Chapter 583

Fei Fei, Sylph, Bing Ling, and Bis.h.i.+ still can’t deal with reality even when it presented the beast king in front of them . Wu Yan, Hinagiku, Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki, and the other ladies had dark expressions, their muscles also tensed up .

<hr>

They can read basic information about the person resting on his throne of bones .

Beast King: Level 90

A beast king, he looks humanoid but he’s a beast king alright .

Hinagiku, Mikoto, and Shokuhou Misaki looked at each other, a mixture of emotions flashed in their eyes . They didn’t expect to see the threat suggested by the Board to actually exist . The beast king is before them but they still can’t wrap their heads around the idea of a humanoid monster .

Then again, this should have been possible . Lei w.a.n.g said the Beast King had human-like intelligence . To complete its metamorphosis process, it needed to shed its original form and take on a shape more suitable for cultivation purposes .

Is there a better physique to cultivate than the one humans possess?

In a way, humans are blessed by this world . Although they can’t live as long as demonic beasts, they can cultivate to a similar level in a much shorter time compared to monsters . Demonic beasts have to endure centuries, if not thousands of years of cultivation to reach peak form . Humans also encounter less obstacles when breaking through into higher tiers .

Luck plays a more important role in monsters . If they are born with poor apt.i.tude then they can kiss high tiers goodbye the moment they are born . Meanwhile, demonic beasts that are more fortunate, in this case, where their parents are high tier creatures, they would be born with a high base tier .

But, even then, bloodline can only get them to tier 9 . To proceed further, they have to figure out how to transform into a human .

Furthermore, in novels and films, creatures that lived long enough usually take on a humanoid or semi-humanoid form as proof of ascension into a higher plane . They should have taken this into consideration when they set out to find the Beast King .

For Wu Yan & co who lived in modern times, for Fei Fei and her retinue who has never seen a beast king before, this concept of a monster in human form seemed rather foreign to them .

The one sitting upon the throne of bones opened his eyes . He used his black eyes to scan over the area Wu Yan & co are standing at . When his gaze fell upon them, they felt like somebody a.s.saulted them with an invisible knife . They actually got hurt by its line of vision!

Wu Yan felt a bad feeling in his guts . When he was about turn towards Hinagiku, a deep voice came from the Beast King .

“So you came… Show yourselves…”

The Beast King continued looking in their direction . They are already discovered by the Beast King .

Fei Fei, Sylph, Bing Ling, and Bis.h.i.+ are still wavering, they are trying to gauge if this creature is bluffing . Wu Yan’s heart started racing . He’s aware of the Beast King’s ident.i.ty so he was the one who is confident that their covers were blown .

Wu Yan clenched his fists and he suppressed his trembling heart . He didn’t notice that he clenched so hard his palm turned cold and pale .

He is intimidated by the fact that he’s about to face a demiG.o.d-tier opponent for the first time, that and he’s slightly excited as well .

He calmed himself down . He recalled the insurance he brought with him and he steeled himself up before he removed the cloak of invisibility .

Fourteen figures appeared out of nowhere . The beast king showed a look of intrigue when they appeared slowly after undoing their stealth . The creature mused by itself .

Have humans already advanced far enough to develop wondrous items like these?

“Interesting…”

He nonchalantly started a conversation with them . His voice a.s.saulted their brains like a hammer, a heavy feeling emanated with the beast king as the center . Fear appeared on the squad leaders’ faces .

“Onii-chan…”

Flandre-chan grabbed Wu Yan’s s.h.i.+rt . She is taking the beast king very seriously as her eyes never left the creature . Flandre-chan’s heart is telling her that this person is very terrifying, she should not share the same s.p.a.ce as this lifeform in front of her .

Ikaros also turned grim, destroying her posed countenance . She got closer to Wu Yan so she can reduce the reaction time needed to protect Wu Yan . It also helped that Wu Yan can alleviate the feeling of suppression she’s getting from the beast king .

Hinagiku, Mikoto, Astrea, Shokuhou Misaki, Kinuhata Saiai, Frenda, and Takitsubou Rikou huddled together as they stuck closer to Wu Yan, they did this subconsciously . This showed that the beast king gave the girls an immense amount of stress .

“I am very curious…”

The beast king glanced over everyone . Besides, Flandre-chan and Ikaros, the others all looked away to avoid the beast king’s gaze . Wu Yan relied on his True Ancestor’s innate highborn pride to endure the feeling of suppression . However, he’s still a bit affected as could be seen from his slightly awkward expression .
