Chapter 153: The Golden Horned Beast Appears
In the world of Swallowed Star.
"Babata… did you detect that special energy fluctuation?"
Deep in the ocean, Luo Feng and Babata were communicating.
Ever since everyone left the Swallowed Star world, Luo Feng had begun preparing for the possession of the Golden Horned Beast.
The Golden Horned Beast was born on Earth. It only appeared after growing to the Stellar Realm.
Luo Feng estimated the time based on the novel. In a few months at most, the Golden Horned Beast would appear.
Therefore, Luo Feng decided to take the initiative and actively search for the Golden Horned Beast.
"Where did you get this information? Is it true… We've searched almost six of the seven oceans… and there's still no trace of the Golden Horned Beast!"
Babata's voice rang out.
After receiving news that there was a Golden Horned Beast on Earth, he immediately developed an energy detector.
It could detect abnormal energy. With this energy detector, the Golden Horned Beast naturally couldn't escape their search.
And the most likely place for the Golden Horned Beast to hide was deep in the ocean.
Now, Luo Feng had already searched several oceans in a row. However, he hadn't found any trace of the Golden Horned Beast.
"This shouldn't be…"
Luo Feng murmured, having not found any trace of the Golden Horned Beast for several days, he was starting to doubt himself.
"Let's search for a while longer; if we still can't find it, then we'll just have to wait for it to emerge on its own…"
Luo Feng plunged into the deep sea.
Just then, Babata's excited voice rang out.
"The Golden Horned Beast has appeared… It's in the Atlantic Ocean!"
"The Atlantic Ocean?" Luo Feng was stunned when he heard this; they had started searching from the Atlantic Ocean.
How did they not find it?
Luo Feng quickly exited the ocean and flew towards the Atlantic Ocean.
The Golden Horned Beast Appears in the Atlantic Ocean
Atlantic Ocean.
The closer to the ocean, the more Vicious Beasts there were. Therefore, here, humans had specially built a war base over five hundred meters long.
This war base resembled a ferocious monster perched on the river.
Inside the war base, the setting sun shone through.
Several soldiers were patrolling here when suddenly, they cried out in alarm.
"Look… what's that?!"
"A King-level Vicious Beast, quickly sound the alarm…"
A piercing alarm suddenly blared, then echoed throughout the entire war base.
The previously relaxed war base instantly seemed to be wound up, and countless soldiers immediately took their positions, ready to begin combat.
Under the glow of the setting sun, a colossal creature appeared before everyone.
It was a monster over 180 meters long, resembling a lion, covered in house-sized scales.
Each scale was as sharp as a blade.
It also had a pair of wings on its back, spanning 200 meters wide, covered in black scales, as if cast from steel.
On its head was a single horn, proudly pointing as if to pierce the sky.
Golden patterns coiled around the horn, extending from the horn to its neck and across its entire body.
The entire Vicious Beast seemed to be clad in a golden and black mixed armor.
A pair of dark golden eyes, like the eyes of a Heavenly God, looked down upon all creation.
Ferocious. Violent emotions lurked within it.
This was a terrifying entity that had never appeared on Earth before.
If Luo Feng were here, he would recognize it at a glance as the Golden Horned Beast he had been longing for.
"The King-level monster is courting death in the air, quickly shoot it with the laser cannon…"
A command rang out from within the war base.
Three terrifying white beams of light struck the unknown monster clad in black and gold armor.
The light beams dissipated. The giant beast's scales were not damaged in the slightest.
"Woo…"
A low sound, like the roar of a Heavenly God, echoed between heaven and earth.
Within hundreds of miles around, all the monsters lowered their heads in fear; this was pressure from the soul.
"What kind of monster is this…"
The people in the war base were terrified after seeing this scene.
What kind of monster wasn't even afraid of a laser cannon?
Rumble.
Two massive sea monsters broke out of the water. These two monsters were the two Emperor-level monsters of the sea.
The seawater began to boil. Countless sea monsters began to emerge from the water.
They looked at the mysterious Golden Horned Beast like deities. As if they were its younger brothers.
The Golden Horned Beast roared towards the sky. As if announcing its arrival.
After the Golden Horned Beast let out its declarative roar, the other two Emperor-level monsters also let out earth-shattering roars.
One was a giant Dragon, thousands of meters long, similar to those in Chinese mythology, with lightning flashing all over its body.
The other was an eight-tentacled octopus, like a floating island.
The roars spread out in all directions like waves.
Countless monsters, upon hearing this sound, began to follow the river and invade the inland areas of the human world.
Emergency Meeting at God of War Palace
Inside the top conference room of the God of War Palace.
Dozens of council members in golden robes, and Gods of War in white robes, were holding an emergency meeting here.
"The doomsday disaster for our Earth has arrived…"
A dark-skinned president spoke with a grim expression.
Upon hearing his words, everyone in the conference room's expression changed.
Finally, a video was played. It was the video of the Golden Horned Beast.
"Based on some documents we researched from the ruins, we discovered that this terrifying monster is called a Starry Sky Beast… Starry Sky Beasts are extremely rare, and any Starry Sky Beast, once it grows up, can reach the Cosmic Realm, easily destroying a planet…"
"This giant beast is even a Devouring-type among them…"
An elder revealed the identity of the giant beast, then spoke with a worried expression: "If this giant beast grows up, the entire Earth will be destroyed with it…"
As soon as he said this, the entire conference room erupted in discussion.
"What is a Starry Sky Beast?"
"What is the Cosmic Realm?"
People were shocked by the news the elder spoke of. Some, however, were confused.
Earth's civilization had developed many ancient civilization ruins, and many forces knew some basic information about the Universe.
For example, Hong, Thunder God, and others even understood the data on the Cloud Vine. So they had a strong sense of crisis.
They wanted to strive to reach the Stellar Realm.
However, some information was too shocking, so it was not publicized. Now, many people in this conference room did not know these things.
"Quiet!"
Hong, as the strongest, spoke. The conference hall immediately fell silent.
"The Council Member Realm is just our self-evaluation method; this realm is also called Planet Realm First Stage… This realm is divided into nine stages!"
"Above Planet Realm is Stellar Realm, and Cosmic Realm. A Cosmic Realm expert can easily destroy Earth… If this mysterious monster is a Starry Sky Beast, then this is an unprecedented crisis!"
Hong explained.
"Please send out all the information you have found regarding the Starry Sky Beast… We need to assess what level of strength this Starry Sky Beast has reached!"
As soon as Hong finished speaking, the elder from before spoke again: "According to the information excavated from the ancient ruins, a Cosmic Realm Starry Sky Beast's body is at least several thousand meters, or even tens of thousands of meters long…"
"This deep-space giant beast is only 180 meters, I estimate it should be Planet Realm Eighth or Ninth Stage, or perhaps Stellar Realm…"
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
If it was only this level, humanity still had a chance to resist.
"Where's Luo Feng? Why hasn't Luo Feng arrived yet…"
Hong suddenly asked. He looked towards an empty seat.
Luo Feng!
A junior whom Hong greatly valued. He had once displayed incredibly terrifying power.
That kind of power made even Hong feel a deep sense of dread.
Luo Feng said that his power was borrowed. Hong also didn't know how he borrowed that power.
However, if he could borrow that powerful force again, perhaps he could contend with this Starry Sky Beast.
"I personally notified Council Member Luo, but he hasn't come…"
Ice and Snow Emperor, the third council member, second only to Hong and Thunder God, spoke.
Their meeting was conducted in a simulated space. No matter where one was, entering the simulated space was instantaneous.
Luo Feng hadn't entered the simulated space. Either he didn't want to come, or he encountered an urgent matter on his end.
Hong frowned upon hearing this, then personally contacted Luo Feng.
A moment later, the call connected.
"Luo Feng, where are you? Come to the God of War Palace for a meeting immediately…"
"Something that threatens the survival of humanity has occurred!"
Hong spoke very concisely.
"Is it about that Golden Horned Beast? I know, that Golden Horned Beast's strength has reached the Stellar Realm, you're not its match… Just leave it to me!"
"I'm heading towards the West Atlantic Ocean right now…"
Luo Feng's voice echoed throughout the God of War Palace.
As soon as he spoke, the entire place fell silent. No one had expected Luo Feng to say such a thing.
A guy who had just become a council member. Claiming he would single-handedly resolve a Stellar-level Star Sea Beast?
It was simply absurd.
"Oh my goodness, the Golden Horned Beast…"
The elder who had previously spoken about the Star Sea Beast's information let out a cry of surprise after hearing Luo Feng's words.
"The Star Sea Beasts in the Universe are extremely powerful, and Star Sea Beasts have many bloodlines… Ordinary ones can only grow to the Cosmic Realm, but powerful ones can grow to Sector Lord, which is the strongest bloodline in the Universe…"
"The Golden Horned Beast is one of them, and it's a metal-attribute one. Golden Horned Beasts are extremely ferocious, violent, and highly aggressive…"
"Even a Golden Horned Beast in the Early Stage of the Stellar Realm can have combat power comparable to a Stellar Peak…"
The data the elder had unearthed contained relevant information about the Golden Horned Beast. But it was scarce.
Now, Luo Feng had named the giant beast. The elder immediately remembered.
As soon as he said this, the entire conference room fell silent.
Everyone was thinking, "It's over…" "There's no hope…"
Hong and Thunder God only had Planet Realm cultivation. But this Golden Horned Beast was at the Stellar Realm.
What was even more critical was that this Stellar Realm Golden Horned Beast was stronger than other Stellar Realm beings.
Early Stage Stellar. Could already rival Peak Stellar.
With such terrifying strength, how could humanity cope?
Use nuclear bombs? 50 million tons of nuclear bombs?
Nuclear bombs were powerful. However, the large amount of nuclear radiation produced after using nuclear bombs would also cause mutations in the monsters.
Moreover, these nuclear bombs might not even hit the Golden Horned Beast.
A desperate crisis enveloped everyone.
"Luo Feng, did you hear that? Don't be impulsive… This Stellar Realm Golden Horned Beast is too powerful, don't fight it head-on… Let's first discuss a countermeasure!"
Hong hurriedly spoke to Luo Feng. He believed Luo Feng must have a trump card.
But this Golden Horned Beast was simply too terrifying. Acting rashly against it was too risky.
"I know what I'm doing…"
Luo Feng replied, then hung up the call.
The entire place was silent.
"Council Member Luo is too impulsive; if it were a Planet Realm monster, we would still have hope… But a Stellar Realm, and a Golden Horned Beast at that, the chance of victory is less than ten percent…"
"Council Member Luo should have a trump card, but against this Stellar Realm Golden Horned Beast… it's probably a bit uncertain. We can't put all our hope on him; we must discuss a plan…"
"If it's truly beyond salvation, then we'll activate the National Legacy Plan…"
A group of people discussed, and the atmosphere among them was incredibly heavy.
No one said Luo Feng was too arrogant or anything.
No matter what, Luo Feng was now going to deal with the Golden Horned Beast.
Whether he failed or succeeded, he was a hero.
If he succeeded, then everything would be fine. Everyone would open champagne and celebrate properly.
If he failed, being able to provide some data on the Golden Horned Beast for everyone was still heroic!
The entire conference room, whether it was Martial Artist Hong, Thunder God, and others, or the leaders of various countries, and the weapon experts specially invited, they were all racking their brains to find a solution.
They were all members of Earth. No one was willing to give up on Earth.
The elder from before suddenly spoke again.
"Not good, I just found out that this Golden Horned Beast also has a method of devouring metal to become stronger. It has just emerged, and this is its weakest time…"
"If we wait for it to devour enough metal, then what we'll face is a High-Stage Stellar, or even Cosmic Realm Golden Horned Beast…"
One statement shocked the entire audience!
