Bai Yue slowly flew out of the intelligent fighter jet, controlling it to fly into the distance to avoid being injured by the aftershocks.
Gazing at the black dot gradually approaching the horizon, Bai Yue, clad in a white robe, stood ready. Even though he knew the Kinkaku was only at the third stage of the Stellar level while he himself was at the peak of the ninth stage, he still had to be cautious to avoid an upset.
When they were only two to three kilometers apart, the Devouring Beast swung its right claw, shooting a golden beam towards Bai Yue.
His eyes narrowed, and the Nine Heavens Earth Law Domain instantly unfolded. The profound yellow domain rapidly expanded, covering the Kinkaku. Under the domain's suppression, the golden beam, as if stuck in a quagmire, gradually slowed down. Its energy was gradually depleted, and the entire beam shrank until it dissipated before reaching him.
Watching the attack scatter into specks of starlight, the ferocity and coldness in the Kinkaku's eyes seemed to diminish slightly, replaced by a hint of confusion.
The viewers watching this scene on screen were all stunned. Even Luo Feng, who had some idea of Bai Yue's strength, hadn't expected him to handle it so effortlessly.
Inside the conference hall, the panic among everyone finally eased somewhat.
"So strong, has he already surpassed them by so much!" was Hong's reaction.
"I knew this kid could do it!" Thunder God exclaimed loudly with a laugh.
"Nine Heavens Domain, this is huge! Huge! Hahaha..." Babata leaped and jumped within his virtual space as if he had gone mad, overjoyed at his decision to take Bai Yue into Meteor Star back then.
As a former World Lord and with his master having the strength of a Marquis, Huyan Bo's discernment was naturally excellent. Just by looking at the aura emanating from the domain, he could judge its level. This meant that as long as there were sufficient resources and he didn't fall, becoming a peak Domain Lord was a certainty. Babata was even affirmative about whether Bai Yue had comprehended the laws, as he had created quite a few miracles.
After neutralizing the Kinkaku's long-range attack, Bai Yue no longer held back. He activated the Illusion Chapter Secret Technique from the Meteor Star inheritance, his Mental Power stealthily invading the Kinkaku's body and continuously affecting its senses.
His Mental Power continued to invade, attempting to deepen its influence over the Kinkaku. Unlike ordinary creatures, the Kinkaku's consciousness resided within its Nucleus. Invading its brain was not enough to control its thoughts; the Nucleus's defenses needed to be breached.
From the outside, after blocking the beam attack, Bai Yue didn't immediately attack. He remained floating in the same spot.
Conversely, the Kinkaku, possibly sensing the invasion of Mental Power, went berserk. It attacked the spot where it perceived "Bai Yue" to be. However, because its senses were already affected, it didn't hit Bai Yue's actual location, instead striking an empty area far away.
Gradually, the Kinkaku's movements became smaller, its flight speed and altitude decreased, and its eyelids grew heavier, as if an ordinary person who had drunk too much, finding it difficult even to open their eyes.
BOOM!
The Kinkaku crashed into a mountain peak, piercing it halfway through. The peak then collapsed, sending rubble and vegetation flying everywhere, leaving a mess.
The Kinkaku, emerging from behind the mountain, reacted violently after the collision, seemingly about to wake up. However, its mind was still chaotic, and its head felt heavy and unsteady. Bai Yue, following closely behind, continued his illusionary attacks. The consciousness that had just begun to stir became muddled and confused again.
Finally, after a period of intense mental assault, the Kinkaku's consciousness completely surrendered, falling into a deep slumber. Its body lost power and plummeted towards the ground.
RUMBLE!
The Kinkaku's body crashed into the soil and rocks, sliding over a thousand meters before coming to a halt.
This impact naturally couldn't cause it any harm. Bai Yue flew down from the air and landed on the Kinkaku's back.
For Earth, the Kinkaku was a huge source of disaster. But if it could be completely controlled, it would be a great treasure. Not to mention its inherited information, its body alone held immense value, especially since it was still alive, merely hypnotized by illusions.
A peak bloodline Kinkaku capable of Body Snatching, possessing the talent for clones, its value was immeasurable and could drive many Immortals mad. Even if he couldn't use it himself, every Immortal had a powerful family behind them, and there were always outstanding juniors who needed nurturing!
The onlookers observing the situation from various locations were astonished by this anticlimactic battle. They had expected an intense fight, but to their surprise, it concluded in just a few minutes.
"Did we win?" In the War God Palace's top conference room, a government official with special permission to attend asked.
After a brief silence, a council member said, "It was an illusionist! Councilor Bai Yue used illusionary attacks to hypnotize the Devouring Beast! We have won!"
Immediately, cheers erupted in the conference hall. With the crisis averted, everyone's spirits were high, until Hong, seated at the head, spoke.
"Although Bai Yue has dealt with the Devouring Beast, the beast tide initiated by the two controlled Beast Emperors has not stopped. So now, it's our turn!"
In fact, although everyone was gathered in this conference hall of the War God Palace, many had already departed to intercept the monsters when the Devouring Beast commanded the sea monsters to attack. Some had even already engaged them!
Now that the main crisis had been resolved, it was time for humanity to counterattack.
After the development of Fog Island, humanity's strong individuals had rapidly increased. The number of council members surpassing the War God level reached over a hundred. The original council-level powerhouses had generally improved by one or two ranks due to the Wood-Essence Crystals, their strength greatly enhanced. Of course, Bai Yue's contribution was indispensable, as he had exchanged a considerable amount of items with various factions using Wood-Essence Crystals.
Therefore, even now, despite the number of King Level Monsters being ten times that of humans, humanity, relying on the deployed laser cannons, was not without the power to fight back.
"Lei Shen and I will take care of the two Emperor-level monsters. Since they've landed, they won't be going back!" Hong's words carried an indescribable dominance.
"After fighting for so many years, I've long wanted to slaughter these two beasts. Perfect timing to test out the domain I just comprehended! Haha." With no worries left, Thunder God appeared quite pleased.
"Everyone else, please hold off the remaining King Level Monsters and ensure the safety of the major Base Cities. We will return immediately after we kill the two Emperor-level monsters to help you reclaim human territory."
"Yes, First Speaker!" everyone in the conference hall replied in unison. Since the Great Nirvana Era, humanity had lost its dominant position on Earth. Today, they finally saw the dawn of victory, and everyone present was exceptionally excited.
In the following days, fierce battles unfolded across the globe. The beast tide, triggered by the Devouring Beast, continued to expand, with over seventy percent of the world's monsters either swept up or voluntarily joining the tide.
Initially, it wasn't on such a large scale. The Devouring Beast had only controlled two Beast Emperors and a portion of King Level Monsters to launch the beast tide. But it had evolved to a point where no one could control it anymore; this was the culmination of decades of hatred and grudges between humans and monsters.
Especially after Hong killed the Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor over the Pacific Ocean, and Thunder God, after hours of battle, sliced the Thunder Dragon Emperor into pieces, while Luo Feng consecutively slew 37 King Level Monsters, all the King Level Monsters went mad. They sensed an unprecedented crisis.
But these were merely the struggles of cornered beasts. Without Bai Yue's continued intervention, the balance of high-end combat power between humans and monsters had already shifted. From the moment Hong, Thunder God, and Luo Feng were freed up, the tide of war began to tilt in humanity's favor.
The 22nd chapter updated yesterday is still under review due to sensitive words. I don't know if it will pass. Please collect and recommend the next two chapters published today.
