Mutual Destruction

Night.

The deep, dark ocean waters roared wildly. The sea wind howled, and the world was shrouded in gloom. Above the sea, humanity's most terrifying enemy, the Devouring Beast, and humanity's two peak martial artists, Hong and Lei Shen, had already met!

Boom! Boom!

Hong and Lei Shen instantly unleashed the desperate ultimate moves of domain experts! Without a domain, they would be utterly incapable of performing such a move!

Hong's body, including the long spear in his hand, was instantly enveloped in black radiance.

Lei Shen, moreover, was completely shrouded in serpentine azure lightning!

"Haha," Lei Shen laughed.

"Haha," Hong also chuckled.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two instantly arced through the air, charging from different directions towards the colossal Devouring Beast. The Devouring Beast hovered in mid-air, its dark golden eyes coldly observing the two approaching humans... In its view, these two humans were merely slightly stronger ants among countless others!

...

In the Training Hall of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo in Yangzhou.

Luo Feng stood beside his family, his heart filled with intense anxiety as he watched the screen.

"They're going all out, Luo Feng. Hong and Lei Shen, fighting like this, are directly burning their souls! Their battle can last a maximum of one minute. If the Devouring Beast isn't killed within that minute, then neither of them will have any power left to resist," Babata's voice echoed in Luo Feng's mind.

Luo Feng's heart tightened: "Burning souls, is it the same as the Yunmo Star lineage's spirit masters burning their souls when fighting for their lives?"

Among the many secret manuals of the Yunmo Star lineage, there were many basic techniques, but the 'Miscellaneous Chapters' also contained numerous Yunmo Star secret techniques, such as 'Soul Imprint,' 'Tower of Void,' and many others, each profound, mysterious, and powerful. Naturally, there were also ultimate moves involving burning one's soul in a desperate fight!

"Of course not. In terms of technical sophistication, the Yunmo Star lineage's secret techniques are far superior!" Babata continued, "However—while the technical level is high, the raw power still can't compare to theirs. What they are currently using is a desperate ultimate move that only domain experts can unleash! Soul, primal energy, strength, and will are completely integrated, communicating with the universe to erupt with their strongest power. It's incredibly terrifying. If they kill their opponent instantly, they might still live."

"But if the Devouring Beast doesn't die, then they will," Babata said.

"Has the Silver Guard arrived yet?" Luo Feng asked.

When he went to the No. 12 Ancient Civilization Ruin, Luo Feng obtained the Silver Guard, which had run out of energy. However, after Babata repaired it and replenished its energy crystals, it was now operational again.

"Soon! But Luo Feng, the Silver Guard is a bodyguard. If those two are going to their deaths, the Silver Guard can't help them," Babata said helplessly.

"Do everything we can, then leave the rest to fate!" Luo Feng stared at the screen.

The conversation with Babata seemed long, but it was actually a mental exchange, ending in an instant. Yet, in that brief moment, the battle on screen had already reached its climax!

A battle of 'stellar magnitude' was completely invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people, who could only watch the replays, slow-motion, and commentary beside the screen.

And Luo Feng... was the only one in the Training Hall who could clearly see the battle.

"No good, the Devouring ultimate move," Luo Feng's expression changed.

...

Above the Pacific Ocean.

The Golden Horned Beast's tail, like a phantom, instantly sliced through space, sweeping towards Hong and Lei Shen. With a "thump!", the Golden Horned Beast felt a strange rotational force from the long spear, causing the power in its tail to become somewhat disarrayed.

"Wooo!!!" The Golden Horned Beast threw its head back, letting out a world-shaking roar. It... was enraged!

Originally, it believed that these two slightly stronger ants could be easily crushed and killed with its normal strength. But upon truly engaging, it discovered... the actual combat power of these two seemingly tiny humans was astonishing. They were even stronger than the 'Star-level First-tier humans' it knew from its bloodline inheritance memories. Moreover, their blade and spear techniques were even more astounding! Every strike, every thrust, was as if naturally formed, and utterly unpredictable!

It could be said... this 'Golden Horned Beast,' born only a year ago, was, in terms of its long lifespan, probably equivalent to a newborn human infant still nursing. Although its lineage was noble and its bloodline inheritance memories vast, many other pieces of knowledge from those memories, apart from its innate ultimate moves, needed to be learned! How could a single year be enough to learn all that? In terms of cultivation realm, it was far behind even Luo Feng! Compared to Hong and Lei Shen, who had entered the 'domain' realm, the difference was even greater, like heaven and earth! The gap between the two human powerhouses burning their souls and the heavily injured Golden Horned Beast was actually not that significant.

"Wooo!" The Golden Horned Beast opened its mouth!

"No good!" "Watch out!" Both Hong and Lei Shen's expressions changed. The faces of numerous powerhouses worldwide, watching this scene via satellite, also changed. Everyone had witnessed the Golden Horned Beast's bizarre devouring ability.

"Boom." Hong and Lei Shen, according to their previous battle plan, instantly flew towards each other! The two were actually together! The Golden Horned Beast's dark golden eyes looked down at these two 'tiny specks,' growing even more furious and insane. These minuscule humans were practically seeking death! It had originally intended to devour one, but since they were together, it would devour both!!!

"Hiss, hiss~~" Invisible spatial power permeated hundreds of meters around, completely covering the area where Hong and Lei Shen were.

"Brother Hong," Lei Shen's expression slightly changed.

"Hmph." Hong waved his hand, and instantly, in front of him, in the air between the Devouring Beast and Hong, a vast, dense mass of metal debris appeared! Stacked so tightly that almost no space was left, the sheer volume of metal debris was even slightly larger than the Devouring Beast itself! Approximately 180 meters long, 120 meters wide, and 100 meters high. A massive amount of metal debris was densely stacked together.

One must know that the Heilong Mountain X81 model spaceship Luo Feng obtained was only about 100 meters in diameter. And while spaceships use a lot of metal, many of their halls, cabins, control rooms, etc., are empty! In other words, spaceships, transport warships, and the like are just shells! They can't possibly be solid metal throughout. However... before them appeared a 'thing' formed by a dense aggregation of metal debris.

"Go on, devour it, devour it!!! You couldn't handle devouring a few war bases, but these are spaceship wreckage from ancient civilization ruins. In terms of quality, they're far superior to Earth's metals! And this much metal is enough to build ten adventure spaceships. Let's see if you can swallow it," Hong thought coldly, his eyes icy.

Common sense dictates—just like humans eating, eat too much and you'll be stuffed. "Let's add a little more for you." Hong's gaze was cold, and then, he waved his hand again!

Whoosh! A large bundle of long, strip-shaped metal objects, bound together!

"Come on, these are 18 hydrogen bombs I collected from several countries! And atomic bombs to ignite them." Hong had just produced the hydrogen and atomic bombs.

"Wooo!" The Golden Horned Beast furiously stopped devouring and let out a roar! It clearly remembered the power of the last 150-megaton hydrogen bomb. Now there were 18 of them? Although smaller in size, the Golden Horned Beast wouldn't just swallow them indiscriminately! And—that massive amount of metal debris, 180 meters long, 120 meters wide, and 100 meters high, stacked so tightly, it didn't dare to swallow that either!

Why did it go out to sea several times to devour some metal, instead of devouring a lot at once? It was precisely because its 'appetite' was limited! Humans can burst if they eat too much! For the same reason, it didn't dare to swallow so much metal in one go! After all, one piece of this metal was equivalent to hundreds of pieces of ordinary Earth metal. Swallowing so much would cause its inner world to burst and collapse, and if its inner world collapsed, it would die.

"Wooo!!!" Roaring, the golden secret patterns on the enraged Golden Horned Beast's forehead horn suddenly lit up, and its eyes instantly turned a dazzling gold! Golden light rapidly surged along its neck and back, quickly reaching its forehooves, and the sharp hooves swiped directly!

Thump! The massive amount of metal debris was sent flying haphazardly, and the sharp hooves directly clawed towards Hong and Lei Shen behind the metal. But... just as its massive hooves scattered the metal debris, a black wave of energy instantly enveloped them, moving at an astonishing speed!

"Hiss!" A very faint sound, like hair being singed by fire, just like when the Devouring Beast was hit by a B6-grade laser cannon back then!

"Hiss!" The black energy wave whistled past the hooves, then directly struck the Golden Horned Beast's abdomen! Its incredibly hard scales were actually drilled through, creating a hole!

"Brother Hong!!!" A shrill cry echoed through the sky!

A bolt of lightning also frantically shot towards that hole!

"Wooo!" Feeling that the black-clad youth had actually burrowed into its body, the enraged Golden Horned Beast clawed at the bald, white-clad youth surrounded by lightning. "Hiss, hiss~~" Sharp energy tore through the bald, white-clad figure, and with a "splatter~~" blood and flesh flew everywhere. The white-clad youth's body from the waist down was completely pulverized into minced meat. His upper body, protected by the personal armor Luo Feng had given him, remained intact.

Whoosh! He didn't retreat. Even with his lower body completely pulverized, he had to charge in. He knew very well how terrifying the cost of Hong's ultimate move, which involved burrowing into the Golden Horned Beast, was according to their plan. One of the plans they had set was... the best way to kill the Golden Horned Beast was to enter its body.

"Fight to the death, we must kill it even if it means death!!!" The half-body white figure. His eyes were bloodshot and crimson, filled with utter madness!

The lightning-wrapped half-body white figure directly burrowed into that hole!

"Wooo!!!" The Golden Horned Beast roared in fury, but those two detestable humans had already entered its flesh and blood body!

...

The whole world fell silent.

Luo Feng stared at the screen, at the enraged Golden Horned Beast on it, and at the replays and slow-motion footage playing on the right side of the screen!

In the replay... Hong's skin was seeping blood beads, like a ghost or god, piercing the Golden Horned Beast's scales and burrowing into its body.

Lei Shen, with only half of his white-clad body remaining, also frantically charged into the Devouring Beast's body, determined to kill it even if it meant his own death!
