Chapter 544: Chapter 287: The Meeting’s Decision, Lu Sheng’s Doubts, Time to Strike!
"Presumptuous!!"
As Lu Sheng’s languid voice rang out, those Giant Beast Kings who had previously denounced him were instantly infuriated.
Lu Sheng’s words undoubtedly changed the nature of the accusation against him.
In this situation, how could they pin a hat on Lu Sheng? How could they intensify the charges against him?
This is not what they wanted to see!
Thus, the debates in the entire canyon grew louder and louder, yet Lu Sheng remained in a sleepy demeanor, unmoved by the continuous disputes around him, not saying a single word.
A sense of helplessness appeared on the face of the Sandstone Scorpion King beside him, not expecting Lu Sheng to be so dismissive of those creatures’ words.
This arrogant attitude would surely anger these beings.
Sure enough, just as this thought emerged in the Scorpion King’s mind, numerous Giant Beast Kings erupted with powerful auras that reverberated throughout the canyon.
"The meeting has its rules, no one should break the rules because of an individual!"
"The King of the Forest killing the Lion King is a challenge against the meeting’s rules. I propose... executing this scoundrel!"
A Giant Beast King roared angrily, instantly revealing mid-stage Tier Five power, infinitely close to late-stage Tier Five. The terrifying cultivation stirred up storms within the canyon.
This Giant Beast King suddenly charged towards Lu Sheng, and the surrounding Beast Kings’ eyes flashed with a faint glow, not obstructing but allowing the attack on Lu Sheng.
Even the Sandstone Scorpion King quietly remained on its stone slab, not taking action.
Feeling the other’s aura, Lu Sheng’s eyes suddenly opened a slit, a mysterious anger igniting within his gaze.
"Such... noise!"
Lu Sheng spoke calmly, his tail sweeping out like an iron rod.
With a sudden thud, it struck the Giant Beast King’s body.
Bang!!
With a muffled explosion, the Fierce Beast close to late-stage Tier Five was effortlessly swept away by Lu Sheng’s tail.
Its body crashed heavily against the canyon’s rock wall, creating numerous fearsome cracks.
Countless rocks fell into the canyon abyss.
In an instant, the entire canyon fell silent, everyone’s gaze resting on Lu Sheng.
The King of Giant Beasts who had previously denounced Lu Sheng now showed a look of dread.
Instantly defeating a Giant Beast King close to late-stage Tier Five, such power is terrifying, even within the meeting of kings, above all except those Tier Six managers; Lu Sheng’s strength is absolutely noteworthy.
Such an existence is a great asset to the meeting of kings!
After all this, Lu Sheng closed his eyes again, as if the earlier events were no more than trivial matters to him.
The Beast King hosting the meeting also glanced deeply at Lu Sheng with a curved smile, sweeping his gaze over the other Beast Kings and speaking slowly.
"Alright, I have roughly understood the course of this matter!"
"Although the King of the Forest killed the Lion King, it was ultimately the Lion King who provoked the King of the Forest first, invading his territory, which is in itself a violation of the meeting’s rules."
"Since the Lion King violated the rules first, there’s no need to dwell on the King of the Forest’s actions."
Upon hearing this, those Giant Beast Kings from the Lion King’s faction furrowed their brows slightly, evidently aware of the host’s impending words.
Though unwilling, remembering Lu Sheng’s terrifying combat power still stirred ripples in their hearts.
Lu Sheng’s power... is too terrifying.
"But the King of the Forest still violated the rules. To maintain the meeting’s regulations, now the Lion King’s territory will be merged into the King of the Forest’s domain."
"The King of the Forest will replace the Lion King in guarding the meeting territories against the Giant Ape Kingdom’s invasion!"
The Beast King hosting the meeting spoke slowly.
His words further darkened the expressions of those Giant Beast Kings from the Lion King’s faction.
This isn’t punishing Lu Sheng; it’s an outright reward!
Indeed, Lu Sheng must face the invasion of the Giant Ape Kingdom, but merging the Lion King’s territory with Lu Sheng’s domain clearly offers Lu Sheng an opportunity to strengthen his power.
After all, in the Beast Realm, Exotic Beast advancement is closely related to territory size.
The larger the territory, the easier Exotic Beasts advance; powerful Giant Beast Kings often have vast domains in the Beast Realm.
They wished to say something but dared not refute.
Firstly, this matter was decided by the Beast King hosting the meeting, whose backing often includes the shadow of Tier Six managers from the meeting of kings. Their words are those managers’ words.
Secondly...
The strength that Lu Sheng just displayed also made them wary, not daring to contradict easily.
Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes. To be honest, this decision was somewhat surprising to him. This result was good for Lu Sheng.
Actually, even without this king’s meeting, Lu Sheng was already planning to incorporate the Lion King’s territory into his own domain.
Now with the decision of the king’s meeting, it saved him some trouble.
Lu Sheng looked at the Sandstone Scorpion King and found the other party smiling slightly at him.
It was clear that this decision was also fought for by the faction behind the Sandstone Scorpion King for him.
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng could not help but smile faintly.
"I didn’t expect the faction behind the Sandstone Scorpion King to value me so much. I wonder... once I grow, will they continue to value me or start to fear me?"
Lu Sheng thought to himself, filled with a sense of mockery.
Saying this, Lu Sheng gently shook his head, no longer paying attention to these matters.
For Lu Sheng, arguing with this group from the king’s meeting had little meaning. With this time, it’s better to focus on improving his strength.
As the Giant Beast King hosting the meeting revealed the decision, this king’s meeting was coming to an end.
After the conclusion, Lu Sheng returned to his territory, instructing his exotic beasts to go and take over the Lion King’s domain.
Due to the decision made by the king’s meeting, Lu Sheng’s process of taking over went very smoothly, without any obstacles.
Lu Sheng was happy about this, as it meant he could have more cultivation resources.
After taking over the Lion King’s domain, the first thing Lu Sheng did was gather all the cultivation resources accumulated by the Lion King over the years, using them for his own cultivation.
After refining all of the cultivation resources accumulated by the Lion King, Lu Sheng’s cultivation advanced from the mid-stage Tier Five to the late-stage Tier Five.
"Late-stage Tier Five already, indeed having a system panel means that as long as there are cultivation resources, I can bypass all bottlenecks and quickly enhance my cultivation."
"If it were any other guy cultivating the Celestial Demon Technique, they probably wouldn’t have become a giant beast in such a short time!"
Lu Sheng felt the powerful energy within his body and could not help but smile slightly.
"Late-stage Tier Five, getting closer to Tier Six. Once I become Tier Six... at that point, there won’t be many capable of threatening me in this Beast Realm."
"I might even be able to summon the power of my main body..."
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng slightly squinted his eyes, looking toward the sky.
"Although the world consciousness of the Beast Realm is at Tier Seven level... I have not noticed the presence of Tier Seven beings within the Beast Realm."
"Perhaps there are Tier Seven life forms in the Beast Realm, but for some unknown reason, they have left the realm."
"So... what could be the reason?"
Lu Sheng kept pondering in his heart.
"Entropy Nightmare Bloodline... Tier Seven that left... could there be some connection between these two?"
Lu Sheng spoke softly, a look of contemplation appearing in his eyes.
But soon, Lu Sheng gently shook his head.
"Forget it, regardless of the relationship between the departed Tier Seven beings and the Entropy Nightmare Bloodline, for me, the most important thing is to enhance my strength."
"Now that I’ve seized the Lion King’s domain, adjacent to my territory is the land of the Giant Ape Kingdom."
"Now, having the backing of the king’s meeting, there’s no need to fear the top Giant Beast Kings of the Giant Ape Kingdom. It’s an opportunity to make a move on their land!"
A gleam flashed in Lu Sheng’s eyes.
For an exotic beast to improve, the fastest way is to refine the bloodline of other exotic beasts. At Lu Sheng’s current stage, the quickest enhancement can only come from Giant Beast Kings of the same tier. Even the blood of the giants has little effect on improvements for Lu Sheng.
However, Lu Sheng cannot target the Giant Beast Kings in the king’s meeting, otherwise, even the faction behind the Sandstone Scorpion King won’t be able to protect him.
Thus, the best target... would be the beasts and Beast Kings from the Giant Ape Kingdom.
For the king’s meeting, Lu Sheng destroying beasts and Beast Kings from the Giant Ape Kingdom is beneficial.
Therefore...
His action against the Giant Ape Kingdom will naturally be backed by the king’s meeting, making him fearless!
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng smiled slightly, looking toward the direction of the Giant Ape Kingdom’s territory.
"Then... it’s from you that I will start!"
