Speed Stuns Everyone, Hello Golden Horned Beast

Within the crowd, Luo Feng hurriedly called out in his consciousness.

"Babata, do you think Councilor Li can deal with this Golden Horned Beast? Back at Mist Island, didn't you say he possessed Star Level 3 strength?"

"What are you thinking? Even though that fraud has reached Star Level, this is a Star Level Golden Horned Beast! It possesses the most peak bloodline in the universe, even stronger than the most powerful human bloodlines!"

"Although this Golden Horned Beast has only just stepped into the Star Level, its bloodline is simply too formidable. With that fraud's strength, there is absolutely no hope."

Babata's words struck Luo Feng's soul like a heavy hammer, leaving him completely dazed.

"No!"

Luo Feng felt his soul tremble and sting.

If all of humanity on Earth were to perish, what meaning would there be in his own survival?

"It must be killed!"

Luo Feng stared at the frozen image of the Golden Horned Beast on the conference hall screen.

While Luo Feng consulted with Babata in his heart, others were also discussing and debating.

Throughout the entire conference hall.

Whether they were the powerhouse councilors of humanity, heads of various nations, or weapons experts specifically invited for this crisis, everyone was racking their brains for a solution.

They were all part of Earth, and not a single one was willing to give up.

Every person in the conference hall felt anxious.

"Brother Hong, he doesn't have any confidence either?"

Thor and Hong sat in a corner, with no one else daring to approach.

"None."

Hong shook his head slightly, but his eyes were firm as he whispered, "However, even without confidence, I must step up when the final moment arrives. With my current Planetary Level 7 strength combined with my domain, I am already invincible among Planetary Levels. Coupled with the Cloud-Touching Vine that grew rapidly from consuming Wood Bud Crystals, even a life-or-death battle against a Star Level 1 opponent is not without hope!"

"The biggest problem is that we don't know the true strength of this Devourer Beast."

Hong's voice was low.

"Mm."

Thor nodded slightly.

However, Hong and Thor were clearly unaware that a Star Level 1 human martial artist and a Star Level 1 monster were not the same thing.

Not to mention that this was a terrifying Starry Sky Behemoth, and specifically a Golden Horned Beast—the most peak bloodline among all Starry Sky Behemoths, known as the pinnacle of the vast universe.

This was also the primary reason Babata had concluded that Earth was finished.

"Everyone!"

"This is a video of the Devourer Beast that America just transmitted to us!"

Instantly, everyone fell silent.

A brand-new video began to play on the screen, showing a vast Wilderness Zone where a war base stood across a wide river.

Yet, from within this war base, a constant stream of troops was fleeing, with tens of thousands of soldiers scrambling to escape.

However, the Starry Sky Behemoth was too fast; the army had not yet fully retreated.

On the screen, a streak of golden light came to a halt—it was the Golden Horned Beast, with its four hooves and a pair of scaled wings.

The conference hall fell into a dead silence.

The Golden Horned Beast moved like lightning, swooping down to graze the war base.

The scales on its wings sliced through the war base like blades, and the entire structure proved as fragile as tofu, collapsing and falling apart instantly.

The base was reduced to ruins.

The Golden Horned Beast's cold, dark-gold eyes watched the disc-shaped fighter jets fleeing in all directions, but to it, the speed of the jets was laughable.

It merely flicked its front hooves!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Five golden rays moved with astonishing speed, striking five distant disc-shaped fighter jets, which exploded into fireballs with a loud bang!

The five fireballs were exceptionally conspicuous under the dim sky.

The video ended.

"Everyone, we have discovered two points from this footage."

"First, it did not devour the war base this time, but destroyed it. Second, it possesses long-range attack capabilities."

"Bastards!"

A wave of curses erupted in the conference hall.

They had originally intended to use ultra-high-yield hydrogen bombs to detonate on the surface of the Starry Sky Behemoth's body or inside its mouth, but they had not expected it to have long-range attack methods.

Watching the Golden Horned Beast on the screen as it frolicked, Li Qingxu's eyes flickered.

It would be better for him to act sooner; if they actually managed to kill it, that would be quite troublesome.

After all, Hong's Light Domain had already reached the fourth level; if the Golden Horned Beast were truly blasted to critical health by that B6-Grade Laser Cannon, it might actually be finished off by Hong's desperate final strike.

As Li Qingxu walked toward the exit of the conference hall, he instantly drew the gaze of everyone present.

They did not understand why one of the strongest martial artists on Earth was leaving without saying a word—could he be planning to run away?!

"Are you leaving?"

Hong hurriedly stood up and shouted.

"Otherwise? How am I supposed to stop it standing here, by watching?"

Li Qingxu turned his head, casting a glance at Hong with a strange smile on his face.

"Can you do it?"

Hong's voice was low.

He had never seen Li Qingxu's true strength, but that creature was, after all, a Starry Sky Behemoth from the cosmos; he felt a sense of unease in his heart.

Hong's question was the same one held by everyone in the room. They looked at the white-clad Li Qingxu with varying expressions, seemingly desperate to hear the word 'yes.'

"Hmm."

Li Qingxu pondered for a moment. "Fifty-fifty."

After all, since he couldn't kill it, he would have to suppress his own strength.

"Only a fifty percent chance of victory."

Hong seemed to realize something and spoke quickly, "I will go with you."

"I'm going too!"

Thor shouted instantly as well.

"You two can't even beat me, what are you going for?"

Li Qingxu looked at the two men, who wore expressions of grim determination as if heading to their deaths.

He remembered that in the original story, after the Golden Horned Beast was blasted to critical health by the laser cannon, Hong and Thor burned their souls and still couldn't finish it off.

Right now, this Golden Horned Beast was at full health; the two of them going there would just be throwing their lives away.

Besides, he didn't actually intend to kill this Golden Horned Beast.

"Help me lock onto its current position and keep me updated on its movements."

"I'm off."

As his voice fell, Li Qingxu's figure vanished from the conference hall.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"Mobilize all satellites!"

Urgent shouts rang out one after another.

Instantly, various nations and major powers scrambled to mobilize their satellites to locate and lock onto the Starry Sky Behemoth.

On the massive screen in the conference room, the footage was displayed in real-time.

Above the Pacific Ocean, a massive monster with skin as black as ink and golden secret patterns winding around its sharp horns soared through the sky. Its wings, covered in black scales, moved like a shadow as they beat.

At the same time, an electronic voice echoed in the conference room, "Devourer Beast flight speed: 15,219 meters per second."

"Do you think Councilor Li can handle this Starry Sky Behemoth?"

"Hard to say, but he wouldn't go rashly if he wasn't confident, right?"

Inside the hall, many people whispered to one another.

"It's just that we are too weak."

Hong and Thor exchanged a look, both seeing the helplessness in the other's eyes.

As the world's first and second strongest fighters, they were now facing a great enemy, only to be dismissed by someone else as too weak.

In the top-floor suite of the Limit Dojo headquarters, Li Qingxu felt like laughing.

Being stared at by all those gazes, it was as if he were truly heading to his death.

Beep. A communication request came through on his watch.

Li Qingxu accepted the call, and Hong's voice instantly came through, "The Devourer Beast is currently over the Pacific Ocean, approximately 10,000 kilometers away from you in a straight line."

"Understood."

With that, Li Qingxu took a single step and instantly appeared in the sky outside.

"Look, Councilor Li actually has a smile on his face; he must be extremely confident."

"That's right."

Watching Li Qingxu, who looked like an immortal descended to the mortal world in his white robes, many in the conference hall chatted with smiles on their faces.

"Is it possible that's the calm smile of someone who has accepted their death?"

Suddenly, someone whispered.

The conference hall fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

"Wait!"

"Look at Councilor Li's speed, it's so fast!"

On the screen, Li Qingxu, who had originally been standing outside the Limit Dojo headquarters, took a single step, and his body suddenly vanished.

As he reappeared, he took another step, and his figure vanished once more.

The scenery beneath his feet seemed to be retreating automatically.

"Councilor Li's speed is 131,313 meters per second."

An electronic voice rang out in the hall.

Everyone was stunned instantly.

What a terrifying speed this was; even that Devourer Beast only reached a little over ten thousand meters per second.

Yet Councilor Li was actually ten times faster than it!

"My god! Councilor Li is actually this strong!"

"We've won! Hahaha!"

In an instant, the people in the hall erupted into jubilant laughter.

If his speed was ten times greater, then Councilor Li's true strength must surely be ten times greater as well!

Even if it wasn't, he was certainly stronger than that Starry Sky Behemoth.

Meanwhile, within Luo Feng's consciousness space, Babata was truly dumbfounded, muttering to itself, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"What's wrong, Babata? Isn't this a good thing? Why do you look like you've lost your soul?"

Luo Feng asked Babata internally with a smile.

"Luo Feng, you don't understand. Do you know that with his Star Level 3 strength, it is impossible to have such speed, unless..."

"Unless what?"

Hearing Babata put it that way, Luo Feng became curious as well.

"Unless he has touched the threshold of the Law of Time!"

"That is the Law of Time!"

"Heavens, what exactly have I missed out on!"

Babata was filled with endless regret at this moment; if it had known, it would have thrown all the Wood Bud Crystals and all its treasures at that swindler back then.

Even if it couldn't coax him into becoming a successor of Black Ink Star, becoming a registered disciple would have been fine too.

A Star Level powerhouse who had touched the threshold of the Law of Time—it had traveled the universe with its master for tens of millions of years and had never heard of such a thing.

And yet, on a remote, primitive-looking planet, one had actually appeared!

"Touched the threshold of the Law of Time?"

Babata's loss of composure left Luo Feng stunned for a moment, and then he said in a reminiscent tone, "I think I was also able to perceive the domain of the Law of Time, but I couldn't grasp it for the longest time, so later I spent all my time improving my strength instead..."

"What did you say!"

Babata was stunned. One was enough, but how could another one appear claiming they could perceive the Law of Time?

Could it be that perceiving the Law of Time was simple on Earth?

Immediately, Luo Feng recounted how Li Qingxu had passed a secret technique to him earlier.

"You idiot! Luo Feng, you really are an idiot!"

"Damn it, you didn't spend time comprehending that kind of supreme secret technique, you!"

Babata roared, its eyes filled with the look of someone disappointed in the lack of ambition of Black Ink Star's sole successor.

Over the Pacific Ocean, the pitch-black giant beast, over 180 meters long, flapped its scaled wings and flew rapidly through the high altitude.

Its dark golden eyes were filled with coldness, brutality, and killing intent.

The Golden Horned Beast was one of the most terrifying types of Starry Sky Behemoth; its bloodline was inherently filled with ferocity and brutality!

"Hello there, Golden Horned Beast."

A voice rang out in the sky.

Li Qingxu, dressed in white, looked elegant and ethereal as he stood with his hands behind his back in the void.

His black hair danced lightly in the sea breeze, and his clear eyes were as limpid as a mountain spring.

It was late at night, and a crescent moon hung in the sky.

It reflected him as if he were an immortal descended to the world, his white robes untainted by the dust of the earth.
