Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 72 Golden Horned Beast, You're Too Dangerous!

Inside the Palace of the God of War.

Luo Feng revealed all the information he had obtained from Babata.

The entire room fell silent. The usually aloof war gods, councilors, and politicians seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, shifting restlessly in their seats.

That's a star level! Is humanity on Earth really facing extinction?

Ignoring everyone's reactions, Luo Feng got up and walked to Hong's side, asking for the list of ancient civilization relics, preparing to take a gamble and fight for a future for humanity on Earth.

Hong sent him the list, but then pressed down on Luo Feng's shoulder, as if he had something else to say, and turned to look at the parliamentary seats of Hanxia Kingdom.

Although Luo Feng was very anxious, he patiently stood still and waited.

Hong asked in a deep voice, "Jiang family, Jiang Lie, aren't you going to make a move?"

The atmosphere in the conference room became tense.

But many members of parliament and war gods had a sudden realization, recalling the young member of parliament who had disappeared for more than ten years.

Judging from Hong's words, the Jiang family is confident in resolving this calamity. Could it be that the person has already broken through to the Hengxing level?

They found a tall man who might be able to hold up the collapsing sky, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the old man of the Jiang family with hopeful eyes.

Luo Feng only then noticed the special features of the Jiang family's seats and was shocked when he saw the "combat power display".

"One, two, three... seven?"

"The Jiang family actually has seven planetary-level experts? Babata, did the Jiang family gain a lot in the last operation to seize the Muya Crystal?"

Before he could even ask, Luo Feng shook his head. "No, I saw that Jiang family junior, who's the size of a bear, before I first went to Wudao. He was already a planetary-level being back then."

"The Jiang family...heh, the Jiang family!"

Babata repeated it in a low voice, a depressed, cold laugh expressing his dissatisfaction.

As an intelligent life form of Huyanbo, even though Jiang Zhe and Oriana easily manipulated her, she still looked down on them.

Just like it looks down on all Earthlings, including Luo Feng, in an equal manner.

Choosing Luo Feng as his successor? That's just picking the best of a bad bunch.

"Luo Feng, you should know that I mentioned the Meteorite Star inheritance was robbed once, without telling you who did it. But considering your previous experiences, can't you deduce that the Meteorite Star inheritance is in the hands of the Jiang family?"

The Martial Arts Hall? The Jiang Family? The Meteorite Star?

Luo Feng nodded, "That's true, I had already guessed that."

On the other side, Old Jiang Lie smiled bitterly and told Hong the truth.

"First Speaker, my grandson's cultivation has encountered some problems. All the slaves in the house have been transferred by his intelligent life form to serve as guards. I cannot command his intelligent life form. Currently, my family cannot send out a single star-level mental master."

Immediately, the conference hall erupted in uproar.

What did they hear?

A powerful star-level being like the Devouring Beast is only fit to be a slave to the Jiang family?

And it seems there's more than one?!

To prove his point, the old man had the Enlightened Beast appear beside him and project a photograph onto the screen.

—In a snow-covered land, a metal doll guards the entrance to a cave, and inside the cave behind it, a disheveled young man can be seen fast asleep.

The old man sighed, "He's been sleeping since September 1957, and it seems like he'll never wake up."

"This person, this person..."

Luo Feng was greatly surprised. Judging from the bone structure, he recognized that this was the boy he had identified as a virtual character.

Babata said quietly, "It's him, Earth's number one psychic, a terrifying guy with a natural brain capacity of 40!"

"Damn it! If he hadn't refused to inherit the soul imprint..."

Luo Feng suddenly realized, "So he was the one who mentored me, and he also gave up this great opportunity for you, Babata?"

Luo Feng, with his impeccable moral compass, felt gratitude and curiosity towards Jiang Zhe, but also some worry.

"Babata, is Mr. Jiang alright? Also, why do I rarely hear anyone mention him?"

"I don't know, it would be better if he were dead."

But sensing Luo Feng's anger, Babata quickly changed his tune.

"Luo Feng, I really can't figure out what's going on with him... His AI is stronger than mine, and if the other side can't do anything about it, I definitely can't either."

"As for why you haven't heard of him? You have, this kid's name is Jiang Zhe."

"Huh? He's the creator of those three power-generating manuals! 'Jiang Zhe' is so young, is he my contemporary?"

"Yes, all the video materials about him online have been destroyed or locked by intelligent lifeforms. Then, for over a decade, they deliberately kept a low profile, and the Jiang family also acted discreetly. Only most of the people present remember him; haven't you noticed that not many people talk about him?"

Suddenly, the Enlightened Beast spoke. "Master, there's a video call from Ms. Orianna."

"Vote it out, show it to everyone!"

The old man cut off his own escape route.

If you don't want the Jiang family's reputation to be ruined, and if you don't want to be punished by your master after he wakes up, you must send out a slave guard to save the Earth from crisis.

The video call window was projected onto the large screen in the center of the conference hall by the Enlightened Beast.

But what appeared on the screen was not a brass doll, but the figure of a young man dressed in dark brass armor.

His eyes, as bright as stars, carried no imposing aura, yet they captivated everyone's attention, as if a clear stream had flowed through their hearts, washing away all their anxiety.

"Grandpa... and everyone else, are you all here? I already know."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

"Keep the video on. Now that I'm out of seclusion, this farce will end soon."

As he spoke, the camera pulled back.

The camera captured a full-body image of Kang Chul and the surrounding scenery.

Only then did the people in the conference hall realize that Jiang Zhe was standing on a silver shuttle-shaped object, suspended above the highest peak on Earth.

After exchanging greetings, the helmet and visor were put on to cover the head.

On his left forearm was a dark purple metal gauntlet, with clearly visible angry ape patterns, exquisitely crafted like a work of art.

With a thought, the Shadow Shuttle sped out.

The camera followed closely behind Kang Chul, capturing his image.

"Quickly, call in the satellites to calculate Mr. Jiang Zhe's speed and estimate how long it will take him to reach the battlefield."

The researchers in white lab coats immediately sprang into action, and about half a minute later, an elderly man with a white beard gave a trembling report to his supervisor.

"Report! Mr. Jiang Zhe's speed is approximately 80 kilometers per second, more than five times that of the Golden Horned Beast!"

"Five times? Hahaha..."

"Great! Earth is saved! Mr. Jiang Zhe's strength must far surpass that of the Golden Horned Beast. Let's see how arrogant this beast can be now."

"80 km/s? That means Mr. Jiang Zhe will arrive on the battlefield in 3 minutes. North America is saved!"

……

Once Jiang Zhe's strength was confirmed, the gloom that had been building up in the conference hall vanished completely, and the faces of the Earth's high-ranking officials were practically beaming with joy.

The Jiang family was even happier because their family's pillar was finally out of "danger".

As for the threat of the Golden Horned Beast?

If Orianna hadn't transferred the two slave guards away, the moment the Golden Horned Beast showed its face, it would have been doomed!

Luo Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, but the shock he felt lingered for a long time.

He is currently a fourth-tier planetary-level mentalist, and even when flying at full speed using the Sky Shuttle, his speed is only 6.5 kilometers per second.

"Babata? His strength?"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Ninth-tier, Constant Star level?!"

Babata's voice was hoarse. "How is this possible?"

"This speed far surpasses that of a ninth-tier Constant Star!"

"He reached the ninth level of the Constant Star realm in ten years? Is he really from Earth? Why is his growth rate faster than that of the top-ranking races among humans?"

The 1.5-meter-tall little devil transformed into a hundred thousand "whys," his face filled with extreme sorrow, feeling as if he had lost millions of Chaos Units.

"Boss, he was supposed to be your best successor!"

Why?

"Why is he unwilling to accept the guidance of Lord Demon Babata?!"

Luo Feng listened to Babata's regrets without feeling uncomfortable; he just smiled helplessly and touched his nose.

Then all attention was focused on the live stream on the screen, eager to see the strength of this top-tier psychic master.

……

"We're almost there... but the Golden Horned Beast seems to have sensed Mr. Jiang Zhe's imposing aura and is fleeing in the opposite direction!"

One of the researchers responsible for controlling the satellites to capture battlefield scenes exclaimed in surprise.

"Golden patterns have appeared on the Golden Horned Beast's body? Its speed has suddenly increased; it must have used some kind of amplification technique."

"Mr. Jiang Chul's speed has also increased dramatically, reaching 100 kilometers per second!"

"My God! Is this really a flight speed that humans can achieve?"

"According to calculations, Mr. Jiang Zhe will catch up with the Golden Horned Beast in 30 seconds, and he will definitely bring this tragedy to an end!"

"25 seconds, 24 seconds... 18 seconds! Ladies and gentlemen, the Golden Horned Beast has turned around!"

……

Over the Atlantic Ocean.

The golden-horned behemoth, nearly two hundred meters long, with wings on its back and a lion-like body, knew it couldn't escape.

A ninth-tier Celestial Realm expert? But he was just a weak human.

If you can't escape, then kill him!

While the [Enhancement] effect is still active, let's turn back and take him down!

Golden runes shone on the golden-horned beast's body. With a flap of its wings, it unleashed its ultimate speed as it charged toward Jiang Zhe, raising its claws to tear him to shreds.

"Golden Horned Beast, you're too dangerous!"

Jiang Zheyi shouted righteously.

With a wave of his left hand, 72 fine needles flew out from Hui Suo's hand.

Nine strands are connected in groups, forming a dense network of dark purple threads that transform into a three-foot-long bolt of divine lightning.

Eight beams of lightning, each three feet long, shot out, unleashing incredible speed!

The camera couldn't capture it at all, and the golden-horned behemoth couldn't react in time.

Almost everyone in the Ares Palace thought the video was buffering, causing them to miss a segment.

In the blink of an eye, the golden-horned behemoth's wings and four hooves were pierced through, leaving gaping holes in the front and back. Its head was also targeted by two beams of lightning, which exploded like a watermelon.

Instant kill?

Is this what you meant by "too dangerous"?

But immediately, everyone in the conference hall, regardless of their status, cheered and jumped for joy without regard for their image.

died!

This calamity is over!

Only Jiang Zhe knew that for a life form with a protocore, such an injury was far from fatal.

A vast and boundless spiritual force poured forth.

They crawled inside the Golden Horned Beast's body and found the primordial core hidden in its heart.

Even though it would be suppressed by the Golden Horned Beast's sea of ​​consciousness, it still ventured into it without fear of danger.

A juvenile cosmic behemoth?

Even members of the Norlan Mountain family know that an illusionist can easily subdue it.

Moreover, Jiang Zhe's consciousness and willpower far surpass those of the Golden Horned Beast, and he also possesses the illusion manual left behind by the immortal being Hu Yanbo.

With a will as strong as that of a world lord, he commanded his mental power and easily crushed the Golden Horned Beast's resistance, then subdued it using the methods of an illusionist.

Jiang Zhe caught up with the falling "headless beast corpse" on the Shadow Shuttle, and Orianna put it into the World Bracelet.

Inside the bracelet, mechanical puppets brought B-grade metal to help the subdued Golden Horned Beast recover from its injuries.

Jiang Zhe then turned to the camera and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, this tragedy is over."

"It's just a pity about our compatriots in North America who sacrificed their lives..."

These two chapters were revised directly on the rough draft without being copied again.

Therefore, the typing efficiency is very high.

I went out to get a haircut this morning, and I started writing this at 3:30. I need to exclude the time spent cooking and eating.

I wrote 6000 words.

I couldn't rewrite the rough draft; every line felt awkward, but I forced myself to endure the discomfort and overcame it.

If I persevere for a while longer, I think I can probably correct my mistakes.

I owe you all five updates, I'll make it up as soon as possible.
