A New Chapter

In the deep, dark seawater, Luo Feng and five others rapidly descended. Luo Feng was protected by his Moyun Armor, while the other five wore Black God Suits. Their physical bodies alone allowed them to dive into the deep sea. “Luo Feng, the Devouring Beast is 1200 meters beneath the seabed. If we get too close, will we wake it? Will it interrupt your secret technique?” Tripathi Singh of India couldn't help but ask repeatedly. The other four also looked at Luo Feng; this time, Luo Feng was completely in charge. After all, they didn't understand this 'secret technique.' “Don’t worry,” Luo Feng said. With a thought, a Flowing Silver Guard in black combat attire appeared out of thin air beside him. “Hmm?” The other five were astonished, staring at the suddenly appearing Flowing Silver Guard. Observing its face, they realized… this wasn't a real person, but a special 'robot' they had seen before when Hong and Lei Shen were rescued. “This is what I gained from the ancient civilization ruin,” Luo Feng said as he landed on the seabed, followed by the other five. “Notify an intelligent fighter jet to come here,” Luo Feng said in a low voice. “Why?” The other five were slightly puzzled. Intelligent fighter jets could indeed operate in the sea, land, and air, but why enter the seabed? “After I perform the secret technique, you will die. I will have the intelligent fighter jet take your bodies away. As for me, I will immediately fight the Devouring Beast,” Luo Feng explained. The other five nodded slightly, understanding the process of the battle. Their role was 'sacrifice,' allowing Luo Feng to become incredibly powerful for a short time. Luo Feng, however, might end up with nothing left of his body. Whoosh! The intelligent fighter jet high above swiftly plunged into the sea, quickly arriving at their location. “Sit down, close your eyes, and remember, do not resist,” Luo Feng said in a low voice. “Understood.” Mohanderson, Easter, Tripathi Singh, Jia Yi, and Sokolov exchanged glances, a strange smile appearing on their faces, a smile that possessed a soul-stirring charm. All five sat cross-legged. The five, plus Luo Feng, made a total of six. This was precisely the number of points required for the 'Sacrifice Secret Art' within the Six-Pointed Star Secret Technique. “Begin.” Luo Feng also closed his eyes. In his sea of consciousness, there were three miniature planets. The central miniature planet was acquired when he reached Planetary Level One, and the other two were formed when he reached Planetary Level Two and Planetary Level Three, respectively. The two outer planets orbited the central one, much like Earth orbits the Sun. The central one was the largest. All three miniature planets were blood-red. And from each of the three planets, wisps of red mist emanated, permeating and merging into the colossal object that almost filled his entire sea of consciousness—the Void Tower! A blood-red pagoda, whose interior space was vast and boundless like the cosmos, contained Luo Feng’s three miniature planets. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Five blood-red threads flew out from the Void Tower, leaving Luo Feng’s body. Strangely, in the material world outside, these mental energy threads were completely transparent. The five mental energy threads directly entered the seas of consciousness of Mohanderson, Easter, Tripathi Singh, Jia Yi, and Sokolov. “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” The souls of the five instantly ignited! … On the seabed, six people sat cross-legged in meditation. As the souls of five of them burned, invisible tremors appeared around their bodies. Under Luo Feng’s precise control, a vast amount of mental energy began to transmit along the Six-Pointed Star formation, eventually reaching the center of the formation, 'Luo Feng,' and merging into the Void Tower in Luo Feng’s sea of consciousness. The life force of the five continuously weakened. Luo Feng’s life force continuously strengthened. Yet, the five who sacrificed themselves wore smiles on their faces. … In Paris Base City, European Union, on the large screens hanging by the streets. “The six individuals have stopped moving underwater. The central one, with the strongest life signature, is Luo Feng. To his left, the second strongest life signature belongs to Easter…” The live broadcast echoed through the streets, where many men and women of the European Union had gathered, silently watching. “The signatures are weakening! Mohanderson, Easter, Tripathi Singh, Jia Yi, and Sokolov’s life signatures are continuously weakening! Luo Feng’s life signature is continuously strengthening!” On the screen, the ethereal figures representing the six individuals showed five of them becoming increasingly blurry, while Luo Feng’s figure became progressively clearer. Suddenly— The ethereal figures of the five completely vanished. Clearly, the life detection instruments could no longer detect any life signatures. “Oh.” “My God.” Countless people on the street couldn't help but cover their faces. They knew that the disappearance of a life signature meant death. “This is Mohanderson’s fighter jet. The fighter jet has already left the sea. According to our information, there are now five bodies inside the fighter jet, belonging to these five heroes: Mohanderson, Easter, Tripathi Singh, Jia Yi, and Sokolov! They sacrificed themselves for humanity! Please remember them forever!” “Luo Feng!!!” “Luo Feng is rapidly approaching the Devouring Beast!” The voice suddenly became tense. On the screen, Luo Feng’s life signature rapidly descended, nearing the immense life signature of the Devouring Beast. “Let us pray!” “Pray that Luo Feng can win!” On the streets, everyone clasped their hands in front of their chests, watching the screen. … At this moment, countless people across Earth were praying, hoping… that victory would come! … Beneath the seabed rock layer. Luo Feng was rapidly descending. “800 meters, 600 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters!” Babata continuously updated Luo Feng on the Devouring Beast’s position. “200 meters!” Luo Feng suddenly stopped. The surrounding rock was pushed open. “Golden Horned Beast, die!” A fierce glint flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes. In his sea of consciousness. Inside the massive Void Tower, two miniature planets continuously orbited the central planet. Suddenly— Boom! Boom! Boom! The three miniature planets instantly transformed into 'fireballs.' More accurately, a vast amount of blood-red mist surged furiously from the miniature planets, merging into the Void Tower. The Void Tower, already dazzling from absorbing a large amount of mental energy from the five powerhouses, suddenly began to spin. It spun continuously! This made the entire Void Tower blur, and its tip glowed with a dazzling point of light. “Years of hard work, all gone,” Babata said, sitting in a reclining chair in the smart space on Luo Feng’s wrist, shaking his head slightly. “I hope, I hope he can preserve a bit of his foundation, like Hong and Lei Shen, and fall into a deep sleep. At least that wouldn’t be death.” … Luo Feng felt himself continuously weakening. “Go!” Whoosh! An invisible 'Void Tower,' spinning like a sharp cone, traversed the two-hundred-meter distance and instantly plunged into the Golden Horned Beast’s body. “Woo—” An angry roar erupted. Rumble~~ The surrounding rock layer suddenly burst open. Luo Feng immediately saw the enraged Golden Horned Beast, its dark golden eyes glaring furiously at him. However, 'swish' 'swish,' two Flowing Silver Guards blocked Luo Feng’s path. “Its sea of consciousness isn’t in its head,” Luo Feng’s expression changed. After the Void Tower plunged into the Golden Horned Beast’s head, it found no soul! Luo Feng finally understood… why destroying its head couldn’t kill it. Because this Golden Horned Beast, unlike humans or other monsters, had its sea of consciousness and soul located elsewhere than its head! Immediately, the Void Tower swiftly moved down its neck, entering the Golden Horned Beast’s torso! “Whoosh!” The Void Tower swept through. For the Void Tower, composed of mental energy, flesh and blood could not obstruct it. “Hmm? It’s here!” Inside the Golden Horned Beast’s body, there was a transparent crystal sphere, glowing golden, about twenty centimeters in diameter. The sphere was covered with incredibly complex golden secret patterns, emitting rays of golden light! When Luo Feng’s Void Tower swept past, he clearly felt a powerful obstruction. The soul was inside! “Boom!” The spinning Void Tower directly crashed into the crystal sphere! … “Woo! Woo!” The Golden Horned Beast roared furiously within the rock layer, thrashing its head. Its scaled wings were incredibly sharp, like two giant cleavers. Its claws were swift and fierce, and its tail was strangely agile and powerful. At this moment… all were frantically attacking Luo Feng’s body. The two Flowing Silver Guards desperately tried to block it. “No, such strong soul defense!” Luo Feng’s expression changed drastically. Luo Feng’s expression suddenly became ferocious, and he gritted his teeth: “I’ll risk it all!” Boom! Boom! Boom! Three visible miniature planets directly flew out of Luo Feng’s sea of consciousness. “Rumble~~” Luo Feng’s sea of consciousness, having lost its foundation, instantly began to collapse and disintegrate! … “No! Luo Feng, no!!!” Babata exclaimed in shock in the smart space on his wrist. Although Hong and Lei Shen burned their souls, they did not let their souls leave their bodies! Luo Feng was now essentially abandoning his original body, completely merging all his soul into the Void Tower! This meant leaving himself no retreat. This would indeed achieve the strongest attack! However, even if Luo Feng succeeded, his original body’s sea of consciousness would collapse, and he would have no way back! … “Die, die, die!” Luo Feng’s consciousness radiated an incredibly firm and frantic conviction! His soul completely merged into the Void Tower! The Void Tower, like a sharp cone, furiously stabbed at the transparent crystal sphere, which was covered with numerous golden secret patterns and emitted golden light! Meanwhile, the three miniature planets within the Void Tower continuously burned and consumed themselves, their volume shrinking. “Why hasn’t it broken yet?” “Still not broken!!!” Luo Feng was incredibly anxious. … “Awoo~~~” The Golden Horned Beast painfully shook its head, violently smashing it against the surrounding rock. The attack on its soul essence caused it immense suffering. The most critical part was that its soul had just suffered a severe blow a few hours earlier. And this human attack was no weaker than the last! … “Break! Break! Break!” Luo Feng’s consciousness was frenzied. He wasn’t afraid of death! But he was afraid of failure!!! Within the Void Tower, the three soul planets continued to diminish. Poof, poof, two of the smaller ones completely vanished into nothingness. Only the central soul planet remained! And its volume was only one-third of its original size. This blood-red soul planet was also continuously burning, a vast amount of mental energy replenishing the Void Tower. Burning, burning! Getting smaller and smaller! Luo Feng felt his consciousness gradually blurring. He understood… he was dying. “Kill it, kill it, kill it!!!” … In Yangzhou City, Jiangnan Base City, on the streets. White-haired elders, babbling infants—at this moment, everyone on the streets nervously stared at the screen. Among the crowd was Wei Wen, who watched the screen with extreme tension: “Luo Feng, Luo Feng, my brother, you, you must survive, survive!” On the screen! Luo Feng’s life signature had already mixed with the Devouring Beast’s life signature, clearly indicating a battle! Suffocating! The entire world was suffocating at this moment. “Boom!” The two mixed signatures suddenly erupted, seeming to intensify greatly. It was like the explosion of a dying star! Immediately after… Rapidly weakening! “The signatures are weakening, weakening, rapidly weakening!” A voice finally sounded on the screen, “Unable to distinguish whose signature it is; the two are completely mixed. Still weakening!” Wei Wen’s eyes widened. Xu Xin, Luo Hongguo, Gong Xinlan, Luo Hua, and others watching the TV nervously were also extremely tense. Everyone in the world was incredibly tense! … On the screen, the life signatures continuously weakened, weakened, weakened… Poof! Vanished into nothingness! The ethereal figures representing life signatures on the screen completely disappeared. Neither Luo Feng nor the Devouring Beast remained! One second, two seconds, three seconds… “Dead?” “Luo Feng and the Devouring Beast, both dead?” People on Earth had witnessed the Devouring Beast’s resurrection once before. So, they watched nervously! One minute, two minutes, three minutes… The Devouring Beast’s life signature did not reappear, nor did Luo Feng’s. The entire world fell silent! … At 16:10 Huaxia time, three Planetary-level powerhouses of humanity dived into the deep sea and discovered the massive corpse of the Devouring Beast. However, they were unable to damage its scales. News spread, and the world cheered! “The Devouring Beast is dead, it’s really dead!” “Let us remember their names!” “Hong, Lei Shen, Mohanderson, Easter, Tripathi Singh, Jia Yi, Sokolov, and Luo Feng! It is they who saved everyone on Earth; they gave us hope!” “Just like in myths, Prometheus, who suffered greatly for stealing fire, gave humanity fire, and Nuwa, who exhausted herself mending the sky, gave humanity a world to live in.” “And Hong, Lei Shen, Mohanderson, Easter, Tripathi Singh, Jia Yi, Sokolov, Luo Feng!” “They, however, gave us the hope of survival.” “Remember the names of these eight people forever!” “The oldest among them was 89, the youngest only 22!” … At 16:25 PM, a large number of monsters, including many King-level monsters, gathered in that sea area. This forced humanity to retreat immediately, unable to enter the seabed. That evening, sea monsters that had been frantically attacking human Base Cities around the globe rapidly retreated! When the Sun rose again the next day. Earth returned to peace. … Human history had turned a new chapter.
