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.”

Li Xiang checked his account. He only had a little over 2.8 billion Achievement Points.

’Exotic Beasts of the Moon, my apologies. It seems I have to start harvesting!’ Li Xiang ordered his new Spirit Pet to guard the Heart of the Moon, then flashed out of the Dark Universe. Reaching the surface, he began his slaughter!

In the past, when he was at the Saint Tier, he could slaughter Saint Tier Exotic Beasts at will, to say nothing of those below that Tier.

Now that he was at the Divine Tier and had even tamed the Dark Abyss Star-Eating Dragon King—a beast at the Peak of Divine Tier—killing Saint Tier and weaker beasts was, of course, child’s play.

Li Xiang controlled a hundred motes of thousand-ton Star Sand and began a great slaughter. He swept back and forth across the Moon several times, killing over two million Exotic Beasts and reducing the Moon’s Exotic Beast population by at least two-thirds.

As he went, he collected the corpses of all the slain Exotic Beasts. Their remains were extremely valuable materials. For instance, they could be used to craft Extraordinary Weapons. They could also be combined with Earth’s technology to develop new materials suitable for interstellar travel or to create Super Particle Cannons with greater Attack Power.

Some of the highly venomous species could be used for biochemical research and the development of bioweapons.

The remains of certain special Exotic Beasts, like the Blazing Heaven-Burning Eagle and the Black Fire Profound Crow, could even serve as a heat source to warm underground farms.

Furthermore, the flesh and blood of the Exotic Beasts could serve as fertilizer for the underground farms. It was safe to say every part of their bodies was a treasure.

Li Xiang harvested over three billion Achievement Points. Combined with his existing balance, his account now held over six billion, which was more than enough to shorten the Refinement time. He stopped, as the task was too time-consuming.

About one million Eclipsed Moon Star Remains Beasts remained on the Moon. He had intentionally spared them, as they were the same species as his new Spirit Pet. It was the perfect arrangement for his new pet to command them, leading the species to guard the Moon as one of its defensive forces.

Li Xiang summoned the Dark Abyss Star-Eating Dragon King and ordered it to rally the remaining members of its species and find a lair near the South Pole of the Moon to serve as their base.
