Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 68: The Golden Horned Beast Appears (Fourth Update, Ten Thousand Updates Completed)
The deaths of the Thunder Dragon King and the Octopus Beast King completely ignited the enthusiasm of people all over the world, and Wang Xiu was promoted as a hero of mankind by various countries.

It also officially established his position as the strongest person in the world.

In order to commend Wang Xiu's achievements, Huaxia is preparing to build a large manor for him on the banks of West Lake.

However, when people all over the world were celebrating Wang Xiu's feat, Wang Xiu brought his wife and daughter and quietly came to Hongning Base City to live there.

Hongning Base City is the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts School.

In order to prevent irrelevant people from disturbing Wang Xiu, Hong specially prepared a large Chinese-style manor for Wang Xiu.

In a pavilion in the manor, Wang Xiu and Hong sat opposite each other.

"Everyone outside is discussing your heroic deeds, but you are hiding here with me." Hong looked at Wang Xiu in front of him and shook his head and smiled, "I even gave you a place to stay."

"How is it, are you satisfied with this place?"

"Satisfied, couldn't be more satisfied." Wang Xiu replied with a smile, "According to this specification, in ancient times, this is a house that only a prince could live in."

"By the way, Brother Hong, I have now reached the second level of my state of mind, and I have some vague understanding of the field, but I always feel that I can't explain it clearly and it's not real." Wang Xiu said distressedly.

"I can't help you with this. You can only rely on yourself." Hong shook his head and said, "Sometimes I really doubt whether you are the reincarnation of an ancient sage."

"It took the second brother decades to reach his current level, but it only took you a little over a year to reach the same level as him and stand at the threshold of the field. It's incredible to think about it."

Wang Xiu smiled slightly and said nothing.

Although what Hong said was correct, what Wang Xiu wanted was not to improve his state of mind, he wanted to enter the realm of domain.

What’s the use of just improving your mood!

The state of mind can neither be used to fight against enemies nor to make oneself stand out in the universe.

Unless one reaches Hong's realm, and then breaks through to more than 20 floors in one breath when entering the Sea of ​​Illusion, one can achieve an achievement that will shock the high-level powerful people of the human race.

The key is that it is really difficult to reach the third level of the state of mind. In the 5,000 years of Chinese history, there are only a few records of people who have reached the third level of the state of mind.

There is only one person like Hong in modern times, which shows how difficult it is.

Wang Xiu knew that he was self-aware. Even if he had a high level of understanding in this area, it was impossible for his state of mind to improve significantly in a short period of time.

So I can only accumulate slowly as Hong said, and then wait for the right time.

When the time is right, the breakthrough will come naturally.

Just like in the original plot line, Thor successfully broke through and entered the realm when facing the crisis of the golden-horned beast.

Although it sounds unreliable, Wang Xiu has no other good solution besides this one.

Soon, the time came to December 2059.

Countless ordinary people in China began to prepare for the upcoming New Year's Day. Wang Xiu's family, far away in Hongning Base City, also began to prepare to welcome the first New Year's Day after Wang Letian was born.

……

2059年12月30日晚21：36分，地球，大西洋海域海底。

Cold and dark!
A mysterious monster with a body length of over 150 meters was chasing a king-level monster, a dragon turtle, which was over 300 meters long, in front of it like a cat playing with a mouse.

As a king-level monster, the Dragon Turtle is also the overlord within a radius of ten thousand miles. Since he became a king-level monster, he has only been so embarrassed when facing the Thunder Dragon King and the Octopus Beast King.

But now the Dragon Turtle felt the same thing in front of this strange monster that was much smaller than him.

No, the Dragon Turtle even felt that the monster chasing it from behind was even more terrifying than the Thunder Dragon King and the Octopus Beast King.

Over the years, what the Dragon Turtle is most proud of is its strong defensive ability.

However, the tortoise shell that he was so proud of could not withstand a slight hit from the opponent. Before the opponent even used any strength, he almost lost half his life.

Feeling his strength gradually being depleted, the dragon turtle felt extremely desperate.

The next moment, the dragon turtle felt a rush of water behind him. He subconsciously tried to hide, but found that he could no longer control his body. Then his eyes went black and he completely lost consciousness.

"Woo!"

The mysterious monster that was the instigator excitedly began to devour the dragon turtle whole.

……

Hongning Base City.

At this time, Wang Xiu had just finished dinner with Lin Nianzhen and her daughter.

"Ah Xiu, I'll take Tiantian to bed first." Looking at her daughter who was so sleepy that she kept yawning and rubbing her eyes, Lin Nianzhen picked up Wang Letian and walked towards the bedroom with real love.

Wang Xiu looked at the backs of the two people leaving, then walked to the window and looked towards the Pacific Ocean.

"By this time, if nothing unexpected happens, the golden-horned beast should have hatched, right?" Wang Xiu said to himself.

Wang Xiu had an impression of the time when the golden-horned beast hatched. The main reason was that the time was too special. It was the night before New Year's Day, so it was hard not to remember it.

However, although he knew that the golden-horned beast had been born, Wang Xiu did not inform Hong and the others in advance.

In the original storyline, the golden-horned beast first attacked a military base in the United States. Wang Xiu had no good impression of these white people since he had studied history in junior high school.

Wang Xiu doesn't care about the lives of these people.

A group of people whose ancestors made their fortune by plundering, are they worthy of talking about fairness and justice?
In Wang Xiu's opinion, they are the ones who have the least right to label themselves as fair and just.

In addition, if Wang Xiu really informed Hong and Lei Shen in advance, he would not have a reasonable reason.

You can't say that it was my ancestor who told me this in a dream.

The most important thing is that Wang Xiu now has enough confidence to deal with the star-level golden-horned beast. The resources on Earth are not enough to support the growth and breakthrough of the golden-horned beast, even if it is a breakthrough of a small realm.

Therefore, Wang Xiu was not worried that the golden-horned beast's strength would increase so rapidly after its birth that he would not be able to deal with it.

So all Wang Xiu had to do was wait quietly.

Wait for the golden-horned beast to jump out on its own, then deal with it.

Maybe with the pressure brought by the golden-horned beast, he or Thor could successfully break through to the realm.

However, what Wang Xiu didn't know was that the golden-horned beast had already been born at this time, and was even only one step away from breaking through to the stellar level.

When searching for the Thunder Dragon King and the Octopus Beast King, the reason why the Golden Horned Beast's life breath was not found was because the Golden Horned Beast was in a deep sleep at the time, and in order to protect its own instincts, it reduced its life breath to the lowest level. (This is nonsense, the original book does not say that the Golden Horned Beast has this ability, and there will be a corresponding explanation at the end of this chapter.)
……

On the evening of January 1, AD, in the former New York State of the United States of North America.

The original capital of the world, after experiencing the great nirvana era, directly became a paradise for monsters.

Because it is close to the Atlantic Ocean, this is also the first place where sea monsters land every time they attack the land.

To this end, America established a large military district not far from New York and built a war base in New York to prevent sea monsters from entering inland.

The war base, which is more than 500 meters long, looks like a ferocious monster entrenched on the river.

"Oh! Look, what is that!" Suddenly, a soldier's exclamation was heard in the quiet war base, and the other soldiers also looked in the direction of the sound.

"sky!"

"Oh, God!"

"King monster!"

Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded, echoing throughout the entire war base. The previously loose war base seemed to be wound up in an instant, and countless soldiers immediately began to stand in front of their posts, ready to start fighting!
In the afterglow of the setting sun, in front of the huge war base... a huge monster appeared!
This is a monster that is over 180 meters long and shaped like a "lion". Its body is covered with black scales as big as a house. The edge of each black scale is as sharp as a knife, making people feel cold.

A pair of wings covered with black scales that seemed to be made of steel and were two hundred meters wide, and a horn that seemed to pierce the sky!

The dark golden eyes were filled with ferocity, brutality and a strange calmness that made people shudder in their hearts.

"The king-level monster is in the air, seeking death!"

"Shoot it with laser cannon!"

"Dead."

Although many soldiers in the war base were terrified, they were still very confident. The laser cannon is the most powerful weapon of mankind!

call out!
call out!
call out!
Three white light beams, at terrifying light speed, directly hit the scales of this unknown monster wearing black and gold armor!
The beam of light dissipates!

The scales...are not damaged at all!!!
"Woo——" The low sound, like the low cry of gods, echoed in the boundless heaven and earth.

All the monsters in the ruined New York crouched in fear, which was an oppression from the soul.

All the soldiers in the entire war base were terrified to the extreme. The American generals in the command hall looked at the huge monster that filled most of the screen.

The monster's cold eyes were so cold!

"What kind of monster is it?"

"Even the laser cannon with the highest power can't do any harm?"

suddenly--

The monster opened its mouth!
"Roar!"

Boom!

The sky and the earth darkened, and in an instant the space around the monster's mouth distorted. The entire war base actually flew up and flew towards the mouth. The further it flew, the faster the war base shrank!
The war base, which was originally much larger than the monster's entire body, was shrunk to less than five meters in length and width. The soldiers in the war base, who were like ants, were terrified and screamed in fear.

Swallow it in one gulp! The monster shut its mouth!
The war base disappears!

……

In the Palace of War God, following the action of the United States of America, all congressmen from around the world and a small number of War Gods were summoned to the conference room on the top floor.

At this moment, looking at the mysterious monster in the video that was invincible and could not be harmed even by the highest-power laser cannon, everyone present had an unconcealable look of anxiety on their faces.

Even Hong and Lei Shen had serious expressions. They knew in their hearts that even the highest-powered laser cannons could not harm the armor in the slightest...

The strength of this mysterious monster far exceeds theirs.

"Wang Xiu, are you confident that you can handle it?" Hong and Lei Shen looked at Wang Xiu at the same time.

“Not now.” Wang Xiu shook his head in silence. “From the video footage, this should be a devouring space beast, and it is the most advanced golden-horned beast among all the devouring space beasts.”

"It can reach the stellar level shortly after birth. Judging from its size, this golden-horned beast should have just reached the stellar level not long ago."

"But even so, it's not something I can handle right now."

"The Golden Horned Beast is the most powerful of all the giant beasts in the sky. Even though it was born not long ago, it can still burst out with ten times the power of a human warrior of the same level without any power-generating skills."

"So to deal with this golden-horned beast, I must break through to the stellar level!"

　First of all, I have completed the 10,000 chapters I promised before.

　　Secondly, I want to talk about the time when the golden-horned beast was born. I remembered it wrong before. It was supposed to be born on December 2058, 31, but I remembered it as 2059. This caused a bug in the timeline. I can only make a patch like this to make it go away. If you really feel that the logic is not right, just think of it as being born at the end of December 59. This way, when you look at the previous hunting of the beast king, there will be no problem with the logic.

　　This was an oversight on my part, and I apologize to everyone here.
