Chapter 695: Beast king

He didn't know why but the people inside the room give him a sense that they aren't truly invincible, actually if he truly risks it all, he has a 30 to 40 percent chance of winning.

This wasn't based on his observation but on his instinct which made him confused, he had always thought that Saints are powerful beings that should give him an incredible amount of pressure but what these people give him was only a bit of pressure.

He could only sigh and disperse his thought, he then took a deep breath and looks at the people inside the room and said "Everyone, we have gathered all of you here because something is threatening this tree."

Hearing this, other than Meowy and Lionheart, the others were stunned, just as some of them were about to blow a fuse, he continue on his explanation.

"Gentlemen, why don't you put your arms on this part of the tree, since you guys have been to the higher planes, you would definitely find something familiar on this tree."

The Saints inside the room then approached the tree, they wouldn't believe anyone but because of the Saint flare, they could only agree on someone weaker than them.

Once they put their arms on the tree and use their acute senses to investigate the tree, all of them started trembling.

Many of them started stepping back with disbelief that could clearly be seen on their eyes, Shadowslash saw all of this and knew that these Saints already believes him.

These Saints have been to higher planes and were familiar with the Qi that those from the higher planes exudes.

He then started explaining "This tree is called the Sky Piercing Tree, it is a void class tree, meaning that it is the reason why this world is connected with a higher plane of existence."

"It is also the reason why there was a curse on this city and it's surrounding area."

The Saints looks at each other with amazement flashing on their eyes, they then heard about the curse and their expression became solemn.

"The curse was brought by this tree because it needs large amount of energy to continue it's job of connecting this world with a higher plane."

He didn't told them the truth, the fact that the tree was devouring lifeforce because it was about to undergo sentient evolution, once the people knew that the tree is now forming it's sentient, they would definitely covets it.

The Saints kept looking at the tree with interest, upon seeing this, Shadowslash immediately knew that they started to have an idea to the tree.

He could let's out a cough and said "The Sky Piercing Tree cannot be moved, not to mention it still needs large amount of lifeforce to continue it's job."

He then touched the tree and immediately the Saint felt something was devouring them but this feeling only lasted for one second.

But the Saints inside the room trembles in fear, they knew that if the tree once again activates it's curse then they would definitely suffer.

Shadowslash knew that he shouldn't push the Saints that much so he quickly changed their focus, he then spoke "The Supreme Poison Clan's leader Vlaze have been taken over by a Rune Beast called One Hundred Poison Worm."

He then looks at them, he knew that they knew about the information regarding the relationship of the Rune Beasts and the void class items since Meowy knew it.

Just like what he speculated, the Saints knew and their expression immediately became solemn, one of them spoke "Since this is the situation, then immediately tell us the location of that beast."

Shadowslash shook his head and said "Please don't be careless dealing with him, he had broken through Saint Realm and because the One Hundred Poison Worm is now the one controlling his body, that meant that you will be fighting a Rune Beast that has a Saint body."

All of the Saints inside the room were stunned when they heard this, they hadn't thought that they would be fighting a Saint Rune Beast.

Upon seeing their expression, Shadowslash sighed, he knew that this information have made them hesitant but he just couldn't not tell them such crucial information.

"The One Hundred Poison Worm is approaching this place as days passes by, if it ever reach Mortal City it would definitely spells doom for this entire world."

The Saints knew this, after looking at each other, they could only sigh and decides to confront the One Hundred Poison Worm.

One of the Saints looks at the tree and thought of something, his eyes then widen and he couldn't help but shout in shock "So that's it!"

Immediately everyone's focus descended on him, their expression is full of curiosity, Shadowslash was also curious as to what he had discovered.

The old man was a lion beastman, he then realised that his outburst have captured everyone's attention, knowing that he would be pestered by his other peers, he could only smile bitterly and explain.

"From the annals of my clan, it is stated that this city wasn't called Mortal City before, actually it was called Beast King City, the reason for this is because the first ever true Saint was born in this city, he was also responsible for opening the pathway to the higher planes."

Instantly a look of realization appeared on the expression of the Saints, they then look at the tree with burning desire, Shadowslash quickly spoke.

"Everyone, the tree would continue to stay on this city, you could visit it anytime you want but please beware because it might activates it's curse since Saints are it's favorite food."

One of the Saints, a hawk beastman, became displeased and said "Are you threatening us brat?!"

Shadowslash shook his head and said "I wouldn't dare to, it's just the Sky Piercing Tree is truly lacking in nutrients to help it function."

The hawkman snorted, one of the Saint that looks like a half dragon and half man shouted "Enough! We first need to deal with that One Hundred Poison Worm, besides I have already sent a messenger bird back to my tribe to inform my tribe chief about this."

Hearing this thd people inside the room knew that they first need to deal with the One Hundred Poison Worm problem, so even though they still wants to investigate the Sky Piercing Tree they could only leave.

The one who was leading them to the territory of the One Hundred Poison Worm was one of Shadowslash's clone.

When the Saints left, Shadowslash looks at Meowy and asks "What do they mean the first true Saint was born in the city?"

Lionheart was also curious, judging from the expression of the others inside the room earlier, it seems that those from the Supreme Tribe knew something important.

Meowy then started explaining "True Saints, just like what they are called are the true Saints, the Saints that have arrived earlier are called Transitional State."

Lionheart and Shadowslash became more and more interested on this topic so they continue to listen intently to Meowy.

"To become a true Saint, a Saint must turn his vital Qi and energy into Saint class vital Qi and energy."

Meowy's expression then became respectful and she spoke in respectful tone, her eyes were full of yearning and passion.

"The first and might be the only true Saint in this world is the chosen one of this world, the only individual remaining on his kind, the Mesmerizing Mountain Beast, Beast King Kloztres." (????)

Shadowslash knew that chosen ones of respective worlds are definitely powerful individuals, he just never thought that the chosen one of this world is actually a Divine Beast.

Mesmerizing Mountain Beasts, is a Divine Beast that is considered one of the most beautiful being in this universe and they have the ability to increase the density of spirit Qi in a location.

Because of these two facts they were hunted down to be as mounts, Mesmerizing Mountain Beasts might be beautiful and have a mild attitude, but this doesn't meant they aren't strong and proud.

They rather die than submit, in all history, not once did anyone manage to tame a Mesmerizing Mountain Beast but also because of this, their population have dwindle down.

Shadowslash wanted to meet this so called beast king, he asks "So where is beast king Kloztres right now?"

Meowy then looks at the tree and said "Nobody knows but the fact that he is still alive is very well known to the Supreme Tribes."

"Legend has it, he managed to break free of all restraint of the lower realm and was now staying at one of the divine planes."

Lionheart couldnt help but asks "How can you say that he is still alive, is there any indication that he is still alive?"

Shadowslash was also curious but after recalling something, he smiles and said "This world have chosen him as it's chosen one, since this world continue to exist and getting stronger as time pass, that only means that the chosen one is still alive and was actually getting stronger."
