Chapter 311: Demon King

“Your Excellency.”

Zhou Donghuang had generously chosen to spare them. Instead of killing them, he continued to walk towards the depths of the forest. Seeing this, the eagle beast’s eyes flashed uncertainly before he spoke up to remind Zhou Donghuang of the danger within.

“There are many Primordial Soul beasts in the forest, and some are rumored to be near the Divine Transformation stage. They could almost be said to be Divine Transformation adepts. If possible, I advise you to leave while you can. Although I’m unsure as to your reasons for entering the forest, I’m assuming it’s not as important as your life! It would be suicide to continue.”

Upon hearing the beast’s reminder, Zhou Donghuang glanced at it with a somewhat shocked look. However, without saying much, he continued on his journey.

As he walked, Zhou Donghuang muttered to himself, “Primordial Soul beasts that are nearing the Divine Transformation stage? How is that possible?

“Well, as long as they are not actually at the Divine Transformation stage yet, then with my abilities now, I will definitely be able to take them on!”

…

As Zhou Donghuang walked over and disappeared into the distance, the leopard beast, who had crawled up from the ground, glanced at the eagle beast and said coldly, “Why did you even bother giving that human a reminder? He nearly killed us both!

“Wouldn’t it be a good thing if he somehow died in the forest?”

As the leopard beast spoke, his eyes were filled with a vengeful and murderous look as he recalled the human who had almost killed him just now.

“Well, he didn’t kill us in the end, now did he?” The eagle beast did not seem fearful of the leopard beast and merely replied back casually.

“Think about how much time and effort you have spent training to be where you are today… If you had died just now, it would have all been lost just like that.

“The fact that he spared our lives is already something we should be extremely grateful for. Don’t forget that.”

Once he finished speaking, the eagle beast turned to leave, leaving the leopard beast behind who had chosen to stay put. His eyes flashed fiercely, and his face showed an intense and grave expression.

Of course, Zhou Donghuang was oblivious to all this going on.

Zhou Donghuang had now entered the depths of the forest, and he had not met with any other beasts who dared to provoke him because they were all low levels. They all ran away and did not dare to block his path. This made the already quiet environment seem even more silent.

“Hm?”

Eventually, Zhou Donghuang walked until he saw a wooden house, and he stopped in his tracks.

The wooden house was not big, and it looked rather carelessly built. However, since it had appeared out of nowhere, he was still rather curious about it.”

Creak…

Just as Zhou Donghuang was observing this wooden house, the door to the house opened, and an old man wearing brownish-green robes walked out from within.

Although the old man seemed to be extremely old and had a head of white hair, he was in extremely good spirits. Once he spotted Zhou Donghuang, his casual gaze became sharp and lit up.

At the same time, he began to analyze Zhou Donghuang’s surroundings, and he did not miss a single thing.

Zhou Donghuang could clearly sense that the old man was unleashing his inner Divine Will and probing the area around him as if he were searching for something.

“There’s no need to search further,” Zhou Donghuang glanced peacefully at the old man and said lightly.

“I’m here alone.”

He could obviously tell that the old man thought he had company and so was using his Divine Will to test this theory.

Swish!

Just as Zhou Donghuang had spoken, the old man gathered up his Divine Will and focused it on Zhou Donghuang instead.

“Hmph!”

Zhou Donghuang’s eyes narrowed at the hostile force of the old man’s Divine Will, and it looked like a layer of frost had appeared on his face. With a snort, an even stronger gust of Divine Will was unleashed from within Zhou Donghuang, and it clashed with the old man’s Divine Will.

Boom!

Two Divine Wills clashed.

Within a split second, Zhou Donghuang’s Divine Will easily destroyed that of the old man, and it even created a counterattack against the old man. Instantly, the old man’s faced changed to become as pale as a sheet.

His body trembled slightly before his face turned red. In the end, he could not help but spit out a huge mouthful of fresh blood.

The counterattack of Zhou Donghuang’s Divine Will only attacked the soul, but still, it had caused much damage to the old man’s body.

“A primordial… a late Primordial Soul adept!?”

When he looked at Zhou Donghuang, the old man’s face was full of shock and disbelief as if he had seen a ghost.

This young man was actually a late Primordial Soul adept?

“Bring me to meet the Demon King.”

Zhou Donghuang did not care much for the old man’s shock and spoke again.

In places where demons gathered, there would most likely be a Demon King.

In the past, when Zhou Donghuang met Big Gold and Little Gold on the Ziyun planet, they were the kings of the Lost Forest.

The old man before him was a demon at the Primordial Soul stage and was able to take on a human form. It was clear that he was probably able to battle the strongest demon in this forest to be able to live and stay here.

If not, he would either be hunted or killed.

At this point, the old man’s attitude towards Zhou Donghuang took on a 180-degree turn, and he became much more docile. “Yes, Your Excellency.”

To him, such a human definitely had good backing. It was thus possible that the “king” of this forest could also be no match for him. After all, he had not been able to resist Zhou Donghuang’s strength.

The old man thus had no choice but to obey Zhou Donghuang.

The old man led Zhou Donghuang on his way. Before they had gone too far, someone once again blocked their path.

This was a middle-aged man who had a big build.

Zhou Donghuang glanced at this middle-aged man and realized that he was indeed big, even bigger than Da Zhuang. With wide eyes, he glared at the old man who was leading Zhou Donghuang away and growled angrily. “You old fox, you dare bring a human in to invade my territory!? Do you think that I’ll leave you alone just because the Demon King favors you? In your dreams!”

Just as he had spoken, the tall middle-aged man unleashed his essential core and created a big and solid-looking great ape. It stood tall and proud like a mountain, looking glorious.

This was not a Dharma Power but rather a Primordial Soul Power.

This solid-looking great ape was erect like a mountain and looked like a veteran proudly fighting in battle.

Clearly, this Primordial Soul demon in the form of a middle-aged man was actually a great ape.

“Mid Primordial Soul stage.”

This Primordial Soul beast’s powers were clearly stronger than the old man’s. The old man was only at the early Primordial Soul stage, but this beast was actually at the mid Primordial Soul stage.

“What a fool.”

Faced with this threat, the old man merely looked the middle-aged man in the eye and said, “How dare you! You had best apologize to this man over here. If you anger him, he could easily blow your head off!”

“What did you say!?”

Once the middle-aged man heard the old man’s words, he froze before flying into a rage. His originally violent glare turned even more intense, and anger visibly radiated off him.

“He is merely a small human. I could kill him with one palm just like I do with mosquitoes! He is nothing compared to me!”

The old man’s emotions seemed to have intensified with the old man’s words. After shouting aloud, he quickly changed into his great ape form and upgraded his Great Ape Primordial Soul Power to become stronger.

“Roar!”

With a loud growl, the great ape raised its hands and, as promised, used a palm to strike Zhou Donghuang.

This slap was fierce and violent, aiming directly for Zhou Donghuang’s head.

Seeing this, the old man felt uneasy in his heart.

Faced with this attack by the great ape, Zhou Donghuang did not flinch at all. Just as the great ape’s palm was about to land on his head, the essential core within him was then unleashed in one go like a giant wave.

A huge and solid figure appeared and almost instantly took to the skies of the forest, enlarging itself in the process.

This was clearly a giant tiger.

The Great Ape Primordial Soul Power used its palm to slap Zhou Donghuang’s White Tiger Primordial Soul Power. The area surrounding these two Primordial Soul Powers immediately trembled with their force. The white tiger growled ferociously and unleashed a terrifying amount of essential core. Instantly, it was able to easily defeat the great ape.

It did not take long at all.

The moment the great ape was defeated, the middle-aged man’s figure once again appeared. However, this time, he collapsed to the ground with a thud. When he looked up at Zhou Donghuang, his eyes were filled with fear. “A beast at the ultimate Primordial Soul stage!?”

Whoosh!

At the same time, the middle-aged man’s figure began to fade out, and it was replaced by a giant black ape that was more than 10 meters tall. On the great ape’s head, there was a tuft of silvery-white hair that was extremely eye-catching.

At this point, the look that the great ape gave Zhou Donghuang was one full of fright.

“He is not a beast; he is just a human.”

A voice that was full of vigor and strength rang out, and out of nowhere, another figure had silently appeared at the scene.

Of course, Zhou Donghuang was aware of the arrival of this figure for some time now, unlike the great ape and the old man.

“Your Excellency.”

Seeing the arrival of this figure, the sly and triumphant look in the old man’s eyes disappeared and was replaced by a look of awe. He then kneeled to the ground entirely, and he even pressed his face to the ground as well.

“Your Excellency.”

“Your Excellency.”

…

Other human-based figures who had arrived at the scene also followed suit and knelt to the ground out of respect for the figure floating in the sky.

Out of these people, there was a teenage boy, a young girl, an old woman and a pretty woman.

“Your Excellency, didn’t you say that he was a king? But… his Primordial Soul Power is a beast! How can that be?” the injured giant ape cried out with some level of disbelief.

“A human is also able to have a beast Primordial Soul Power. But the human must first be very talented.”

In the skies, a middle-aged man who was wearing long silver robes held a folding fan in his hand. He had on an elegant yet strict look on his face, and he looked at the giant ape with indifference before speaking unhurriedly.

“I’ve let you down, Your Excellency.”

The great ape struggled to kneel. His body was damaged from his fight with Zhou Donghuang; he was weak and trembling. Nevertheless, he forced himself to kneel and ignored the fresh blood dripping from his body.

At the same time, the gaze in the middle-aged man’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and it landed on the old man, who had been leading the way for Zhou Donghuang. He casually said, “Did you plan to use this man to kill Fang Yuan?

“Are you overlooking the rules that I’ve set? Or perhaps… You do not care much for the words that I’ve said?”

The tone that the silver-robed, middle-aged man used was enough to make anyone feel instant regret.

“Your Excellency, I’ve… I’ve made a huge mistake.”

The old man, who was kneeling on the ground, shook visibly from his fear, and even his voice trembled as he spoke.
