Before long, Jiang Xian flew above the Pacific Ocean. Then he realized he could not find the two Beast Emperors at all.
Jiang Xian realized he had been misled. Reality was not a novel; finding two Beast Emperors hidden in the depths of the vast ocean was simply too difficult.
There were only two options now. The first was, naturally, to slaughter King-level sea monsters until he had killed enough to force the two Beast Emperors out. But if the Beast Emperors unleashed a monster tide, innocent people might get hurt, and ordinary civilians could be caught up in it.
The second option was, naturally, to have the world's top powers help search for the Beast Emperors, then go kill them at their precise locations.
So Jiang Xian sped toward Kyoto Base City. As the saying went, returning nowhere near home after making your fortune was like wearing fine robes in the dark.
With that thought, Jiang Xian turned into a streak of light and tore through the atmosphere, his speed steady and fierce. At dozens of times the speed of sound, he crossed more than half of Huaxia's territory, heading straight for the Jiang family's ancestral home in Kyoto Base City. Along the way, he casually killed any King-level monsters he encountered.
The Jiang family had a respectable foundation. Jiang Xian's grandfather was a War God Level expert, and the family was also one of the HR Alliance's twelve great families in Huaxia.
Soon, Jiang Xian returned to the Jiang family and met his grandfather, Jiang Zhenyue.
"When did you get back, you brat? You made such a fuss about going to Jiangnan Base City before. Finally willing to come home now?" Jiang Zhenyue teased.
"Grandpa, I came across some opportunities and have already broken through to Councilor Level. I came back because I need your help with something."
Jiang Xian slowly rose into the air as he spoke.
Watching Jiang Xian hover in the air, Jiang Zhenyue was utterly shocked. What? My grandson has already reached Councilor Level at eighteen? Doesn't that make him Earth's greatest genius?
Before Jiang Zhenyue could recover, Jiang Xian continued.
"Grandpa, I'm already the strongest of all Earth Humans, far beyond Hong and Thunder God. The main reason I came back was to ask you to contact the major powers on Earth and have them help me find the Beast Emperors. I intend to deal with both of them. If they don't believe I have the strength, they're welcome to spar with me anytime."
"All right, Xian. I'll contact them right away." Jiang Zhenyue quickly recovered from his shock.
"No rush, Grandpa. Call my parents over first. I've prepared something good for you." Jiang Xian planned to have his parents and grandfather consume the Divine Spring, then provide them with revival coins. Reunited after a long separation, the family spent a full day together.
The next day, after everything had been arranged.
Upon hearing the news, Hong and Thunder God immediately headed to the Jiang family. They wanted to test Jiang Xian's abilities and see what gave him the confidence to deal with the two Beast Emperors.
There were no surprises. With his tenfold genes and his foothold across the threshold of the Law of Earth, Jiang Xian instantly suppressed Hong and Thunder God. After their defeat, they proposed that he become the First Speaker.
Jiang Xian did not refuse and accepted outright. In a world of extraordinary powers, whoever had the biggest fist called the shots. That was perfectly normal. This was not an ordinary world where seniority determined rank.
The two said the Two Great Dojos would devote their full efforts to finding the two Beast Emperors.
As for the other powers, once they learned that neither Thunder God nor Hong could match Jiang Xian, they all acknowledged him as First Speaker. Then the major powers put their full efforts into searching for the Beast Emperors. After all, those two were humanity's greatest enemies.
Three days later, Jiang Xian had successfully mastered the White Emperor Golden Slash and crossed the threshold of the Law of Metal.
Huaxia Country's detectors finally found the Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor, while the Dojo of Limits' detectors found the Thunder Dragon Emperor.
The Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor was in the depths of the East Sea.
Jiang Xian arrived above the Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor, and the creature sensed his presence.
Deep beneath the sea, an utterly terrifying aura abruptly awakened!
Boom!
The boundless seawater exploded as an enormous eight-armed beast, its body stretching a thousand meters, burst from the sea. Dense black tentacles stretched across the surface, every one covered in vicious barbs and dripping with a deadly venom potent enough to corrode alloys and dissolve Origin Energy.
In an instant, its eight arms tore through the seawater amid clouds of poisonous mist, sealing off every direction as they slammed toward Jiang Xian with devastating force!
Jiang Xian looked at the Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor and flew toward it, using the Law of Metal to destroy its island-sized head outright.
Once the Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor's head was destroyed, its eight arms stopped in midair and fell. One of the two Beast Emperors-the Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor-was dead.
After killing the Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor, Jiang Xian dragged its corpse along and swiftly flew toward the Thunder Dragon Emperor's location.
Jiang Xian had originally intended to kill the Thunder Dragon Emperor. But after seeing him, he changed his mind.
The Thunder Dragon Emperor's thousand-meter-long draconic body, wreathed in lightning, was simply too cool. He was practically a "supercar."
Besides, Jiang Xian felt that Earth's two Beast Emperors were counterparts to Hong and Thunder God. Their potential did not seem likely to be too poor, and he felt that these Beast Emperors should also have received Earth's boost. This one would make a perfect mount.
So, after firmly suppressing the Thunder Dragon Emperor with his Earth Domain, Jiang Xian sent his consciousness into the group chat.
[Jiang Xian: "Fang Han, are you there? Ask Yan whether he has any beast-taming methods. Send me one."]
[Fang Han: "Group owner, I just asked Yan. He does. I'll send it to you now."]
[Fang Han uploaded a file: Huangquan Sect Beast Taming Method.]
After downloading the file, Jiang Xian quickly comprehended it and enslaved the Thunder Dragon Emperor outright. The Thunder Dragon Emperor became his first mount.
Once Jiang Xian had enslaved him, the Thunder Dragon Emperor stopped resisting. He lowered his head to let Jiang Xian stand on it. Jiang Xian slowly descended onto the Thunder Dragon Emperor's head.
Although Planetary Level experts could fly, what Huaxia native could resist riding a dragon? Jiang Xian notified the authorities that the Thunder Dragon Emperor had become his mount and was no longer dangerous. Then he had the Thunder Dragon Emperor carry him on a circuit around Huaxia.
Because the Thunder Dragon Emperor was too large, having him fly directly to the Jiang family home would be inconvenient. Jiang Xian told him to stay in the East Sea and restrain the sea monsters, keeping them from coming ashore.
Jiang Xian sold the Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor he had slain. The five great powers, the HR Alliance, and the Two Great Dojos each bought a portion.
Jiang Xian left most of the resources to the Jiang family. Most resources on Earth were essentially of no use to him anymore.
Apart from Earth itself, the most valuable things on the planet now were that Zerg Mother Emperor and the Yun Mo Planet inheritance.
Luo Feng had just finished a day of training. After returning home, he turned on the television. The regular martial artist news abruptly switched to a global emergency broadcast, and a photograph of Jiang Xian riding atop the Thunder Dragon Emperor's head appeared on the screen.
With a solemn expression, the official presenter announced news that shook the entire Earth: "Fellow citizens of Huaxia, fellow humans across the globe, let us cheer together! A great victory for humanity has been brought to a close today! Councilor Jiang Xian, Earth's newly risen strongest expert, ventured into the ocean alone and successfully slew the Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor. He even subdued the Thunder Dragon Emperor as his mount! The crisis that has long hung over humanity's head has completely dissipated. In the years ahead, Huaxia and the entire human world will enter a new era of peace and stability! This is a victory for all humanity, a new milestone in the age of martial artists!"
