Night.
The dark, endless sea roared violently beneath the howling ocean wind. The world was shrouded in darkness.
Above the ocean, humanity’s greatest enemy, the Devouring Beast, finally faced humanity’s two strongest warriors, Hong and Lei Shen.
Boom! Boom!
Hong and Lei Shen immediately unleashed the ultimate desperate technique that only domain experts could perform.
Without a domain, this technique was simply impossible.
Hong’s body, together with the black spear in his hands, was instantly enveloped in black light.
Lei Shen’s entire body was wrapped in green lightning that writhed like countless snakes.
“Haha!”
Lei Shen laughed loudly.
“Haha!”
Hong laughed as well.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two of them traced graceful arcs through the sky, charging towards the enormous Devouring Beast from different directions.
The beast hovered in mid air, its dark golden eyes coldly watching the two humans rushing towards it.
To it, these humans were merely slightly stronger ants among countless others.
Yangzhou City, inside the Extreme Dojo training hall.
Standing beside his family, Luo Feng watched the screen with overwhelming tension.
“They’re risking everything now. Luo Feng, Hong and Lei Shen have begun burning their souls. Their battle can last at most one minute. If they fail to kill the Devouring Beast within that minute, they’ll lose all ability to resist.” Babata’s voice sounded in Luo Feng’s mind.
Luo Feng’s heart tightened.
“Burning their souls? Is it like the soul burning techniques used by the Yun Mo Planet spiritual masters?”
Among the Yun Mo Planet inheritance, there were many basic techniques.
But the Miscellaneous Volume also contained powerful secret arts such as Soul Seal, Tower of the Void, and many others.
Naturally, it also included forbidden techniques that burned one’s soul in a desperate battle.
“Of course it’s different. In terms of technique, the Yun Mo Planet secret arts are far more sophisticated. However…” Babata quickly continued. “Even though those techniques are more refined, their power still can’t compare to what these two are doing. What they’re using now is a desperate technique that only domain experts can perform. Their souls, genetic energy, physical strength, and willpower have become completely united, resonating with the universe itself to unleash their greatest power. It’s terrifying. If they can kill the Devouring Beast instantly, they might survive.”
“But if the beast doesn’t die, then they certainly will,” Babata said.
“Has the Silver Guard arrived yet?” Luo Feng asked.
Back at Ancient Civilisation Ruins Number Twelve, Luo Feng had obtained the Silver Guard after its energy had already been exhausted.
After Babata repaired it and replenished its energy crystals, it was once again operational.
“Almost. But Luo Feng, the Silver Guard is designed as a bodyguard. If those two are determined to sacrifice themselves, it won’t be able to help much.” Babata replied helplessly.
“We’ll do everything we can, then leave the rest to fate.”
Luo Feng stared at the screen.
Although his exchange with Babata seemed lengthy, it all took place through mental communication and was completed almost instantly.
Yet in that brief moment.
The battle on the screen had already reached its climax.
This was a battle on the level of stellar warriors.
Ordinary people could not possibly follow it with the naked eye.
They relied entirely on slow motion replays, repeated footage, and live commentary.
Luo Feng.
Was the only person inside the entire training hall who could clearly follow every movement.
“This is bad. The Devouring technique.”
Luo Feng’s expression changed dramatically.
…
Above the Pacific Ocean.
The Golden Horned Beast’s tail swept through the sky like an illusion, lashing towards Hong and Lei Shen.
Bang!
The beast suddenly felt a strange spiralling force transmitted through Hong’s spear.
Its own tail strike was unexpectedly thrown into disorder.
“Roar!”
The Golden Horned Beast threw back its head and unleashed a furious roar that shook heaven and earth.
It was furious.
Originally, it had viewed these two stronger than average ants as creatures it could casually crush using only its normal strength.
But after exchanging blows.
It discovered that these tiny humans possessed astonishing combat ability.
They were even stronger than the first level stellar humans recorded within its inherited memories.
Moreover.
Their spear and sabre techniques were incomparably more profound.
Every strike seemed born from nature itself.
It simply could not predict them.
In truth.
Although this Golden Horned Beast had already lived for one year, considering its incredibly long lifespan, it was little different from a human infant that had only just begun drinking milk.
Its bloodline was noble.
Its inherited memories were immense.
But apart from its innate talents, the knowledge contained within those memories still had to be learned.
One year was nowhere near enough.
In terms of understanding.
Even Luo Feng far surpassed it.
Compared with Hong and Lei Shen, who had both entered the realm of domains.
The difference was immeasurable.
The two humans burning their souls.
Against the heavily wounded Golden Horned Beast.
The gap between them was no longer especially large.
“Woo!”
The Golden Horned Beast suddenly opened its mouth.
“Not good!”
“Be careful!”
Hong and Lei Shen’s expressions changed instantly.
Around the world, every expert watching through satellite broadcasts also turned pale.
Everyone had already witnessed the beast’s terrifying Devouring ability.
Boom.
Following their battle plan exactly, Hong and Lei Shen immediately flew together.
They deliberately gathered side by side.
The Golden Horned Beast looked down at the two tiny figures with its dark golden eyes, becoming even more furious.
These insignificant humans were simply asking to die.
Originally, it had intended to swallow only one.
Since they had gathered together.
It would swallow both.
Buzz.
Invisible spatial power spread across several hundred metres, completely enveloping Hong and Lei Shen.
“Brother Hong.”
Lei Shen’s face changed slightly.
“Hmph.”
Hong waved one hand.
Instantly.
An enormous mountain of black metal wreckage suddenly appeared in the air directly between himself and the Devouring Beast.
The tightly packed wreckage left almost no empty space.
Its total volume was even slightly larger than the Devouring Beast itself.
Approximately one hundred and eighty metres long.
One hundred and twenty metres wide.
One hundred metres high.
Countless pieces of metal had been stacked densely together.
Luo Feng’s Black Dragon Mountain X81 spacecraft had only been around one hundred metres in diameter.
Furthermore, spacecraft and transport vessels were mostly hollow inside.
They contained halls, cabins, control rooms, and many empty compartments.
They were essentially giant metal shells.
Yet now.
An unbelievably dense mountain of solid metal wreckage had appeared.
“Go on then. Swallow it. Swallow it!”
Hong’s eyes remained icy.
“You nearly burst after swallowing just a few war bases. These are all wreckage from ancient civilisation spacecraft. The quality of this metal is vastly superior to anything on Earth. There’s enough metal here to build ten adventure spacecraft. Let’s see if you can swallow it.”
By common sense.
Just like humans.
Eat too much.
And you’ll burst.
The same principle applied.
The Golden Horned Beast did not dare swallow so much metal at once.
Every piece of this ancient metal was worth hundreds of pieces of ordinary Earth metal.
If it swallowed everything.
Its internal world would burst apart.
And if its internal world collapsed.
It would die.
“Let’s give you something extra.”
Hong’s gaze remained cold.
He waved again.
Whoosh.
A huge bundle of long metal cylinders appeared.
“Here. I gathered these from several different countries. Eighteen hydrogen bombs in total. Along with atomic bombs to trigger them.”
The moment Hong revealed the bombs.
“Woo!”
The Golden Horned Beast immediately stopped using its Devouring ability.
It roared furiously.
It still vividly remembered the power of the previous one hundred and fifty million ton hydrogen bomb.
Now there were eighteen of them.
Although each was somewhat smaller.
The beast no longer dared swallow recklessly.
Nor did it dare swallow that enormous mountain of tightly packed metal.
Why had it only surfaced repeatedly to consume relatively small amounts of metal?
Why not eat everything at once?
Because its appetite had limits.
Humans could eat themselves to death.
The same applied to it.
It simply did not dare swallow such an enormous quantity.
“Roar!”
Utterly enraged, the golden secret patterns upon its horn suddenly blazed with light.
Its eyes also transformed into dazzling gold.
Golden light rapidly flowed from its neck and back into its front claws.
Its razor sharp claws slashed forward.
Bang!
The mountain of metal exploded apart, flying in every direction.
Its enormous claws continued directly towards Hong and Lei Shen hiding behind the wreckage.
But.
The instant its claws scattered the metal.
A wave of black energy swept forward with incredible speed.
Sizzle!
A faint sound.
Like hair burning in a flame.
Exactly like the sound when the B6 grade laser cannon had struck the Devouring Beast before.
Sizzle!
The black wave brushed past its claws.
Then struck directly into the Golden Horned Beast’s abdomen.
Its unbelievably tough scales were pierced open.
A hole appeared.
“Brother Hong!”
Lei Shen’s desperate scream echoed across the sky.
Wrapped in lightning, he shot directly towards the wound.
“Woo!”
Feeling the black clothed human enter its body, the enraged Golden Horned Beast lashed out at the bald man surrounded by lightning.
Buzz!
Terrifying force swept across Lei Shen.
Splatter!
Blood and flesh exploded everywhere.
Everything below his waist was reduced to bloody fragments.
Only his upper body survived because of the close fitting armour Luo Feng had given him.
Whoosh!
He did not retreat.
Even after sacrificing the entire lower half of his body.
He still charged forward.
He knew perfectly well the horrifying price Hong would pay for entering the beast’s body to unleash his ultimate technique.
Their battle plan had always included one conclusion.
The best way to kill the Golden Horned Beast.
Was from inside its body.
“Even if I die.
I’ll kill it!”
Half of a white figure.
Eyes bloodshot.
Filled with absolute madness.
Wrapped in crackling lightning.
Lei Shen’s remaining upper body shot straight into the wound.
“Woo!”
The Golden Horned Beast roared furiously.
But those two hateful humans had already entered deep within its flesh.
…
The entire world fell silent.
Luo Feng stared fixedly at the screen.
The furious Golden Horned Beast.
Alongside the replay shown on the right side.
Again and again.
The replay showed Hong.
Blood oozing from every pore of his skin like a demon from legend.
Piercing through the Golden Horned Beast’s scales and forcing his way inside.
Then.
Lei Shen.
Reduced to only half his body.
Still charging fearlessly into the beast’s body.
Determined to kill the Devouring Beast.
Even at the cost of his own life.
