Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 54: Surprise, surprise, and excitement?

Children's Day is here again.

After giving holiday gifts to his two nephews who had just started elementary school, Lu Jin figured that the Golden Horned Beast Luo Feng's cooldown period had passed, so he transformed into a streak of light and flew out of Jiangnan Base City, heading towards the Pacific Ocean.

"Huh? No?"

After flying around the Pacific Ocean several times, Lu Jin still couldn't find any trace of the Golden Horned Beast, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Could it be that Luo Feng foresaw his mastery of divine skills and ran away in advance to avoid a beating?
'Hmph, you can't escape!'

With a slight smirk, Lu Jin, who was over the western Pacific Ocean, flew towards the Indian Ocean.

The Earth is only so big, where can you, Luo Feng, run to?
Unless we can fly out of Earth, finding the Golden Horned Beast is only a matter of time.

Persistence pays off. In the afternoon, Lu Jin finally found traces of the Golden Horned Beast in the Arctic Ocean.

"You wretched creature, why don't you come out and face your death?!"

Lu Jin's stern shout reached the ears of Luo Feng, the golden-horned behemoth hiding beneath the glacier.

"They've already reached the Arctic Ocean, and they're still haunting us?!"

Luo Feng cursed inwardly, then transmitted his voice, saying, "Lu Jin, I told you I'm Luo Feng, not a Devouring Beast."

"Shut up! I, the Speaker, will not tolerate you, this inherently evil Devouring Beast, defiling the illustrious name of my human heroes!"

Lu Jin shouted without any politeness.

Luo Feng: "."

'Luo Feng, go! This kid hasn't broken through to the Stellar level yet, beat him up!'

Babata Arch Fireway.

Through the detection of the Meteorite Star probe in the Crystal Core Space, it was discovered that Lu Jin's life level was still at the peak of the ninth level of planetary life, and Babata secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Feng can definitely handle anything that doesn't reach the stellar level, so don't panic.

'Yeah, this kid definitely deserves a beating. Let's give him a good beating first.'

Luo Feng nodded, and with a flap of his scaled wings, he broke through the seawater and glacier, flying directly to the sky above the glacier.

"You inherently evil Devouring Beast, make your move, or you'll fall before I even have a chance to use my full strength."

Standing in mid-air, Lu Jin spoke with an arrogant expression.

'Boil!'

Luo Feng cursed inwardly, activated his innate secret technique 'Enhancement', and unleashed the secret technique 'Absolute Space,' instantly increasing his speed as he charged straight at Lu Jin.

"As expected of a naturally evil Devouring Beast, it actually abandons all martial ethics and resorts to sneak attacks?"

Lu Jin scoffed dismissively, selectively ignoring the fact that he was the one who had told Luo Feng to make the first move.

He's quite good at standing on a moral high ground and pointing fingers at others.

"Wow—"

The next moment, boundless black light surged around Lu Jin, and his second-level light domain instantly spread out, covering an area of ​​several thousand meters.

Thanks to the cultivation guidance from the realm of light to the complete laws of light in the "Light and Shadow Sword Manual", coupled with his own talent for cultivating the laws of light at the level of a darling of the original laws of light.

A month ago, Lu Jin's mastery of the field of light broke through to the second level, and the power of the field rose to another level.

'Holy crap! A field of light?!'

Babata's exclamation echoed in Luo Feng's mind.

Damn it!
First there was Hong and Thor, and now there's Lu Jin. How come all the top talents on Earth can comprehend domain power at the planetary level?
Uh, no, Luo Feng, as a descendant of the Meteorite Star, doesn't have that.

At that moment, Babata couldn't help but feel intense doubt.

Could it be that after waiting for tens of thousands of years, it picked a dud? Otherwise, why hasn't Luo Feng comprehended the domain?

Babata wasn't the only one experiencing self-doubt; Luo Feng felt the same way. Hong had a domain of light, and Thor had a domain of lightning, so it's understandable that these two comprehended their own domains.

After all, they've been cultivating for decades, so it's understandable that they have the talent to comprehend a new domain.

But Lu Jin is seriously abnormal; this guy hasn't even been a martial artist for a full year yet!

It's one thing to level up so quickly, but how did you even manage to comprehend a domain?
Could it be that domains are just commonplace for planetary-level martial artists?
Moreover, the Golden Horned Beast, despite being a favorite of the fundamental laws of metal, is not as powerful as Babata claims.
Well, it's normal for Babata to boast and speak with a touch of artistry.

As the field of light spread out, Luo Feng felt himself sinking into a quagmire. Not only did his speed plummet, but his ability to exert his strength was also severely restricted.

"Foolish Devouring Beast, are you surprised? Unexpected? Exciting?"

As he spoke, a look of regret appeared on Lu Jin's face: "What a pity~, you have already committed murder, and I cannot spare you, otherwise you would not be a bad mount."

With that, Lu Jin flipped his right hand, and a white-gold battle sword covered with secret patterns appeared in his hand.

"Floating light!"

With his Radiant Sword pointing straight ahead, Lu Jin shouted and activated his innate secret technique, the 'Divine Mantra of Light.' The immense light-elemental power within his body surged forth, unleashing a white sword arc towards the Golden Horned Beast.

"Damn it! We're going to die! Run!"

Sensing the power contained in this sword strike, Babata hurriedly urged.

"Shh!"

Babata's urging came too late. Before Luo Feng could react, the white sword arc he unleashed instantly struck the golden-horned behemoth, whose speed was severely restricted within the light field.

"clang!"

"puff!"

The unstoppable white sword arc severed the golden-horned behemoth's blocking claws. Then, the sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out, scales shattered, and blood splattered as the giant tail behind the golden-horned behemoth was cleanly severed by the undiminished power of the white sword arc.

"Roar--"

The pain of losing its tail swept over its entire body, and the golden-horned giant Luo Feng couldn't help but roar in anger.

"A fleeting glimpse!"

Another black sword arc was unleashed, not only incredibly fast but also with explosive power.

"puff!"

A black sword flashed, slicing through the golden-horned beast's right forelimb as easily as cutting tofu.

"Light Fades!"

"Shuying!"

The almost transparent white sword light, and the black sword light that seemed to devour all light, severed the two limbs of the golden-horned beast in succession.

"Judgement!"

Countless white sword beams shot out, turning the enormous golden-horned beast into a 'one-legged beast' and riddling it with holes, leaving not a single intact scale on its body.

After the Six Styles of Light and Shadow and the Five Swords were used, the Golden Horned Beast Luo Feng was completely outmaneuvered by Lu Jin.

In other words, the primordial core is the core of the Golden Horned Beast. As long as the energy in the internal world of the primordial core is sufficient, it can quickly heal all physical injuries.

Jia Lujin's goal wasn't really to kill Luo Feng; he intentionally held back, otherwise the Golden Horned Beast would have been defeated long ago.

"Holy Judgement!"

Raising his Radiant Sword high, Lu Jin was about to unleash a sword technique from the sky on Luo Feng when he saw a faint golden light emanating from the pitiful Golden Horned Beast.

Immediately afterwards, a gray progress bar appeared above the head of the golden-horned behemoth, with a line of small text following it.

— [Cooldown Time: One Month]

Seeing this, Lu Jin paused in his movements, and the platinum energy giant sword that had already condensed in mid-air did not fall.
