Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

Xuan Neodymium Secret Realm, the Wailing Star.

This is a planet with a diameter of 0.7 light-years. Its surface is shrouded in light red mist, making it difficult to see the planet's surface environment.

On the surface of the Wailing Star, there are countless canyons and fissures that tear the planet apart. Light red smoke rises from each canyon, eventually forming a mist that covers the entire planet.

Whoosh!

Li Qi took the Anchi spacecraft and broke through the mist on the surface of the Wailing Star. Before he landed on the dark red rock soil, he seemed to hear the faint sound of crying and mourning.

Woo...

The sound of crying and mourning came and went, and the closer it got to the ground, the more coherent and clear it became.

The Anchi spacecraft landed on the ground, and Li Qi flew out of the hatch and put the spacecraft into the world ring.

"The screams on the surface of the Wailing Star are very small. It is initially estimated that the cosmic level can ignore the screams."

He listened carefully, then shook his head slightly and said, "It's just that the sound is a bit noisy..."

Indeed, the wail of the Wailing Star is very noisy, and as long as you are on this planet, you will inevitably be affected. After all, it is a sound that goes straight to the soul, and it cannot be blocked by shielding perception.

"The screams on the surface are too weak, so we have to go into the canyon. The deeper the canyon, the stronger the screams."

Li Qi looked at the entrance of a canyon in the distance, "Let's start from this canyon."

Whoosh!

As the space rippled, Li Qi instantly appeared above the canyon, and a stronger scream seemed to reach his ears, but in fact it reached straight to his soul.

"The screams are obviously much stronger, and it almost takes the Territory Lord to resist them."

He listened and made a judgment, then his body fell downwards, "It's not enough, we have to continue deeper into the canyon."

Whoosh!

Li Qi was not flying fast downward, flying deep into the canyon at a speed of one kilometer per second. Until he reached the bottom of the canyon, which was tens of thousands of kilometers deep, he still felt that the screams were not strong enough.

"The depth of this canyon is limited. The screams can probably affect ordinary world owners, but they will not have any effect on training the will of the immortal gods."

As he spoke, he followed the ripples of space and appeared above the canyon, overlooking the surrounding dark red land. "We have to find a deeper canyon."

"The environment of the Wailing Star is special, and the detector has been seriously interfered with. The detection radius of the large detector is only 100,000 kilometers."

Li Qi connected his consciousness to the detector and discovered that the large-scale detector with a maximum detection radius of one billion kilometers has now reduced its detection range to one ten thousandth.

"Although the detection range is much smaller, it can still be used. It is much more efficient than looking with the naked eye."

He checked the detection results of the detector and found that none of the surrounding canyons within 100,000 kilometers were deep, and the deepest canyon was only 50,000 kilometers deep.

Seeing this, Li Qi flew close to the ground, constantly exploring the depth of the surrounding canyons.

Flying all the way, it was not until a few minutes later that he found a canyon whose bottom the detector could not detect.

"This canyon is good, with a depth of more than 100,000 kilometers. It should have the effect of sharpening one's will."

Looking down at the bottomless canyon below, Li Qi dived downwards.

Flying all the way down, his detector was always on, and he detected that several alien immortals were cultivating more than 100,000 kilometers away in this canyon, presumably to sharpen their will.

Whoosh!

Flying all the way down, Li Qi could feel the screams reaching his soul, getting stronger and stronger.

From being mildly unaffected at first, it gradually made him feel irritated.

call!

After 150,000 kilometers deep into the canyon, Li Qi stopped, looked at the endless dark red rock wall below, and thought to himself: "The screams have already had a certain impact, so let's go here first."

Through the detector, he found that there was no one living within dozens of kilometers around him, so he dug a cave in the rock wall and entered it for meditation.

Sitting quietly in the cave, Li Qi could clearly hear the screams that continued to reach his soul, making his irritability linger in his heart and never dissipate.

It wasn't until he was studying the secret patterns of the fusion law and practicing the secret soul technique "Twisted Eyes" for several years, and gradually became accustomed to the continuous mournful sound, that the irritability in his heart dissipated.

After Li Qi adapted to the screams of 150,000 kilometers, he gradually moved deeper into the canyon, 180,000 kilometers, 200,000 kilometers...

Every time he moved his residence, he had to adapt for one or more years until he moved his residence to the bottom of the canyon, a hundred years later.

…

The bottom of the canyon.

When Li Qi arrived at the bottom of the canyon to build a cave, an immortal king who also had a cave at the bottom of the canyon slowly opened his eyes.

This immortal king looks like a turtle, with earthy brown skin. There is no thick turtle shell on his back, replaced by a rock-like carapace.

"This canyon is 470,000 kilometers deep. Anyone who can reach the bottom of this canyon has a soul will that is at least the level of a king. It seems that this newcomer is an immortal king."

The Immortal King frowned and said softly: "The detector can't detect him, which means that the other party's detector is higher than mine. If it weren't for my talent to sense ground vibrations, otherwise I wouldn't be able to detect him at all."

"You have to be prepared to prevent him from breaking the rules here..."

Although he was talking to himself, the immortal voice of the king did not spread very far, and was silent only half a meter away.

…

When Li Qi arrived at the bottom of the canyon, he detected many immortal kings through the detector. These immortal kings were quietly cultivating at the bottom of the canyon, obviously sharpening their will.

The screams at the bottom of the canyon were very strong. Even though his soul and will were comparable to the immortal soul of the King, he was still slightly affected and felt a trace of sadness in his heart.

"Interesting, are all the immortal kings here so kind?"

After building the cave residence, he whispered to himself: "Or are they all sharpening their wills and have no intention of taking action here."

Although he felt a little strange, he did not have the intention of taking action. His purpose of coming here was to sharpen his will, not to hunt aliens and become immortal kings.

In this way, Li Qi practiced and sharpened his will at the bottom of the canyon, and several years passed in a flash.

At this time, he had practiced the soul secret method "Twisted Eye" worth 990,000 points to perfection, which had a higher improvement in soul attack defense.

"To practice "Twisted Eye" to perfection, you have to change to another soul secret method to practice, preferably the soul secret method worth hundreds of millions of points."

Li Qi's consciousness entered the virtual universe and searched for soul defense secret books in the treasure house of the virtual universe company.

"Ten Thousand Souls", "Soul Evil Secret Method"...

Scanning through the soul secret methods worth hundreds of millions, it didn't take long for him to find a soul secret method that suits him.

"Twisted Illusionary Eyes", the full volume redemption price is 80 billion points. (70% off for the Original Secret Realm, 80% off for the Taichu Secret Realm, 90% off for the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and full price for the End of the World Secret Realm, you can enjoy a 40% discount)

The redemption price for the first volume is 8 million points...

The redemption price for the first two volumes is 80 million points...

The redemption price for the first three volumes is 800 million points...

The redemption price for the first four volumes is 8 billion points...    The redemption price for the full volume is 80 billion points...

"Twisted Illusionary Eyes..."

Li Qi read the details of this secret method and said with some surprise: "This secret method is actually an advanced secret method of "Twisted Eyes", and it is also a soul secret method that includes attack, defense and enslavement."

"If I had discovered this secret method earlier, I would not have redeemed the first volume of "Moon Shadow Illusionary Heart Secret Method"."

At the beginning, he redeemed the first volume of "Moon Shadow Illusionary Heart Secret Method" and spent 210,000 points.

Now that he has this soul secret method that is in the same vein as the "Twisted Eye", he no longer needs to exchange for other soul defense, attack, or even slavery secret methods.

"Huh? Practicing the "Twisted Illusion Eye" still requires great pain!"

Li Qi couldn't help but frowned when he saw the end, "Does the strong man who created the "Twisted Eye" and the "Twisted Illusion Eye" like to torture himself so much?"

Although practicing the "Twisted Illusion Eye" requires pain, he who has practiced the "Twisted Eye" to perfection will not give up this soul secret method that combines attack, defense, and slavery.

After all, he has endured so much pain in practicing the "Twisted Eye" to perfection, and if he switches to practicing other soul secret methods, the pain he endured before will mean that it was in vain.

"The wailing sound when practicing in the Howling Star is far less painful than practicing the soul secret method."

With a 40% discount, he spent 480 million points to buy the first three volumes of "Twisted Illusion Eye".

The next moment, three metal books more than 50 centimeters high were transported to the study.

Looking at the three metal books with "Twisted Illusionary Eyes" engraved on the cover, Li Qi comforted himself: "Practicing this secret method is like sharpening your will..."

Then, he opened the first volume of "Twisted Illusionary Eyes" and read it. After reading the first volume, his consciousness returned to reality to practice.

…

In the cave at the bottom of the Howling Star Canyon, there was a wailing sound that reached Li Qi's soul, intending to affect his will.

As he began to practice according to the soul secret method "Twisted Illusionary Eyes", the wailing sound had almost no effect on him, and was replaced by the pain of soul distortion.

In his sea of ​​consciousness, there were four twisted eyes composed of countless black lines, like nesting dolls, each rotating in the opposite direction of the adjacent twisted eyes.

As the four twisted eyes rotated, the countless black lines changed and began to connect and transform. The four twisted eyes were gradually merging...

Li Qi practiced "Twisted Illusion Eye" in the cave. His soul was in great pain. His muscles were trembling slightly and sweat dripped.

Because he had the Baisha Fighting Spirit Armor to protect him and the Youlong Jingzhe Gun to enhance his body's strength, he had the capital to practice the secret method in this relatively dangerous place while turning on the micro-detector shield.

...

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was several years later.

Li Qi had already practiced the first volume of the soul secret method "Twisted Illusion Eye". The soul form in the sea of ​​consciousness had changed from four twisted eyes like nesting dolls to a dark pupil that seemed to be able to tear apart other people's souls.

As he practiced "Twisted Illusion Eye", the impact of the wailing at the bottom of the canyon on him had weakened a lot, and he only felt a little irritated.

"If I continue to cultivate for a few more months, the wailing of this canyon will not affect me."

Li Qi sat cross-legged in the cave and whispered to himself: "When I can ignore the wailing, I can change to a deeper canyon."

So, he cultivated for more than a month, until...

Boom!

Suddenly, the canyon made a roaring sound, and the dark red rocks on the rock walls on both sides of the canyon fell in the roar and vibration.

Pah...

Boom...

Pieces of dark red rocks fell from both sides of the canyon, and finally fell to the bottom of the valley, which was more than 400,000 kilometers deep.

As a result, the gravel and soil at the bottom of the valley accumulated a lot in a few seconds, and more rocks and soil continued to fall from above.

"What's going on?"

Seeing the cave wall shaking violently, Li Qi was surprised. He had never encountered such a situation in the hundreds of years of cultivation in this canyon.

Because he didn't know much about the situation of the Howling Star, Li Qi turned on the detector and used it to detect whether the many immortal kings of alien races who were cultivating at the bottom of the valley knew about the situation.

"What's going on? Why is the canyon shaking?"

"I have been cultivating here for tens of thousands of years, but this is the first time I have encountered such a thing. What happened?"

"Is there a battle between strong men? It shouldn't be. King Li Yan strictly forbids strong men to fight in this canyon. How dare anyone violate the rules set by him?"

"What happened? Go out and see..."

Through the detector, Li Qi heard the mumblings of many immortal kings and found that they didn't know what happened either.

However, with this exploration, he understood that the reason why this canyon is so 'peaceful' is that a strong man set the rules and prohibited fighting in the canyon.

"King Li Yan?"

Li Qi whispered to himself, searching in the virtual universe, and soon got the information about this strong man.

After finding out the information about the King of Li Yan, he whispered to himself: "A rock-like life, a member of the powerful Rock Armor Clan, and a king-level strongman, no wonder he can make many king-level immortals follow the rules he set."

"Although we have figured out why there are no strong men fighting in this canyon, why is the canyon shaking?"

Li Qi was still a little curious, "And the vibration is not small, it seems that even the entire Howling Star is shaking."

"Well... go out and take a look."

As he said, he flashed out of the cave, and then teleported directly away from the bottom of the canyon.

Buzz!

As the space rippled, Li Qi appeared above the canyon, and the situation in the air at this moment made him suddenly realize, "It turns out that the entire Howling Star is shaking."

At this moment, there were strong men of different shapes floating in the sky, all of them looking down or looking into the distance, as if they were all trying to find out why the Howling Star was shaking.

Whoosh!

At this moment, five streams of light flew from afar, all at extremely fast speeds.

A stream of light fled in front, and four streams of light followed closely behind. At the same time, space fluctuations appeared from afar.

Two immortal kings with powerful auras appeared in the air with the space ripples and stopped the fleeing stream of light.

Seeing two immortal kings intercepting in front, the four streams of light chasing closely hurriedly sent a message: "King Zhu Yi, give us the Soul Shock Stone, and we can spare your life!"

After the words fell, countless strong men in the air were shocked... (End of this chapter)
