Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 24 The Kirishima Incident

"Venina!"

Li Yao stared at Vinina's corpse and closed his eyes in anguish.

A strong sense of resentment and hatred overwhelmed Li Yao's mind, but at this moment his body had been completely frozen by Shen Mu, and he was powerless to break free.

Suddenly, Li Yao trembled slightly, and a special primal force wave swept out and spread from his body.

hum!

The light around Li Yao instantly distorted, and a surge of immense power swept outwards, instantly breaking free from Shen Mu's icy seal.

call out!

In the next instant, thirteen golden streaks of light burst forth from Shen Mu's throwing knife pouch, piercing through Li Yao's heart, throat, dantian, and other vital points in a matter of moments.

"Uh..."

Li Yao's expression froze on the joy of his breakthrough, but a strong sense of weakness instantly swept over him, and the miniature primal force planet he had just condensed was completely shattered by Shen Mu's flying knife.

As a transmigrator, Shen Mu naturally knew that once he killed Vinina, Li Yao might break through to the next level, so he had been keeping an eye on him for a long time.

If Li Yao were to break through Shen Mu's defenses and escape, Shen Mu might as well find a block of tofu and smash his head against it.

"You should have recorded this as well: Li Yao broke free of my ice seal and intended to attack me. According to the rules of the War God Palace, I have the right to kill him."

Shen Mu looked at the middle-aged man in a Tang suit from the security department beside him and explained the basis for his explanation.

"I understand the situation. Li Yao was dissatisfied with the general's lawful killing of Vinina and attempted to attack the general, but was killed on the spot."

In the conversation between Shen Mu and the middle-aged man in Tang suit, Li Yao, who broke free from Shen Mu's ice seal and tried to escape, was directly labeled as having attempted to attack a councilor of the War God Palace.

Then Shen Mu looked at Luo Feng beside him with a serious expression: "Inspector Luo, you openly fought with a War God-level martial artist in the base city, violating the internal regulations of the Limit Martial Arts Academy. I am holding you accountable in my capacity as inspector."

Upon hearing Shen Mu's words, the middle-aged man in the Tang suit wanted to say that this Inspector Luo Feng had not only violated the internal regulations of the Limit Martial Arts Academy, but also the regulations of the War God Palace.

However, he also knew that Councilor Shen Mu's attitude clearly indicated that he was protecting his own, and that the strength shown by Inspector Luo Feng was not that of an ordinary high-level war god, so he naturally wouldn't say anything more.

At this time, Luo Feng had also found information about Shen Mu online. After seeing the story of how Shen Mu rose to power, he immediately felt a sense of goodwill towards him because he was so similar to him.

"Yes, Inspector Shen, I am willing to accept all accountability from the martial arts school."

Luo Feng wasn't stupid either. The martial arts school's accountability measures were ineffective and clearly just a matter of upholding procedural justice.

Half an hour later.

In a private room of a high-end hotel in the main urban area of ​​Jiangnan Base City, Shen Mu was holding Luo Feng accountable according to the law.

"Thank you for your help, Inspector Shen. Otherwise, I might have really caused a disaster and implicated ordinary people."

Luo Feng calmed down at this point, raised his glass, and sincerely thanked Shen Mu.

"No need to be polite. I heard about you back in the training camp. Just call me Shen Mu."

"Anyway, with your strength, you are no weaker than a typical first-tier planetary-level being, and since you didn't cause any substantial consequences, the War God Palace will just turn a blind eye."

"Planetary level one?"

Although Luo Feng had some understanding of the realm divisions from the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Relics, he has now begun to act it out as well.

Shen Mu cooperated with Luo Feng's performance and took the opportunity to explain the realm divisions to him.

After some casual conversation, Luo Feng punished himself by drinking three cups of wine, thus completing the accountability process.

"You've just escaped danger from the ancient ruins, so I won't bother you any longer. Go and reunite with your family," Shen Mu said with a smile.

Luo Feng stood up and nodded, sincerely saying, "Thank you, Brother Shen. I'll head back now."

After Luo Feng left, a strange expression appeared on Shen Mu's face. This was the legendary "I'll marry your sister, you call me brother, and we'll each talk to ourselves" kind of relationship.

……

After the brief interlude, Shen Mu continued his journey of understanding the world.

For the past few months, Shen Mu has been living outdoors, getting closer to nature than ever before, and gaining a deeper understanding of the world.

At the same time, Shen Mu's own state of harmony with nature also changed. His body, soul, and energy became more harmonious, and his resonance with heaven and earth became stronger.

Shen Mu had already vaguely sensed the barrier between the unity of heaven and man and the realm of domains.

It was this barrier that trapped Thor for decades, until he finally managed to cross it under the pressure of a crisis and step into the realm of the domain.

While Shen Mu was contemplating the universe and accumulating his own inner strength, the Azure Dragon clone in the Bohai Bay was also undergoing a transformation.

"hold head high!"

A series of dragon roars echoed across the surface of the Bohai Bay.

In the endless sea, the ferocious blue-scaled dragon is undergoing a transformation, growing to over 120 meters in length, eventually reaching a limit of 130 meters.

Within the Azure Dragon's sea of ​​consciousness in the East Sea, the two miniature planets that once existed were exceptionally bright, and a vast spiritual power surged forth from the two stars.

In just a few breaths, the two miniature planets suddenly shrank, and at the same time, a third psychic star was born.

In the past six months, Shen Mu has killed several king-level monsters. Now, after devouring and digesting their corpses, he has successfully broken through to the third level of the planetary level.

At the same time that the Azure Dragon of the East China Sea broke through, in a certain area of ​​the Pacific Ocean.

An oval, black egg, about twelve meters in diameter, rests quietly on the seabed, covered with sea mud and seaweed. It has been here for more than a year since it fell into the Earth's ocean from outer space.

At first, when the sea monsters in the vicinity discovered it, they tried to bite open and swallow the giant egg, but after breaking many of its teeth, no monster did so anymore.

The giant egg suddenly began to shake violently, as if it had been trying to break free from its confinement for several days.

The tremors grew stronger, and the seaweed fell off, revealing strange golden markings on the eggshell.

Snapped!

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the eggshell, and a claw covered in jet-black scales emerged from the crack!

The greatest crisis in Earth's history has begun to brew, but no one is aware of it except for Shen Mu, who roughly knows that this period is the time when the Golden Horned Beast will be born.

But Shen Mu is powerless now. With the strength of the Azure Dragon clone of the East Sea, if he wants to travel the ocean to find the Golden Horned Beast, he will inevitably die at the hands of the two Beast Kings first.

……

The date is January 5, 2059. Luo Feng, who has just returned, has been recognized as having the strength of a councilor and has become the seventh inspector of the Limit Martial Arts Academy. The inauguration ceremony for the inspector is being held.

Shen Mu also received a message from Hong that day, but it was not an invitation for Shen Mu to attend Luo Feng's inspection commissioner ceremony. Rather, it was because something had happened on Kirishima Island.

Just a few days ago, staff members stationed at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy on Kirishima Island discovered strong fluctuations in life energy within the island's core lake using monitoring equipment.

The intense fluctuations in life energy startled all the staff, as the intensity of those fluctuations far surpassed that of all the powerful humans, including Hong and Lei Shen, and was on the same level as the two great beast kings.

On Earth, the highest level of power is not Hong and Lei Shen, but the two Beast Kings.

Otherwise, even if these two beast kings hid in the sea, they would surely die at the hands of Hong, who possessed the domain.
