Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

Virtual universe, weapon refiner competition space.

Like the peak battle, teams from 1008 universes, totaling 201,600 contestants, gathered together under the leadership of the immortals from each universe.

After the immortals from each universe settled their teams, they came to Restaurant No. 1.

"Haha! Everyone, we meet again."

"I thought we would see each other again at the next genius battle, but I didn't expect to meet so soon."

"It's quite fast, it's only been more than two thousand years since the peak genius battle."

Immortals entered the restaurant one by one to say hello. They were the leaders of the recent peak battles, so they were quite familiar with each other.

"This weapon refiner competition is different from the peak battle."

An immortal said: "It is said that the contestants who will enter the core layer of the Universe Medicine Company will be decided soon."

"The speed at which the weapon refiners decide the winner is indeed faster than the peak battle."

Another immortal replied: "But there are also many weapon refiners of the same level. At that time, we need to decide who is the winner based on the speed of refining the same weapon."

Another immortal said: "Maybe I have watched too many peak battles, and I feel that this weapon refiner competition is quite interesting."

The immortals who led the team talked to each other, and talked about the situation of the Universe Medicine Company from time to time. When talking about the branches of various high-level universe countries, their words were full of envy.

Compared with the five giants that were established first, the strength of the heads of the various universe country branches of the Universe Medicine Company is obviously weaker than one level.

Because of this, they have the idea of ​​replacing them.

Who made the heads of the branches of the Universe Medicine Company mostly immortal military masters, but their treatment and power are much better than those of the confidants of the universe country masters!

If they have the opportunity to join the Universe Pharmaceutical Company, they will join without hesitation in order to gain considerable power and more resources.

But it is not easy to join the newly established giant Universe Pharmaceutical Company. It is difficult to enter without some connections!

...

On the other side.

When the immortal leader left, the contestants from the Universe Country left their respective buildings and went to the central square in twos and threes to relax.

The central square for people to relax is not only beautiful, but also has many flowers, plants and trees. The square covers a large area and can accommodate millions of people for leisure activities.

A cosmic-level player belonging to the Lanting Universe Country team sat alone on a chair in the corner of the square.

The contestant is called Alota, and his preliminary results are the first in the universe group of Lanting Universe Country.

In this vast square, he is alone and inconspicuous.

"I must get good results in this Universe Refiner Competition and enter the core layer of the Universe Refiner Pharmaceutical Company!"

Ailotta gritted his teeth secretly, "With my level of refining, I can definitely become a core member of the Lanting Branch, or even a core member of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena Headquarters!"

As a refiner, being able to get the first place in the Universe Country Preliminary on a stage like the Refiner Competition is enough to show his level of refining.

But with his current level of refining, he is only an internal member of the Lanting Branch of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, and has never been able to become a core member of the Lanting Branch.

Because there are always people who have reserved the quota for entering the core members, and some people even parachute in from other branches to obtain precious core member quotas.

He was born a native, with no background, no super high law talent, and only the universe-level talent of a refiner.

Let alone wanting to enter the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena Headquarters, just obtaining the identity of a core member of the Lanting Branch is as difficult as ascending to heaven!

"Each cosmic country has 1,000 places for the top genius battle and the strong battle, and only 1,000 people can enter the core layer of the two giants."

Ailuota said silently: "From the number of places for each cosmic country, it can be seen that the competition for the cosmic weapon refiner competition is very fierce..."

"100,800 cosmic-level contestants, only 100 can enter the core layer of the cosmic weapon medicine company!"

"If it is based on my weapon refining level three years ago, the possibility of entering the cosmic weapon medicine company is great, but there is no guarantee that I can enter 100%."

"Fortunately, my weapon refining level has made a breakthrough in the past three years. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely be able to enter the core layer of the cosmic weapon medicine company."

"As long as I can enter the core layer of the cosmic weapon medicine company, I will completely get out of the Lanting branch of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena..."

Finally, Ailuota's eyes showed a firm look, "The abyss that can never be climbed out!"

As a cosmic-level, he is 70,000 years old, and has been a member of the Lanting branch for a full 40,000 years.

He doesn't think that he has a chance to enter the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena in the remaining 30,000 years.

There is no chance for the cosmic level, and even less chance for becoming a domain master in the future!

It can be said that his upper limit will be locked in the Lanting branch, and it will be difficult for him to go to the headquarters of the Giant Axe Fighting Field.

He was very unwilling to accept this!

The emergence of the Universe Refiner Competition gave him the opportunity to change his fate. As long as he seized this opportunity, he could change his fate!

Moreover, the Refiner Competition held by the Universe Pharmaceutical Company really made him happy.

The importance that this force attaches to the refiners is something he cannot experience in the Giant Axe Fighting Field!

...

In the evening.

When the stars in the sky gradually fell.

A magnificent and majestic voice sounded in the minds of the refiners in the entire space, including the immortal leader.

"Refiners of the 1008 Universe Country, gather in the center of the square."

As the voice fell.

Whether it was the cosmic level, domain master or realm master refiner, their bodies moved involuntarily.

They flew from their respective buildings, restaurants, squares, or the sky, and landed in the middle of the empty square.

The immortals who led the team arrived at the center of the square first and looked at the weapon refiners who seemed to have no control over their bodies with interest.

When the 201,600 weapon refiners lined up according to the universe country, the space in the sky was distorted, as if a whirlpool was constantly spinning.

boom!

The tyrannical pressure of divine power descended, as if it could crush everyone present, causing the hearts of all the weapon refiners to tremble.

The next moment.

A figure appeared in the center of the space vortex, and his penetrating gaze fell on the weapon refiners below.

"The weapon refiners from Universe 1008."

Then, a slightly gentle voice sounded, "Welcome to participate in the Cosmic Weapon Refiner Competition organized by our Cosmic Weapon Medicine Company."

When they heard this voice, the weapon refiners felt the pressure suddenly decrease, and the pressure that was so tyrannical that it seemed like it could crush them dissipated.

The weapon refiners raised their heads and looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw a man wearing a black battle suit, as if he was in a different space, looking down at them with a smile.

When this man in black appeared, the weapon refiners saw that the immortal leaders of 1008 Universe Nation all bowed their heads to show respect.

This made them speculate that this man in black was... a powerful person at the level of the king of the universe!

All the weapon refiners couldn't help but bow their heads and showed respect to this powerful person at the level of the king of the universe.

And this man in black is none other than Venerable Beiji, who is responsible for presiding over this year's weapon refiner competition.

"1008 Universe Nation, each Universe Nation selects 100 Universe Level, 50 Territory Lords, and 50 Realm Lords, a total of 201,600 people."

Venerable Beiji looked down at the weapon refiners and continued: "Our Universe Medicine Company will only recruit 100 universe-level, 50 domain masters, and 50 world masters from among you."

"The weapon refiners are competing on the level of weapon refinement, so the rules of the competition... are very simple!"

"The universe level starts by refining second-level weapons, the domain master starts by refining third-level weapons, and the realm master starts by refining fourth-level weapons."

"Every round, the refining difficulty will increase until the number of weapon refiners who successfully refine weapons is less than the quota, and then the outstanding ones will be selected from among the weapon refiners who passed the previous round of assessment to make up the amount."

Venerable Beiji paused and continued: "In other words, in the first stage of the competition, 100 universe-level, 50 domain masters, and 50 world masters who will enter our cosmic medicine company will be determined." "The rest... Eliminate them all!”

After the words fell, Venerable Beijiang disappeared in the whirlpool of space.

When the weapon refiners heard this, they were shocked!

The Weapon Refiner Competition has reached the finals, but the rules are still so simple and straightforward, which is beyond their expectations.

This means that 200,000 weapon refiners will be eliminated in the first stage!

…

Afterwards, all the weapon refiners, led by the immortals of each universe country, returned to their respective buildings to rest.

The 183 Building where Lanting Universe Kingdom is located.

Immortal led the team and took everyone to the first floor of the building. He looked at the 200 weapon refiners in front of him and said, "Don't be surprised."

"Space Drug Company is a powerful force equivalent to the five giants. The core members they want to recruit must be geniuses and elites."

"You are the elites of our Lanting Universe Country. Even if you do not enter the core level of the Universe Drug Company, you will be absorbed by the Lanlei Secret Realm and the branches of the six giants."

"Whether you enter the Lanting Secret Realm or the branches of the six giants, you all have the hope of becoming an immortal god."

Finally, the team leader Immortal said: "Everyone, take a good rest and adjust your condition, and strive to achieve a good result tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Immortal leader asked everyone to disperse.

Elota left with the others, with the same nervousness on her face as the others.

However, he secretly thought in his heart: "We must enter the core level of the Universe Drug Company. Only in this way can we escape from the Lanting branch of the Giant Ax Battle Arena."

Although his participation in the Weapon Refiner Competition was approved by the Lanting branch, it was because it didn't take him to heart at all.

But when he got the first place in the Universe Kingdom preliminaries, the minister who agreed for him to participate in the weapon refiner competition was severely criticized.

If he had not been able to enter the Universe Drug Company, he would not have had the opportunity to join Lan Ting Secret Realm or other giants like others.

He can only return to the Lanting branch of the Giant Ax Fighting Field...that place that looks like an abyss!

…

Early the next morning.

"All weapon refiners, please be prepared. A collective teleportation will be carried out to transport all weapon refiners to the virtual weapon refinement room."

A pleasant female voice sounded, and the sound echoed throughout the entire plane space.

All the weapon refiners in Building 1008 got up early and were waiting in the lobby on the first floor for the game to start.

"Alota, good luck to you."

"You are the most promising weapon refiner among the cosmic-level masters of our Lanting Cosmic Kingdom to enter the top 100 in the universe."

"Alota, we must enter the core level of the Space Drug Company."

Some universe-level refining masters gave blessings and encouragement to Airota before collectively teleporting into the virtual refining room.

suddenly--

The refining masters in the lobby on the first floor of the building all disappeared into a white light and were transported to their respective virtual refining rooms.

Not only the weapon refiners in the lobby on the first floor of the building, but also the weapon refiners in other buildings were teleported away, while the immortal leaders in the space and the restaurant service staff were not affected.

…

Virtual refining room.

Airota saw that there were various refining equipment and even a customizable virtual refining room, so he summoned a light curtain to make adjustments.

Having experience in the qualifiers, he placed the refining equipment in a familiar position and then waited patiently for the start of the competition.

soon.

A light curtain popped up in front of Airota, with words clearly written on it in universal characters...

[The finals of the Universe Weapon Refiner Competition have begun. Please choose one of the following three weapons as the weapon required for this round. The countdown is 10, 9...]

Airota took a look and saw that the three weapons on the light screen had all been refined, so she chose one at random.

With his level of weapon refining, he can easily refine second-level ordinary weapons, and whichever one he chooses will not affect his performance.

Moreover, each round of the competition will give double the materials for refining weapons. In addition, the refining time is not short, which means there are two refining opportunities.

As long as you refine a selected weapon within the specified time, you will pass the round of assessment.

The countdown is over.

When two materials appeared in the open space next to her, Alotta quickly started the furnace, then put in the materials to start smelting...

With two-thirds of the time limit left, he had finished carving the secret patterns and was conducting the final tempering of the sword-shaped weapon.

"It's done."

Airota held the hilt of the sword with one hand and looked at the complex and beautiful secret patterns on the sword with a faint smile on her face.

He likes to refine weapons very much.

Whenever he successfully refines a weapon or armor, he will feel a sense of accomplishment and feel extremely satisfied.

Uh-huh!

A light curtain popped up with brief text on it.

[The Buzzing Sword is qualified and this round of assessment is passed]

When Elota saw the light curtain appearing, she put the long sword aside with her telekinesis and sat down cross-legged to rest.

Refining weapons consumes physical and mental energy.

The Cosmic Weapon Refiner Competition is an uninterrupted competition. As soon as the time is up, the next round of competition will begin immediately.

Although in the virtual weapon refining room, physical and mental strength will be restored to a perfect state at the beginning of a new round, mental strength is difficult to recover and needs to be adjusted by the weapon refiner.

…

Time passed and one year passed in the blink of an eye.

The Weapon Refiner Competition begins and ends one round after another.

As the level of the refining weapon increases, the refining time will also increase significantly.

For these weapon refiners, who are not as powerful as the World Master, the most time-consuming thing in refining high-level weapons is to carefully carve the secret patterns of the laws.

Elota was sitting in the corner of the central square, with more than a hundred people sitting scattered around, all looking up at the scene in the sky of hundreds of realm masters refining weapons.

The look on his face was very relaxed, because he had entered the core level of the Universe Drug Company and would leave the Lanting branch of the Giant Ax Battle Arena. Now he was just waiting for the unknown second phase of the competition to begin.

A few more days passed.

Hundreds of Realm Lords were teleported to the central square. More than thirty of them looked excited, while the rest showed a little bit of frustration.

Uh-huh!

Seeing that the remaining world master weapon refiners were teleported out, the Immortal leaders of each universe country stood up almost at the same time and asked all participating weapon refiners to assemble.

Not long after.

All the weapon refiners gathered together, and the one who had been confirmed to have entered the core level of the Universe Medicine Company stood alone, waiting quietly for the arrival of the black-clad Universe King-level powerhouse.

boom!

A twisted space vortex appeared in the sky, and Lord Beiji descended with tyrannical divine power, looking down at all the participating weapon refiners.

In the end, his eyes fell on the weapon refiners who were confirmed to join the Universe Medicine Company. They were 79 universe level, 31 domain lord, and 36 world lord level.

"Congratulations, you have confirmed that you have entered the core level of our cosmic drug company."

Venerable Beijiang said, and turned his eyes to the weapon refiners, "The weapon refiners eliminated in the last round, you will participate in the final assessment of the first stage tomorrow. This will be your last chance..." (End of chapter)
