Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

In the side hall.

"Junior brother, why did you come to me this time?"

Venerable Duobao, who is extremely famous in the Human Hongmeng and is considered by many powerful men in the Hongmeng to be no worse than the top cosmic overlords, is looking at the gray-haired middle-aged man opposite him with a smile.

"Hey, I came to see Senior Brother this time because I want to accept a little guy as a disciple, and I want to ask Senior Brother to leave me a place in a special armor."

Thunder King smiled and took out a bottle of wine stored in the virtual universe, took out two wine glasses, poured the wine into it, and then sent a glass of wine to his senior brother.

Obviously he looks older, but facing the younger senior brother, he looks like a child.

"Finally planning to accept a disciple?"

Venerable Duobao took the wine glass unceremoniously and said with a smile, "It's a little early for you to reserve a place for refining armor before I'm considered a disciple."

Thunder King chuckled and took a sip of the wine in his glass. "It's better to make a reservation earlier. Senior brother, you are too busy. I'm afraid I won't be able to get in line."

"Yes." Venerable Duobao couldn't help but nodded.

Special armor has now become the standard equipment for human super geniuses.

Due to the particularity of gene binding, it is extremely difficult to refine the special armor. Looking at the entire human race, only he and his teacher Lord Konghe can refine it.

Master Konghe, the teacher, is the greatest existence in mankind second only to the founder of the giant axe. Since he can refine special armor, he has almost never refined special armor.

The Lord of the Human Universe and the Lords of the Universe would naturally not ask his teacher, the Lord of Konghe, to refine it just because of such an 'ordinary treasure'.

Therefore, the task of refining the special armor fell on the famous Venerable Duobao of the Hongmen League of Humanity.

This is a perfect fit. When Li Qi accepted Venerable Duobao as his disciple, he had the idea of ​​​​finding a tool man to work.

"Why do you think so highly of that guy?" Venerable Duobao asked curiously.

"That little guy just broke through the star level and realized a hint of the law of thunder and lightning. His talent is higher than that of me in the past." Thunder King replied.

"That's not necessarily true. We have just entered the stellar level."

Venerable Duobao shook his head, "Junior brother, you have finally made it to the World Lord Level Creation Peerless Peak, and you are one of the pinnacle geniuses in human history."

"I just broke through the World Lord-level Creation Peerless Peak and barely reached that standard."

Thunder King sighed lightly, "Whether it is our Universe Drug Company or the other five major forces, among the peak geniuses who can reach that standard, how many of them have not fallen like me?"

"You're still young, don't be so anxious."

Venerable Duobao smiled and said, "I have also stayed in immortality for a long time. How can I break through and become the Venerable Universe?"

"Eldest brother, you are different."

Thunder King shook his head and said, "You are a famous treasure refining master among us humans, and your status is no worse than that of the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace."

"That is now." Venerable Duobao reminded.

"As soon as I became a teacher, senior brother, you have such a status, how could I know what you were like before..." Thunder King couldn't help but complain.

"When I was still the teacher's registered disciple, I could refine all types of pseudo-heavy treasures and was a famous treasure refiner in Hongmeng."

Venerable Duobao held the wine glass and recalled the past, "At that time, many Universe Venerables from the Hongmeng came to me to refine treasures and make friends with me on an equal footing. This made me almost lose myself in the compliments.

"Fortunately, the teacher woke me up and pointed out the mistakes I made when refining the treasure. This is the key to my ability to become the teacher's direct disciple."

"My personal disciple." Thunder King sighed with envy.

"Oh, if you put some effort into refining the treasure, you may not be much worse than when I was immortal. Maybe you can also refine a heavy treasure and become the teacher's personal disciple."

Venerable Duobao chuckled, feeling helpless for his junior brother who obviously had a good talent for refining treasures, but only had a third degree of enthusiasm for refining treasures.

"Refining treasures takes too much energy, and refining treasures for a long time is too tiring."

Thunder King shook his head and asked, "Senior Brother, how long has it been since you practiced meditation properly?"

"It's been a long time."

Venerable Duobao was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "Since the Snake Dance Alliance was merged into our Hong Alliance, I haven't been able to practice quietly in peace for a long time."

The Snake Dance Alliance was once a powerful alliance in the original universe.

Except for the absence of a fifth-level universe master, in terms of the overall strength of the alliance, the Snake Dance Alliance even surpasses the Eastern Alliance, which is at the bottom of the twelve top forces.

Although when the Snake Dance Alliance was merged into the Hongmeng, about 80% of the ethnic groups chose to join, which more than doubled the number of Hongmeng's cosmic lords, reaching an astonishing 150,000 today!

With the merger of the Snake Dance Alliance, the number of universe masters in the Human Hong Alliance has also increased by 8, reaching 70!

In terms of the number of universe masters, Hongmeng is second only to the Northern Xinjiang Alliance among the nine superpowers in the universe.

This is just quantity. When it comes to the quality of Hongmeng Universe Master, Northern Xinjiang Alliance is far inferior!

The sudden increase in the number of Universe Lords has also greatly increased Hongmeng's demand for treasures and important treasures.

Especially the new Universe Venerables who have joined the Hongmeng. They used to be members of the powerful Snake Dance Alliance, and their treasure configurations are not as good as those of the veteran Universe Venerables of the Hongmeng.

I learned that Venerable Duobao is good at refining treasures and can refine ordinary weapons and armor-like treasures. Some of the Universe Venerables in some families want to refine treasures.

Because compared to the expensive craftsman star to refine, it is much cheaper to ask Venerable Duobao to refine it.

Only now has the demand for refining treasures at Venerable Duobao been reduced. Ordinary heavy treasure weapons and armor-type heavy treasures have also been refined by two disciples.

In addition, with the merger of Snake Dance Alliance, the industry of Space Drug Company has ushered in rapid development.

There were already many ordinary and weak ethnic groups in the Hongmeng before, and the Snake Dance Alliance brought more ordinary and weak ethnic groups than the Hongmeng itself.

Because not only the Lord of the Universe needs treasures, but the weak aliens below the Immortal King level also need treasures and medicines such as weapons and armor.

Every time Hongmeng has a quota for refining pseudo-heavy treasures and a gene-enhancing potion (used below 3 times the gene, it can increase the gene by 1 times) for auction, it will cause many immortal kings and even the lords of the universe to compete.

This made the name of the Human Space Drug Company spread more widely in the primitive universe.

It should be noted that in the past, when major forces in the universe mentioned the Universe Drug Company, it was often because of the founder of the powerful universe—the Lord of Konghe!

…

"Let's not talk about this anymore. How about you at the Qianwu Branch?"

Venerable Duobao sighed and shook his head, not wanting to mention the treasure refining situation after the Snake Dance Alliance was merged.

"It's okay, the teacher's family is relatively peaceful." Thunder King nodded.

Venerable Duobao chuckled, "Oh, it seems that he has become more honest after being taught a lesson by my junior uncle."

Thunder King didn't answer. He didn't know much about these things. After all, his rise was too short.

I only know that Venerable Guangyao, my junior uncle, killed many people in the Qianwu branch, including several immortal gods. Later, King Bai Lei and him took charge of the Qianwu branch.

"By the way, Ye Ling will be the host of the Peak Genius Competition held by our Universe Drug Company in four years' time."

Venerable Duobao smiled and looked at Thunder King, "If you had followed me to learn treasure refining, maybe you would have broken through and become the Venerable Universe like Ye Ling."

"Yeling? Senior brother, are you saying that your second disciple, King Yeling, has made a breakthrough and become the Lord of the Universe?"

Thunder King was stunned for a moment, and asked in a daze, "When was the breakthrough made?" "Thousands of years ago." Venerable Duobao replied.

"Why don't I know this news?" Thunder King asked.

"Not many people know about Ye Ling's breakthrough. The Peak Genius Battle was his first public appearance after becoming a Venerable."

Venerable Duobao smiled and said, "As for why Ye Ling didn't tell you, you have to ask him yourself this question."

"This kid!" Thunder King felt a little itchy.

He has a good relationship with King Yeling, or Venerable Yeling, and they once studied treasure refining skills with Venerable Duobao.

Of course, Venerable Ye Ling has been practicing longer than him, after all, he is the second disciple of Venerable Duobao.

As for why Thunder King had itchy teeth, the main reason was that when he was learning to refine treasures, Venerable Ye Ling was teaching him more.

Venerable Ye Ling often complained that refining treasures was too tiring and too painful, which made Thunder King, who had only three points of enthusiasm, run away after he was able to refine his own weapons.

"Junior brother, let's make a deal?"

King Duobao looked at the little junior brother in front of him, and an idea came to his mind.

In addition to his disciple Venerable Ye Ling, he also wanted to find a tool maker who could refine high-grade heavy treasures and top-grade heavy treasures.

"What deal?" Thunder King asked curiously.

Venerable Duobao smiled and said: "I will lend you the contribution points and let you redeem a Thunder Time Beast God inheritance order. After the original star is opened, you can learn the Millennium Era weapon refining from me, how about it?"

"don't want!"

Thunder King shook his head repeatedly, "If I wanted to redeem the Beast God inheritance order, I would have asked my senior sister for help."

"How could you think that Junior Sister would help you?"

Venerable Duobao shook his head and said, "You failed the teacher's test to become a direct disciple, but my junior sister complained to me for a long time."

"Is this happening?" Thunder King couldn't help but be stunned.

"You were recommended to the teacher by my junior sister, and you let my junior sister down." Venerable Duobao replied.

Thunder King lowered his head in silence, then raised his head after a moment and said, "Elder brother, I agree to the deal you mentioned."

"Have you thought about it?" Venerable Duobao asked.

"Think about it!"

Thunder King nodded heavily, "I want to break through and become the Master of the Universe before the Primordial Star opens this time, and become the teacher's personal disciple!"

In the past, when he broke through the World Lord-level Creation Peerless Peak, his teacher promised that as long as he became the Universe Venerable before the Primordial Star was opened, he could be promoted to a direct disciple.

At first, he didn't know how long it would be until the original star was activated, but later he learned that the teacher had given him enough time.

If he cannot become the Master of the Universe for such a long time, then the possibility of becoming the Master of the Universe in the future is slim.

He has also worked hard, fighting against monsters, insects, and strong men from the mechanical camp in extraterrestrial battlefields, traveling to many secret realms of the universe, escaping from the hands of alien cosmic lords, and earning the title of the invincible 'Thunder King' .

But even so, he still couldn't integrate the three mysteries into one, understand the complete origin law of time, and take the final step.

He thought that what he lacked was the accumulation of time, but now it is still the same after countless years.

Even his nephew King Ye Ling, who was far inferior to him in cultivation talent at the beginning and was even somewhat cynical, has now surpassed the Master of the Universe.

Of course, he also knows that the understanding of the law is like this. He clearly knows how to take the road ahead. Once he understands, he will break through and take a step further. If he does not understand, he will stay where he is.

His senior sister treated him well. When he went to the battlefield outside the territory to hone his skills, he relied on the soul treasures given by his senior sister to save his life many times.

Otherwise, he will be like the incomparably talented third senior brother, who will be permanently destroyed by the soul attack of the powerful three tribes on the battlefield outside the territory.

Now his senior brother told him that he had disappointed his senior sister by not becoming his teacher's direct disciple, which once again aroused his desire to fight.

He wants to go to the Ancestral God Sect, to accept the inheritance of the Beast God, to break the last shackles of becoming the Lord of the Universe!

"Junior brother, I will lend you three treasure points."

Venerable Duobao looked at the Thunder King with fighting spirit in his eyes and said with satisfaction, "You can apply to redeem the Thunder Time Beast God inheritance order."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Thunder King saluted respectfully.

"When the original star opens, just remember to learn how to refine treasures."

Venerable Duobao smiled and said, "With your treasure refining talent, you might be able to refine soul treasures soon, and you can share some treasure refining tasks with us."

When Thunder King heard this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

He knew that the tribe was in urgent need of treasures to protect their souls, especially those super geniuses.

Without him, the demon race, the insect race, and the machine race already know that human super geniuses possess special heavy treasure armors (usually heavy treasure armors, only Li Qi will give them treasure armors).

Human super geniuses with special heavy treasure armor can often increase their strength by more than ten times, and they also have extremely strong physical defense capabilities.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is not easy for the Immortal King to kill a human genius who is protected by a special heavy treasure armor.

This makes it so that in places like foreign battlefields, if the three tribes want to kill human super geniuses, they usually use soul attacks.

The one-time soul attack heavy treasures and treasures of the Artisan God are selling like hotcakes, and the monsters, bugs and machines are the biggest buyers!

The three tribes not only assassinate human geniuses on battlefields outside the territory, but also assassinate human geniuses in various secret places in the universe.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the most elite area of ​​the primitive universe, the era of human dominance began.

Every rising human super genius is honed through assassinations. After becoming immortal, he is often directly crowned king.

A very few, such as Boya's eldest disciple Zhan Po Zhan, broke through and became the Universe Master less than a million years after becoming immortal.

In terms of age, Master Zhan Po is much younger than Master Nine Swords from Virtual Universe Company!

Among the assassinations of the three clans, there are also many geniuses who have fallen permanently. This is why mankind is in urgent need of guarding soul treasures.

…

After King Thunder returned to consciousness from his senior brother, Venerable Duobao, he was in no hurry to leave for the Chaos City of the Initial Universe to exchange for the inheritance order of the Thunder Time Beast God.

He planned to give some guidance to the little guy he was optimistic about before the peak genius battle ended. After passing the assessment and becoming a registered disciple, it would not be too late to accept the inheritance of the Beast God.

In this way, time passed little by little.

Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and it’s time to promote the peak talent battle list.

In the Ganwu Continent in the virtual universe, Luo Feng, who was on the rooftop of the villa in Hongye Community on Qingmu Island, looked at the dazzling announcement in the sky, with a look of anticipation on his face... (End of this chapter)
