42: The Lord of the Lunar Eclipse Demon Forest, the pinnacle of the Demonic Spirit Realm! The Scarlet Flame Mad Lion King!

Chen De arrived at a demon beast forest known as the Moon Eclipse Demon Forest.

The Moon Eclipse Demon Forest covers an area of over 3 million square kilometers, roughly three times the size of the Vortex Forest where Chen De was before.

It is currently ruled by the Crimson Flame Mad Lions clan of demon beasts.

Hundreds of years ago, the rulers here were not the Crimson Flame Mad Lions clan, but the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan.

The Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan was the longest-reigning demon beast species in this forest.

Combined with the incessant wolf howls in the forest during every full moon from the Howling Moon Silver Wolves, the Moon Eclipse Forest got its name.

Later, the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan declined, and the Crimson Flame Mad Lions clan rose to power.

They eliminated all the Howling Moon Silver Wolves and became the overlords of this forest.

In fact, all demon beast forests are like this; there are no eternal overlords, one species replaces another.

As rulers, they must constantly maintain absolute strength, otherwise, the higher they stand, the harder they fall.

Power is arbitrary, but the succession of power is not.

The price of failure is complete annihilation; the successors will not leave any hope for a comeback for their predecessors.

Even the Crimson Flame Mad Lions clan itself does not know how long it can remain in the position of ruler.

But as long as there is hope for contention, they will not give up.

They won't, and neither will other demon beast groups.

At this moment, in the heart of the Moon Eclipse Demon Forest, all the Demon Spirit Realm demon beasts of the Crimson Flame Mad Lions clan were gathered.

"I heard that something big happened in the Vortex Forest near us?"

A Crimson Flame Mad Lions spoke, sitting in the lead position, clearly their boss.

Its size far exceeded the one Chen De had seen, at least a dozen times larger.

Its shoulder height was nearly three meters, its muscles were gnarled like solidified lava, and dark red flowing light faintly emanated from its bones and joints.

Its entire body was covered in crimson mane, which looked like flowing magma on its body, sparking whenever it moved.

Its skin was covered in lava-crack-like patterns, as if containing the energy of a volcanic eruption.

Its lion head had a pair of amber vertical pupils, which contracted like flickering flames.

A very high temperature radiated from its body, making the surrounding air somewhat distorted.

A demon beast that looked slightly smaller than it laughed after hearing this.

"Yes."

"That Silver Scale Rhinoceros Beast suffered heavy losses this time!"

Immediately, another Crimson Flame Mad Lions took over the conversation, and its tone seemed quite disdainful of the Silver Scale Rhino King.

"It almost wiped out all the demon beasts in its territory right off the bat, leaving only a few weaklings.

And among those few weaklings, there was even a traitor, apparently called the Shadow Wolf King?"

A group of Crimson Flame Mad Lionss also joined in the mockery,

"Exactly!"

"Let it be so arrogant normally, even daring to call itself some kind of King, does it even deserve it?"

"Including that Earth Spirit Magic Tiger who went to help, it can only call itself that in these small outside places.

Do you think it would dare to call itself the Earth Spirit Magic Tiger King within its own clan?"

"Hahahahaha!"

The group of Crimson Flame Mad Lionss immediately burst into laughter.

At this moment, a Crimson Flame Mad Lions spoke,

"That Silver Scale Rhino King is also unlucky; human invasion, subordinate betrayal, and internal chaos – all these misfortunes happened to it at once."

There was also some disdain, "But speaking of it, didn't it bring all these things upon itself?"

"It serves it right!"

Saying that, it turned to the leading Crimson Flame Mad Lions and said,

"Lion King, the Silver Scale Rhino King is severely injured, and the humans have retreated.

I think now is a good opportunity, why not just take over the Vortex Forest?"

The Crimson Flame Mad Lions called the Lion King shook its head and said,

"There's no need. If I wanted to take down the Vortex Forest, why would I need the Silver Scale Rhino King to be severely injured?

Although it possesses the bloodline of an ancient fierce beast and its combat power is close to Demon Spirit Realm Sixth Stage, one move would be enough for me to take it down."

Upon hearing this, all the Crimson Flame Mad Lionss showed a hint of joy on their faces.

"What? Lion King, could it be that..."

Although the Crimson Flame Mad Lion King is at the peak of the Demon Spirit Realm.

But facing a demon beast like the Silver Scale Rhino King, which specializes in defense and possesses the bloodline of an ancient fierce beast.

Defeating it is easy, but wanting to kill it in one move is still somewhat difficult.

But the Crimson Flame Mad Lion King said he could take it down in one move, doesn't that mean he is about to break through to the Demon Transformation Realm?

The Crimson Flame Mad Lion King smiled slightly at the words, "Still a bit short, but it's getting close.

The Demon Transformation Realm is truly enchanting to demons!"

The Demon Qi Realm is the process of a wild beast transforming into a demon beast.

It allows demon beasts to initially develop intelligence, and at its peak, they can possess wisdom no less than that of humans.

The Demon Origin Realm is when demon qi transforms into demon power.

From this moment on, they can realize the materialization of their own power.

The Demon Spirit Realm is when demon power becomes more spiritual and active, no longer a simple inanimate object.

Demon beasts greatly expand their divine sense, using it to perceive all things, and at the same time, realize the materialization of demon power and divine sense.

When human martial artists reach this realm, they can condense spiritual power into weapons or other forms to face enemies.

Demon beasts can also condense demon spirits and transform them into certain things to assist themselves in battle.

However, although the weapons condensed in this realm are more convenient to use, they are ultimately not as effective as true spiritual weapons.

And demon beasts do not particularly like, nor are they very good at using human weapons.

So, whether it is martial artists or demon beasts, they all attach spiritual power or demon spirits to their weapons or claws.

Or they transform them into other things to assist in battle.

Upon reaching the Demon Transformation Realm, whether it is a martial artist or a demon beast, a thorough transformation will occur, from the inside out.

Martial artists breaking through to the Myriad Transformation Realm undergo marrow cleansing, their cultivation talent greatly increases, and any hidden injuries or side effects from cultivation.

Or methods of forcibly increasing cultivation by sacrificing certain things, etc., can all be reset, and their lifespan can reach ten thousand years.

Demon beasts, on the other hand, can shapeshift, and from then on, can freely transform between demon form and human form.

In human form, they possess all the abilities of a martial artist, and at the same time, enjoy all the benefits of a martial artist breaking through to the Myriad Transformation Realm.

And during this transformation process, the possibility of awakening their latent bloodline greatly increases.

Even if they do not awaken an ancient bloodline, it will elevate their bloodline power by a notch.

From then on, their descendants will benefit, ensuring the long-lasting prosperity of their clan.

The same applies to martial artists; the benefits of marrow cleansing can also extend to their descendants.

Making their talent stronger compared to the descendants of other martial artists.

The descendants of stronger individuals, even if the strong individual's initial talent was very weak, will still have very strong talent.

Therefore, upon receiving this news, the Crimson Flame Mad Lionss present were all incredibly excited.

What did the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan rely on to dominate the Moon Eclipse Demon Forest for many years? Wasn't it because a Demon Transformation Realm expert appeared in their clan?

It was precisely because of the existence of that Demon Transformation Realm expert that the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan did not excessively suppress the other demon beast groups in the Moon Eclipse Demon Forest.

They were high and mighty for tens of thousands of years, complacent for tens of thousands of years, and probably had long forgotten the cruelty among demon beasts.

They thought that after tens of thousands of years of suppression, these demon beasts had long been tamed by them and could be used for their purposes.

They actually did not choose to thoroughly cleanse the Moon Eclipse Demon Forest before the death of that Demon Transformation Realm Howling Moon Silver Wolf.

Unfortunately, they were disappointed, and they despaired.

Even members of the same family would turn against each other for profit, let alone demon beasts of different races?

As soon as that Demon Transformation Realm demon beast died, the Moon Eclipse Demon Forest immediately became restless.

Even if the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan was still the strongest clan in the Moon Eclipse Demon Forest at that time.

However, their biggest backing, the Demon Transformation Realm demon beast, was no longer there.

And the strength of other demon beast groups was also not to be underestimated.

Ultimately, this is what gave their Crimson Flame Mad Lions clan the opportunity to take over the Moon Eclipse Demon Forest.

And why the Earth Spirit Magic Tiger King is so amazing is also because their King is a Demon Transformation Realm demon beast.

Now, their King is also about to achieve the Demon Transformation Realm.

What does this mean?

For tens of thousands of years, their Crimson Flame Mad Lions clan can at least stand at the pinnacle of the Moon Eclipse Demon Forest for tens of thousands of years.

And this time, they will not repeat the mistake of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf clan.

The Moon Eclipse Demon Forest should also be renamed the Crimson Flame Demon Forest.
