“Devouring Beast.”
“Haha, a living Devouring Beast.”
Tolui, Alman, and Abrot, the three team leaders, howled with excitement, while the other members of the team were equally thrilled. They all knew the rules of the Noran Clan well—greater achievements meant greater rewards! If they captured a living Devouring Beast, the reward would surely be astonishing.
How could they not be thrilled?
“Wait!” Tolui suddenly shouted.
“Alman, Abrot, you two lead the team to chase the Devouring Beast. I’ll join you shortly,” Tolui ordered.
“Don’t worry.”
Alman and Abrot quickly led the others into the distant horizon, while Tolui remained suspended in midair. Instantly, his consciousness entered the ‘Virtual Cosmic Network,’ and he sent an email to his immediate superior—”Lord Pra, the Golden-Horned Giant Beast is not dead. It is alive! It has reappeared on Earth! This is the video recorded by the other members!” He attached the video as well.
…
Then Tolui instantly exited the Virtual Cosmic Network.
“Plunge!”
Tolui’s body fell just into the sea, splashing up white waves. Since his physical body had been unconscious, it naturally began to fall straight down.
“Hmph, the clan has been notified. Now…” Tolui flew out from the sea, licked his lips, and his eyes gleamed green. “It’s time for me to earn credit!”
“Capture the Golden-Horned Giant Beast alive, hahaha…”
Tolui transformed into a streak of light at an astonishing speed and shot forward in pursuit.
In just a short while, Tolui saw ahead, in the airspace above the ocean, a group of Noran Warriors wearing battle suits, their appearances varied, all hovering in place.
“What’s going on?” Tolui roared angrily. “Why aren’t you pursuing?”
“Captain.”
Alman and Abrot turned around. “The Devouring Beast is right at the bottom of the sea, visible to the naked eye. But Captain, can you smell the blood in the air?”
“Blood?”
Tolui sniffed.
A ninth-stage Cosmic-Level warrior’s senses, both hearing and smell, were far superior to ordinary people. Upon careful inspection, he could detect the pervasive scent of blood.
“We tried contacting the other members earlier, but none of them responded.”
“Not a single reply.”
“All the eighth and seventh-stage Cosmic-Level members are the same.”
Alman and Abrot said solemnly. This caused Tolui’s heart to tremble—none of the other members had responded? That was too shocking. They had only separated a few minutes ago. In such a short time, all 44 members were dead? Tolui asked himself. Although he ranked in the top ten among the 8,000 Noran Warriors, even he would need sufficient time to kill all 44 members alone.
“Is this Devouring Beast really that powerful?” Tolui frowned deeply, gazing down at the sea below.
With his vision…
He could indeed see a dark shadow at the bottom of the sea!
“Beep.” The intelligent light computer on Tolui’s wrist sounded, “Long-range scan.”
“Master, the strength of the Star-Devouring Beast below is at the seventh stage of Cosmic-Level.”
“Seventh stage?”
A group of Noran Warriors hovering in midair exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.
…
About two thousand meters below the ocean surface.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast, as large as a continuous mountain range, lay coiled at the bottom of the sea. Its body was about seven hundred meters long, with a scaled tail almost equal in length.
Yes!
Seventh-stage Cosmic-Level!
When Luo Feng first left Earth for the Qiulong Star, the Golden-Horned Giant Beast was only at the fourth stage of Cosmic-Level. According to its normal cultivation rate…
The first three Cosmic-Level stages could be completed in a year and a half.
Each of the fourth, fifth, and sixth stages required two years to break through.
Each of the seventh, eighth, and ninth stages required twelve years to break through.
Breaking through from the ninth stage of Cosmic-Level to the first stage of Cosmic Lord required over fifty years.
Back then, after Luo Feng sold the Arc Blade Disc, he spent hundreds of billions of Heilong Coins to purchase massive amounts of metal compounds, increasing his evolution efficiency by 51 times. After returning, Luo Feng trained on Earth for a little over a month before the cosmic adventurers arrived. Three months later, the family fleet came but left out of fear of the Empire’s Constitution, secretly leaving behind an elite squad under the guise of space pirates.
It was only six or seven days later that Luo Feng fought against the remaining elite squad.
In other words!
Luo Feng used that metal with 51 times increased evolution efficiency for about four and a half months!
Four and a half months with 51 times evolution efficiency was equivalent to 19 years of normal evolution!
The fourth to sixth Cosmic-Level stages required four years; the sixth to seventh stages required twelve years. Therefore… the Golden-Horned Giant Beast was now indeed at the seventh Cosmic-Level. If another two or three months passed, its body would reach the eighth Cosmic-Level.
…
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast at the seventh Cosmic-Level!
How powerful was it?
It should be known that some elites who received special training and wielded powerful mental-energy weapons could fight opponents two or three stages higher! For example, Luo Feng could easily fight opponents three or four stages higher. Of course, the main reason was that Earth’s experts had no systematic training and lacked good weapons, so it was not surprising that they were easily overpowered by Luo Feng.
In the vast universe.
Elites cultivated by major powers fighting opponents two or three stages higher was quite normal!
What about the Golden-Horned Giant Beast?
If matched against the same level, the Golden-Horned Giant Beast could be called invincible! Only an extremely rare genius might defeat it at the same level. Such a being would be a monstrous freak!
Back then, the Golden-Horned Giant Beast was at the first Cosmic-Level.
Hong and Leishen were hailed as invincible at the Stellar-Level, both wielding their own domains! At first, they burned their souls in battle, yet still failed to breach the scaled armor of the Golden-Horned Colossus. In the end, it was Hong—having ascended to the second level of his domain—who unleashed his ultimate technique, finally shattering its defenses! It wasn’t that the first Cosmic-Level was overwhelmingly powerful, but rather… the Golden-Horned Colossus was simply a monstrous existence!
Back then, Luo Feng burned his soul and used the secret techniques of the Yumose Star lineage to attack the severely injured Golden-Horned Giant Beast…
He couldn’t even penetrate the Golden-Horned Giant Beast’s soul defenses.
In the end, it was the attack from the ‘Inheritance Soul Seal’ left by his teacher that finally broke through the Golden-Horned Giant Beast! The reason it was so difficult to kill it back then was precisely because the Golden-Horned Giant Beast was too monstrous!
…
In the universe, among human geniuses, there are some who can kill ninth-stage Cosmic-Level beings at the seventh stage.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast at the seventh Cosmic-Level?
For a seventh-stage Cosmic-Level human, the Golden-Horned Giant Beast could directly use its Devouring Talent Secret Technique to kill them with ease. Killing eighth-stage Cosmic-Level humans was completely overwhelming! If facing ninth-stage Cosmic-Level humans…
It could still gain the upper hand and kill one or two.
But against a group of ninth-stage Cosmic-Level humans…
It would still be very troublesome!
Even more importantly, among these ninth-stage Cosmic-Level humans, there were also powerful individuals.
Like Tolui, who was worth ten ordinary ninth-stage Cosmic-Level warriors combined! Even among the same level, there were differences in combat power.
Therefore…
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast chose to fight in the sea, where its power was unaffected. However, the Noran Warriors were affected.
…
Above the ocean.
“Listen to my command.”
“Three squads, attack from three directions! I don’t believe a seventh-stage Devouring Beast can win against our fifteen Noran Warriors!” Tolui’s green eyes gleamed with ferocity.
“Capture the Devouring Beast alive,” Alman roared.
“Yes, capture it alive,” Abrot shouted.
“Attack!”
Tolui’s loud command rang out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three squads transformed into three streaks of light like chains, directly plunging into the sea.
…
A distance of 2000 meters was practically a joke for warriors of this level!
“Wu——”
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast, as large as a continuous mountain range, joyfully emitted a cry, raised its head, and its two enormous dark golden eyes looked upward at the three lightning-fast squads rushing from above to the ocean floor.
“Boom!!!”
Its massive scaled tail, like a giant serpent, pierced through the water and swept directly toward one of the elite squads. “Attack!!!” Alman, the squad leader, roared. Instantly, ordinary energy weapons emitted dazzling light and directly bombarded the sweeping scaled tail. Alman himself wielded a first-stage energy weapon.
Yes!
The Noran Warriors were equipped with energy weapons (battle suits) and mental-energy weapons (battle suits). However, based on combat effectiveness, ordinary Noran Warriors generally used common energy weapons, which were cheap. More capable warriors, like Alman and Abrot, wielded first-stage energy weapons, which provided additional combat effectiveness.
And warriors like Tolui, who were absolute elites, were equipped with ‘second-stage energy (mental-energy) weapons,’ which best suited their Cosmic-Level combat power.
“Boom~~”
The scaled tail was slippery and swift, colliding with two energy weapons before quickly retreating.
“My hands are numb.”
“Powerful indeed.” Alman shouted proudly.
Observing the scene, Tolui, who was commanding the entire battle, couldn’t help but smile. Facing an opponent two stages lower, even though it was the famous Golden-Horned Giant Beast. However, his side consisted of five warriors per squad, working together in attacks! If they couldn’t withstand the pressure even like this, then the opponent was just too monstrous.
“Surround and attack!” Tolui ordered.
“Got it.” Alman roared with excitement.
“Kill.” Abrot’s eyes gleamed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, it seemed as if the sky and earth were collapsing. The three Noran Warrior squads fiercely surrounded and attacked the Golden-Horned Giant Beast. Although the Golden-Horned Giant Beast was indeed powerful, against fifteen Noran Warriors who were well-coordinated and thoroughly trained by the Noran Clan, it could only struggle desperately. It was completely at a disadvantage.
“Wu——” A high-pitched, frenzied cry rang out.
The black horn on the Golden-Horned Giant Beast’s head, covered in dense golden patterns, suddenly blazed with dazzling light. Then golden streams of light surged along the golden patterns to its four hooves, tail, and wings.
One of its three innate secret techniques—Enhancement!
“The big guy is going all out.” Alman shouted.
“Don’t kill it, capture it alive.” Tolui yelled.
“Boom~~”
Its massive hoof slammed down powerfully. Abrot and four other members fiercely deployed their weapons. “Boom~~” The hoof of the Golden-Horned Giant Beast fiercely struck three energy weapons. The massive, mountain-like body of the Golden-Horned Giant Beast staggered slightly, while Abrot and his four teammates were instantly scattered by the attack. Two of them even spat out blood with a cry.
“How come it’s suddenly so strong?”
“Is it really that monstrous?”
Alman and Abrot stared wide-eyed. How could it, two stages lower, still overpower five human experts?
