CHAPTER 983: CHAPTER 981: WE DON’T EVEN KNOW HIM

"Impossible! How is this possible!"

If Zhang Menglong’s Great Desolation Imprisoning Heaven Finger challenged his perception of human limits, then this scene undoubtedly shattered his worldview.

This Phantom Star Beast is a level nine life form! With the genes of a ferocious beast, even those level nine life forms among humans cannot defeat it one-on-one.

No matter how powerful Zhang Menglong and the others are, their true combat power must be only that of level six life forms, right? This punch doesn’t even need to hit them directly; the energy waves emanating from the fist can shatter their bodies.

But now, Zhang Menglong blocked the punch with just one finger. Is this possible? Has he been hallucinating from too much gaming recently?

Even though it is an artificial life form, the Phantom Star Beast is also an independent entity with its own consciousness and thinking. Apart from blind obedience to its Summoner, its intelligence is no less than humans.

It couldn’t understand how beings that seemed like ants could actually stop its punch.

"Roar!" The Phantom Star Beast growled, unleashing a surge of power on the whole map, causing visible waves to expand outward in the air.

"Boom boom boom!"

Wherever the waves passed, destruction followed, and Treasure Hunters nearby couldn’t even react before their bodies were shattered by that power.

Yet, Zhang Menglong’s body did not retreat an inch, maintaining a mysterious smile on his face.

"Phantom Star Beast? Batch Star Beast!"

"Ha!" Zhang Menglong shouted with rage, unleashing a power deeply buried in his blood, his hair standing as if struck by lightning, glowing golden while his eyes turned ocean blue.

"Beep beep beep beep! Energy Intensity exceeds 100 units! Already beyond the detector’s range!"

Qi Ya’s Artificial Intelligence triggered a frantic alert.

"Impossible! Over 100 units? How is this possible? A level ten life form has never appeared, only existing in theory, impossible!"

Long-term summoning of the Phantom Star Beast had severely corroded Qi Ya’s body, yet the physical decay was nothing compared to his mental collapse.

Not just him; the other Treasure Hunters were also stunned.

"Did you hear? His Energy Intensity has exceeded 100 units."

"Isn’t he a Level Five life form? How does he possess such power? Even if borrowed, it surpasses the power of a level nine Peak life form; can the world truly bear this strength?"

"Who just said they were doomed? Come out for a scolding!"

"Luckily, I ran. Who would dare provoke that?"

"The outside world probably doesn’t even know what happened here, right? This strength could potentially disrupt the cosmic balance directly."

"Forget treasure hunting! Everything might as well be given to them; who dares to compete with the Ritian Sect?"

...

"Rise!" Zhang Menglong grasped the arm of the Phantom Star Beast, swinging it through the air before brutally smashing it towards Shiro City.

Other level six life forms hurriedly activated their defense systems, but the force had long exceeded their system limits, shattering them in sharp sounds.

The colossal body of the Phantom Star Beast dragged a trail several kilometers long through the city, leaving ruins in its wake.

"I give you my life! Kill him for me!" Qi Ya had gone mad.

Ignoring the depletion of Life Force, he began burning his life, making the light of the Phantom Beast Crystal on his chest increasingly dazzling.

The Phantom Star Beast received Qi Ya’s Life Energy, quickly revitalized.

It immediately climbed from the ground, brewing an atomic breath like Godzilla in its mouth.

"He’s going to fire! Run!"

"Damn, demolition!"

"Dean, we’re leaving this to you!"

Everyone felt this energy’s power; once released, it promised to be destructive beyond measure, rendering hundreds of kilometers barren instantly.

"Swallow it down for me!"

As the atomic breath was about to erupt, Zhang Menglong’s body abruptly appeared beside the Phantom Star Beast’s mouth, pushing the energy sphere back into its mouth with his hand.

"Boom!"

The Phantom Star Beast’s body swelled like a balloon, the internal agony making it roar, the intense sound waves shattering surrounding buildings.

"Damn, my hotel!" Zhang Menglong shouted, striking the Phantom Star Beast with a fierce punch.

This was an overwhelming massacre, a bizarre contrast with these disproportionally sized entities, each punch smashing its tough scales, causing heart-wrenching pain.

The Phantom Star Beast’s cries turned from wails to pathetic whimpers.

Zhang Menglong had beaten the Phantom Star Beast into tears!

As it appeared, the black fissure reappeared; Qi Ya’s Life Force had exhausted, unable to maintain the Phantom Star Beast.

Finding a sense of security at this moment, it desperately clawed at the fissure, longing to leave this place for the dark space, avoiding more beating.

Humans in this world were too terrifying, especially those with golden hair, leaving deep-seated scars in its heart.

The instant the Phantom Star Beast disappeared, calm returned, and Zhang Menglong withdrew from the borrowed strength state.

"Damn, that power is insane, defeating gods and Buddhas at every turn!"

Zhang Menglong approached Qi Ya, whose body almost turned into a corpse, yet weak Life Force indicated he wasn’t completely dead, the three companions standing nearby with bowed heads.

Fighting Zhang Menglong again? Are you crazy? Didn’t you see it beat that level nine life form to tears?

"This thing is too dangerous; I think it’s safer with me, right?" Zhang Menglong said, pointing to the Phantom Beast Crystal on Qi Ya’s chest.

You’re treating him like a punching bag then calling it dangerous, insisting it stay with you?

If you’ve taken a liking to it, we wouldn’t dare refuse, why make such excuses?

"The dean isn’t speaking coherently again."

"I’m sure he copied that line from Naruto; it was said when Nagato sealed the Nine-Tails."

"Truly arrogant, I’m willing to call him the strongest in this regard."

"What a treasure!" Zhang Menglong examined the Phantom Beast Crystal, capable of summoning a level nine life form with Life Force, costing far fewer Cred Points.

This Life Force drain is a huge burden even for level nine life forms, but Zhang Menglong has hacks; teachers at the Super God Academy with endless Life Force abilities abound, allowing nearly unlimited summoning of Phantom Star Beasts with some Cred Points.

"You three!" Zhang Menglong’s gaze fell on three individuals from the Shiro Cosmic Empire and Noah Cosmic Empire, who shivered under his gaze.

"Zhang... Mr. Zhang, we didn’t hurt your friends."

"Uh, we don’t even know him! You can kill or spare him; take anything from him, it’s up to you."

"Yeah, we have no connection to him, we’re just bystanders!"
