A massive Blue Whale glided slowly through the waters, with no natural enemies within thousands of miles, allowing this largest marine creature on Earth to live in utter tranquility. As it passed by an island, seven intense beams of light shot out from the land, sweeping across the sky and landing on the Blue Whale. Sensing something was amiss, the whale attempted to break free, but the power of those seven divine lights was astonishing. They effortlessly lifted the several-ton behemoth into the air.
On the island, White Whale Born was joking with a few Golden Consorts when a strong aura enveloped him, extending seven beams to bind the Blue Whale. He found it somewhat challenging. However, spurred on by the tall, beautiful, and cold Golden Consorts, White Whale Born had to maintain an appearance of ease.
As he struggled to lift the Blue Whale from the water, cheers erupted around him, making White Whale Born feel elated. The seal placed by Future Seer had long been broken, but White Whale Born was not yet ready to leave. After Jinshi Yi had driven Fang Lin Kong away, he fell back into slumber. White Whale Born feared that if he left this protector behind, he would be hunted down by Darsin King and would be powerless to defend himself. The last battle had made him realize that increasing his strength was not something that could be achieved overnight.
The Golden Consorts certainly did not dare to leave either; out of fear of Darsin King, they had begun to subtly tempt White Whale Born over these days. Beauty was indeed a powerful weapon, but White Whale Born felt somewhat unresponsive to their advances until he figured out how to deal with Darsin King. "If I teamed up with Fang Lin Kong, I wouldn't fear Darsin King or his two later helpers. But Jinshi Yi is very unreliable..."
With a flushed face, White Whale Born finally slammed the ocean giant onto the island. Yet his mind was occupied with other thoughts.
Since they were not leaving this island, they needed ways to pass the time. The game of hunting whales had become one of White Whale Born's training exercises. It helped him connect with the techniques of manipulating divine light. As the Blue Whale landed on the beach, several Golden Consorts rushed over and placed their delicate hands on its smooth skin, beginning to infuse it with golden spiritual energy.
Most of these Golden Consorts did not know how to fly; even those who could rely on spiritual power lacked the ability to cross the sea. There were no yachts or ferries available, and there weren't enough coconut trees for making canoes either. To leave this place, they still needed some tools. Aifei came up with an idea: capture some large sea beasts that they could tame for crossing the ocean.
Under the infusion of golden spiritual energy, the brain region of the Blue Whale gradually opened up. Feelings of closeness towards these beautiful women radiating a faint golden light were imprinted deep within its soul. After successfully taming the Blue Whale, more than thirty Golden Consorts worked together to push this gigantic sea creature back into the water. With a leisurely flick of its tail, the Blue Whale slowly descended into the nearby depths. Over these days, White Whale Born had already tamed three enormous sea beasts alongside the Golden Consorts, including another Sperm Whale and a gigantic Sea Serpent.
Aifei wiped her forehead where fine beads of sweat had formed and said to White Whale Born, "If we capture three more sea beasts of this size, we can leave this lonely island. But when will your friend sleeping at the bottom of the sea wake up? Darsin King is not a magnanimous person; I'm afraid he will come after us again."
White Whale Born patted his pants pocket and chuckled, "Without help, Darsin King might not be able to defeat me. However, I also lack the ability to protect you once combat begins. But with wars breaking out everywhere on Earth lately, someone might soon come looking for that fool. Fang Lin Kong is no ordinary character; even that cosmic deity race couldn't handle him. Let's wait a bit longer and see how things turn out between Jinshi Yi and Fang Lin Kong before making any plans. After all, we're not in a hurry."
Aifei smiled brightly and said, "Right now I'm more concerned about our situation; we've been stuck on this island for so long without clean clothes or enough fresh water for bathing—it's quite inconvenient. I just hope we can resolve these troubles quickly so we can return to the mainland."
White Whale Born waved his hand dismissively and drifted off into thought elsewhere.
In the most powerful country in the world, there are still desolate, uninhabited areas. At an abandoned military base in the United States, the bustling scene was even more intense than when a division was stationed there. Zhou Qingzhe and Zhang Rongying were anxiously sifting through the information sent by their subordinates. They were distracted in several places, each of which was crucial and could not be overlooked. In the ongoing battle with the Demon Hunting Team, tens of thousands of monsters had already been lost. Although the International Demon Alliance had begun to withdraw its defenses, sending most of the weaker women and children into Gou Li World, the combat personnel were still insufficiently equipped. Zhou Qingzhe had long lost the demeanor of a monster tycoon; on his way here, he had been besieged by a dozen experts from the Demon Hunting Team. Although he had unleashed his ferocity and carved a bloody path before the main force of the Demon Hunting Team arrived, he had also sustained serious injuries, suffering internal damage from a suicide attack by several dying experts from the team.
Zhang Rongying slightly closed his eyes. Holding down the fort here was more exhausting than Zhou Qingzhe commanding their subordinates to counterattack the Demon Hunting Team. As Zhou Qingzhe enjoyed treatment from a healing device, he said to Zhang Rongying, "Old buddy, our research is nearing practical application. The results from several tests are just as we imagined. The genes from the Divine Charm Clan can indeed integrate perfectly into Earth’s biological systems."
Only then did Zhang Rongying respond, saying, "The five Celestial Enchantresses have regained their powers and, under my persuasion, joined our International Demon Alliance. Although the Demon Hunting Team has colluded with True Flame Sect, including the missing Arlen Xuding Si, the former leader of the Demon Hunting Team who has stepped down, as well as Darsin King and Camberto, along with five Divine Extremity experts from the East, we now have some strength to retaliate. That Liexiezi is quite unreliable."
Zhou Qingzhe sneered coldly and said, "Our enemies are not limited to this. Yuan Qian Kun must have returned; otherwise, Banma in Africa wouldn't be so certain about negotiating conditions with the Demon Hunting Team alone. Recently, the Demon Hunting Team has shifted its focus of battle to our stronghold; the situation in Asia has become much more intense than in Africa."
Zhang Rongying opened his eyes fully, his expression cold and devoid of emotion as he calmly said, "Have you decided to bring that thing out?"
Zhou Qingzhe laughed coldly and replied, "That thing will be needed sooner or later; we can't afford to hesitate even if it’s extremely dangerous. If we don’t fight back now, we’ll eventually be finished."
Zhang Rongying pondered thoughtfully about something while Zhou Qingzhe slapped him hard on the shoulder and said, "Old buddy, I know you've been troubled your whole life for not being able to advance to Divine Extremity and unwilling to rely on external forces to step into Divine Realm. But given the current urgency, put aside your pride as a warrior and take a gamble with me!"
Zhang Rongying forced a smile and said, "In terms of talent, I really fall short; otherwise, I wouldn’t have made no progress in so many years. But using that thing—who knows what consequences it might bring? Old Zhou, shouldn’t you clarify what happens next?"
Zhou Qingzhe cursed back at him: "You always speak so ominously! I've already made arrangements; if anything happens to me, pass on the International Demon Alliance to Ice King. He’s Yuan Qian Kun's confidant and will definitely be able to contact that Old Monkey immediately. Liexiezi isn’t keen on power; even if I hand over the International Demon Alliance to him, I doubt he would be too enthusiastic about maintaining it. Otherwise, having a Divine Extremity expert backing us would certainly be better."
Zhang Rongying took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Bring that thing over here!"
Several technicians from the International Demon Alliance immediately brought a strange device in front of them. Zhou Qingzhe forced a smile before his expression hardened as he said, "I'll go first; Old Zhang, you protect me. If anything goes wrong, you should run to Ice King’s side; this is already our last trump card."
Zhang Rongying grunted in response and said: "I won’t live under someone else’s roof like that; don’t talk about such gloomy things."
Zhou Qingzhe glanced at his old partner, who had been by his side for thousands of years, and let out a hearty laugh as he stepped into the peculiar device. This strange object was neither a magical artifact nor entirely a technological product. Even Zhou Qingzhe and Zhang Rongying were unaware of its exact origins. Back when Zhou Qingzhe and Zhang Rongying had not yet joined the International Demon Alliance, they stumbled upon this device during their travels around the world. Its primary function was to modify the human body, and Zhou Qingzhe referred to it as the Astrolabe. However, repeated experiments had shown that while the results of the modifications were remarkable, the side effects were also quite significant.
The device itself contained no energy; it required an external power source to operate. Moreover, the more templates that were inputted during the calibration process, and the stronger those templates were, the more formidable the resulting modified body would be. In theory, it could create an infinitely powerful being.
As Zhou Qingzhe was secured within the Astrolabe, Zhang Rongying's hands flew over the calibration panel, inputting genetic templates from the Divine Charm Clan and all the information on powerful beings collected by the International Demon Alliance, waiting for the Astrolabe to calculate the final modified form.
The equipment of the International Demon Alliance was advanced, drawing energy from a small nuclear power station located in an abandoned military base. This energy was then converted into approximately sixty percent pure spiritual energy. Once connected to the power source, the Astrolabe operated at speeds comparable to the latest supercomputers. After half an hour, it had analyzed the optimal DNA template and calculated six ideal modified forms. The simulated data appeared on the screen, and Zhang Rongying asked, "Which one do you choose, Old Zhou?"
Zhou Qingzhe glanced at them and chuckled bitterly, "They're all just three-headed six-armed creatures or nine-headed eight-tailed beasts; I'll just go with the first template."
Zhang Rongying pressed a button, injecting modification energy into Zhou Qingzhe. Despite being a powerful demon with profound skills and cultivation, Zhou Qingzhe felt his muscles swell and his skin stretch under the overwhelming surge of energy. If someone with lesser cultivation had undergone this process, they would likely have been reduced to dust by now; even so, Zhou Qingzhe struggled to endure.
Once activated, as Zhou Qingzhe's body expanded, so did the Astrolabe... Suddenly! A pair of dark membranous wings erupted from his back. Zhang Rongying was startled as he adjusted his settings for this unexpected development. But what surprised him even more was that Zhou Qingzhe's form grew larger still, sprouting seven sharp black horns from his head. Even Zhang Rongying could feel his old friend's surging demonic power rising like tidal waves.
"Something seems off... The first form looks quite different from Old Zhou..." Before Zhang Rongying could voice his doubts, Zhou Qingzhe let out another roar as four pairs of membranous wings unfurled from his back. "Is this... the Ten-Winged Evil King?" Just as Zhang Rongying pondered this question, the Astrolabe emitted a sharp alarm. He hurried to disengage safety protocols but it was too late. With a thunderous explosion, Zhou Qingzhe's overwhelming demonic power shattered the Astrolabe as he soared into the sky like a rocket.
A seemingly ordinary man watching from afar expressed mild surprise as he observed Zhou Qingzhe ascend: "I never expected Earth to be so bizarre. Even remnants of the Cuban Life Transformer exist here. Shouldn't this have perished along with those Cubans long ago?"
The man kept his gaze fixed on Zhou Qingzhe until he vanished into the sky before suppressing his urge to intervene. Nearby stood a heavily modified Hummer vehicle; its original owner was currently planted headfirst into the ground. However, they were in a dry and barren land where such seeds would struggle to thrive; come springtime next year, it seemed unlikely that this Hummer's original owner would yield any fruitful harvest.
After disregarding life so casually, this ordinary man leisurely climbed into the Hummer. Yet he appeared completely clueless about operating it; with a wave of his hand, a green glow swept over it, causing it to speed away uncontrollably. Although land vehicles have theoretical speed limits, under this man's command, the Hummer achieved speeds akin to magnetic levitation. If any government officials saw this spectacle, they wouldn't waste resources importing high-speed trains from Japan—manufacturing cars was far cheaper than building high-speed railways.
"The technology on Earth is truly primitive; such a rudimentary land vehicle doesn't even have a propulsion system..." Jinshi Yi thought disdainfully. Although his energy had not yet recovered fully, he no longer needed to remain in that underwater location. Besides, despite considering himself formidable, he feared that Fang Lin Kong might summon powerful figures like Yuan Qian Kun or Shi Qingyuan. Given Jinshi Yi's current state, he would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage. Thus, he chose not to greet White Whale Born and quietly departed instead.
The Hummer, once well-maintained, had become unrecognizable in the hands of Jinshi Yi. As speed increased, the steel body began to soften, and with a strange force infusing it, the vehicle continuously absorbed the dirt and gravel from the ground, rapidly expanding in size. By the time the first small town came into view, this Hummer was beyond recognition, even to its designer.
The reinforced vehicle gleamed with a dark luster, towering over ten meters high and resembling a deep-sea Strange Fish, exuding a unique charm. Its exterior was adorned with countless sharp spikes that reminded one of the tentacles of some deep-sea creature. The original four tires could no longer support such a massive form; instead, it was equipped with eight turbojet engines that shot out orange flames, lifting it a meter off the ground.
In this American town, the residents were no strangers to unusual sights. From a distance, they spotted Jinshi Yi driving his modified Hummer, causing an immediate stir. A young woman walking her dog let out a piercing scream, while several brave citizens pulled out their legally owned firearms, ready to defend their homes. However, most rational individuals, witnessing Jinshi Yi's alien invasion-like presence, chose the wisest course of action—fleeing.
It must be said that America truly lived up to its reputation as a country with a GDP ten times that of China. The mass exodus from this small town quickly gathered enough vehicles and gasoline. After Jinshi Yi disembarked from his mode of transport, what he saw resembled the caravans of cowboys from the old West, kicking up clouds of dust as they departed.
Shrugging his shoulders, Jinshi Yi was unsure of Earth customs and thought these people might be celebrating some local festival. He stepped into the town and looked around but only found a few abandoned cats and dogs left by their owners. He had intended to disguise himself as a local resident to explore Earth’s customs and traditions. Now that this simple wish had fallen through, he felt somewhat at a loss.
To Jinshi Yi, it seemed quite ordinary to create a metallic beast for transportation on any planet. Bestowing new life upon inanimate materials was a fundamental ability of the Zhen Dan Divine Clan; he believed he had been rather low-key about it—at least he hadn’t created an ancient metallic dragon. To his surprise, the humans on Earth showed no signs of astonishment; not a single person approached to observe him. Jinshi Yi had initially planned to sell this modified Hummer as a metallic beast to humans in exchange for local currency to make his first fortune.
Wandering casually down the streets of the town, Jinshi Yi felt deeply moved by his arrival on this planet. As one of the most wandering deities in the universe, he hadn’t experienced such solid ground in quite some time. Even when passing through desolate cosmic meteors, there was an absence of human touch. A faint sound caught his attention as he pondered; opening his eyes, he peered through two two-story villa walls and saw a blonde little girl trembling in a corner while holding her beloved cat. The girl kept encouraging her kitten softly. "Don’t make a sound! We mustn’t let that bad man hear us here..."
In an instant, Jinshi Yi vanished from sight with a flash of divine light. When the blonde girl looked up and saw him, she screamed in surprise and forgot everything else. Regaining her composure, she covered her mouth with her small hand and nodded repeatedly while whispering, "Mister! I’m sorry; I was just so surprised to see you! We need to run quickly; otherwise, that alien monster will hear my voice and come after us."
A soft little hand grabbed Jinshi Yi's arm while she held her cat tightly with her other hand and hurried toward the woods outside the town.
Jinshi Yi glanced at himself; having concealed his protective divine light, he appeared just like an ordinary person. The little girl clearly mistook him for a resident of this town. However, her cat sensed some danger and emitted soft whimpers but instinctively curled closer into her embrace.
"My name is Juli! Everyone forgot about me when they left just now. Only Old Mi stayed with me; I’m really scared!" The girl's self-talk piqued Jinshi Yi's interest as he casually asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Juli turned back and smiled like a delicate flower blooming by the roadside. "I’m not afraid of monsters! Really! I’m just afraid everyone will forget about me… Ever since my parents died, no one here wants to pay attention to me!"
Jinshi Yi paused for a moment, coming to a halt. Juli tugged at him but couldn't move him. Just as he turned back in confusion, a loud laugh rang out, followed by a commanding voice: "So, you little beast are still alive. Last time when I slaughtered your parents, you slipped through my fingers. This time, you can't escape." A man dressed in a silver suit stepped out from the trees, prominently displaying an emblem of a spear crossed with a cross.
Jinshi Yi calmly asked, "Who goes there?"
The man had long, elegant eyebrows and a strikingly handsome appearance, his Western European heritage giving him fair skin and a tall stature. However, his aggressive aura was something that Jinshi Yi found unpleasant.
"I am Van Bixsin of the Demon Hunting Team's Dragon Slayer Knights! This girl is a descendant of demons and is within my jurisdiction to eliminate. If you know what’s good for you, leave quickly."
Jinshi Yi had already analyzed the classification of species on Earth and knew that the little girl Juli was not a pure human. Although they had just met, it would be embarrassing for someone from the Zhen Dan Divine Clan to be intimidated by an unknown dragon slayer knight. Therefore, Jinshi Yi snorted coldly, his eyes shining with divine light. Van Bixsin's tall form was struck as if by an invisible hammer, sending him flying dozens of meters away and crashing into several large trees.
Van Bixsin had sensed earlier that Jinshi Yi harbored hidden power; he had seen Jinshi Yi descend from the metallic beast. However, his pride as a high-ranking member of the Demon Hunting Team made him reluctant to back down. In fact, he hadn’t thought much of Juli; during his last mission, he had killed her parents but intentionally spared this girl who was mostly human. He had come specifically for Jinshi Yi this time. Yet he did not expect Jinshi Yi to be so formidable; with just one move, before he could even retaliate, he found himself in such a dire situation.
Channeling his Holy Power, Van Bixsin radiated a faint white glow around him. Even in daylight, it was strong enough to be noticeable. Juli suddenly recalled the terrifying meeting buried deep in her memory and screamed as she took off running—only to crash into Jinshi Yi's arms. After years of solitary wandering, Jinshi Yi felt an unusual sensation at that moment and gently patted Juli's back before swiftly unleashing a sharp ring of light that sliced Van Bixsin in half as he charged forward.
"Monster!"
With that exclamation, four men dressed similarly to Van Bixsin soared into the air. They were warriors of the Demon Hunting Team's Dragon Slayer Knights who had worked alongside Van Bixsin for many years. They hadn’t been able to intervene when Jinshi Yi attacked. Seeing their long-time comrade fall filled them with righteous anger as they brandished their standard knightly weapons—the Dragon Slayer Lances. Pure Holy Power surged through them as four beams of holy light shot toward Jinshi Yi like dragons.
Jinshi Yi was preoccupied with how to comfort Juli and paid no attention to the fierce attacks from the four dragon slayers. An invisible force field erupted around him, causing their assault to inexplicably collapse mid-air. Their Holy Power surged uncontrollably within them, reaching peaks they could never have imagined. Before they could even approach Jinshi Yi, they exploded in mid-air one by one. Juli watched in astonishment as these ruthless killers who had murdered her parents were obliterated before her eyes, filling her small heart with disbelief.
Jinshi Yi scooped up Juli and placed her on his shoulder as he floated back toward the metallic beast, leaving behind only the shattered remnants of four Dragon Slayer Lances scattered on the ground.
