Swallowing the Stars: The Birth of a Cosmic God King

The spaceship shook violently again, but this time, its engines shut down completely.

It hovered in space.

The entire spaceship was immobilized.

then.

The starry sky... has come alive!

No, to be more precise, it was a monster that emerged from the darkness!

Its size is only a hundred meters or so, which is considered small on a cosmic scale.

But that aura, that oppressive force originating from the depths of their bloodline that made all things submit, made Helian and Guli's souls tremble!

Its jet-black scales gleamed with a metallic sheen under the starlight.

On his forehead, a spiral-shaped golden horn seemed capable of piercing the stars.

A pair of golden vertical pupils stared coldly at the spaceship.

"Golden...Golden Horned Beast..."

Bone-throated voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, dry, trembling, and full of despair.

"Peak bloodline...one of the twelve peak bloodlines...reaching the realm lord upon adulthood...even immortal powerhouses rarely encounter such a thing..."

Why would I encounter a golden-horned behemoth in this remote universe? Why, why!

Gu Li couldn't continue speaking.

Because that golden-horned behemoth was swimming towards them.

No, it's not "swimming".

It is "arrival"!

In the vacuum, without any leverage or propulsion, it simply swayed its tail slightly, and its body, like a golden meteor, silently approached.

Every movement carried a suffocating sense of oppression.

Helian's hands were trembling.

But he gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down.

"wrong!"

His eyes widened suddenly. "Look at its aura... it's at the Stellar level! Not a Cosmic level powerhouse, just at the Stellar level!"

Gu Li was taken aback and quickly used the detection equipment to scan.

really.

Hengxing Level 1.

"If they truly possessed the ability to kill us, why would they bind us with the Cloud-Piercing Vine first? Wouldn't it have been simpler to just attack directly?"

Helian's voice grew faster and faster.

"What does this mean? It means that the other side is also wary!"

Even a first-tier Golden Horned Beast of the Eternal Star Realm has its limits! The two of us, one third-tier and the other second-tier, plus the firepower of our spaceship, are not without a fighting chance!

Gu Li's eyes lit up again.

"Yes...yes! No matter how powerful the Golden Horned Beast is, it can't possibly crush a third-tier being at the first tier of the Constant Star level! Even the pinnacle of cosmic bloodlines has its limits!"

"And those planetary-level slaves."

Helian quickly issued the order, "Send them all out as cannon fodder. Even if they can only hold off the Golden Horned Beast for a few seconds, it will be enough for us to launch a full-scale attack!"

"yes!"

Gu Li pressed the release button on the slave compartment.

Thirty-two peak ninth-tier planetary-level slaves poured out of the hatch at the bottom of the spaceship, forming a flesh-and-blood defensive line in space.

They included people of various races, including humans, aliens, and cyborgs, each exuding the aura of a planetary-level expert.

But in the face of the Golden Horned Beast, they were merely…

food!

The golden-horned behemoth didn't even slow down.

It opened its mouth, and a golden beam of light shot out from its horn, silently piercing the vacuum.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the slaves were vaporized into nothingness before they could even scream.

The flesh, bones, armor, weapons—everything was reduced to the most basic particles within the golden beam of light.

Thirty-two planetary-level peak ninth-tier beings.

One second.

All gone!

Gu Li's face was ashen.

Helian's pupils shrank to pinpoints.

"Fire! Fire!!"

The spaceship's four energy cannons roared simultaneously, sending four beams of light hurtling towards the golden-horned behemoth.

The golden-horned behemoth did not dodge.

A faint golden light appeared on its scales.

The Golden Horned Beast's innate defensive technique, though not yet fully mastered, is already sufficient to withstand attacks from ranks below the third level of the Eternal Star.

The energy beam struck the scales, exploding into dazzling orbs of light.

The light dissipated.

There wasn't even a scratch on the golden-horned behemoth's scales.

"impossible…"

Gu Li muttered to himself, his legs went weak, and he slumped down in front of the control panel.

The golden-horned behemoth had arrived in front of the spaceship.

It raised its right claw, and the golden light on its claw condensed into five sharp claw rays.

First claw.

The spaceship's shields shattered like paper!

Second claw.

A large hole was torn in the outer shell of the bridge, and the vacuum force frantically sucked out the air inside!

Helian and Guli were sucked out of the cabin and tumbled in the vacuum.

Helian exerted all his strength to steady himself, and his hands condensed into a ball of eerie green light.

The Mystic Heart Clan's Secret Technique: Soul Explosion!

Burning fragments of one's own soul to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

This is his last trump card.

"Go to hell!"

The ball of light shot towards the head of the golden-horned behemoth.

The golden-horned behemoth didn't even glance at the ball of light.

It opened its mouth and swallowed the ball of light whole.

Devour!

Not a single crumb was left!

Helian's pupils reflected the cold, golden vertical pupils of the golden-horned beast.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something—beg for mercy, threaten, or simply vent his fear.

But the Golden Horned Beast did not give him a chance.

The third claw.

The claws sliced ​​through Helian's body, tearing him, along with his fear, his ambition, and his resentment, into pieces.

Gu Li watched all this from the side, trembling all over, his tears and snot freezing into ice crystals in the vacuum.

"No...don't kill me...I can give you money...I can give you information...I can make you my slave..."

The golden-horned behemoth turned its head and glanced at him.

That glance contained no anger, no pity, not even any emotion; it was simply extreme indifference, the gaze of someone truly in a position of power!

It's like a human looking at an ant.

Fourth claw.

The sharp, guttural voice abruptly stopped.

Two wrecked bodies floated in the vacuum, then were casually swatted away by the golden-horned behemoth and disappeared into the endless darkness.

The battle lasted less than three minutes from start to finish.

The golden-horned behemoth retracted its claws, its golden vertical pupils scanning the entire battlefield.

After confirming there were no survivors, it opened its mouth and swallowed the wrecked spaceship whole into its internal space.

The wreckage of the spaceship was also made of metal, and although it wasn't of high quality, it was better than nothing.

The tendrils of the Moyun Vine loosened from the spaceship and retreated into the gaps in the scales of the Golden Horned Beast.

Everything returned to calm.

The starry sky remained dark, as if nothing had happened.

……

On the blue planet.

Yan Ning withdrew his consciousness and let out a long breath.

"A close call, but resolved smoothly!"

He looked up at the starry sky.

There, the golden-horned behemoth was silently swimming, making sure no fish had escaped its net.

"The Illusion Heart Clan... won't discover this place for now," Yan Ning muttered to himself, "but this isn't a long-term solution."

He needs greater strength.

We need a faster growth rate.

We need to empower the Blue Ocean to truly protect itself!

"Once I finish what I'm doing, I need to head to space as soon as possible," Yan Ning thought to himself. "Register for citizenship, buy the rights to Azure, build my own power... one step at a time."

......

"I'm gone."

Yan Ning stepped into the wind and snow.

Behind him, Yin Jiuyou's corpse was covered in ice and snow, turning into an ice sculpture.

In outer space, the golden-horned behemoth silently disappeared into the darkness.

The night sky is a deep blue, and the stars are still twinkling.

No one knows what kind of crisis this planet has experienced in the past half hour.

No one knew that a young man, with his fists, his golden-horned beast, and his decisiveness, had turned this crisis into nothingness.
