Six People

“It’s 14:12 Huaxia time. One hour has passed since Hong and Lei Shen fought the Golden Horned Beast.” Babata’s voice was very serious. “The Golden Horned Beast’s life aura is incredibly weak this time, clearly indicating severe injuries. It won’t recover in a day or two. But—you can’t waste time. The sooner we act, the better!”

After deciding to help Luo Feng, Babata poured all his energy into strategizing for him: “First, we need to find five Planetary-level individuals to act as sacrifices. You will perform the ‘Six-Pointed Star Secret Technique,’ completely absorbing the burning souls of the other five, integrating them into the ‘Tower of Void,’ and then unleash the ‘Tower of Void’ desperate attack.”

“Choose five people. They must be Planetary-level!”

“The stronger, the better. Greater strength means a stronger life force, and thus, the power generated by burning their souls will be even more potent!”

Luo Feng stood on the rooftop, gazing at the surrounding skyscrapers and the streets in the distance, where military transport convoys moved back and forth. He said, “Babata, send my message to all Planetary-level warriors! Those willing to join, willing to sacrifice themselves, should reply to me.” Luo Feng’s voice was low but incredibly firm.

“Understood.”

Under Babata’s control, all Planetary-level powerhouses on Earth received the message simultaneously.

“Luo Feng, how many do you think will be willing to sacrifice themselves?” Babata couldn’t help but ask. “They are all Planetary-level warriors and spiritual force masters. Even if the Base Cities are breached and humanity makes a mass escape, their chances of survival are still the highest.”

“I don’t know.” Luo Feng shook his head.

The ‘Six-Pointed Star Secret Technique’ is a very special secret technique from the Yunmo Star lineage. It includes a move that allows others to sacrifice by burning their souls. This move… can also be used to make one’s own servants sacrifice themselves. The so-called ‘sacrifice’ must be voluntary, without resistance. Any resistance will cause it to fail.

Therefore, Luo Feng couldn’t force anyone to burn their souls and sacrifice themselves.

“Beep!”

Luo Feng’s communication watch chimed.

“Got one.” Luo Feng quickly tapped it open. The message contained only a few words.

“I… Yaorao, am willing to go.” Luo Feng was shaken after reading it. The first to agree was none other than Yaorao, one of Dojo Master Hong’s three personal guards.

“Beep!” “Beep!”

The communication watch chimed twice more.

“Two more?” Luo Feng was about to scroll through to see who they were.

“Beep!” “Beep!” “Beep!” “Beep!” “Beep!” “Beep!” “Beep!” “Beep!” “Beep!”…

The sounds were almost continuous.

The chimes were soft, but their continuous nature deeply shook Luo Feng.

“Truly insane.” Babata murmured.

Three minutes and sixteen seconds!

For that long, the communication watch kept chiming ‘beep.’ After three minutes and sixteen seconds, no more replies came for a while.

“Luo Feng, we’ve received 81 replies. 62 people are willing to go, and the rest are asking if you’re confident and what the chances are of killing the Devouring Beast.” Babata quickly tallied the results.

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

“Luo Feng, you decide. Which five people will you choose?” Babata said.

Whoever is chosen will be the sacrifice!

“Based on soul strength, choose whoever will provide the most help, Babata. Select these five people.” Luo Feng said in a low voice.

“Understood.”

Babata said, “They’ve been chosen. The five are Mohanderson, Easter, Telipati Xinge, Jia Yi, and Suokeluofu. They hail from Meilijian, the European Union, India, Huaxia Nation, and Soviet Russia, respectively. However, your War God Palace’s Fifth Elder didn’t reply.”

“I can’t force anyone.” Luo Feng silently recited the names, “Mohanderson, Easter, Telipati Xinge, Jia Yi, Suokeluofu…”

Mohanderson… the man known as the ‘Ice and Snow Emperor,’ full of domineering aura, Meilijian’s real-life ‘superhero.’

Easter… Luo Feng’s predecessor as Earth’s top spiritual force master, now surpassed by Luo Feng.

Telipati Xinge… known as India’s strongest powerhouse, the man called the ‘Lion King.’

Suokeluofu… Soviet Russia’s powerhouse, renowned for his ferocity.

Jia Yi… Huaxia Nation’s powerhouse who has always dedicated himself to the country, a survivor from the Great Nirvana period.

“Five.” Luo Feng understood.

As soon as the ‘Six-Pointed Star Secret Technique’ is performed, these five people will have to sacrifice themselves. They knew it meant sacrifice, yet they replied immediately.

“Notify these five. Give them fifteen minutes to say goodbye to their families. Afterward, they must immediately rush to the Pacific Ocean at maximum speed.” Luo Feng said in a low voice.

“Understood.”

Babata immediately sent out five notifications.

***

In Soviet Russia.

A burly man with eyes faintly glowing red, a truly frightening appearance, stood at the door of a house. The door was tightly shut.

“Yelena!”

The burly man’s voice was low, carrying into the house. “This is the last time I’ll see you.”

He!

Suokeluofu, the embodiment of ferocity and power, Soviet Russia’s strongest powerhouse. He had never married, loved wine and women, and no one in Soviet Russia dared to provoke him. Yet, few knew he actually had a daughter. This daughter was, in fact, a product of one of his drunken nights.

“I’m heading to the Pacific Ocean to confront the Devouring Beast. Yelena, take good care of yourself.” Suokeluofu roared again. He stared at the house’s doors and windows, a hint of anticipation and longing in his heart-stopping eyes.

But the doors and windows remained closed.

Suokeluofu abruptly turned.

He strode directly towards a saucer-shaped intelligent fighter jet not far away. Soon, the fighter jet’s engine hummed, and it began to take off.

Click!

The house door finally opened. A woman in an apron looked out carefully, but she only saw a tiny saucer in the distant sky. Soon, the fighter jet vanished into the horizon.

Looking at the large footprints on the snowy ground, the woman couldn’t help but burst into tears.

***

The ferocious ‘Suokeluofu,’ the polar bear, bid farewell to his daughter.

The ‘Ice and Snow Emperor,’ Mohanderson, bid farewell to his wife, son, and his newborn grandson, who was just drinking milk.

The ‘Lion King,’ Telipati Xinge, also bid farewell to his three wives and numerous children.

Easter simply locked himself in his room, spending five solitary minutes, then boarded his fighter jet and departed.

Jia Yi merely made phone calls to his family before directly boarding his fighter jet and leaving.

***

In Luo Feng’s living room.

“Get up, Xiao Feng, get up.” Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan, their faces streaked with tears, rushed to pull up the kneeling Luo Feng.

“Luo Hua, take care of Mom and Dad.”

Luo Feng looked at his younger brother.

“Mhm.” Luo Hua’s eyes were bloodshot as he nodded repeatedly.

Luo Feng nodded slightly, then turned to Xu Xin, whose eyes were already brimming with tears. Luo Feng reached out and took her hand, speaking softly: “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t say that,” Xu Xin quickly shook her head.

“I owe you a wedding.” Luo Feng extended his left hand, and instantly, a steel wire from the mosquito net on the balcony next to the living room flew out. As it flew, it was cleanly severed into two pieces. These two short steel wires automatically coiled, forming a ring.

“Now, there’s no time to buy rings,” Luo Feng said, holding the two steel wire rings.

“Before our parents, Xu Xin, will you marry me?” Luo Feng asked softly.

“Mhm, mhm,” Xu Xin just nodded, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Luo Feng gently placed a steel wire ring on Xu Xin’s ring finger.

Xu Xin also put a ring on Luo Feng.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry to you, and I’m sorry to our two unborn children.” Luo Feng looked at Xu Xin before him, then leaned down to kiss her. Xu Xin closed her eyes…

When their lips parted.

When Xu Xin opened her eyes, she only saw Luo Feng’s back as he exited the living room door.

“Xiao Feng!”

“Luo Feng!”

A group of people ran out after him, looking up into the courtyard.

They saw the young man, standing on his Duntiansuo, transform into a streak of light and vanish into the eastern sky.

***

Luo Feng stood on his Duntiansuo, flying through the air.

Looking down, Yangzhou City in the distance was almost out of sight. Directly below him lay desolate, ruined cities, covered in dust and overrun by monsters… These were cities from before the Great Nirvana period, now home to beasts.

“This is Luo Feng. Mohanderson, Easter, Telipati Xinge, Jia Yi, Suokeluofu, tell me your current locations and fighter jet speeds. I’ll determine the rendezvous point.” Luo Feng connected with all five simultaneously.

“This is Mohanderson. My fighter jet speed is 3800 meters per second…”

“This is Jia Yi…”

All five consecutively informed Luo Feng of their positions and speeds.

Babata quickly calculated the optimal rendezvous point: “Luo Feng, the rendezvous point has been calculated. You’ll only need 1 hour and 8 minutes to reach it. The rendezvous point is merely 351 kilometers from the Golden Horned Beast’s sea territory.”

“Understood.”

Luo Feng immediately notified the other five of the rendezvous point’s location.

***

It was still afternoon in Huaxia Nation, but the closer they got to the rendezvous point, the faster the sky darkened.

The Rendezvous Point.

When Luo Feng arrived at the rendezvous point, a black saucer-shaped fighter jet was already hovering high above, and a man with slightly curly hair, appearing to be of South Asian descent, flew directly out of it.

“Luo Feng, hello.” The man extended his hand.

“Telipati Xinge, hello.” Luo Feng also extended his hand.

The two shook hands.

Soon after, Mohanderson, arriving from Meilijian, also appeared.

The fourth to arrive was Jia Yi.

The fifth to arrive was Suokeluofu, and the sixth was Easter.

“I’ve already explained the crucial points. Do you all understand?” Luo Feng looked at the five.

“Understood.”

Mohanderson, Easter, Telipati Xinge, Jia Yi, and Suokeluofu all nodded solemnly.

“Good, then let’s depart. We’ll enter the ocean and head to the Devouring Beast’s location,” Luo Feng said.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Six people, six streaks of light.

They simultaneously flew towards the location over three hundred kilometers away.

***

At this moment, this scene was being broadcast everywhere in every country across the globe.

Luo Hongguo, Gong Xinlan, Xu Xin, and others couldn’t help but shed tears watching on television, while the elite leaders of various nations understood… this was likely humanity’s last chance.

“Meilijian’s strongest powerhouse, Mohanderson; the European Union’s strongest powerhouse, Easter; India’s strongest powerhouse, Telipati Xinge; Soviet Russia’s strongest powerhouse, Suokeluofu; and our Huaxia Nation’s eternal hero, Jia Yi; as well as… Earth’s top spiritual force master, the youngest peerless genius, Luo Feng.”

“Let us forever remember their names.”

The narrator’s voice on screen was very low.

And on the screen…

Six peerless powerhouses flew through the air, then rapidly dove, simultaneously plunging into the vast ocean.
