Golden Horned Beast Emerges

Above the Pacific Ocean, Xiao Yu dragged the Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor's corpse toward a nearby island and placed it on an island dozens of kilometers across. The island instantly seemed to have gained a massive mountain.

"Xiao Yu, I've already sent Hong the island's coordinates," the Babata clone said.

"Good. Have the Qiankun head straight home. We'll leave for the Atlantic Ocean immediately," Xiao Yu said.

Xiao Yu flew up to an altitude of twenty thousand meters and sped toward the Atlantic Ocean like a humanoid bolt of lightning.

In less than three minutes, Xiao Yu arrived above the Atlantic Ocean, directly over the Thunder Dragon Emperor's coordinates.

Below, a blood-red triangular fighter hovered in midair, while a black-haired man beside it watched the sea beneath them cautiously.

Suddenly, the black-haired man looked up at the sky. Their gazes met, and they both smiled.

"Xiao Yu, Star level speed really is enviable!" Hong said with a smile. From Xiao Yu's earlier battle footage, he had naturally guessed that Xiao Yu had already broken through to the Star level.

"Hong, leave that thousand-meter-long Thunder Dragon Emperor below to me!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

The moment he finished speaking, Xiao Yu vanished, leaving behind only a passage straight to the seafloor, with arcs of lightning continuously flashing within it.

Xiao Yu looked at the Beast Emperor on the seafloor, which resembled a divine dragon. Its body was like a gigantic dragon from mythological legends, winding for over a thousand meters. Its entire body was covered in extremely hard dragon scales, and those scales were blanketed in surging lightning.

This Thunder Dragon Emperor's strength exceeded the Planetary sixth stage. Underwater, it could kill Planetary sixth-stage experts. Even Hong, who possessed a domain, would be seriously injured if he faced it underwater.

Unfortunately, the one facing it today was Xiao Yu, a Star-level expert with a Gene Multiplier of fifteen and an amplitude of ten.

The instant the Thunder Dragon Emperor saw Xiao Yu, it fled at top speed. Perhaps it understood that it was no match for him, as it did not even have the slightest intention of fighting.

"Xiao Yu, this Thunder Dragon Emperor is quite intelligent. It's smarter than ordinary humans. The moment it saw you, it knew to run," Babata said.

Eight King-level Monsters charged at Xiao Yu from the surrounding waters, attempting to hinder him.

Xiao Yu's body moved like lightning, darting among the King-level Monsters.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Eight enormous explosions rang out, and eight shockwaves churned this stretch of sea as though it were boiling.

The eight King-level Monsters sank to the seafloor.

Xiao Yu continued chasing the Thunder Dragon Emperor. Countless Lord level and King-level Monsters blocked his path along the way, but none of them could stop him.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yu was standing atop the Thunder Dragon Emperor's head, ignoring the flickering lightning.

The Lightning Blade of Void in his hand flashed coldly, splitting the Thunder Dragon Emperor's head down the middle. Red fluid dyed the surrounding waters crimson.

Xiao Yu grabbed the Thunder Dragon Beast Emperor by the tail and dragged its corpse out of the sea.

"Haha, Xiao Yu, impressive!" Hong laughed loudly before saying, "Recently, Luo Feng has been using Wood Essence Crystals to exchange for a lot of items from me. It seems he made quite a haul this time. I heard you two went out together. Do you have anything you need to exchange for?"

It seemed Hong was quite tempted by the Wood Essence Crystals.

"Isadonna from the HR Alliance also went looking for Luo Feng. The leaders of the Five Great Nations have all expressed their willingness to purchase Wood Essence Crystals at high prices," Babata said with a smile.

Xiao Yu smiled, thought for a moment, and said, "If possible, exchange ten Spirits of Plants and Trees for me."

These Spirits of Plants and Trees were for the Xiao Family.

His eldest uncle, Xiao Guohua, could use them to advance further. After Xiao Guoxuan, his third uncle, used one, his hidden injury would recover, and his strength would also improve.

His eldest sister, Xiao Ling, could use them as well.

With these Spirits of Plants and Trees, the Xiao Family's strength would rise to another level.

"Fine. If that's all you need, then the Stars you possess are enough," Hong said calmly.

"Alright, Hong. I'll be leaving, then!" Xiao Yu dragged the thousand-meter-long corpse toward the nearest island.

Hong also entered the fighter, and the blood-red triangular fighter followed Xiao Yu.

A short while later, he spotted a deserted island of nearly fifty square kilometers, where several Lord level monsters lived.

He no longer concealed his Star-level aura. The air trembled, and dozens of Lord level monsters fled back into the ocean.

He placed the Thunder Dragon Beast Emperor's corpse on the island.

"Hong, I've sent you the coordinates where the Thunder Dragon Beast Emperor's corpse is stored. Send someone to handle the rest. I won't concern myself with it," Xiao Yu said.

A Beast Emperor's corpse was unquestionably immensely valuable to humanity.

The Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor corpse from Mist Island was still being studied, and now there were two more specimens.

Hong did not shortchange Xiao Yu either. He offered thirty Stars for each Beast Emperor corpse, equivalent to one and a half Wood Essence Crystals.

When Xiao Yu returned home to Jiangnan Base City, he arrived just in time for lunch.

During lunch, Xiao Yu's parents ate while happily watching television.

The news was reporting on Xiao Yu consecutively killing three Beast Emperors.

The footage showed reporters interviewing Xiao Yu's kindergarten teacher, his neighbor Zhang San, and even Xiao Dingguo.

Xiao Yu's father, Xiao Dingguo, said proudly, "My son is the world's First Strongest. Son, I'm proud of you!"

After Xiao Yu killed two Sea Beast Emperors, humanity and the monsters unexpectedly fell into a strange peace. Neither side launched any intense action.

The human side was understandable. They had previously obtained a large number of Wood Essence Crystals, and even if they wanted to act, they had to wait until those gains had been converted into combat strength.

Yangzhou City, Limit Martial Hall, inside a Training Room.

"Babata, keep a close watch on any changes among the Sea Monsters," Xiao Yu instructed.

"Alright, Xiao Yu. What are you doing again? I don't want to be locked in the little black room!" Babata protested.

"System, set the First Wish as increasing my amplitude to thirty."

Setup successful!

First Wish: Increase amplitude to 30 (24,570 Wish Silver Coins).

"System, check my remaining Wish Points."

Remaining: 5,287 Wish Silver Coins, 8,595 Wish Copper Coins.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yu took out two hundred cubic meters of Universe Crystals from his Space Ring.

"System, absorb two hundred cubic meters of Universe Crystals."

Absorbed 200 cubic meters of Universe Origin Energy. Obtained 2 Wish Gold Coins.

"System, fulfill the First Wish."

24,570 Wish Silver Coins deducted.

Wish is being fulfilled...

A colorless energy descended from the Void, enveloping the entire Training Room.

Xiao Yu unconsciously fell asleep. He suddenly rose and continuously practiced various moves—blade techniques, movement techniques, and Punching techniques—at astonishing speed.

It was as though time had accelerated.

Inside the virtual space, the Babata clone kept smashing the bottles on the table and muttered angrily to himself, "You told me to monitor the outside world, then blocked me out!"

At 20:36 on the night of December 25, 2058, Earth, deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, several hundred kilometers from the Hawaiian Islands.

In this area of the seafloor, an oval black giant egg around twelve meters in diameter had remained there for over a year, covered in rotten mud and weeds.

Many monsters in the surrounding waters had discovered this giant egg, but not a single monster could bite through its shell. Not even King-level Monsters could do so.

Suddenly, the mysterious black giant egg trembled slightly. Its shell slowly cracked open, and a pitch-black, mucus-covered "unknown object" emerged from within.

The unknown object began crunching away at the eggshell. With every piece of shell it ate, the unknown creature grew a little larger.

By the time it had completely devoured the eggshell, its body had reached sixteen meters in length.

Only then did its appearance fully reveal itself. It was entirely black and covered in black scales, with powerful limbs, a pair of scaled wings, and a tail like that of a dragon.

The mucus covering its body was fully absorbed, making its form clearer. The secret patterns covering its body gleamed with golden light.

This was the Golden Horned Beast, newly born and possessing a tenfold Gene Multiplier.

The Golden Horned Beast's appearance drew the covetous attention of the creatures dominating this region of the seafloor.

Huaxia Country, military, real-time Sea Monster monitoring hall.

A red alarm blared without pause.

"Alert! Alert!"

"Near the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean, the King-level Monster Dragon Turtle hidden on the seafloor is suspected to have engaged in battle with an unknown monster," a subordinate reported to a middle-aged officer.

Monitoring the movements of every King-level Monster on land and at sea was something humanity had to do for its own safety.

"The battle has ended. The Dragon Turtle's life signs have vanished."

"The creature that eliminated the King-level Monster Dragon Turtle is suspected to be a newly emerged Beast Emperor-level Monster."

"Contact Chairman Xiao Yu of the Limit Martial Arts School immediately."

Hongning Base City, Limit Martial Arts School headquarters, inside the giant ship-like building, in a quiet room.

Hong sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

After cultivating with Wood Essence Crystals, his strength had already broken through to the Planetary seventh stage.

"Master, the militaries of the Five Great Nations have discovered a suspected Beast Emperor-level Monster near the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean."

"Has Xiao Yu been notified?" Hong asked calmly.

"Master, Chairman Xiao Yu's Communication Watch cannot be reached for the moment."

"He's probably cultivating again. He really is working hard! Monitor the suspected Beast Emperor's movements. The instant anything unusual is discovered, notify me immediately." After speaking, Hong closed his eyes again.

January 3, 2059.

The Training Room where Xiao Yu was located finally returned to calm.

When Xiao Yu opened his eyes, the system's voice sounded in his mind.

Wish fulfilled.

"Babata, check my strength," Xiao Yu said to the Auxiliary Optical Computer.

"Xiao Yu, you damned freak! You blocked me out again! And for twenty days straight! I'm furious!" Babata said angrily.

Xiao Yu had just thought of something. Even if Babata had not seen him use the system, it was still difficult to explain why his strength surged dramatically every so often. If this continued, Babata would definitely notice something.

Rather than that, he might as well modify the Babata clone so that it only obeyed him and could not report everything to the main body.

"System, modify the Babata clone and set me as the highest authority holder."

Setup successful!

First Wish: Modify the Babata clone and set the host as the highest authority holder (100 Wish Silver Coins).

100 Wish Silver Coins deducted!

Wish fulfilled.

A stream of purple data appeared out of thin air and flowed into the Auxiliary Optical Computer in the wristguard on his left hand.

"Xiao Yu... Master." Babata's voice abruptly stopped.

--

Inside the virtual space, Babata's main body muttered angrily to himself, "I have no idea what Xiao Yu did. I can't get over there anymore."
