Chapter 299: A Narrow Escape
Inside the conference room, the three God Kings stood in a triangle formation, pouring their power into the Ten Directions Celestial Tower, activating the full might of this Creation Artifact.
A powerful barrier formed, shielding the entire world, blocking the golden beam outside.
The rest of the people in the room let out a sigh of relief.
That was way too close
Just a fraction of a second later, and Douluo Star would have been destroyed.
Thankfully, the three God Kings activated the Creation Artifact in time, preventing a planetary catastrophe.
Otherwise, they would have died without even knowing why.
Even before the golden beam reached them, the entire planet had already begun to tremble.
It was as if the world itself could feel the incoming doom
A terrifying wail, the sound of a planet in fear.
That alone proved just how overwhelming the attack was.
As God Kings, Sun Zhongjing, Neptune, and the Silver Dragon King were even more aware of it
It was an impending disaster, something that could end them all in an instant.
The stronger one was, the clearer they could feel this cosmic terror.
Ironically, weaker beings had an advantage
They were too dull to sense their impending annihilation.
They might disintegrate in an instant without even knowing what hit them.
Upon realizing just how devastating the golden horned behemoth's attack was, the three God Kings made an immediate decision.
Summoning the Creation Artifacts left behind by Ye Cheng, they activated the protection of the Ten Directions Celestial Tower just in time.
Had the Creation Artifact not been there
Not only would the three God Kings have perished, but everyone on Douluo Star would have been instantly erased.
Surviving the Abyssal War, only to be wiped out by a random cosmic beast…
That would have been the cruelest irony of all.
Outer Space
The golden beam was blocked by the Celestial Tower's barrier.
But it did not disappear.
Instead, it kept releasing energy, shaking the fabric of space itself.
Cracks spread through the surrounding void
Even the moon, which was relatively far away, began fracturing under the pressure.
That was how terrifying this beam was.
Yet, no matter how hard the golden energy pushed, the Celestial Tower's barrier remained unmoved.
It was as if the golden beam could never penetrate it.
At least, that's how it appeared on the surface.
In reality
Maintaining a planet wide shield required an insane amount of divine power.
Even with three God Kings working together, they were starting to struggle.
Yes, they had blocked the attack
But it was only temporary.
Because the golden beam wasn't fading.
It kept pressing forward.
The battle had reached a deadlock.
After a moment
"Something's wrong."
Neptune's brow furrowed.
"That beam… it's not weakening. If anything, it's getting stronger."
Everyone turned to the holographic projection.
The golden beam, which had been blocked outside Douluo Star, was not dissipating
Instead, it was growing stronger!
Each collision with the barrier sent shockwaves through space, tearing open dimensional rifts.
The scene was horrifying.
But something felt off.
Normally, when an attack was blocked, its energy would gradually diminish.
Either it exploded upon impact, dispersing its energy
Or it continued pressing forward until it eventually faded.
But now
This golden beam was violating all logic.
Instead of weakening, it was amplifying itself.
That was not normal.
A deep sense of unease spread through the room.
Then
"Look at the behemoth!"
Sun Zhongjing's voice cut through the tension.
Everyone turned back to the golden horned behemoth in the projection
And they noticed something strange.
"…Why isn't it moving?"
Someone muttered.
"It's just… standing still?"
"…Could it be that firing the beam drained too much of its energy?"
That offhand comment made everyone freeze.
Then
Suddenly, it all clicked.
"I see it now!"
"I understand why the golden beam isn't weakening!"
"So do I!"
The entire room finally realized the truth.
The golden beam wasn't invincible
It was being replenished.
Every time its energy weakened, the golden horned behemoth was recharging it remotely.
There was an invisible connection between the beam and the beast
Allowing the behemoth to continuously empower its attack.
In other words
This wasn't just a random energy blast.
It was like a flying sword controlled by a cultivator
An attack that could be guided, strengthened, and sustained.
That's why
Even though it looked like a battle between the three God Kings and the golden beam
They were actually fighting the behemoth itself.
And the worst part?
It had barely exerted itself yet.
It wasn't that the golden beam was unstoppable
It was that they were fighting against an opponent who wasn't even trying yet.
"We can't keep this up," Sun Zhongjing said grimly.
"We're just trading blows with something far too massive."
"That's true," the Silver Dragon King agreed.
"In the beast world, the larger the body, the greater the energy reserves.**"
"And with this thing's sheer size… we're in a losing battle."
In the world of beasts, being big didn't always mean being strong.
But if something was strong, it was always big.
As the ruler of the divine beasts, the Silver Dragon King understood this better than anyone.
The golden horned behemoth's sheer size
Was beyond all comprehension.
She couldn't even imagine how something could grow this large.
How had it even reached such a monstrous scale?
Even as a God King, even with her legendary dragon form
She was nothing compared to this creature.
For the first time in her life, she felt truly
Small.
