Memorial for Luo Feng

After two full days of slaughter, the number of King Level monsters that had died at the hands of Li Qingxu neared a thousand, while the number of low-tier monsters that perished from the collateral energy waves reached into the hundreds of millions.

The King Level monsters within the territory of the Huaxia Nation had been almost entirely wiped out by him, and even the number of High-tier Lord Level monsters had been reduced by nearly half.

Consequently, the councilors of the Huaxia Nation were requested by the other four major nations to assist them in defending against the King Level monsters surging up from the oceans.

On the Sunday night five days later, the oceanic monsters that had been frantically attacking human base cities across the globe retreated in haste.

In this campaign, nearly two thousand King Level monsters were slain, and the two overlords of the ocean—the Emperor Level monsters—were also put to death.

Yet, in the depths of the ocean, countless monsters were still being born every second, slaughtering and devouring one another.

It was estimated that in a short while, new King Level monsters would emerge once again.

When the sun rose once more on a new day.

Earth had returned to peace.

In every base city across the globe, statues were erected for the thirteen councilor-level powerhouses who had died in the battles against the King Level monsters.

They were human heroes who, under the gaze of the entire world, had fought the King Level monsters until their final breath.

Naturally, the people in the major base cities went spontaneously to pay their respects, expressing their gratitude and reverence.

In Times Square of Yangzhou City, Jiangnan Base City, the area was filled with wreaths.

A statue of a remarkably young man stood in the center of the square.

Almost everyone living in Yangzhou City knew who this statue represented.

It was the Inspector of the Limit Dojo from Jiangnan Base City, Luo Feng.

However, they were somewhat puzzled, as they had not seen Luo Feng's figure on the screen during the previous global broadcast.

At this moment, a massive crowd of people, all dressed in uniform black attire, arrived before the statue in the center of the square to pay their respects.

These people were none other than the human powerhouses they had seen in the broadcast days prior; aside from those who had perished, everyone else had actually arrived.

With a look of apparent helplessness in his eyes, Li Qingxu walked up to Luo Feng's statue and bowed.

He knew that Luo Feng was not dead, but Hong and the others did not.

They would not allow a hero who had shielded humanity from an existential catastrophe to pass away in such obscurity.

They were going to clear Luo Feng's name!

After all, the ordinary people on Earth did not know the specific details regarding how Luo Feng had perished together with the Devourer Beast.

Only a small number of War God Level powerhouses, councilor-level powerhouses, and the leaders of the major nations were aware.

At this moment, every councilor-level powerhouse on Earth, as well as the leaders of the major nations, were all in attendance.

Furthermore, a global broadcast had been initiated from this location.

They intended to tell every human on Earth that it was Luo Feng who had used his own life to help humanity escape total annihilation.

As the top-tier individuals of Earth recounted the events of the Devourer Beast incident, the world finally understood what had transpired a week ago.

And so, from this day forward, people from all over the world came to Times Square in Yangzhou City every day to pay their respects and thank Luo Feng.

Though they could not truly fathom the scale of it, they understood that it was Luo Feng who had saved them.

After paying his respects to Luo Feng, Li Qingxu returned to the penthouse suite at the headquarters of the Limit Dojo to continue his secluded cultivation.

He was simply waiting for Luo Feng's return, at which point he would enter the universe.

At this moment, he had vaguely touched upon a barrier of the laws; it was only by entering the Four Extremities Secret Realm that he could break through this obstruction.

He just wondered if the Origin Laws would acknowledge him and descend, and whether the so-called Four Extremities Heavenly Tribulation would even appear.

Most crucially, the consciousness of the Primordial Universe...

Pacific Ocean.

Within the Origin Heaven Divine Technique Array, the massive, ink-black Golden Horned Beast lay prone, devoid of any aura.

Inside the body of the Golden Horned Beast.

The crystal sphere covered in a multitude of golden secret patterns was emitting a very faint golden light; it appeared the same as before, but in reality, some changes had already occurred.

"So, taking over a body is this difficult. Babata, if we continue step by step like this, how long will it take to completely occupy this Golden Horned Beast body?"

Luo Feng's consciousness asked.

"Don't be impatient. You have an opportunity that only comes once in a billion years; be patient and take it slow," Babata said, his voice trembling.

Luo Feng, too, had not expected that he would actually survive.

It was only when he had desperately attacked the soul crystal sphere of the Golden Horned Beast a week ago that he realized the strength of its soul defense.

Even though he had attacked through the minute crack on the crystal, he had nearly burned his own soul star to nothingness.

Fortunately, the Inheritance Soul Seal created by the master of Black Ink Star was actually capable of transforming the soul of a Universe Level 1 Spiritual Reader.

The Inheritance Soul Seal appeared small, merely a crystalline pillar.

Yet in reality, it had been crafted by an existence at the Immortal level.

As this crystalline pillar disintegrated and burned, that overwhelming power instantly breached the soul defenses of the Golden Horned Beast.

Luo Feng's soul, bolstered by this infusion, became immensely powerful in an instant. Realizing his own physical sea of consciousness was collapsing, he made a decisive choice: he unleashed the secret technique of Soul Possession, directly devouring the vast fragments of the Golden Horned Beast's soul.

Furthermore, items like space rings and the Cloud-Touching Vine relied on spiritual imprints for ownership, and Babata's intelligence also maintained contact with Luo Feng through spiritual links.

The soul is the foundation!

Thus, while undergoing Soul Possession, Luo Feng naturally re-established contact with Babata.

"Luo Feng, you have occupied its sea of consciousness, but your soul's compatibility with its body is still very low; you must take it slow."

"Rest assured, I have isolated the surrounding signals. The human world will not detect the life aura of the Devourer Beast for now."

Babata was currently incredibly excited.

The sole successor of Black Ink Star had actually performed Soul Possession on a Starry Sky Behemoth; it felt like he was dreaming.

In the universe, lineage is everything, and the Golden Horned Beast is among the absolute peak of the Starry Sky Behemoths.

"Babata, who exactly is Councilor Li? After devouring the soul fragments of the Golden Horned Beast, I realized the crack on the soul crystal was caused by a small golden sword. At that time, besides me, only Councilor Li was present."

Luo Feng was deeply confused.

If that small golden sword had truly been wielded by Li Qingxu, it meant he possessed the means to kill the Golden Horned Beast.

If that were the case, why would he force Luo Feng to risk his life?

Moreover, back on Mist Island, it was Councilor Li who had hinted to him that there were treasures beneath the island.

That was how he became the successor of Black Ink Star, and now, he had even successfully possessed the Golden Horned Beast.

The more Luo Feng thought about it, the more his heart trembled.

It felt as if everything that had transpired was under the control of Li Qingxu.

"Luo Feng, I told you long ago that that swindler probably isn't one of you Earthlings, but you wouldn't believe me."

"However, he doesn't seem to harbor any malice toward you; on the contrary, he is helping you."

Babata was also somewhat perplexed.

A Golden Horned Beast is incredibly precious, yet not only did that swindler show no interest in it, he even helped the successor of Black Ink Star possess it.
