287: Chapter 287 Eating Stars

In the Void Realm outside the Magic Eye Planet, Wang Tianming and the Soul Ant stood quietly, strictly adhering to their duty of remaining on standby.

The man and the ant witnessed the entire process of the Diyang Giant Beast stepping into the Dark Universe, crossing stellar distances in an instant, and appearing outside the Helium White Dwarf in the blink of an eye.

This inconceivable scene left both of them dazed on the spot, their faces filled with shock.

The Soul Ant's massive body trembled slightly, its compound eyes staring fixedly at the distant starry sky. Filled with disbelief, it sent a low-pitched Divine Thought transmission:

"Master... Did Master just teleport directly? He arrived in the blink of an eye across such a vast distance?"

Wang Tianming, having lived for many years and possessing broad knowledge, quickly suppressed the waves in his heart and shook his head to explain:

"It wasn't teleportation. He spread his Domain to extract dark matter, escaped into the Dark Universe to travel, and then emerged."

The Soul Ant listened with half-understanding, becoming even more amazed: "Dark Universe travel... That's possible?"

Wang Tianming looked at it and said crossly, "Aren't you already Rank Six? You can also use your Domain to extract dark matter and enter the Dark Universe to travel."

The Soul Ant's interest was piqued immediately, and it hurriedly followed up: "So that's how it is? How do you operate it? I don't know the trick, why don't you teach me?"

Wang Tianming was speechless.

A Yao Beast is a Yao Beast; it didn't even know this.

He said irritably, "I'm only Rank Five and don't have a Domain. I can't teach you."

The Soul Ant gave an "oh," lay back down, and stopped talking.

Wang Tianming looked at its indifferent attitude, feeling a wave of helplessness in his heart.

A Rank Six Yao Beast that doesn't even know how to travel through the Dark Universe—what a waste of that cultivation.

Outside the Helium White Dwarf, the Diyang Giant Beast floated in space.

Before it was a white dwarf star. It wasn't large, with a diameter of only a few thousand kilometers, but it emitted a piercing white light.

The surface temperature reached tens of thousands of degrees, dozens of times hotter than the lava of the Magic Eye Planet.

The white light shone on the red scales of the Diyang Giant Beast, reflecting a dazzling radiance.

Lin Yun activated his Devouring Talent.

The space in front of his mouth began to distort, forming a small vortex.

White matter from the surface of the Helium White Dwarf was sucked over, turning into a thin white line that entered the Diyang Giant Beast's mouth.

The white line was very thin, like a strand of hair, and insignificant compared to the massive Helium White Dwarf.

But Lin Yun was in no hurry and took his time.

After taking a bite, Lin Yun sensed the effect.

The taste of the Helium White Dwarf was very light, like plain water, without much flavor.

However, the energy it contained was extremely pure, being a product of the final stages of stellar evolution, completely different from the lava of the Magic Eye Planet.

After devouring for a while longer...

Lin Yun once again spread his Fire Element Domain, extracting dark matter to shroud his body.

With a flicker of his form, he dived into the Dark Universe again.

Within a few breaths, he had traversed the distance and arrived outside a Neutron Star.

The Neutron Star was very small, even smaller than the Helium White Dwarf, with a diameter of only a few dozen kilometers.

But its density was immense, hundreds of millions of tons per cubic centimeter.

A piece of Neutron Star matter the size of a ping-pong ball would weigh billions of tons.

Its next form would be a black hole.

Black holes are the most terrifying existences in the Universe, from which even light cannot escape.

Although the Diyang Giant Beast was strong, at the Middle Stage of Rank Six, he still couldn't get too close.

The Neutron Star was releasing pulses.

Two intense beams of light shot out from its poles like two massive flashlights rotating in space.

Everywhere the beams swept, space itself distorted.

The frequency was very fast, hundreds of times per second.

Lin Yun activated his talent to devour the pulses.

He wasn't devouring the Neutron Star itself, but the pulses it released.

The pulses were the form in which the Neutron Star's energy was released, containing pure energy.

Devouring pulses was safer and more efficient than devouring stellar matter.

The pulses were sucked into the Diyang Giant Beast's mouth, turning into streaks of white lightning that exploded within his Internal World.

After finishing the pulses, Lin Yun arrived at a Red Giant Star.

The Red Giant Star was the main event.

The Helium White Dwarf and the Neutron Star were both in the final stages of stellar evolution.

One was already dead, the other was dying.

The Red Giant Star was still in its prime, burning, shining, and releasing infinite energy.

This was the primary ingredient.

The Diyang Giant Beast dove straight into it.

The Red Giant Star was massive, with a diameter of millions of kilometers, hundreds of times that of the sun.

The surface temperature was a few thousand degrees, not particularly high, but the internal temperature was extreme—tens of millions of degrees.

Nuclear Fusion occurred at every moment, hydrogen turning into helium, helium into carbon, and carbon into oxygen, releasing immense energy.

After entering, the Diyang Giant Beast felt as if he had returned home.

The scorching plasma enveloped his body; the temperature of millions of degrees was just right for him.

His scales became even more brilliant under the wash of the plasma, his wings flapped gently in the heat waves, and his tail swayed slowly in the void.

It felt like soaking in a hot spring; it was incredibly refreshing.

Lin Yun devoured a mouthful of Solar Wind in the Corona.

Solar Wind is a stream of high-speed particles ejected from the surface of a Red Giant Star, moving at incredible speeds of hundreds of kilometers per second.

With one bite, his mouth was filled with high-speed particles bursting apart.

He then swallowed a mouthful in the Chromosphere.

The Chromosphere is a thin layer of gas on the surface of the Red Giant Star, with a temperature much higher than the surface, reaching tens of thousands of degrees.

Its color was red, like a mass of burning flames.

With one bite, his mouth was full of flames.

Next, he devoured a mouthful in the Photosphere.

The Photosphere is the "surface" of the Red Giant Star, the layer we can see.

The temperature was a few thousand degrees, and the light was at its strongest.

With one bite, his mouth was full of light.

Finally, he arrived at the Convection Zone.

The Convection Zone is a region inside the Red Giant Star where matter churns up and down like a pot of boiling porridge.

The temperature was millions of degrees, and the pressure was immense.

This was where the Red Giant Star's energy was most concentrated.

Now it was time for the main course.

Lin Yun activated his Devouring Talent to its full extent.

In the Convection Zone, countless amounts of matter were devoured by Lin Yun into his Internal World.

Hydrogen, helium, carbon, oxygen—all kinds of elements and matter were decomposed by the power of devouring, turning into pure energy that flooded into his Internal World.

It fused with the Helium White Dwarf matter and Neutron Star pulses he had devoured earlier, becoming the Materials for Cultivating the Law of Heaven and Earth.

Lin Yun circulated the cultivation method of the Law of Heaven and Earth, absorbing these Materials.

After absorbing these Materials, his genes began to undergo subtle changes.

It was slow but steady.

A day later, the Materials he had eaten from the Helium White Dwarf and Neutron Star were exhausted.

Lin Yun went back to those two stars to devour more.

A bite of Helium White Dwarf, a bite of Neutron Star pulses, and then back to the Red Giant Star to continue devouring.

This process repeated in an endless cycle.

Time flowed slowly, and three months passed in a flash.

Under the continuous devouring of stars, refining of Origin, and tempering of the secret technique, the first layer of the Law of Heaven and Earth was successfully mastered, granting a direct three-fold increase to both his Physical Body and combat power.

A year later, the secret technique achieved another Breakthrough, reaching the second layer, resulting in a six-fold increase in combat power and size!

At the same time, the Diyang Giant Beast's cultivation naturally progressed, steadily stepping from the Middle Stage of Rank Six into the Late Stage of Rank Six.

The internal fire world expanded to sixty kilometers.

His body surged to a massive ten kilometers in size; standing in the starry sky, he was like an ancient god or demon, his pressure intimidating all directions of the Star Domain.
