Chapter 629: Chapter 214: Instant Kill! Devouring the Heavens! The Heaven-Reaching Vine in the Deep Cosmos
’If the grade wasn’t high enough, it would be of little value. If it was too high, one would have to spend nearly a tenth of their time just to comprehend it—a terrible return on investment.’
This was the fundamental reason why Qin Feng had acted without hesitation, swiftly killing Nickle, the moment he heard it was a "Slaughter Technique Stele."
"Two more."
He glanced at the Jade Token on the back of his hand. The information feed had already refreshed.
[You have successfully slain two enemies. Base Points Acquired: 2]
[You have successfully plundered points from the enemies’ tokens: 32 points from ’Nickle’ and 35 points from ’Mad Bone Barto’.]
[Your current total points: 82]
[Your current overall rank has risen to: 2,103,445,987,654]
[Your rank in Galaxy Region 117 has risen to: 19,876,543]
Qin Feng nodded slightly.
Of all the enemies he had slain since the competition began, Barto and Nickle had yielded the most points.
Although he had encountered some scattered opponents before, the points they carried were pathetically few.
In fact, the biggest reason he was able to so easily insta-kill these two formidable experts was not his surging physical body or Mental Power, but the Heaven-swallowing Fist Technique.
In terms of raw physical strength and Mental Power levels, Qin Feng was roughly on par with the two of them.
But the quality of his killing technique was far superior to theirs.
This was the fundamental reason for the crushing, instantaneous kills.
After all, the sophistication of an ordinary seventh-level killing technique couldn’t even compare to the first of the ninety-nine spiritual imprints within the Heaven-swallowing Fist Technique. The gap was simply too vast.
After dealing with the enemies, Qin Feng’s gaze returned to the ten-thousand-meter-thick layer of ice beneath his feet.
"Hammer, look up the specific resource information for this satellite’s subterranean ocean. I’m about to break through the ice."
"Yes, Master."
Qin Feng said no more. He gripped the "Star-Swallower" long spear with both hands as his Psychic Core spun frantically, channeling terrifying power into the weapon’s shaft.
He fiercely thrust the Long Spear downward!
RUMBLE—
A colossal boom, seemingly powerful enough to shatter a planet, echoed up from the depths!
With the spear tip as the epicenter, the solid ice for dozens of miles around shattered like glass hit by a billion tons of explosives, instantly collapsing and bursting apart layer by layer!
Countless enormous chunks of ice shot into the sky, shattering into a blizzard of fine shards under the dark purple heavens.
A massive, bottomless crater appeared on the ice plain, revealing the eternally dark, primordial ocean churning with black waves below.
"Master, the query is complete."
Hammer’s voice chimed in at the perfect moment.
"Based on energy spectrum and material composition analysis, all of this planet’s liquid oceans are composed of a precious marvel—’Lightless Water’. Direct consumption can nourish the soul and increase Mental Power without any upper limit."
"Oh?"
Qin Feng was slightly stunned to hear this.
’No wonder the Resource Point marked by the Jade Token this time is so much vaster than any I’ve encountered before.’
’So this place really was hiding an incredible treasure.’
Leaving aside the heaven-defying characteristic of Lightless Water to increase Mental Power without limit, its sheer quantity was already a staggering figure.
The liquid oceans of an entire satellite, all of it Lightless Water—the amount was so vast it was nearly impossible to count.
’Since that’s the case, I’ll enter another period of closed-door cultivation here.’
Qin Feng made his decision.
He sat cross-legged on the edge of the newly-formed crater, indifferent to the rolling dark clouds and raging blizzard overhead.
Then, he activated his Psychic Core and opened his mouth.
A terrifying suction force, powerful enough to seemingly devour stars, emanated from his mouth!
RUMBLE—
The dark ocean below instantly surged with monstrous waves!
The endless Lightless Water formed a black waterspout connecting the sea and sky, drawn by the terrifying suction. It flowed ceaselessly into Qin Feng’s mouth, where it was instantly absorbed and refined by his fearsome physical body.
The reason Planet-level Strongmen were called "Planet-level" was not just because they could traverse the vacuum of the Cosmos with their physical bodies, but because their destructive power was enough to easily annihilate a planet!
A Planet-level Strongman could destroy even a giant planet, let alone the oceans of a tiny satellite.
And so, like a great whale drinking the sea, Qin Feng crazily devoured the entire ocean.
He could clearly feel his Mental Power continuously rising and strengthening at an unprecedentedly comfortable and efficient rate.
-----------------
「Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.」
By the time the last drop of Lightless Water was drawn into his mouth and refined into fundamental Mental Power, the former ocean satellite beneath his feet had become a dead, desiccated ball of ice.
He had completely devoured the planet’s entire liquid ocean.
He had even used his planet-level might to forcibly melt the ten-thousand-meter-thick ice layer, squeezing out the very last trace of the Lightless Water’s energy contained within.
Qin Feng slowly opened his eyes, awakening from ten long years of deep seclusion.
"The gains this time were truly immense."
He felt the heaven-and-earth-shaking changes within his Sea of Consciousness, an irrepressible joy spreading across his face. "A full... three hundred brand-new Spiritual Power Cups have been condensed!"
Within his Sea of Consciousness, next to the original four cups, three hundred new, equally solid and dense cups floated silently, forming a small "forest of cups."
They resonated with one another, collectively bearing a volume of Spiritual Power Drops far more vast than before, raising both the total amount and the control precision of his Mental Power to a whole new level.
