Fallen Star Space ship.
"What now?" Babata frowned as he observed Hong struggling to finish off the Beast King.
At this moment, Babata was utterly bewildered. First came surprise and excitement, swiftly followed by a tinge of distress.
A star-level Spiritual Master is a genius. For a Planetary Level warrior like Hong to possess a domain made him a super-genius, fully qualified to join the ranks of the Fallen Star disciples.
Of course, as a pure warrior, Hong could not inherit the core legacy of the Fallen Star.
"Fortunately, the Master's immortal attendants weren't solely Spiritual Masters; there were warriors among them as well. The warrior heritage isn't lacking, though it's not the pinnacle either!"
"Furthermore, apart from Wei Wen, the humans on this planet are all rather peculiar."
"Their brain development capacity seems quite low. Take Hong, for instance—his capacity is considered mediocre in the wider universe. Yet, someone with such a capacity has comprehended a Domain."
"Then there's Wei Wen. His brain capacity isn't high either, but his behavior is even stranger than Hong's. He actually intends to fight the Beast King head-on?"
"Judging by his demeanor, he seems supremely confident. I can only say monsters keep emerging from Earth. Perhaps this planet isn't as simple as the master initially presumed."
"Regardless, in tens of thousands of years, I've only encountered geniuses like these. I must recruit them all!"
"After all, for the Fallen Star to restore its former glory, a single inheritor is insufficient. These monsters absolutely cannot be let go."
There might not be a complete set of warrior inheritance, but that wasn't a critical issue. The immortal attendant Hu Yanbo had left behind numerous warrior cultivation manuals.
Babata only needed to nurture them for a period, then construct a starship to enter the universe. With the foundation of the Fallen Star legacy, obtaining some powerful warrior techniques wouldn't be difficult.
"Huh?" Babata's eyes widened, and he drew a sharp breath. "The third stage of Domain comprehension? And two different Domains at that?!"
Earlier, he thought the disconnect between Earthlings' brain capacity and comprehension was odd. Now, Wei Wen had proven it once more.
He had only cultivated for a few months. With an exceptionally poor brain capacity, he had directly comprehended not one, but two Domains, both reaching the third stage. This was simply unbelievable.
…
Wei Wen was only at the third level of the Planet level. Like Mohammed and Atkin, who were also at the Planet level's third stage, they should have been utterly powerless against a Beast King-level monster.
"How confident are you?"
Although skeptical of Wei Wen's strength, Hong and Thunder God still held a sliver of hope.
After all, Wei Wen had already created one miracle. Perhaps he truly had been concealing a significant portion of his power.
"Ninety-eight percent." Wei Wen fell silent for a moment, leaving the final words unspoken.
With a single thought, Wei Wen's genetic energy, mental power, will, spirit, body, and even his consciousness merged into one, instantly erupting with a force far beyond anything they had witnessed before.
Seeing Wei Wen's transformation, Hong and Thunder God were stunned.
While Wei Wen didn't manifest a luminous field like Hong's, the intensity of his presence was comparable. If their guess was correct, this was indeed a Domain that transcended mere artistic conception.
"What is going on?"
Thunder God and Hong had sparred for half a lifetime. It took him decades, and Hong's guidance, to comprehend a Domain before the Golden Horned Beast crisis.
But Wei Wen seemed to have had no mentor. He had directly comprehended different Domains, and his power currently surpassed even Hong's!
The power within Wei Wen's body erupted, instantly permeating everything around him. Force existed everywhere!
Two different Domains intertwined like a pair of Tai Chi fish, chasing one another.
The surrounding heaven and earth seemed to spontaneously condense into a colossal flame while also forming vast, surging waves of water.
Everything within a hundred-meter radius was enveloped in this duality of water and fire. Wei Wen stood like a deity within this Domain. He pierced through the water and shot toward the lakebed.
This description seems lengthy, but in reality, Wei Wen activated the power within his body to form the Domain in an instant. Luo Feng and the others witnessed with their own eyes the endless water and boundless flames materialize from thin air, a sight that struck fear into their hearts.
Where the water passed… everything froze into ice sculptures; where the fire swept, everything shattered and burned.
With a mere thought, Wei Wen casually pointed toward the Tentacle Beast King.
Boom!!
Boom!!!
A fragment of Red Mixed Copper Mother transformed into a streak of light. Around it, a massive fire dragon and a colossal water dragon materialized out of thin air, containing terrifying destructive power as they charged directly toward the distant Beast King!
"Hum~~"
The Beast King, which had been hiding in its turtle shell with near impunity against Hong's attacks, suddenly froze upon witnessing Wei Wen's explosive assault.
The indescribably terrifying force instantly pierced through the turtle shell, shocking the Beast King's body.
The turtle shell could not withstand the Red Copper Mother fragment. No matter how tough the Beast King's scales were, they were powerless against the Red Copper Mother's might. All its internal organs, flesh, and blood were frenziedly shredded into mincemeat.
Luo Feng and the others gazed at the distant lake. The already turbulent waters suddenly exploded!
They saw tentacles erupting as if to pierce the heavens. Seven or eight tentacles burst from the water in an instant, dancing and thrashing wildly—no pattern, just a frenetic, pained explosion, a final death struggle.
"ROAR!!!" A piercing, sorrowful cry erupted from the depths, causing the entire earth to tremble slightly. Instantly, blood dyed the lake crimson.
"So ear-piercing."
Luo Feng and the others couldn't help but cover their ears, expressions grave.
Soon, the tentacles, once brimming with endless power, hung motionless in the void before falling limply back into the lake.
Two of the tentacles even landed in the shallow waters. Their immense weight struck the lake surface, instantly carving out two massive trenches that were swiftly refilled by the surrounding water.
"It's dead!"
"The Beast King was killed by Wei Wen?!"
Surrounded by the lake and hovering mid-air, the trio watched in shock as Wei Wen, clad in the Black God suit covering all but his head, emerged from the water.
Water droplets slid from the Black God suit as Wei Wen soared into the sky!
As he ascended, he dragged the Beast King's colossal corpse from the water.
Including each tentacle, the Beast King's body length exceeded three thousand meters.
The lifeless Beast King now appeared like a suspended island above the lake, its massive form seemingly blotting out the sky!
The tentacles, over 1,500 meters long and as thick as trains, crashed heavily to the ground, shaking the earth like a powerful earthquake.
The three of them stared in astonishment at Wei Wen, now floating above the mountain-like corpse of the Tentacle Beast.
Even with their composure as the two strongest humans on Earth, they were rendered speechless.
"Brother Hong, what kind of genius is this?" Thunder God asked Hong in a low voice.
"Who dares call him merely a genius?" Hong remarked with emotion, recalling Wei Wen from a few months ago—still weak, now having surpassed him.
In the eyes of Hong and Thunder God, Wei Wen was no longer just a genius; he was now arguably the strongest among humans on Earth!
What shocked them most was Wei Wen's ability to effortlessly shatter the Beast King's turtle shell. They had no idea how he had accomplished it.
The moment Luo Feng laid eyes on the massive, over-three-thousand-meter-long corpse of the Beast King, he felt as if his heart had stopped and his blood had frozen.
"So powerful."
He shook his head slightly, his gaze lifting to Wei Wen, clad in his Black God suit, hovering high in the sky.
Wei Wen was just one level above him, yet his performance was nothing short of incredible—his combat power was utterly exaggerated!
"According to what Hong and Thunder God said before, comprehending a Domain is considered Planetary Level invincibility. But I never imagined Wei Wen could kill an aquatic Beast King," Luo Feng thought, deeply shaken.
Hong was considered the pinnacle of invincibility on Earth at the planetary level, but that title only meant he was practically undefeated among peers of the same level. It didn't mean he could kill any opponent!
After all, in terms of realm and physical strength, the Beast Emperor far surpassed Hong, who was only at the sixth level of the planetary realm.
Moreover, the battle took place in the water—the Beast King's optimal environment. So, Hong's inability to kill it was perfectly normal.
If it weren't for Hong possessing a Domain, any other sixth-level Planetary Level warrior who came would likely have been slain outright. Yet Wei Wen, at merely the third level of the planetary realm, had killed the Beast King!
"A Domain... One day, I too will comprehend one and kill a Beast King with my own hands." Looking at the distant, god-like figure of Wei Wen, an endless desire surged within Luo Feng's heart.
"Why is everyone staring at me like that?" Wei Wen felt a bit awkward under their collective gaze.
"It's nothing..." The trio suppressed their inner shock, striving to sound calm and natural, yet the tremor in their voices was unmistakable.
"Wei Wen, you've killed the lake's Beast King, but there are still two in the ocean. Can you deal with them as well?" Thunder God asked urgently. "If we can eliminate them all, our future will be much smoother."
"It's not impossible to try, but it's a different matter. Killing those two Beast Kings now would still be quite difficult," Wei Wen replied with a slight shake of his head.
This lake's greatest depth was only three hundred meters. Although vast, it was troublesome for a three-thousand-meter-long Beast King to maneuver within it. Thus, the lake's depth clearly limited the Beast King's capabilities.
Coupled with the fact that it had only recently advanced to the Beast Emperor level and its physical efficiency was relatively low, Wei Wen could dispatch it with relative ease.
The two Beast Kings in the ocean, however, had reached the king level during the Great Nirvana period and had gradually grown into true Beast Emperors since then.
"No rush. Wei Wen's growth rate is far faster than those two. It's only a matter of time before he kills them," Hong said, a smile finally appearing on his face.

On the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Relic—Fallen Star Spaceship
"The third stage of water and fire... and even signs of merging the two!" Babata stared dumbfounded at the images on the screen.
"With Wei Wen's talent, if he appeared on any civilized planet that has made contact with the wider universe, any powerful being who discovered his aptitude would likely send immortal-level experts to recruit him as a disciple. And not just any immortals—the super-powered ones, stronger even than my master."
"But he was actually born on a backward indigenous planet like Earth... which means there's no inheritance here superior to that of the Fallen Star. It's just that this guy is a bit too cautious."
The difficulty of fusing laws far exceeds that of comprehending a single law, but the resulting power is also immensely greater.
Without even watching the battle's conclusion, Babata already knew the Beast King's fate. As expected, Wei Wen, at the Planetary Level third level, faced no difficulty slaughtering the Beast King with the power of the Red Copper Mother Fragments.
Indeed, the Wei Wen on the screen simply manipulated the Red Copper Mother fragments, and the Beast King seemed to be thrown into a meat grinder, utterly shredded. As for the Demon Cloud Vine, it was so terrified it didn't dare linger for a second.
Babata fell silent for a moment, then decided to release a Wood Essence Crystal to attract the four of them on a treasure hunt.
"Hmm? The scent of rice? Could it be—"
Suddenly, Luo Feng seemed to sense something and froze mid-turn.
He saw a white crystal, emanating a soft glow, quietly appearing on the water's surface hundreds of meters away.
"A Wood Essence Crystal! Did the battle between Wei Wen and the Beast King shake it loose from the soil?" Seeing the Stage of mud still clinging to the crystal's surface, Hong and Thunder God also came to the same realization.
The environment of this lake was clearly incapable of nurturing a Beast King. Its presence here had always been puzzling, but the existence of a Wood Essence Crystal made sense. This confirmed their earlier speculations.
"Good. With the Beast King threat gone, let's start searching separately. It depends on who has the better luck," Wei Wen said, looking at Luo Feng and the others.
The surface of Lake Kirishima spanned over a hundred miles in radius, vast by any measure. And the Beast King had been entrenched in the underground areas for about 3,500 years.
Treasures like the Wood Essence Crystals might still be buried in the mud, soil, and rock Stages at the lake bottom—the search area was enormous. Wei Wen's suggestion to split up was met with agreement from Luo Feng and the others.
Immediately, Luo Feng and the other two transformed into three streaks of light, speeding toward three different directions across the lake. This time, the three of them were solely responsible for excavating the Wood Essence Crystal bounty.
Splash!
With a sound, Luo Feng dove into the lake like a shooting star. Clad in SS-grade armor over his Black God suit, he was armed to the teeth.
"But how to find them?" Luo Feng felt a headache coming on. He didn't even know how many crystals there were; he could only search blindly.
"Fortunately, I'm a Spiritual Master. My spiritual power can spread out within a two-hundred-meter radius. Begin the scan!"
His thought power swept through the surroundings, and its scanning effect was far superior to any of Earth's high-tech radars.
From the moment Luo Feng discovered the first crystal, he entered a state of exhilaration. Each Wood Essence Crystal represented a potential Planetary Level powerhouse!
But on this Kirishima Island, within just half an hour, he had found ten crystals. This suggested the total number might far exceed his initial imagination. He had previously thought finding even one such treasure in a day would be a blessing—it seemed he had grossly underestimated.
Half an Hour Later...
"Wei Wen, I never expected to find ten crystals so quickly this time!" Luo Feng contacted Wei Wen via his communicator.
"Oh? It seems bringing you along was the right decision. It took me quite a while just to find one," Wei Wen replied, shaking his head slightly.
He hadn't actually found fewer crystals; he hadn't been searching for them at all. But Babata had still placed a Wood Essence Crystal directly in his path, seemingly to lure him toward the site of the previous No. 9 Ancient Civilization Relic.
"Only one?" Luo Feng found it strange but didn't dwell on it. After all, he knew Wei Wen already possessed many crystals—the number he had given Luo Feng before exceeded ten.
Sensing Luo Feng continuously burrowing deeper underground, Wei Wen knew his subconscious might have been influenced by the telepathic waves emanating from the Fallen Star relic. Now that Babata had begun guiding Luo Feng, it confirmed that Luo Feng would become the inheritor of the Fallen Star legacy.
Once Luo Feng completed the inheritance, Wei Wen would be able to gain relevant insights in return.
