Reborn as a Golden Horned Beast

"You despicable Lin Yu Hou! Even if it costs me my life, I won't let you have your way!"

In the depths of the cosmic starry sky, a black giant beast nearly a thousand kilometers long roared in fury.

Five savage black horns that seemed to pierce the heavens rose from its enormous head, glinting with golden light.

Its entire body was covered in black scales as sharp as blades, while its enormous wings, vast enough to blot out the sky, beat continuously! Every flap tore up fragments of space, propelling it at a terrifying speed.

"Hmph! I never expected the great Jin Yu Hou to be a Golden Horned Beast's clone. As long as I capture you, I'll have enough resources to break through to King level!"

Elsewhere in the cosmic starry sky, a human expert with a crystal feather on his forehead also flapped his wings as he relentlessly pursued the black giant beast.

"Damn it! I only have Early Marquis combat strength, while he's at Peak Marquis. With his divine power burning, his energy intensity is enough to reach King level! I can't withstand it at all! There's no escaping this time!"

The savage giant beast was filled with regret. If not for obtaining that spatial treasure, he would never have exposed the existence of his clone!

But who could have expected his ally to recognize him?

And the Original Nucleus was inside his body. If he were captured, he would inevitably be enslaved or have his body taken over.

"I hate this! I could have broken through to Immortal level long ago! If I hadn't wanted to strengthen my foundation and reach Peak Marquis in one leap, how could it have come to you hunting me down?!" The Golden Horned Beast roared madly within his heart.

But it was already too late. He had no way out now.

"Since you want to capture me, be prepared to be buried with me!" A crazed light flashed in the Golden Horned Beast's bloodthirsty eyes as he took out the spatial treasure he had acquired and detonated it without hesitation.

"I never thought I, Jin Yu, would end up like this! I thought I could live until the end of the universe, but before my path to Immortal level had even begun, I'm about to fall."

The Golden Horned Beast floated miserably in the starry sky, his body covered in horrifying wounds. Crimson blood gushed out like waterfalls.

One of his enormous wings had vanished entirely, while the other had broken in half.

Yet none of that was the most fatal problem. External wounds could be healed with treasures and energy, but Lin Yu Hou's final counterattack and the backlash from the spatial treasure had already damaged his Origin Pearl.

The Golden Horned Beast's Origin Pearl, which was also the Original Nucleus within his body, was now covered in enormous cracks that continued to spread.

"I never thought there would come a day when I'd use the Inherited Secret Technique. My child, I hope you can grow up safely." Jin Yu shook his enormous head with self-mocking bitterness.

Then he activated the Inherited Secret Technique. Golden light shone across his body as his remaining life force continuously gathered toward his abdomen. Yet without the Golden Horned Beast noticing, a faint wisp of peculiar energy flew in from the distant horizon and was absorbed as well.

At last, when the energy reached its limit, it formed an oval giant egg covered in golden secret patterns.

"Go, my child." Endless attachment and regret filled the Golden Horned Beast's eyes. His right claw tore open a spatial rift, and using a Space Secret Technique, he spat the giant egg into it.

After spitting out the Golden Egg, the Golden Horned Beast's life force plummeted. At the final instant before his death, he chose to self-destruct completely, unleashing endless energy.

And in the moment before the explosion, his final energy wrapped around the Golden Egg and sent it flying toward the depths of a remote starry sky.

"My head hurts so much. I'm never staying up late playing games again." Jin Yu had no idea how many times he had made that vow.

But this time was different. He felt that something was off.

"Why is it so dark? Isn't it morning yet?" He looked around at the pitch-black surroundings in confusion and instinctively reached out, feeling around for a light switch.

Clang!

A crisp collision rang out, startling Jin Yu badly. He felt as if he had struck some kind of metal wall.

"What's on my hand? Where did these pointy things come from?" The sensation at his fingertips made him frown inwardly.

All sorts of thoughts sprang up one after another in his mind, making Jin Yu increasingly restless. He felt that he might have encountered some supernatural event, and inexplicable fear and panic rose within him.

"Where exactly am I?"

Time slowly passed, yet Jin Yu still found nothing. He only felt as though he was restrained on all sides, unable to move.

Gradually, restlessness and helplessness turned into anger. Jin Yu suddenly clenched his fist and punched forward.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The unknown "wall" let out a teeth-grating groan beneath Jin Yu's repeated blows.

Cracks spread across the "wall" he had struck, and a faint ray of light shone through them, illuminating the previously dark environment.

"This! This! This!"

Through the faint light, Jin Yu finally saw what the pointed thing he had felt earlier was. It was a savage, razor-sharp dragon claw.

His mind completely shut down. Every one of his senses clearly told him one fact: that claw was his "hand."

He had actually turned into a monster?

Before he could react, a torrent-like Inherited Memory flooded and overwhelmed all his consciousness.

No one knew how long passed before Jin Yu's consciousness gradually returned, and he regained control over his body.

"Golden Horned Beast? Original Universe? Gan Wu Universe Country?"

From the Inherited Memory, Jin Yu finally learned where he had appeared. This was Swallowed Star, within the territory of the Gan Wu Universe Country. And he had been reborn as a Golden Horned Beast with peak bloodline.

Jin Yu briefly summarized and sorted through the Inherited Memory:

Golden Horned Beast cultivation knowledge, eighteen special secret techniques that could be cultivated, and 3,199 ordinary secret techniques. However, all of them were techniques suited to Golden Horned Beasts.

Descriptions of other Starry Sky Beasts, introductions to many human races, Controllers, Illusionists, Beast Tamers, Puppeteers, Hunters, Martial Artists... Among Flesh-type lifeforms, aside from humans and Starry Sky Beasts, there were also the Demon Race, Insect Race, and more. Every race had extensive descriptions.

In addition to Flesh-type races.

There were also Metal-type races, such as the Mechanical Race, as well as Rock-type races, Spirit Races, Plant Races...

At the same time, there were some extremely rare and unusual races that possessed incomparably powerful strength like Starry Sky Beasts, yet were exceedingly scarce...

There were too many memories, too complicated and diverse. It was simply impossible to read through them all, and Jin Yu had no intention of going through all that complicated information now.

He only wanted to get out and take a look.

After learning that he was a Golden Horned Beast, the anxiety in his heart gradually faded away. He was no longer worried about having become a monster.

After all, Golden Horned Beasts possessed a clone talent. Becoming human would be easy.

Moreover, even if a Golden Horned Beast simply grew naturally, it would still reach Peak World Lord level! With a tenfold genetic level, as long as he did not court death, he would have a minimum lifespan of ten thousand eras!

How long was that? More than a hundred million years!

If he worked hard and cultivated properly to become Immortal level, then his life would be endless.

"Logically speaking, the original story never mentioned a second Golden Horned Beast appearing in the Silver Blue Empire, right? So I should be on Earth now?"

After absorbing the memories and locating the approximate information regarding his birthplace, Jin Yu concluded that this place was within the territory of the Silver Blue Empire.

He guessed that this was most likely the hometown of Luo Feng, the Son of the Plane. But other possibilities could not be ruled out, such as another spacetime or even another point in time.

"But with my current strength, if I'm on Earth, Hong and Thor would probably kill me instantly. If I'm on some other extremely powerful planet, that would be even more dangerous. I should obediently eat the eggshell first."

He was still far too weak. Keeping a low profile and developing steadily was the proper path.

According to the Inherited Memory, as long as he ate the eggshell and then consumed a large amount of metal, he could reach Stellar level within just one year.

Jin Yu had just been born and was only Planetary level 1. Even with tenfold genes, his strength would only rise to around Ordinary Planetary level 5. He might be able to struggle a little against Thor, but against someone like Hong, he would basically be able to type gg.

As for Stellar-level experts on other planets? Well, there was simply no way to avoid the possibility of being enslaved or even having his body taken over.

"Let's get out first."

The horns on his head forcefully broke through the eggshell, and Jin Yu crawled out, his whole body covered in mucus.

Crunch! Crunch!

He opened his savage maw and began devouring the eggshell in huge bites.

After spending roughly forty-five minutes, he finally swallowed the eggshell clean.

His body, originally only around twelve meters long, had grown to sixteen meters after consuming the eggshell. The mucus on his body had also been absorbed, revealing black scales that were as chillingly sharp as blades.

This is a new book, so if you have votes, please send some my way. Give the monthly votes to the big shots, and the recommendation votes to me. Haha, and leave plenty of comments so we can exchange ideas.
