The greatest grudges came from none other than murdering one’s father, or stealing one’s wife. Only that way could he make so many experts willing to fight him to the death. Such life and death struggles would truly decide who was stronger.
Of course, there was another reason why he had sought out such experts, which was that the women of strong cultivators were often the greatest beauties. Playing around with them really was quite fun.
Just like that, he had wandered the world for a few years, soon leaving all the experts of the prairie terror-stricken. At that point, he could no longer find worthy opponents anymore. As such, he had returned to the Lion King Court, then challenged his father.
After a great battle, the former Lion King had been killed in battle, and Shi Zhentian won. He had thus become the new Lion King.
That wasn’t particularly shocking for the Lion race, however. Changes of leadership among Lion Kings were often accompanied by bloody battles. Only then could they ensure that every Lion King was the strongest, thus bringing the entire race the greatest glory.
However, directly killing the Lion King like that still wasn’t that common. Most of the time, the former Lion King would just leave in disgrace upon realizing he wasn’t a match.
Of course, the Lion race didn’t have any concept of patricide. It had happened more than once or twice in history. That was why, even though it was a bit inappropriate, it had still been considered acceptable.
Then, Shi Zhentian had taken over his father’s harem. He hadn’t emerged from the imperial palace for three months after that. He soon discovered that during those three months, he felt even more tired than when he was fighting against strong experts outside. However, he had been happily tired. His father’s wives really were incredible; their taste really was quite excellent.
People in the Lion race were all used to it; every new Lion King did the same. On the prairie, women were precious strategic resources who could continuously give birth to later generations. In contrast, the human race neglected the wives of the former ruler. That merely seemed like a waste to them.
Thus, after decades of Shi Zhentian’s rule, he had unified the different Lion race tribes on the prairie and forced back the powerful Hyena race bit by bit. He soon expanded his territory there to the limit.
Afterward, however, he was no longer satisfied with the prairie, and thus aimed at the Fiend King Court. He wanted to seize even more benefits for the Lion race. Why were there only three king races, the Peacock, Great Peng, and Elf races, under the Fiend Emperor? The Lion race had every right to become a fourth King race, or to even be above the other king races!
The Golden Crow Crown Prince had recognized his great strength and ambition, so the two sides had hit it off. Shi Zhentian knew that after tonight, there would be a shuffling of the Fiend races’ power structure. The more chaotic the situation became, the more opportunities the Lion race would have.
The Peacock King race, Golden Peng King race, and Elf King race had remained powerful for too long. It was time for them to be replaced. That would bring a kind of glory the Lion race had never experienced before. However, he wasn’t satisfied with just that.
Who says the Fiend Emperor’s position has to be held by the Golden Crow race? Am I, Shi Zhentian, not fit to become the Fiend Emperor? he thought. However, the late Fiend Emperor had just been too strong, which temporarily suppressed his ambitions.
When he was told that the late Fiend Emperor had already died by the Golden Crow Crown Prince, he had been wild with joy. The heavens really are helping me!
No wonder I had so many miraculous encounters ever since I was young. I am a child blessed by fate!
The late Fiend Emperor died unexpectedly in the secret dungeon and wasn’t able to pass on his cultivation to the Golden Crow Crown Prince. Does that brat really think I’ll yield to him?
I’ll work with him to get rid of other powerful enemies first, but once I gain great authority, that will be a chance for me to become the new Fiend Emperor!
His plans were clearly perfect, so why had something unexpected happened?
This little monster Zu An, just where did he come from? Who the hell says he’s just reached the master rank?
Bullshit!
I have so many regreeeeets!
You have successfully trolled Shi Zhentian for +555 +555 +555…
Can I have just one more chance?
Unfortunately, his consciousness quickly plunged into endless darkness.
…
When the onlookers saw a lump of badly-mangled flesh fall from the air, a deep silence fell over the entire place. Many people rubbed their eyes in confusion, thinking that perhaps they were mistaken.
Some of them thought Shi Zhentian was just wounded. However, with a loud noise, his body broke into pieces from the fall.
Those present finally reacted to what had happened.
