolated from the outside world in time, stopping all progress!

"What's going on? Why can't I control the immortal power?!"

"This is a time pause! It's King Aurora!"

The two feudal lords were shocked and angry. They were only a little bit closer to completing the assassination, just a little bit short!

As long as they can self-destruct in this position, the self-destruction power of one of them, a high-ranking lord, and a junior lord, is comparable to the full attack of a powerful high-ranking king.

Under such a close self-destruction, the surrounding space will definitely be extremely unstable. Even a strong person who can teleport will find it difficult to teleport to save people in such a turbulent space.

But the pause in time sealed everything except their thoughts, preventing them from using their immortal power to self-destruct.

Time pauses!

Among the three mysteries of the Law of the Origin of Time, it is the most difficult to understand. Once it is used, it can seal everything except the target's thoughts. As long as the opponent cannot break free from the seal of suspended time, he can only be at his mercy.

"Time pauses, it's the Aurora King who takes action!"

"As expected of the Aurora King, he is a powerful king who has realized the time pause."

"Hmm... Aren't these Marquis Haihuo and Marquis Qiuyin? How come they..."

Seeing the two immortals in the air motionless, as if frozen in time, in sharp contrast to the people around them, some immortals felt strange.

"It was an assassination. I seriously suspect that they were enslaved by alien souls."

"Just now, His Highness Li Qi was assassinated, and the two of them also rushed towards His Highness Li Qi, so they were sealed by the Aurora King."

"If they were enslaved by souls, then it is really possible that they were enslaved by souls."

"Yes, the two of them often travel together. If they encounter alien soul masters somewhere, they are indeed likely to be enslaved by souls together."

When someone said that the two were suspected of being enslaved by souls, the other immortal gods agreed, because their actions were too suspicious. They rushed towards Li Qi directly when no one else moved, which could not avoid everyone's suspicion.

Haihuo Hou is one of the immortal gods under the command of the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom, and Qiuyin Hou has a good relationship with the former and often travels together. The two were still traveling outside three hundred years ago and only recently returned to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Qijian King frowned slightly and murmured softly: "And Haihuo Hou and Qiuyin Hou, are they also enslaved by alien souls?"

Hua La!

Two black chains flew towards the two people who were sealed in the air with the sound of metal collision, like two black long snakes swimming.

At this time, the Aurora King, with long white hair and blood-stained white armor, stepped forward and said, "Whether they are enslaved by souls or not, we will first imprison them with sealing chains, and then ask the king to conduct a detailed soul exploration. Maybe we can get some useful information."

Soul exploration can only be conducted by strong people with higher realms. For example, the two powerful marquises, Haihuo Hou and Qiuyin Hou, can barely be explored by soul masters at the peak of the king level, but more detailed exploration can only be conducted by stronger universe masters.

"This is feasible." King Qijian nodded, then looked up at the two people who were imprisoned by the sealing chains in the sky, and said, "I will take them to see the king, and I will leave this to you."

As he said this, he sent the items left by Haska, together with the world ring that Li Qi had given him before, to Li Qi in the hill.

After doing all this, King Qijian took the two imprisoned marquis immortal gods and teleported away.

At this moment, Li Qicai seemed to have just woken up from a dream and said, "Banquet..."
