My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 599: Chapter 367: Dark Moon God-Slaying, Divine-Tier Spirit Pet, Interstellar Colonization Begins

It was a Tier Thirty-Eight Eclipsed Moon Star Remains Beast, but it wasn’t just any ordinary one. It was the king of its species: the Dark Abyss Star-Eating Dragon King!

Chaos Energy surged within the Dark Universe. The colossal beast, its body covered in flowing Star Spiral Patterns, let out a roar powerful enough to shatter a Meteorite Belt. Its five to six hundred-kilometer-long frame was sheathed in light-devouring Black Crystal Scale Armor. The 108 barbs along its spine were connected by Energy Chains that gleamed with the luster of exotic gold, and at the tip of its tail grew an ”Annihilation Star Anchor” capable of tearing through the fabric of space.

Li Xiang had been observing the battle for a long time and was already familiar with its Divine Techniques. His Nine Nether Falsehood-Breaking Gaze had long since seen through its true nature. The beast had three incredibly powerful Divine Techniques: Dark Abyss Breath, Star Anchor Domain, and World Devouring Rebirth.

This was especially true for two of its Divine Techniques, Dark Abyss Breath and Star Anchor Domain. When used consecutively, the beast had an extremely brief energy conversion window of less than 0.00001 seconds. For any ordinary opponent, this interval was so short that it couldn’t be considered a weakness at all.

Even if an opponent noticed it, they couldn’t possibly launch a successful attack in such a short time.

But Li Xiang was no ordinary opponent. He couldn’t speak for higher Realms, but among those at the Divine Tier, his speed was unmatched!

In the world of martial arts, speed is absolute.

He fought this Exotic Beast for three days and three nights, finally catching the moment this tiny weakness appeared. Moving at an Extreme Speed of 300 kilometers per second, he was there in an instant. The Star Sand surrounding him and the Tier Thirty-Three Blade Mantis Star Chain Dagger in his palm—a weapon boasting a full five Extraordinary Attributes—instantly struck the most critical energy node on its massive body, interrupting the energy conversion.

With one successful move, Li Xiang had the Tier Thirty-Eight Dark Abyss Star-Eating Dragon King. What followed was a storm of relentless attacks. Although its body was so enormous that Li Xiang seemed as small as a mosquito in comparison, every one of his strikes landed on a vital point.

Finally, Li Xiang planted his foot on its once-proud head!

”Submit or die!” Li Xiang roared, his Spiritual Will surging out with frenzied might!

He unleashed his Divine Technique, Beast Taming: Azure Qilin Guide, and forcibly established a Soul Contract.

Though the Tier Thirty-Eight Divine Tier Exotic Beast was unwilling, its limbs thrashing wildly as it let out mournful cries, its body betrayed it. Its head remained completely still, allowing Li Xiang’s Azure Qilin Guide to drive unimpeded into the very core of its Divine Soul.

Having dealt with the Dark Abyss Star-Eating Dragon King and its Star Spiral Patterns, Li Xiang arrived beside the Moon Core and reached out to grasp it.

It was a miniature version of the Moon, radiating a brilliant spiritual glow as countless principles flowed across its surface. It could also be called the Heart of the Moon. In truth, it wasn’t a physical object, but a mass of Spiritual Energy existing somewhere between the tangible and the illusory.

However, this Spiritual Energy was a blank slate, which made it a supreme treasure.

If one could ”resonate” with it, fuse their Spiritual Will into it, and complete its Refinement, they could achieve the Moon Wheel Divine King Realm and simultaneously become the Master of the Moon.

One step above the Moon Wheel Divine King Realm, one could contend for dominion over Earth and become a Planet Dominator.

However, Li Xiang quickly let go.

The moment he touched it, he understood that merging with the Moon Core would take at least five or six years. He still had many matters to attend to on Earth. ’What if a disaster strikes Earth while I’m here in seclusion, refining the Heart of the Moon?’

’I need to make proper arrangements before I can go into seclusion.’

’Besides, the Refinement process is far too long. Can it be shortened?’ Li Xiang asked the system in his mind.

The system quickly replied, ”By consuming five billion Achievement Points, the time can be shortened to approximately one year.”
