Invincible Martial King

The tall trees pierced through the clouds, and the gigantic tree trunk cast a large shadow. In the depths of the Devil Cloud Mountain Range, whether it was the vegetation or the demonic beasts, their bodies were all several times larger than the ones outside.    

An extremely agile figure pushed off the tree trunk with his toes. Like a spring, the figure shot out several meters and flew away at an extremely fast speed.    

He was bare-chested, and although there were no prominent muscles in his upper body, the contours of his body were very clear. There seemed to be an explosive force hidden within his body, giving off a strong sense of strength with every movement of his hand.    

There was a smile on his face as he concentrated on his surroundings, ready to attack at any moment.    

Even the third level Demonic Beast of the Overlord Level could be vaguely seen. Lu Chen did not dare to have any carelessness, and carefully hid the aura of his own Human Clan.    

Unless he was confident that he could resolve the battle quickly, Lu Chen did not plan to act rashly. This was because once the situation was at a stalemate, it would attract more attacks from demon beasts. Unlike the surroundings, the demon beasts here were more bloodthirsty and brutal, and they also had a stronger territorial awareness.    

After a moment, Lu Chen stopped. In front of him was a small lake, and the fluctuations of spirit energy coming from the plants on the shore caught his attention.    

"Eh? Medium-grade Spirit Grass, Immortal Phoenix Grass!" Lu Chen's eyes lit up. Medial Grade Spirit Grass was worth a lot in the eyes of ordinary warriors, but in his eyes, it was not much, but the value of the Immortal Phoenix Grass was not inferior to the High-grade Spiritual Herb. No matter what kind of Pill one refined, as long as one added a little more, it could improve the quality of a Pill.    

"He really did get something cheap." Since they had run into each other, Lu Chen would not leave empty-handed. In the center of the mountain, other than the stronger beasts, there were also many rare spirit herbs. Other than some of the spirit herbs that were guarded by the beasts, the amount of spirit herbs that he had gotten from Zhao Liu's Storage Ring Finger was no less.    

"This seems to be the territory of some powerful magical beast." Lu Chen was not reckless. When he slowly approached, he found that the area was very weird. It was so quiet that there were no sounds of insects or birds.    

"Boom!" Suddenly, there was a clap of thunder. "At some point, heavy clouds had formed in the sky, as black as ink and as black as ink. The shadow it cast was enormous, with Hu Po as the center, covering thousands of feet in area.    

Among them, the faint sound of sizzling lightning could be heard. It was as if a heavenly blade was hanging over one's head, ready to strike at any moment to unleash the most deadly and terrifying attack.    

"This is …" Noticing the movement above his head, Lu Chen's expression became serious. Although his Devil Cloud Mountain Range was strange, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. The clouds were as thick as ink, and in a short period of time, the area had expanded from three hundred meters to three thousand meters, and soon covered half of the sky. Thunder rumbled within, as if a deity was roaring, causing many magical beasts to roar in anger.    

"Hua!" Ripples appeared on the surface of the calm lake. The Stone Hill beside the lake trembled and all the trees shook, scattering down quite a few leaves.    

Earthquake?    

"This is bad!" Lu Chen suddenly woke up and was about to run away subconsciously. Suddenly, his body stiffened, and an imposing manner erupted like a volcano, engulfing everything in every direction.    

Heaven-toppling!    

It covered the sky and covered the mountains and rivers.    

"Hiss!" A low but loud hissing sound could be heard as a mountain-sized magical beast rushed out. Its entire body was pure gold, and its feathers were as hard as steel. Its wings stretched out for nearly a hundred zhang. Its golden eyes were cold and emotionless as they swept through everything in the world before finally stopping on a thick lead cloud.    

"Prehistoric Variant, Golden Great Roc!" Lu Chen had extraordinary experience, so he immediately recognized this magical beast. If he had known that this would happen, he definitely wouldn't have barged in just for a few stalks of Immortal Phoenix Grass.    

But now it was too late to regret.    

His body tensed, and he was prepared to unleash his full strength using the Arcane Arts. This golden Great Roc gave him a very dangerous feeling, it had already reached the level of a level four Demonic Beast. Furthermore, if his judgement was not wrong, it was a complete primordial beast, even an expert who had surpassed the Innate Martial Master Level might not be its opponent.    

"I was too careless. I actually trespassed into its territory." Lu Chen could only smile bitterly. Although this magical beast had yet to discover him, any movement he made would be noticed by it. Right now, he was stuck in a dilemma.    

Boom!" Suddenly, there was a clap of thunder. It was unknown when thick, leaden clouds condensed in the sky. The pitch-black image was about to collapse the sky, and the shadow it cast was incomparably huge. With Hu Po as the center, it covered over thousands of zhang in area.    

"Boom, boom, boom …" Feeling the overflowing imposing aura of the Golden Winged Great Roc, the lightning in the lead cloud seemed to have received a provocation, as if it would strike down with a berserk imposing manner in the next second.    

"Roar!" The Golden Winged Great Roc's eyes were cold, as if it was responding to something. Its size was enormous, and its feathers were even harder than steel. At this moment, its aura rose once again. It was at its peak state.    

Because Lu Chen had restrained his aura, he did not discover the aura of his Human Clan.    

"Tss tss …" Cloud's entire body was as black as ink. Within the thunder and lightning, there was a purple light mixed within, and the originally terrifying aura was increased by three points.    

"Could it be that it is undergoing a tribulation?" Looking at this scene, Lu Chen suddenly remembered a rumor. Therefore, every time he broke through, he would encounter a great calamity, and if he succeeded in transcending tribulation, he would transform into an even more terrifying existence, but if he failed, he would be seriously injured, and he would die on the spot.    

Although he was a Martial Emperor Expert in his previous life, he did not interact much with beasts.    

Lu Chen's expression was extremely solemn. The gathered energy in the sky was constantly increasing. Although the Golden Winged Great Roc's aura was also extremely terrifying, could it really transform successfully under such a vast heavenly might?    

No matter what, he had to find a way to leave this place as soon as possible.    

"Swoosh!" As if it could feel the abnormality of the leaden clouds in the sky, the Golden Winged Great Roc's eyes were like divine lights, bringing with it a domineering and fearless look. At this moment, it was as if it had turned into a prehistoric giant beast, not concealing its surging battle intent.    

"If we get sucked into the shockwave, we'll be in trouble." Lu Chen pondered for a moment and planned to carefully retreat. Although he had never experienced the power of this heavenly tribulation before, the aura that was leaking out at this moment was shocking to him.    

"The clouds suddenly churned, tearing open a hole, as if the firmament had opened its huge eyes." Boom! A streak of lightning flashed past. The sky was as bright as day.    

The cries of the Golden Winged Great Roc became even deeper. Its entire body was shining with a faint luster, and it did not retreat in the slightest when faced with the lightning. It opened its sharp mouth and shot out a beam of light that was even more glaring than lightning.    

"Boom …" "Boom …" In the time it took for a spark to fly off of a piece of flint, the two beams of light fiercely collided with each other. The earth shook and the mountains shook.    

Chapter 45    

Crossing tribulation, fighting to the death!    

"Swoosh!"    

The lightning shattered and the Golden Winged Great Roc let out a clear cry of victory. As if provoked, the cloud became more solid. Without waiting for the magical beast to show off its might, a thunderbolt that was hotter than fire came crashing down like a heavenly blade, bringing with it a devastating aura.    

BOOM!    

"Boom, boom, boom …"    

The eyes of the Golden Winged Great Roc were burning with passion, emitting an endless amount of fighting intent. Kengqiang sounds continuously rang out. Feathers harder than steel shot out. Each feather was like a sharp sword piercing through the sky, densely packed and overwhelming.    

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen secretly nodded his head. This magical beast's strength was indeed terrifying. Against heavenly tribulation, not only was it tit for tat, it was not afraid at all. With just this kind of power, if it could successfully overcome the heavenly tribulation, its strength would increase greatly.    

The lightning transformed into a blue waterfall and the feathers into a golden torrent. One blue and one gold, the two terrifying torrents clashed violently.    

"Zi zi", the thunderous sound was like a dam breaking and the thunderous sound was endless. The golden Great Roc's aura was overflowing, but how could it withstand the might of the heavens so easily?    

The lightning waterfall rushed through the golden torrent, and in the next second, it landed on the golden Great Roc's body. "Pu", body that was harder than steel, a wound appeared under the sky-blade-like lightning.    

The Golden Winged Great Roc was like a reef, unyielding despite being struck by lightning. Its golden eyes were incomparably sharp, and with a "hu" sound, it spread its wings, casting a large shadow on the ground.    

Violent winds whistled, thunder surged, and the giant golden creature rushed into the sky, fiercely piercing into the depths of the cloud.    

The sound of the tribulation was extremely loud, causing the magical beasts to not pay too much attention to it. At the same time, the two figures nearby discovered it.    

"This heavenly might, could it be a high level magical beast undergoing heavenly tribulation?" An old man raised his head, revealing a serious expression on his wrinkled face.    

"Grandfather, is that Devil Ape undergoing her tribulation?"    

"Based on my inquiries, isn't it a late-Fourth Order magical beast? Could it be that there was a mistake in the information? " Beside him, a girl frowned.    

"Yun'er need not worry, even if the Devil Ape were to advance, it would only require a bit more effort. Moreover, the tribulation is not to be trifled with, even the strongest magical beasts do not have a 100% certainty of passing."    

"If it really is that Devil Ape, then we can take this opportunity to kill it and refine its blood essence into a Pill to help your brother remove the strange poison."    

The old man's gaze was deep and his tone was strong and confident.    

"But grandfather has never heard of a demon beast's blood essence being able to improve the quality of Pill, and it's even this violent blood essence of Devil Ape."    

"Great Master Gu and I have a deep friendship, his words naturally have a lot of meaning." The old man frowned, full of the doubts of the young lady.    

… ….    

Boom!" Suddenly, there was a clap of thunder. It was unknown when thick, leaden clouds condensed in the sky. The pitch-black image was about to collapse the sky, and the shadow it cast was incomparably huge. With Hu Po as the center, it covered over thousands of zhang in area.    

"Boom …" "Boom …"    

The cloud was like boiling water. A shadow could be vaguely seen. It kept moving for a while. Finally, there was a loud bang. The dazzling light illuminated everything in the world.    

"Crunch." The claws of the two metal plates crushed the rocks on the ground, and the golden Great Roc was covered in blood, firmly landing on the peak of the Stone Hill.    

"What a pity." Sighing, Lu Chen shook his head. Although the Golden Winged Great Roc was incomparably strong, it was still lacking a bit. The heavenly tribulation had dispersed, but his own injuries were very severe, if nothing unexpected happened, he would very likely not be able to hold on for long.    

He planned to leave just like that and not provoke this kind of magical beast. It wasn't that he was afraid, but that he didn't want to easily get into trouble.    

Under the same realm, demon beasts were stronger than Human Clan warriors.    

This Golden Winged Great Roc had already reached the peak of the Fourth Level Devil Beast, and even the experts in Ninth Layer Of Innate Martial Master were not its opponent. It was true that it had its methods to defeat the other party, but this was the Devil Cloud Mountain Range, if it was not killed immediately, it would attract many beasts to surround it.    

Lu Chen did not want to take too much risk. Furthermore, as a strong practitioner in Martial Monarch Level, the spirit that this magical beast had was admirable, so he did not want to add insult to injury and decided to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.    

"Aooo!" Suddenly, a loud and clear roar came out, following that, the ground started to tremble, a huge figure appeared out of nowhere, aiming straight at the injured Golden Winged Great Roc.    

It was a Giant Ape that looked like a small mountain. It was completely black, its fur was as sharp as steel needles, and a pair of vertical eyes on its head was especially eye-catching.    

Its thigh was as thick as a person's thigh. With a single footprint, it leaped over ten zhang into the air. Wherever it went, it crushed everything in its path. Its speed was very fast, and before its roar could dissipate, it had already pounced forward.    

"Chirp!" The Golden Winged Great Roc's eyes were ice-cold, filled with killing intent. From the looks of it, this Devil Ape was his archenemy, and suddenly making trouble for him was definitely something he had planned for a long time.    

"Roar!" The Devil Ape appeared in front of him, but paid no heed to it. Instead, it rushed deeper into the Stone Hill, as if there was something very important inside that was attracting it.    

The Golden Winged Great Roc's feathers were all open, it was extremely furious. Although it was heavily injured, it still possessed a strong combat power, and it clawed down with its claws glowing with a metallic luster.    

Sensing a strong threat, the gigantic Devil Ape quickly dodged. It was very afraid of the claws, probably because it had suffered a loss before and did not dare to face it head on.    

The two massive creatures collided against each other, clashing ferociously. The battles between demon beasts were the fiercest and most primitive of all. There were no gaudy martial arts techniques, only the sharp claws and hard flesh of the demon beasts.    

Stopping in his tracks, Lu Chen was surprised. Although the Devil Ape's aura was monstrous, but it was only at the level of a late stage fourth stage. Compared to the Golden Winged Great Roc, the difference was not small. This Devil Ape did not attack the Golden Winged Great Roc first, but instead took the chance to pounce towards the Stone Hill's lair. Could it be that there was some extremely precious treasure inside?    

Not only were Golden Winged Great Roc fierce, they also liked Heavenly And Earthly Treasures. If it was its lair, then there might be something unexpected.    

Lu Chen's eyes lit up, he was originally worried that he would encounter the counterattack from the Golden Winged Great Roc, but now that the Devil Ape had restrained him, he had a good chance. Also, if the Devil Ape were to defeat the Golden Winged Great Roc, their lair would definitely be plundered clean.    

Furthermore, he was also very curious about what exactly was it that attracted Devil Ape to act so recklessly.    

One had to know that the Golden Winged Great Roc on the brink of death was the most vicious, and the counterattack before it died was absolutely terrifying.    

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Chen circulated a bit of soul power and carefully probed deeper into the Stone Hill. After a while, he raised his eyebrows and felt an abnormal fluctuation. Due to the intense battle between the two monsters, which affected the flow of the world's spirit energy, Lu Chen was not sure what it was but the fluctuation it gave off was quite extraordinary.    

"In that case, I'll go take a look." After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Chen decided to investigate to the end. He withdrew his own aura and slowly lurked towards the Stone Hill direction.    

The scene was a little chaotic. The fight between the two Fourth Level Devil Beast was enough to cause an ordinary Martial Master to die a hundred times. However, Lu Chen was not affected by it and avoided the aftermath a few times, quickly arriving in front of his target.    

The Stone Hill was taller than he had imagined, piercing through the clouds like a sharp sword. A wide hole appeared on the mountainside, from within which a faint, high-spirited life force could be felt.
