In the deep, dark sea, Luo Feng and five others swiftly descended. Luo Feng wore the Moyun Armor, while the other five were clad in the Heishen Suit. With their physical strength alone, they could easily dive into the ocean’s depths.
“Luo Feng, the Devourer lies 1,200 meters beneath the seabed. If we get too close, won’t it awaken it? Won’t it interrupt your secret technique?” asked Tripati Singh from India, glancing nervously at the others, who also turned to Luo Feng. This mission was entirely under Luo Feng’s command.
After all, none of them understood the secret technique.
“Don’t worry,” Luo Feng replied calmly. With a thought, the Liuyin Guard—dressed in black combat gear—materialized beside him.
“Huh?”
The other five were startled by the sudden appearance of the Liuyin Guard. Examining its face, they realized it wasn’t human—it was a special ‘robot’ that had appeared before when rescuing Hong and Thunder.
“This is something I discovered in an ancient ruin,” Luo Feng said as he landed on the seabed, followed by the others.
“Call a smart fighter here,” Luo Feng ordered.
“What for?” The five looked at each other in confusion.
A smart fighter could travel land, sea, and air, but why bring it underwater?
“After the secret technique, you will die. I will have the fighter carry your bodies away. As for me, I will fight the Devourer immediately,” Luo Feng explained. The five nodded, understanding their role as sacrifices—offering their strength to empower Luo Feng for a short time.
As for Luo Feng, he might not survive at all.
Whoosh!
The smart fighter from above dove swiftly into the ocean and arrived in no time.
“Sit down, close your eyes, and do not resist,” Luo Feng commanded.
“We understand.”
Mohan Hansen, East, Tripati Singh, Jia Yi, and Sokolov exchanged glances, their faces bearing strange smiles—expressions that held a soul-shaking charm.
The five sat cross-legged.
Together with Luo Feng, they formed six points—the precise requirement for the “Sacrificial Rite” of the *Six-Pointed Star* Arcane Art.
“Begin.”
Luo Feng closed his eyes.
Within his consciousness lay three miniature planets. The central one was obtained when he first reached the Star Level. The other two emerged as he advanced to Star Level Two and Three. These two planets orbited the central one like Earth around the sun.
The central planet was the largest.
All three were blood-red, emitting thin red mists that drifted into a massive object filling nearly his entire consciousness—the Void Tower!
A colossal blood-red tower, its interior vast as the cosmos, with Luo Feng’s three miniature planets inside.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Five blood-red threads shot out from the Void Tower, leaving Luo Feng’s body. Strangely, in the physical world, these threads were completely transparent. They entered the consciousness of Mohan Hansen, East, Tripati Singh, Jia Yi, and Sokolov.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Their souls ignited instantly!
…
On the ocean floor, six figures sat cross-legged.
As the five souls blazed, unseen undulations shimmered around their forms. A torrential wave of psychic energy, meticulously guided by Luo Feng’s will, coursed through the intricate Six-Pointed Star Array. The mystical currents converged at its pulsating heart—Luo Feng himself—before being absorbed into the ethereal Void Tower that loomed within his mindscape.
The five grew weaker.
Luo Feng grew stronger.
The five who sacrificed themselves wore faint smiles.
…
In the European Union’s Paris Base City, on a large screen by the street.
“Six figures have stopped moving underwater. The strongest life signal in the center is Luo Feng. To his left, the second strongest is East…” The live broadcast echoed through the streets, drawing crowds of European men and women, all silently watching.
“Their signals are weakening! Mohan Hansen, East, Tripati Singh, Jia Yi, Sokolov— their life forces are fading! Luo Feng’s life force is growing stronger!”
On the screen, six figures were displayed. Five were dimming, while Luo Feng’s grew brighter.
Suddenly—
The five figures vanished entirely. The life detectors could no longer sense them.
“Oh.”
“My God.”
Crowds on the street instinctively covered their faces. They knew—no life signal meant death.
“This is Mohan Hansen’s fighter. It has already left port. According to our knowledge, the fighter carries five bodies—the heroes Mohan Hansen, East, Tripati Singh, Jia Yi, and Sokolov! They sacrificed themselves for humanity! Remember them forever!”
“LUO FENG!!!”
“Luo Feng is approaching the Devourer rapidly!”
The voice suddenly tensed.
On the screen, Luo Feng’s life signal dove swiftly toward an immense, monstrous presence.
“Let us pray!”
“Pray for Luo Feng’s victory!”
Everyone on the street clasped their hands to their chests, eyes fixed on the screen.
…
At that moment, countless people across Earth were praying, hoping… hoping for victory.
…
Beneath the seabed rock layers.
Luo Feng dove rapidly.
“800 meters, 600 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters!” Babata continuously updated Luo Feng on the distance to the Devourer. “200 meters!”
Luo Feng abruptly halted.
The surrounding rocks cracked open.
“Golden Horned Beast, die!” Luo Feng’s eyes blazed with fury.
Within his consciousness.
Inside the vast Void Tower, two miniature planets orbited the central one. Suddenly—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three miniature planets transformed into ‘fireballs.’ More accurately, torrents of blood-red mist erupted from them, merging into the Void Tower. Already glowing from absorbing the mental energy of five powerful warriors, the Void Tower began to spin rapidly.
Spinning faster and faster!
The tower blurred, its tip glowing with a brilliant light.
“All those years of cultivation, gone,” Babata sighed, sitting on a recliner within the intelligent space on Luo Feng’s wrist. “I hope… I hope he can retain some foundation like Hong and Thunder, entering a dormant slumber. At least that wouldn’t mean death.”
…
Luo Feng felt his body weakening rapidly.
“Go!”
Whoosh!
An invisible ‘Void Tower’—spinning like a sharp cone—shot through 200 meters and pierced the Golden Horned Beast’s body.
“Wu—” A furious roar erupted.
Boom! Boom!
The surrounding rock shattered. Luo Feng saw the enraged Golden Horned Beast, its dark golden eyes glaring at him. But in an instant—”Shua! Shua!”—two Liuyin Guards blocked Luo Feng.
“Its consciousness isn’t in its head!” Luo Feng’s expression changed.
The Void Tower had entered the Golden Horned Beast’s head but found no soul. Now he understood—why destroying its head hadn’t killed it. Unlike humans or other beasts, the Golden Horned Beast’s consciousness and soul weren’t located in its head!
Instantly, the Void Tower moved down the neck and into the beast’s torso!
Whoosh!
The Void Tower swept through.
For a mental energy construct, flesh posed no obstacle.
“Here!”
Inside the beast’s body was a golden, glowing, transparent crystal sphere about twenty centimeters in diameter. Its surface was engraved with complex golden runes, radiating golden light. As Luo Feng’s Void Tower swept past, it encountered strong resistance.
The soul was inside!
Crash!
The spinning Void Tower slammed directly into the crystal sphere!
…
“Wu! Wu!” The Golden Horned Beast roared furiously within the rock layers. Its scaly wings were razor-sharp, like two massive cleavers. Its claws were swift and deadly, its tail swift and unpredictable. Now, all were attacking Luo Feng’s body relentlessly.
The two Liuyin Guards fought desperately to block the attacks.
“Not good! Its soul defense is too strong!” Luo Feng’s face turned pale.
Suddenly, his expression twisted, and he gritted his teeth: “I’m going all in!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three visible miniature planets shot out from Luo Feng’s consciousness. “Boom!” His consciousness separated from his body, beginning to collapse instantly!
…
“No! Luo Feng, no!!!” Babata screamed in horror within the intelligent space on Luo Feng’s wrist.
Hong and Thunder had burned their souls, but never removed them from their bodies!
Luo Feng was now abandoning his original body, fully merging his soul into the Void Tower! This meant leaving no path back. It would unleash the ultimate attack—but even if he succeeded, his original body and consciousness would be destroyed. He would never return!
…
“Die! Die! Die!”
Luo Feng’s consciousness radiated an unshakable belief, maddened with fury!
His soul fully merged into the Void Tower!
The Void Tower, like a sharp cone, furiously pierced the golden-crystal sphere covered in glowing runes! Within the Void Tower, the three miniature planets burned and shrank rapidly.
“Why won’t it break?”
“Why won’t it break!!!” Luo Feng screamed in desperation.
…
“Aowww~~~”
The Golden Horned Beast thrashed its head violently, smashing the surrounding rocks. The soul-based attack caused it unbearable pain. Worse yet, just hours ago, its soul had already suffered a severe wound. This human attack was no less powerful than the last!
…
“Break! Break! Break!”
Luo Feng’s consciousness raged.
He wasn’t afraid of death!
But he feared failure!!!
Inside the Void Tower, the three soul-planets burned smaller and smaller. Puff! Puff! Two smaller ones vanished entirely. Only the central soul planet remained—now just a third of its original size. It too burned furiously, pouring massive mental energy into the Void Tower.
Burning, burning!
It shrank further!
Luo Feng felt his consciousness fading. He knew… he was dying.
“Kill it! Kill it! Kill it!!!”
…
In Yangzhou City of the Jiangnan Base, on the streets.
An old man with white hair, a baby crying for milk—everyone on the street stared at the screen in tension. Among them stood Wei Wen, eyes locked on the screen, trembling with anxiety: “Luo Feng, Luo Feng, my brother, you must survive, survive!”
On the screen!
Luo Feng’s life signal was now entangled with the Devourer’s—clearly locked in battle!
Breathless!
The entire world held its breath.
Boom!
The two entangled signals erupted violently, intensifying as if a dying star had exploded!
Then…
They rapidly weakened!
“The signals are fading, fading, fading!” The broadcast finally sounded. “We can’t distinguish whose signal it is—they’re completely mixed. Still fading!”
Wei Wen’s eyes widened.
Xu Xin, Luo Hongguo, Gong Xinlan, Luo Hua, and others watching the TV were equally tense.
The entire world was on edge!
…
On the screen, the life signals continued to weaken…
Puff!
They vanished!
The life signal projections on the screen disappeared entirely—both Luo Feng and the Devourer were gone!
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
“Dead?”
“Did both Luo Feng and the Devourer die?”
People across Earth had seen the Devourer come back to life before. They watched anxiously!
One minute, two minutes, three minutes…
No life signal reappeared from the Devourer or Luo Feng.
Silence fell across the world!
…
At 16:10 Chinese time, three Star-Level warriors from humanity dove into the deep sea and discovered the Devourer’s massive corpse. However, they couldn’t penetrate its scales.
The news spread, and the world erupted in celebration!
“The Devourer is dead! It’s truly dead!”
“Remember their names!”
“Hong, Thunder, Mohan Hansen, East, Tripati Singh, Jia Yi, Sokolov, and Luo Feng! They saved everyone on Earth. They gave us hope!”
“Just like the myth of Prometheus, who stole fire and suffered endlessly, giving humanity flame. Like Nuwa, who mended the sky and exhausted herself, giving humanity sky and earth.”
“Hong, Thunder, Mohan Hansen, East, Tripati Singh, Jia Yi, Sokolov, and Luo Feng!”
“They gave us the hope to survive.”
“Remember these eight forever!”
“The oldest was 89, the youngest just 22!”
…
At 16:25, massive swarms of beasts gathered at that sea area, including many King-Level beasts. Humanity immediately retreated, unable to enter the ocean depths.
That night, across the globe, the oceanic beasts that had relentlessly attacked human bases rapidly withdrew!
When the sun rose the next day…
Earth returned to peace.
…
Human history had turned a new page.
