The Rampaging Golden Horned Beast

Yangzhou City, one of the Eight Great Guardian Cities of Jiangnan Base City, was plunged into utter chaos. Agonized screams and cries echoed through the night sky. Skyscrapers were either cleaved in half or engulfed in towering flames, painting a picture of a city on the brink of annihilation.

Inside Mingyue Residential District.

A flying saucer fighter jet had landed on the lawn, and three soldiers from a special department leaped out. Like a gust of wind, they swiftly rushed into Luo Feng’s home.

Thump, thump, thump!

The three men quickly ascended to the second floor of Luo Feng’s house.

The second floor’s gravity room contained beds, sofas, computers, and other furnishings.

Luo Feng’s parents, Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan, his younger brother Luo Hua, his girlfriend Zhen Nan and her parents, and Xu Xin—all were huddled in this gravity room. Fortunately, the gravity room was six meters long and six meters wide, providing ample space for the group. Zhen Nan’s parents had been called over by Luo Hua earlier, after Zhen Nan’s anxious plea.

“Mr. Luo Hongguo! Please leave the gravity room and come with us quickly! It’s not safe for you here.”

The three soldiers stood outside the gravity room, the leader speaking with urgency. “Ground structures could become targets for the Golden Horned Beast at any moment. Commander has ordered us to pick up your family, Mr. Luo! Time is short, please hurry.”

“I already told you on the phone, I’m not leaving.”

“We won’t leave.”

“Gentlemen, please go. We’ll wait until my brother returns.”

Luo Hongguo, Gong Xinlan, and Luo Hua all spoke.

The three soldiers outside were utterly helpless.

Suddenly, the leader’s communication watch vibrated. He glanced down, his expression changing slightly: “It’s the Commander’s call.”

He immediately answered.

“Commander, Councilor Luo’s family refuses to leave,” the leading soldier reported quickly.

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

The soldier stood ramrod straight, responding repeatedly, then ended the communication.

“Mr. Luo Hongguo, we’ve just contacted Councilor Luo, and he’ll be here shortly,” the leading soldier announced to those inside the gravity room.

Inside, Luo Feng’s family members were overjoyed.

Luo Feng was coming back?

Tonight had truly been a nightmare, and they had been constantly worried about Luo Feng even inside the gravity room.

“Withdraw!” The leading soldier waved his hand, and the three soldiers quickly departed.

…

Above the Asian continent.

A streak of light swiftly tore through the night sky. Luo Feng, clad in Moyun Combat Armor, stood atop his Duntiansuo, his right hand gripping a ‘curved shield’—the Arc Blade Disk! This was a weapon his deceased teacher had prepared for him aboard the Yunmo Star. The Arc Blade Disk and the Duntiansuo were of comparable grade.

One excelled at escape.

One excelled at offense.

In fact, Luo Feng now understood more about the use of psychic weapons! When he could first control 18 strands of psychic energy, he tried to activate the second layer of the ‘Duntiansuo’s Drilling Cone’ countless times, but failed every time! This was because his psychic control was too crude, too weak.

But through the gradual refinement of the ‘Nine Control Techniques,’ Luo Feng’s foundation was now incredibly solid.

He could use both weapons after only two or three attempts!

“Luo Feng, why couldn’t I reach you on the phone earlier?”

“I went to an ancient civilization ruin, the signal might have been blocked there.” While flying, Luo Feng was on a call with Jia Yi. “How are things now?”

“How are things? After being severely wounded, the Golden Horned Beast went absolutely mad with rage! After destroying all the ‘war bases’ in Huaxia Nation, India, and numerous other Base Cities across Asia, it’s now unleashing a frenzied, retaliatory attack on major human cities.” Jia Yi’s voice was anxious. “By the way, your Yangzhou City has also been affected.”

“What?” Luo Feng’s heart clenched.

“Your Mingyue Residential District wasn’t affected, but Yangzhou City as a whole suffered twelve golden light attacks, which is quite severe,” Jia Yi said.

Luo Feng grew even more anxious.

Fortunately, Yangzhou City was very close to the East Coast, and Luo Feng soon flew over the city.

“My god!”

Looking down from high above, Luo Feng couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

The screams and cries of the entire Yangzhou City carried far and wide. In this densely populated city of nearly ten million, there were now twelve deep craters. Around these twelve sites, skyscrapers and residential districts were engulfed in flames, buildings had collapsed, as if they had been hit by thousands of tons of TNT.

At these twelve locations, large numbers of soldiers and police had gathered, and many survivors were weeping in anguish.

“Bastard,” Luo Feng cursed inwardly.

“Fortunately, this is just its venting; it’s venting its rage on all human cities!” Babata’s voice echoed in his mind. “If it had specifically targeted Yangzhou City, destroying the entire city would have been effortless!”

Luo Feng understood this perfectly!

Launching twelve golden lights was indeed a very ordinary attack for the Golden Horned Beast. Perhaps, in the eyes of the ‘Golden Horned Beast,’ these Guardian Cities were small, and only the main urban areas were truly large cities! It wasn’t worth expending too much effort on a small city.

…

Luo Feng swiftly descended towards Mingyue Residential District, then directly entered the second floor through his window.

Beep!

The metal door of the gravity room automatically opened. There were seven people inside.

“Brother,” Luo Hua was the first to stand up from his computer chair.

Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan carefully examined Luo Feng, only relaxing when they saw he had no external injuries. Zhen Nan’s parents beside them also nodded and smiled slightly, though their faces were pale.

“After we entered this gravity room, the metal door closed and we couldn’t open it,” Luo Hua said.

“It’s a program I set,” Luo Feng stated directly.

Compared to some government defense locations, Luo Feng had more faith in the gravity room’s sturdiness! Even Hong could only barely leave small indentations on the gravity room. The Golden Horned Beast… even if a golden light struck the gravity room, it wouldn’t be able to damage it!

“Xu Xin.”

Luo Feng naturally took Xu Xin’s hand. Her hand was cold, and her face was also somewhat pale. “Luo Feng, look.” Xu Xin turned the computer screen towards him, and Luo Feng looked down.

There were numerous videos and photos on the screen.

The topmost photo showed the burning wreckage of a skyscraper.

“The Golden Horned Beast is rampaging across the world! It was in Asia earlier, and now it’s gone to Africa. Judging by its speed, it will probably be rampaging through Europe soon,” Xu Xin said.

“How many casualties has Huaxia suffered?” Luo Feng asked.

“I don’t know,” Xu Xin shook her head.

Luo Hua, standing nearby, said, “Brother, based on satellite images and videos, the six Base Cities in our Huaxia Nation have suffered at least 5 million deaths, conservatively estimated!” At these words, everyone else in the gravity room changed expression, clearly filled with grief and sorrow.

“Conservatively estimated, 5 million?” Luo Feng’s heart sank.

Millions of his compatriots.

“The Golden Horned Beast primarily attacked the main urban areas, where the population is much larger and denser than in Guardian Cities. Its frenzied attacks… if they hit commercial buildings, it wouldn’t be so bad, as those buildings are empty at night. But if they hit residential buildings, communities…” Luo Hua looked at the dense piles of corpses in some of the photos on the screen, unable to continue.

His mother Gong Xinlan, Xu Xin, and Zhen Nan, all shed tears.

It was too tragic!

Luo Feng’s face was ashen.

“Golden Horned Beast,” Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed with cold fury.

But then came a wave of powerlessness!

The Golden Horned Beast, a pinnacle bloodline from the cosmos, renowned for its ferocity and brutality among Starry Sky Behemoths, was only Star-level, yet for Earth’s humanity… it was the apocalypse.

…

From its birth until now, this was the Golden Horned Beast’s first injury!

It was furious!

So, it needed to vent its rage! Thus, after Asia, Africa, and Europe, came North America and South America! For ordinary Guardian Cities, it would casually unleash a few or a dozen golden lights as it flew past. But for some super-large cities, it would unleash a widespread, frenzied attack.

Humans were like weak ants.

And the Golden Horned Beast was like a giant, visiting one ant nest after another, constantly trampling groups of ants to death.

…

The entirety of Earth’s humanity trembled under the Golden Horned Beast’s wrath.

The retaliation lasted for over four hours.

…

Above a city in South America, where screams and explosions mingled, the Golden Horned Beast spread its massive scaled wings. The scales on its belly had completely healed, without a single scar. It looked down at the city below, its icy eyes filled with a post-venting frenzy, then suddenly threw its head back!

“Woo—”

A high-pitched, terrifying roar erupted, shaking the air and forming visible shockwaves! It seemed to declare its noble inviolability!

Whoosh!

Then the Golden Horned Beast swiftly flew away, entering the ocean to rest at the bottom.

This night… it had destroyed all human war bases, suffered heavy injuries, and then vented its rage wildly! It had indeed consumed a vast amount of energy, and it was tired, needing rest!

…

In Mingyue Residential District, Yangzhou City, at Luo Feng’s home.

The living room television was broadcasting live. The Huaxia Nation’s No. 1 leader was giving a nationwide televised address.

“My compatriots!”

“Tonight, I am filled with immense pain and sorrow. This is a disaster for all humanity; we are fighting for survival!”

At once, almost all citizens of Huaxia Nation watched the live broadcast.

During the broadcast, numerous videos were also inserted in a smaller window. This scene was not only happening in Huaxia Nation; other countries around the world were doing the same simultaneously! All the people worldwide knew… what had happened! A disaster, even more terrifying than the Grand Nirvana period, had arrived!

Immediately…

The citizens who had initially resisted military rule, upon seeing the countless dead people and soldiers on television, many young people voluntarily cooperated and even joined the army! Large numbers of trained reservists signed up! Many warriors joined the military!

Furthermore—

The television constantly broadcast live scenes of innumerable King-level monsters from the sea surging into the rivers across the motherland. It also broadcast scenes of the military battling monsters. And it frequently interspersed updates on the situations in other countries worldwide.

Tragic!

Humans versus monsters—this was a war of races!

“For survival!” Luo Feng watched the television, his heart heavy.

Suddenly, Luo Feng’s communication watch vibrated. He answered.

“Luo Feng, Luo Feng.”

“In the eastern part of your Yangzhou City, twelve King-level sea monsters have just flown out of the ocean. Six of them are heading towards the Southeast Military Region. Please provide immediate support, immediate support.” Jia Yi’s voice was filled with extreme urgency.
