Landing as a Beast King, the Lu Family's Ultimate Trial!

With the Ancestor having spoken, naturally no one dared disobey.

Lu Chen, the Heavenly Demon Body, casually tossed the fish beast's corpse into the Spirit Lake. After washing the blood and grime from his body with his qi and blood, he leaped onto the shore.

He stood properly alongside the others. In all, there were eleven of them—the most monstrous prodigies of the Lu Family's generation!

"You are all the pillars of the Lu Family!"

"To be born into the Lu Family is both your fortune and your misfortune!"

"Within the Lu Family, you may enjoy resources beyond anything others could imagine in a lifetime, but you must also bear incomparable pressure!"

"At ten years old, children of ordinary families would still be sheltered beneath their parents' wings. But you are different. What awaits you is the boundless Great Wilderness, and all its unknowns! Guards, resources, Magic Tools, talismans... all of it, every last bit, will no longer be yours!"

"The only thing you can rely on is a body tempered to its peak. Without destruction, there can be no rebirth! Only those prodigies who can cross the Great Wilderness deserve to be called the Lu Family's true sons of heaven!"

The Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family spoke in a deep voice.

His voice was not loud, yet it reached every person's ears with perfect clarity.

A blazing flame ignited within all their hearts!

At last, the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family gave the eleven present a long, deep look.

He slightly raised his arm and slowly waved it.

A faint breeze swept forth, carrying them to every corner of the Great Wilderness.

"In this generation... will anyone reach that step?"

Deep within a mountain range, the roots of ancient, vigorous trees twisted and intertwined like coiling horned dragons.

On a branch wide enough to serve as a road, Lu Qingyun stared blankly. Only after a long while did he come back to himself.

"Where the hell did this send me? Is this still the Lu Family's Divine Mountain?"

The divine power of an Ancestor was completely beyond his comprehension.

After taking a few seconds to accept the reality that he had been exiled, Lu Qingyun instantly put on a mask of suffering.

Watching the Ancestor speak, he had thought there would be a whole heap of long-winded lecturing.

Who would have thought that after only a few sentences, he would just throw them out?

He had not even had time to catch a few fish from the Spirit Lake and give them a taste!

Any one of those fish could battle Lu Chen, that Heavenly Demon Body, for three hundred rounds. Their flesh surely had to be exceptionally delicious—and provide a massive amount of Energy Points besides!

What a pity. He had not gotten the chance...

Lu Qingyun smacked his lips and began considering what to do next.

Just as his brain began to turn, his body told him the most correct course of action!

Eat!

Obtain Energy Points!

Back in the Lu Family, he could casually feast on heavenly treasures, filling his body with medicinal power!

But now, the medicinal power accumulated within him was nearly exhausted!

Without additional energy to replenish it, the rate at which he gained Energy Points would greatly decrease!

And even worse than that... he would get hungry!

Hiss—

A jade-green snake lurked behind lush leaves, flicking its tongue as its icy vertical pupils watched the prey before it.

The instant it made a sound, the green snake's body abruptly swelled. The two fleshy lumps atop its head wriggled ceaselessly, as though something sharp might burst from them at any moment.

Its gaping bloody maw swallowed Lu Qingyun whole!

But in the next instant, the great green snake's body froze in place, and utter terror rose in its pupils!

Before it could make another move, flames erupted from within, using its flesh and blood as fuel. In the blink of an eye, it was burned to ashes!

Lu Qingyun looked disgustedly at the chunk of roasted flesh he had casually torn off. After taking a small bite, he immediately spat it out!

"Pah, pah, pah! What garbage!"

"A Desolate Beast with such low cultivation is not even qualified to be food. It's lived in the Great Wilderness for so many years and only reached the Cave Heaven Secret Treasury—did it not even purge the impurities from its body?"

He casually tossed the meat aside and leaped down from the ancient tree.

The moment he landed, the silent forest erupted into clamor!

Hiss—

Hiss—

From the ground and the hollows of trees, jade-green snakes crawled out one after another. They varied in size, yet they were exactly the same as the one Lu Qingyun had just burned to death.

Hundreds of thousands of green snakes carpeted the entire ground, making it impossible to tell the vines apart from the serpents!

Twisting and coiling, pairs of icy vertical pupils stared at Lu Qingyun, sending chills down one's spine!

Crack, crack—

Ancient trees snapped one after another as an incomparably enormous green half-dragon serpent slithered toward Lu Qingyun.

Yet just as it was about to reach him, it stopped.

After sweeping Lu Qingyun with an icy glance, it brazenly began doting on its snake consort.

Their bodies intertwined, treating Lu Qingyun as if he did not exist.

This was the arrogance of a beast king of the Mountain Sea Realm!

Lu Qingyun tilted his head, looking at the green snakes closing in from all directions, the corners of his lips curling slightly.

The next moment, a tidal flood of qi and blood swept through the entire forest, reducing it and every living creature within to ashes!

Hundreds of thousands of green snakes of varying cultivation, along with that beast king of the Mountain Sea Secret Treasure, vanished outright without even having time to react!

"Thrown into a beast king's territory right from the start—is this the confidence of the supreme Lu Family?"

Lu Qingyun was somewhat surprised, but not startled.

As one of the Lu Family's top prodigies, if he could not even survive the Mountain Sea Secret Treasure upon entering the world, he might as well die early.

In a land sealed in ice for thousands of miles, freezing snow fell without pause, sharp as knives scraping bone.

Lu Ling emerged from the ice and snow. Only after confirming that the Bloodthirsty Bear King had already left did she pat her still-developing chest in lingering fear.

"Good thing I've cultivated my Stealth Technique to a profound level. The moment I disengaged, I concealed myself. Otherwise, escaping that beast king would probably have cost me dearly!"

After rejoicing in her safe escape, Lu Ling could not help wondering about the others and what situation they were in now.

Especially Lu Qingyun—the one who had humiliated her twice in succession when they were young!

"When I saw him just now, he did look fairly presentable, but there's been no sign of anything from him in four years. His cultivation has probably stagnated long ago. I wonder whether Ancestor specially lowered the difficulty for him. If he landed in front of a beast king like we did... then he's probably already failed by now."

Thinking of what Lu Qingyun might be going through, Lu Ling felt a burst of delight!

Then she shook her head and belatedly said, "What am I even thinking? Someone without even a physique isn't worth wasting my thoughts on! The only ones qualified to compete with me are those nine within the Ancestral Land! I wonder how they'll evade the beast kings."

Boom—!!

A wolf beast the size of a small mountain fell from the sky and crashed savagely into the ground!

A figure like a demon god landed atop its snow-white belly, walking forward step by step.

Blood continually dripped from the wound on that figure's arm, staining the white fur red and forming a trail of blood that led straight to the wolf's head!

"Wuwu—"

Before death, the Wolf King that had roamed the Great Wilderness in dominance grew afraid. It let out a sound, trying to beg for mercy.

It could not understand why such a young creature possessed such vigorous qi and blood—and inspired such instinctive terror in it!

Under its horrified gaze, a fist shadow flashed like lightning, plunging its consciousness into endless darkness!

Skinning, carving meat, drinking blood!

The entire sequence flowed like drifting clouds and running water, almost pleasing to watch. One look was enough to tell how practiced he was.

After draining the Wolf King's blood, the sinister glint in Lu Chen's eyes intensified. Several bloody wounds on his body scabbed over and healed at a visible rate, and in less than a moment, he was fully restored.
