Chapter 57: Golden Horned Beast

Above the endless ocean of the Pacific on Earth.

A completely jet‑black disc‑shaped spaceship tore through space and appeared here in an instant.

The next second, the disc‑shaped ship vanished, and a black‑haired youth clad in violet‑red battle armor materialized above the ocean.

"Babata, where is the target?"

Zhou Yang asked.

Not long ago, Babata, using the nano‑sensing robots previously deployed into the sea, detected an unfamiliar and powerful life force emerging in the Pacific.

Cross‑referencing the original timeline, Zhou Yang surmised that it was likely the long‑sought Golden Horned Beast that had appeared!

Without a moment's delay, he boarded the Black Dragon Mountain and arrived above the Pacific waters.

"The target is about 80 km to the southeast, its life force is roughly Planet Level seventh or eighth tier, and it is moving steadily toward due south."

Babata replied promptly.

"Planet Level seventh‑eighth? Looks like the discovery was timely!"

Zhou Yang felt a quiet joy.

"Let's go, take a look!"

Zhou Yang stepped onto the arc‑blade platform, and his speed surged to the extreme in an instant.

In less than half a minute, he closed in on the vicinity of the target that Babata had sensed.

"Wow!"

His figure plunged straight into the raging sea, and powerful Spiritual Thought Power propelled his rapid descent.

A moment later, a massive black shadow appeared in his senses.

As Zhou Yang drew nearer, the full shape of the shadow gradually materialized before him.

It was a beast over 150 meters tall, somewhat resembling a lion.

Its body was covered with countless black Scales, each edge as sharp as a knife and chilling to the touch.

A pair of massive wings, as if forged of steel, unfolded on its back, spanning a terrifying over 200 meters.

Most striking was the enormous single horn jutting forward from its forehead, as if eager to pierce the heavens.

The jet‑black horn was entwined with concentric circles of Golden Secret Runes; the intricate golden patterns spread from the horn down the neck, across the entire back, to the tail, as if cloaking it in a mixed gold‑and‑black armor.

Its pair of dark‑gold massive pupils were wide open, brimming with extreme ferocity, coldness, and savage brutality.

"Heavens, it's the Golden Horned Beast! Damn, I actually saw a living Golden Horned Beast!"

The moment he saw the massive beast, Babata's exclamation rang in Zhou Yang's mind!

"What on Earth is happening, why are strange incidents happening so often lately!"

Within his smart gauntlet, Babata, looking like a child in a black robe, was so excited he was nearly frantic, his blood‑red eyes emitting dazzling light.

"It's only Planet Level? Damn, Zhou Yang, you hit the jackpot, this is a fate‑defying encounter, quick, quickly seize that Golden Horned Beast!"

"Indeed, it's the Golden Horned Beast."

Hearing Babata's confirmation in his mind, Zhou Yang's face also broke into a delighted smile.

Since the day he obtained the Yunmo Star Inheritance, he had Babata monitor the entire ocean's life force, aiming to locate the Golden Horned Beast that could bring a massive disaster to Earth as early as possible.

Now more than two years have passed, and finally, the Golden Horned Beast has emerged!

Sensing that the massive beast below still emitted life force clearly below Stellar Level, Zhou Yang let out a quiet sigh of relief.

"It's not too late!"

At that moment, the Golden Horned Beast swimming deep in the sea seemed to sense the gaze from above.

Soon it caught sight of the approaching "little speck" above.

"Aoo~~~"

The Golden Horned Beast flung its massive jaws open and roared angrily, the huge sound wave rippling swiftly through the water.

"Wow!"

Its colossal body, over 150 meters, maneuvered deftly in the water and charged straight toward Zhou Yang.

"Haha, Zhou Yang, this Golden Horned Beast is foolish; it actually rushed straight at you!"

Babata's excited voice rang in his mind,

"This Golden Horned Beast has noble lineage, its strength far surpasses human Warriors of the same tier; it likely didn't take you seriously, but this time it'll suffer a huge loss."

"Didn't take me seriously?"

Zhou Yang also smiled.

The next second, streaks of golden arc light shot out from the arc‑blade platform beneath his feet, then continuously coalesced ahead into a golden curved blade over a meter long.

"Sss~"

The golden curved blade pierced the endless sea and instantly shot toward the Golden Horned Beast!

"Aang~"

The Golden Horned Beast raised its head and howled, the Golden Secret Runes on its black horn lighting up in concentric circles, dyeing the entire horn gold.

"Clang!!!"

The lightning‑fast golden curved blade slammed into the golden horn, and the invisible shockwave made the surrounding water churn violently.

"Wuh~"

Blocking the strike, the Golden Horned Beast quickly opened its mouth, forming a black vortex at its gaping maw.

At the same moment, Zhou Yang, standing directly before it, suddenly froze as a massive suction force descended upon him.

The force seemed to freeze the space around him, rendering any evasive move impossible.

Zhou Yang's body was inevitably pulled by the colossal force, soaring rapidly toward the abyss‑like gaping mouth.

"Zhou Yang, be careful, that's likely the Golden Horned Beast's Innate Secret Technique, looks like a devouring type."

Babata's reminder rang in Zhou Yang's mind.

"Don't worry."

Zhou Yang showed no sign of panic; he seemed to abandon resistance, letting his body drift forward swiftly with the force.

Yet just as his body was about to fall into that massive black vortex, strands of silver light darted around him like electric snakes.

"Buzz!"

A silver Domain, over a hundred meters in diameter, instantly opened and blocked directly in front of the Golden Horned Beast's mouth.

Within the silver Domain, the space seemed to ripple slightly, easily resisting the massive Swallow force.

Zhou Yang stood within the silver Domain, allowing the Golden Horned Beast to exert any force, yet his figure remained completely still.

"Awooo~~~"

In the Golden Horned Beast's massive dark gold pupils, a visibly puzzled expression rose.

"It's my turn!"

Seizing the opportunity, Zhou Yang instantly launched an attack!

Within the Consciousness Sea, a massive amount of Spiritual Thought Power quickly coalesced into an invisible sharp sword.

"Soul Seal" Secret Technique, second layer, Ten Thousand Sword Soul Seal!

"Go!"

As Zhou Yang's intention shifted, the invisible sword shot out like a gust, instantly piercing the Golden Horned Beast's massive head.

"Awo~~~"

The moment the sword entered its body, the Golden Horned Beast let out a painful roar, as if feeling immense agony.

Yet after only a moment, the Golden Horned Beast calmed again.

In Zhou Yang's perception, its life force did not seem to have weakened much.

"Hmm? It seems it has transferred the Primordial Core to that place!"

Zhou Yang's thoughts shifted slightly, and he quickly understood.

This Golden Horned Beast differs from ordinary flesh beings; its life core is the Primordial Core that nurtures an inner world, and as long as the Primordial Core remains, it cannot die.

"Then let's be more violent!"

Zhou Yang raised his hand and pointed; curved blades flew out one after another, rapidly assembling in front of him into a massive rotating flywheel.

"Buzz~"

The flywheel spun at high speed and instantly shot out, strands of silver light continuously flowing over it, making its trajectory unpredictable.

"Pop!"

Enveloped by silver light, the massive flywheel was unmatched in sharpness, its speed reaching the extreme.

The gigantic Golden Horned Beast couldn't even react; the head bearing a massive single horn was sliced off directly.

"Pop pop pop pop~"

The silver light wheel spun and fell again; with each rotation, a portion of the Golden Horned Beast's massive body was flung away.

Skull, double wings, four hooves

Soon the Golden Horned Beast was reduced to a bare skeleton.

"Found it!"

Zhou Yang's eyes lit up!

In the gap of the Golden Horned Beast's left front paw bone, a transparent crystal sphere about twenty-some centimeters in diameter, etched with intricate secret patterns, was quietly lodged.

"Zhou Yang, that is the Primordial Core unique to the Golden Horned Beast clan, its life core; grab it quickly!"

Babata quickly reminded.

"Hmm."

Zhou Yang responded softly, and a torrent of Spiritual Thought Power surged out, shaping into a massive transparent dome that instantly enveloped the secret-patterned crystal sphere.

"Awo~~~"

From the Primordial Core came a massive roar, and a slightly shrunken Golden Horned Beast body reappeared in Zhou Yang's view.

"Mo Yun Teng, up!"

Zhou Yang's expression remained unchanged; six massive vines as thick as water buckets burst from his back, instantly entangling the Golden Horned Beast.
