Chapter 524 — The Aliens' Mentality Collapses

Besides, this Phoenix Man probably wasn't anyone important; at the very least, he was surely no match for this Zilan. And the forces of the Void Emperor and Senior Lin Feng could be considered a super-divine faction, yet even they were absolutely not a major power in the cosmos.

Thinking this way, Shi Jin took a deep breath and grew all the more solemn.

If he wanted to go to the cosmos, he would need to prepare a great deal more—otherwise, when the time came, he definitely wouldn't be able to beat anyone.

"I understand..." Zilan's expression was silent, but she was shaken inside. Even she would have to expend considerable effort to defeat Qimu and Feng Jiu.

What was the deal with this Shi Jin?

A monster?

She truly hadn't expected the other side to be defeated across a level gap.

If the Xuan Kong Star side were to learn of this, there would surely be a massive upheaval.

"I..." On the distant ground, the Phoenix Man's finger twitched feebly. He would never again believe any nonsense about traveling to a low-tier planet being like going to the countryside for a dimensional-strike beatdown.

...

The great battle over the East Sea shook the planet once more. Even the Dragon God, who had returned to Shenyuan City, and the World Tree, which had just been preparing to condense a cosmic crystal, were both startled.

"What, what, what?" The World Tree was greatly alarmed. Sensing the familiar fluctuations of battle, its head instantly ached, and it understood: Shi Jin and the others had stirred up trouble again.

To prevent any mishaps, it immediately rushed over to see what was going on—and then it witnessed the Phoenix Man being suppressed and pummeled by Shi Jin the entire time, saw the so-called extraterrestrial prodigy with basically no ability to fight back against Shi Jin, beaten across a level gap, and sank into deep contemplation.

That's it?

To the west, the Demon Kingdom.

The succubus and another female beastmaster sat like queens enthroned in the palace of the Demon Kingdom, conversing with the demon demigod and the fallen-angel prince below them.

At this moment, the fallen-angel demigod and the fallen-angel prince were staring at them in utter shock.

Who would have thought that these visitors from beyond the stars were actually descendants of the demon god clan that had departed during the Mythic Era.

Sensing the terrifying pressure radiating from them, a pressure comparable to that of true gods, the fallen-angel father and son felt both elation and dread.

"Relax, we're not going to eat you," the succubus said with an indifferent smile. "We've come back only to take the people of Blue Star out into the cosmos."

"We've already reached an agreement with Lan Yanzhi. From here on, all you need to do is cooperate with our operations."

"By the way, do you know Shi Jin?" the succubus asked.

Since the World Tree had hailed Shi Jin as Blue Star's strongest beastmaster, they naturally wanted to learn more about him.

"We know of him, my lady," the fallen-angel father and son said, startled at first by the mention of Shi Jin. "He should count as the strongest beastmaster on Blue Star at present."

"Not long ago, in a single battle, he defeated two Abyssal demigods."

"He is extremely powerful."

"I see. Not bad at all," the succubus said. "Rest assured, as long as you serve diligently, you will surpass him in strength sooner or later."

"I believe it!" The fallen-angel prince gazed excitedly at the incomparably beautiful succubus queen before him, almost ready to swear his loyalty on the spot.

The succubus smiled faintly. "That Shi Jin may seem strong to you, but set against the cosmos and the starry void, he is utterly insignificant. In our current team, for instance, even the weakest of us, that angel man, could crush him."

"Isn't that right, Lili?" She turned to the woman beside her.

"Mm..." The other cosmic being nodded vaguely. The weakest—wasn't that the two of them?

The demon demigod made no objection to their words; it had already resolved to cling tightly to the legs of these cosmic beings.

These people were indeed powerful.

A single exchanged glance had roused in it a feeling of submission and powerlessness.

Even when facing those demigod-level awakened gods, it had never felt anything like this.

It felt that even those gods would be instantly slain by this pair of demon women.

Were alien civilizations truly this terrifying?

But just at that moment—

Rumble...

Far to the east, in another space, the tremors of battle traveled all the way here, sending shockwaves through the entire Demon Kingdom and startling the demon demigod.

At that very instant, the female contractor also rose swiftly to her feet, staring into the distance in disbelief.

"Qimu, Feng Jiu, and the others—we've lost contact with them."

"They must have lost consciousness."

"What happened?"

To guard against mishaps, the several team members who had gone to Blue Star had established a telepathic link in advance, so that if one met with trouble, the others would sense it.

"Trouble?"

What kind of trouble could there be on Blue Star?

The succubus could not fathom it.

[No need to panic.] Just as the succubus queen of the Demon Kingdom, the glorious angel man, and the others all sensed that something had happened to the phoenix man, Zilan's grave voice rang out in immediate explanation.

[I merely had Qimu spar with Shi Jin... I just never expected he would lose.]

[Keep a low profile, all of you. Don't be too arrogant. Blue Star hides dragons and crouching tigers. This Shi Jin... is very strong.]

"How is that possible?" the succubus and the others said in unison, unable to believe their own ears.

What kind of joke was this?

What on earth had happened over there?

How could that Shi Jin possibly have defeated the phoenix man?

Among the four of them, the phoenix man's strength did not rank at the top, but he could still place third—even a bit stronger than their demon duo.

If the phoenix man had been defeated, did that not mean they too were no match for Blue Star's strongest beastmaster?

"My lady, what has happened?" the fallen-angel prince asked cautiously.

The succubus whipped her head toward him and demanded, "I ask you—what exactly is the deal with this Shi Jin? Is his combat power truly only enough to defeat two demigods?"

Under that terrifying demonic coercion, the Fallen Angel Prince flinched. "Sir, those are his most recent combat records. He progresses far too quickly. In only four years as a beast tamer, he became the strongest. We do not even know how much strength he is still concealing."

"That's right. When he defeated those two demigods, he should still have been only a level-eight beast tamer. If he has broken through to the legendary tier, he may well have grown even stronger."

At those words, the succubus froze. Only four years as a beast tamer, and already the strongest on an entire planet?

What kind of cosmic joke was this?

"I want his detailed file," another cosmic being said at once, his expression grave.

The Demonic Kingdom had naturally gathered records on Jue; the succubus and her companions soon obtained what they sought. They had not known, but one look, and their hearts convulsed.

For one line plainly stated: at level-six beast tamer, he had unleashed a divine-tier talent that triggered the Voice of a top-tier law, aiding his tamed beasts in defeating a weakened god and a battle ancient god who had fallen to overlord tier.

"Mastering a divine-tier talent at level six...?" The succubus's eyes went wide. Clutching the file, she looked utterly incredulous.

Her breathing grew ragged. How could any human reach such a level? She refused to believe this was a Blue Star native!

…………

"Why are you fighting again?!"

The World Tree wanted to cry. When it had sent Shi Jin and the others off, it had clearly seen that Shi Jin was well-behaved and got along famously and warmly with these aliens.
