Chapter 74: King Beast

Lin Fan quickly relayed the information to the girls and they both agreed to his plan.

Lin Fan had Angela place a stealth spell around them, which Angela agreed, but she refused to put one around Zi Ling. In the end, she still agreed and put the spell over Zi Ling after Lin Fan convinced her, but she really had an ugly look on her face.

The stealth spell was just using spiritual energy to form a barrier that blocked spiritual senses, creating a false image if one used their spiritual sense on them. So while it prevented them from being found, it didn't make them invisible.

The three of them slowly approached the camp, but they didn't come out of the foliage. The three of them just sat there watching over the movements in the camp.

It didn't take long before the group in the camp gathered in the center.

There was one person who seemed quite strong based on his aura that seemed to be leading them. After giving a speech, he led the rest off in the direction of the mark on the map.

While they couldn't hear what the speech was about, it seemed quite inspiring seeing that the group all raised their weapons and let out a cheer when he was finished.

Lin Fan's group of three followed behind the group, making sure to maintain a distance so they wouldn't be seen, but also close enough to see what was happening.

Eventually the group came up to a large cave, which was in the exact location of the mark.

Once they arrived, the group took up formation and slowly approached the cave. But the moment they came within ten meters of the cave, there was suddenly a loud roar that came from inside.

This roar was no ordinary roar, there was an extreme power that filled this roar that shook all who heard it to their core. However, that only applied to the group in front.

As for Lin Fan's group, Lin Fan wasn't shaken since he had already felt much stronger from Angela and Momonga, Angela was Angela, and only Zi Ling acted scared even though she really wasn't.

Before the group in front of the cave could even react, there was a giant lion that came out.

The lion was five times higher than the average human and when it came out, it looked down on these intruders like they were nothing more than ants. Of course, it was justified since this was a beast in the Legendary Realm! This was a King Beast!

Once this King Beast appeared, the group of royals knew that their ancestors had been tricked by Xie Jun. He deliberately told them about the treasure, but of course it was all to lead them to this trap!

In an instant, every single royal charged off in a different direction, trying to escape, but how could they escape from a King Beast so easily?

The King Beast gave a roar and several figures jumped out of its shadow, creating several miniature lions.

While these lions were much smaller than the King Beast, they were nothing to laugh at since each and every one of them were in the peak of the Gold Realm.

These lions quickly scattered to chase down these royals and more than half of them were unlucky enough to be caught by them.

In the end, these royals had no other choice but to use their trump cards, bringing out high tier Gold Realm Artifacts. Various coloured lights exploded as these artifacts released their power and pushed back the Gold Realm lions.

After a quick battle, most of the royals managed to escape using their artifacts, but there were some that were unlucky and were caught by the lions. As for most of their followers with lower tier cultivations, they were almost all killed off.

As for the leader who seemed to be the strongest, he was unlucky as he was locked onto by the King Beast itself.

As the King Beast attacked, the leader released his cultivation and Lin Fan was shocked to find that this leader was actually in the Platinum Realm!

He had thought that most of the people here would be at most in the Gold Realm, he never expected Platinum Realm Experts who were less than fifty years old. It seemed like his calculations were wrong and he couldn't act as freely as he thought.

After releasing his cultivation, the leader also took out a sword that once it came out of its sheath, it released lightning that filled the area.

This wasn't just a simple artifact, the aura coming from the artifact was filled with the power of laws, meaning that it was a Legendary Realm Artifact.

It seemed like this leader's position in his family wasn't low, his family was even willing to invest a Legendary Realm Artifact in him. However, that did make sense since he was a supreme genius that had reached the Platinum Realm before he was even fifty.

Gathering all the power of the Legendary Realm Artifact, the sword was covered in lightning that exploded in all directions, creating a net that quickly flew out at the King Beast.

The King Beast raised a paw to swat it down, but the moment its claw touched the lightning net, the lightning net shattered instantly. However, the lightning didn't disappear as it ran across the pelt of the King Beast, quickly forming a web on its skin.

The King Beast quickly gave a roar at this, but it seemed like it couldn't move at all.

The leader took advantage of this one moment to immediately gather all his strength into running, immediately dashing out into the forest.

After a while, the lightning disappeared from the body of the King Beast, but it didn't chase after the leader.

Once the Gold Realm lions finished clearing out the stragglers, they returned into the shadow of the King Beast who turned back to the cave.

As for Lin Fan's group, they still remained in their hiding spot, watching the entire battle.

When all the humans had been killed, that was when Lin Fan came out with Angela.

The King Beast seemed to have felt the threat that was coming from Angela, so it came out once again to meet them, but this time it wasn't as arrogant.

This time, the King Beast vigilantly watched over Angela who stared back at it like she was looking down on an ant.

Every beast that could become a King Beast had a certain amount of intelligence and luck, so this lion King Beast wasn't an exception. It could tell that it couldn't defeat Angela, but it also couldn't just leave since there was a contract that sealed it to protecting what was in the cave.

Angela could tell from the fluctuations coming from the King Beast that it was contracted to protecting the cave, so she didn't plan on wasting words.

However, when Angela raised her hand to attack, Lin Fan suddenly called out, "Wait!"

Angela turned to look at Lin Fan with a confused gaze as she said, "What is it?"

Lin Fan said, "Could you let me fight it instead?"

Angela's expression became even more confused, "You know that you can't beat it, why would you fight it?"

Lin Fan said, "I want to use it to become stronger."

After seeing that the leader was actually in the Platinum Realm, as well as the Legendary Realm Artifact he had, Lin Fan had realized that he had underestimated this Inheritance Realm. If he didn't become stronger, he wouldn't be a match for these people and he wouldn't have a chance to get the Dragon Vein.

Now that there was a perfect chance for him to cultivate, why would he let it go?

Lin Fan's main form of cultivation was just like the cultivation method of his pets, he fought different powerful foes and gained battle experience, increasing his cultivation under pressure.

Hearing this, Angela didn't agree right away and actually knit her brows, "There's no protection here."

Normally when Lin Fan cultivated like this, it was usually in the World of Elements where he had the protection of his master. Even if he was killed, he would be revived on the spot completely healed.

Lin Fan turned to Angela and said in a confident voice, "I believe in you."

Angela was a bit stunned before she gave a nod with a smile, "Alright."

Then with a snap, she created a barrier around the area, isolating them from the rest of the Inheritance Realm.

Angela said, "Have fun."

At this, Lin Fan revealed an excited look.

This was his first time fighting an expert in the Legendary Realm, just how would he stack up?
