After devouring Yan Hai, in addition to gaining 2 Devour Points, Su Zhe also obtained the complete Nine-Layered Thunder Blade mastered by Yan Hai. This caused Su Zhe's force exertion amplitude to increase once more, and when combined with his own insights, his force exertion multiplier reached approximately 8 times.

The most important thing, however, was Yan Hai's Conception of Thunder.

The combination of the Blacklight Virus and the Nihility Devouring Flame allowed Su Zhe to directly plunder even something as profound and mysterious as a conception!

It felt somewhat illogical, yet at the same time, quite reasonable.

Possessing the entirety of the target's memories and talents, and incidentally acquiring their insights, was perfectly normal, right?

In any case, looking at the Conception of Fire and Conception of Thunder listed under the Laws section of his panel, Su Zhe felt it was quite satisfactory.

"Devouring humans for growth is indeed faster."

Su Zhe murmured as he felt the surging power within his body.

Although the monsters on Earth were no less intelligent than humans once they reached the Planetary Level, they did not possess any secret techniques; their combat relied entirely on instinct, and there was no such thing as conceptions or domains for them.

Compared to humans, the gains from devouring monsters were more focused on enhancing Su Zhe's physical body, while devouring humans was more focused on improvements in secret techniques and insights.

Su Zhe seemed to have realized something.

"So, that Psychic who was the second greatest genius on Earth in the original story... his name is Sago Nehru?"

Su Zhe found this person within Yan Hai's memories.

Sago Nehru, like Yan Hai, was one of the three giants who appeared after the battle with the Devourer Beast when Luo Feng had disappeared; he was also the only Planetary Level Psychic on Earth after Luo Feng's disappearance.

Although Sago Nehru had likely not yet completed his breakthrough at this moment, he was estimated to be a High-Level War God Psychic.

But after devouring him, Su Zhe's potential for Psychic Power would definitely be enough to reach the Planetary Level.

By then, he would only need to devour a few more monsters, and a breakthrough to the Planetary Level would be a certainty.

Before the World Lord level, Psychics indeed held many advantages over martial artists; the ability to attack from a distance was their greatest edge.

As long as they were not engaged in close quarters by a martial artist, it was difficult for a Psychic to lose.

Even if Su Zhe felt it wasn't essential, well... one could choose not to use it, but one could not afford to be without it.

To avoid any complications that might arise from delay, Su Zhe set off immediately, heading to India to find Sago Nehru and kill him first!

On the floor of the Pacific Ocean.

"How could such an existence still exist on Earth?!"

Babata said in disbelief.

At this moment, less than ten days had passed since Luo Feng had possessed the Golden Horned Beast.

Luo Feng hadn't even fully accepted the inherited memories of the Golden Horned Beast, yet an existence with an evolution speed comparable to the Golden Horned Beast had appeared on Earth?

How could this be possible!

Star-devouring beasts were extremely rare in the universe, let alone special life forms, which were even fewer in number!

But Babata, who monitored the entire globe, had to believe what it was seeing.

A common Earth human had directly improved by a major realm in just a few days?

This was clearly impossible.

Having stayed on Earth for so many years, Babata knew very well how poor the aptitude of Earthlings was.

Furthermore, Su Zhe's devouring process was not concealed at all.

Babata could see clearly that the power Su Zhe possessed was not something a normal human could have; it was definitely a special life form!

And regarding special life forms.

Even though it considered itself knowledgeable and backed by the entire knowledge repository of Black Ink Star, Babata actually only had a superficial understanding of special life forms.

Coupled with the vast variety of special life forms, even major powers like the Virtual Universe Company could not identify every single one.

"It's truly strange. How could the Golden Horned Beast and this... special life form appear on Earth one after another? Black Ink Star has absolutely no records of his genetic structure!"

Babata stared at the image before it, lost in deep confusion.

The scene before it was precisely the moment Su Zhe fought Yan Hai and killed him instantly.

"Whatever, Luo Feng hasn't woken up yet."

In the end, Babata could not come up with a good idea and could only silently list Su Zhe as a key subject of observation.

After all, Su Zhe was an Earthling; it was better to leave the decision to Luo Feng.

In a base city in India.

Su Zhe arrived here and, based on the location in the memories, found Sago Nehru.

As a genius Psychic, although his talent was not as prominent as Luo Feng's, Nehru still received the best training from the Thunder Martial Arts Hall and was currently serving as an Inspector there.

For a Psychic, reaching the High-Level War God rank is enough to be considered an Invincible War God on Earth.

But no matter how invincible they may be, at the end of the day, they are still only at the Apprentice Level.

After locating Nehru, Su Zhe did not spend much effort in killing him.

Upon consuming Nehru, Su Zhe's Psychic Power finally reached the ninth rank of the Apprentice Level. Having inherited Nehru's mastery over Psychic Power, it could now serve as one of Su Zhe's methods of attack.

And with Nehru dealt with.

The next target was already clear.

That target was Atkin.

Once the fifth speaker of Earth, he was now the strongest man on the planet.

As one of the big three who remained after Luo Feng went missing, Atkin did not yet have any designs on controlling Earth, as Luo Feng's fate remained uncertain. However, having already killed two of the big three, there was no need to spare the last one.

Su Zhe thought to himself and prepared to leave.

"Who are..."

A subordinate hurried to the door of Nehru's room, seemingly wanting to report some important intelligence, but he ran straight into Su Zhe and was slapped to death instantly.

Su Zhe did not consider himself a good person; while he wouldn't go out of his way to commit genocide, he wouldn't deliberately let things slide if they were within reach.

Besides.

He truly held no affection for this country.

"I wonder who will step up to replace these powerhouses once they're dead?"

Su Zhe pondered. Although he didn't want to play the pig to eat the tiger, he also had no intention of stepping into the limelight to control any particular faction.

Unless—

"Blacklight Virus!"

Su Zhe's eyes lit up.

As his strength reached the Planetary Level, a miniature planet had appeared within Su Zhe's body, just like other Planetary Level martial artists.

This also significantly increased his control over the Blacklight Virus.

If he were to attempt to create Blacklight Virus infected subjects again, the probability of success would also increase drastically!

"Damn, I shouldn't have killed you so soon."

Looking at the spot where Nehru died, Su Zhe felt a tinge of regret.

As the second-strongest Psychic on Earth, Nehru's talent was certainly impressive, making him the perfect candidate for an experimental subject.

Now it seemed.

The role of the experimental subject would have to fall upon Atkin.

One wondered if Atkin would be able to withstand it?

Su Zhe accelerated, heading toward Atkin's location.
