Devouring Stars, becoming Luo Feng's golden finger

"Bai, what's the secret method to control the Nine Cauldrons and what materials are needed to activate the 'Sealed Space' of the Nine Cauldrons?"

"Wait a moment."

Bai Chen casually brushed off Luo Feng and continued with his unfinished business.

In his inner world, Bai Chen couldn't help but sink into contemplation. "What I currently have on hand are the Shuttle of Escape, the Arc Blade Disc, and the control methods for some second and third-tier psychic weapons, which are really not of high grade... Moreover, there's no control method for high-grade psychic weapons in the data inherited from Yunmo Star."

Although Yunmo Star didn't leave behind control methods for high-grade psychic weapons, there was no shortage of knowledge about psychic weapon secret patterns related to them.

You should know that the secret methods used by spiritualists to control psychic weapons are essentially used to control the secret patterns on the psychic weapons, thereby increasing the power of spiritual power and the application of laws. Therefore, these secret patterns are the most important.

Different secret patterns correspond to different control methods. But at this moment, the surface of the Nine Cauldrons is smooth and without any secret patterns, a blank canvas.

This is why Bai Chen has been unable to figure out the control method. After all, without the secret patterns, how can he create a matching control method?

Previously, Bai Chen had been racking his brains, pondering what kind of secret pattern would best suit the Nine Cauldrons.

A cauldron often symbolizes absolute power, suppression, and sealing...

Bai Chen consumed his own energy, with sparks of wisdom constantly colliding in his mind, knowledge intermingling, and desperately deducing the secret pattern that he ideally thought would be the most suitable for the Nine Cauldrons.

Before long, a dark golden secret pattern gradually took shape in his mind.

[Nameless Secret Pattern]

Introduction: Created by fusing the Domain of Gold, spiritual power, the properties of space metal, the bloodline of Devour...

Ability 1: Activate the Sealed Space

Ability 2: Devour metal and nurture a metal space inside the Sealed Space. After activating the secret pattern, you can release the power of the metal space to defend against enemies, which can crush everything with overwhelming force, and suppress and seal enemies.

The most critical core of this "Nameless Secret Pattern" lies in "Devouring."

And the source of this "Devouring" concept is that Bai Chen analyzed and fused the genes of many races with devouring and digestion talents on the Planet Qiulong.

"The concept of devouring is still too weak at the moment, after all, it only originates from some ordinary races. It would be perfect if I could analyze the devouring talent of the Golden Horned Beast..." This thought flashed through Bai Chen's mind.

The Golden Horned Beast is born with three innate secret methods: the cultivation secret method "Devour", the combat secret method "Enhance", and the life-saving secret method "Clone". If he could analyze the devouring talent secret method of the Golden Horned Beast, the upper limit of the "Nameless Secret Pattern" created by Bai Chen would definitely be extremely high.

"According to the timeline of the original work, in less than four months, the Golden Horned Beast egg will descend on Earth. It won't be too late to strengthen the secret pattern then, let's leave it like this for now..." Bai Chen thought to himself.

Afterward, he named this nameless secret pattern - "Golden Devouring Secret Pattern."

With the secret pattern completed, the next step is to create the secret method to control the Nine Cauldrons. Relatively speaking, this step is much simpler. Just refer to the "Golden Devouring Secret Pattern" and concoct the most suitable control method.

...

"It's done, you can study it yourself first."

Outside, in the battle room.

Luo Feng, who had been patiently waiting for Bai Chen to create the secret method, felt a stir in his heart when he heard Bai Chen's voice. In an instant, a massive amount of knowledge flooded into his mind like a tide.

At the same time, the nine bronze cauldrons disappeared out of thin air, and then reappeared steadily in Luo Feng's palm. He stared intently, only to see a ring-shaped mysterious dark golden secret pattern on the body of each of the nine small cauldrons.

[Secret Method - Nine Cauldrons Suppressing World Art]

Introduction: This psychic weapon control secret method is divided into three levels.

First Level: "Cauldron Suppresses Mountains and Rivers"

Second Level: "Cauldron Locks Heaven and Earth"

Third Level: "Cauldron Transforms into a World"

Each level is further divided into three small layers, for a total of nine levels of mastery.

——

"This first level, 'Cauldron Suppresses Mountains and Rivers', focuses on the display of basic power and range control. Once the first layer is successfully cultivated, the Nine Cauldrons can be instantly enlarged to a hundred zhang in size, entangling the Domain of Gold and the majestic power of the Nine Cauldrons, suppressing and killing enemies...

If the second layer is cultivated, it can be enlarged to a thousand zhang in size...

If the third layer is completed, it can be transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang giant."

After Luo Feng digested the information about the "Nine Cauldrons Suppressing World Art" in his mind, joy was evident on his face.

It's truly extremely violent!

This first level, "Cauldron Suppresses Mountains and Rivers", uses the Domain of Gold to link the power of the Nine Cauldrons, purely crushing the enemy with violence!

Moreover, the deeper the understanding of the Domain of Gold, the more terrifying the power of the Nine Cauldrons that can be controlled!

"However, before that, I have to let the Nine Cauldrons devour enough metal to create a metal space within the secret pattern space," Luo Feng thought to himself.

As for the second level "Cauldron Locks Heaven and Earth" and the third level "Cauldron Transforms into a World", they involve the interactive application of the Law of Gold and the Law of Space, and at least both source laws must be mastered... With Luo Feng's current attainments, he is still far from it, and it is impossible to cultivate them in the short term.

You should know that it is only after the Ninefold Domain that the threshold of the source law is touched. Although it is not necessary to reach the Ninefold Domain to comprehend the true law... Just like the Golden Horned Beast, after entering the Universe level, it automatically comprehends the Domain of Gold, and then quickly comprehends a trace of the source law of gold, without having to wait until the Domain of Gold reaches the Ninefold Domain.

Generally speaking, the deeper the understanding of the domain, the clearer the perception of the law, and the greater the chance of successfully comprehending the source law.

"But... why can't I view the contents of the second and third levels?" Luo Feng wondered in his heart.

Bai Chen only gave him the details of the first level of "Nine Cauldrons Suppressing World Art"... Luo Feng was full of suspicion, and even felt that this "Nine Cauldrons Suppressing World Art" was incomplete at all, with only the first level intact, and the second and third levels were blank.

In the inner world, Bai Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Luo Feng's inner voice.

Is he such an unreliable person?

The second and third levels have clearly been created!

It's just slightly incomplete and not yet complete... cough cough, after all, although Yunmo Star has space secret methods and the Law of Gold secret methods, there is not a single secret method involving the fusion and application of the Law of Space and the Law of Gold.

If Bai Chen wants to force it without creative material, he will inevitably have to consume a massive amount of energy.

"Anyway, the first level 'Cauldron Suppresses Mountains and Rivers' has three small levels of mastery, and it will take a lot of time for Little Luo to successfully cultivate them all... The matter of perfecting the second and third levels must be done gradually, and there is no use in being anxious," Bai Chen thought lazily.

There are still seven and a half years before the Genius Battle, so there is plenty of time. Moreover, even if he is anxious, without energy and materials, he is also a clever woman who cannot cook without rice.

...

"Let's try the power of the 'Nine Dragons War Chariot'."

In the battle room, Luo Feng instructed "Jin San" to purchase metal, and stayed alone, preparing to test the third ability of the Nine Cauldrons.

"Condense!"

With a thought in Luo Feng's mind, his spiritual power poured into the nine bronze cauldrons like a torrent. In an instant, the nine bronze cauldrons rotated rapidly in a circle, slowly approaching and merging with each other, transforming into a bronze war chariot more than ten meters long and several meters wide.

"Where are the nine golden dragons?" Luo Feng widened his eyes and stared intently, but after looking for a long time, he didn't even see the shadow of the nine golden dragons, not even the traces of nine mud snakes.

Without golden dragons pulling the chariot, how can this bronze war chariot take off? Could it be that he has to use his spiritual power to pull it by force? ... How fast can this operation be?

Full of doubts, Luo Feng quickly searched for the detailed description of the Nine Cauldrons, and finally found four fly-headed characters in the lower right corner - [View Details].

He lightly clicked [View Details], and a line of text popped up instantly.

{The golden dragons pulling the chariot need to be condensed with a massive amount of gold essence. At this moment, the metal material in the "inner space" is scarce. Please purchase metal yourself for the Nine Cauldrons to devour, thereby obtaining gold essence and perfecting the function of the Nine Dragons War Chariot...}

The corners of Luo Feng's mouth twitched slightly, and then he silently transmitted a soul message to Jin San, who was going out to purchase metal.

'Jin San, purchase more metal worth 500 billion... no, 1 trillion Black Dragon coins!'

After arranging everything, Luo Feng took advantage of his free time to carefully study the first layer cultivation method of "Cauldron Suppresses Mountains and Rivers".

After thoroughly understanding it, he officially began to cultivate.

The nine bronze cauldrons formed a circle, slowly rotating around Luo Feng's body, the secret patterns on the cauldrons faintly glowing, and wisps of golden light escaping from them.

These golden lights gradually gathered, forming a unique resonance amplitude. At a certain moment, the golden light suddenly increased sharply, and the nine bronze cauldrons, which were originally the size of a thumb, instantly transformed into towering giant cauldrons ten zhang high.

With a slight movement of Luo Feng's mind, the bronze giant cauldrons, wrapped in the force of ten thousand jun, slammed heavily on the metal ground. Only a loud "boom" was heard, deafening, and the ground made of C9-grade alloy... was unscathed.

This was also expected, after all, C9-grade alloy is extraordinary in texture. Even a Universe-level ninth-order powerhouse would have to spend some effort to destroy it. Luo Feng is only at the peak of the Star-level first-order, and even if the manufacturing material of the Nine Cauldrons is extremely rare, it is impossible to increase the power to the extent that it can instantly destroy such a ground.

Valuable materials mean more than just being difficult to damage and having a high usage limit.

"Babata, what level is the power intensity of my attack?" Luo Feng asked.

"Star-level fifth-order 51%..." Babata was silent for a moment, and gave the answer.

It was just playing a virtual game in the virtual world it created for a while. Who knew that when it came out, it would see these nine bronze giant cauldrons.

"When did you change your psychic weapon? Weren't you still using the Shuttle of Escape when you were in the Slaughter Field?" Babata was full of doubts.

"Uh... just changed it, is it good-looking?" Luo Feng smiled awkwardly, trying to change the subject.

Babata: ...

"Good-looking my foot, it looks very bulky, can this be considered a psychic weapon?" Babata mocked mercilessly.

Luo Feng was immediately unconvinced when he heard this.

What do you mean can this also be considered a psychic weapon? This is clearly the psychic weapon that suits him best!

"You'll know how powerful it is later." Luo Feng didn't intend to explain too much, and buried himself in continuing to study the "Cauldron Suppresses Mountains and Rivers", the secret killing move of the Nine Cauldrons.

"Just now when I was controlling the Nine Cauldrons, the connection process seemed to have a small flaw..." Luo Feng frowned and pondered.

This first level of "Cauldron Suppresses Mountains and Rivers" needs to be perfectly integrated with the Domain of Gold in order to exert its true power. Just now, he clearly didn't coordinate the Nine Cauldrons well with the Double Domain of Gold, which seemed quite unfamiliar.

Soon, the battle room rang out with booming sounds again, and as time went on, the sound became more and more deafening.

...

"You step back." Luo Feng took the space ring and waved to signal Jin San, who had just returned, to step back.

"Yes." Jin San respectfully nodded and turned to leave.

Luo Feng then moved his mind and took out some of the metal purchased by "Jin San" from the space ring.

A metal mountain, hundreds of meters high and completely red, appeared on the ground.

Luo Feng drove the nine small cauldrons, activated the "Golden Devouring Secret Pattern" on them, and in an instant, the nine small cauldrons burst out with dazzling light, shrouding the metal mountain.

Wisps of golden essence were devoured by the Nine Cauldrons like whales, and as the absorption process progressed, the space inside the nine small cauldrons was gradually transforming into a metal space.

Heavy golden essence floated in the metal space. At this time, they had completely merged with the Nine Cauldrons, which could greatly enhance the power of the Nine Cauldrons and could also be used to summon and condense nine golden dragons.

Before long, the Nine Cauldrons had devoured the hundred-meter metal mountain completely, leaving only some useless debris on the ground.

"Continue." Luo Feng wanted to see how much metal the Nine Cauldrons could devour.

He tirelessly took out metal mountains one after another from the space ring and fed them to the Nine Cauldrons to devour... one, five, ten...

Until after devouring the fifty-eighth metal mountain, the Nine Cauldrons finally "ate their fill". No matter how Luo Feng urged the secret method, they would no longer swallow even a fraction.

Luo Feng sensed the remaining metal in the space ring and found that the metal purchased with 2 trillion Black Dragon coins had been used up, less than one-tenth remaining.

"Another gold-devouring beast." Luo Feng was both distressed and happy. He was distressed that as his strength advanced, the Nine Cauldrons would inevitably need to absorb more gold essence to grow, and the subsequent cost would be incalculable; he was happy that the power the Nine Cauldrons were showing now made him deeply know that the money was worth spending.

The fifty-eight metal mountains were not the limit of the Nine Cauldrons, but the limit of Luo Feng's own spiritual power control.

For every metal mountain's gold essence, Luo Feng's own spiritual power had to bear an extra share of "pressure".

"Let's try the current power." Luo Feng's mind flashed, the Domain of Gold and the Nine Cauldrons were closely linked, and he used the "Cauldron Suppresses Mountains and Rivers" killing move. Under the urging of spiritual power, the nine small cauldrons grew in the wind, instantly transforming into behemoths fifty zhang high, and then the giant cauldrons spewed out golden light from their mouths, and their power instantly soared a lot.

Boom!

The nine giant cauldrons sealed the space below with a precise formation, and then slammed into the ground at the same time, making a earth-shattering loud noise.

"The burst power reached the eighth-order of the Star level 3%... What the heck is this?" Babata witnessed this scene and was stunned.

Luo Feng is just a spiritualist at the peak of the first order of the Star level... Okay, the gap between the peak of the first order and the second order is indeed not big. Even if Luo Feng is counted as the second order of the Star level, there are still six levels across between that and the eighth order of the Star level!

This is too outrageous!

This attack, comparable to the power of the eighth order of the Star level, can definitely instantly suppress and kill a sixth-order powerhouse of the Star level.

To cross four minor levels to kill an enemy… this… is a bit exaggerated. Ordinary elites can only cross one or two minor levels. Moreover, Luo Feng has just changed his mind power weapon and practiced a new secret technique.

“You're surprised already? You should know that I haven't even completely mastered the first level of the 'Cauldron Suppresses Mountains and Rivers' secret technique. When I fully master the first level and transform the Nine Provinces Cauldron into a hundred-zhang giant, its power will at least double again.” Luo Feng deliberately said to Babata, who had mocked his new mind power weapon earlier.

At this moment, he can only transform the Nine Provinces Cauldron into fifty zhang at most.

And the second level of “Cauldron Suppresses Mountains and Rivers” can transform it into a thousand-zhang giant, and the third level is even a ten-thousand-zhang giant!

Luo Feng couldn't imagine what a violent and unparalleled scene that would be.

However… when he thought of the amount of metal that the ten-thousand-zhang Nine Provinces Cauldron would need to devour, Luo Feng felt a tingling sensation in his scalp.

Make money, I must make more money!

Right, Luo Feng suddenly remembered that he now possessed Star-level strength and could completely claim the first part of Hu Yanbo's assets.

I just don't know how much these assets are… As an Undying expert, it shouldn't be little, right?
