Swallowing the Starry Sky: Qin Feng

Looking at the enormous banyan tree in front of him, which was tens of meters tall and about ten meters in diameter, Qin Feng didn't waste any time chopping it down. He jumped straight to the bare trunk in the middle of the tree and plunged his knife in. The banyan tree, which had been quiet all along, suddenly began to shake violently.

Unfortunately, while the old willow tree still has twigs to whip people, this guy, apart from a bit of green on its head, is completely smooth all over. I don't know if it's because the python has been coiled on it for years, but you can't even see a twig on its lower body. You can't whip it, you can only struggle in pain.

Ignoring his struggles, Qin Feng picked up his long knife and began digging, his target the green crystal core.

Before long, a large hole had been carved out of the trunk, leading directly to the heart of the tree. Qin Feng crouched down, crawled inside, cleared away the wood chips, grasped the green crystal core, and snapped it open. The entire banyan tree trembled as if it had lost all its strength, and then remained completely still.

He put the crystal core into his ring and slowly left the tree hole. Without pausing, he picked up his battle sword and fought his way out of the encirclement. He sped towards home, deliberately taking a detour when encountering planetary monster territories. He dealt with any monster that dared to block his way with a single strike.

They ran for nearly ten miles before stopping to rest and wait for Jin Yu to join them.

Finding a large tree, Qin Feng jumped onto a branch and took out the crystal core from his ring, examining it closely. The crystal core was entirely green, only the size of a fist, but it contained an extremely pure life energy. It should be the same type of thing as the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart. I wonder if it can help me reach the peak of the God of War.

Time is running out. If I don't break through now, I'll be too late. There are less than six years left until the Battle of the Peak Geniuses. And will six years really be enough for me to cultivate to a level where I can participate in the battle?

To be honest, he himself felt that the chances were slim. Although in the original work, Luo Feng seemed to have entered the top ten of the genius battle in just a few years of cultivation, that depends on Luo Feng's configuration.

In terms of talent, he has the Golden Horned Beast, known as the darling of the Law of Gold, and the Demon Slayer Clan, the darling of the Law of Space. In terms of resources, he has the legacy left to him by the master of Meteorite Star, plus a large number of treasures obtained in the World Lord's World.

Even so, he didn't achieve first place because he had too little time to train.

And what about my own advantages? I have no shortage of inheritance, but which participant in the Genius Battle lacks inheritance? The Origin Pearl can only provide a small boost to comprehension at the moment, which is not very helpful.

Unless the repair progress increases dramatically after breaking through to the planetary level, and some incredible new function appears, even if the comprehension bonus increases several times, it may not be possible to make significant progress in a short period of time.

It seems I'll need to work out the road ahead with Monkey King when we get back.

"Boss, run!"

Qin Feng, who was deep in thought, suddenly snapped out of it.

"Hmm! What's wrong with Jin Yu?"

"Boss, get ready. When I come over, jump into the air and I'll catch you and we'll run together."

"No, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I don't have time to go into details, just get ready, I'll be there soon."

Qin Feng quickly turned on the detector and carefully scanned the surroundings.

"What the hell?! So many planetary planets!"

Within the detection range, five planetary-level energy reactions were rapidly approaching this side. Upon closer inspection, the one at the very front was none other than Jin Yu.

"Jin Yu, what's going on? Why have so many planetary-level beings been alerted?"

"Boss, it's not my fault! That guy deliberately caused trouble. He wanted to fight me but couldn't catch me. He wanted to go back but I would chase after him and attack him, so he deliberately rushed into other monster lairs, and that's how it happened."

"Ah! This! Plans really do change."

As they were talking, a golden light streaked across the sky. Qin Feng stomped on the tree trunk and soared into the air. The golden light turned and caught Qin Feng, flying away into the distance without stopping.

Following closely behind were four auras of first-tier planetary level beings, who relentlessly pursued them even as the distance between them grew ever greater.

"What did you do to them? Why are they all chasing after you so desperately?"

Qin Feng, clinging tightly to Jin Yu's back to prevent himself from being blown off by the wind, asked telepathically.

"Hehe! I just broke through, right? I wanted to test my skills, so I played around with them, but none of them were faster than me, so I could only take the hits."

"You beat them all up?"

"I didn't really fight much, did I? I would just hit them once and run away, and then they would keep chasing me."

"You're really something. If it were me, I'd chase after you too! Isn't this just bullying a beast because of your speed?"

Qin Feng, who was complaining about Jin Yu, suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, a huge figure sprang out from the dense forest in front of Qin Feng and Jin Yu, its blood-red maw snapping at them with a speed that was no slower than Jin Yu's.

Jin Yu was too fast, and its detection function scanned too much information in an instant. Qin Feng's brain simply couldn't process so much information, and by the time Qin Feng realized the danger, it was too late.

Before he could even react, Qin Feng could smell the fishy stench coming from the other person's mouth.

Just as the man and the eagle were about to be bitten by the closing maw, the two figures vanished in a flash, leaving only a silver ring in the air, which was swallowed whole by the giant beast.

Several planetary-level monsters in the distance saw this and turned to run away in fright.

A monster, hundreds of meters long and tens of meters high, resembling an enlarged lizard, blinked in confusion in the air. Where was its enormous prey? It was practically in its mouth, so how could it have suddenly vanished?

Forget it, I wasn't even that hungry. If they hadn't come to me, I wouldn't have bothered with them. I'll just go back to sleep. I glanced at the few planetary-level monsters that had run off into the distance, but didn't pay them any more attention.

In the plaza within the World Ring, a man and a sculpture stood silently facing each other, Qin Feng's heart still pounding like a drum.

"Damn! That was dangerous! I almost died. If Jin Yu hadn't completely trusted him and knew about the existence of the World Ring and hadn't resisted, it would have been too late if he had hesitated even a little."

"I'm sorry, boss, it's all my fault. If I hadn't provoked so many enemies, we might not have encountered this danger."

"Hahaha! There's always danger in this world. Don't blame yourself, you're still alive, aren't you? We were just unlucky. That guy was a planetary-level Tier 3 Tyrannosaurus Rex. We couldn't have beaten him even if we had faced him head-on, let alone ambushed him."

"So, are we being swallowed up now?"

"It must have been swallowed. The place where we entered the World Ring was right in its mouth."

"So what do we do now?"

"Hehe! If we ran into him outside, the two of us combined wouldn't be a match for him, but where are we now? Inside his stomach. I'm going to teach him a lesson about the consequences of eating the wrong things."

"Jin Yu, I'll let you out later. Right now, we should be inside his stomach. With that guy's size, his stomach can't hold you. It'll definitely burst him."

Outside, Tyrannomon, who was preparing to return to its lair to continue sleeping, suddenly trembled. Its thick waist was suddenly stretched to a whole size, and its heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were squeezed to burst, as if a vicious dragon was churning and tormenting inside its body.

Hey!

A painful roar instantly echoed through the mountains and forests. The body, over a hundred meters long, struggled and rolled in the jungle, flattening the surrounding jungle for thousands of meters. After a long time, the monster's powerful vitality prevented it from dying immediately, but it no longer had the strength to struggle.

Before long, a golden wing suddenly pierced out from one side of the huge body. The golden wing, carrying a sharp aura, slashed hard, tearing a huge gash in half of the Tyrannosaurus Beast's body. A golden figure slowly squeezed out from the huge wound.

The Tyrannomon's body twitched a few times, then its eyes went completely dark.

Jin Yu put down the World Ring he was holding in his mouth, and Qin Feng appeared. Looking at the motionless Tyrannosaurus Rex corpse, he felt a pang of regret. This guy was really unlucky to have run into a cheat-like player like himself. Otherwise, with his Planetary Level 3 strength, he would definitely be alive and well as long as he didn't cause any trouble.

With a wave of his hand, Qin Feng put it away, jumped onto Jin Yu's back, patted it on the back, and said: Let's go home.

This time, the man and the eagle slowed down and flew towards city 057.

Before long, the outline of city 057 appeared beneath our feet. The city that had taken us half a year to cross back then now seemed so tiny when we looked down from the air.

Is this because the view is different depending on the height you stand at?

If I were to stand on the moon right now and look at Earth again, what would it look like?

That must be beautiful, right? It's coming soon, that day isn't too far away! The moon is nothing compared to the entire universe. One day, I will stand in the ocean of space and watch the cycle of the universe with a smile. Only then will I have lived this world in vain.

He drove straight through City 057 and onto the main road leading to the Western Military Region. Qin Feng put the Golden Feather into his World Ring to prevent it from causing panic in the Western Military Region.

I dug out my backpack, which had been lying in a corner for months, and stuffed it full of materials from the Lord-level monsters I had collected in City 057, selecting a few of the better ones.

With a backpack taller than a person on his back, Qin Feng embarked on his journey home like any other martial artist. His entry into the Western Military Region went unnoticed; there was nothing unusual about a martial artist like him returning with such a full load.

When Qin Feng went to the HR Alliance to sell monster materials, he caused a small commotion. After all, all the materials in Qin Feng's backpack were of the high-level lord level, and he had several of them at once. In the end, the total price of the monster materials was more than 800 billion. The manager who was buying monster materials looked at Qin Feng as if he were a god. In his eyes, those were high-level lord monsters. Even if a war god made a move, not everyone could get such a harvest. The person in front of him was definitely an invincible war god!

After confirming the bank account had received the funds, I didn't linger. I took a train to the base city and headed straight to the Zhongyuan Base City Airport. I then bought a plane ticket for the same day and flew directly to the Jiangnan Base City.

Finally, he arrived back at Mingyue Residential Area in Yangzhou City before dusk. Looking at the familiar lights of countless homes around him, he felt a sense of déjà vu. Having lived alone in the wilderness for eight months, although he was naturally a rather solitary person, he had never experienced such a long period of isolation from society. Returning to this familiar environment brought him a sense of relief. Indeed, home is where the heart is; this must be what home feels like!

Opening the door, Qin Feng looked at the dusty room, threw his backpack and sword on the ground, and without caring whether the sofa was clean or not, sat down and picked up the phone to order food. He hadn't had a proper meal in months and couldn't wait any longer. He really missed the taste of normal food.

After ordering the food, I rushed into the bathroom for a nice bath and a good wash. Just then, my dinner arrived. After seeing the delivery guy off, I placed the food containers on the table, opened a bottle of beer and started showing off. Then I picked up my chopsticks and began to wolf down my food. Eating alone, I made it look like I was going to war.

Before long, having eaten and drunk his fill, he didn't bother to clean up. Instead, he lay on the sofa picking his teeth, his eyes glazed over. A wave of drowsiness washed over him, and without any resistance, he simply curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.

He was truly exhausted during this period. In the wilderness, he was either fighting or cultivating. Especially after the supplies ran out, the food was also poor. His nerves were on edge every day. He looked fine on the outside, but his mind was already exhausted. So as soon as he got home, back to the place where he felt safest, he ate and drank his fill and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

I slept for more than ten hours and didn't wake up until nine o'clock the next morning.

I opened my eyes, looked at the familiar ceiling, rubbed my eyes, and my eyes gradually regained their sparkle.

Ah! I forgot I was already home. I stretched and yawned loudly. It feels so good to be home!

After getting up and washing up, he called a housekeeper to clean the room. He changed his clothes and strolled leisurely around the neighborhood. Strangely enough, even though he had been eager to break through to the planetary level, his mind was now calm. He was no longer rushing and seemed extremely impatient.

Qin Feng also wanted to take this opportunity to adjust his condition. He planned to rest for two days to restore his energy and spirit to their peak state before striving for another breakthrough.

He had a premonition that once he broke through to the planetary level, it might be a completely different world, and he might not even have the chance to relax.

Qin Feng, who had been wandering around the neighborhood for half a day, originally hoped to run into Luo Hua again and ask about their family situation.

Unfortunately, they didn't run into them. However, in the original story, it wasn't until sometime next year that the Indonesian spiritualist would come to their door with his men to threaten them. Before that, it seemed like nothing had happened to their family.

Forget it, with my current strength, I can't be of much help anyway. There's no need to rush to get involved in this kind of thing. If I happen to run into them, I'll help them out; if not, so be it. After all, I don't really have any connection with Luo Feng, and I'm just an acquaintance of Luo Hua. Just like any ordinary person, I'll just have some respect for the families of the eight heroes who sacrificed themselves for Earth. After all, in the original story, they didn't suffer any accidents in the end.

Compared to when he first awakened his memories and wanted Luo Feng to owe him a favor, Qin Feng's current state of mind is clearly different from what he was back then.
