Start from Panlong and kill through the heavens

At the base of the mountain, crystallized waterfalls hang, their crimson ice crystals retaining their fleeting, splashing form at absolute zero, their interiors containing distorted nebula totems.

In the center of the divine kingdom stands the ruins of the Twilight Royal Court.

Nine hundred spiral columns are intersected at angles that defy geometry, and the surface of the columns is etched with a fading star map.

The royal court's dome had long since collapsed into a black hole-like vortex, occasionally spewing out a few silvery-white specks of light—the dying flickers of shattered fragments of time.

The dark blue metal bricks paving the ground continuously dissolved and reformed, with rusty mist seeping from the cracks. The mist rose to three inches before suddenly crystallizing and shattering into thorny nettles upon hitting the ground.

At the edge of the divine realm, space cracked and peeled up like aging skin, revealing a viscous ocean of dark matter behind it.

Occasionally, starship wreckage is pushed to the edge of the crack by the waves, and feather-like copper crystals immediately grow on the metal shell, then silently decompose into phosphorescent flames and merge into the eternal twilight.

Rean and the Ice Moon Palace Master arrived in the Twilight God Kingdom aboard the Ice Moon Palace. Instantly, they felt a powerful force descend upon them, which suppressed their strength to some extent.

"This Twilight Kingdom can weaken the immortal divine power within us. If we stay here for too long, our divine power will decrease to less than 10%, and even the most powerful cosmic venerable will fall into a deep sleep."

The Ice Moon Palace Master introduced him to everyone, while also reminding Li En that in everyone's eyes he was a newly entered Universe Venerable, with the weakest divine power, and that he should immediately flee this place if he could not hold on any longer.

The group ventured deeper into the Twilight Kingdom, encountering no danger along the way. Aside from occasional terrifying spatial vortexes that hindered their progress, no other dangerous creatures appeared.

However, as they delved deeper, they realized that the greatest danger in this world did not come from the outside, but from within themselves.

Their waning divine power made them somewhat impatient, and their aimless wandering, with no idea where the treasure was, began to breed anxiety and unease.

And some people have already started to back out.

“Why don’t we go back? There doesn’t seem to be any treasure here. There’s no point in continuing like this.” Venerable Yongji said in a low voice, his eyes blazing with fire.

"What kind of talk is this!" the Star River Sword Master roared, his voice booming like thunder. "We've already come this far, how can we give up halfway?"

The Star River Sword Master possessed strength approaching that of a top-tier cosmic overlord, and once he spoke, even the Eternal Silence Venerable dared not utter another word.

Just then, a terrifying spatial fluctuation suddenly came from ahead, which made everyone's spirits lift.

"Let's go take a look." Everyone used teleportation at the same time and appeared at the place where the spatial fluctuations came from. A huge beast appeared in front of them.

The strange beast coiled among the broken meteorite belt, its body like a flowing shadow, covered with layers upon layers of scales, each gleaming with a cold metallic luster, as if it could devour starlight.

Its back is covered with sharp bony spikes, winding like a mountain range, with scarlet spots shimmering at the end, like unextinguished lava.

Its head resembles a dragon but is not; its cheekbones are high, and a pair of horns twist upwards, their surface covered with spiral-shaped dark patterns.

What is most captivating are its eyes—like two blood moons hanging in the abyss, with chaotic vortexes flowing deep within the pupils.

Sometimes it shrinks to the tip of a needle, sometimes it spreads to fill the entire eye socket; wherever the gaze falls, even space itself seems to distort slightly.

Between the opening and closing of its eyelids, a wisp of purplish-black mist would leak out, swirling around the gaps in its scales like a living thing.

Its lower jaw has six pairs of chelicerae, which make a metallic clanging sound when they open and close, as if they could easily crush stars.

Its tail splits into three bone whips, each with barbs at the end. When swung, they leave behind fluorescent green afterimages, as if tearing through the void.

As it stretched out its body, the surrounding stardust seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, slowly merging into the patterns of its scales, as if the entire starry sky were its food. "What kind of monster is this?" Even the well-informed Star River Sword Master was somewhat surprised to see this strange beast, while the Ice Moon Palace Master and the others were completely bewildered.

Of the group, only Rean had a guess. This place was called the Twilight Kingdom, which had a weakening effect on divine power. Ordinary beasts could not stay here for long. Therefore, the beast in front of them either did not have divine power or had some special secret technique.

And considering the appearance of this strange beast, Rean thought of a special kind of strange beast in the original work—the World Beast.

The Beasts of the Realm were born in the "Dark Land of the Overturning Peak Realm," one of the three forbidden lands of the Cosmic Sea. They are super life forms nurtured by the Cosmic Sea and are born with a destructive instinct.

The initial number was one billion, and through mutual devouring and evolution, only one remained to become the "King of Beasts".

The levels are divided into six tiers, with each tier having different strengths and skills.

The appearance of the Beasts varies, but the most typical one is a two-headed, one-eyed creature with smooth, black skin, resembling a ferocious monster.

Some Beasts can change their form. Although the beast in front of him is not quite the same as the traditional Beasts, it gives Rean the feeling of being similar to the legendary Beasts.

The strength of a Beast can be evolved by devouring its own kind.

A first-tier world beast possesses the combat power of a true god (the strongest being in the universe) and is almost invincible among its peers.

It can advance to the second tier by devouring about 30 world beasts of the same level, and accelerate its growth by devouring miniature universes of true gods.

At the second tier, one obtains the "Blood Burning" secret technique.

The third level of mastery is the "Boundary Light Channel".

At the fourth rank, one possesses the "Boundary Light Domain," resulting in a significant leap in strength.

At the fifth level, one learns the secret technique of "Destruction," which can destroy a small universe with a single strike.

With tens of millions of sixth-order clones, its ability to protect itself is extremely strong.

In the lair of the Beast Realm, those of the same kind meet and fight to the death. It is a world of survival of the fittest. They grow by constantly killing and devouring each other. The surviving Beast Realm will evolve into a king, with the strength of a god-king, and can give birth to a vast army of Beast Realm.

If the beast before him was truly a World Beast, then its strength was absolutely terrifying; Rean even had the urge to turn and run.

"No, it's injured!" At this moment, Rean and the others noticed that the beast in front of them had a very weak aura, and could even be described as barely breathing.

It could be described as being on the verge of death.

If this was a newly born Beast of the Realm, and it was severely injured and on the verge of death, Rean felt that his group could kill it.

"Quick, let's kill it! That vortex behind it should lead to the real treasure trove!" Rean shouted, pointing behind the beast.

Following the sound, the Ice Moon Palace Master and the others indeed saw a giant vortex behind the strange beast, seemingly leading to a wider world.

At this moment, the beast had obviously noticed Rean and the others. It raised its huge eyes and revealed a cold gaze.

Although it was severely injured, it still didn't take these ants seriously.

"Roar!!" The beast let out a terrifying roar, then stood up abruptly, towering like a mountain. (End of Chapter)
