Inside the wreckage of the Falling Ink Star, the atmosphere was heavy and solemn.

Lin Yuan stared at the pale blue light screen that had suddenly popped up on his retina, his entire person stunned, his pupils slightly constricting.

He hadn't expected a mission to actually trigger!

Moreover, compared to previous tasks like "guide Luo Feng" or "kill a king-level monster," this could truly be considered a "daunting" mission.

Capture the Golden Horned Beast alive?

That was a terrifying existence possessing an internal world; even in its infancy, its strength was enough to crush the vast majority of wargod-level powerhouses on Earth.

Not to mention that "capturing it alive" was ten times more difficult than simply killing it.

However, when Lin Yuan's gaze fell upon the mission rewards, his breathing instantly grew heavy, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably and violently.

The rewards this time were incomparable to anything from the past!

Secret technique: Clone!

Having intimate knowledge of the original plot, he knew exactly what this meant.

In the vast universe, possessing a clone was equivalent to having multiple lives and infinite possibilities! It was a heaven-defying opportunity that would make even a Universe Venerable turn green with envy!

And that was not to mention Reward Two: Essence blood of a Void Behemoth.

"Void Behemoth?"

Lin Yuan quickly searched his memory of the original work, but he could not find any information regarding this name. He tentatively questioned the system, but only received silence in return.

It seems I will only know once the mission is complete...

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

However, since it bore the title of "Starry Sky Behemoth" and was produced by the system, it had to be a massive surprise. Such an opportunity was something he would absolutely not let slip by.

After all, anything produced by the system was a masterpiece!

Just as Lin Yuan's heart was surging with excitement, Babata and Luo Feng noticed his strange behavior.

"Lin Yuan, what's wrong?" Luo Feng asked, looking over with some confusion just after finishing his kowtows.

Babata, the little devil the size of a fist with two sharp horns, also flew over, his ruby-like eyes scrutinizing Lin Yuan with suspicion:

"Hey, Earthling, why is your heartbeat suddenly so fast? Were you scared by my master's legacy? Do you regret not becoming a disciple of the Falling Ink Star?"

Lin Yuan snapped back to reality and quickly restrained the sharp glint in his eyes. He waved his hand casually and said indifferently, "Don't overthink it, I just thought of something."

Afterward, he said no more and stood quietly to the side, waiting for Luo Feng to finish the final steps of the apprenticeship.

Watching Babata transform into a streak of light and attach himself to a black wristband to follow Luo Feng, a trace of emotion suddenly stirred in Lin Yuan's heart.

In these long and tedious years of cultivation, if one could have an intelligent lifeform like Babata—humorous, sharp-tongued, and omniscient—by one's side to conquer the universe together...

That seemed like a pretty good choice, too.

"What a pity~"

Lin Yuan shook his head, no longer dwelling on it.

Regardless, with the system, his future was destined to be infinitely brilliant.

After leaving the wreckage of the Falling Ink Star, Lin Yuan did not linger on Mist Island.

By now, the Muya Crystals on Mist Island had been completely carved up. Although the major factions were still searching for missed treasures with stubborn persistence, for Lin Yuan, his goal had been achieved, so there was naturally no need to stay.

Coming and going from Mist Island was free.

That night, a pitch-black, sleek Qiankun-class Intelligent Fighter soared into the sky under the cover of darkness, disappearing into the vast night.

He needed a period of consolidation.

The harvest from this trip to Mist Island was bountiful—Muya Crystals, Sun God Weapon... I need to digest it all properly! Lin Yuan thought.

Only then would it be time to complete that epic mission!

"Golden Horned Beast, enjoy your final moments of freedom."

Time flowed like sand between one's fingers, second by second.

In the blink of an eye, over half a month had passed.

To ordinary people, everything on Earth was normal; it remained an era where monsters ran rampant and humanity huddled within their base cities.

But in the unknown depths of the ocean, a hunt targeting a top-tier predator was quietly underway.

Above the vast, boundless waters of the Pacific Ocean.

A brilliant golden light instantly tore through the sky, its speed reaching the extreme, as if even space itself were being ripped apart.

Suddenly, that golden light came to a sharp halt a thousand meters above the sea.

The light dissipated, revealing a tall, slender figure.

It was Lin Yuan!

At this moment, he was clad in a suit of strange, dark-gold armor. It was formed from a fully matured Star Vine, shimmering with a faint starlight and possessing astonishing defensive capabilities.

"Cutting off your granaries one by one—have I finally caught you?"

Lin Yuan looked down at the turbulent sea below, the corners of his mouth curling upward to reveal the joy of a hunter finally spotting his prey.

His eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, as if they could pierce through a thousand meters of seawater to discern the behemoth lurking in the deep.

Over the past half-month, since emerging from seclusion, Lin Yuan had not rushed to track down the Golden Horned Beast.

Instead, he had begun a frenzied slaughter of King-level monsters across various sea regions!

This "scorched earth" tactic of Lin Yuan's had directly shrunk the beast's food supply, forcing it to relocate frequently until it finally made a mistake.

Without its "granaries," the Golden Horned Beast, having been born not long ago and yet to fully mature, was insignificant before Lin Yuan, a warrior with five times the life gene level.

"Telekinesis, lock on!"

Lin Yuan focused his mind.

His vast, sea-like spiritual telekinesis instantly transformed into an invisible net, completely sealing off the sea area for a hundred miles in every direction.

Found it!

It was right below, in a trench three thousand meters deep!

Immediately, Lin Yuan grasped at the void, and a long staff composed of 10,081 tiny golden Light Shuttles appeared in his hand.

This was the first form of the Sun God WeaponSpine of Sky Light!

"Open for me!"

The next second, Lin Yuan gripped the staff with both hands, his Origin Power surging violently, and swung it heavily toward the sea surface below!

BOOM!!!

A heaven-shaking roar erupted instantly, as if a nuclear bomb had detonated on the surface of the sea.

A terrifying energy shockwave swept outward, and the previously turbulent sea was forcibly cleaved open, creating a bottomless fissure thousands of meters long!

The seawater surged wildly to both sides, forming two walls of water hundreds of meters high that refused to close for a long time.

And at the very bottom of that fissure, a hideous beast with a pitch-black body, wings on its back, and a single horn atop its head was left completely exposed to the sunlight!

Its body was as massive as a mountain, covered in thick black scales that shimmered with a metallic luster. Those dark-gold pupils were filled with an aura of tyranny and slaughter.

It was the Golden Horned Beast!

"ROAR—!!!"

The sudden turn of events enraged the Golden Horned Beast to the extreme. It let out a deafening roar toward the sky, the sound waves spreading like a physical force, causing the surrounding seawater to boil.

It sensed an unprecedented crisis!

As a peak bloodline among the Starry Sky Behemoths, its intuition told it that the tiny human above possessed a terrifying power capable of threatening its life.

Escape!

Without the slightest hesitation, the Golden Horned Beast flapped its wings, its massive body turning into a streak of black lightning as it attempted to turn and flee into the deeper reaches of the ocean.

"Want to run? Too late!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan had already locked onto it with precision.

Watching the black figure fleeing at high speed, a cold glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes as he gave his wrist a slight flick.

Click, click, click—

The Spine of Sky Light in his hand disassembled and reorganized, instantly transforming into an extravagantly shaped, iridescent golden giant bow!

The second form of the Sun God WeaponSky Patrol Bow!

Lin Yuan held the bow in his left hand and pulled the string with his right.

Hum—

The metal-attribute cosmic energy in the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to be summoned, rushing madly toward the bowstring and instantly condensing into an energy arrow radiating dazzling golden light.

He chanted, his voice as cold as a divine decree:

"First Form of the Sun God Weapon—Fire Fly!"

Twang!

The bowstring vibrated.

The next second, the arrow was released!

It was not merely an arrow, but a river of light formed by countless golden fireflies, carrying world-destroying power as it tore through the void and streaked toward the Golden Horned Beast below!

With thousands of Light Shuttles swirling around it, its power was endless!

This arrow was unavoidable!
