Mighty Lord

Chapter 1370: Chapter 515: Arriving with Longing

Zhou Tian certainly had not anticipated that things would proceed so smoothly, nor did he harbor any hope for the final battle results.

Zhou Tian considered the lion to be so formidable that, even if he could eventually take the opponent by surprise according to his plan, he estimated that the lion’s resistance would surely inflict heavy losses on him. And even if he ultimately triumphed, according to Zhou Tian’s original thoughts, he also believed that the lion’s corpse would be incinerated by the volcano. After all, no matter how strong the living beings are while alive, once they die, their physical defense strength is inevitably going to weaken significantly.

Thus, according to Zhou Tian’s original plan, once he had successfully killed that lion, he would assume that the lion’s corpse would definitely be destroyed by the magma, and in that case, the gains Zhou Tian had worked hard for a long time would naturally be completely lost due to the lion’s corpse being incinerated.

However, when things actually developed to that point, the final outcome did make Zhou Tian feel somewhat surprised.

How could Zhou Tian possibly have imagined that, despite cultivating the fire-fearing Golden Law, once the lion died, its corpse could still remain undamaged in the magma? Since the lion’s corpse was preserved, at that moment Zhou Tian, calculating this way, did indeed end up with some gains.

As a result, Zhou Tian naturally could not be courteous with that lion, for previously they had been implacable enemies. Now that the lion’s corpse had fallen into Zhou Tian’s hands, anyone would understand that Zhou Tian could not possibly let go of his opponent so easily.

So, not long after successfully taking down that lion, and because he had not easily killed that formidable enemy before him, Zhou Tian instantly became excited at the time and began to collect his spoils of war, using the volcano as an oven, Zhou Tian immediately began to eat on top of the volcano.

As expected, there were no surprises, the lion, while alive, could not defeat Zhou Tian, and regardless of its strength when alive, once dead, the lion was merely Zhou Tian’s food.

However, although Zhou Tian achieved the ultimate victory in the battle against the lion, and even though the lion had ultimately become his food, it was not long after Zhou Tian successfully killed the lion that he encountered a series of subsequent troubles.

Unlike the living beings Zhou Tian had previously dealt with. Initially, those Zhou Tian cleaned up were just ordinary living beings of this world. Although there weren’t many living beings in that world, as the lowest existence, countless died every day, so even if Zhou Tian made extensive use of the rules of that world to hunt and kill living beings, his actions were unlikely to attract the attention of the powerful creatures of that world.

Afterward, even though Zhou Tian’s actions of devouring a large number of large-sized creatures had attracted the attention of some powerful creatures, after all, what Zhou Tian did was still within the strength range of ordinary living beings. Therefore, although some creatures began to take notice of Zhou Tian, the possibility of Zhou Tian being targeted by a large number of powerful creatures in that world was something that could not happen.

It was only after Zhou Tian had successfully killed the lion that his situation in that world inevitably underwent some fundamental changes at that time.

For those powerful creatures, if they had ignored this outsider named Zhou Tian at first, they later saw him merely as an entity fighting for food. It was only now, after the lion died at Zhou Tian’s hands, that the creatures aware of this fact truly began to perceive Zhou Tian as an enemy that could threaten their lives. freewebnøvel.com

Given the lion’s abilities, perhaps in terms of strength, it really could not be considered a very powerful existence in this world. Basically, in this world most of the top living beings have combat power that is certainly above it. However, although not strong in combat, in terms of defense power, the lion’s strength could definitely be firmly ranked within the most elite group of living beings.

And now, such a troublesome creature had perished at Zhou Tian’s hands. Though Zhou Tian had relied on geographic advantage to overcome his opponent, no matter what, his ability to kill the lion still demonstrated his strength. And now, seeing that Zhou Tian had actually managed to defeat the lion, they inevitably felt threatened by Zhou Tian at that time.

If Zhou Tian could kill the lion today, then tomorrow Zhou Tian would naturally just as well be able to defeat those creatures whose strength was on the same level as the lion. Thus, based on Zhou Tian’s performance at that time, it was clearly inevitable that that group of living beings would formally perceive him as a threat.

Feeling the threat that Zhou Tian posed to them, those creatures had to take different actions in response to Zhou Tian’s performance.

Some creatures, knowing Zhou Tian’s strength, did not want to have any conflict with such a powerful being, and considering the situation at that time, they directly made the decision to avoid Zhou Tian as much as possible.
