Chapter 276: Slaying the Chieftain, Monkey King's Offspring, Late Stage Tier 3, and the Furious Monkey King!
Lu Sheng saw the wings behind the monkey leader and immediately understood.
"Is it a special ability evolved from devouring the Bloodline Power of that old eagle?"
"Judging by this guy's appearance... he's about to break through to Tier Four!"
Lu Sheng's gaze fell upon the monkey leader, and he could clearly feel the aura of the monkey leader nearly reaching the critical point of Tier Three.
In just a matter of days, he might break through to Tier Four.
However...
Even if he reached the critical point of Tier Three, as long as he hasn't broken through Tier Four, the gap between them... is still vast!
Lu Sheng's lips curled into a slight smile, issuing a provocative sound towards the monkey leader below.
In response to the ridicule from the monkey group towards him a week ago.
Upon hearing Lu Sheng's mocking tone, the monkey leader's face surged with anger, frantically beating his chest.
He let out furious roars, and the next moment, his wings vibrated, taking him skyward as he charged at Lu Sheng.
Seeing this, a hint of joy appeared in Lu Sheng's eyes.
For Lu Sheng, even though his combat experience was extraordinary, he couldn't possibly sweep through the entire monkey group.
But... dealing with just the monkey leader was no challenge for Lu Sheng.
In an instant, flames filled with endless poison burst forth from Lu Sheng's mouth.
Rolling waves of heat surged.
The two instantly clashed.
Boom boom!!
Explosions roared across the sky, accompanied by powerful surges of energy.
Even though the monkey leader had peak Tier Three cultivation, facing the intrinsic Tier Seven Lu Sheng, coupled with Lu Sheng's battle experience, couldn't be compared to these newly intelligent beings.
In mere exchanges, the monkey leader was forcefully suppressed by Lu Sheng.
Bam!!!
Lu Sheng's tail struck hard on the monkey leader, the powerful force made the tail seem like steel, whipping on the monkey, leaving ferocious blood marks.
"Zee zee zee!!"
The monkey leader let out a series of painful cries, screeching as if wanting the monkeys within the mountain stream to come to his aid.
But...
They could fly, but the other monkeys in the group couldn't do that at all.
Faced with this situation, even if the monkey group wanted to help, each one stood by scratching their ears and cheeks, looking very anxious but powerless.
Helpless, the monkey leader could only give up fighting in the air with Lu Sheng and prepare to rush into the mountain stream, where with the help of other monkeys, not even Lu Sheng could survive.
However...
How could Lu Sheng let him go?
Such a crude method, Lu Sheng saw through it at a glance.
Boom boom!!!
Another mass of flames roared out, green flames with intense corrosiveness suddenly fell on the monkey leader.
The strong corrosiveness made the monkey leader's flesh begin to melt bit by bit, no matter how large the body, it couldn't withstand the erosion of the Power of Poison Fire.
The next moment, Lu Sheng charged fiercely at the monkey leader, biting down directly onto the monkey leader's neck.
Blood... instantly entered Lu Sheng's mouth.
Lu Sheng quickly operated the Dragon Transformation Technique, continuously devouring the monkey leader's blood, opening his mouth repeatedly, biting down.
In just a matter of seconds, the monkey leader, already suffering from the erosion of the Power of Poison Fire, succumbed to Lu Sheng's relentless bites, eventually dying.
The body, was devoured bit by bit by Lu Sheng in midair.
Massive energy rampaged inside Lu Sheng, fortifying his body while his gaze fell upon the monkey group.
"These... are excellent nourishment!"
Lu Sheng gently spoke, then swooping down towards the group of monkeys.
Suddenly diving in, he stomped two monkeys to death, then continued his massacre against the nearby monkeys.
In an instant, the entire mountain valley turned chaotic with Lu Sheng's slaughter.
After consecutively killing seven Tier Three monkeys, Lu Sheng once again rushed up to face another monkey.
However, this monkey seemed different from the others, obviously only Tier Three level, yet its stature was like the previous monkey leader, towering four to five meters tall.
Though not as imposing as the monkey leader, its combat strength was far superior to the average Tier Three monkeys.
"Zee zee zee!!"
The monkey's face showed panic, continuously screeching, seemingly warning Lu Sheng of something.
In the Beast Realm, exotic beasts communicate by intertwining the energy waves within them, and at this moment, the monkey before Lu Sheng is clearly communicating with him.
"My father is the Monkey King of the largest monkey troop in this area. If you kill me, my father won't spare you!"
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing the monkey's words, Lu Sheng's brow slightly twitched as he carefully observed the monkey before him.
"It really is somewhat different from other monkeys. The offspring of the Monkey King, huh?"
Lu Sheng squinted his eyes, seemingly pondering something, while the monkey kept speaking during this time.
"My father is already a giant beast-level powerhouse. If you kill me, there will be no place for you to hide in this entire forest!"
Hearing this, Lu Sheng's heart moved slightly.
Giant beast!
That title is only used for exotic beasts that have reached the fourth tier.
Exotic beasts after the fourth tier have extremely large bodies, and even smaller-sized races will see their physiques grow wildly once they cross into the fourth tier.
The smallest have tens of meters in length.
As for those exotic beasts that were already large, reaching the giant beast level makes them even more terrifying.
"Fourth-tier Monkey King, huh? As expected, the monkeys in this area have developed a tribal form. I thought it was only the troop within the valley, but it turns out... the whole area is territory of monkey tribes."
"However... so what?"
Lu Sheng smiled indifferently, and in response to the monkey's fearful gaze, he suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed the monkey whole.
"Giant Beast? It won't be long before I can become a giant beast too, and by then... that so-called Monkey King should serve as my advancement's nourishment!"
Lu Sheng smiled slightly.
Such an existence as a giant beast might have immense deterrent power over other exotic beasts, as it represents oppression between life levels.
But to Lu Sheng, it is not worth his concern at all.
After devouring the Monkey King's offspring, Lu Sheng swallowed the corpses of the monkeys he had slain earlier one by one.
This caused Lu Sheng's belly to rapidly swell.
From afar, it looked like a round ball.
Consuming so many exotic beasts in succession caused Lu Sheng's weight to increase crazily, to the extent that even his wings on his back seemed tiny, unable to carry him.
Lu Sheng felt a bit helpless, and then relied on his four limbs to leave the valley. He initially intended to return to the previous cave, but since crossing into the third tier, the cave now seemed cramped.
After consuming so many exotic beasts, Lu Sheng's size expanded even further, making the previous cave less suitable.
Harnessing his strong perception, Lu Sheng found a safe place, then crouched down and commenced the Dragon Transformation Technique, digesting the exotic beast bloodline within him.
...
Come nightfall, under the night sky, Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and a powerful aura surged from his body.
By the bright moonlight, one could see that Lu Sheng's scales had become significantly more splendid.
Even his flesh grew from five meters to a current length of ten meters.
The wings on his back also strengthened considerably, and if fully spread, they could reach a frightening twenty meters!
"Late third tier!"
Feeling the energy fluctuations within, Lu Sheng smiled slightly.
"Eating so many monkey exotic beasts directly elevated my cultivation from early third tier to late third tier."
"Now... if facing the monkey leader again, I wouldn't even need to waste much time. I could finish him off instantly!"
"The state I'm in right now..."
Lu Sheng looked over his body with a smile.
"It somewhat resembles the dragons from Western countries' legends during Earth's old era."
"The Dragon Transformation Technique appropriately matches my current body."
Lu Sheng chuckled.
Meanwhile, as Lu Sheng broke through to the late third tier, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from a valley over a hundred kilometers from the gorge.
Roar roar roar roar!!!
The terrifying sound waves echoed within the valley, as if the entire valley vibrated with the sound, causing numerous stones to tumble down from the valley's highest point.
"Who was it!! Who killed my child!!"
The energy sound waves laced with anger spread instantly over several dozen kilometers.
"Regardless of who it is, I will kill them! To dare kill my son, I will make you... wish you were dead!!"
In the midst of angry cries, a gigantic monkey towering several tens of meters suddenly charged out of the valley, its voice echoing across the heavens and earth, causing countless exotic beasts to prostrate themselves.
"Find them! Find the one who killed my son, I will wrench their spine out!!"
The Monkey King's angry voice reverberated across the heavens and earth, promptly followed by countless exotic beasts charging out of the valley.
