Chapter 848: Preparing to Attack the South

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations  Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

There were countless tribes in the plains, and the Steel Lion Kingdom dominated over them. The leader of the Steel Lion Kingdom called himself the Heavenly Lion King—a descendant of the ancient Heavenly Lion—and was revered by the people in the plains.

Therefore, the Steel Lion Kingdom was actually the merger of countless tribes. Other than the Heavenly Lion King who was the leader of the Steel Lion Kingdom, Prince Zuoxian and Prince Youxian were the leaders of the Goshawk Tribe and Heavenly Wolf Tribe respectively. They had always been the most powerful people aside from the Heavenly Lion King.

The man who was called Prince Youxian was three meters tall and covered in thick body hair all over. He was so hairy that one could not see his actual appearance clearly. Prince Youxian was the leader of the Heavenly Wolf Tribe. When he heard what the other man said, Prince Youxian replied coldly, “The Krieg royal family has obstructed us from attacking south on multiple occasions, killing our tribe’s warriors. It’s really detestable that I’m unable to kill him personally.”

The man with a Divine Hawk on his shoulder was the leader of the Goshawk Tribe—the Steel Lion Kingdom’s Prince Zuoxian. His height did not reach 1.7 meters, and when he stood before Prince Youxian, he appeared even shorter.

However, a gleam shone in his eyes, and the light around him became distorted, revealing a great level of cultivation.

Additionally, the Divine Hawk that rested on his shoulder seemed very handsome. As it looked around, all of the Kingdom’s generals felt as if they were sitting on needles.

Prince Zuoxian said, “Although the Krieg royal family has already been wiped out, Sinkodati still has several Divine level experts. Their Imperial Preceptor, Fang Xingjian, has the name of Sword Overlord. His sword arts dominate over the southwest, and he isn’t to be underestimated.”

Prince Youxian revealed a look of disdain. “They are but a useless bunch. As long as the King gives his permission, I’ll be able to annihilate them single-handedly.”

Prince Zuoxian smiled and did not refute this. He merely said, “Everyone knows how valiant Prince Youxian is.”

However, Prince Zuoxian knew that although Prince Youxian seemed impulsive and reckless, it was just a facade that he put up. Prince Youxian would definitely not take the people in the south as lightly as he said.

After all, he was just saying this so that he could bring up the morale of the people in the palace in preparation for the attack to the south.

At the thought of this, Prince Zuoxian’s eyes narrowed slightly. He sighed inwardly and said, “It seems that the King has made up his mind. Otherwise, this blockhead wouldn’t have brought this up so early.”

Just as everyone in the palace was having discussions, a loud bellow rang out. The Heavenly Lion King had arrived.

Everyone felt an invisible pressure coming down. The sunlight distorted, and the space trembled. Faintly, there seemed to be a lion with golden fur and hide that seemed to be made of gold bellowing furiously in void space.

Then an immense golden light shone down from the skies. When everyone regained their senses, a blurry human figure was already seated on the throne.

At the appearance of the human figure, everyone was stunned. Ever since the world’s metamorphosis began, the Heavenly Lion King’s cultivation had improved in leaps and bounds, becoming increasingly deeper and unfathomable by the day.

Two months ago, he was surrounded by distorted light rays and space, appearing even more blurry than before. It was said that this was because his martial will had grown too quickly and violently. It was to an extent that they scattered out around his body, causing the space to become unstable.

However, he now appeared slightly clearer than before. This did not mean that his martial will had deteriorated but that his control over his martial will had become greater. Thus, he was on the verge of attaining a breakthrough.

Prince Youxian bowed and said, “Congratulations to Your Majesty. It won’t be long before you break through the sixth Heavenly Barrier.”
