“Brother Hong,” Thunder God smiled. “No wonder I could never beat you before. The Domain—it’s like this!”
Hong also smiled.
The Domain…
Even across the vast universe, it was considered a very high realm of attainment. Even a Cosmic-level warrior newly born to a galaxy might not possess his or her own Domain!
“Second Brother,” Hong looked at the white-robed bald youth across from him, “that Devourer went berserk all night and has long since retreated to rest beneath the sea. We must wait until it emerges before we engage it in a life-or-death battle. Therefore, I will now share with you some of my insights and applications regarding the ‘Domain.'”
Thunder God nodded.
Now that he had entered the Domain realm, he clearly understood… the Domain was unfathomably profound. He himself was merely a ‘beginner’ who had just crossed its threshold, while Hong had been within the Domain for decades—far surpassing him.
…
As Hong passed on some experience and techniques to Thunder God, the war between humanity and the sea beasts on Earth entered a brand new phase.
Over one hundred kilometers east of Jiangnan Base City, in the skies above the Hanwa Nation.
“We’ve arrived at the destination.”
A flying saucer-shaped warship hovered above a wide river. This broad river was none other than the famous Yangtze River of the Hanwa Nation.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!”
Within the Yangtze River, countless sea beasts swarmed in dense masses! One could drop a bomb and kill hundreds of them!
An innumerable swarm of sea beasts surged madly along the Yangtze River!
“Deploy Solution No.12.”
“Yes, sir!”
Suddenly, a hatch opened beneath the flying saucer warship. A greenish liquid streaked with red poured down from the aircraft into the river below. The saucer fighter swiftly flew along the river as the solution continued to pour down, flowing into the river below. Within mere seconds—
“Roar!!”
“Ga—!”
“Sssss!!!”
A cacophony of cries erupted. The Yangtze River, already teeming with aquatic beasts, suddenly boiled with chaos! Some beasts leapt painfully out of the water, while others lashed out wildly in all directions. Yet within moments, the river’s surface grew eerily calm. The number of aquatic beasts swimming in the river seemed to have drastically decreased.
…
Inside a command center within Yangzhou City.
The Hanwa Nation had six base cities. These cities were called ‘base’ cities because they were the most heavily defended locations—humanity’s final strongholds. Over the years, humans had exhausted every method imaginable to prepare defenses within these six cities.
Inside the command center, Luo Feng was with General Li Dawai, who had just withdrawn from the front.
“Damn it!” General Li’s face was grim.
“What’s wrong?” Luo Feng asked urgently.
“The sea beasts are advancing inland along the rivers!” General Li’s face darkened. “According to our plan… when large numbers of sea beasts flooded the rivers, we would spray the poison solution into the rivers, killing as many as possible! One, to eliminate a large number of sea beasts; two, to block the rivers with their corpses. However—”
“The effect wasn’t as good as we had anticipated!” General Li frowned.
“The newly developed Solution No.12 only works well against reptilian sea beasts, but has limited effect on coelenterates, echinoderms, and others,” General Li shook his head.
Luo Feng also felt the weight of the situation.
Although he had killed a King-level beast, how much impact did that truly have on the overall situation? The biggest threat to humanity remained the Golden-Horned Devourer!
“We are not afraid of the sea beasts, nor the King-level beasts!” General Li said gravely. “The base cities have been continuously reinforced and upgraded over decades by humanity. Even if we engage in brutal battles with the sea beasts, we won’t face total annihilation! What truly terrifies us… is the Devourer!”
“There is not a single person!”
“No base city can stop it.” These past two days, General Li’s hair had turned white with worry.
…
At 5:15 a.m. on January 15th.
Luo Feng sat in front of his computer at home, reading the news on his laptop screen. Because of the intense battle between humans and beasts during the day, the beast forces had suffered heavy losses, especially the death of the King-level beast ‘Eight-Armed King,’ which had frightened the other King-level beasts into submission, making them no longer dare to act so arrogantly.
This gave Luo Feng a brief respite.
His body was idle, but his heart was increasingly tense!
“Last night, the Golden-Horned Beast retreated to rest beneath the sea. I wonder when it will emerge again,” Luo Feng thought anxiously. “Babata, is the laser cannon ready?”
“Relax, Luo Feng, relax! Almost ready,” Babata replied hurriedly.
Luo Feng took a deep breath, suppressing his anxiety.
He turned to look outside the window. The night sky was still dark.
“When will dawn break?” Luo Feng murmured.
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, his wrist vibrated. It was a call from the Master, Hong.
“Hello.” Luo Feng answered the call.
“Luo Feng, immediately enter the Warrior Palace in the virtual space,” Hong said. “I have an important announcement to make.”
“Understood.” Luo Feng replied.
“Luo Feng, your strength has improved significantly,” Hong praised. “Keep working hard.” With that, the call ended.
…
Inside the Warrior Palace of the virtual space.
Flash!
Clad in golden robes, Luo Feng abruptly appeared in the spacious room.
“I wonder what urgent matter has brought the Master to gather warriors from all nations to the Warrior Palace,” Luo Feng thought, stepping out of the room and quickly heading toward the top-floor conference hall.
Along the way, he encountered some friends.
“Hello, Luo Feng!” A white man called out.
“Terrence.” Luo Feng walked beside him. “How is your EU nation holding up?”
“Very bad. Three of our base cities have already engaged in real combat with the sea beasts,” the white man named Terrence shook his head. “I estimate that within half a day, all six of our EU base cities will be fully engaged in battle with the sea beasts!”
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
The global situation was dire, with the United States being the worst hit, as it was the first country attacked by the Golden-Horned Devourer. Asian countries were still holding up for now, but according to the information Luo Feng had received, for instance, the Jiangnan Base City would likely engage in real combat with the beasts within two hours.
Inside the conference hall, people gathered quickly.
“Everyone!”
Only two figures sat at the top of the hall—Hong in black and Thunder God in white.
“At this critical moment, I have summoned you all here for an important announcement,” Hong’s gaze was sharp as a blade. “I believe you all know that the sudden appearance of the Devourer has plunged all of humanity on Earth into an unprecedented crisis. If we do not kill it, humanity will perish!”
Everyone below fell silent.
Luo Feng looked around. Everyone’s faces were grim.
“The Devourer is a Celestial Giant Beast of the cosmos, with an extremely rapid growth rate! Even if we cannot defeat it today and manage to escape temporarily by hiding in spaceships or other places, when the Devourer becomes even more powerful, we will have nowhere left to run,” a pained expression crossed Hong’s face.
Luo Feng nodded inwardly.
He agreed with this point. The Golden-Horned Devourer was one of the peak bloodlines among the Celestial Giant Beasts! If it grew to its final stage, it could even become a World God!
“Therefore, it must be killed! We must!!!” Hong’s aura suddenly became violently fierce.
“It must die,” Thunder God beside him added coldly.
“First Chancellor, we understand that it must be killed, but… even a 150-megaton hydrogen bomb couldn’t kill it. What else can we do?” an elderly man with gray hair from the United States interjected anxiously.
Another council warrior shook his head, saying, “Even our strongest laser cannon left no mark on its body. It’s too strong. There’s no way, absolutely no way.”
“I have a son, I have a daughter.”
Hong stood up, looking around at everyone. “I’m not a good father! My focus has always been on martial cultivation, rarely paying attention to them. But… they are my children.”
“I don’t want my children to live without hope!”
“My Limitless Martial Arts Institute does have a giant spaceship, one that even the Devourer cannot harm for now. I could send my children inside to hide. But!! I know very well that once this Devourer reaches the Cosmic level, there will be no safe place left on Earth!!”
“No place at all!”
Hong’s voice shook everyone present, including Luo Feng.
“Thunder God and I have decided to join forces and fight to the death, to kill the Devourer!” Hong’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears.
“To the death! Kill the Devourer!” Thunder God also stood up beside him.
Stunned!
A stunned silence filled the conference hall. Everyone was shocked. They all knew how formidable the ‘Devourer’ was!
“Master,” Liu He couldn’t help but stand up.
“Master,” the golden-masked guard ‘Yaorao’ stood up as well.
A total of eight people stood up at once!
“The decision has been made. No need to persuade,” Hong spoke calmly, yet his words carried an unshakable determination like a mountain. No one could sway it!
“First Chancellor, Second Chancellor, do you really have a plan?”
“First Chancellor, it’s not worth sacrificing your lives!”
“If humanity can’t hold out, we still need you two to lead and protect the survivors!”
Many from various nations stood up.
Hong shook his head slightly. “If the Devourer lives, there will be no survivors among humanity!”
This sentence brought tears to many eyes.
Despair!
Such profound despair!
…
Luo Feng closed his eyes. What Hong said was true! If it weren’t for Babata, who was skilled in repairs, assembly, and piloting, even with the Heilong spaceship, it would be impossible to fix and escape!
“Babata.” Luo Feng called out mentally.
“Yes?” Babata responded.
“Is the laser cannon ready?” Luo Feng asked.
“Still needs one hour.” Babata said.
“Can it kill the Golden-Horned Devourer in one shot?” Luo Feng asked.
“Rest assured, this is the strongest weapon on the Heilong Mountain X81. It can definitely blast the Golden-Horned Devourer’s head off in one shot, shattering its soul. It’s a guaranteed kill,” Babata said confidently.
“Good.”
Luo Feng opened his eyes, gazing at the gathering of Earth’s elite in the conference hall, all teetering on the edge of despair, and at Hong and Thunder God, who had already prepared to sacrifice themselves.
“Everyone!”
A loud voice echoed through the hall.
Everyone fell silent, including Hong and Thunder God, who turned to look. Facing the gaze of Earth’s greatest elites, Luo Feng spoke solemnly: “I have a way to kill the Devourer!”
