Chapter 57: Fierce Battle
The golden-horned behemoth opened its massive maw, unleashing a terrifying suction force. Gravity, magnetic fields, light… everything around it utterly distorted in that instant. The light was forcibly twisted and pulled by the terrifying gravitational field, forming bizarre, dim yellow halos around the edge of the black hole.
The seawater beneath their feet, freed from the constraints of gravity, surged upwards, converging into a terrifying waterspout that connected heaven and earth, continuously pouring into the abyss-like maw of the golden-horned beast.
Flood and Thor are at the very center of this gravitational storm.
"How dare you!" Thor roared. The lightning domain around him suddenly erupted, transforming into a purple lightning inferno, with countless violent lightning bolts intertwining into a giant net to meet the terrifying suction force.
At the same time, he pushed the genetic energy of the Hengxing level within his body to its limit. A layer of visible energy ripples appeared on the surface of his combat suit, and countless thick electric snakes danced wildly around him, trying to forcibly create a space of their own within this gravity-formed cage.
However, this cosmic behemoth was, after all, one of the most powerful predators in the universe, possessing an incomparably domineering innate secret technique inherited in its bloodline. The electric grid was directly swallowed up, and even the lightning domain only lasted for less than half a second. As soon as it came into contact with the devouring vortex, it began to twist violently. The lightning attached to the domain was peeled off and absorbed layer by layer, emitting a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound.
Thor's body was uncontrollably pulled toward that giant mouth.
Unlike Thor's disheveled state, Hong did not rush to retaliate.
He stood in mid-air, his gaze calmly fixed on the ferocious beast. Unlike Thor, the sixth layer of his light domain was not released over a large area. Instead, it was precisely placed within a range of less than half a meter around his body, forming a pure black sphere.
The terrifying gravity from the outside world, powerful enough to distort space, was completely swallowed up and dissolved once it touched this absolute darkness, without causing the slightest ripple.
Hong glanced at Thor, who was about to collapse beside him, and slowly raised the black spear in his hand.
With a simple thrust of the spear, the power of the entire beam of light was compressed into the spear tip.
A flash of white light appeared on the tip of the spear, like the first ray of dawn tearing through the darkness.
This point of white light pierced directly through the chaotic and disordered gravitational field in front of them.
The incomparably powerful vortex of devouring energy was actually torn open by this single shot, creating a straight passage several meters wide! At the edge of the passage, the distorted space emitted a piercing friction sound and sparks flew out.
"Keep up!"
Hong's deep voice clearly reached Thor's ears.
Upon seeing this, Thor immediately and without hesitation contracted his domain, transforming into a purple streak of light and closely following behind Hong.
Following the straight passage torn open by the spear, the two transformed into two blurry afterimages. Just before the terrifying gravitational field closed again, they escaped the range of the Devouring Secret Technique without serious injury and hovered in mid-air dozens of kilometers away.
When the golden-horned behemoth saw that its two tiny prey had managed to break free from its prized innate technique, a look of astonishment, almost human, flashed in its dark golden vertical pupils.
Immediately afterwards, that astonishment turned into boundless rage.
Its massive body shuddered suddenly, ceasing its devouring. The pair of dark golden wings on its back, covered in mysterious runes, flapped gently.
"boom--!"
A massive sonic boom exploded behind it, and its enormous body smashed through the air as it charged straight toward the two of them!
The battle has completely degenerated into the most primal physical clashes.
In the blink of an eye, the golden-horned behemoth traversed tens of kilometers of sea.
The enormous right claw, covered in intricate golden runes, descended from the sky with terrifying pressure, striking down directly at Hong and the Thunder God.
The airflow was compressed to an extreme degree by this enormous force, turning into an invisible wall of pressure. Before it even landed, it slammed hard into the sea surface, instantly creating a huge crater hundreds of meters deep in the water.
Faced with this devastating blow, Thor advanced instead of retreating.
"Well done!"
A fierce fighting spirit erupted in his eyes. He laughed loudly and gripped the purplish-black battle blade tightly with both hands. At this moment, he pushed the power of the Ninefold Thunder Blade to its limit, and the genetic energy within his body layered up and poured into the battle blade without reservation.
A purple lightning blade, hundreds of meters long, shot into the sky, precisely meeting the descending giant claw.
"when--!"
A deafening clang of metal clashing echoed across the entire Pacific Ocean.
Mars was ejected in all directions.
Thor's all-out attack struck the golden-horned behemoth's dark golden scales, leaving only a faint white mark.
A terrifying recoil force traveled from the hilt of the sword to Thor's arms.
His tiger's mouth split open instantly, and the blood evaporated in the high temperature before it could even splatter.
He was thrown backward, his blood and qi churning.
Hong knew the Golden Horned Beast's absolute advantage in strength, so he didn't confront it head-on. The moment the giant claws fell, his body silently slid to the side of the Golden Horned Beast, brushing against the edge of the claw's wind.
The spear in his hand transformed into countless black afterimages, thrusting out hundreds of times in a single second.
Every shot was aimed precisely at the seams of the behemoth's neck scales, cunning and ruthless.
However, the Golden Horned Beast's defense was flawless. Its scales, combined with the innate runes of its laws, formed a layer of constantly flowing, faint golden light just as Hong's spear tip was about to pierce through. Hong's power, capable of piercing mountains, was weakened and dispersed layer by layer by this golden light, ultimately only managing to create a series of ear-piercing friction sounds and sparks on the scales.
Enraged by Hong's attack, the golden-horned behemoth twisted its thick neck, and its tail, hundreds of meters long, swept towards Hong's position with a deafening roar, forcing him back.
As a member of the Starry Sky Beast race, the Golden Horned Beast possesses an extremely vast energy reserve and an unbelievable regenerative ability. Even if the two of them manage to leave a minor, painless wound on it, it will completely heal within a few breaths.
As the battle dragged on, Hong and Thor found themselves in increasingly perilous situations.
The Golden Horned Beast not only fights on instinct, but its ancient fighting techniques, inherited from the depths of its bloodline, are gradually awakening.
During the entanglement, when Thor charged forward, attempting to use his agility to circle around to its belly and launch an attack, the golden-horned behemoth's wings suddenly folded in a bizarre manner. The edges of its massive fleshy wings resembled two incredibly sharp battle blades, slashing fiercely towards Thor's inevitable path!
"Bang!"
Thor raised his sword to block, but the overwhelming force still passed right through him.
He let out a muffled groan and crashed into the deep sea like a cannonball.
A massive whirlpool, spanning a kilometer in diameter, instantly exploded on the sea surface, with a faint hint of dark red mixed in with the white waves.
Hong's eyes narrowed.
If they continue like this, they will undoubtedly be defeated.
To change the course of the battle, we must completely break through its defenses and create a fatal weakness!
Hong hovered in the air, slowly retracting his defensive stance, and poured all of his genetic energy into his spear.
The spear, which was originally pitch black, now emitted an extremely refined spear light from its tip.
Hong gripped his spear and charged straight at the head of the golden-horned beast.
Seeing that this weak insect dared to charge head-on, the golden-horned behemoth's eyes flashed with obvious mockery. It suddenly opened its massive maw, and deep within its throat, a ball of pure, golden light began to condense wildly.
It wants to completely erase this human being along with the surrounding space!
Just as that destructive golden light was about to burst forth, Hong's figure suddenly vanished.
Hong utilized the mysteries of light to completely distort the refraction of light over extremely short distances, achieving true visual invisibility.
The golden-horned behemoth was clearly unprepared for this turn of events, and its movement to gather its killing move faltered for a moment.
It was this moment that froze!
Hong's figure appeared directly above and to the right of the Golden Horned Beast's eyeball.
"break!"
Hong roared, his voice drowning out the raging winds on the sea. He and his weapon became one, transforming into a black aurora with unstoppable force, slamming into the seemingly fragile, enormous eyeball of the golden-horned beast.
Sensing the threat, the golden-horned behemoth twisted its head frantically and instinctively closed its thick, dark golden eyelids.
"Pfft—!"
A dull tearing sound rang out.
The gun's edge, compressed to its limit, was just a fraction faster, piercing deep into the eyelid before it could fully close!
A stream of scalding dark golden blood shot into the sky!
"roar--!!!"
The golden-horned behemoth let out its most piercing and painful howl since its birth.
The excruciating pain drove this cosmic behemoth completely mad.
It swung its massive head wildly, its enormous body tumbling aimlessly in the sky, its violent primal energy scattering haphazardly in all directions.
Hong was thrown into the air by the giant beast's struggle, tumbling more than a dozen times before finally regaining his balance, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
However, a cold smile of triumph appeared on Hong's face.
The Golden Horned Beast, engulfed in a frenzy, stretched its massive body out completely in the air. At that very moment, sixteen thick black vines suddenly emerged from Hong's body, instantly wrapping around the Golden Horned Beast's body and limbs!
Seeing this from a distance, Luo Feng knew his opportunity had arrived.
"Luo Feng! Fire!"
Hong's furious roar came through the communication watch on his wrist at just the right moment.
The moment Hong's voice rang out, Luo Feng did not hesitate and pressed the launch command on the virtual screen in front of him.
"boom--!"
The B6-class laser cannon installed beneath the Extreme Martial Arts Hall suddenly erupted with the most dazzling light! This energy instantly locked onto the golden horned behemoth on the Pacific Ocean through the Dome of Light's weapon system.
A white beam of light, powerful enough to annihilate a sixth-level star, instantly traversed the boundless sea and precisely struck the golden-horned behemoth that was temporarily bound by vines!
