Shock and Awe!

Luo Feng knew very well that with the level of surveillance Hong, Lei Shen, and others maintained over Earth, even stronger 'King-level monsters' were likely recorded in their archives long ago. The birth of a King-level monster, by all accounts, should be a history of arduous growth, step by step. For a Beast Emperor to suddenly emerge from some forgotten corner of an inland lake was simply unbelievable!

This was precisely why Hong, Lei Shen, and nations worldwide were paying such close attention to this area.

“My heavens,” Mohanderson’s gaze sharpened, completely stunned.

Luo Feng also stared intently at the 'Earth Dragon King' undergoing its transformation. Its long body rapidly expanded, its width, length, and skin color changing swiftly. “Roar~~” The newly born Earth Dragon King let out a painful, low roar, its single horn on its forehead growing longer at a rate of roughly one centimeter per second!

Its strength was soaring at an incredible pace!

This rapid increase in power astonished even Luo Feng, who had consumed 'Thousand-Year Willow Heart' and 'Dragon Blood'. It was like reaching the heavens in a single bound!

“Dojo Master, Dojo Master, this is Luo Feng.” Luo Feng understood the gravity of the situation.

“Luo Feng, what is it?” Hong’s voice remained cold and calm.

“At my current location, there was once a strange white crystal. It was swallowed by a 'mid-level monster leader' Earth Dragon. Now, this Earth Dragon has transformed directly into a 'King-level monster' within just ten seconds, and it’s still in the process of transforming!” Luo Feng reported quickly, his expression serious.

“Stay put, I’m coming immediately!” Hong’s voice, for once, held a hint of urgency.

...

At the same moment, inside a giant flying saucer passenger jet stationed on the shore of Mist Island in the Huaxia Nation.

The other Parliamentarian-level experts had already gone to explore, leaving only Jia Yi, the Huaxia Nation’s strongest, to oversee the situation at the command center.

“Alert, alert! Rapidly strengthening life signature detected.”

“Alert, alert.”

Urgent voices echoed through the circular hall. Jia Yi, who had been standing as still as a stone, showed a trace of surprise on his face.

“Display location,” Jia Yi commanded.

“Beep!”

The screen on the wall quickly zoomed in, focusing on a 500-meter radius around a specific point. Simultaneously, a staff member’s voice rang out: “Commander, there are two Parliamentarian-level experts’ life signatures here. Just now, a previously not-very-strong life signature instantly surged, surpassing all other monster signatures in the Mist Island area. We confirm… it should be a King-level monster!”

“Meaning, in just ten seconds, a monster leader transformed into a King-level monster,” the staff member’s voice trembled slightly.

“Does your team confirm this deduction?” Jia Yi’s expression changed dramatically.

“90% certainty,” the staff member replied.

“Continue monitoring.”

After giving the order, Jia Yi immediately controlled his communication watch. “Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, Old Deng, Old Deng, Tuoba, Tuoba, hurry to the coordinates I’ve given you. I’ll be there shortly.”

...

It wasn't just the Huaxia Nation that possessed such detection instruments. These instruments, found in considerable numbers within an ancient civilization ruin, had been acquired by all five major powers. Thus, almost simultaneously, all parties discovered the unique situation here. After spending so much time with no results, personnel from various nations quickly converged on the location.

...

Two thousand meters underground, the once surging subterranean river had now become a raging torrent.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It was like the core of a Category 12 hurricane. As the agonizing Earth Dragon King thrashed and twisted its massive, powerful body, the entire underground river violently shook. Waves crashed furiously against the surrounding rocks. Each roll and twist of the Earth Dragon King, now five to six meters thick and over a hundred meters long, caused landslides and fissures in the surrounding area.

Luo Feng and the Ice Snow Emperor both floated in mid-air.

Falling rocks, fierce winds, and crashing waves were like a spring breeze to the two Planetary-level experts, unable to penetrate within a meter of them. Luo Feng’s psychic energy easily blocked everything. Around the Ice Snow Emperor, a faint white chill emanated, forming a protective white barrier.

Luo Feng and the Ice Snow Emperor both looked down at the Earth Dragon King below.

So what if it transformed?

The Ice Snow Emperor was a Planetary-level Third-tier warrior!

Although Luo Feng was only a Planetary-level First-tier Psychic Master, his consciousness was powerful, and he possessed the psychic weapon 'Duntiansuo'. In terms of strength, he was no less than the Ice Snow Emperor.

For two such powerhouses to deal with an Earth Dragon King that had just advanced to 'King-level monster', either one of them could easily dispatch it! At this moment, for Luo Feng and the Ice Snow Emperor, killing the Earth Dragon King was not important. What was important was… they wanted to clearly understand what miraculous effects that white crystal possessed, and to what extent!

“Boom!”

A black beam of light pierced through the rocks, appearing above the underground river with a speed that made both Luo Feng and the Ice Snow Emperor’s hearts tremble. It was Hong, clad in black.

“Dojo Master,” Luo Feng immediately flew over.

Hong nodded slightly, glancing at the Ice Snow Emperor, Mohanderson, in the distance. The previously arrogant Mohanderson involuntarily bowed slightly under Hong’s gaze. Currently on Earth, only Lei Shen could speak to Hong as an equal! The gap between others and Hong was simply too vast.

“Luo Feng, is this the Earth Dragon King?” Hong looked at the Earth Dragon King below, whose transformation was nearing completion.

“It is. Twenty seconds ago, it was only a 'mid-level monster leader' Earth Dragon,” Luo Feng confirmed.

“Mohanderson?” Hong looked at the Ice Snow Emperor.

The Ice Snow Emperor immediately bowed slightly: “First Speaker, the facts are as Parliamentarian Luo Feng stated.”

“Just one crystal allowed a mid-level monster leader to leap to a King-level monster?” Hong frowned, somewhat disbelieving.

One must know…

The difficulty of advancing from a high-level monster leader to a 'King-level monster' was no less than a human 'Advanced Wargod' breaking through to 'Planetary-level'. The reason why the monster race had far more 'King-level monsters' than human society had Planetary-level experts was because the sheer number of monsters was immense! How few human warriors were there?

The large base number led to a greater quantity of King-level monsters. This 'greater quantity' was relative to human Planetary-level experts. For the entire monster race, King-level monsters were still pitifully few. Yet now, a single crystal allowed a 'mid-level monster leader' to leap to King-level. This was equivalent to a single crystal allowing a 'mid-level Wargod' to directly become a Parliamentarian-level expert.

Was that even possible?

Any human Wargod on Earth had to reach the peak of Advanced Wargod, then strengthen their consciousness and other aspects, before finally making a difficult breakthrough.

“Hong, you found a secret treasure and didn’t even call me!” a voice rang out.

A white-robed figure also appeared above the river.

“Greetings, Lei Shen,” Luo Feng bowed slightly.

“Greetings, Second Speaker,” the Ice Snow Emperor also bowed slightly.

“Luo Feng, you truly are your Dojo Master’s lucky star,” Lei Shen smiled faintly. “Unfortunately… this Earth Dragon’s transformation into an 'Earth Dragon King' caused its life signature to suddenly strengthen dozens, even hundreds of times over. Our instruments detected it. I estimate other nations will arrive soon.” No sooner had he spoken than a figure crashed through the rocks.

Then…

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Figures of Planetary-level experts appeared one after another above the underground river.

“An Earth Dragon King? There’s actually an Earth Dragon King?”

“Could it be that the life signature that became so strong was it? It transformed from a monster leader to a King-level monster?”

Numerous Parliamentarian-level experts hovered above the river, looking down at the Earth Dragon King below.

The Earth Dragon King had finished its transformation. Its large, basin-sized eyes glanced at the many humans above with a hint of fear. Its intelligence already knew… that humans who could fly were true peak experts, capable of rivaling King-level monsters. Although it had transformed into a King-level monster itself, there were too many opponents.

“Hiss hiss~~” The Earth Dragon King suddenly plunged towards the riverbed, attempting to burrow deep underground.

“Still trying to escape?”

Hong waved his hand slightly, and a black domain immediately spread out, enveloping the Earth Dragon King! Trapped within Hong’s chilling black domain, the Earth Dragon King immediately struggled frantically, but it felt as if its entire body was bound by countless ropes. It couldn’t break free, letting out painful, low roars.

“Rend!” Hong waved his hand.

A black stream of light shot through the Earth Dragon King’s head. Poof! Its head directly exploded, brains and other matter splattering everywhere.

Hong and Lei Shen immediately meticulously examined the Earth Dragon King’s shattered head.

“No issues,” Hong frowned slightly.

“It’s just like a normally evolved Earth Dragon King,” Lei Shen also frowned.

Above the underground river, numerous human experts hovered. The Earth Dragon King, which had just advanced to King-level, was thus… killed and dissected like a lab rat. Experts from America, the Huaxia Nation, the European Union, India, Soviet Russia, and the HR Alliance were all awestruck by Hong, who had effortlessly killed the Earth Dragon King.

They had long known Hong was formidable, but every time they saw him act, an inescapable sense of powerlessness arose within them.

“Luo Feng, describe the crystal again, in detail,” Hong turned and said.

“Yes, Dojo Master.”

Luo Feng recalled carefully, stating solemnly, “It was a white crystal. It was suspended above the river! As if incredibly light, strangely floating in mid-air. And the faint white glow of this white crystal illuminated this dark underground area slightly. Also… there was a rice fragrance emanating from it.”

“Rice fragrance? White crystal? Floating? Eaten, causing monsters to evolve?” Hong pondered.

Lei Shen was also thinking.

“Oh, right, another monster leader had eaten a white crystal before, but it exploded and died shortly after, and the white crystal was completely unharmed,” Luo Feng quickly added.

“Eaten, and the body exploded?”

Hong, Lei Shen, and three individuals among the Parliamentarian-level experts’ eyes lit up.

“No. 5 ancient civilization ruin!” a black Parliamentarian-level expert couldn’t help but exclaim, his body trembling slightly.

“It’s Muya Jing, it’s that Muya Jing,” a Chinese Parliamentarian-level expert also exclaimed.

“It’s Muya Jing.”

Hong and Lei Shen looked at each other, their eyes filled with a trace of fervor and madness.

“Moyun Teng appeared on Earth, and now even the precious 'Muya Jing' from the cosmos has appeared on Earth,” Lei Shen murmured softly.

“Muya Jing.”

Luo Feng, standing nearby, felt puzzled, repeating the name in his mind. What did Muya Jing represent? Judging by Hong and Lei Shen’s reactions, these two peak existences on Earth seemed unable to conceal the madness in their eyes. Although he didn’t understand the purpose of Muya Jing, Luo Feng guessed…

Muya Jing was definitely countless times more precious than those spiritual plants. It was a treasure even in the vast cosmos.
