Xiaoxiao.

Kuang Zheng took a deep breath and continued, "What's even more terrifying is that the three lords among the savage beasts, in order to further strengthen their own power, are constantly driving numerous savage beasts to launch large-scale invasions."

Therefore, from that moment on, the purpose of the beasts' wars underwent a fundamental change. They no longer fought to defend their homeland, but were reduced to killing machines that pursued the growth of their individual strength.

They indiscriminately slaughter innocent humans, all so that their lord may one day regain the awe-inspiring power of their ancestors!

"What? The three lords? Could it be that these ferocious beasts are hiding their own powerful forces behind them?" Wu Ren's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

At this point, it is obviously meaningless to dwell on the rights and wrongs of the initial battle between humans and beasts. However, understanding the power structure of the Wilderness is crucial for their future survival in this perilous land.

Therefore, when he heard that there were three lords behind the savage beast who controlled everything, Wu Ren's attention was instantly drawn to them.

Indeed, deep within the white dragon's mind, there remained profound memories of the three great lords.

These three lords each occupied their own territory, exuding power and prestige.

The first one to mention is the Thunderscale Devouring Python located on Mount Jilei. Its body is covered with scales that shimmer like lightning, making it awe-inspiring.

Furthermore, there is the Vermilion Fruit King, also known as the Vermilion Immortal, who reigns supreme on Noguchi Ridge. Legend has it that it guards a mysterious and precious Vermilion Fruit Garden;

Finally, there is the Crimson Shadow Fox, which resides in the Ten Mile Cave. This fox is elusive, extremely fast, and its strength is unfathomable.

If we were to say which of these three is the most powerful, it would undoubtedly be the Crimson Fox.

It had already broken through to the Golden Core stage a thousand years ago, which shows how terrifying its strength was.

Following closely behind was the Vermilion Fruit King. Back then, the Vermilion Immortal was only one step away from the Golden Core stage. If it weren't for the lack of opportunity, he would probably have become a hegemon by now.

As for the Black-Scaled Sky-Swallowing Python, although its strength is slightly inferior to the previous two, it relies on its enormous body and the super strong defense provided by its iron-hard, abnormally strong black scales. Even when it faces the Crimson Shadow Fox head-on, it is not at a disadvantage at all.

The Shili Cave is situated right in the center of the vast and boundless wilderness, with Jilei Mountain lying quietly to its left and Yekou Ridge to its right.

In this way, the territories of the three lords echoed each other, forming a perfect triangular shape, firmly controlling the core area of ​​the entire wilderness.

After Kuang Zheng recounted this story with great familiarity, Ying Yue, standing to the side, couldn't help but ask with a face full of curiosity, "Why did all these things happen ten thousand years ago?"

Kuang Zheng smiled slightly and patiently explained, "It's because that white dragon failed to transcend its tribulation ten thousand years ago, causing all its memories to be forever frozen in that turbulent era ten thousand years ago!"

After hearing this, Wu Ren exclaimed, "Heavens! The three lords were all Golden Core stage experts ten thousand years ago. Now that ten thousand years have passed, even if they haven't undergone tribulation and transformed into human form, they probably aren't far off, right? This Zhu Xian also has a grudge against us. If we encounter him, how will we survive?"

Upon hearing this, Kuang Zheng laughed and said, "This Zhu Xian is not that Zhu Xian!"

Ying Yue asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Kuang Zheng explained, "The three lords actually existed as early as when the white dragon was young, but they were not always just the three wild beasts they were at the beginning."

Ying Yue immediately grasped the key point and eagerly asked, "You mean the three great lords are similar to the three great empires of humanity, with the country's name always being Qin, Han, and Tang. But the rulers have changed many times, right?"

"Yue'er is so smart," Kuang Zheng praised sincerely.

He then added, "Although we don't know the current strength of the three lords, they shouldn't exceed the Golden Core stage. This is because on Penglai Planet, where spiritual energy is depleted, the highest level of cultivation is only the Golden Core stage."

Upon hearing this answer, the two immediately felt relieved. While the Golden Core stage was terrifying, it wasn't unattainable. However, they had no hope of facing a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator or even a giant demon that had successfully transformed into human form.

But is the truth really as Kuang Zheng says?

Kuang Zheng turned his head slightly, glanced at Wu Ren beside him, and continued, "The memories that suddenly appeared in Wu Ren's mind were actually fragments of memories scattered when the White Dragon used the 'Soul Searching Technique' to survey Penglai Planet."

These fragmented memories were absorbed by the mysterious inheritance within Wu Ren, which is why he was able to 'see' all of Lü Chunyang's past experiences.

Upon hearing this, Wu Ren exclaimed as if waking from a dream, "No wonder the memory fragments I obtained spanned such a vast period of time, and were all fragmented and unsystematic. So that's why! This white dragon is truly terrifyingly powerful!"

It dwells in the vast wilderness, yet it can freely spy on the memories of anyone under heaven without being detected—it's truly terrifying!

Kuang Zheng nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly, "That's right! You should know that long before the White Flood Dragon underwent its Heavenly Tribulation, it already possessed the formidable strength of level eleven. It's just a pity that it failed to transform at level twelve. If it had succeeded, perhaps the White Flood Dragon would have already successfully transformed into a dragon!"

You must know what the phrase 'transformation into a dragon' means! Any being that can be associated with a dragon is certainly no ordinary being."

"The Vermilion Fruits you absorbed before, including the four times they appeared on Penglai Planet, were actually just a wisp of the Vermilion Fruit King's 'Fruit Spirit'."

The Fruit Spirits are the strongest under Zhu Xian's command and the most magical type in the Zhu Fruit Garden of Wild Mouth Ridge. They have unexpectedly developed sentience.

These fruit spirits, nurtured by Zhu Xian, are extremely powerful, and because of their supernatural abilities, they, like Zhu Xian, can "transform into human form."

"If you ever encounter other humans in the wilderness, be careful; they are most likely fruit spirits under Zhu Xian's command," Kuang Zheng explained.

"The Vermilion Fruit King used the clone technique to extract parts of the Fruit Spirit's physical body and then placed these bodies in the human world. They used the innate human body as a 'furnace' to convert energy into spiritual energy. Once the conversion is complete, the Vermilion Fruit King will extract the spiritual energy from the 'furnace'," Kuang Zheng added.

"So, does that mean we and King Zhu Guo have long been sworn enemies?" Ying Yue said.

"It's too early to say now, but if you can cultivate to the Golden Core stage, that will be the time for it to come knocking on your door to claim your lives. However, there's no need to worry too much, as the Vermilion Fruit King did not leave any divine consciousness on the Vermilion Fruits you absorbed back then."

"So even if it comes knocking one day, there won't be the situation like Lü Chunyang and the others where their spiritual energy suddenly goes out of control. At worst, it'll just be a fierce battle," Kuang Zheng laughed.

Wu Ren asked curiously, "Why is that?"

Kuang Zheng said, "At first I didn't know either. It wasn't until the white dragon's energy was absorbed by my sea of ​​consciousness that I realized that it was my sea of ​​consciousness that forced the fruit spirit consciousness out of the vermilion fruit's body."

"Hmph! Wait for them to come knocking on our door? We'll have to go to them ourselves!" Ying Yue was furious.

What was obtained with great difficulty turned out to be a complete conspiracy. No one who found out about this would be in a good mood!

“Exactly! We still need to get an explanation from them! We’ll see who’s more skilled then.” Wu Ren chimed in from the side.
