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

Le En Bu Leng says: Read this book!

Two years later.

Pacific Ocean Deep.

The Thunder Dragon Emperor was fleeing frantically, its thousand-meter-long body carving out a white torrent in the deep sea with each swing.

After three days and three nights of fleeing for its life, it was covered in wounds, with large patches of scales rolled up, revealing the flesh beneath. Its speed was much slower than in its prime, and each swipe of its tail felt like dragging a heavy iron chain.

Behind him, the dark golden shadow followed at a leisurely pace, sometimes close and sometimes far away.

Even without turning around, the Thunder Dragon Emperor could clearly hear the sound of it cutting through the water, sharp and rapid, like a knife cutting through cloth, causing its scales to burst open.

Thunder Dragon Emperor knew that the monster was playing with it, deliberately not chasing it, deliberately not biting it to death, just like a cat teasing a mouse that couldn't escape.

Sometimes that thing would suddenly accelerate, sweeping over its head, the surge of water it created would flip the Thunder Dragon King over, tear its scales with a claw, and then retreat to the side, enjoying its pained expression.

The Thunder Dragon King's back, abdomen, and tail were covered in wounds, some of which had scabbed over, while others were still bleeding, turning the seawater behind him into a long red ribbon.

It had lost count of how many days it had been, fleeing from the central Pacific to the edge of the East China Sea, and then from the East China Sea to the South China Sea, circling most of the globe. The thing behind it seemed to be enjoying the chase, enjoying its fear and despair.

The sound of water being cut came closer again, and without turning around, it knew what the creature looked like:

It is over a hundred meters long and covered with black scales the size of a house. The edges of each scale are as sharp as a knife, making people feel cold. Its strong hooves and claws are covered with scales that look like a pair of huge wings forged from steel. The black horn that pierces the sky is wrapped with golden patterns that spread from the horn to the neck, back and tail.

And those vertical pupils, gleaming with a cold, golden light, were icy and merciless.

Cold and brutal!

When I first saw this thing, it was only a few meters long.

That night, a golden streak of light streaked across the sky, trailing a long, fiery tail, and crashed into the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

When Lei Longhuang arrived, the sea was still churning, creating giant waves tens of meters high.

It dived to the seabed and discovered a giant egg lying there. The egg was over ten meters long, dark gold in color, and covered with mysterious patterns. It emitted energy fluctuations that made its heart tremble.

Lei Longhuang remembered that his master had instructed him before going into seclusion to pay close attention to any unusual occurrences in the ocean and to promptly inform him through the soul link.

But it thought that its master was in seclusion and it couldn't disturb him, for fear of ruining his important plans. Besides, how could the little guy in the egg, which had just been hatched, be stronger than it?

So they stayed there and waited, and after a few days, the eggshell cracked.

A tiny, dark creature emerged from inside. As soon as it opened its eyes, it began to devour the eggshell. Its body began to expand at a visible speed, growing to over thirty meters in just a few minutes.

Lei Longhuang stepped forward, wanting to communicate with it and ask what it was.

But the little guy opened his mouth and shot out a beam of energy, which struck the Thunder Dragon Emperor.

The pain instantly enraged the Thunder Dragon Emperor.

The Thunder Dragon Emperor unleashed a thunderous breath, blasting the little creature away. It crashed into the seabed rocks, shattering several of its scales. Dark golden blood seeped from its wounds, and it lay on the ground, unable to even stand.

Thunder Dragon Emperor swam over, preparing to deliver the final blow.

The little creature raised its head, staring at the Thunder Dragon Emperor with no fear in its eyes, only cold hatred. Then, golden runes lit up its body, and it transformed into a streak of light, escaping from the Thunder Dragon Emperor's claws at an unbelievable speed.

It chased it for a while but couldn't catch it, so it stopped paying attention to the little thing.

A newborn baby, with such severe injuries, is in danger of not surviving.

But it was wrong.

The little thing began to devour the monsters in the ocean.

From the Pacific to the Atlantic, the sea monsters, which had been cleaned up by their master, once again faced annihilation, with countless beast-soldier level monsters becoming their food.

It grows incredibly fast, reaching ten meters, then tens of meters in just a few days, and exceeding one hundred meters in three months.

Thunder Dragon Emperor had tried to find it in person, but every time that guy saw it, it would turn into a golden light and flee until it suddenly came to his door three days ago.

In that battle, Thunder Dragon Emperor suffered a crushing defeat.

This golden-horned monster's scales were abnormally hard; its thunderous breath could only leave a few white marks, while its claws could easily tear through its scales.

From then on, it was all about running away, constantly running away.

The golden-horned monster wasn't in a hurry to kill it. Like a cat playing with a mouse, it chased and stopped, occasionally pouncing and swinging its scaled claws, watching it scream and bleed...

Lei Longhuang felt a bitter taste in his mouth when he thought about this.

It should obediently listen to its owner and proactively report any abnormalities to its owner.

"Master... help me..." Thunder Dragon Emperor sent a message to Zhou Mu through the soul link, but there was no response.

If you don't leave the pass soon, your little dragon will die under the claws of this golden-horned monster!

The black and gold shadow behind them accelerated again.

Thunder Dragon King felt a sharp pain in its tail as a large piece of flesh was torn apart, the wound so deep that bone was visible.

It let out a miserable cry and swung its tail, but the creature had already retreated, putting the flesh and blood between its scales and claws into its mouth, as if it were savoring something delicious.

It circled around the Thunder Dragon Emperor, its thick, powerful tail whipping fiercely at the Thunder Dragon Emperor's side.

The cracking sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard underwater. The Thunder Dragon King's body was flung away by the immense force and crashed onto the seabed, causing it to convulse in pain.

The churning mud and sand blurred his vision, and the Thunder Dragon Emperor collapsed on the seabed, as if he didn't even have the strength to get up.

The golden-horned monster looked at it, seemingly having lost interest in toying with it.

The ferocious head lowered and opened its mouth. At the same time, the surrounding space began to distort slightly, and a terrifying suction force came from the giant mouth. The Thunder Dragon Emperor's body began to slide uncontrollably toward the giant mouth.

At that moment, the soul imprint deep within Thunder Dragon Emperor's mind began to heat up. It could sense the other end of the imprint approaching at an extremely fast speed!

"Owner!"

"The master has arrived!"

Exhausted and on its last legs, the Thunder Dragon Emperor was like a traveler who had found water in the desert. It squeezed out its last bit of strength, forcibly broke free from the golden-horned monster's sucking force, and desperately fled towards the sea.

A streak of deep purple lightning streaked across the sky at an unbelievable speed. One second it was on the horizon, and the next it was already in the sea.

Lightning exploded on the sea surface, splitting the endless seawater in two, causing the sea surface within a radius of a hundred meters to cave in, forming a huge bowl-shaped cavity.

Lei Longhuang felt his body lighten, and the oppressive feeling behind him disappeared instantly. The golden-horned monster that was chasing him was blasted away by the lightning and tumbled more than a dozen times on the sea, splashing water everywhere.

The lightning dissipated.

A figure stood proudly in the void.

White hair, black clothes.

Beneath my feet was the surging seawater, and behind me stretched a clear blue sky.
