Chapter 28: A God Descends to Earth
At the bottom of the lake, Hong calmly watched the tentacles of the Tentacle Beast King attack. His hand holding the spear sank, gathering all the immense power of the Hengxing star within him into the tip of the spear. He aimed at one of the tentacles he had just torn open and, in the most direct and savage way, blasted it head-on!
"Thump!"
A dull, resounding boom, which could not travel through the seawater but seemed to strike the very depths of everyone's soul, exploded out!
Luo Feng stared intently at the holographic screen, at the golden dot representing Hong and the massive red energy source representing the Beast King. Just now, the energy branch connecting the red main body trembled violently after colliding with the golden dot, and then... was forcibly severed in the middle by an irresistible and terrifying force.
"Boom—"
The entire wilderness trembled violently, and many staff members lost their footing and fell to the ground.
Thor dodged the flying debris and stared intently at the water below.
On the distant lakeshore, a tentacle over twenty meters in diameter and over a kilometer long crashed down from the sky, carving a deep trench in the ground. Soil and gravel were hurled high into the air. The half-twitching tentacle emitted a strong, pungent stench.
"My God... those are the tentacles of the Beast King!"
A member of parliament from the European Union was pale and his voice was trembling.
No one could answer him.
Everyone present was stunned by what they saw. They had thought Hong was strong, but they hadn't imagined he was this strong.
Pure physical force, a single blow severing a limb.
Thor stared at the screen, then at the view outside the window, his clenched fists sweating profusely.
He muttered to himself.
"Madman... Big Brother is a madman, his power has increased again."
Luo Feng's Adam's apple bobbed, and his heart pounded.
Is this the power of a star-level expert?
From the depths of the lake, the Tentacle Beast King let out a silent, agonizing roar. Its remaining tentacles, along with the two thicker arms hidden beneath its body, thrashed wildly at the same time, stirring up the undercurrents of the lake and creating a massive whirlpool that seemed intent on tearing the tiny human apart.
However, right at the center of this raging vortex, Hong's eyes gradually turned cold.
"That's enough for the warm-up."
The next moment, a will erupted from his body.
A deep darkness instantly engulfed the surrounding waters for thousands of meters.
In the instant darkness descended, everything changed. The raging undercurrents calmed, and the rapidly lashing tentacles slowed their movements. Even the terrified water monsters that had been fleeing were frozen in the water.
The fourth realm, open.
For the first time, the Beast King's vast consciousness felt an emotion called fear. It discovered that its proud power was suppressed by more than 70% in this dark world. It possessed immense power, yet it was completely unable to effectively unleash it.
At the same time, dozens of dark golden vines shot out from behind Hong.
It was the long-dormant Demon Cloud Vine.
With the enhancement of the domain, these vines moved at extreme speed, ignoring the resistance of the seawater, and precisely pierced into the wounds that Hong Gang had just torn open with his spear.
These vines are like living venomous snakes, their sharp thorns easily tearing through flesh and blood, taking deep root inside the Beast King's body.
The Tentacle Beast King let out a painful roar, but was firmly imprisoned in place by the Demon Cloud Vine and could not move.
"Warning: Signal lost in target area. All underwater detectors are out of service."
Inside the makeshift command post on the shore, the screams of the technicians made everyone's hearts leap into their throats.
On the holographic screen, the once clear underwater image turned into a distorted, snowy mess. Only the central energy monitoring system was still barely functioning.
Everyone saw that the enormous red energy source representing the Beast King was shrouded in darkness. And within that darkness, a tiny golden point of light was flashing and moving rapidly within the red energy source at an incredible frequency.
"What is the curator doing?"
"I don't know. The domain completely isolates us from detection. But... look."
A technician pointed to the energy readings, his voice trembling.
"The Beast King's life energy... is rapidly decreasing at a rate of 5% per second."
Within his domain, Hong was the ruler. His figure moved seamlessly through space, and every thrust of his spear struck a vital point.
"puff."
The bullet pierced the nerve center at the base of one of the beast king's tentacles, and the tentacle instantly went limp.
Immediately afterwards, another shot detonated an energy node on the side of its body, and the violent energy surged back, blasting a huge hole in its body.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and green blood almost stained the entire space.
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...
When Hong finally hovered directly above the giant head of the tentacle beast king, this once invincible beast king had become a tattered bag riddled with holes.
He slowly raised the spear in his hand.
At the tip of the spear, all the light collapsed inward, condensing into a point deeper than the night. That point held terrifying power.
He looked down at the huge eyes below that had lost their luster and were filled only with fear.
"Die."
As Hong Ping's calm voice echoed within the domain, the spear pierced through the Beast King's head from top to bottom without any obstruction. The terrifying power contained within it erupted the moment it entered the beast's brain.
A muffled thud.
The Beast King's enormous brain tissue, along with its newly formed and unstable energy core, was instantly pulverized into dust.
On the command post screen, the massive red energy source representing the Beast King flickered violently a few times before its light dimmed at a visible speed and then went out. The Beast King's life energy intensity also dropped to zero.
The lake gradually returned to calm.
The darkness that had enveloped the lake receded silently. The lake water turned a dark green, and bits of flesh floated on its surface.
A moment later.
On the calm lake surface, ripples spread gently.
Hong's figure, with his hands behind his back, slowly rose from the water and reappeared in everyone's sight.
Beneath him, countless dark golden demonic cloud vines intertwined to form a giant net, dragging the beast king's corpse, which was over three thousand meters long, slowly, bit by bit, to the surface of the water.
High in the sky, whether it was Thor, a ninth-tier planetary-level being, the arrogant Luo Feng, or the people from various base cities around the world...
Everyone stared blankly at the figure that looked like a god descending to earth, their minds completely blank.
for a long time.
Thor finally let out a long breath, and a smile that looked more like a grimace appeared on his face.
"My older brother... he's a monster."
Luo Feng didn't speak. He just stared intently at Hong's figure and the huge beast king's corpse, his fighting spirit soaring like never before.
"Has the gym leader always been this strong?"
