The Golden Horned Beast was extremely panicked. Just now, when it was fighting Thunder God and Luo Feng, it had already used its Innate Secret Technique "Enhancement," which greatly increased its speed and the attack power of its golden horn!

However, as the battle has continued, the Golden Horned Beast is well aware of its situation. It has not killed anyone, and the effect of its Innate Secret Technique "Enhancement" will soon wear off. It will then enter a period of weakness, and escape will be nothing but a pipe dream.

Although "enhancement" can greatly improve the Golden Horned Beast's combat power, it also puts a tremendous burden on its body.

The Golden Horned Beast was only a year old. In the past year, apart from eating the eggshells which allowed it to grow stronger, neither devouring other King-level monsters in the sea nor consuming the war base made entirely of metal had much effect on its strength.

There was no other way; the metals on Earth were of too low quality and didn't meet the Golden Horned Beast's growth requirements. It had no choice but to make do with what it ate to fill its stomach.

But the Golden Horned Beast never expected that after it had just eaten a war base, seven or eight powerful "big men" would suddenly appear in front of it and beat it up.

At this moment, the Golden Horned Beast felt extremely wronged. It was just a child and had no idea of the dangers of the universe.

In the Golden Horned Beast's mind, hunger naturally leads to eating; there's no question of cruelty or rampage.

Just as humans eat other animals, for the Golden Horned Beast, those monsters, humans, and metal-made war bases are its food. It's simply eating.

What evil intentions could a cub of Golden Horned Beast possibly harbor?

Driven by its own instincts, it constantly searches for food; in fact, how is it any different from a human cub?

But the mistake lies in the fact that the food it sees is not entirely defenseless.

The Law the jungle applies perfectly well, even in the universe. If the Golden Horned Beast uses Earth as its hunting ground, then similarly, humans, as the 'prey,' will retaliate for their own survival.

Just like in the animal documentaries we watch, lions can be killed by buffalo when hunting them, even if the buffalo uses its sharp horns. The instinctive behavior of these Golden Horned Beast is seen as incredibly evil and demonic by humans on Earth.

What's more, there was also an ancient, Intelligent Life Babata standing nearby, drooling wildly as it stared at the Golden Horned Beast's body.

Babata admitted that it was indeed craving the body of the Golden Horned Beast.

"Waaah"

The Golden Horned Beast struggled to its feet. Although its body was already battered and bruised, the pride etched deep within its soul drove it to continue fighting. It wanted to deliver a fatal blow to Zhang Junbao in the final moments before the "enhancement" technique disappeared.

The Golden Horned Beast Golden Horned Beast so named because of its long, golden horn that pierces the sky, possessing terrifying destructive power.

The Golden Horned Beast gathered its last strength, and a dazzling light shone from its golden horn as it fiercely stabbed at Zhang Junbao.

Unfortunately, although the attack was incredibly powerful, it was riddled with flaws in Zhang Junbao's eyes. No matter how powerful the attack, it's all in vain if it can't hit the opponent.

After the Golden Horned Beast entered Zhang Junbao's domain, Zhang Junbao clasped his hands together and, relying on the power of his domain, forcefully distorted the direction of the Golden Horned Beast's attack.

The Golden Horned Beast's furious, all-out attack transformed into a dazzling Golden Light that shot into the sky, creating a massive hole in the Earth's atmosphere.

In an instant, air currents surged, and the surroundings were filled with turbulent winds. A large amount of air flow stirred up a huge storm on the sea. However, as Thunder God's domain expanded, this storm was actually suppressed.

At this moment, the Golden Horned Beast's eyes were filled with resentment and grievance; even now, it still couldn't inflict the slightest harm on Zhang Junbao.

The three who fought it before at least risked their lives, but when it faced Zhang Junbao, it couldn't even injure Zhang Junbao.

Are you resentful? Are you angry?

That's how this universe is. Look down there, at those warriors who died because of you. They were just as resentful and angry.

However, their power is far too insignificant compared to yours, so you can ignore them.

Similarly, your power isn't much to us. Since you've appeared on Earth and caused harm to humanity, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Although the Golden Horned Beast didn't understand what Zhang Junbao was talking about, the coldness in Zhang Junbao's eyes sent a shiver down its spine. A look of terror appeared in the Golden Horned Beast's originally ferocious eyes.

It was the kind of look one gives to ants, and it had used that same look to view the humans in those war bases who were fighting back against it.

How laughable! Mere ants dare to challenge the majesty of the Golden Horned Beast, a pinnacle of cosmic bloodline.

The Golden Horned Beast understood that, in Zhang Junbao's eyes, it was just as insignificant as an ant.

" Meng Yi, you four, suppress the Golden Horned Beast's soul!"

Zhang Junbao had no intention of giving the Golden Horned Beast a chance. He had already witnessed the coldness and cruelty of the universe, and everything he did was for his own survival.

Feeling pity for the pitiful-looking Golden Horned Beast?

Who will pity the humans who died on Earth because of the monster invasion? Who will pity the taxi drivers who were devoured by the Golden Horned Beast?

If they are too weak to resist, and Earth is discovered and invaded by extraterrestrial civilizations, who will pity them?

Upon hearing Zhang Junbao's command, the four Star Level slaves instantly unleashed their Spiritual Force, quickly discovering the Soul Crystal Ball within the Golden Horned Beast's body and suppressing it firmly.

The Golden Horned Beast roared in pain, but its strength was far inferior to that of the four Stellar Level Seven. No matter how the Golden Horned Beast roared or struggled, it could not shake the four powerful Spiritual Force.

" Luo Feng, come here!" Zhang Junbao called out.

Luo Feng, who was resting nearby, was also stunned for a moment, not understanding why Zhang Junbao was calling him.

"I'll break through the Golden Horned Beast's soul defenses later, and you can seize control of it while you're at it!" Zhang Junbao said.

"What?

Junbao, what are you thinking about?

Why didn't you possess his body yourself?

Babata was the first to jump out. In its opinion, the Golden Horned Beast was no longer able to break free from their control, so it was the best choice for Zhang Junbao to possess the Golden Horned Beast himself.

Not only can it completely solve Zhang Junbao's Gene Level problems, but it also allows the Yunmo Star Lineage to gain a successor with the talent of the Golden Horned Beast bloodline.

Let alone a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, such a chance would be rare even over thousands of epochs.

"Yes, Junbao, you are also Spirit Reader, and you obtained the Inheritance Soul Crystal from Yunmo Star. Wouldn't it be best for you to possess it?"

Moreover, the Golden Horned Beast was captured under your leadership.

Although Luo Feng also hoped to obtain such an extraordinary opportunity as the Golden Horned Beast, he was also well aware that without Zhang Junbao, let alone obtaining the opportunity to kill the Golden Horned Beast Golden Horned Beast, it would be difficult for him, Hong, and Thunder God to even kill it, let alone save Earth!

Even Hong and Thunder God, who were standing to the side, were somewhat surprised by Zhang Junbao's choice.

Actually, if we're talking about possession, the two of them could also possess the Golden Horned Beast.

However, firstly, Spirit Reader have a much higher chance of possessing a body than martial artists, because if they want to possess the Golden Horned Beast, they must break through the Golden Horned Beast's soul defense and then completely destroy its will.

Undoubtedly, only Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng, both Spirit Reader, could have accomplished this.

The idea of letting Zhang Junbao break through the Golden Horned Beast's soul defense so that the two of them could possess its body is something they simply cannot bring themselves to say.

Furthermore, although Hong and Thunder God both admired the Golden Horned Beast's powerful talent, they had both already made their own way on their respective paths and even developed their own domains.

The thought of them abandoning their decades-long commitment to the Golden Horned Beast's Path of Gold-Space left them somewhat unwilling.

" Babata, Luo Feng, I have my own considerations."

First, while the Golden Horned Beast possesses formidable talent, I don't believe that the talents of Earth Humans are truly that inferior.

Secondly, I have been deeply involved in the True Meaning of Taiji for a long time, Taiji Path of Yin-Yang is my foundation. However, the Golden Horned Beast belongs to the Gold-Space Dao. Although its Gene Level is higher, it is not suitable for me.

In the path of cultivation, while opportunity is important, what suits you is even more important!

"Babata, if I possess the Golden Horned Beast and want to study the Path of Yin-Yang again, what are the chances?"

Babata was silent for a moment, then said, "Very small. Your special ability, Yin and Yang, is indeed the first time I've seen it. The Golden Horned Beast belongs to the Gold-Space Dao. If it wants to study the Yin and Path of Yin-Yang Light, which is completely inconsistent with its own attributes, the difficulty will increase exponentially."

Moreover, doing so would waste the Golden Horned Beast's original talent, which would be a net loss.

But why can't you follow the Gold-Space Path? With the Golden Horned Beast, becoming Immortal is almost a certainty. Do you know how many World Lord in the universe have been stuck on the threshold of Immortal?

Even the old master had to spend all his savings to become Immortal.

Now that a direct path to heaven is laid out before you, why bother with your Path of Yin-Yang?

Babata couldn't understand Zhang Junbao's choice at all. What Path of Yin-Yang? Was there some kind of Path of Gold-Space that led directly to Immortal?

Babata felt that Zhang Junbao had underestimated Immortal. This was a realm that billions of living beings dreamed of. Undying Immortal Expert lived forever could not be called gods.

Even the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire only has a few Immortal.

"Hehehe, Babata, although I haven't seen as many secret techniques as you, don't underestimate the Taiji Path of Yin-Yang. The Path of Taiji points directly to the Universe Origin. I firmly believe that if one cultivates it to its ultimate level, it wouldn't be surprising if a completely new universe were to evolve!"

Zhang Junbao's expression was resolute; no one understood the immense potential of Path of Taiji better than him. The essence of Taiji is not about understanding a particular Law, but about interpreting the universe!

It incorporates all the operational laws and Law of the entire universe.

Thinking about this, Zhang Junbao suddenly had a flash of insight.

Incorporating all the Universe Laws into it—isn't that exactly what the Virtual Universe Network is all about?

Could it be that humanity's first and Universe Supreme Master, the Original Ancestor, once shared the same idea? It seems the Original Ancestor has already put it into practice.

The Original Ancestor possessed the Original Universe and established Virtual Universe Network to simulate the universe's execution. These clues lay before Zhang Junbao, making him suddenly understand the true reason why the Original Ancestor was suppressed by the Universe Origin.

Taiji Path of Yin-Yang are taken to their extreme, will they become like the Original Ancestor? So powerful that even the very Universe Origin would have to be wary of them?

Thinking about all this, Zhang Junbao became even more determined in his decision. Although the Golden Horned Beast's Path of Gold-Space was good, its Taiji Path of Yin-Yang might have even more terrifying potential.

" Babata, my mind is made up, there's no need to say anything more." Seeing that Babata still wanted to persuade him, Zhang Junbao also announced his decision.

"Don't forget, Luo Feng is also from the Yunmo Star Lineage. He and I possessed the Golden Horned Beast, so to the Yunmo Star Lineage, there is no difference."

Are you still worried that Luo Feng might not acknowledge his identity as a descendant of the Yunmo Star Lineage?

Babata looked at Luo Feng and finally nodded.

Well, since Zhang Junbao is so determined, Babata can't persuade him. After all, he's just an Intelligent Life, and the one who can truly decide who possesses the Golden Horned Beast is Zhang Junbao.

Besides, so what if Luo Feng possessed someone else's body? The flesh is still in the pot; they're all descendants of the Yunmo Star Lineage!

With that thought in mind, Babata felt relieved.

Whether it's Luo Feng or Zhang Junbao, the Golden Horned Beast will not escape the grasp of the Yunmo Star Lineage today.

" Junbao, I..." Luo Feng could hardly believe that Zhang Junbao would give him such an incredible opportunity.

" Luo Feng, you are originally of the metal element, Golden Horned Beast's Gold-Space Dao is most suitable for you. Moreover, your crazy fighting style is also very compatible with the Golden Horned Beast."

Everyone has their own path. I'm not giving you away my opportunity, but rather maximizing the benefits brought by the Golden Horned Beast. Furthermore, don't underestimate my Taiji Path of Yin-Yang; even if it were a real Golden Horned Beast, I could easily subdue it!

Luo Feng then remembered the scene where the Golden Horned Beast unleashed its strongest attack, only to have it easily neutralized by Zhang Junbao.

Is Taiji Chi really that powerful?

Unfortunately, just as Zhang Junbao said, everyone has their own path, Golden Horned Beast's Gold-Space Path is indeed the most suitable for him.

Neither Hong and Zhang Junbao's beams nor Thunder God's lightning could maximize its effect.

"The Earth may face many crises in the future. Giving you the Golden Horned Beast now is also a way of hoping that when we can no longer hold on, you can shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Earth."

"Don't be naive enough to think that you're safe just by hiding on Earth. Earth will be discovered by other extraterrestrial civilizations sooner or later."

There are even many cosmic thieves in the universe who specialize in plundering habitable planets. Once discovered, everyone on the planet will be enslaved.

Cosmic slaves, once implanted with chips, have their life and death at the mercy of others.

"You've met Meng Yi and the other three, and you should have asked them about the current situation in their hometown," Zhang Junbao said.

Zhang Junbao and his companions treated these slaves purchased from the universe quite well; they never beat or scolded them, and they were treated like bodyguards, not slaves.

Therefore, the four Star Level slaves felt grateful to Zhang Junbao and his companions. They had all witnessed how other slave owners treated their slaves as less than human beings, beating and scolding them at will was the least of it; torture, humiliation, and even sending them to their deaths were not uncommon.

Luo Feng knew that Meng Yi, this towering, cosmic -Star Level powerhouse, also harbored an indelible pain within his heart.

When the cosmic bandits descended upon their planet, Meng Yi, the strongest being on the planet, was utterly powerless against dozens of Star Level cosmic thieves and was enslaved. His wife and daughters were even humiliated in front of him, and he couldn't even bring himself to self-destruct.

Luo Feng couldn't imagine the madness and despair he would feel if Earth were invaded, and someone killed his parents and younger brother right in front of him, or even raped Xu Xin in front of him.

No!

We absolutely cannot let this happen!

"Now, tell me, are you ready to possess the Golden Horned Beast?" Zhang Junbao stared at Luo Feng and asked seriously.

"Good!"

Luo Feng nodded heavily. He knew that from now on, he would have to shoulder more responsibility for protecting our planet Earth.

Luo Feng secretly vowed that if he ever encountered an opportunity suitable for Zhang Junbao, Hong, and Thunder God, he would do everything in his power to help them seize it.

" Luo Feng, you need to be careful. Even if Junbao helps you break through the Golden Horned Beast Golden Horned Beast's soul defense, you still need to defeat its will yourself."

The risks involved are extremely high. If you cannot overcome the will of the Golden Horned Beast, you will surely die!

Looking across the entire universe, no one dares to say that every attempt to possess another body is 100% successful.

Having four Stellar Level Seven slaves to suppress the Golden Horned Beast's will, and with Junbao helping you break through the Golden Horned Beast's soul defense, is already an extremely rare opportunity!

Remember, only by breaking the Golden Horned Beast's will and seizing its consciousness can you truly succeed in possessing it!

"I understand, come on!"

Luo Feng's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Although they were the four strongest fighters on Earth, Luo Feng had always been at the bottom.

Zhang Junbao and Hong Yi had long ago comprehended their own domains, making them strong enough to sweep aside their peers. Thunder God also comprehended his domain at the Planetary Level Ninth Grade, thus entering the Star Level as well.

Luo Feng, however, has always been someone Zhang Junbao and the other two take care of. Despite having the help of the three domains, Luo Feng still hasn't been able to comprehend his own domain. As for combat skills, Luo Feng is utterly crushed by the three of them.

Luo Feng was unwilling to accept being a burden, and he didn't want to be powerless to resist when disaster struck. He could only place his hopes on Zhang Junbao and the other two.

Luo Feng looked at the Golden Horned Beast, his eyes revealing an unprecedented determination. What did it matter if he became a monster, as long as he could protect his family?

Luo Feng possessed an absolutely ruthless and insane streak; he was unwilling to settle for mediocrity.

At this moment, the Golden Horned Beast could no longer even roar. Its scales were shattered, a result of the weakness that followed the use of the "strengthening" secret technique.

However, she was suppressed by four Stellar Level Seven slaves and could not move. Like a helpless little girl, her limbs were ruthlessly restrained by four strong men. No one paid any attention to her screams.

Zhang Junbao was also gradually eroding the defenses on its Soul Crystal Ball.

After so much research, Zhang Junbao has gradually grasped the patterns of the runes on the Golden Horned Beast's Soul Crystal Ball. He is slowly shattering the Golden Horned Beast's soul defense.

Luo Feng's Spiritual Force surged, forming a massive Void Tower. He also cultivated the Void Tower, Soul Defense Secret Technique of the Yunmo Star lineage.

At the same time, Luo Feng burned the star core in his sea of consciousness, and his soul flew out of his body and completely merged into the Void Tower.

"Now's the time, Luo Feng, the rest is up to you!" Zhang Junbao finally broke through the Golden Horned Beast's soul defense.

At the same time, Luo Feng's soul possessed the Void Tower and frantically poured into the Golden Horned Beast's Soul Crystal Ball.

The possession of the Golden Horned Beast has officially begun!
