The atmosphere was heavy and solemn inside the wreckage of the Falling Ink Star.
Lin Yuan stared at the pale blue screen that had suddenly appeared before his eyes and froze, his pupils contracting slightly.
He hadn't expected a mission to trigger after all!
And compared to the previous missions—"give Luo Feng pointers" and "kill a King-level monster"—this was undoubtedly a truly "arduous" task.
Capture the Golden Horned Beast alive?
It was a terrifying creature with an Internal World. Even in its infancy, it was powerful enough to crush the vast majority of Councilor-level fighters on Earth.
And capturing it alive would be at least ten times harder than killing it outright.
But when Lin Yuan's gaze fell on the mission rewards, his breathing instantly grew heavier, and his heart began pounding uncontrollably.
These rewards were on a completely different level from anything he'd received before!
The secret technique, Clone!
Having read the original story, he knew all too well what that meant.
In the vast universe, having a clone meant having multiple lives and unlimited possibilities! It was an incredible opportunity that even Universe Venerables would envy!
And that was nothing compared to the second reward: the essence blood of a Void Behemoth.
"Void Behemoth?"
Lin Yuan quickly searched his memories of the original story, but couldn't find any mention of the name. He tentatively asked the system, only to be met with silence.
"Looks like I'll find out after I complete the mission..."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
But since it bore the name of a Starry Sky Behemoth and came from the system, it was bound to be a huge surprise. He wouldn't let such an opportunity slip away.
After all, anything from the system was bound to be top quality!
As Lin Yuan's excitement surged, Babata and Luo Feng noticed that something was off.
"Lin Yuan, what's wrong?" Luo Feng asked, glancing over in confusion after finishing his kowtows.
The little devil Babata, no bigger than a fist and sporting two horns, flew over as well. Its ruby-red eyes scrutinized Lin Yuan suspiciously.
"Hey, Earthling, why did your heart suddenly start beating so fast? Did my master's legacy scare you? Are you regretting not becoming a disciple of the Falling Ink Star?"
Lin Yuan came back to himself and quickly reined in the gleam in his eyes. He waved a hand casually and said, "Don't make things up. I just thought of something."
He said no more and stood quietly to the side, waiting for Luo Feng to complete the final steps of the apprenticeship ceremony.
Watching Babata turn into a streak of light and attach itself to a black wristband before leaving with Luo Feng, Lin Yuan couldn't help feeling a little wistful.
During the long, monotonous years of cultivation, having an all-knowing Intelligent Life like Babata by his side—one who was witty and sharp-tongued, and could fight alongside him across the universe...
That might not be a bad choice.
"Too bad..."
Lin Yuan shook his head, letting the thought go.
With the system, his future was bound to be infinitely exciting anyway.
After leaving the wreckage of the Falling Ink Star, Lin Yuan didn't linger on Mist Island.
By then, the Muya Crystals on the island had been divided up. Although the major factions were still searching stubbornly for any treasures they might have missed, Lin Yuan had already achieved his goal. There was no reason for him to stay.
Whether to stay on or leave Mist Island was up to him.
That night, a sleek, pitch-black Qiankun-class Intelligent Fighter shot into the sky under cover of darkness and vanished into the vast night.
He needed some time to consolidate his gains.
"This trip to Mist Island was incredibly fruitful. Muya Crystals, the Sun God Weapon... I need to take the time to digest it all!" Lin Yuan thought.
Only then would it be time to complete that epic mission!
"Golden Horned Beast, enjoy your last moments of freedom."
Time slipped by like sand through one's fingers.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.
To ordinary people, everything on Earth seemed normal. It was still an era when monsters roamed freely and humanity huddled inside Base Cities.
But in the unknown depths of the ocean, a hunt for an apex predator was quietly underway.
High above the boundless waters of the Pacific Ocean,
a brilliant golden light tore across the sky, moving at astonishing speed, as if it were ripping through space itself.
Suddenly, the golden light came to a dead stop a thousand meters above the sea.
The light faded, revealing a tall, slender figure.
It was Lin Yuan!
He now wore a strange suit of dark golden armor, transformed from the fully grown Star Vine. A faint starlight shimmered across it, and its defenses were astonishing.
"I cut off your food supply bit by bit. And now—finally, I've caught you."
Lin Yuan looked down at the surging waters below, the corners of his mouth lifting with the delight of a hunter who had finally found his prey.
An uncanny gleam shone in his eyes, as if he could see through a thousand meters of seawater and spot the enormous beast lurking on the ocean floor.
During the past half month, after emerging from seclusion, Lin Yuan hadn't rushed to search for the Golden Horned Beast.
Instead, he'd gone on a killing spree, slaughtering King-level monsters across the world's oceans!
With this scorched-earth strategy, Lin Yuan had directly shrunk its feeding grounds, forcing it to move frequently until it finally exposed its whereabouts.
Without its "food supply," the newly born Golden Horned Beast, which hadn't yet had time to grow, was no threat at all to Lin Yuan, a warrior with five times the life gene.
"Spiritual Force, pinpoint its location!"
Lin Yuan focused his mind.
His boundless Spiritual Force instantly spread into an invisible net, sealing off the waters within a hundred miles.
Found it!
In the trench three thousand meters directly below!
Lin Yuan then reached into the air, and a long staff appeared in his hand, made up of 10,081 tiny golden Light Shuttles.
This was the first form of the Sun God Weapon—the Spine of Sky Light!
"Open up!"
The next moment, Lin Yuan gripped the staff with both hands. Origin Force surged through him as he swung it hard at the sea below.
BOOM!!!
A thunderous explosion tore through the air, as if a nuclear bomb had detonated on the sea's surface.
A terrifying shock wave swept outward. The churning sea was cleaved apart by the blow, opening a massive rift thousands of meters long and plunging beyond sight!
Seawater surged back violently on either side, forming two walls hundreds of meters high that remained for a long time.
At the very bottom of the rift, a menacing beast lay starkly exposed beneath the sunlight. It was pitch-black, with a pair of wings on its back and a single horn atop its head!
It was as huge as a mountain, its body covered in thick black scales, each gleaming like metal. Its dark golden eyes brimmed with savagery and bloodlust.
It was the Golden Horned Beast!
"ROAR—!!!"
The sudden turn of events enraged the Golden Horned Beast. It threw back its head and let out a deafening roar. The sound waves spread like tangible force, making the surrounding seawater boil.
It sensed a threat unlike any it had ever faced!
As a peak-bloodline Starry Sky Behemoth, its instincts told it that the tiny human above possessed the power to threaten its life.
Run!
Without a moment's hesitation, the Golden Horned Beast beat its wings. Its huge body became a black bolt of lightning as it turned and tried to flee into the deeper ocean.
"Trying to run? Too late!"
But Lin Yuan had already locked onto it.
Watching the black figure flee at high speed, Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with cold intent as he gave his wrist a slight flick.
"Clack, clack, clack—"
The Spine of Sky Light in his hand disassembled and reformed, instantly turning into an enormous, dazzling golden bow.
The Sun God Weapon's second form—the Sky Patrol Bow!
Lin Yuan held the bow in his left hand and drew the string with his right.
Vmmm—
The surrounding golden cosmic energy seemed to answer its call, rushing toward the bowstring and swiftly condensing into an arrow that blazed with golden light.
He murmured an incantation, his voice cold as a divine decree:
"First form of the Sun God Weapon—Firefly!"
Twäng!
The bowstring vibrated.
The next instant, the arrow shot forth!
It was more than a single arrow. It was like a river of light formed by countless golden fireflies, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth as it tore through the void and raced toward the Golden Horned Beast below!
Countless Light Shuttles swirled around it, their power without limit!
There was no evading this arrow!
