Chapter 538: Chapter 281: Annihilating the Behemoths, Unifying the Forest, Stage 5 Early Phase!
Chapter 283
"The Python King is dead!!"
In the forest, within a vast clearing, four colossal beasts stood silently, the entire clearing filled with an oppressive aura.
"That newly ascended red lizard is far too arrogant."
"After killing the Monkey King and Vulture King, it has even targeted other giant beasts one after another. The crucial part is... this guy has mastered the King’s Domain!"
One of the giant beasts spoke, with a trace of fear involuntarily appearing in its eyes.
It seemed extremely terrified of the words "King’s Domain."
Upon hearing this, the hearts of the other three giant beasts couldn’t help but sink.
King’s Domain!
In this forest, none of the nine giant beasts had ever mastered the King’s Domain, yet it was first mastered by a latecomer.
Moreover...
It also killed other giant beasts.
"According to this guy’s order, next, the one he’s going to target is the Bear King!"
One of the giant beasts said in a deep voice.
As soon as the statement was made, the other beasts looked towards a black bear. The black bear, feeling the gazes of the three other giant beasts, couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
Next, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Bear King.
"If he wants to kill me... I won’t let him have it easy either!"
"All of you, stop looking at me that way. After I’m dead, the next targets will be you. By then, after devouring so many giant beasts... do you think you can take this guy on one-on-one?"
The Bear King spoke in a deep voice, his words filled with indignation.
"If you ask me... it’s time for us to team up, to eliminate this guy first, otherwise, none of us can escape his grasp!"
The Bear King’s words left the other three beasts in thought.
Seeing this, the Bear King looked even more anxious and quickly said, "Don’t forget, this guy can master the King’s Domain. If we kill him and consume his Bloodline Power... maybe we can master the King’s Domain too!"
"By then... forget about just this forest, maybe we can even control larger territories!"
Hearing this, the three beasts were instantly moved.
There’s no denying... the Bear King’s words made them quite tempted.
Whether it’s the King’s Domain or larger territories, they’re irresistible temptations for giant beasts.
"Then we... have no other choice!"
The three beasts exchanged glances and then spoke simultaneously.
...
"Next... is the Bear King’s territory!"
After devouring the giant python, Lu Sheng’s aura had become even stronger, even making his body bigger.
His footfalls upon the ground caused the earth to tremble slightly.
The towering trees around offered no resistance to Lu Sheng’s body and snapped one by one.
However, just as Lu Sheng approached the Bear King’s territory, he suddenly stopped.
In front of Lu Sheng, four massive beasts, each tens of meters tall, and one reaching a terrifying hundred meters, stood silently, watching Lu Sheng’s position.
"Hmm? Have they actually joined forces?"
Lu Sheng’s eyebrows raised slightly, then a smile curved his lips.
"Good, saves me the trouble of finding you one by one."
Lu Sheng spoke with a smile, not showing a hint of fear.
It’s important to know that now, even though the Bloodline Power of the other three giant beasts within him hasn’t been fully refined, his cultivation has already reached the late stage of Tier Four, coupled with the King’s Domain...
Even facing the joint forces of four giant beasts, he had nothing to fear!
In an instant, Lu Sheng first launched an attack on the four giant beasts.
Clusters of flames, each with different attributes, roared out, wrapped in scorching might, setting everything around ablaze in an instant.
Even the ground, touched by the flames, became riddled with scars.
The four giant beasts watched the approaching flames in shock, knowing that if they were hit by these flames, even they would suffer severe damage.
As such, they started running, avoiding Lu Sheng’s onslaught.
Yet Lu Sheng, like a red lightning bolt, accurately targeted one of the giant beasts, his sharp claws striking down brutally. With the enhancement of the King’s Domain, it exploded with terrifying power.
Boom!!!
In just an instant, before even a cry of pain could be uttered, that beast’s head exploded like a watermelon.
The ground was scattered with red and white matter.
"This..."
The other three giant beasts witnessed the scene before them, their pupils involuntarily contracting, never expecting their fellow beast to be defeated by Lu Sheng in a single move.
"This guy... is unbelievably terrifying!"
```
A giant beast spoke with a heart full of dread, its eyes showing a strong fear.
Even though it had two other companions, watching the gruesome death of that giant beast still filled them with terror.
"Next... it’s your turn!"
Lu Sheng spoke lightly. His body, like a small hill, suddenly exploded with extreme speed, swiftly approaching a giant beast.
Repeating the old trick, his claws crashed down once more.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
On the entire battlefield, only muffled sounds could be heard, accompanied by the outbreak of terrifying power, plunging everything around into endless chaos.
About a joss stick’s worth of time later, this battlefield finally returned to tranquility.
On the battlefield, the corpses of four giant beasts lay disorderly on the ground, blood constantly seeping into the earth, turning it dark red.
Lu Sheng leisurely walked to the corpses of the four giant beasts and spoke softly.
"Did you think gathering together could resist me?"
"Too naive."
With that, Lu Sheng opened his mouth and began to devour the corpses of these giant beasts bit by bit.
After completely consuming the giant beasts’ corpses, Lu Sheng slowly raised his head and gazed at the entire forest.
"Now... I’m the only giant beast in this forest."
"Now the entire forest... belongs to my territory!"
Lu Sheng spoke softly, then led his horde aggressively into the other giant beast groups, unleashing the King’s Domain with terrifying energy, instantaneously suppressing the other groups.
Forcefully incorporating them into his own group.
Afterward, Lu Sheng took all the cultivation resources stored within these groups and devoured them.
After doing all this, Lu Sheng returned to the valley, ordered the surrounding exotic beasts to continue gathering resources, and began using the Dragon Transformation Technique to refine the energy and bloodline power within.
...
Several days later.
When Lu Sheng opened his eyes again, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from him.
"Tier five... early stage!"
Lu Sheng spoke gently, yet even his eyes emitted an aura of majesty.
The exotic beasts outside the valley shivered.
"Besides..."
As if remembering something, Lu Sheng opened his mouth, and instantly, a mass of black energy surged out from his mouth.
Rumbling!!!
The extreme energy immediately pierced through the valley’s rock wall, and it carried a strong corrosiveness, gradually eroding the already pierced wall.
"The fire spray ability has advanced, not only containing different attribute powers from before but also becoming much stronger."
"Let’s call it... Deathly Silence Breath!"
Lu Sheng smiled slightly and twisted his body.
His massive form expanded from its previous hundred-meter size to two hundred meters, and just twisting his body hit the valley, causing the entire valley to tremble as if it might collapse at any moment.
"And the King’s Domain..."
Lu Sheng’s eyes squinted slightly, and the King’s Domain slowly expanded, but this time as Lu Sheng unfolded the King’s Domain, he discovered something different.
With the domain’s expansion, it instantly enveloped the entire valley, and even continued to sweep beyond.
"The King’s Domain... seems to establish a certain connection with the entire forest!"
"Everything in the forest seems to be within my perception, if I wish, I can know every movement within the forest!"
"So... this is the path after tier four in the Beast Realm?"
Lu Sheng was lost in thought.
Lu Sheng thought about the monkey leader in the mountain stream, thought about the Monkey King, and thought about those giant beasts occupying a corner of the forest.
These exotic beasts, giant beasts, seem to be building their own hordes and expanding their territories.
It’s almost as if it’s an inherent nature.
Even the tier three monkey leader without the strength of a giant beast occupied a mountain stream as its territory and developed over a dozen minions.
This almost instinctual way of expanding territory and developing minions, at first Lu Sheng thought it was the nature of this world.
But now it seems... it should be related to the progression path.
Besides refining bloodline power and strengthening oneself, developing hordes and minions is an essential aspect of progression.
"If viewed this way, to improve and become even stronger, besides devouring more exotic giant beasts, expanding one’s territory is also necessary."
"Luckily... now the entire forest is my territory!"
Lu Sheng smiled slightly, releasing the King’s Domain, constantly perceiving everything within this forest.
At this moment, Lu Sheng, relying on the connection between the King’s Domain and the forest territory, saw a monkey appear outside the valley as if there was something to tell him.
