Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 57 The Golden Horned Beast

Earth, above the endless ocean of the Pacific Ocean.

A jet-black, disc-shaped spaceship pierced through space and appeared here instantly.

The next second, the disc-shaped spaceship disappeared, and a black-haired youth wearing purplish-red armor appeared in the sky above the ocean.

"Babata, where is the target?"

Zhou Yang asked.

Not long ago, Babata detected a strange yet powerful life force in the Pacific Ocean using nanosensor robots previously deployed to the ocean.

Based on the timeline of the original story, Zhou Yang speculated that it was very likely that the golden-horned behemoth that he had been searching for for so long had appeared!

Without wasting a moment, he boarded the Heilongshan and arrived over the Pacific Ocean.

"The target is about 80 kilometers to the southeast. The life force is around the seventh or eighth level of the planetary level and is moving due south."

Babata responded quickly.

"Planetary level seven or eight? Looks like we discovered it in time!"

Zhou Yang was secretly delighted.

"Let's go take a look!"

Zhou Yang stepped onto the curved blade disc, and his speed instantly soared to its maximum.

In less than half a minute, he approached the target that Babata had sensed.

"Whoosh!"

His figure plunged directly into the surging seawater, propelled by his powerful mental energy, which propelled him to descend rapidly.

A moment later, a huge black shadow appeared in his senses.

As Zhou Yang drew closer, the full picture of the shadow gradually came into view.

It was a monster that was over 150 meters long and somewhat resembled a lion.

Its body is covered with dense black scales, each with a sharp, knife-like edge that sends chills down your spine.

A pair of enormous wings, seemingly cast in steel, spread out behind it, with a wingspan reaching a terrifying two hundred meters.

What's most eye-catching is the huge single horn on its head, seemingly poised to pierce the sky!

The enormous, jet-black horn was wrapped in rings of golden patterns. The intricate golden patterns spread from the horn to its neck, its entire back, and its tail, as if it were wearing a layer of gold and black armor.

Those enormous, dark golden pupils were wide open, brimming with extreme ferocity, coldness, and tyranny.

"My God, it's the Golden Horned Beast! Holy crap, I actually saw a living Golden Horned Beast!"

The moment he saw this enormous, ferocious beast, Babata's exclamation rang in Zhou Yang's mind!

"What's going on with Earth? Why are we encountering so many strange things lately?"

Inside the smart wristband, Babata, dressed as a child in black robes, was almost driven mad with excitement, his crimson eyes radiating a dazzling light.

"This golden-horned behemoth is only at the planetary level? Holy crap, Zhou Yang, you've struck gold! This is an incredible stroke of luck! Quick, hurry and catch that golden-horned behemoth!"

"It really is the Golden Horned Beast."

Upon hearing Babata's confirmation in his mind, Zhou Yang's face lit up with a joyful smile.

From the day he received the inheritance from Meteorite Star, he had Babata begin monitoring the life force of the entire ocean, trying to find the golden-horned behemoth that would cause a huge disaster to Earth as soon as possible.

Now, more than two years have passed, and finally, the golden-horned behemoth has appeared!

Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief upon sensing the life force emanating from the enormous beast below, which was clearly not yet at the Hengxing level.

"It's not too late!"

Just then, the golden-horned behemoth that was constantly swimming in the deep sea seemed to sense the gaze from above.

It quickly caught sight of the tiny figure approaching from above.

"Aww~~~"

The golden-horned behemoth opened its massive maw and roared angrily, the enormous sound waves spreading rapidly along the seawater.

"Whoosh!"

Its enormous body, exceeding 150 meters in length, nimbly changed direction in the seawater and charged directly towards Zhou Yang.

"Haha, Zhou Yang, this golden-horned behemoth has gone mad! It's charging straight at you!"

Babata's excited voice echoed in my mind.

"This golden-horned behemoth has a noble lineage and its strength far surpasses that of human martial artists of the same level. It probably doesn't take you seriously, but it's going to suffer a great loss this time."

"You don't take me seriously?"

Zhou Yang also smiled.

The next second, streaks of golden light shot out from the curved blade disc beneath their feet, then combined and transformed in front of them into a golden scimitar more than a meter long.

"Tch~"

The golden scimitar pierced through the endless seawater and shot towards the golden-horned behemoth!

"Ugh~"

The golden-horned beast raised its head and roared, and the golden runes on its black horn lit up in circles, turning the entire horn gold.

"clang!!!"

The golden scimitar, as swift as lightning, clashed with the golden horn, creating an invisible shockwave that violently churned the surrounding seawater.

"Waaah~"

Having blocked the attack, the golden-horned behemoth quickly opened its mouth, and a black vortex formed at its ferocious maw.

At the same time, Zhou Yang, who was directly in front of it, suddenly froze as a huge suction force descended upon him.

That force seemed to freeze the space around him, making it impossible for him to dodge.

Zhou Yang's body was involuntarily pulled by this enormous force, and he was quickly sent flying towards the abyss-like maw.

"Zhou Yang, be careful. This should be the Golden Horned Beast's innate secret technique, and it looks like it's a devouring type."

Babata's reminder echoed in Zhou Yang's mind.

"rest assured."

Zhou Yang showed no sign of panic. He seemed to have given up resisting, letting his body drift forward rapidly with the force.

However, just as his body was about to fall into the huge black vortex, strands of silver light, like electric snakes, quickly spread around him.

"Buzz!"

A silver domain, hundreds of meters in diameter, instantly opened up, blocking the mouth of the golden-horned behemoth.

The space within the silver domain seemed to fluctuate slightly, easily resisting the enormous suction force.

Zhou Yang stood in the silver domain, and no matter how much the golden-horned beast exerted its strength, his figure remained completely still.

"Awooo~~~"

A visible look of doubt rose in the giant golden-horned beast's enormous dark golden pupils.

"My turn!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Yang launched an attack instantly!

The vast amount of spiritual power in his mind quickly condensed into an invisible sword.

The second level of the Soul Imprint Secret Technique: Myriad Swords Soul Imprint!

"go!"

As Zhou Yang made a thought, the invisible sword shot out and instantly pierced into the giant head of the golden-horned beast.

"Aww~~~"

The moment the sword pierced its body, the golden-horned behemoth roared in agony, as if it were experiencing immense pain.

However, the golden-horned behemoth calmed down again after only a moment.

In Zhou Yang's perception, its life force did not seem to have weakened much.

"Hmm? It seems this is where the pronucleus was moved to!"

Zhou Yang's mind raced, and he quickly understood.

These golden-horned behemoths are different from ordinary flesh and blood creatures. Their life core is the primordial core that nurtures the world within their bodies. As long as the primordial core is intact, they will not die.

"Then let's be a little more violent!"

Zhou Yang raised his hand and pointed, and one after another, curved blades flew out, quickly combining in front of him to form a huge, constantly spinning flywheel.

"Buzz~"

The flywheel spun rapidly and shot out in an instant, with streaks of silver light constantly flowing across it, making its trajectory unpredictable.

"puff!"

The enormous flywheel, shrouded in silver light, was incomparably sharp and its speed was extremely fast.

The enormous golden-horned beast didn't even have time to react before its head, with its huge single horn, was severed off.

"Pfft pfft pfft pfft~"

The silver halo spiraled down again, and with each rotation, a piece of flesh and blood was thrown off the giant body of the Golden Horned Beast.

Head, wings, four hooves

Soon, the golden-horned behemoth was reduced to a bare skeleton.

"Found it!"

Zhou Yang's eyes lit up!

In the crevice of the left forepaw of the Golden Horned Beast, a transparent crystal sphere, about twenty centimeters in diameter and imprinted with intricate patterns, was quietly wedged there.

"Zhou Yang, that's the unique primordial core of the Golden Horned Beast clan, its life essence! Quickly, grab it!"

Babata quickly reminded him.

"Um."

Zhou Yang responded softly, and his powerful spiritual energy surged forth, transforming into a huge transparent dome that instantly enveloped the secret-patterned crystal sphere.

"Aww~~~"

A tremendous roar emanated from the primordial core, and a slightly shrunken golden-horned behemoth reappeared in Zhou Yang's sight.

"Moyun Vine, go!"

Zhou Yang remained expressionless as six enormous vines, as thick as water buckets, shot out from behind him and instantly wrapped around the golden-horned beast.
