“Boom~” “Boom~~”
The Golden-Horned Beast’s power had clearly surged after its enhancement. Every clawed step, every lash of its tail, every beat of its wings carried far greater force than before. The three squads no longer retained their initial sense of playful superiority—instead, they found themselves straining under the pressure. The battle had now tipped into a state of perfect equilibrium between both sides.
“Captain!” Arman and Abroth shouted, each word transmitted through Primordial Energy.
The principle of Primordial Energy (genetic primal energy) voice transmission is very simple.
It involves channeling Primordial Energy to achieve the effect of a telephone line, allowing sound to rapidly propagate to the desired location. This is a common small trick used by warriors throughout the universe. For psychokineticists and martial artists who possess mental energy and primal energy, they naturally possess some techniques different from ordinary humans, and Primordial Energy voice transmission is one of them.
“Begin!”
Torewu’s eyes gleamed with excitement as the refined and powerful stellar energy coursed through his entire body, even merging into the battle-axe held in both hands.
“Understood!” Arman and Abroth also became excited.
Yes!
It’s time for the ultimate move!
Fifteen Norlan Guards would struggle to execute a coordinated and devastating group assault, whereas Torewu, Arman, and Abroth could achieve optimal synergy and unleash their most formidable offensive. With Arman and Abroth providing support and Torewu leading the charge, they would deliver a fearsome and overwhelming strike.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
Three dazzling beams of light converged as one, then a radiant, indistinct golden battle-axe cleaved straight toward the Golden Horned Beast.
“Wu——”
The Golden-Horned Beast didn’t even try to evade, striding forward with its thick, powerful clawed foot like a celestial pillar! Torewu and the others seemed to disdain attacking other areas—or perhaps they feared killing the Golden-Horned Beast—so they chose instead… a direct clash! The golden battle-axe met the beast’s claw in a thunderous collision!
“Wu——” A roar of anger and pain rang out.
Blood sprayed, scales shattered on the clawed foot, and a huge wound appeared at the bottom of the footpad, almost splitting the entire foot in half.
“That guy’s scale armor is incredibly tough.”
“Hit it a few more times.”
“Hurt it, then capture it alive.”
“Haha, let’s go.”
Torewu and the other two captains were brimming with excitement. A dozen Nuo Lan Guards hovered in the seawater at a distance, merely spectating the unfolding drama. The wounded Golden-Horned Behemoth’s eyes glinted with a sliver of icy malice as its maw gaped once more. An object shrouded in Primordial Energy shot forth—it was… a shattered blade?
No, it was precisely Luo Feng’s ultimate weapon—the fragment of the Crimson Chaos Copper Mother!
The Golden Horned Beast, in its ‘innate enhancement state,’ amplified by those mysterious golden runes, had elevated every aspect of its abilities, including speed and even the power of its soul attacks. What kind of power would emerge when the enhanced Golden Horned Beast merged with the fragments of the Red Copper Mother?
“Xiu xiu xiu xiu~~~”
The fragment of the Crimson Chaos Copper whirled and danced like a streak of light, instantly sweeping past the three captains—Torewu and the others.
“That’s——”
Torewu’s eyes widened in shock, but the streak of light had already reached his eyes. His hard skull was directly sliced open, followed by the heads of the two captains beside him, directly cut open—they were instantly killed.
Dead!
The three captains died in an instant!
This scene utterly astonished the twelve Norlan Guards watching from afar.
“Heavens!”
“That’s impossible!”
“Run!!!” One of the Nuolan Guards immediately turned and fled, while the others snapped out of their daze and without hesitation chose to scatter in all directions.
“Xiu xiu xiu xiu~~~”
A crimson streak flashed—swifter than thought, far outpacing the fleeing Nalan Guards. It traced a ghostly arc, like skewering candied hawthorns, puncturing each guard’s skull in succession. In less than 0.001 seconds, all twelve Nalan Guards had been pierced through the head, their fates sealed beyond reversal.
The Golden-Horned Beast’s glacial eyes, as vast as mountains, swept across the lifeless bodies. The crimson muscles on its wounded limb stretched continuously, swiftly knitting back together.
Whoosh!
The Golden-Horned Beast vanished.
A figure clad in crimson battle armor materialized from the void, his jet-black hair whipping in the tempestuous winds. As the Golden Horned Beast vanished on an unimaginable scale, the displaced ocean waters came roaring back with furious vengeance, creating violent whirlpools where the colossal creature had once been.
“The test was relatively successful.”
“I now have a clear grasp of the Golden Horned Beast’s power.”
“Hmm, the Golden Horned Beast in its enhanced state combined with the strongest weapon—the fragment of the Crimson Chaos Copper—is indeed incredibly powerful.” Thoughts flashed through Luo Feng’s mind, then he mentally ordered, “Babata, later on, slightly disguise the fragment of the Crimson Chaos Copper, at least make it unrecognizable as the Crimson Chaos Copper.”
After giving the order.
Luo Feng, amidst the turbulent underwater currents, cast a glance at the lifeless bodies of the Nuo Lan Guards surrounding him, a faint smirk playing at the corners of his lips. The outcome of this battle had been sealed long before it even began!
…
Virtual Universe.
Pula stood respectfully and eagerly before the screen, where the three legendary patriarchs of the Norlanshan family were displayed. At that moment, the ancestral figure ‘Norlanshan,’ clad in a dark green combat suit, gazed with piercingly cold eyes that flickered with fervor: “Alive? The Golden Horned Beast cub is truly alive? Are you certain?”
“Yes, I’m sure. This is the video footage taken by Torewu and others just now. Please watch, Clan Ancestor.” Pula answered loudly.
The video played.
“Hmm?”
Nuolanshan and the other two clan leaders fixed their piercing gazes.
“Yes, it’s the Golden-Horned Behemoth, with two horns? Judging from the horn length, it should be at the Seventh Stage of Star Level.” Nuo Lanshan nodded. “Fifteen Nuo Lan Guards working together will definitely have the upper hand against a Seventh Stage Star Level Golden-Horned Behemoth!”
“Clan Ancestor.” Both Yuke and Dewen, the two clan leaders, turned their gaze toward the revered ancestor. Dewen Nuolanshan couldn’t help but inquire: “Can the Nuolan Guards capture the Golden-Horned Behemoth alive?”
“There’s hope.”
Nolan Mountain nodded, took a deep breath, and forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Heavens!
This is the Golden-Horned Beast, the supreme bloodline of the cosmos. In terms of rarity, it surpasses even immortals. Even an immortal master would fight tooth and nail for a Golden-Horned Beast cub! As for Nuo Lanshan, a mere Ninth-Level Cosmic Adept—just a speck in the vast universe—how could he possibly have the fortune to obtain a Golden-Horned Beast cub?
Too… too incredible.
“Right! If we obtain the Golden-Horned Beast, with my title as a Pangu warrior, I can sell the Golden-Horned Beast cub through the Pangu Battle Arena, gaining astonishing benefits.” Nuo Lanshan had already planned how to deal with the Golden-Horned Beast cub. For ordinary people, such a treasure would be a hot potato.
Even Cosmic Level experts would struggle to deal with a Golden Horned Beast cub.
But Nuolanshan had a very secure passage!
“Immediately contact all the team members on Earth.”
“I wish to interrogate them myself,” commanded Patriarch Nuolan Shan.
“Yes, Clan Ancestor.” Pula respectfully replied. “I will contact each of them right away. Once the battle ends, they will immediately enter the Virtual Universe Network.”
Pula immediately began contacting the 60 team members on Earth.
Drip! Drip!
“Why isn’t anyone responding?”
“Even if they’re battling the Golden Horned Beast, the Seventh and Eighth Stage Star Level warriors shouldn’t need to join the fight, should they?”
“Silence.” Ancestor Nuolanshan huffed with disdain.
Second by second ticked away. The three clan leaders and Pula waited with bated breath. Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes… The expression of Clan Ancestor Nuolan Shan shifted from barely contained excitement to a deepening frown, then darkened further into stormy severity, before finally settling into a mask of terrifying blankness—his eyes burning with predatory intensity.
“Cease the connection. They’re gone. Every last one of them,” Nuolanshan uttered with icy detachment.
Whoosh!
Noland himself vanished from the screen, clearly having logged off the Virtual Universe Network.
The two clan leaders and Pula all wore very grim expressions.
Yes.
They all understood that those people were already dead.
For Pula’s summons were not something they could afford to disregard. Furthermore, even if they were to attempt capturing the Golden-Horned Beast alive, the Seventh and Eighth-Level Star Warriors wouldn’t need to engage in combat. Yet none of them answered… which meant even those Seventh and Eighth-Level warriors had perished. As for that squad of Ninth-Level Norlan Guards, even if they did fight, intense battles of such caliber were typically over in the blink of an eye.
So much time had passed without a single reply, obviously…
They were all dead!
This plan had failed!
…
In the boundless starry expanse of the Black Dragon Mountain, amidst over five hundred vassal states, there existed an extraordinarily powerful vassal empire—the Karuo Empire. The Karuo Empire ruled over twenty-six star systems. It must be noted that many weaker, lower-tier civilizations possessed merely two star systems! The Yinlan Empire was regarded as one of the mightier among them.
Within the territory of the Karuo Empire, there was a very famous planet—the Yinlan Planet.
The planet Yinlan served as the stronghold of the Noulan Mountain Clan. Over three thousand Noulan Guards were assembled here, alongside the standard thirty thousand Yinlan Sentinels. The sole requirement to join the Yinlan Sentinels was—reaching the Star Level! This meant that tens of thousands of Star-Level warriors were stationed on this single planet alone.
This force was simply terrifying.
The third family in the Karuo Empire!
To be hailed as the third mightiest was not solely due to Nuolanshan alone. Even if Nuolanshan was formidable, he remained but a single individual. It was the vast legion under his command that truly defined their strength! Directly ruling over more than a thousand life-bearing planets, they forged an army comprised of Star-Level elites—a force capable of striking fear into tens of thousands of neighboring life-bearing worlds. Within their own star system, they reigned supreme as the undisputed hegemon!
“Hu hu~~”
The howling cold wind.
The Yinlan Planet was famous for its coldness. In the uninhabited northernmost region of the Yinlan Planet, there was a black mountain range, where the temperature was astonishingly low.
“Suo!” “Suo!”
Two figures streaked across the sky toward the obsidian peaks. One bore the distinctive pointed ears of the Nuolan Mountain clan, while the other was shrouded in a billowing black robe, only the faintest suggestion of a curved, delicate horn visible upon his brow. Without hesitation, they plunged into one of the gaping cavern mouths that pockmarked the mountainside.
Deep within the cave.
A man dressed in dark green battle armor, exuding a chilling aura, sat cross-legged on a black rock.
“Clan Ancestor.”
“Teacher.”
The two respectfully greeted him.
“De Wen, Bai Karuo.” The man seated in a meditative posture slowly opened his eyes, his piercing gaze sweeping over the pair with an unusual hint of warmth. “You are already aware of the situation. Your mission target is Earth! The primary objective is that mechanical clan’s spacecraft. As for the Golden-Horned Behemoth cub… that will depend on fate’s whims.”
“Clan Ancestor, we still have hope to capture the cub.” De Wen quickly said.
“No.”
Clan Ancestor Nuolan Shan gently shook his head. “The Golden-Horned Behemoth is highly intelligent and cunning. After enduring this peril, it will most likely flee Earth! Then it will drift through the cosmos. By the time you reach Earth in two years, with no target left, how will you ever track it down?” Searching for a quarry amidst the void of space?
The two fell silent.
“Go!”
“Retrieve the mechanical clan’s starship. As for the Golden-Horned Beast cub, it’s merely a stroke of fate,” declared Patriarch Nuolan Shan.
“Yes, Clan Ancestor (Teacher)!” The two Cosmic Level experts respectfully accepted the order.
…
In a noisy bar corner of the Virtual Universe, Luo Feng sat with his eyes closed.
“Luofeng, I’ve already placed the order. I’ve ordered a large number of planetary defense equipment, surveillance satellites, etc. Once they’re installed, they will form a very tight defense system throughout the entire solar system! If any spacecraft appear in the solar system again, they will definitely be detected immediately.”
Hearing Babata’s words, Luo Feng was very satisfied.
This crisis was considered overcome. From what Xu Xin and others had told him after being taken hostage, the original group had a total of 80 people and four captains. One squad had gone into space because of the coordinates Luo Feng had given, while the other three squads had been killed by Luo Feng. As for the remaining squad, Luo Feng didn’t consider them a threat, but… he couldn’t be careless either!
Earth had already suffered enough from the pain of being technologically inferior.
Therefore, Luo Feng wanted to purchase a complete planetary defense system! This kind of thing was very costly. Generally, planets in the universe only had low-spec planetary defense systems, but Luo Feng chose a high-spec one.
It would soon cover the entire solar system!
The entire solar system would then be under surveillance! This was top-class in the Heilong Mountain Empire. Any stealth technology on spacecraft would be completely useless and would all be exposed.
“Additionally, I intend to establish a surveillance and early warning system around that wormhole. The moment any spacecraft traverses it, I must be alerted immediately,” declared Luo Feng. “The Nuolan Mountain clan is unlikely to surrender so readily.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already considered that.” Babata shouted.
Everything was ready.
Earth was no longer facing any security threats. Once the planetary defense system was fully operational, Luo Feng could finally rest easy. As for the Norlan Mountain family, even if they did send forces, it wouldn’t be until two years and eight months later.
“Third Brother.”
“Third Brother.”
Hong and Leishen entered the bar and walked directly toward Luo Feng. Previously, the two had already received Luo Feng’s notice that the trouble was resolved, and Luo Feng had arranged a meeting place.
“Hmm?” When Luo Feng saw them, he was surprised. He felt that his two senior brothers were somewhat different from before.
“Where did you guys go? You feel different from before.” Luo Feng hesitated slightly.
“Haha, I told you so. Third Brother has very sharp senses. He will definitely notice.” Leishen laughed.
“I thought I might have been mistaken.” Luo Feng curiously looked at the two.
“Yes, we went to a very special place.” Hong also smiled.
“What place?” Luo Feng was curious.
Hong and Leishen exchanged glances.
“Don’t keep me in suspense.” Luo Feng couldn’t help but urge.
Hong revealed a smile, enunciating each word: “The… Slaughter… Arena!”
Luo Feng frowned in confusion, murmuring to himself: “The Slaughter Arena?”
