Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 43, First Episode of the New Year: Slaying the Dragon (Part 2)

On the other hand, after hanging up the phone, Zhu Xi immediately convened a video conference with high-ranking military officials.

Celebrating the New Year?
What a load of rubbish!
Compared to eliminating the Thunder Dragon Emperor as soon as possible, we can completely skip this Spring Festival.

Soon, the meeting ended, and the fighter jets carrying the probes took off from Kyoto base and flew towards the Pacific Ocean to conduct a full-scale search.

At the same time, the military representatives sent a note to the representatives of the other four major powers, the Ultimate Martial Arts School, the Thunder Martial Arts School, and the HR Alliance, proposing a search for the whereabouts of the Thunder Dragon Emperor.

Thunder Dragon Emperor is the enemy of all mankind. Lu, the councilor from China who killed 24 king-level monsters in one night, is preparing to kill Thunder Dragon Emperor.
Without hesitation, all forces cooperated fully and immediately dispatched fighter jets equipped with detectors to search for the Thunder Dragon Emperor's whereabouts.

If you dare to refuse or decline, that would be a betrayal of humanity.

The various forces were highly efficient. Before dawn broke in Jiangnan Base City, American warplanes carrying probes discovered the Thunder Dragon Emperor's trail in the waters surrounding the Polynesian Islands in the central Pacific Ocean.

Two minutes later, at Jiangnan Base City.

"Whoosh!"

A streak of light shot into the sky, piercing the night sky, and flew eastward at a speed of tens of Mach.

Meanwhile, several satellites were already pointing at the sea surface around the Polynesian islands, which was already welcoming the dawn.

The slaying of the Thunder Dragon Emperor is a 'dragon-slaying war' that concerns the fate of humanity; how could it not be broadcast live by satellite?

In other words, adjusting the satellite's position takes time, and given the remote location of this area, there would definitely be many more satellites pointing at this sea area.

Even so, major news media outlets around the world have used all their resources to secure live broadcast or rebroadcast rights from the countries that own the satellites.

At this moment, in 52 base cities around the world, as long as you turn on the TV, no matter which channel you watch, the image that appears is the shimmering sea under the rising sun.

At first glance, you might be confused and not understand what this is about.

But when the host's excited voice reached their ears, people watching on television or online learned about the upcoming 'battle to slay the dragon'.

"Whoosh!"

Without keeping the global audience waiting any longer, Lu Jin, dressed in white battle armor and carrying a platinum triangular cone, flew across time zones and arrived at the sea area where the Thunder Dragon Emperor was hiding.

"Here they come! Councilor Lu is here!"
According to satellite detection, Councilor Lu's flight speed just now exceeded 100,000 meters per second, approximately three hundred times the speed of sound!

Seeing the streak of light shooting rapidly towards them on the live stream, which transformed into a figure clad in white battle armor, the host gave a passionate and enthusiastic commentary.

Three hundred times the speed of sound?
This speed completely stunned everyone who was following the battle, and also amazed all the planetary-level politicians on Earth.

Although speed is not the only indicator of a strong person's strength, Lu Jin's ability to unleash such an outrageous speed speaks volumes about his strength.

Given that Hong, who wields the power of the domain like a god, is now able to awaken, he probably wouldn't be a match for Lu Jin, right?
Above the sea, Lu Jin stood suspended in mid-air, his powerful mental energy radiating outwards, covering an area of ​​tens of kilometers.

In an instant, the Thunder Dragon Emperor, a creature over a thousand meters long covered in scales and resembling a mythical thunder dragon, appeared in Lu Jin's perception.

'With such a big reputation and decent skills, I hope you can drop some good stuff.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

'Wow—'

The next moment, Lu Jin directly activated his innate secret technique 'Time Stop'.

As Lu Jin's internal energy was depleted, mysterious fluctuations in time arose, and the Thunder Dragon Emperor, which was entrenched in the seabed, felt itself instantly plunged into a dark and silent world.

At this moment, the Thunder Dragon Emperor felt he could no longer control his body. Besides the darkness and silence, the only thing that could move was his own consciousness.

"call out!"

At the same time, Lu Jin thought for a moment and without activating the 'Divine Light Spell', a triangular cone of light shot out at high speed and instantly disappeared into the sea below.

Under the control of mental power, the triangular light cone that shot into the seawater maintained almost the same speed and hit the Thunder Dragon Emperor, who was completely unable to move at the bottom of the sea, in an instant.

"Oh!"

A muffled explosion rang out, and a sharp triangular cone of light instantly pierced through the scales on the Thunder Dragon Emperor's forehead and skull, went straight into his brain, and then burst out from the back of his head.

Since there was no accurate comparison, Lu Jin was also unsure whether Lei Longhuang was at the seventh level of the planetary realm or at the peak of the seventh level of the planetary realm.

Even if we consider him to be at the peak of the seventh level of planetary power, his mental power, even without any psychic amplification, was enough to instantly kill the Thunder Dragon Emperor with a single strike from the triangular light cone.

A planet at the peak of the ninth rank with ten times the life genes, its basic strength is 40 times that of a planet at the peak of the seventh rank.

For planetary-level life forms, the sharpness of the Radiant Cone is extremely high, coupled with a power difference of dozens of times.

Having no treasures and relying solely on its own scales for defense, the Thunder Dragon Emperor was naturally unable to withstand the attack and was instantly killed, its head exploding on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of golden light appeared, and a golden ball of light fell from the now-dead Thunder Dragon Emperor before disappearing.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jin was overjoyed and immediately separated a wisp of his consciousness to sink into the external space.

[Dropped Item: Time-Traveling Skin Fragment]

[Drop Source: Thunder Dragon Emperor (Dragon Scale)]

[Drop Tier: Ascended Drop]

[Item Description: Skin fragment of a planetary-level special life form 'Hour']

[Shichen: A special life form based on the energy-based laws of time, with 800 times the life gene strength, possessing two great innate secret techniques: ①. Mastery of time, ②. Shadow of time]

Mastering Time: Mastering the Three Profound Mysteries of the Superior Time Law (Note: Specific effects depend on the strength of both sides)

【Shadow of Time: Can condense a time image, including factors that affect strength such as level, genes, secret techniques, and treasures. The time image is identical to the main body, and the main body must bear all the energy consumption of the time image.

Each planetary-level being can condense one time image, and the number of time images condensed increases by one for each major realm increase in the life level of the 'Hour'.

Looking at the palm-sized, silver skin covered with mysterious patterns inside the external storage space, Lu Jin fell silent.

Good news: It's sublimation.

Bad news: It's an Ascension drop based on Monster materials.

Good news: Although this 'monster material' is extremely incomplete, it is of extraordinary nature and is the genetic material of a special life form.

Moreover, it is the genetic material of a planetary-level special life form that could not possibly exist in reality.

Bad news: He has no secret technique for creating clones, and the life gene multiplier of his special life 'hour' is a full eight hundred times.

Based on the spawning efficiency of the Golden Horned Beast's clone technique, even if it possesses the clone technique, it wouldn't be able to spawn one in a short time.
