Swallowing the Stars: Six Eyes

Chapter 30 Three Years Later

Chapter 30 One Year Later

The box containing the "Cloud Sea Dragon Hunt" has two layers.

Gu Ce opened the bottom of the box and took out a Force suit that was also dark blue and had a jelly-like texture.

As a defensive piece of equipment, the Force Suit's main function is defense. At most, it is more in line with the operation of the laws of water and space, and there is nothing particularly noteworthy about it.

The Force Suit can also be paired with the Alloy Suit; the combination of the two provides even stronger defense.

Gu Ce picked up the battle suit, which automatically adhered to his body and transformed into a stream of water that enveloped him.

With this, at least the lack of the Cloud Vine Armor in the early stages can be made up for, and it will be enough for me to use all the way to the Realm Lord level.

Next is the third box.

"Snapped!"

Under Rimuru's expectant gaze, Gu Ce opened the box.

What came into view was a strange piece of black skin with strange dark gold patterns on it.

"The complete skin of the Demon Slayer Clan, known as the number one assassin race in the universe, is worth hundreds of Chaos Units. It can be used to comprehend the fundamental laws of space! It will be of great help to your future cultivation of the laws of space, Gu Ce!" Rimuru laughed.

Demon Slayer Clan?

Gu Ce was somewhat taken aback.

I never expected that this would be the last item Rimuru prepared.

That makes sense, though, since he didn't tell Rimuru about the six-eyed ability, and only about the three-fold genetic level.

Thinking of this, Gu Ce couldn't help but laugh and cry.

He has no use for this! The effect might not even be as good as using a six-eyed device directly.

Rimuru is an intelligent life form.

As intelligent life forms, they will not betray their masters.

Gu Ce ultimately decided to inform Rimuru of the Six Eyes' abilities to avoid such a blunder from happening again.

This will also allow Rimuru to better plan his subsequent training.

"(°ー°〃) Huh?"

Rimuru's eyes narrowed into small circles, clearly having never considered this possibility.

Of course, it's not its fault.

"Should I cancel?" Rimuru asked cautiously.

"Never mind, let's keep it." Gu Ce shook his head.

For now, a few hundred units of mixed energy won't make a difference; I can use them for the time being.

After all, it's possible to directly observe the fundamental laws of space in the universe, but it's useless if you can't understand them. This Demon Slayer skin can help you comprehend it to some extent.

Moreover, it might even be used by Luo Feng to create clones later.

The original owner of this skin had just reached the first level of the cosmic level, which was much weaker than the one Luo Feng used to nurture his clone in the original work. If Luo Feng were to use it earlier, it should be able to accelerate Luo Feng's growth.

"Let's go back to Earth!"

"Okay! ︿(￣︶￣)︿" Rimuru said cheerfully with a happy expression.

The spaceship accelerated and plunged into the dark universe.

……

2056 12 Month 1 Day.

The fourth month after the martial arts combat assessment ended.

It was two days after Gu Ce returned to Earth.

After handing over the purchased Azure Marrow and Wooden Crystal to Gu Hechang and Gu Hesheng, Gu Ce finished explaining various matters and then prepared to go into seclusion for cultivation.

In the control room of that D3-class spaceship.

Gu Ce removed his clothes, revealing his muscular physique, and lay down inside the nutrient tank.

As the mechanism was activated, the nutrient solution quickly covered Gu Ce's body surface, completely submerging him.

The nutrient solution enveloped his entire body, and the strange substance began to seep into his body along his skin, penetrating his muscles, bones, membranes, and internal organs...

Consciousness enters the virtual universe!

Because of the unique nature of the virtual universe, Gu Ce can fully cultivate secret techniques, hone combat skills, and develop domains within it, without wasting a single moment.

As for the understanding of the laws...

This does not need to be done in a virtual universe.

With his six eyes, Gu Ce can comprehend the laws of nature much faster in reality.

……

Killing Field!

Gu Ce entered this place.

"Set the enemy to be a ninth-tier planetary-level martial artist, and in terms of secret techniques, fully master the 'Ice Wasteland Sword Technique - Basic Chapter'," Gu Ce said.

Swish!

A figure resembling Gu Ce appeared on the opposite side.

In contrast, Gu Ce was wearing a dark blue Force suit, while the simulated person opposite him was wearing a white suit.

"bring it on!"

Gu Ce's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

"Ice Wilderness Sword Technique - Basic Edition" corresponds to secret techniques at the cosmic level and below.

The complete Ice Wasteland Sword Technique has seven sword moves, the first three of which are in this basic chapter: Condensation, Frost, and Ice Seal, corresponding to the Planetary, Eternal, and Cosmic levels, respectively.

"The First Form of the Ice Wasteland Sword Technique—Condensation!"

The man in white shouted, gripping his long sword as he swiftly attacked Gu Ce.

Gu Ce's gaze sharpened, and he drew the "Cloud Sea Dragon Hunting Sword," using the "Condensation" technique to block the attack.

"when!"

The two swords clashed, and the white-clad man on the other side clearly had the upper hand!

Gu Ce took a step back, feeling his body getting hot.

"Again!"

Gu Ce exclaimed excitedly.

The man in white remained silent, continuing to grip his longsword tightly as he attacked Gu Ce.

Three times in a row!

The man in white moved with incredible speed. Although he did not have a domain, his physical abilities were several times that of Gu Ce. In the virtual universe, Gu Ce's current physical performance was equivalent to that of a fourth-tier planetary-level martial artist at the genetic level.

After three consecutive collisions, Gu Ce was somewhat overwhelmed and had to activate his domain.

The realm of water, three realms!

Almost two months have passed since Gu Ce mastered the Water Domain. With the talent brought by Six Eyes, Gu Ce has raised the domain to the third level and even faintly touched the threshold of the Water Origin Law!

Perhaps, before breaking through to the Eternal Star level, one can cross the threshold of the fundamental law of water.

The dominance of the domain directly suppressed the white-clad man on the other side.

At the planetary level, possessing a domain means being virtually invincible!

The man in white struggled, giving Gu Ce some time to catch his breath, but then he attacked again.

"Ice Wasteland Sword Technique, Second Form—Frostbite!"

Without the support of domains and laws, this sword technique appears simple and unadorned.

But the power it contained surprised Gu Ce.

"boom!"

The man in white was sent flying backwards and was instantly killed.

Faced with the suppression of the field, no matter how good his skills are, it's useless.

"I've only barely mastered the first move of the sword technique. Without further practice of the Ice Wasteland Sword Technique, I'm highly unlikely to be able to defeat him without relying on my domain," Gu Ce muttered to himself.

"Then, next, we'll not use the domain, just swordsmanship!" Gu Ce's gaze sharpened.

According to his plan and Rimuru's explanation.

As long as you can master the second sword technique, you will have the combat power of a star level at the planetary level!

As for the third move, it is virtually impossible for a planetary-level being to learn it. If a celestial-level being could master the third move, they would be considered invincible at the celestial level, possessing the strength to challenge cosmic-level beings beyond their level.

The figure in white quickly reformed and attacked Gu Ce.

"when!"

Swords clashed, and after Gu Ce parried several blows, he still died suddenly.

……

2057 2 Month 4 Day.

Chinese New Year.

Gu Ce emerged from the nutrient chamber on this day to celebrate the New Year with his family.

Hong and Thor came to us on this day, wanting to let people on Earth access the virtual universe.

After thinking about it for a long time, Gu Ce finally agreed to their request.

However, they also agreed that they would both be responsible for any problems that might arise in the future.

They borrowed several Hengxing-level slaves from Gu Ce and made a trip to Qiulong Star, where they bought a lot of things.

On Gu Hechang and Gu Hesheng's side, Gu Ce also granted them access to the virtual universe. With the help of those Azure Wave Marrow and Wooden Crystals, their strength also increased rapidly, making them second only to Hong and Lei Shen on Earth.

Gu Ce also paid a special visit to Luo Feng's family to reassure them.

……

2057 3 Month 21 Day.

With the nutrient solution exhausted, Gu Ce successfully advanced to the ninth level of the Planetary Realm.

Furthermore, he successfully mastered the second move of the Ice Wasteland Sword Technique, but he still couldn't grasp the secrets of the third move.

Gu Ce changed his opponent to someone who had mastered the second move of the Ice Wilderness Sword Technique and possessed a water domain. Gu Ce began to learn how to combine the domain with the sword technique.

……

2057 6 Month 1 Day.

On Children's Day, before the Great Nirvana, Thor naturally took control of the domain.

He then challenged Hong and Gu Ce to a duel, only to be brutally beaten. Enraged by Gu Hechang's mockery, he challenged Gu Hechang in the virtual universe. Without using his domain, the two fought to a draw.

……

2057 7 Month 20 Day.

Hong and Lei Shen have both advanced to the ninth level of the Planetary level, seeking an opportunity to break through to the Eternal level.

On the same day, Thor challenged Gu Hechang to a duel, and this time Gu Hechang was quickly defeated, allowing Thor to regain his arrogance.

……

2057 8 Month 11 Day.

Gu Ce's water domain has reached the fifth level, and he has initially crossed the threshold of the fundamental law of water.

……

2057 12 Month 30 Day.

Gu Ce broke through to the Hengxing level.

……

2057 12 Month 31 Day.
