Chapter 205: The Five Ruler’s Respond?
After his consciousness returned back to his body, Lin Wu understood what had happened back there.
“So that was bloodline resonance, huh?” Lin Wu muttered to himself.
While Lin Wu was at the Tomb and with Shirong, at the sixth ring of the millennium forest, a great uproar was currently happening.
***
A huge beetle beast awakened from its sleep and let out a loud chittering sound. This caused a lot of other insect beasts to rush to meet him. After reaching him, they all lowered their heads in submission.
“What happened, my king?” Another beetle beast that was smaller than the big one asked.
“The son of the Slim Arm Ape King has awakened its Bloodline and has become a Demon Spine Ape. But that is not all… there is another beast. A beast that has a bloodline stronger than us all… even stronger than the Demon Spine Ape.” The beetle king spoke.
All of the subjects were shocked by this and didn’t know what to say. They had known about the Demon Spine ape but this second beast that had come out of nowhere was surprising.
“What should we do now, my king?” one of the insect beasts asked.
“What are your orders?” Another beast questioned.
The beetle king thought for a bit before speaking.
“For now, we wait and see how the rest of the kings are acting. Just keep an eye out for the time being for anything unusual.” The beetle king stated.
“But my king, what should we keep an eye out for? What does the second beast look like?” the beast asked.
“I do not know. Its bloodline suppression was strong enough to overwhelm the resonance quickly. I only got to see its eyes. So for now look out for any beast that is not native to the forest or is unusually strong.” The beetle king answered.
“A beast that is not native and unusually strong? Wasn’t junior brother cricket speaking about something similar?” Someone commented.
“Yeah, he did. He even wanted an audience with our king but I told him to wait.” A smaller beetle spoke.
“Oh? What’s this about?” The beetle king asked.
“Junior brother cricket recently went out to intercept some intruders near the egg clutches and got defeated by them.” The smaller beetle replied.
“Defeated? Are the egg clutches fine?” The beetle king asked with concern.
“Yes my king, they are fine. The intruders didn’t intentionally come to the area. They were just passing by.” The smaller beetle answered.
“Hmmm… call the cricket, I’ll talk with him.” The beetle king ordered.

In a cave in the sixth ring, an ape with long arms opened its eyes. Sitting beside it was another ape, but this was much bigger than this one. It had a bony spine that jutted out of its back and red patches of fur.
It looked rather menacing and a powerful aura could be felt coming from its body, showing that it was in the Nascent Soul realm.
“Looks like we have a hidden player in the forest.” The slim-arm ape king spoke.
The Demon Spine ape opened its eyes that were bloodshot and let out a low growl.
“What should we do, father?” The demon spine ape asked.
“That is up to you now. You are a king too, what you do is not in my control anymore.” The slim arm ape said with a little smile.
“Ah! Don’t be like that father, I won’t ignore your suggestions even If I’ve become the fifth ruler of the forest.” The Demon Spine ape replied.
“Hahah! Okay, I’ll try to control myself. For now, the best course of action would be to just observe. I’m sure the beetle king would do the same while the viper king and the liger king will try to find and kill the new beast that has appeared.” The Slim arm ape spoke.
“To be honest, I want to have a fight with the new beast too. It was able to fight us all to a defeat that means it must be at the Nascent Soul realm at the very least, right?” The Demon spine ape questioned.
“Hmm… Not necessarily. If that beast is anything like your mother, then even if it is weaker and at the core condensation realm, its bloodline will still be strong enough to suppress us all. If you were a pure blood Demon spine ape, you would have been able to do the same.” The Slim Arm ape king answered.
“I understand, father.” The demon spine ape replied.

In another cave, a massive snake was raging around, breaking the rocks and walls of the cave.
“I WANT THAT BEAST DEAD!!!!” The Olive Viper king shouted.
There were a few other beasts that were standing outside the cave, scared to enter it. They knew very well that if they entered right now, they would either be smashed into meat paste or swallowed whole.
~Sigh~
“Let’s go and find it then…” One of the beasts said and the rest of them dispersed.

At the Dark Bloom Cavern, the Twin Lights Liger King was pacing around. There were a few lamp light ligers near him, waiting for his orders.
“I think it is the same beast that caused the anomaly in the fifth ring, my king. It has already killed a lot of our brothers.” One of the Lamp Light Ligers spoke.
The liger king stopped pacing and looked at his subordinates.
“Fine, go search for it then. Also, take some of your brothers and go test out the Demon Spine Ape. I want to see what the kid is like with his bloodline. He won in the battle of the bloodlines, but does he have the actual strength to back it up.” The Twin lights liger king ordered.
“YES, MY KING!” The lamp light ligers replied before going away.
~Sigh~
“What was so important that the eagle king left his seat as one of the rulers? Did he find some treasure, perhaps?” The Liger King muttered to himself.
