Chapter 312

Bloodshed on the Ocean

Inside the spaceship, the five national leaders were breathing heavily, clearly still reeling from the suddenness of being enveloped by the vines. They hadn't even registered what was happening. The Moyun Battle Armor quickly retracted, revealing Luo Feng's face. "Luo Feng?" "Mr. Luo?" The five national leaders stared at the man before them in astonishment, then their faces lit up with wild joy. They knew they were saved. Xu Xin and Luo Hua, standing nearby, also showed their delight. Xu Xin rushed directly into Luo Feng's arms, hugging him tightly. "I was so scared, so scared I'd never see you again, never see Pingping and Xiaohai again..." "It's alright, wife," Luo Feng whispered softly. He held his wife for a moment before letting go. "Everyone," Luo Feng looked at the others, "I still have things to do. For now, please stay inside this spaceship. It's very safe in here." "Brother, be careful," Luo Hua urged. Luo Feng smiled, then gently pinched his wife's cheek before quickly departing, flying out of the cabin! ... Above the Pacific Ocean. Luo Feng looked up as the spaceship disappeared into the horizon. "It's time for a real battle!" "This bunch of scum from the Nuolanshan Family really thinks Earth is their backyard, to do with as they please!" Luo Feng hovered in mid-air, gazing towards the South American continent. A cold smile played on his lips, and he plunged directly into the sea below. With a splash, white waves erupted, and Luo Feng was already beneath the surface. ... Inside Luo Feng's Inner World. On the continent shrouded in golden mist, the Golden Horned Beast, which had been residing in the metal continent, suddenly vanished. Simultaneously, a human male appeared in its place. Logically, once any entity, be it metal or flesh-and-blood human, entered this Inner World, it would be directly disintegrated and killed. This was how the Golden Horned Beast had devoured those war bases. This disintegrating power was the 'power of the Inner World's origin.' Yet, when Luo Feng appeared... this power seemed to recognize its own child, flowing around Luo Feng without harming him in the slightest! "Luo Feng, go all out and kill them!" "The auxiliary AI I created is integrated into that spaceship and has already connected to Earth's satellite network. Any footage capturing this sea area will be 'snapped' away. Don't worry, no one will find out." ... The pursuit and slaughter! The enraged Nuolanshan Family Elite Squad, consisting of Tuolei Wu and the other eight Star-level Ninth-tier members, had been frantically chasing Luo Feng's eight Star-level Ninth-tier servants. The bloody, frenzied battle stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers. However, their speed was incredible, covering 50 kilometers per second. In just a few minutes, they had chased from the South American continent to the area where Luo Feng was lurking. "Whoosh whoosh~~" The seawater gently undulated, and the Sun was dazzling. "Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!" Tuolei Wu roared in his heart. Not long ago, he had confidently guaranteed to the ancestor, "Ancestor, absolutely nothing will go wrong, I stake my life on it!" But in the blink of an eye, all the hostages had been snatched away. How could he not be furious? They pursued relentlessly! They had more numbers, successfully killing one enemy Star-level Ninth-tier, but losing one of their own Star-level Eighth-tier. "None of you will escape!" Tuolei Wu's eyes were bloodshot. Fifteen Star-level Ninth-tier chasing seven Star-level Ninth-tier! The Star-level Ninth-tier members flew far ahead, the eighteen Star-level Eighth-tier were noticeably slower, and the twenty-six Star-level Seventh-tier were even slower. Just as Tuolei Wu and the group of Star-level Ninth-tier had flown past this sea area, the previously calm waters suddenly became turbulent, as if some colossal black monster was slowly rising from the seabed. Gradually, it revealed its back, sharp as blades and resembling a mountain range. "Look!" "What is that?" The eighteen Star-level Eighth-tier flying behind were incredibly alert. How could such a colossal creature, causing such a massive disturbance, go unnoticed? "I feel like it resembles the Devouring Beast we saw in the data," one team member observed carefully. "Devouring Beast???" "Look quickly!" "It really does!" "It's very similar, those black scales on its back also have golden patterns." "Its head is about to emerge." How important was the Devouring Beast? Compared to it, chasing those few individuals was meaningless. Just then, another group—the twenty-six Star-level Seventh-tier—also caught up. ... As the members of the Nuolanshan Family Elite Squad hovered in mid-air, observing closely, a colossal head, over a hundred meters long, finally broke through the surging seawater. That meant a single head was larger than an ordinary middle school sports field on Earth! Its sprawling back was like a mountain range! Immense! However, these elite squad members, having come to Earth from the cosmos, were well-traveled and remained calm. "Splash!" The giant monster in the seawater finally broke free. The seawater washed over its entire body, revealing black, blade-like scales that reflected dazzling iridescent light under the Sun. The most striking feature of its massive head was the two black, sky-piercing horns that seemed to threaten to tear through the heavens, making one's heart tremble. Dense, strange golden patterns coiled around the black horns, making them appear golden at first glance. A pair of colossal dark golden eyes! Like the eyes of heaven and earth! Cold and ferocious! "A Devouring Beast!!!" one team member shrieked excitedly. "It's a Devouring Beast!" "It's it, it's definitely it." Not a single member of the Nuolanshan Family Elite Squad was afraid; instead, they shouted with excitement. "Quick, notify the captain!" "Hurry." "This is great, this Devouring Beast is actually alive." ... Tuolei Wu and the fifteen Nuolanshan Guards were still in hot pursuit. "They're really fast," Tuolei Wu gnashed his teeth in frustration. Aside from killing one enemy during the initial melee, he couldn't catch them during the chase. Because the opponents were determined to escape, it was difficult to succeed in pursuit. But when Tuolei Wu thought of the guarantee he had made to the ancestor, and how things had turned out, he grew even more furious. "Beep beep." His smart optical computer vibrated on his arm. "Captain, Captain, it's a Devouring Beast, a living Devouring Beast!" an excited voice came through, and simultaneously, the screen displayed the scene of the Golden Horned Beast slowly emerging from the seabed. "Oh my god!" Tuolei Wu's eyes nearly popped out. The image on the smart optical computer screen made his soul tremble. While other team members might not know about the Golden Horned Beast, he did! That was a Golden Horned Beast, one of the peak bloodlines among Starry Sky Behemoths. Once it matured to its peak, it would be a Sector Lord Ninth-tier! An existence almost invincible below Immortal! A peak bloodline, a species on the verge of extinction, far rarer than even Immortal beings. "This is a Golden Horned Beast, and it's still a cub." Tuolei Wu felt a sense of reverence. Legend had it that a Golden Horned Beast at its peak was a true behemoth. Just a slight stomp or a flick of its tail could strip a planet of a layer of its surface, and at full power, it could directly blow up an entire planet! That was a peak Golden Horned Beast! A Sector Lord peak existence! "Quick, capture it!" Tuolei Wu roared. "Everyone, stop chasing, hurry, follow me." Tuolei Wu immediately transmitted a video image to the other fourteen team members via his smart optical computer, issuing the command. Some were still wondering why they weren't chasing, but after seeing the video, they all cheered excitedly and turned to fly back. ... Above the ocean. "Capture it!" "Capture it alive!" The eighteen Star-level Eighth-tier and twenty-six Star-level Seventh-tier members were all incredibly excited. However, the Golden Horned Beast, slowly emerging from the water, raised its head and coldly stared at the fastest group, the Star-level Eighth-tier, who were diving towards it. A hint of killing intent flashed in its cold eyes. Whoosh! A scaled tail, seemingly shaking heaven and earth, swept across the sky with astonishing speed. Nine of the eighteen Star-level Eighth-tier were directly struck. The first five to be hit instantly "boom"ed, their bodies shattering, blood splattering, and limbs flying. The other four were either crippled or severely injured. "Don't clash head-on, use skill." "Its body is massive; small-scale movements can't match human agility." The other team members broke out in a cold sweat, each moving like an electric serpent, their flight paths becoming erratic and unpredictable. This was indeed a weakness of the Golden Horned Beast. Back when Hong and Lei Shen burned their souls to fight the Golden Horned Beast, they initially relied on their smaller size and ability to change direction quickly. But... as one of the peak bloodlines, the Golden Horned Beast also had ways to compensate for its weaknesses: its entire body was a weapon! Claws! Horns! Tail! Wings! "Whoosh!" The Golden Horned Beast, its speed soaring, violently flapped its massive wings. Its wings were scaled, with sharp, blade-like scales along the edges. When the Golden Horned Beast unleashed its speed, its wings flapped wildly, and a member caught by the scaled wings was directly sliced into three pieces with a scream. "Its scale defense is too—" one team member shrieked, but his body was instantly torn into chunks of flesh by lightning-fast claws, blood flying everywhere. "Run!" "It's too strong—" The scaled tail, comparable in length to the Golden Horned Beast's body, whipped out, instantly sweeping across three team members like a whip, directly shattering them alive! Dealing with a dozen Star-level Ninth-tier might be troublesome, but against Star-level Eighth-tier and Star-level Seventh-tier, for a Golden Horned Beast that had already reached 'Star-level Seventh-tier,' it was simply a massacre! Four hooves, wildly clawing and stomping! Its wings, when violently flapped, were like two dark clouds descending! But the most bizarre and swift was its tail! In just a moment! All eighteen Star-level Eighth-tier were killed. Yes, the Golden Horned Beast deliberately targeted and killed the Star-level Eighth-tier. "Run!" "Run!" "Run quickly!" The Star-level Seventh-tier members completely collapsed. At this moment, a bloodthirsty madness flashed in the Golden Horned Beast's eyes. It opened its gaping maw, and an invisible force instantly enveloped a large area around it, completely engulfing the group of Star-level Seventh-tier Nuolanshan Family elite members. Their bodies rapidly shrank, simultaneously flying towards the Golden Horned Beast's mouth. The closer they got to its mouth, the smaller they became. Until they were tiny specks, disappearing into the black hole-like maw of the Golden Horned Beast. The Devouring Secret Technique, one of the Golden Horned Beast's three innate secret techniques! The Devouring Secret Technique is a cultivation talent that allows it to devour large amounts of metal into its 'Inner World,' and it also has an area-of-effect ability, capable of directly devouring and killing lifeforms weaker than itself. "Gulp!" The Golden Horned Beast seemed to burp, then seeing more than a dozen streaks of light rapidly approaching in the distance, it sank directly into the seawater, leaving only the lingering scent of blood.
