Background / History

Original beast and genetic acquisition

The original Golden Horned Beast was a newly hatched juvenile concealed in a 7,800-meter-deep Atlantic trench. It was approximately twelve meters long, feeding on its eggshell to convert it into metallic energy during its weak period. Lin Fan identified it as a peak-universe-bloodline Starry Sky Behemoth and kept the X-101 at a distance to avoid its keen senses. 46

Using the Origin Placenta's analysis function, Lin Fan recorded the juvenile's gene chain without physical contact or alerting it. The system reconstructed the data into a “Gene Supplemented Version” clone embryo, housed as a black egg bearing golden secret patterns in the Bronze Hall. 46

Hatching and inherited memories

The embryo's natural incubation estimate was one year and six months. Lin Fan repeatedly expended True Self avatars to accelerate it; each consumed True Self added 1% progress and required twenty-four hours to reform. The clone hatched after the process reached completion during the journey to Qiu Long Planet. 47

Lin Fan initially confined the newborn in the Bronze Hall while it received its inherited memories. Those memories included universal knowledge, racial intelligence, and numerous Golden Horned Beast secret techniques. 47 52

Resource-fed evolution

On Mystic Magnetic Desolate Star, Lin Fan discovered that Sky Splitter could enlarge to fit the beast's back and wings, absorb ore through its silver-white domain, and feed the resulting energy into the clone's core. This energy painfully remodeled the beast's body and enlarged its internal world, effectively replacing direct metal consumption as a growth source. 67

Lin Fan subsequently used large-scale mining operations to raise both the Golden Horned Beast and his divine weapons. The clone progressed from Planetary Level to the ninth level of the Star Level as its internal world expanded from 2 to 90 kilometers. 67 68

Universe-level clone progenitor

After reaching Universe Level, the Golden Horned Beast used its innate Avatar, Gestate technique on a Crystal Thunder Clan life-core fragment. It extracted the fragment's genetic material and formed an egg within its internal world; the resulting Crystal Thunder Clan clone hatched three months later at first-stage Universe Level. 76 77

Appearance

The Golden Horned Beast is a colossal black-scaled Starry Sky Behemoth with metallic features and golden bloodline secret patterns. Its original juvenile form was observed at roughly twelve meters long, while the Origin Placenta clone grew to 9,000 meters upon reaching Universe Level. 46 76

• Black body resembling forged metal. 46
• Broad scales and wings; Sky Splitter can attach across its back and match the wings' size. 46 67
• Golden horns and ancient secret patterns across the head and body. 46 76
• At Universe Level, a third horn grew between its two existing golden horns. 76
• Possesses an internal world connected to its core. 67 76

Abilities & Skills

Peak Bloodline Inheritance

As a Golden Horned Beast, it possesses one of the twelve peak Starry Sky Behemoth bloodlines. Its inherited memories contain universal knowledge and a vast collection of racial secret techniques. 52

• The species is stated to become a World Lord upon adulthood. 46
• Naturally suited to the Laws of Gold and Space. 52
• Inherited techniques named in its memories include Absolute Space, Sky-Rending Claw, and True Body Heaven and Earth. 52 53

Internal World

The beast's core contains an internal world that expands alongside its cultivation and serves as the foundation for its clone-gestation ability. 67 76

• Expanded from 2 km to 90 km through Sky Splitter's energy feedback and mineral extraction. 67 68
• Underwent a qualitative change at Universe Level, reaching 1,000 km in length and width. 76
• Its internal world is a metal continent filled with golden mist. 76

Avatar, Gestate

At Universe Level, the Golden Horned Beast can use its innate clone-gestation technique to create a new avatar from genetic material. 72 75 76

• Perfectly inherited the Golden Horned Beast species' clone-spawning talent through the Origin Placenta. 72
• Used a Crystal Thunder Clan life-core fragment to gestate a Crystal Thunder Clan clone. 76
• A gestated clone cannot exceed the Golden Horned Beast's current realm. 76
• The Crystal Thunder Clan clone was born directly at Universe Level. 76 77

Golden Prison Rending Claw

A Golden Horned Beast-exclusive secret technique centered on the Law of Gold. Lin Fan had five hundred True Self avatars transform into smaller Golden Horned Beast forms to practice and deduce it. 69

• Reached entry level after two years of persistent cultivation. 70
• Its mastery brought Lin Fan to the first level of the Metal Law Domain. 70

Golden Wing Flowing Light

A secret technique selected from the beast's inherited memories for cultivation alongside its claw and armor techniques. 52

Golden Source Scale Armor

A defensive secret technique that inscribes the Law of Gold onto the beast's scales, creating armor tailored to its body. 52

• Enhances the Golden Horned Beast's already formidable natural defense. 52
• Has seven stages of comprehension. 52

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Sky Splitter — Can enlarge and attach to the Golden Horned Beast's back as silver-black wings. Its metal-devouring domain returns energy directly into the beast's core, strengthening its body and internal world. 67 68
• Crystal Thunder Clan life-core fragment — Consumed as the genetic template for the Crystal Thunder Clan clone. 72 76

Relationships

• Lin Fan — Creator, controller, and consciousness-linked host of the Origin Placenta clone. The clone may return to the True Self Hall while within Lin Fan's line of sight. 46 47 67
• Original Golden Horned Beast — The Atlantic juvenile whose genetic information served as the template for the system-created clone. 46
• Sky Splitter — A divine weapon that attaches to the beast's wings and channels metal-derived energy into its core. 67 68
• Huisuo Behemoth Clone — Fellow peak-bloodline Starry Sky Behemoth clone; the two stood together in the True Self Hall. 74
• Crystal Thunder Clan Clone — The Golden Horned Beast's gestated avatar, created from a life-core fragment. 76 77

Trivia

• The Origin Placenta produced a genetically “supplemented” version of the Golden Horned Beast rather than an ordinary copy. 46
• The Bronze Hall can reduce the clone's displayed size to only a few meters long. 52
• The clone's first external manifestation occurred on Mystic Magnetic Desolate Star, where Lin Fan tested whether it could absorb Sky Splitter's feedback energy. 67
