"Babata, check my strength," Xiao Yu continued.
"Master, you are currently a Gene Warrior at Star level first stage, with an amplitude of 30," the Babata clone said as usual.
"Babata, call me by my name from now on. Also, forbid your main body from teleporting over, and don't tell anyone about changes in my strength," Xiao Yu ordered.
The intelligent clone in his hands now completely belonged to him. When he got the chance later, he could just upgrade it.
"Understood, Xiao Yu," the Babata clone replied.
With a tremor of Origin Force, Xiao Yu's body became spotlessly clean again. The stench from seeming as though he had not bathed in years vanished completely.
"Xiao Yu, you have had dozens of missed calls during this time. Nearly ten were from your parents, two from Xiao Ling, three from Luo Feng, four from Councilor Jia Yi, one from Thor, and finally, five from Hong."
Xiao Yu flew straight out through the Training Room window toward his villa.
Mingyue Residential Area, Xiao family villa, living room.
Like an obedient child, Xiao Yu accepted the loving reprimands from his parents and older sister, Xiao Ling.
He had vanished for twenty consecutive days. His phone could not be reached, and he was nowhere to be found. If Limit Martial Hall Director Wu Tong had not said that Xiao Yu was still cultivating in the Training Room, they would have gone mad with worry.
Finally, Mother Xiao, Xu Jingyi, calmly said, "You can't blame us for nagging you. You're not getting any younger, and you're still alone. Tell me, if we don't care about you, who else will?"
"Mom, I know I was wrong!" Xiao Yu obediently admitted, yet said nothing at all about finding a girlfriend.
"Oh, right, Xiao Yu. Your mother's nagging nearly made me forget. More than ten days ago, the Limit Martial Arts School delivered two metal cases here and left them at home. They said you had instructed them to do so. What's inside? We couldn't open them without your fingerprints." Father Xiao, Xiao Dingguo, carried a case in each hand back into the living room as he spoke.
Back when Xiao Yu had discussed this matter with Hong above the Atlantic Ocean, he had said to give them directly to his family.
Xiao Yu took the two metal cases and ran his fingers across their clasps. The cases opened.
Inside each metal case were five carefully packaged pale-green objects. Some resembled plant roots and stems, while others looked like crystals.
"These are Spirit of Plants and Trees that I bought. I specifically bought them to improve the physical fitness of all of you, as well as the members of our Xiao Family," Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"Wow! So this is Spirit of Plants and Trees? I heard Second Uncle mention them before! There are no side effects after using them, and they even feel very comfortable!" Xiao Ling said excitedly.
When she had heard Xiao Dingguo mention them before, she had been immensely envious.
After calming his parents and family, Xiao Yu left the Spirit of Plants and Trees for his parents to distribute, then returned to his bedroom and replied one by one to Jia Yi, Thor, Hong, and the others.
What they had said was roughly the same. A new Beast Emperor-level Monster had seemingly appeared in the ocean, and several King-level Monsters had already disappeared.
Xiao Yu understood that the Golden Horned Beast must have emerged.
When he called Luo Feng, he learned that Luo Feng had been busy cultivating recently, and all those calls had been made by Babata.
"Xiao Yu, what did you do to my clone? Why can't I contact it..." Babata kept questioning him.
Xiao Yu ignored Babata's repeated questions, directly ended the call, and went downstairs to head out.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going out for two days. There's an urgent mission I need to handle," Xiao Yu said.
Before he left, Mother Xu Jingyi reminded him, "Be careful!"
Above the ocean several hundred miles from Bermuda in the Western Pacific, a blue-violet figure hovered in the air.
"Xiao Yu, the Tiger Shark King that disappeared most recently three days ago was here. From the reports over the past twenty days, that Beast Emperor is extremely cunning. Of the three King-level Monsters that vanished, two were in the Pacific Ocean and one was in the Atlantic Ocean, all far apart from one another," the Babata clone continuously reported.
"This should be a Golden Horned Beast. It has the ability to devour metal. It might even hide away and consume the metal deposits on the ocean floor," Xiao Yu said worriedly.
"A Golden Horned Beast? A Golden Horned Beast actually appeared on Earth? We've struck it rich!" the Babata clone said excitedly.
Suddenly, the Babata clone said joyfully, "The East Sea Azure Dragon, which frequently operated in the southeastern waters, has just disappeared."
"Alright, let's head over immediately," Xiao Yu said.
Before he had even finished speaking, Xiao Yu transformed into a bolt of lightning and flew toward the East Sea.
On an island in the Pacific Ocean, dark clouds filled the skies and lightning flashed amid thunder. A torrential downpour was about to begin when a tremendous boom suddenly rang out, and the thunderclouds were scattered by a massive shockwave.
In less than a minute, Xiao Yu stood at the coordinates where the East Sea Azure Dragon had vanished. This stretch of sea had practically been dyed red.
"System, lock onto the Golden Horned Beast."
Setup successful! First Wish: Lock onto the Golden Horned Beast's location (1 Wish Copper Coins/minute). Wish Points are being continuously deducted! The wish is being fulfilled.
Suddenly, a bright point appeared in his mind. It was five hundred kilometers west of him and was rapidly moving farther west.
Xiao Yu turned into a bolt of lightning and flew westward just above the sea surface.
Countless Sea Monsters poked their heads above the water along the way, curiously observing what had flown past earlier. Yet all they could see was the shockwave, leaving behind an endless path across the sea.
In less than the time of a breath, Xiao Yu caught up to the Golden Horned Beast.
Xiao Yu plunged into the sea. As though sensing that someone was pursuing it, the Golden Horned Beast instantly accelerated, shot out of the water, and flew into the atmosphere. A blue-violet shadow followed after it.
After its birth, the Golden Horned Beast had received the secret techniques inherited by its race. Though it had been born for less than a month, its strength had already reached Planetary level eighth stage.
This Golden Horned Beast possessed a terrifying secret technique, "Absolute Space." Cultivating it could increase one's acceleration. The secret technique had three layers: the First Layer, Arc Light; the Second Layer, Myriad Changes; and the Third Layer, Teleportation.
Fortunately, it had been born too recently. Even if it specialized in Absolute Space, it absolutely could not achieve Teleportation.
After the Golden Horned Beast rushed into the sky, it reached its maximum speed in an extremely short time. Its speed was nearly comparable to that of an ordinary Star level first stage Warrior—300,000 meters per second.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yu was the one chasing it. If it had been Hong, even Planetary level ninth stage Hong would not have been able to catch up.
The Lightning Blade of Void in Xiao Yu's hand continuously gathered lightning Origin Force. After catching up to the Golden Horned Beast, a flash of lightning streaked past, and the enormous lightning blade pierced through the Golden Horned Beast's body.
He had used almost all his strength in that strike. The Golden Horned Beast was cleaved in two, and the severed gap was covered in scorched marks.
The Golden Horned Beast's body fell diagonally downward.
Xiao Yu knew that the Golden Horned Beast's Sea of Consciousness and soul were not in its head, and that they could move. It could not be treated like an ordinary monster.
"System, lock onto the Golden Horned Beast's Sea of Consciousness."
Setup successful! Second Wish: Lock onto the Golden Horned Beast's Sea of Consciousness (1,000 Wish Copper Coins/minute). Wish Points are being continuously deducted! The wish is being fulfilled.
Suddenly, Xiao Yu discovered that he could see through the Golden Horned Beast's body as though he possessed X-ray vision and locate the core of its Sea of Consciousness.
The Lightning Blade of Void in Xiao Yu's hand continued gathering Origin Force, while he mixed his mental power into it.
Origin Force attacks infused with mental power could harm the soul.
A pillar of light shot into the sky through the location of the Golden Horned Beast's Sea of Consciousness. A hole three meters wide appeared in its chest.
He could still see the Golden Horned Beast's Sea of Consciousness in his mind, but it had become extremely weak.
"Xiao Yu, the Golden Horned Beast's life signs have disappeared," the Babata clone said.
"System, examine the Golden Horned Beast's soul strength."
Setup successful! Third Wish: Examine the Golden Horned Beast's soul strength (100 Wish Copper Coins). 100 Wish Copper Coins have been deducted! Golden Horned Beast soul strength: 0.1%.
"System, end the First and Second Wishes."
The wishes have been fulfilled. A total of 1,005 Wish Copper Coins have been deducted.
Two purple-black vines extended from his body and wrapped around the Golden Horned Beast's corpse.
Limit Martial Arts School, Global Monitoring Center.
"Speaker Xiao has killed another Beast Emperor-level Monster!" the young Warrior said proudly.
"This Beast Emperor seems much stronger than the previous two," another Warrior beside him said.
"Why is he flying toward the island?" the young Warrior asked in confusion.
East Sea region, on a desolate uninhabited island, Xiao Yu connected to Luo Feng's video call.
"Babata, come take a look. What is this?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.
"Wow, it's actually a Golden Horned Beast corpse! How could a Golden Horned Beast be on Earth? Golden Horned Beasts are rare even in the universe," Babata's figure appeared in the video as it kept talking.
Luo Feng asked, "Babata, what is a Golden Horned Beast?"
"Golden Horned Beasts are the peak race among Starry Sky Beasts! The Starry Sky Beast Alliance is one of the Nine Superpowers of the universe," Babata explained.
"Babata, this Golden Horned Beast isn't completely dead yet. A trace of its soul still remains," Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"Really?" Babata said in delight. "Luo Feng, hurry, let's go over there. Your opportunity has arrived."
"What opportunity?" Luo Feng asked, confused.
"The Golden Horned Beast is a peak race. It possesses the strength of a World Lord upon adulthood, far beyond what Earth Humans can compare to. As long as you possess it, you'll have hope of avenging Master!" Babata said.
"But if I possess the Golden Horned Beast, doesn't that mean I'll lose my identity as a human? Perhaps I could use a Soul Seal to enslave it instead," Luo Feng said hesitantly.
He did not want to give up his identity as a human. He could not bear to leave his parents, much less Xu Xin. Their relationship had already reached the point of discussing marriage.
"Luo Feng, in this universe, strength is the most important thing..." Babata kept trying to persuade him.
"Luo Feng, this Golden Horned Beast has an internal world and can nurture clones. At Planetary level, it can nurture one clone. You can possess the Golden Horned Beast first, then nurture a human clone afterward," Xiao Yu said.
Xiao Yu did not wish to abandon his own body to possess the Golden Horned Beast, nor did he wish to use the system to transform the Golden Horned Beast into his own clone. To him, a Golden Horned Beast was inferior to those special races.
"Alright, then. I'll explain things to my family first," Luo Feng said.
"Fine, but Babata, I need coordinates to enter the universe," Xiao Yu said, asking for the coordinates he had always wanted.
His Auxiliary Optical Computer did not contain any universal coordinates.
"Alright, but Xiao Yu, do you have a spaceship? I've been gathering materials to repair the spaceship recently, but it will still take five or six years to finish," Babata asked doubtfully.
"I have two," Xiao Yu said.
"Really? You have spaceships, so why didn't you say so earlier? Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to work day and night!" Babata complained.
