“Devouring Beast.”
“Haha, a living Devouring Beast.”
Tuo Leiwu, Alman, and Aburote, the three squad captains, excitedly roared. The other team members were all extremely excited as well.
They knew the rules of the Nuolan Shan family very well. The greater the contribution, the greater the reward.
If they captured a living Devouring Beast, the reward would definitely be astonishing.
How could they not be excited?
“Wait, something is wrong.” Tuo Leiwu immediately stopped.
“Alman, Aburote, take your people and chase the Devouring Beast first. I will come later.”
Tuo Leiwu gave the order.
“Understood.”
Alman and Aburote led the others and quickly disappeared into the distant sky, while Tuo Leiwu remained hovering in mid-air.
His consciousness instantly entered the Virtual Universe network, and he sent an email to his direct superior.
“Lord Pula, the Golden Horned Beast is not dead. It is still alive! It has appeared on Earth again! This is a video recorded by the other team members.”
At the same time, he sent the video.
After that, Tuo Leiwu immediately exited the Virtual Universe network.
Plop!
Tuo Leiwu’s body happened to fall into the sea, creating white waves.
Because his physical body had been unconscious earlier, it naturally began falling straight down.
“Mm, I have informed the family. Now…”
Tuo Leiwu flew out of the seawater, licked his lips, and his eyes shone with a green light.
“Now it is time for me to make my contribution!”
“Capture the Golden Horned Beast alive, hahaha…”
Tuo Leiwu transformed into a streak of light and chased after it at astonishing speed.
In just a moment, Tuo Leiwu saw a group of Nuolan Guards hovering in the air ahead. They wore battle suits and had different appearances.
“What is going on?” Tuo Leiwu shouted angrily. “Why are you not chasing?”
“Captain.”
Alman and Aburote turned around.
“The Devouring Beast is in the sea below. We can see it even with our naked eyes. But, Captain, do you smell the scent of blood?”
“The scent of blood?”
Tuo Leiwu sniffed.
A Stellar Level ninth rank expert had hearing and smell far beyond ordinary people. After carefully sensing, he could smell the bloody scent spreading through the surroundings.
“We contacted the other team members just now. Not a single one replied.”
“There was no response at all.”
“All the Stellar Level eighth rank and seventh rank team members are the same.”
Alman and Aburote spoke seriously.
Tuo Leiwu’s heart trembled.
All the other team members had no response?
This was too unbelievable.
The two sides had only been separated for a few minutes. In such a short time, had all forty-four team members died?
Tuo Leiwu knew that although he ranked among the top ten of the eight thousand Nuolan Guards, if he wanted to kill those forty-four team members alone, he could do it.
However, it would require enough time.
“This Devouring Beast is this powerful?”
Tuo Leiwu frowned deeply and looked down at the ocean.
With his eyesight…
He could indeed see that faint black shadow deep in the sea.
“Beep.”
The intelligent optical computer on Tuo Leiwu’s wrist sounded.
“Long-range test.”
“Master, the starry sky beast below has Stellar Level seventh rank strength.”
“Seventh rank?”
The group of Nuolan Guards hovering in the sky looked at each other and began discussing quietly.
About two thousand metres below the sea surface.
The Golden Horned Beast, whose body resembled an endless mountain range, was lying on the ocean floor.
Its body was over seven hundred metres long, and its scale-covered tail was almost the same length as its body.
That’s right!
Stellar Level seventh rank!
When Luo Feng first left Earth for the Dragon Star, the Golden Horned Beast was only Stellar Level fourth rank.
According to the Golden Horned Beast’s normal cultivation speed…
The first three levels of Stellar Level together required one and a half years.
For Stellar Level fourth, fifth, and sixth ranks, each breakthrough required two years.
For Stellar Level seventh, eighth, and ninth ranks, each breakthrough required twelve years.
Breaking through from Stellar Level ninth rank to Universe Level first rank required more than fifty years.
Back then, after Luo Feng sold the Arc Blade Disc, he spent over ten billion Black Dragon Coins purchasing a large amount of metal combinations, increasing the evolution efficiency by 51 times.
After returning, Luo Feng cultivated on Earth for a little over a month. Then the universe adventurers arrived.
Three months later, the family fleet arrived, but because of imperial law, they were forced to leave.
They only secretly left behind an elite squad to act under the identity of space pirates.
After another six or seven days, Luo Feng finally fought against the remaining elite squad.
In other words…
Luo Feng used the metal that increased evolution efficiency by 51 times and cultivated for almost four and a half months.
Four and a half months with 51 times evolution efficiency was equivalent to nearly nineteen years of normal evolution.
From Stellar Level fourth rank to sixth rank required four years.
From sixth rank to seventh rank required twelve years.
Therefore, the Golden Horned Beast had indeed reached Stellar Level seventh rank.
If another two or three months passed, its body would become Stellar Level eighth rank.
A Stellar Level seventh rank Golden Horned Beast!
How strong was it?
One must know that some elites who received special guidance and possessed powerful spirit weapons could fight across two or three ranks.
For example, Luo Feng himself could easily fight across three or four ranks back then.
Of course, the main reason was that Earth’s experts had no systematic cultivation methods and lacked powerful weapons. It was only natural that Luo Feng could overpower them.
In the vast universe.
The elites cultivated by major forces normally fighting across two or three ranks was completely normal.
But the Golden Horned Beast?
At the same level and rank, the Golden Horned Beast could be called invincible.
Only an extremely tiny, extremely tiny, extremely tiny probability existed where an unparalleled genius of the same level could defeat a Golden Horned Beast.
Such an existence would be monstrously abnormal.
Back then, the Golden Horned Beast was only Stellar Level first rank.
Hong and Thunder God were both known as invincible at Planetary Level, and they possessed Domains.
When they first burned their souls, they could not even break through the Golden Horned Beast’s scales.
In the end, only Hong, who had reached the second level of Domain, could use his strongest attack to break through.
It was not because Stellar Level first rank was that strong, but because the Golden Horned Beast was simply too abnormal.
When Luo Feng burned his soul and used the secret techniques of the Meteorite Star lineage to attack the heavily injured Golden Horned Beast…
He could not break through its soul defence at all.
Only the “Inheritance Soul Seal” left behind by his teacher, which burned and transformed into an attack, managed to break through the Golden Horned Beast.
The reason that battle had been so difficult was because the Golden Horned Beast was simply too terrifying.
Among human geniuses in the universe, there were some who could independently kill Stellar Level ninth rank fighters while only being Stellar Level seventh rank.
A Stellar Level seventh rank Golden Horned Beast?
Against Stellar Level seventh rank humans, it could directly use its Devouring talent secret technique to kill 99.99% of them.
Simple and effortless.
Against Stellar Level eighth rank humans, it could completely crush them.
Against Stellar Level ninth rank humans, although it could gain the upper hand and kill one or two, facing a group of Stellar Level ninth rank humans…
It would still be troublesome.
More importantly, among those Stellar Level ninth rank humans, there were also powerful individuals.
For example, Tuo Leiwu alone was equivalent to ten ordinary Stellar Level ninth rank fighters.
Even at the same level and rank, combat power still differed.
Therefore…
The Golden Horned Beast stayed in the sea.
In the sea, its strength was unaffected, while the Nuolan Guards were affected.
Above the ocean.
“Listen to my command.”
“Three squads. Attack from three directions at the same time! I refuse to believe that a Stellar Level seventh rank Devouring Beast can defeat fifteen Nuolan Guards!”
Tuo Leiwu’s green eyes released a fierce light.
“Capture the Devouring Beast alive.” Alman roared.
“Yes, capture it alive.” Aburote also shouted.
“Attack!”
Tuo Leiwu’s loud voice rang out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three squads transformed into three chains of light and rushed directly into the seawater.
……
A distance of two thousand metres was nothing in a battle at this level.
“Roar!”
The Golden Horned Beast, resembling a continuous mountain range, happily roared.
It raised its head, and its enormous dark golden eyes looked towards the three lightning-fast squads rushing down from above.
“Boom!!!”
Its enormous scale-covered tail was like a giant serpent piercing through the seawater, directly sweeping towards one of the elite squads.
“Attack!”
The squad captain Alman roared.
Instantly, one ordinary energy weapon after another released dazzling light and bombarded the incoming scale-covered tail.
The squad captain Alman was even using a first-tier energy weapon.
That’s right.
The equipment of the Nuolan Guards consisted of energy weapons, battle suits, spirit weapons, and battle suits.
However, based on combat power, ordinary Nuolan Guards generally used ordinary energy weapons because they were cheap.
Stronger ones like Alman and Aburote used first-tier energy weapons, which provided additional combat power.
As for absolute elites like Tuo Leiwu, they were equipped with second-tier energy weapons and spirit weapons, which could fully display their Stellar Level combat power.
“Boom~~”
The scale-covered tail was slippery and extremely fast.
It collided with two energy weapons before quickly disappearing.
“My hands are numb.”
“Quite powerful.”
Alman shouted proudly.
Seeing this, Tuo Leiwu, who was controlling the entire battle, smiled.
Facing an opponent two ranks lower, although it was the famous Golden Horned Beast, their side consisted of a five-man squad working together.
If they still could not withstand it, that would be truly abnormal.
“Surround it!” Tuo Leiwu ordered.
“Alright!” Alman roared excitedly.
“Kill.” Aburote’s eyes shone.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
For a moment, it was as if heaven and earth were collapsing.
The three Nuolan Guard squads crazily surrounded and attacked the Golden Horned Beast.
The Golden Horned Beast was indeed extremely powerful, but against fifteen Nuolan Guards who were highly skilled at cooperation and had received careful training from the Nuolan Shan family, it could only struggle desperately.
It was completely at a disadvantage.
“Roar!”
A high and furious roar sounded.
The dense golden patterns on the black horns of the Golden Horned Beast’s head suddenly lit up, becoming dazzling.
Then golden streams of light flowed along the golden patterns to its four claws, tail, and wings.
One of the three innate secret techniques, Enhancement!
“The big guy is fighting seriously now.” Alman shouted.
“Don’t kill it. Capture it alive.” Tuo Leiwu shouted repeatedly.
“Boom~~”
The enormous claw suddenly stomped down.
Aburote and the other five team members crazily used their weapons.
With a loud boom, the Golden Horned Beast’s claw fiercely stepped onto three energy weapons.
The Golden Horned Beast’s mountain-like body staggered slightly.
Meanwhile, Aburote and the other five team members were directly scattered by the impact.
Two of them even vomited blood.
“It suddenly became this strong?”
“Isn’t this too abnormal?”
Alman and Aburote widened their eyes.
Despite being two ranks lower, it could still break through the combined defence of five human experts?
