“Maybe.”
Mei Changge did not care about the figure of the Thousand Heads race.
Instead, his gaze landed on King Mandrill, and excitement flashed in his eyes.
Rather than staring at King Mandrill, it was more like staring at the black lotus flower that had formed around King Mandrill.
It was a Lotus Treasure.
As long as he obtained that Lotus Treasure, his Blessed Land would be able to advance to Grade 5, and his strength might even increase by another level.
When Mei Changge brought Xu Chu to Mandrill City, he did not contact Song Yubai and the others immediately. He did not even inform Xu Ding, who was outside.
Instead, he used a treasure to hide with the Golden Crow Guards.
Cloud Umbrella
Grade: 7
Introduction: Releases a cloud concealment formation and hides one’s figure.
It was precisely because of this treasure that Mei Changge, Xu Chu, and the other Golden Crow Guards did not attract everyone’s attention.
When Mei Changge rushed to Mandrill City with the Golden Crow Guards, he felt two auras nearby. These auras were even thicker than his.
This also made Mei Changge not in a hurry to appear.
“My lord, look at those four figures. They look identical!”
Xu Chu pointed at the four figures who had set up the Four Purple Sun Array.
“That’s because those are the vessels of the Thousand Heads race. The real one hasn’t appeared yet!”
Mei Changge’s eyes were solemn as he stared at the spiritual formation formed by the purple flames.
“Aren’t you coming out?”
As soon as Mei Changge finished speaking, King Mandrill, who was enveloped in the spiritual formation, said calmly.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
“As expected of the King Mandrill! You know that this body is not the real me!”
A figure appeared in the Four Purple Sun Array and looked at King Mandrill.
“Cut the crap and attack! ”
King Mandrill’s pupils constricted as he looked at the figure that had just appeared.
It could sense a strong Mandrill bloodline from this figure that was similar to the bloodline power in his body.
“70%! What kind of race is this Thousand Hands race?!”
King Mandrill’s heart sank. If he didn’t know that the figure in front of him was from the Thousand Hands race, he would have thought that another King of the Mandrill race had appeared.
“But… if I integrate him into the Mandrill Pool…”
King Mandrill’s eyes flickered with uncertainty. He hailed from a realm known as the Mandrill Realm, where, apart from the Mandrill royal family to which he belonged, there was said to exist another prestigious and powerful Mandrill royal family. Regrettably, he had never encountered this supposed royal family.
He had never even seen them before.
At one point, he had regarded the Mandrill royal family as a mere legend, but ever since he came into possession of the Mandrill Pool, his belief in the existence of the so-called Mandrill royal family had grown stronger.
“Power of the Mountain God, Millennium Mountain! Boost!”
Even though this newly emerged figure bore some resemblance to the figures comprising the formation, it lacked the singular horn on its forehead. If it weren’t for that pair of light red and green eyes, everyone would believe that it was a human.
“As expected, I’ve also obtained the blessing of the Mountain God!” King Mandrill was alarmed when he heard 9’s words.
Even though he borrowed the Power of the Mountain God, if he could genuinely earn the Mountain God’s favor and reputation, it would be akin to receiving the Mountain God’s blessing.
The power he obtained also multiplied.
“Power of the Mountain God, Myriad Crow Mountain! Boost!”
King Mandrill’s expression was solemn. Then, he mobilized the spiritual energy in his body and communicated with the will in his mind. Instantly, a force appeared on his body.
In the eyes of the Mandrill race, this was the blessing of the Mountain God. However, in Mei Changge’s opinion, this was the so-called divine arts.
Regarding the so-called Millennium Mountain and Myriad Crow Mountain, they likely represented distinct powers within their divine arts, thus explaining the differences in their names.
“But isn’t King Mandrill in the Dharma realm? Could it be that the power of the curse is still present and has affected him?”
Mei Changge, who was enveloped by the umbrella, had a glint in his eyes.
However, he did not do anything else.
At that moment, he was like a hunter waiting for the two beasts to kill each other.
Even Xu Chu, who had been talking just now, stared intently at the Four Purple Sun Array and fell silent.
“Hahaha, you’ve indeed fallen from the Dharma realm!”
A loud laugh came from 9, and a life aura kept increasing on his body.
Had it not been hovering in the sky, an abundance of vegetation would have grown vigorously beneath its feet. The life force emanating from its body was incredibly potent.
This was the power of his divine power from the Millennium Mountain.
On the other side, King Mandrill exuded a strong and frenzied aura.
Furthermore, there was a faint, almost imperceptible silhouette trailing behind him. Regrettably, it didn’t fully materialize.
“Even if I’ve fallen from the Dharma realm, vanquishing you will suffice!” King Mandrill’s tone was calm. But before he could finish speaking..
His colossal form materialized instantaneously in front of 9, and his green-skinned thigh swung toward 9.
Swish!
9 did not expect King Mandrill to be so fast. It was too late to dodge. In the end, he crossed his hands in front of his chest, quickly gathering his life force in front of his chest.
A pale green light formed a round shield that blocked King Mandrill’s attack.
However, the power was so strong that 9 took a few steps back, arriving in front of the purple flames formed by the formation.
“Such powerful strength!”
9’s gaze turned solemn. Although the purple flames wouldn’t harm him, the sheer power displayed by King Mandrill had caused a slight ache in his hands. However, the pale green light flowed on his arm for a while, and quickly recovered.
“Is he no longer in the Dharma realm?”
Mei Changge’s eyes lit up. With the strength displayed by the two of them, they were at most Transcendent Level 9. From 9, Mei Changge learned that King Mandrill’s strength should have fallen from the Dharma realm.
In that case, Mei Changge was considering whether to attack now.
Below them, the battle between the Mandrill race and the foreign races had ended. Strange figures crawled up from the ground and rushed toward Mandrill City crazily.
Even the corpses of the Forest race and the Mandrill race were snatched by the Thousand Heads race.
Mei Changge’s expression grew serious as he observed the renewed battle between King Mandrill and 9. At that moment, it felt as though two small individuals were engaged in a heated argument within his mind.
“Didn’t you want to be a king? Why would a king hide in the dark?!”
“No, it’s the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole lurks behind, that’s the wise choice!”
“What is a king? A king is authoritative! Are you afraid of just two foreign race leaders? Besides, you have the Golden Crow Guards at your back!”
Mei Changge’s eyes kept flickering, but he quickly thought it through.
“Xu Chu, get ready for battle!”
Mei Changge said to Xu Chu with a serious expression.
He was not a hunter. If he were one, he could patiently wait for the battle between the two to end before cleaning up the mess.
The path he took was not only the path of a king but also the path of Destiny.
If Guo Jia were beside him, he would ask him to wait for the battle between King Mandrill and 9 to end because Guo Jia was a strategist.
He would also listen to Guo Jia’s suggestions, but the latter wasn’t present at that moment.
How could he go on concealing himself? Most importantly, King Mandrill had already descended from the Dharma realm, and his concerns naturally dissipated.
Despite a slight disparity in realms, as a prospective king, if he had to remain concealed in the shadows in the same realm, why would he pursue the path of a king and the path of Destiny?
“Yes, my lord!”
Xu Chu’s expression was solemn and a hint of excitement flashed across his eyes.
He had long had enough of staying under this umbrella.
The path of a king should be tyrannical!!
As Mei Changge made his decision, he raised his palm and instantly closed the umbrella above his head.
The cloud concealment formation dissipated.
Mei Changge appeared in the sky above the battlefield with 10,000 Golden Crow Guards.
A huge aura enveloped all the Golden Crow Guards.
Li Xin, Song Yubai, and the others were withdrawing from the battlefield with their soldiers. Li Xin immediately noticed the sudden appearance of many figures on the battlefield.
“I am the lord of the Green Lotus Territory, and I’ve come to challenge the two of you for the title of king! ”
Mei Changge’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit. There was even a faint golden lotus flower appearing in his eyes.
His appearance was immediately noticed by King Mandrill and 9.
Battle intent surged out of Mei Changge’s body, and a powerful aura enveloped King Mandrill and 9.
“Hahaha! Good!”
King Mandrill sensed the aura that surged from Mei Changge and immediately laughed.
“Interesting, competing for the king’s title?”
When 9 saw Mei Changge’s sudden appearance, his eyes flickered slightly. He sensed that Mei Changge should be one of the lords of the human race..
