Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 53 Turning the Tide, Saving the Collapsed Building

"Alright, I'll go and take care of the King-level monsters right away."

Lu Jin nodded.

He didn't act immediately, waiting for the old man to negotiate with the representatives of various forces.

He didn't care about worldly interests, but the Lu family needed him.

Even if the Lu family grows stronger in the future, it may not be able to provide him with any help.

However, in life, we cannot always measure things solely by self-interest.

For example, if parents who don't have a pension get old and can no longer earn money, should they be considered a burden and abandoned?

Are you still a human?!

Born into the Lu family, he had never been mistreated by his family and elders. Now that he had taken off, Lu Jin didn't mind letting his family benefit from his success; it was just a matter of convenience.

"Whoosh!"

Soon, a streak of light flew out from the Jiangnan base city, heading towards the eastern sea area at a speed of hundreds of Mach.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

His mental energy radiated outwards, covering a distance of dozens of miles. The triangular light cone shot out at high speed, sweeping across the king-level monsters lurking in the eastern coastal waters of China from south to north.

Lu Jin turned east and flew towards Los Angeles, the base city of the beautiful country located in the southwestern part of the North American continent.

Half a minute later, at the Los Angeles base city.

"Boom boom boom——"

The earth roared as countless lord-level, beast general-level, and beast soldier-level monsters, braving the military's relentless artillery fire, charged relentlessly towards the towering walls of the base city ahead.

'waste!'

Seeing that the beast tide had already breached the war bases scattered outside the base city and was heading straight for the last line of defense of the base city, Lu Jin couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The next moment, the Radiant Cones appeared on the side, and the mental power controlled fifty triangular light cones to shoot out towards the beast tide below.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

In an instant, a streak of white-gold light flashed, and all the lord-level monsters within a radius of dozens of miles, as well as the five king-level monsters hidden in the shadows, were instantly killed by their heads exploding.

"Speaker Lu, it's Speaker Lu!"

Seeing the high-level lord Vajra Ape he had restrained explode and die, a white warrior was stunned for a moment, then saw Lu Jin standing in mid-air and couldn't help but shout.

Like a stone thrown into a still pond, news of Lu Jin's arrival quickly spread throughout all the martial artists guarding the Los Angeles base city via the communication system.

"Long live Speaker Lu!"

The Grim Reaper of the King-level monsters has arrived! The free and democratic people are saved! The warriors and soldiers who survived the ordeal cheered.

However, at this moment, Lu Jin had already flown around the entire Los Angeles base city, sweeping away the King-level monsters within a radius of tens of kilometers around the base city walls, and was heading to the next base city.

North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Central Asia, and South Asia.

With a cruising speed of hundreds of Mach, the triangular light cone can instantly kill any king-level monster.

After traveling to various locations, in less than half an hour, Lu Jin killed the four king-level monsters lurking around the New Delhi base city in India, and the beast tide crisis in major base cities around the world was resolved.

Throughout the rescue operation, Lu Jin killed over 20,000 lord-level monsters in the beast tide and over 200 king-level monsters lurking around the major base cities.

It must be said that, in terms of quantity rather than quality, the number of King-level monsters and Lord-level monsters completely surpasses that of human councilors and war gods.

Moreover, the number of over two hundred King-level monsters is far from the total number of King-level monsters in the world.

When the Golden Horned Beast ravaged the world, there was a time when more than 900 king-level monsters appeared in a single day.

Even after deducting the King-level monsters killed by humans in the 'Battle of the Devouring Beast' and further deducting his kill record, there are still at least several hundred King-level monsters remaining in the world.

Therefore, after slaying the four King-level monsters outside the New Delhi base in India, Lu Jin began a global cleanup campaign. He didn't aim to completely eliminate the King-level monsters, but at least to prevent them from causing any further trouble.

As Lu Jin embarked on his global cleanup journey, major media outlets around the world began to sing praises of the great achievements of the great Speaker Lu.

To turn the tide and save the collapsing edifice is a true reflection of Lu Jin's situation today.

On this day, Lu Jin's name became known all over the world, and his reputation was no less than that of Luo Feng, the hero who perished together with the evil Devouring Beast.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Arctic Ocean.

With beast tides sweeping the globe, such a massive commotion naturally caught Babata's attention.

'In times without heroes, even a nobody can rise to fame.'

Babata's complaining echoed in Luo Feng's mind.

The master, Hu Yanbo, was a great and immortal marquis in his lifetime, and the arrogant Babata looked down on Lu Jin, who was born into the Earth's natives.

Especially after it sent an explanation on behalf of Luo Feng, this guy actually blocked its newly created contact number.

It's just that the great Lord Babata is now in dire straits; otherwise, he would have already hung up these Earth natives and whipped them severely.

'Babata, you can't say that, or you'll be the one getting beaten up later.'

Luo Feng, who was practicing a secret technique, spoke to Babata in a serious tone.

Since Lu Jin came to his door last time, Luo Feng has changed locations, moving from the Pacific Ocean to the Arctic Ocean.

Based on Lu Jin's growth rate, Luo Feng felt that even if he possessed the body of the noble Golden Horned Beast, he might not be able to defeat this distant cousin in the future.

If Lu Jin heard these words, Babata, who has no physical body, wouldn't get beaten up, but he would probably get a severe beating.

'Hmph, you're a born evil brat!'

He had intended to say "Earth natives," but considering that Luo Feng was also one, Babata changed his words to "little devil."

Luo Feng: "."

Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it. I'll continue to work hard on cultivating "The True Self and the Universe" and "Absolute Space" so that my distant cousin doesn't really catch up with me.

'How about we send these evil Earth natives a barrage of spam text messages 24/7?'

Babata thought to himself with a wicked glint in his eye.

Given its ability to harass people online, it's absolutely impossible to block it unless Lu Jin stays away from the internet altogether.

Tsk~, never mind, Lord Babata is kind-hearted after all.

These wicked Earth natives have extraordinary opportunities. If they really take off one day, Lord Babata will be someone we can't afford to offend.

As night fell, Lu Jin, who had swept across seven continents and four oceans, returned to the Jiangnan base city.

More than three hundred more king-level monsters died under the Radiant Cone.

In addition to the kills, there were also spoils of war.

It wasn't the corpse of a King-level monster—he no longer cared about that—but rather the loot dropped after killing a King-level monster.

Although king-level monsters are no different from ants in his eyes, he is still at the planetary level.

Even if you kill a low-level planetary monster at the peak of the ninth planetary rank, there is still a chance of obtaining dropped items, but the probability is relatively low.

Even if there are factors related to influence, such as increasing the drop rate of certain items, the same principle still applies.

More than 500 king-level monsters dropped one critical hit and nine normal drops, contributing 103 planetary-level life essences to him, excluding monster materials.

Including previous stockpiles, there are nearly two hundred bottles of planetary-level life essence in the external storage space.

In other words, he lacked sufficient cultivation resources for apprentice level cultivators; otherwise, he could have created nearly two hundred planetary-level councilors, or two councilors at the eighth and seventh planetary levels respectively.
