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

"Yes, so what?"

The entire room fell silent.

Zhou Mu's gaze swept across the entire room, his voice calm yet undeniably authoritative:

"My fists are bigger than yours. If you're not happy about it, then just keep quiet."

Inside the council chamber, you could hear a pin drop.

Hall and Wilson stared blankly, unable to utter a single word.

They had prepared their accusations for so long, their words so impassioned, and they had so many allies who echoed their sentiments...

In front of this person, everything becomes a joke.

Because he's right.

He has the biggest fist, so he is the rule.

The two looked pleadingly at Hong and Thor, who were seated in the main seats, hoping that the strongest man on Earth would support them.

"Well said."

Hong let out a soft laugh and gently clapped his hands.

.......

Just then, Zhou Mu suddenly spoke again.

"However, I'm not here today to argue with you about these things."

(Please remember 1219.m.k.com for the fastest chapter updates.)

His voice regained its calmness. "I'm here to announce something."

All eyes in the room once again focused on Zhou Mu.

Zhou Mu stood with his hands behind his back, his white hair moving without any wind.

"I will completely eliminate the monster threat in the ocean in a week."

"The ocean will become humanity's domain."

These words caused an uproar in the room!

"What? Solve the monster scourge?"

"The ocean is the stronghold of monsters; not only are there two beast kings, but also billions of monsters!"

"Yes! Not only is the density of monsters in the ocean several times higher than on land, but the level of monsters is also much higher!"

"Zhou Mu has gone mad?!"

Those councilors who had been silent just moments before could no longer contain themselves, and their discussions surged forth like a tidal wave.

"Zhou Mu, do you know what you're saying?"

Wilson finally regained his voice, "The ocean isn't just home to the Thunder Dragon King you've subdued; there's also an Eight-Clawed Beast King and hundreds of king-level monsters! You think you can handle them all by yourself? What a joke!"

Hall sneered, "That's utterly delusional! Even the First and Second Speakers couldn't defeat the Beast King in a short time, let alone you? You think you can wipe out the monster scourge within a week?!"

The discussion grew louder, and most of the councilors looked skeptical.

"This is insane!"

"The First Speaker finally achieved a balance with the monster, and he actually wants to disrupt it!"

Even Hong frowned slightly at this moment.

He looked at Zhou Mu, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Thor went straight to the point: "Big brother, are you serious? A sea monster..."

Zhou Mu offered no explanation and got up to walk towards the conference hall door.

As he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said without turning his head:

"Coordinates: 35°41′N, 139°46′E. You are all welcome to come and watch the match in one week."

As he finished speaking, his faint voice slowly dissipated.

The council chamber was deathly silent.

Hong and Thor exchanged a glance, both seeing complex emotions in each other's eyes.

"Let's go." Hong stood up. "To Kirishima."

Thor nodded, and the two phantoms vanished.

......

As the light in the virtual space faded, Zhou Mu, Hong, and Lei Shen opened their eyes almost simultaneously.

Kirishima, located on an island reef.

The moonlight remained cold and desolate, and the sea breeze carried a faint salty tang.

The three of them still held their consciousness-sensing helmets in their hands, and Babata's phantom hovered on Zhou Mu's shoulder, blinking as it watched this scene.

Thor was the first to remove his helmet, suddenly stood up, his body crackling with lightning, and stared intently at Zhou Mu.

"Big brother! Let's have a fight!"

Zhou Mu raised an eyebrow. "So eager?"

Thor chuckled, and with a flick of his right hand, a silver battle blade appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The blade is long and narrow, with fine serrations on the back and faint lightning flashes on the edge. It is a second-tier Force weapon that he obtained from the ruins of an ancient civilization.

"I've been itching to use my hands for ages, only able to talk in virtual space." Thor gripped his battle sword. "Perfect timing to test my newfound strength and see just how big the gap is between me and my brother!"

As Zhou Mu watched Thor assume the starting stance of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, a hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

Ninefold Thunder Knife......

He was very familiar with this set of attack techniques. Back when he was stuck at the peak of the God of War and could not make any progress, he absorbed the strengths of many schools and studied the attack methods created by Hong and Lei Shen. Although he could not compare with the two founders, he was still very clear about the power exertion techniques of these two attack methods.

"bring it on."

Zhou Mu stood with his hands behind his back.

Thor's eyes lit up, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant!

The next second, he appeared behind Zhou Mu, his battle blade carrying the power of thunder, and slashed down!

The blade flashed like light, tearing through the night sky!

Zhou Mu didn't turn his head, but simply turned slightly to the side. The knife grazed the hem of his clothes and struck the reef behind him.

boom!!

The massive reef shattered instantly, turning into countless particles that flew everywhere.

Thor's first strike missed, but he remained calm and turned around, bringing his second strike in quick succession!

The blade's edge flashed one after another, continuous and powerful, each strike faster and heavier than the last!

Silver lightning wove a dense, impenetrable net across the night sky, enveloping Zhou Mu within it.

Zhou Mu moved his feet lightly, his figure dodging like a ghost, barely avoiding Thor's blade each time.

His movements were unhurried, as if he were not dodging an attack, but strolling leisurely.

Thor grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed.

With the Ninefold Thunder Blade unleashing seven times the power, his speed reached its limit, approaching twenty times the speed of sound!

Zhou Mu's dodges looked effortless, as if he could predict the landing point of each of his strikes.

"Big brother, your speed..." Thor couldn't help but ask.

"Forty times the speed of sound. And I'm too familiar with your Ninefold Thunder Blade; I know the timing of its power and the direction of its strike like the back of my hand."

Zhou Mu spoke with a smile.

Thor's lips twitched.

Forty times the speed of sound?

He took a deep breath, and lightning suddenly surged around him, an invisible force spreading out from his body!

field!

A silver lightning field instantly unfolded, covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters in radius.

Within the domain, lightning danced, the air solidified, and everything seemed to sink into an invisible quagmire.

Zhou Mu's figure paused slightly, and his speed decreased sharply.

Thor's eyes lit up, and he stood up, unleashing a full-force slash with his battle sword!

This strike gathered all his power, its blade light dazzling and brilliant, as if it could cleave the heavens and the earth in two!

Just as the blade touched Zhou Mu—

Zhou Mu smiled.

"A domain? I have that too."

A deep purple light burst forth!

Wherever the light passed, Thor's silver domain was torn and compressed like thin paper, shrinking rapidly from a hundred-meter range to only an inch around his body.

Thor froze on the spot, unable to move.

His battle blade stopped less than three inches from Zhou Mu, unable to advance even an inch further. The oppressive force emanating from the domain was tangible, making it hard for him to breathe.

Zhou Mu slowly raised his right hand, and a spear appeared out of thin air in his hand, the tip of which was pressed against Thor's throat.

Thor's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

"This...this...the gap between these fields is so vast!"

Zhou Mu said calmly, "Thor, your lightning domain is only in its rudimentary form, while I have already comprehended the lightning domain to the seventh level."
