Chapter 542: Chapter 285: Lion King Invasion, Slaying the Lion King, and a Kings’ Conference Where Power Rules!
Lu Sheng perched in the valley, eyes slightly squinting, pondering deeply.
"This guy’s territory is just outside the forest, adjacent to mine. If I were him, I would be hostile too."
"Especially at the king’s meeting, the veneer of civility between us has basically been stripped away!"
As Lu Sheng pondered, a faint glimmer of cold light gradually flickered in his eyes.
"It’s best not to provoke me, otherwise... I don’t mind expanding my territory!"
The Lion King’s cultivation wasn’t very high, at least in Lu Sheng’s eyes, it was merely mid-stage Tier Five.
Even as an old master Giant Beast King, in Lu Sheng’s eyes, it still wasn’t much. If Lu Sheng wanted, he could completely crush him!
That said, Lu Sheng slowly closed his eyes, beginning to slowly strengthen the bloodline power within him, enhancing his strength.
At the same time, just outside the forest, was a desert jungle. The Beast Realm is very strange; clearly, it was still forest, full of vitality.
Yet outside the forest was a desert jungle, where vitality seemed extremely scarce.
In this desert jungle, a lion several hundred meters tall, followed by a large group of lions, quietly looked towards the direction of the forest.
"King of the Forest..."
A deep voice came from the Lion King.
The fur on its body was like flames, flickering like leaping fire in the wind, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.
In its eyes, a hint of icy coldness emerged.
"If this guy is allowed to grow, it will be an enormous threat to my territory!"
The Lion King fixed its gaze on the distant forest, its eyes flashing with killing intent.
It had already considered the forest part of its domain, waiting to take time to suppress the nine giant beasts within, thus expanding its sphere of influence and stepping into late-stage Tier Five.
But who knew...
When it made time, there was suddenly Lu Sheng, such a King of the Forest, in the forest.
This filled the Lion King’s heart with anger.
A place it considered its forbidden ground had been taken away, and there’s a guy powerful enough to threaten its life; for the Lion King, this was bound to be troublesome.
"I can’t let this guy grow, otherwise..."
"I will be in danger!"
A dangerous glint flashed in the Lion King’s eyes, and the next moment, it let out a deep roar.
The fur on its body fluttered continuously, like flames adorning its body.
Then, the lion pride behind it received the Lion King’s orders, letting out a series of low growls, then launching an attack towards the forest.
"Since that’s the case... I have to strike first. By the time the meeting reacts, I will have completely devoured its bloodline power; by then..."
"I will definitely reach the Tier Five Peak, being a top-tier existence at the meeting."
"The meeting... can’t possibly punish me for a dead king!"
A ruthless glint flickered in the Lion King’s eyes, and in the next instant, it transformed into a blaze, rushing straight towards the forest.
Rumble!!!
In an instant, a terrifying aura erupted within the forest, as trees toppled one after another, accompanied by the mournful cries of numerous exotic beasts, echoing through the forest.
In the valley, Lu Sheng’s eyes snapped open, a supremely powerful aura suddenly sweeping out from him.
"Can’t sit still, can you?"
"Want to strike first? I’m afraid... you don’t have what it takes!"
Lu Sheng’s voice was calm, yet filled with an icy chill.
The next moment, Lu Sheng’s body suddenly expanded, transforming into a giant lizard beast several hundred meters tall, stepping forward and instantly leaving the valley.
Arriving at the center of the forest, he unleashed a Deathly Silence Breath, with the gray energy sweeping around, instantly obliterating a large group of lion exotic beasts.
"King of the Forest!! You’re courting death!!"
A deep voice came from not far away, as the Lion King charged madly, like a blazing fire, releasing a powerful aura.
It watched the lion exotic beasts being slaughtered by Lu Sheng’s Deathly Silence Breath, its eyes filled with a fiery rage, staring straight at Lu Sheng.
"Courting death? I think... you’re the one who’s tired of living!"
Lu Sheng let out a cold snort, instantly raising a claw and fiercely striking towards the Lion King.
The terrifying power made the Lion King’s eyes flicker with a tinge of dread.
"This guy... is clearly just a newly ascended Giant Beast King, yet the power he erupted with stirs a slight chill in me. Luckily, I struck first, otherwise, if given a bit more time, even I... might not be this guy’s match!"
The thought flashed across the Lion King’s mind.
"But it’s okay... The current me... is enough to take him down!"
The Lion King snorted coldly in his heart, and instantly, overwhelming flames roared out from his body. The surrounding battlefield transformed into a sea of fire in an instant, as if it wished to annihilate everything.
Rumble!!!
Accompanied by terrifying booms, the battlefield was filled with a scorching atmosphere, causing the temperature of the entire world to rise considerably at this moment.
"It’s just Mid-stage Tier Five..."
"Who gave you the courage!!"
Even in this endless sea of flames, Lu Sheng’s eyes were filled with nothing but endless coldness, as if the flames were unable to dispel the chill in Lu Sheng’s eyes.
Lu Sheng directly ignored the flames around him and rushed toward the Lion King.
The terrifying power caused everything around to tremble.
The ground even began to shake slightly, seemingly unable to bear the aura bursting forth from Lu Sheng’s body.
Bang!!
Lu Sheng’s body collided fiercely with the Lion King, arcs of electricity leaping out and clinging to the Lion King’s body like maggots on its bones.
In just an instant, the Lion King’s physical form fell into rigidity.
"Not good!!"
The Lion King’s heart couldn’t help but be slightly surprised, and an inexplicable fear surfaced within his mind.
At that moment, Lu Sheng had already opened his mouth, his sharp teeth flashing with waves of coldness, causing the Lion King’s heart to sink uncontrollably.
He... was about to be slain by the opponent!
But just then, an urgent figure rushed over, and upon seeing Lu Sheng about to bite down, the urgent figure quickly spoke up.
"Forest brother, hold your hand!"
With the emergence of this voice, Lu Sheng’s actions paused for a moment, and the Lion King, hearing this voice, felt a tinge of joy in his heart.
"Sandstone Scorpion King, save me!!"
The Lion King spoke excitedly, seeking rescue.
Indeed, the one who hurried over was none other than the Sandstone Scorpion King who had initially invited Lu Sheng to join the King’s Conference.
Upon detecting the Lion King was taking action against the forest, the Sandstone Scorpion King hurried over, as both parties were giant beast kings who were part of the King’s Conference.
Internal conflict must not happen.
Especially for the King’s Conference, each giant beast king was a great asset, carrying rather important responsibilities.
If any were lost, it would be a tremendous loss for the King’s Conference.
Just what the Sandstone Scorpion King didn’t expect was, Lu Sheng, who had just become a giant beast king, could press the Lion King so hard, and if it hadn’t intervened, the Lion King would have died at Lu Sheng’s hands.
However, just as the Sandstone Scorpion King breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Sheng’s actions resumed normally.
His sharp teeth instantly pierced through the Lion King’s flesh, blood splattering wildly, scattering across the world, making that piece of the world turn scarlet in an instant.
"You!!"
The Lion King’s eyes widened; he hadn’t expected that even with the Sandstone Scorpion King speaking, Lu Sheng would still strike, resulting in...
The Lion King could only feel a strong force of vitality continuously draining from his body, eventually dimming his vision completely, returning to darkness and falling into deathly silence.
"Forest brother, you..."
The Sandstone Scorpion King was also stunned watching the scene before him; he hadn’t expected Lu Sheng to dare to kill the Lion King directly right under his nose.
For a moment, a flame of anger surged in the Sandstone Scorpion King’s heart.
This was anger directed at Lu Sheng for showing no regard for him.
Lu Sheng glanced at the Sandstone Scorpion King indifferently and said, "This guy rushed into my territory himself, wanting to slay me, and now... can’t I kill him?"
After uttering these words, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.
He saw the so-called King’s Conference clearly; it was essentially a place where toughness mattered. As long as his strength was sufficient, even killing the Lion King wouldn’t cause any trouble.
Moreover...
They would even worship him.
"But after all, he is a member of our King’s Conference!"
Indeed, as Lu Sheng had expected, though the Sandstone Scorpion King was angry, he quickly suppressed his rage, revealing a helpless expression, and said to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng’s ability to kill the Lion King meant that, even among Tier Five giant beast kings, Lu Sheng’s strength was quite terrifying. If he devoured the Lion King, his strength would surely become even greater.
At that time... It would definitely be a good thing for the King’s Conference!
