Swallowing the Stars: Only in my later years did I come to the life-spending panel.

A deep purple domain instantly unfolded, covering a radius of five kilometers around him.

The terrifying pressure emanating from the fifth level of the domain caused the Azure Dragon of the East Sea to freeze for a moment. In that instant of hesitation, Zhou Mu appeared above its head, and twelve scarlet blades of the Thousand Mountains Blood flew out simultaneously!

"River of Blood!"

The twelve blades spun at high speed, frantically tearing and killing at the wound on the spine of the Azure Dragon of the East Sea.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, scales shattered, and the wound was torn into a huge bloody hole!

"roar!!!!"

The Azure Dragon of the East Sea let out a mournful roar, its massive body convulsing violently.

It finally realized that the human in front of it was different from those other useless people.

He really can kill it!

Fear, long forgotten, surged into my heart.

It turned and fled, desperately diving into the deep sea.

It wanted to escape, just like it had escaped the pursuit of the human with the knife before, by diving into the deep sea and shaking off this terrifying human.

But that terrifying domain suppressed it, causing its speed to drop drastically, making it impossible to shake off the human's pursuit!

What made the dragon even more desperate was that even without the suppression of the domain, the human was still much faster than it!

Zhou Mu chased after the Azure Dragon of the East Sea, slaughtering his way through the ocean.

The blood of a thousand mountains left one hideous wound after another on the Azure Dragon's body, and the Chasing Spear pierced through its hard scales time and time again.

The Azure Dragon of the East Sea went from anger to shock, then to fear and finally to despair.

It desperately dodged and commanded the sea monsters to stop this madman, but the sea monsters were as fragile as paper in front of him and collapsed at the first blow.

This madman chased it from the surface of the sea to the deep sea, and then back to the surface, pursuing it for thousands of kilometers, killing almost all of its sea creatures along with it.

It didn't know how long it had held out, and it desperately fled in the direction away from that human.

In the distance, a long coastline and a majestic war base came into view.

......

Eastern Theater Command, War Base No. 001.

At three o'clock in the morning, the command center was brightly lit.

"Beep beep beep beep—"

A sharp alarm suddenly sounded. A soldier stared at the screen in front of him, his voice trembling: "Report! High-energy reactions detected in the East China Sea! Two! Both at... level 10!"

The command center erupted in chaos.

"Level 10?! Two beings surpassing even the God of War?!"

"They're heading towards the base! Less than a thousand kilometers away! Estimated arrival time: 2 minutes!"

"Activate Level One Combat Readiness! All personnel to combat positions!"

The piercing battle alarm blared throughout the base, jolting countless soldiers awake from their sleep and sending them rushing to their posts.

The energy cannon began charging, and the shield generator was at full power.

The door to the command post was suddenly pushed open, and a tall figure strode in.

It was Li Dawei, the commander of the Southeast Military Region of Jiangnan Base City.

"What's going on?"

"Reporting, Commander! Two Level 10 high-energy reactions detected. System data indicates one is the Azure Dragon of the East Sea! The other... the other energy reaction is even stronger, but it resembles human energy fluctuations!"

Li Dawei frowned and strode to the observation window. His powerful eyesight, typical of a War God-level martial artist, allowed him to see clearly:

Where the sea meets the sky, a deep purple bolt of lightning is rapidly approaching.

Before the lightning, a massive black shadow was cutting through the waves.

This ocean overlord, which once unleashed several beast tides, is now in a sorry state.

It was covered in blood, its scales shattered, and it roared as it fled.

Li Dawei's pupils suddenly contracted.

He clearly saw the figure within the lightning bolt: a figure in dark, close-fitting clothing, white hair, a long spear, and twelve scarlet blades swirling around it—

Zhou Mu?!

The legendary patriarch of the Zhou family in Jiangnan Base City!

He chased after the Azure Dragon of the East Sea, like a cat playing with a mouse, manipulating his psychic weapons to slash at the body of that king-level monster.

As a high-ranking military official in Jiangnan Base City, Li Dawei was naturally familiar with Zhou Mu. A few months ago, Zhou Mu publicly killed Tuoba Wu, a councilor of the War God Palace, causing a huge uproar among the high-ranking officials, but with the strong support of the two chairmen, Hong and Lei Shen, he was not punished at all.

Li Dawei followed this matter closely, so it left a very deep impression on him.

But now—

Zhou Mu is chasing after the Azure Dragon of the East Sea?! Chasing after that top-tier king-level monster that even Thor couldn't defeat?!

How is that possible!

"Commander!" a soldier beside him exclaimed, "That azure dragon is charging towards the base!"

Li Dawei suddenly snapped back to reality.

On the sea, the Azure Dragon of the East Sea seemed to have spotted the war base ahead, and a fierce glint flashed in its eyes.

It suddenly changed direction and charged straight toward the war base!

It will drag the entire war base down with it!

Li Dawei's expression changed drastically: "Damn it! All firepower—"

Before the words were finished, the deep purple lightning suddenly accelerated.

With a burst of sound at forty times the speed of sound, Zhou Mu's figure was like a real bolt of lightning, instantly bridging the distance between them and appearing above the head of the Azure Dragon of the East Sea.

"Trying to drag someone down with you?"

His voice was calm as still water, yet it carried a chilling undertone.

"Did you ask me?!"

With his right hand raised, the twelve blades of the Thousand Mountains Blood Sword flew out simultaneously, combining in the air to form a giant heavy sword ten meters long.

A thousand mountains, a single blade!

The heavy sword slashed down from the sky with the force of a thunderbolt, striking the neck of the Azure Dragon of the East Sea.

puff!

This sword strike severed the head of the Azure Dragon of the East Sea.

Blood gushed out, and before it could even let out a scream, its enormous head detached from its body and plummeted into the sea.

Whoosh!

The hundred-meter-long dragon corpse crashed into the sea, stirring up towering waves.

[Slayed a Planetary-level Tier 3 Azure Dragon of the East Sea, plundering its remaining 950 years of lifespan.]

Under the moonlight, he was covered in dragon blood, with lightning crackling around him, as if a god had descended to earth!

Inside War Base 001, tens of thousands of soldiers watched in stunned silence.

Li Dawei stood in front of the observation window of the command post, speechless for a long time.

He stared blankly at the figure hovering in mid-air, at the headless dragon corpse, at the gradually dissipating deep purple lightning, with only one thought remaining in his mind:

Is this even human...?

A few months ago, he had heard all sorts of rumors about Zhou Mu in Jiangnan Base City. Some people said he was impulsive and reckless, some said he was arrogant and ignorant, and some mocked him for being just a relative of the two chairmen.

But at this moment, all those discussions seem so ridiculous.

When someone becomes this powerful, rules and punishments are nothing more than footnotes to the strength of the powerful.

Zhou Mu hovered in mid-air, looking down at the headless dragon corpse, its dark blue scales gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

He suddenly remembered something.

The original intention was to leave the Azure Dragon of the East Sea with its corpse intact, to make it into a specimen and coil it around the main building of the Peak Training Camp, so that all students would see the corpse of this king-level monster as soon as they entered, and feel the pressure of a planetary-level powerhouse.

But......

Zhou Mu looked at the severed dragon head of the treasure, then at the hundred-meter-long dragon body covered in wounds, with few intact scales, and shook his head helplessly.

This azure dragon's defenses were indeed formidable. Lacking a secret attack technique that could kill with a single blow, he could only rely on the Thousand Mountains Blood to slowly whittle it down. As he wore it down, he got carried away, and by the time he came to his senses, the dragon had already transformed into this state.

Fortunately, the dragon head is still intact.

With a thought, Zhou Mu sent out twelve blades of the Thousand Mountains Blood sword, which scooped up the enormous dragon head and suspended it beside him. The dragon's body was also lifted by his mental power and slowly ascended into the air, heading towards War Base No. 001.
