Solving the Golden Horned Behemoth

"Enough, enough! It is truly the world's good fortune to have a powerhouse like Mr. Tang step forward in this moment of crisis." The man who had just questioned Tang Ping was now terrified out of his wits, scrambling to flatter him in hopes of making amends.

"Hmph! Let's leave it at that. Send me the current location of the Devouring Beast; we are going to finish it off now." Tang Ping was not the type to bully others, so he let out a cold snort and let the man off the hook.

Soon, the official from the nation that had discovered and been tracking the Devouring Beast sent over the coordinates. Tang Ping and his companions did not delay; they withdrew their consciousness from the War God Palace and prepared to depart immediately.

The speed of a King-level Intelligent Fighter Jet was clearly far inferior to that of a Star Level powerhouse in flight, so Tang Ping and the others abandoned the jet and flew off together.

Before long, the group arrived in the vicinity of the coordinates they had received.

"Rumble..."

It must be said that Star Level powerhouses travel fast. The Devouring Beast had clearly not left yet; the series of booming sounds indicated that it was still there, wreaking havoc.

"Time to get to work, brothers. First, destroy all surveillance facilities in the vicinity," Tang Ping commanded.

"Understood!" "Received!"

The brothers each unleashed their domains, fanning out to circle the area where the Golden Horned Behemoth was located. Every nearby surveillance device was promptly destroyed.

As for the satellites in the sky, they wisely shifted away upon detecting the group's actions, and those that couldn't move were simply blasted out of the sky by Tang Ping and his team.

"Roar..."

The surrounded Golden Horned Behemoth clearly sensed that these few individuals flying toward it were not to be trifled with. With a furious roar, it chose the direction it perceived to be the weakest and charged.

"Damn it, you beast, what makes you think I'm the weakest?" Wang Zhizhong, already imagining how he would be mocked for being singled out as the softest target, gripped his Force Battle Blade and delivered a fierce, heavy strike.

"Boom!"

Yet, it was Wang Zhizhong who was swatted away by a single claw.

"What the hell? Wasn't this monster supposed to be only Star Level one?" Wang Zhizhong climbed to his feet, saying in disbelief.

"Haha... Star Level one is correct. Old Wang, you've actually become so weak that you can't even beat a Star Level one monster? How embarrassing," Li Zhongyun laughed, mocking him.

"Screw you, I was just careless! Again!" Wang Zhizhong cursed, charging at the Golden Horned Behemoth once more with his blade.

It had to be said that when Wang Zhizhong got serious—having received several years of orthodox training from the Yunmo Planet lineage—fighting a Golden Horned Behemoth cub that had only been born for a year was not much of a problem.

After a series of earth-shattering booms, the Golden Horned Behemoth collapsed to the ground, gasping its last breaths. Wang Zhizhong stood nearby, panting, his Force Battle Armor damaged and blood faintly visible at the corner of his mouth, proving that this battle had not been as simple as it looked.

"Job done, let's go, brothers. Let's get this Golden Horned Behemoth moved. But Luo Feng, you need to make a decision soon. Keeping this thing half-dead isn't easy; it would be a waste if it kicked the bucket by accident," Tang Ping said to Luo Feng after descending from the air.

"Moving it to our secret base?" asked Jiang Yang, who had also landed to help transport the beast.

"Of course. Where we live can't hold it, and it isn't secret or safe enough."

For the past three years, the brothers had maintained a low profile and rarely acted on Earth. However, martial arts cultivation required more than just closed-door meditation, so after breaking through to the Star Level, they had built a secret base on Mars—the very spot where Luo Feng discovered the factory in the original story.

Usually, when they sparred or tested new techniques, they did so at this secret base on Mars.

If Luo Feng ultimately chose to possess the Golden Horned Behemoth, this secret base was clearly the best choice.

"Speaking of which, Babata, that spaceship of ours should be almost repaired, right? You spend every day slacking off, seriously delaying our progress toward entering the universe to cultivate." Mentioning the secret base reminded Tang Ping of the ship they kept there.

That ship was the Black Dragon Mountain X81 Spaceship that Luo Feng had used to enter the universe for the first time in the original story. It had been damaged due to the excessive force used to acquire it, and Babata was currently in the middle of repairs.

"It's almost done, almost done! You keep nagging me every single day; do you have any idea how hard it is to fix a spaceship?" Babata's head ached at the mention of it. Ever since they got the slightly damaged vessel, Tang Ping had been urging him to fix it—literally nagging him eight times a day.

While it might be difficult for a Star Level martial artist to wander the vast cosmos, traveling between planets within a single star system was quite simple.

The brothers didn't take long to transport the half-dead Golden Horned Behemoth to the secret base on Mars.

They left two people behind to guard the beast and prevent it from escaping or committing suicide, while the others returned to Earth. Naturally, Babata stayed behind as well, claiming he needed to speed up the ship's repairs, though everyone knew his real motive was to watch over the Golden Horned Behemoth. No one bothered to call his bluff.

When it came down to it, the person he valued most was undoubtedly Luo Feng, the direct disciple of the master of Yunmo Planet; the others were just along for the ride. And in Babata's eyes, the Golden Horned Behemoth was currently Luo Feng's most important opportunity.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Luo Feng's brothers, but rather that he was too anxious to be rational; he simply couldn't rest easy unless he was there watching over him.

Upon returning home, the group first logged into the War God Palace to notify the others that the Devouring Beast had been dealt with, then went about their own business.

Although many people wanted to climb the social ladder after seeing their display of power, they were worried about offending them. Once the group let it be known that they didn't want to be bothered by trivial matters, no one foolish enough to disturb them came forward.

The brothers were quite relaxed after returning, with only Luo Feng caught in a state of inner conflict.

It didn't last too long, however. On the third day, Luo Feng made up his mind: he would possess the Golden Horned Behemoth.

Ultimately, Luo Feng was a protagonist with a strong heart for power. Yet, there had always been a figure far stronger than him forging ahead, and Luo Feng often felt the distance between them growing wider. To avoid being left too far behind—or rather, to have a chance to catch up—Luo Feng decided to seize this opportunity.

It was a pity, however, that Luo Feng would never know one thing: no matter what great opportunity he encountered, he might make a huge profit, but Tang Ping would never lose.

Having made his decision, Luo Feng did not immediately set off for Mars. Instead, he informed his family and friends that he would be in closed-door cultivation for a long time and that they should look for Tang Ping if anything came up.

Yes, although they had previously discussed everyone guarding Luo Feng together, they later decided that someone needed to stay behind at home. In the end, the choice fell to Tang Ping.

Tang Ping didn't mind; he could lie flat anywhere, and home was clearly much more comfortable.
