When the Black King Rat heard that Jiang Chen was going to the core region of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to find the Flame Dragon, it was so frightened it shook its head again and again.
It tried to stop Jiang Chen.
"Master, that place is far too dangerous."
"The Flame Dragon just unified Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain not long ago. If you go in now, aren’t you just walking into the lion’s den?"
However, Jiang Chen said coolly, "I’m the Flame Dragon’s big brother. Trust me."
Without hesitation, he set off for the core region with the Black King Rat.
The Golden-haired Zombie King traveled alongside him.
The man and two beasts advanced steadily toward the core region of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
Jiang Chen brought the Golden-haired Zombie King because he was worried about encountering powerful Demon Beasts in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. With the Zombie King, he could at least fend off some of them.
Still, he was a little worried about this meeting with the Flame Dragon.
He was afraid the Flame Dragon would turn on him.
ROAR...
After some time, Jiang Chen gradually entered the core region.
Terrifying beast roars immediately began to echo from time to time.
They were from Demon Beasts with even greater cultivation.
In the core region, basically all the Demon Beasts were at the Martial Arts Cultivation level or higher.
Demon Beasts with Martial King Cultivation were a rare sight.
"Who goes there?"
The moment they stepped into the core region, a roar echoed from up ahead.
The next moment, a Red-armored Ghost Ant appeared, flying toward them from mid-air. It was a full three zhang tall, blood-red from head to toe, and baring a row of sharp fangs.
The moment it appeared, the terrifying aura of its Martial Arts Sect First Heaven cultivation bore down on Jiang Chen and the Golden-haired Zombie King.
The Black King Rat immediately began to tremble, glancing at Jiang Chen in terror.
Jiang Chen, however, remained relatively calm. He spoke up, "Your Excellency, I wish to see your King Flame Dragon. Please pass on a message for me. Just tell him his big brother is here."
The Red-armored Ghost Ant’s eyes immediately widened in a glare.
Its ferocity was boundless.
It snarled, "Bastard! You, a mere human brat, dare to imply our king is your little brother? Are you looking for death?"
"ROAR!"
With that, its aura surged.
It immediately flew forward to attack.
Its gleaming fangs were a terrifying sight.
Without a word, the Golden-haired Zombie King pounced.
The two quickly clashed, their battle making the very earth shake.
Jiang Chen felt a little frustrated. ’Seeing the Flame Dragon really isn’t easy,’ he thought.
BOOM! BOOM!
The Golden-haired Zombie King and the Red-armored Ghost Ant were almost evenly matched, neither able to gain an advantage.
After fighting for a while, they both retreated.
Then, the Red-armored Ghost Ant pounced again with renewed ferocity.
"ROAR!"
This time, the Golden-haired Zombie King gained a slight upper hand.
But it still couldn’t defeat the Red-armored Ghost Ant.
"Who is it?"
Just then, an even more resonant voice echoed out.
The voice was overwhelming, seemingly covering the sky and blanketing the earth.
The moment it heard the voice, the Red-armored Ghost Ant trembled violently and immediately stopped its fight with the Golden-haired Zombie King.
It called out toward the depths of the core region, "Lord Xiong, someone has trespassed on our territory!"
As for the Golden-haired Zombie King, it flashed back to Jiang Chen’s side, its expression grave as it stared into the core region. It seemed as if something terrifying was about to emerge.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort followed.
Then, a large Black Bear Demon Beast, its fur as black as ink and its bristles like steel needles, came into view, treading slowly through the air as it approached.
Even before it fully appeared, its powerful aura crushed the Black King Rat, forcing it to the ground.
It was terrified beyond belief.
Even the Red-armored Ghost Ant, with its Martial Arts Cultivation, trembled and stood by respectfully.
It was a majestic black bear, a full three to four zhang tall.
The moment it appeared, it revealed its terrifying cultivation at the Peak of Martial Arts Sect Ninth Heaven, causing Jiang Chen’s expression to change drastically.
The Golden-haired Zombie King’s eyes filled with dread.
Clearly, this newcomer was no ordinary being.
Soon, Lord Xiong appeared in the air before Jiang Chen and the others.
He hovered steadily in mid-air, looking down upon the earth, and upon Jiang Chen.
He said coldly, "Human whelp, you can run wild in the outer regions of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, but do you not know that this core region is a forbidden land for humans?"
"How do you wish to die?"
He was as indifferent as a murderous tyrant, looking down on everything.
He didn’t even give Jiang Chen a second glance.
Jiang Chen immediately spoke up. "I am the big brother of your King Flame Dragon, and I wish to see him."
What?
Lord Xiong froze.
It was as if he’d misheard.
"Whelp, say that again."
"I don’t think I understood you."
He found it utterly absurd. Even with his cultivation, he was no match for the Flame Dragon and was ultimately subjugated by him.
Yet this human before him, a mere whelp with only a Martial King Cultivation, actually dared to claim to be the Flame Dragon’s big brother.
It was the joke of the century.
Besides, how could a being as proud as the Flame Dragon possibly acknowledge a human as his big brother?
Jiang Chen repeated with conviction, "Please tell the Flame Dragon that his big brother is here."
Lord Xiong almost laughed.
But it quickly turned into a malicious grin. "It seems you truly are ignorant."
"Now, die."
With that, he simply raised a massive bear paw and brought it swatting down at Jiang Chen from above.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen’s expression turned grim.
He snapped, "Stop! If you kill me, your Flame Dragon will kill you too!"
"If you want to know whether I’m his big brother, just take me to see your king."
He was taking a gamble.
If this didn’t work, he would just have to use the Dragon-locking Realm to escape.
’Of course, I can also summon Fang Yinzi,’ he thought. ’I just hope the Flame Dragon keeps his promise.’
WHOOSH!
Lord Xiong’s descending paw paused, stopping in mid-air.
His eyes darted. It seemed he thought Jiang Chen had a point.
He relented. "Fine, whelp. Since you insist, I’ll let you die knowing the truth."
"Let’s see what you have to say when you’re standing before our king."
As he spoke, Lord Xiong gestured with a huge paw.
Jiang Chen felt a terrifying force envelop him.
Then, his body flew uncontrollably into the air, landing in Lord Xiong’s palm.
"Release my master!"
The Golden-haired Zombie King immediately roared.
"Hmph!"
Lord Xiong snorted. "You little Zombie, shut your mouth! Once I’ve confirmed whether he’s lying, I’ll show you how I deal with all of you."
"Not a single one of you will escape."
Held in Lord Xiong’s massive hand, Jiang Chen didn’t resist. He said to the Golden-haired Zombie King, "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."
Seeing how calm Jiang Chen was, Lord Xiong grew even more suspicious.
Nevertheless, he took flight with Jiang Chen in his grasp.
He headed straight for the heart of the core region, with the Golden-haired Zombie King and the Black King Rat following close behind.
In what felt like only a few breaths, as if the stars themselves had shifted, Lord Xiong carried Jiang Chen over a vast expanse of forest and arrived in the heart of the core region.
In the core region of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, there was a massive lake.
And on the shore of this lake stood the Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain.
The moment he arrived, Jiang Chen could feel that the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here was exceptionally rich—at least five or six times denser than in the outside world.
While he was still marveling at this,
Lord Xiong had already landed with him by the shore of the lake.
Facing the Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain, he called out, "King, I’ve brought a human. He says he’s your big brother."
"I’ve captured him and brought him here."
