Lu Chen vs. All the Kings

"Slaughtering Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts?"

Di Tian looked at the calm lake surface. Ripples finally appeared in his eyes, which had been as still as ancient waters.

He stood up, turned to Zi Ji, and said, "He even crushed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring? Looks like a tough one has arrived. Tell Lord Bear to test him."

"Lord Bear probably won't listen to you. He's always coveted your position. Unless that human enters his territory, he won't make a move. How about I go instead?"

Di Tian glanced at Zi Ji and slowly said, "No need. Myriad Monster King has already gone."

Elsewhere, after walking for a while, Lu Chen began to feel that something was increasingly wrong. Looking at the lush, towering trees around him, he felt as though every one of them was alive and watching him.

This immediately made Lu Chen think of a Soul Beast: the Demonic Eye Demon Tree, one of the kings of the Star Dou Forest, a terrifying Soul Beast with more than five hundred thousand years of cultivation.

"Come out. Stop hiding."

Lu Chen looked into the depths of the woods and spoke calmly.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to notice me. You do have some skill, but you should never have come here alone to die."

A young man emerged from the depths of the forest. He wore a wicked smile, and as he walked toward Lu Chen, the surrounding trees began growing wildly. Yellow eyes sprouted from every trunk, radiating eerie, sinister light.

"I shouldn't have come alone?" Lu Chen smiled. "That's only because you have no idea how strong I am. If you did, you wouldn't be saying something like that."

"So you're confident you can kill me?"

"Hmph. Though this king is not the strongest being in the Land of Great Evil, killing you will be effortless."

As soon as he finished speaking, Myriad Monster King snapped his fingers. The surrounding trees seemed to come alive, uprooting themselves one after another as thick vines lashed toward Lu Chen without warning.

Lu Chen did not dodge. He allowed the vines to bind him, and in an instant, thick vines had looped around his limbs and neck.

"Are you going to hang me up and beat me? Or whip me dozens of times and drive me into the courtyard?"

As Lu Chen hung in the air, he actually found it rather amusing for a moment.

But when he saw the countless eager vines around him, his expression suddenly turned strange. This scene looked far too familiar. No matter how he looked at it, it resembled something restricted-rated.

At that thought, Lu Chen's little face flushed slightly. He used Teleportation and appeared behind Myriad Monster King.

"What?"

Myriad Monster King reacted quickly. The instant Lu Chen appeared behind him, he had already noticed.

But before he could respond, Lu Chen kicked him squarely in the butt.

Bang!

Myriad Monster King shot away like a cannonball, smashing through tree after tree along the way. He flew for several kilometers before finally stopping.

"You actually made me strike such a shameful pose. Who would've thought you were such a dirty old pervert?"

"Damn it! I'll kill you!"

Several kilometers away, Myriad Monster King charged back with towering rage. Tree branches and vines blotted out the sky as they swept toward Lu Chen, determined to make this human suffer endless torment.

"Holy crap, is this the Descent of the Wood World?"

The scene before him was remarkably similar to Senju Hashirama's Descent of the Wood World, though compared to the real thing, it fell short by far more than a little.

"Since you like playing bondage so much, why don't you have a taste of it yourself?"

The power of space activated, and Lu Chen instantly swapped his position with Myriad Monster King's.

This was one of the Space Gem's many abilities: spatial exchange.

Still burning with rage, Myriad Monster King had no idea what had happened. He only felt the scene before his eyes suddenly change, and by the time he came to his senses, countless branches had swallowed him whole.

As the only plant-type Soul Beast in the Land of Great Evil and the king of all plants, Myriad Monster King obviously would not be harmed by the plants under his own control.

"Human, I have to admit that I underestimated you. You have completely enraged me. I will make you—"

"Enough, enough. Villains die from talking too much. The only reason you've lasted this long isn't because you're strong, but because I still wanted to play. Now I don't feel like playing anymore. You may leave."

Lu Chen interrupted Myriad Monster King's furious declaration. He knew that Myriad Monster King's strength went far beyond this. He still had many Soul Skills he had not used, including the domain skill, A Thousand Years in an Instant.

But that was nothing but a joke. How could just anyone control the Law of Time? If that were true, wouldn't Myriad Monster King be able to mass-produce Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts? His cultivation would not be a mere five hundred thousand years either.

The Mind Gem's power activated. Brilliant golden light bloomed in Lu Chen's eyes, and Mind Control activated. Myriad Monster King, who had been glaring furiously at Lu Chen, was instantly controlled.

The Mind Gem was truly terrifying. Even Myriad Monster King, whose spiritual power was exceptionally strong, could not resist the Mind Gem's Mind Control ability.

"Lead the way."

With just those two words, Myriad Monster King, controlled by Lu Chen's Mind Control, acted as though he had received a divine decree and respectfully led Lu Chen toward the Lake of Life.

But before they had taken two steps, the sky over the Land of Great Evil suddenly darkened, as though it had been shrouded in endless darkness.

To Lu Chen's front left, a three-headed Soul Beast had appeared at some unknown time.

Its entire body was bathed in flames, and the blazing heat made the air around it grow scorching hot.

The Three-Headed Crimson Demonic Mastiff, one of the kings of the Star Dou Forest, possessed three hundred thousand years of cultivation and controlled the flames of hell.

To Lu Chen's front right, a massive bear-type Soul Beast also blocked his path. Its enormous claws were so sharp that one could feel wounded merely by looking at them.

The Dark Golden Dreadclaw Bear, a super Soul Beast of the Star Dou Forest, the king among bear-type Soul Beasts, the bear above all bears, the strongest bear-type Soul Beast. It was also one of the kings, with more than four hundred thousand years of cultivation. Its giant claws could even tear apart space.

In the center of them all stood an incomparably beautiful woman in a long green dress, luminous wings floating behind her back. She watched Lu Chen calmly.

Bi Ji, whose true form was the Emerald Swan, was a guardian of the Star Dou Forest. A healing-type Soul Beast, she was kind-hearted and loved peace, with more than five hundred thousand years of cultivation.

Behind Lu Chen, a giant dragon descended from the sky. Its wings spread wide, blotting out the sky as it let out a deafening roar.

Zi Ji, whose true form was the Hellish Demonic Dragon, was also one of the kings of the Star Dou Forest. Her cultivation was somewhat lower, at only over two hundred thousand years, but as a member of the dragon race, she possessed a top-tier bloodline and feared none of the Soul Beasts present.

Finally, Lu Chen raised his head toward the sky, where a black dragon even larger than the Hellish Demonic Dragon hovered overhead.

The pressure of a king swept across the entire core region. Even the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, deep within the Mixed Ring, could feel it.

Golden dragon eyes stared down at Lu Chen. A powerful dragon's might pressed toward him, only to find that it could not affect him in the slightest.

P.S. I don't know any of these kings at all, and I don't even know what Soul Skills they have, so I could only force myself to write this.
