Chapter 59: The Host Easily Slays the Emperor-Class Star Beast, Truly a Divine Being Descended!
“According to the latest news report, around 7:53 PM, a major traffic accident occurred at the Tingyuan-Aiai Intersection… Currently resulting in two deaths and one injury. The cause of the accident is still under investigation…”
“Citizens passing through are advised to choose alternative routes…”
A fine drizzle fell from the gloomy sky.
The police car radio crackled as it broadcast the latest traffic updates.
Dozens of Star Martial Police Department armored vehicles sped through the streets, sirens wailing and engines roaring as they cut through the continuous rain curtain.
In just a short while.
They arrived at the accident scene and surrounded the vehicles involved layer by layer.
“Everyone search the surroundings, don’t overlook any suspicious circumstances!”
The Police Inspector Commander opened his walkie-talkie, calmly directing the scene while stepping out of his vehicle and quickly approaching to assess the situation.
The scene was gruesome.
A sedan had rear-ended a heavy truck.
The driver in the front seat died instantly, his skull pierced by protruding steel bars, his occiput fused with the headrest in a bloody mess.
At that moment, the officer in charge of the accident approached the Commander, pulling out a work tablet to report:
“Sir, the deceased in this case resembles the situation at the previous intersection – both died from unknown causes.”
“Pull up the surveillance footage for me.”
The Commander frowned at the driver’s corpse, then took the tablet from the officer to review the intersection camera recordings.
In the surveillance footage.
The driver in the front seat was initially laughing and chatting with passengers in the car, the atmosphere completely normal.
But in the very next second.
After watching the traffic light ahead and stepping on the accelerator, the driver suddenly turned pale and rigid, collapsing onto the steering wheel with a thud!
Such a sudden turn of events exceeded everyone’s expectations.
The out-of-control vehicle ultimately skidded and crashed into a truck carrying heavy cargo, producing a terrifying metallic impact sound.
“Another identical death…”
The Commander stared at the surveillance footage, utterly perplexed.
One moment, the driver was perfectly fine, chatting with passengers.
The next moment, dead in the driver’s seat?
How could something so absurd happen in this world?
Moreover, the incident was riddled with peculiarities.
Similar cases occurred periodically.
Sometimes in the suburbs, sometimes in bustling urban areas – the locations varied unpredictably.
The Commander had previously collaborated with the Library Director and Elder Li to trace the origins at accident scenes.
But no matter how thoroughly they searched, they consistently found no clues.
At this thought, the Police Inspector Commander’s expression turned grave.
The recent Bloodthirsty Leech incident remained vivid in memory – citizen safety was the Star Martial Police Department’s top priority.
As the Commander, he couldn’t afford to remain passive; he must find ways to eliminate all potential threats completely.
With this resolution.
He returned the tablet to the officer and asked: “Have the deceased’s family been notified?”
“Reporting, Sir. They’ve been notified and should arrive in about three minutes.”
“Dispatch some officers to communicate with them.”
The Commander said solemnly: “Pay close attention to this deceased’s condition. If circumstances permit, try to have the family arrange for cremation.”
“Understood, Sir.”

Meanwhile, elsewhere.After work, Qin Yang was lounging idly on his bed, scrolling through news on his phone with little interest.
Faint sounds of running water came from the kitchen.
Xiaobai, wearing an apron, stood busily washing vegetables at the sink while perched on a stool, occasionally casting resentful glances toward Qin Yang.
“Hmph, playing with his phone again!”
Looking at the vegetables in the sink, Xiaobai’s fair little hands applied too much force, instantly snapping a bok choy in half.
So infuriating!
Why does he get to play with his phone all day?
While this Fairy has to wash vegetables here?
Unfair!
Absolutely unfair!
Indignantly, Xiaobai splashed the water with her slender white hands, her beast ears perked up high as she eavesdropped on the videos Qin Yang was watching to pass the time.
“…Tingyuan-Aiai Intersection… major traffic accident… currently confirmed two fatalities…”
When this video appeared, Qin Yang’s eyes lit up, and he abruptly sat up from the bed.
“Finally here!”
Overjoyed, Qin Yang stared at the screen and quickly memorized the accident location.
The Soul Devouring Worm had arrived faster than anticipated.
After all, beasts are just beasts—they live by primitive instincts, lacking sufficient intelligence.
Just yesterday, he had startled it, and today it immediately reappeared in the city district.
Perfect timing to test the power of the newly created “Soul Severing Sword”!
With this thought.
Qin Yang put down his phone, slipped on his sandals, and hurried toward the door.
“Watch the house, Xiaobai. I’m going out!”
“Where are you go—”
Before Xiaobai could finish her question, the door slammed shut with a bang, leaving her with a harsh dismissal.
“Y-you!”
Her pretty face flushed red, silver teeth clenched, Xiaobai waved her small fist angrily at the door. But remembering Qin Yang would return later, she could only continue washing vegetables with grievance.
No other choice.
Under someone’s roof, one must bow their head.
…………………………..
On the road, the rain intensified.
A misty haze enveloped the world, bloodstains washing away with the rainwater into the gutters on both sides of the street.
Qin Yang, using the Seven-Star Dragon Step, arrived under a tree near the accident site, observing the situation.
At that moment.
Several officers from the Star Martial Police Department guarded the scene, having set up orange warning lines, standing like iron towers in the rain, unbreachable.
“The authorities are involved too.”
Qin Yang’s gaze shifted.
From the guards to the alternating traffic lights.
More precisely, to the Soul Devouring Worm hiding atop the light…
Under spiritual sense, the worm lay dormant in the heavy rain, unmoving.
Even the falling raindrops passed through its formless, shapeless body.
“Ding, warning! Emperor-Class Star Beast Soul Devouring Worm detected!”
“Host, flee immediately to preserve your life…”
Ignoring the system prompt in his ear, Qin Yang focused entirely on the target.
Heavy rain fell, dark clouds gathered.
His spiritual power concealed within the pattering raindrops, silently spreading.
Tenfold killing intent converged around the Soul Devouring Worm, gradually coalescing into a sharp longsword suspended above it.
This was a hunt in the rain.
Qin Yang slowly exhaled a breath, holding his focus, seizing the critical moment as his will channeled spiritual power.
“Fall.”
With his lightly spoken command.
The Soul Severing Sword responded, fully formed and descending.
Thump!
Accompanied by the satisfying sound of metal piercing “flesh.”
The kill was complete.The Soul Devouring Worm instantly lost all vitality, its flesh slowly vanishing in the rain—yet not completely dissipating, leaving behind a transparent bead from which dense soul energy surged forth.
“Eh? The old thing actually dropped loot?”
Qin Yang was delighted at the sight and immediately prepared to channel his Star Power to retrieve it.
But before he could examine it closely,
the system’s voice abruptly rang out!
“My heavens! The host actually slew an Emperor-Class Star Beast so effortlessly—truly a divine being descended to the mortal realm!”
“Detected that the host has slain an Emperor-Class Star Beast, the Soul Devouring Worm!”
“Reward increased fiftyfold…”
