162: If I give you fruit, a king-level monster will fall.

"Stop fighting, all of you! We have an intruder, damn it!"

The man yelled in a hoarse, duck-like voice.

Then, countless emerald green vines appeared around the man, forcibly separating the two sides.

"An intruder? Tree King, what do you mean?"

"You all better thoroughly search the surroundings, he can't escape!"

"The storeroom, oh no!"

Snake King and Golden Cicada King quickly ran to check the storeroom, while Eagle King was still immersed in his rage, but he no longer pursued.

Only the green-haired man was frantically searching... That gaze just now was definitely full of malice!

Lin Chuan thought: What malice do I have? I was just complimenting your comfortable life!

The fight couldn't continue, and Lin Chuan openly expressed his regret.

However, he had at least witnessed the power of the Monarch Rank.

Monarch Rank against Elite Rank could no longer be described as mere suppression; the Elite Rank had no room for resistance whatsoever.

If one had to describe the suppression, it would be 100%.

The damage an Elite Rank could inflict on a Monarch Rank was 0, while a Monarch Rank's damage to an Elite Rank was infinite.

"I found you, little bug..."

Before Lin Chuan could react, his Clone was grabbed by the neck.

The green-haired man was looking at him with a sinister smile.

"A good stealth skill! However, don't you know that flowers, plants, and trees can all speak? The little grass under your feet was stepped on quite painfully..."

The man's half-male, half-female voice made Lin Chuan feel sick.

"Dare to get close to me? I'll call you the bravest!"

Lin Chuan's mind stirred, and a black fruit appeared in his hand.

"What is this?"

Before Lin Chuan could do anything, the green-haired man snatched it away.

The green-haired man felt that this fruit had a fatal attraction for him, as if he saw the hope of advancing to Divine-Grade and Awakening his Bloodline... "No, I can't let anyone know, it's best to consume it now..." In an instant, countless greedy desires rose in his heart.

Even his life-and-death partner—Vine King—couldn't know... "Gulp..."

The green-haired man swallowed the death fruit in one bite.

Lin Chuan was thrown aside.

"Roar..."

Suddenly, an angry roar rang out.

The entire mountain shook, and the storeroom's cave was completely blown open!

"The storeroom has been raided, seal off the Secret Realm..."

"Quickly notify the other Vice Hall Masters and call back all the Demon Kings with spatial tracking abilities..."

"He can't escape. As long as it's Transmigration, it will leave traces within a short time."

Snake King and Golden Cicada King quickly issued a series of orders... Just then, a towering giant tree, a thousand meters tall, suddenly revealed its form, almost completely obscuring the entire mountain peak.

"Ah... Ooh..."

A bone-chilling scream echoed between heaven and earth, directly scattering the clouds.

"Tree King, what's wrong with you?"

All the other Kings flew into the air, their eyes filled with horror.

Today's events, one after another, each exceeded their comprehension.

The Eagle King's descendant was killed, the storeroom was raided... Now, the Tree King seemed to have suffered a heavy blow!

"Ah... Ugh..."

Tree King did not respond, only continued to scream miserably, trying with all his might to vomit out what he had eaten.

On the tree trunk, a giant human face appeared, with black blood flowing from its seven orifices. A thousand branches constantly slammed against the ground, attacking indiscriminately.

Then, blackness gradually spread, and the thousand-meter-tall giant tree quickly turned completely black!

The originally lush giant tree instantly became lifeless, withered, and dilapidated.

Tree King wanted to say something, but couldn't. His body was rapidly decaying, and his Divine Soul had long been completely eroded.

All the Kings transformed into human forms, their faces pale. No one knew what had happened, only that Tree King was about to fall.

Suddenly, one of them, a voluptuous woman in a dark green miniskirt, violently spat out a mouthful of green blood, her expression listless.

"Vine King, what's wrong?"

"Tree King has fallen, I forcibly terminated the contract."

The woman's face was grim, with both sorrow and anger in her eyes, but also a hint of relief.

If the master had even the slightest unwillingness, the beast could not forcibly terminate the contract. The woman also waited until the last moment, the instant Tree King's consciousness completely dissipated, before making up her mind.

She had finally advanced to Monarch Rank, and couldn't be buried with him like this. She also had to avenge Tree King... The one who harmed Tree King, she would dismember him into a thousand pieces!

Lin Chuan quietly dismissed his Clone only after confirming that Tree King was completely dead, unnoticed by anyone.

The reason, of course, was the Death Qi from the fallen Monarch Rank.

Originally, he didn't even plan to let go of Tree King's corpse, but unfortunately, Tree King's struggle before death collapsed many parts of the mountain. Lin Chuan was directly blasted several hundred meters away, almost dying on the spot.

With seven Monarch Rank experts guarding above, Lin Chuan estimated that even a slight movement would be detected.

So, he simply played dead, allowing the rocks to bury him.

The fall of Tree King provided enough Death Qi to ripen two death fruits and a little more.

This wave was definitely not a loss.

But Lin Chuan knew that the next time he killed a Monarch Rank, there might not be as much.

Just like at the beginning, the first death fruit only required hundreds of Elite Rank, but now, killing Commander Rank was useless.

death fruits still had to be used sparingly, like good steel on the edge of a blade.

As for why he used it just now, it was purely because he couldn't resist.

A Monarch Rank came right up to him, saying 'hit me, hit me'... Who could resist that?

The Monarch Rank crystal core would have to be retrieved next time... The Secret Realm mountain peak was now a mess.

Many of the palaces on the mountaintop were destroyed, the storeroom exploded, the slave stone hall collapsed... In just two days, the once flourishing Ten Thousand Demon Palace had become this ghost-like state.

Tree King's corpse was taken away by the beautiful woman, Vine King. Although the others coveted the Monarch Rank crystal core, they had no objections.

After all, they were a family, and she was grieving right now.

Moreover, Tree King's cause of death was obvious at a glance: he was poisoned, and it was incredibly potent. Tree King himself had poison resistance, yet he was poisoned to death, so they dared not touch it easily.

Now, there was a whole host of other matters waiting for them to deal with within the Secret Realm.

Even Eagle King could only temporarily put aside his hatred and prioritize the bigger picture.

Soon, they discovered that the bad news didn't stop there.

The Flame Rat King, Ice Wolf King, Leopard King... the descendants of over twenty Monarch Rank experts had all disappeared!

It was the kind of disappearance where they vanished into thin air, without any trace of their Qi.

The residual Qi indicated that these young beast cubs had never left this mountain.

"Damn it, who the hell did this?!"

Even the usually good-tempered Golden Cicada King couldn't help but curse loudly.

"Shit, it's over..."

Golden Cicada King regretted it too late. He had only returned to rest his feet and encountered such a big incident. If he had known, he wouldn't have come back.

Now, such a huge burden, no one could bear it.

Snake King and Eagle King next to him also had headaches. It wouldn't be long before the other Vice Hall Masters returned.

Although not all the Guardian Demon Kings would return, as soon as the news of their descendants' disappearance leaked, they would definitely all rush back.

At that time, the wrath of over twenty Demon Kings would be something these Vice Hall Masters couldn't withstand either.
