311 Demon King (1/2)

”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...

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.
