In the sun-drenched valley, the atmosphere was unusually oppressive. Led by the Wolf King, several beast kings, each leading their territories' fifth-tier magical beasts, glared menacingly at the newcomers.
If Su Qian were to give a careless answer now, a fierce battle would be inevitable. Under these circumstances, Lin Feng stepped forward slightly and uttered a startling question.
"I wonder if you kings are confident that you can advance to the Dou Zong realm, the seventh tier, in your long remaining years?"
"Roar!"
"You brat, are you really not afraid of death? I'll tear you apart today! Even the old Dou Zong in front of you can't stop me!"
A furious lion's roar rang out. Lin Feng looked towards the sound and saw a gigantic figure, over thirty feet long, roaring to the sky. If it weren't for the protection of Elder Su Qian's spatial barrier, Lin Feng's eardrums would have been shaken.
"Heh," Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then, to Elder Su Qian's surprise, slowly flew out of the barrier.
"Lin Feng!"
He waved to Zi Yan behind him, indicating that she didn't need to worry, and slowly flew to a stop not far from the Lion King. This distance was just right; any further and it would trigger the nerves of the magical beasts, and it was also within Su Qian's protective range.
Of course, Lin Feng, who had already reached the peak of the five-star Dou Wang realm, was not afraid of this Lion King, who was only at the early stage of the sixth rank. With his various methods, even if he was no match for it, Lin Feng could easily get away.
"I wonder if the Lion King has the courage to fight me."
For magical beasts, only strength is the basis of communication, so Lin Feng stepped forward and chose to attack the Lion King, who was the weakest and most easily angered among the sixth rank beasts.
"Roar!"
"You ignorant human, today I will tear you apart!"
Before the Wolf King and the others could react, a huge amount of energy condensed in its ferocious maw, and the enormous energy made the surrounding magical beasts tremble with fear. A few moments later, a massive pillar of energy shot towards Lin
Feng
, accompanied by a powerful energy pressure. Lin Feng stood rooted to the spot, without a single thought of dodging.
Firstly, Zi Yan and Elder Su Qian were right behind him. Although Elder Su Qian's cultivation level meant he didn't need to defend himself, a true man faces things head-on. Secondly, even if he managed to outmaneuver or even win by dodging, he wouldn't earn the respect of these demonic beasts. It might even backfire.
More importantly, he came here to solidify his foundation through continuous battles, so he could quickly advance to the peak of the Dou Wang realm using elixirs!
Remembering the power of the True Dragon Body Refining Technique, Lin Feng directly transformed his Dou Qi into armor and lunged at the energy pillar with a powerful
"Iron Mountain Lean."
A huge explosion resounded, blasting Lin Feng at least a hundred meters away. However, when the smoke cleared, the demonic beasts saw that his armor was completely unharmed.
The Lion King was enraged. A mere fifth-tier insignificant ant dared to hop around in front of him, let alone rely on the protection of the Dou Zong elder. He had emerged unscathed from his furious attack.
If he didn't severely injure him today, how could he maintain his supreme authority in his territory? He was, after all, the weakest of the kings, barely holding onto his position.
Thinking this, the Lion King grew even more furious, relentlessly bombarding Lin Feng with energy cannons, only to be effortlessly blocked by Lin Feng.
Just as the Lion King was about to continue his attack, Lin Feng flapped his wings, suddenly appearing before him, choosing to confront him head-on with his weakest physique. A heavy punch, imbued with Dou Qi, slammed into the Lion King's back, forcing him back dozens of meters.
This attack was nothing to the Lion King, but it deeply insulted him, driving him into a rage.
"Arrogant brat, since you've chosen death, don't blame me for disrespecting Canaan Academy!"
the Lion King roared, unleashing a storm of claws that slammed into Lin Feng's battle armor. Lin Feng withstood the powerful blow, letting out a muffled groan and a trickle of blood from his mouth.
However, a hint of joy flashed across his face. He could clearly sense the True Dragon Body Refining Technique circulating continuously, his physical strength rapidly increasing.
"No wonder some people find this technique incredibly powerful while others struggle like mudfish; it requires battle to improve! Perhaps this battle will raise my physical strength to the level of a fifth-tier magical beast."
Thinking this, Lin Feng quickly took out a healing pill from his storage ring and swallowed it. A blow from a sixth-tier magical beast was not easy to withstand.
Lin Feng naturally couldn't let this attack go to waste. Seizing an opportunity, he unleashed a continuous barrage of Xuan-rank combat techniques—the Vajra Finger. He had been careless; a punch without a combat technique was nothing more than a tickle to the Lion King.
"Roar!"
Even with the physical strength of a sixth-rank magical beast, enduring Lin Feng's ferocious combo was enough to draw blood. The Lion King opened its blood-red maw, its foul breath forcing Lin Feng to retreat. Then, it roared to the sky.
"Lion Clan Secret Technique—Lion King Wave!"
As this powerful sonic wave was unleashed, the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) visibly became chaotic. The air itself seemed to shatter, forming countless terrifying, invisible sharp blades that shot straight towards Lin Feng.
Seeing this, Zi Yan's expression tightened, and she quickly pulled Su Qian away. The Wolf King also leaped into the air, leading numerous magical beasts to isolate Su Qian from the battlefield.
"Elder, there's no need to worry. We're just about to use this pressure to break through!"
Just as Su Qian was about to make a forceful move, Lin Feng's voice suddenly reached his ears. Remembering how Lin Feng had used a barrier technique during the battle against the Ironclad Sect, allowing him to withstand Luo Nuetian's life-burning attack unscathed, Su Qian instead began to restrain the numerous magical beasts.
Just as the sonic blade was about to strike Lin Feng, several ancient, primordial voices rang out, causing the magical beasts to involuntarily lower themselves, as if subjected to some immense suppression.
The Lion King, facing them head-on, was even more vulnerable; if not for its powerful sixth-tier magical beast body, it would likely have collapsed to its knees.
"What... what is this thing? I am the Lion King!"
Struggling to its feet, the Lion King's face was filled with ferocity, its eyes bloodshot, and its body rapidly expanded, growing to nearly thirty feet tall in just a few moments.
"I'll tear you apart!"
The Lion King's berserk body radiated a powerful blood-red aura, its skin hardening like iron. Even standing still, it was impervious to damage from ordinary Battle Kings.
"It seems the essence of the Five Elements Sacred Beasts is still lacking, perhaps only superficially similar. Otherwise, this Lion King would have been crushed to dust in an instant."
The berserk Lion King's rapid charge left cracks in the earth.
"Arrogant brat, prepare to die!"
