Golden Armored Monster

God Lord Pue and his companions destroyed the spatial passage, no longer caring what happened within the damaged sacrificial tower. All they cared about now was diligently cultivating powerful descendants for their race. Meanwhile, inside the sacrificial tower. Zizhong King was small and slender, with a ferocious countenance. A faint purple bell-shaped shadow shimmered around his body, and an invisible pressure spread outwards as he stared intently at the figure before him. Luo Feng, however, merely fanned his wings slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips as he watched Zizhong King. In terms of physique among the countless races of the vast cosmos, Luo Feng was indeed of a very average build. However, Zizhong King, being only 1.6 meters tall and slender, gave Luo Feng a slight advantage. “I underestimated you,” Zizhong King rasped. “And I didn't expect you to be so devious,” Luo Feng said softly. “The treasure was originally mine, yet you ended up with it. I suppose you plundered quite a few items after Cangjin King's death, didn't you?” Zizhong King's scale-covered claws clenched, clearly seething with rage. Anyone who had the chance to claim a street full of gold ingots, only to end up with a mere truckload while their opponent took a hundred times more, would be furious! “Originally yours?” Luo Feng sneered, “Among these are the treasures of Huci King, Yechen King, Ice Blade, and Cangjin King! This sacrificial tower's treasure... it originally belonged to the indigenous races of Yan Ji Continent! Which part of it was yours?” “I was the last one standing in the battle, so naturally, it belongs to me,” Zizhong King snorted coldly. “A battle of attrition, where one after another fell, leaving only two alive,” Luo Feng chuckled softly. “In this great slaughter... to survive is to be a victor, and I am the true victor.” “Devious,” Zizhong King gritted his teeth. He had burned his Undying God Body, expending a Fire God Origin Crystal to eliminate Cangjin King, only for the majority of the treasure to fall into Luo Feng's hands. “You're not so bad yourself.” “First, you concealed your strength. Despite having the power to deal with me, you chose to burn 3% of your Undying God Body to hide yourself. You let the strongest Cangjin King... and the rest of us fight it out. Yechen King died, Ice Blade died, Huci King died, and even at the very last moment, you were still roaring, urging me to fight desperately! Clearly, your plan was... to have all four of us wear down Cangjin King's strength, and then you'd deliver the killing blow,” Luo Feng said softly. “In terms of cunning and ruthlessness, how could I compare to you? I merely have more patience!” “Gagagaga...” Zizhong King let out a grating laugh. “Well said. In terms of tactics, I surpass you, but your life-saving and stealth abilities are stronger than mine.” “However!” “The ultimate treasure, it's still mine!” Zizhong King's voice still echoed in the passage when a purple bell suddenly expanded, directly enveloping Luo Feng. The moment Zizhong King moved, Luo Feng's wings vibrated violently, unleashing the Three-Shake Cosmic Shuttle. Whoosh! His speed instantly soared, and he whistled directly into a winding passage nearby, quickly fleeing along it. “Don't escape!” Zizhong King, with the faint bell shadow around his body, desperately pursued him from behind. Swish! Swish! The distance between them rapidly widened. Even Cangjin King, a peak King-level powerhouse, could only rely on other means to hinder Luo Feng's speed in such winding passages, let alone Zizhong King, whose strength was far inferior. He had no way to stop Luo Feng... The distance instantly grew so vast that Luo Feng was completely out of sight. Invisible to the naked eye, and undetectable. “Bastard.” Zizhong King's eyes burned with anger and unwillingness. “I must kill you, I must.” Luo Feng had obtained most of the treasure this time, and he also knew Zizhong King's great secret—that mysterious ancient bell. Both these points made Zizhong King want to kill Luo Feng. “No matter the cost, I must kill him.” “A powerful trump card is a hidden trump card. Once all powerhouses know I possess this ancient bell, they will guard against me. Moreover, some super-beings... might even target me to seize this treasure.” “I must kill him as soon as possible.” “Chase.” Zizhong King relentlessly pursued from behind. Although he couldn't see Luo Feng, he could only rush out of the sacrificial tower at his fastest speed. ...Luo Feng flew out of the core passage, passed through the ordinary residential area, and finally exited the sacrificial tower through its entrance. “I'm out,” Luo Feng said, a smile appearing on his face as he looked at the vast rocks and soil around him. “I was chased so miserably.” “Inside the sacrificial tower, I couldn't unleash my full combat power. It was too stifling. The widest corridor was only about 1 kilometer, my Golden Horned Beast's massive body would be squeezed into a compressed biscuit.” Luo Feng grinned, then immediately switched bodies. In less than half a second... a colossal creature appeared amidst the dirt and dust. It had a massive body over a hundred kilometers long, entirely golden, with incredibly thick hooves and claws, a pair of spread golden wings, and dark golden eyes. “Roar~~” Hot air spewed from its nostrils. “After obtaining the King Armor, I've never truly fought a major battle. Zizhong King, this will be the first.” The Golden Horned Beast coiled amidst the endless dirt and dust, easily pushing it aside. For the powerful Golden Horned Beast, this thick dirt and dust was no different from the air resistance humans experience on Earth. ...The Golden Horned Beast coiled there, gazing down as if a giant watching an ant's nest, waiting for the little ant to emerge. “This human is weaker and can't teleport. Once he's outside the sacrificial tower and I find him, he won't escape. I can teleport!” “Human, you can't escape!” Zizhong King, transforming into a streak of light, finally flew out from the sacrificial tower's entrance. Whoosh! The moment he flew out, Zizhong King furiously unleashed his Undying Divine Power, filled with murderous intent, attempting to scan in all directions. He also used his detector, and simultaneously released his Law Domain... In short, Zizhong King employed every method available, eager to find the human 'Yang' immediately. “Ah!” Zizhong King stared in astonishment at the colossal creature before him, craning his neck to look at the behemoth. Even coiled, the Golden Horned Beast's height exceeded 80 kilometers. The size comparison between the two was like a small human on Earth looking up at a monster more than ten times taller than the Himalayan Mountains. “What a massive creature! Where did this monster come from? A demon race? A Starry Sky Behemoth?” Zizhong King wondered, puzzled. “Roar!” The Golden Horned Beast had been silently waiting there. The moment Zizhong King appeared, it unhesitatingly swung its right hoof-claw... This right hoof-claw, transformed by the 'Beast God Transformation' and 'Xueluo Power,' appeared exceptionally thick and robust. It was nearly twice as thick as a normal Golden Horned Beast's right hoof-claw in proportion to its body, and its individual claws, like massive blades, were incredibly ferocious. Whoosh! With one claw strike! Space collapsed, and the dirt and dust instantly plunged into spatial turbulence. Both the Golden Horned Beast and Zizhong King entered the spatial rift. Bang~~~ One had deliberately waited, while the other was startled and perhaps wanted to clash head-on to gauge the monster's strength. In any case, at close range, this fierce claw strike directly slammed into Zizhong King's body. “Rumble~~~” Inside the spatial rift, amidst the endless spatial turbulence, Zizhong King steadied himself. “Roar~~” The Golden Horned Beast flew forward, pressing its attack. “What a terrifying monster!” “It's actually a peak King-level combat power!” Zizhong King was greatly astonished. Whoosh! The Golden Horned Beast, with its immense size and the King Armor adorning it, vibrated its wings, achieving a speed several times faster than Luo Feng's Earthling True Body. The endless sea of fire created by the three flame bells controlled by Zizhong King seemed to stagger and was then breached by a dazzling golden river. “A speed even more terrifying than that human Yang!” After only two exchanges, Zizhong King was completely disheartened. “Even in my peak state, I wouldn't gain the slightest advantage against this monster.” “And inside the sacrificial tower, my Undying God Body suffered severe damage; my strength is less than half,” Zizhong King said, both anxious and furious. He didn't want to fight this monster; he desperately wanted to find Luo Feng. “What's going on? Where did that human escape to? And why did a monster suddenly appear? Wait... this monster resembles the legendary Silverwing King: its body size, the crown on its head, its thick hooves and claws, its wings... The only difference is the color. Before, it was entirely silver; now it's entirely golden. Changing the body's surface color is easy enough, so it should be the Silverwing King. The Silverwing King belongs to the human faction... and Yang is human, so it's very likely Yang called a friend.” “Bastard!” “It's exactly as I feared, the worst-case scenario! The moment he exited the sacrificial tower, he summoned a powerhouse from his faction! This golden monster is probably the first to arrive, and it's highly likely other powerhouses will follow.” As Zizhong King thought this, despite his extreme unwillingness, he could only choose to leave. Swish! He teleported, vanishing into thin air. After Zizhong King disappeared, the Golden Horned Beast vanished, and then Luo Feng's Earthling True Body reappeared. “Hmm...” Luo Feng nodded slightly. “Undoubtedly, the Golden Horned Beast possesses peak King-level combat power. Although it's slightly lacking in law comprehension, the tenfold surge in cosmic law compatibility and the self-created peak ultimate techniques compensate for this shortcoming, granting me true peak King-level combat power.” “But its weaknesses are also very obvious.” “True peak King-level powerhouses are either skilled in teleportation, or adept at time suspension, and so on. In short, they generally possess powerful law-based abilities,” Luo Feng mused. “It seems I still need to improve; my strength isn't enough yet.” The Golden Horned Beast's combat power was formidable, but it couldn't teleport or use time suspension. These 'teleportation' and 'time suspension' were life-saving ultimate moves derived from cultivating Space Law or Time Law, respectively. Luo Feng lacked these ultimate moves. However, he gained life-saving abilities from the Wu God Wings and the King Armor. “Whoosh!” Luo Feng transformed into a silver streak of light, quickly leaving the spatial rift and returning to Yan Ji Continent. He boarded a spaceship and proceeded at sub-light speed above Yan Ji Continent... ...High above the distant icy and snowy plains of Yan Ji Continent. “Human!” “Human!” Zizhong King, his body covered in scales and his face ferocious, clenched his fists. His powerful energy aura caused the surrounding space to shatter, and the strong shockwaves generated a hurricane across the tens of thousands of kilometers of icy plains below. “You stole a vast amount of treasure that should have been mine, and the sacrificial tower's treasure!” “And you know my secret.” “I... I must kill you, I must kill you.” Zizhong King's eyes gleamed with cold malice, a hint of ferocity flashing through them as he seemed to be devising various schemes to deal with Luo Feng.
