Starry Sky Behemoth

After leaving the Tawen Department, the Yunmo Star ship had been flying at near light speed. Given the advanced capabilities of the Yunmo Star ship, it effortlessly recorded all events occurring on the ground along their route, displaying them on screen. This allowed Luo Feng, Dilun, and the others to observe and gain a deeper understanding of this alien civilization. On the 18th day of their journey, they were nearing the Holy City. “Throughout our journey on the spaceship, we've frequently seen battles and killings below. What's going on?” Luo Feng asked Elder Sifanqi, puzzled, after emerging from the rest cabin and watching some videos. “Our Golden Horn Clan has a tribal rule: once a member reaches Universe-level, they must leave the tribe and begin wandering and adventuring. They must wander and gain experience for a thousand years, or reach Domain Lord-level, before they can return to the tribe,” Elder Sifanqi explained. “And when adventuring outside, battles and killings are quite normal.” “Not forbidden?” Luo Feng pressed. The clan's population wasn't particularly large to begin with. “Why forbid it? True power is forged through battle,” Elder Sifanqi said indifferently. “Furthermore, only by becoming an Undying God can one be considered the foundation of a clan. Otherwise, ordinary clan members with such short lifespans, who cannot become powerful... are ultimately useless for the survival of the entire clan.” “Your Highness, look, that's the Holy City ahead,” Elder Sifanqi said. The Yunmo Star ship began to decelerate. Luo Feng looked down, where an incredibly majestic ancient city stood on the endless wilderness. The city had a diameter of hundreds of thousands of kilometers. The most striking feature of the entire city was a pure golden statue, tens of thousands of kilometers tall. Even from the spaceship, Luo Feng could see it clearly. The spaceship descended. The hatch opened, and Luo Feng, Dilun, the five Sector Lords, Kashina, and Elder Sifanqi all disembarked. Luo Feng then put away the spaceship. “Do you see that statue?” Sifanqi pointed towards the tallest and most dazzling pure golden statue in the Holy City. “That is Xiluoduo! The great Xiluoduo! Countless powerhouses arrive from all corners of the Lasiao world every moment to pay homage. The entire holy statue stands 12,319 kilometers tall, with feet alone measuring 1,622 kilometers.” Luo Feng nodded, a hint of excitement stirring within him. A being capable of being worshipped by a clan for countless years. “Let's go, let's enter the city,” Elder Sifanqi smiled. “Your Highness, there's one thing you must remember: the Holy City holds a special status. Countless geniuses from our entire Golden Horn Clan gather here; this place represents the future of our clan. Therefore... fighting is forbidden within the Holy City. Any combat must take place in a massive Martial Arena outside the Holy City.” ... Luo Feng and his group also entered this bustling, ancient Holy City. The Holy City was densely populated. “Xiluoduo.” Luo Feng stood in the Holy Statue Plaza, gazing up at the towering pure golden holy statue. It possessed a pair of eyes that seemed to encompass the infinite universe, devoid of any sharpness or ferocity, holding only a serene tranquility. No matter how restless one's mood, simply looking at the holy statue would make all worries and anxieties vanish. “Although I haven't seen the real Xiluoduo, just looking at this holy statue, it's no wonder he could lead a clan to establish itself in the vast cosmos,” Luo Feng mused inwardly. Just as Luo Feng was reflecting on this great pioneer of the Golden Horn Clan, many Golden Horn clansmen in the Holy Statue Plaza looked at Luo Feng and his group with curiosity and surprise. “Look, those are humans.” “They're humans.” “I can smell the fleshy scent of flesh-and-blood beings, and they don't have life imprints either.” The commotion grew louder. More and more Golden Horn clansmen noticed Luo Feng and the few humans. Seeing humans in the Lasiao world was quite rare, but occasionally, some invited humans could be seen in the 'Holy City' of the Lasiao world. Any human who came was no ordinary individual. “Hmm?” Luo Feng also noticed he was being stared at. “Let's go,” Luo Feng commanded. “Yes, Your Highness,” the group complied. Suddenly— “Human, you've come to our Golden Horn Clan's Holy City with Ninth-tier Domain Lord strength. You must be an unparalleled genius among humans. I... Kanuonle, challenge you!” A youth with dark red skin, carrying a dark golden staff on his back, looking as if he were sculpted from metal, roared at Luo Feng. “A challenge?” Luo Feng glanced at the youth. This youth was also at Ninth-tier Domain Lord strength. “Your Highness, there's no need to pay him any mind,” Elder Sifanqi, standing beside Luo Feng, quickly said. “Indeed, many humans have visited the Holy City, including some unparalleled geniuses. There have even been instances of human geniuses competing against our Golden Horn Clan's geniuses. Some of these encounters even became legendary tales, which is why many young juniors are eager to challenge human geniuses whenever they see them. However, Your Highness only needs to ignore them; they wouldn't dare to pester you.” After Elder Sifanqi finished speaking, an invisible fluctuation of Undying laws spread out. This caused the surrounding Golden Horn clansmen to quickly back away in fright. “Hmph!” Elder Sifanqi let out a cold snort, and no one dared to block them again. Elder Sifanqi then smiled slightly and said, “Let's go, we'll head to the Elder's Divine Palace to pay our respects to the Elder.” Immediately, Luo Feng and his group departed under the gaze of countless Golden Horn clansmen in the Holy Statue Plaza. “Humans.” “Humans have come to the Holy City, and the leader is a Ninth-tier Domain Lord.” “He must be a human genius.” “An unparalleled human genius has arrived in the Holy City.” The news spread like a whirlwind throughout the Holy City. The Holy City gathered countless geniuses from the Golden Horn Clan's hundred thousand tribes. Each of these geniuses possessed a fighting spirit... When they learned that an unparalleled human genius had actually arrived in the Holy City, a sense of clan honor made countless geniuses roar with excitement, each eager to challenge the human genius. ... Luo Feng and his group, however, had already arrived outside the Elder's Divine Palace. “This, this...” Luo Feng's eyes widened as he looked into the distance. “This is, how could this... Impossible!” This was the first time Luo Feng had been so shocked since arriving in the Lasiao world, the homeland of the Golden Horn Clan. “Your Highness?” Elder Sifanqi and Kashina were both startled, surprised that the usually composed Prince Luo Feng would be so flustered. In the distance, a majestic divine palace was built upon a continuous mountain range. The palace was entirely dark gold, approximately a thousand kilometers tall, and covered an area of nearly ten thousand kilometers. Such a divine palace... with Luo Feng's experience, he had seen far more luxurious palaces than this, so he naturally wouldn't be surprised by it. However, from the entrance of this majestic palace, a black star chain, nearly a kilometer thick, extended out. This black star chain, a kilometer thick and nearly ten thousand kilometers long, pierced directly through the flesh and bones of a strange, ape-like behemoth, approximately 620 kilometers tall and entirely green. The entire behemoth squatted there, like a majestic mountain, barely shorter than the divine palace itself. “Star, star...” Luo Feng's eyes widened, his heart trembling. “A Starry Sky Behemoth!!!” The first time! Since possessing the Golden Horn Behemoth, though he had gained extensive knowledge and extraordinary experience, he had never seen a second Starry Sky Behemoth, not even a specimen or a corpse, let alone a living one! This was Luo Feng's first encounter with another Starry Sky Behemoth. However, this Starry Sky Behemoth was completely bound, with the black star chain penetrating deep into its flesh and bones. “Haha...” Elder Sifanqi laughed. “Your Highness is surprised by this Starry Sky Behemoth, haha. This Starry Sky Behemoth is a 'Huisuo Behemoth,' one of the twelve peak bloodlines of Starry Sky Behemoths, and it's at Sector Lord peak. Although it's only at Sector Lord peak, its true combat power is such that even many ordinary Undying Gods are no match for it. It's truly terrifying.” Luo Feng stared at the Starry Sky Behemoth, bound like a pet, sensing the profound sorrow it exuded. “How long has it been?” Luo Feng asked. “How long for what?” Elder Sifanqi was taken aback. “How long has this Starry Sky Behemoth been captured?” Luo Feng asked in a low voice. “It must be about twenty million years,” Elder Sifanqi said with emotion. “Starry Sky Behemoths have incredibly long lifespans. The lifespan limit for Sector Lords in our Golden Horn Clan and among humans is 1,000 eras, but for this Starry Sky Behemoth, it's ten times that.” “Why is it bound?” Luo Feng asked in a low voice. Elder Sifanqi also noticed Luo Feng's tone was off. “This Starry Sky Behemoth was captured by the Elder back then, but it stubbornly refused to submit. What kind of status and identity does the Elder possess? A peak Sector Lord Starry Sky Behemoth is useless to him. It was only captured because it is too rare.” “Indeed, the Elder is a Universe Venerable, so he naturally wouldn't care about a single Starry Sky Behemoth,” Luo Feng said in a low voice. “However, this Starry Sky Behemoth is incredibly stubborn; it absolutely refused to submit. Back then, it struggled and roared madly. We often heard its roars, and saw the blood flowing from its body and its broken fur during its struggles,” Elder Sifanqi sighed. “But the surrounding land had long been modified by the Elder; it couldn't destroy it at all. And the chain... directly bound its life core and body, so no matter how it struggled, it was useless. As time passed... it eventually gave up. But it never bowed its head. The Elder said back then... that the chains would only be removed when it finally bowed its head.” Luo Feng's heart trembled as he listened. Starry Sky Behemoths are very proud. Even the young Golden Horn Behemoth he had possessed was incredibly proud, looking down on others, slaughtering humans as if hunting livestock. Perhaps they were ferocious, perhaps they were ruthless, but this was their nature, born that way! To make them submit, it was truly too difficult. “Is this Your Highness's first time seeing a Starry Sky Behemoth?” Elder Sifanqi asked. “This Huisuo Behemoth possesses extraordinary abilities; at peak Sector Lord, it can defeat ordinary Undyings. Shall I introduce Your Highness to its origins?” Luo Feng remained silent. He knew far more than Sifanqi did. The Huisuo Behemoth, one of the twelve peak bloodlines of Starry Sky Behemoths, on par with the Golden Horn Behemoth! However, it was not a devouring type of behemoth. It belonged to the 'lightning and time' type of behemoths. Naturally cunning and ferocious. It possessed only one innate secret technique—Time Stasis! Although this 'Time Stasis' innate secret technique was unique, its power was imaginable. Relying on its cunning and ferocious nature and the 'Time Stasis' innate secret technique, the Huisuo Behemoth's combat power was astonishing, and its escape ability was also extremely strong. It could completely stand on par with the Golden Horn Behemoth, Yanxing Behemoth, and others.
