Chapter 516: Chapter 369: Insanely Devouring the Planet! _2
Of course.
The two newly refined planets, Pluto and Neptune, didn’t have much world power to begin with.
“Cultivation is like rowing against the current, if you don’t advance, you’ll retreat. I’ll go back to the real world first to refine planets, aiming to condense the World Physical Body as soon as possible!”
Xuanqing made up his mind, thinking in his heart.
Next.
Before quitting the game, he used his God Soul to check Black Wind Country again and found that with the help of the Three Emperors, this country had become even more stable.
In this way, he completely set his mind at rest.
“Quit game!”
…
…
Real world.
In the Dayan area, Qingping Holy Mountain.
Hum~
Xuanqing opened his eyes, regaining consciousness.
He stood up, his deep vision staring at the distant starry sky. As the whisk in his hand gently moved, he disappeared completely.
…..
…..
An unknown star domain.
Because there were no stars, this domain was pitch black and lonely, with temperatures regularly below 200 degrees Celsius.
A few sparse planets, relying on each other’s gravitation, were entwining each other in this dark and silent starry space.
However.
The appearance of a figure broke the tranquility of this star domain.
A young man in a Taoist robe, holding a whisk containing the power of the world, suddenly appeared in the starry sky.
This man was none other than Xuanqing, who had travelled through space from Water Blue Star.
“Four large planets, able to condense four Devouring Heaven Fruits… Very good!”
A satisfied look flashed in Xuanqing’s eyes.
He had been shuttling around for a while, and finally found four planets in this desolate star domain.
Though the universe is massive and filled with countless planets and stars, in reality, the vast majority of space in the universe is empty. Only a small portion of it contains planets.
“Devouring Heaven and Earth!”
Accompanied by a low shout.
Xuanqing’s Heavenly Eye opened on his forehead, radiating a dazzling light as if it could illuminate the entire cosmic starry sky. His body became as gigantic as a large planet.
Just the shocking size alone, if seen by other creatures, might scare them to death right away.
Next.
Xuanqing, akin to a planet-sized tree with lush branches and leaves, casually approached one of the planets where innumerable shadowy vines extended deeply into it.
From a distance.
The countless huge virtual tree roots’s tendrils, planet-sized body, along with the crown of densely packed branches and leaves, gave a semblance of a giant octopus.
“Absorb!”
Xuanqing closed his eyes, showing an expression of pleasure.
Even though most of these origin powers would eventually flow into the Swallowing Sky Tree and transform into Swallowing Sky Fruits, during this process, a small part would flow into his body, nourishing his physical body.
“Use 100 years time acceleration.”
[Beep… -1 trillion treasure coins!]
With the subtraction of the treasure coins, those huge tendrils squirmed relentlessly, enveloping the entire planet, like leaves on a fertilized crop, absorbing the planet’s origin more fiercely.
At a visible speed.
The planet’s size slowly shrinked due to its origin power being absorbed, which in turn gradually reduced the materials constituting its existence.
Soon.
The 100-year acceleration effect ended.
This time.
Xuanqing didn’t plan to purchase planet material to replenish the now smaller planet in front of him. Frankly, given how remote this star domain was from the solar system, he couldn’t care less even if the planet shrunk or if he destroyed it.
Just after a short rest.
“Absorb!” With another low shout from Xuanqing, he controlled the huge virtual roots to continually extract the original power from this planet.
“Use 100 years time acceleration.”
[Beep… -1 trillion treasure coins!]
…
Just like that.
After continuously repeating the cycle nine times, and counting the first round, a total of ten accelerations finally drained the last bit of origin power from this planet!
Compared to the beginning.
The size of the entire planet had at least halved, barely qualifying as a large planet, at most just a supersized satellite.
At the same time.
In Xuanqing’s hand, he now held a fruit. It was golden and gourd-shaped, radiating a rich world power.
Devouring Heaven Fruit!
The original power of a large planet could condense into one Devouring Heaven Fruit. Consuming it could reconstruct the body and soul, laying a solid foundation for the later Body Transformation World.
He did not choose to take it immediately, but put it in the game backpack, intending to save up more and then refine and devour it all at once.
“Retrieve!”
Xuanqing disengaged from the form of the ‘Swallowing Sky Tree’ and returned to his human appearance. Yet his gaze was directed towards the remaining three planets in this star domain.
….
Twelve days later.
With the last origin of the last planet being completely absorbed by the Swallowing Sky Tree, his game backpack had accumulated five Swallowing Sky Fruits.
This moment.
Looking at the deserted, quiet star domain.
Xuanqing felt a strong sense of familiarity in his heart, as if a fish had returned to water.
The reason for that.
It’s because… not only is the origin of the planets that have been devoured and refined being swallowed up, but the bodies of the planets will also become a part of the ‘Swallowing Sky Tree’.
In other words.
This universe with four planets has become Xuanqing’s private territory. In this territory, he can exert even greater power.
“First, I’ll go back and refine the five Swallowing Sky Fruits in my backpack, then I’ll search for the next star domain!”
Thinking so in his heart.
Xuanqing waved the whisk in his hand and disappeared from this star domain.
….
….
Returning to Qingping Holy Mountain Dojo on Water Blue Star.
Xuanqing sat cross-legged.
With a flit of his palm, a fruit shaped like a golden gourd appeared in his hand, it was the Swallowing Sky Fruit condensed by the Swallowing Sky Tree.
Gulp~
He threw his head back and swallowed it.
In an instant, the Swallowing Sky Fruit transformed into a streak of light, with the enormous world power contained within erupting out.
“Refining!”
Xuanqing didn’t dare to be careless and devoted himself to operate the Swallow Heaven Saint Art to refine the Swallowing Sky Fruit. This stuff was much more domineering than the Chaos Pill.
Moments later.
The world power of this Swallowing Sky Fruit was completely digested, transformed into a foundation… laying a solid foundation for him to enter the realm of Body Transformation World later on.
Without any hesitation.
He took out another Swallowing Sky Fruit from the game backpack and swallowed it.
….
Several days later.
“Hu~”
Xuanqing opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance shining in them.
Perhaps because he had just swallowed five Swallowing Sky Fruits, at this moment, his body emitted a strong world power.
With a thought.
“Open Character Panel!”
[Name]: Xuanqing
[Physique]: Chaos Virtue Holy Body.
[Grade]: Master of the Primordial Beginning
[Cultivation]: Swallowing Sky Tree (0.6%)
[Cultivation Method]: Swallow Heaven Saint Art
[Divine Ability]: One Dust Suppressing Heaven (Perfect), Devouring Heaven and Earth (Perfect)
[Treasure]: 41 trillion
Looking at the character panel.
On the panel, under the cultivation section, after swallowing the five Swallowing Sky Fruits in his backpack, it increased from 0.1% to 0.6%.
And from the original 810 million treasure coins, after absorbing the four planets of the unfamiliar star domain, only 41 trillion were left.
“41 trillion, can only refine and swallow 4 large planets.”
“I wonder how much incense fire the Great Yan Federation has accumulated for me during this time!”
Xuanqing murmured softly.
Devouring Neptune and Pluto took six days.
Later, he entered the game and uploaded Swallowing Sky Fruits to the Game Store, which took two years. According to the time ratio of ten to one, 72 days had passed in the real world.
Afterwards, it took several days to find the dark star domain and another twelve days to refine the four stars in that star domain.
Adding them up.
Ninety days had passed on Water Blue Star. Judging from the previous income of incense fire, some should have been accumulated by now.
Thinking so.
“Swallow Heaven Saint Art!” Xuanqing operated his Cultivation Method, stimulating the whole world inside the Swallowing Sky Tree to gather all the incense fire it controlled.
Hmmm~
The enormous power of incense instantly gathered on Qingping Mountain.
The next moment.
The God Soul emerged from the body, enveloping it.
“Recharge!”
