The appearance of the Beast King caused the entire space to warp, as if power was being siphoned away, leaving everyone feeling suffocated.
This was the effect of immense power, the fear of overwhelming strength.
Everyone knew the Beast King was a Saint Emperor in the early stages, and this knowledge immediately placed them under immense psychological pressure.
Sometimes, psychological pressure was the greatest pressure of all.
Zhen Kaitian, for one, was pale beyond compare, unsure if it was due to his recent injuries or his own fear. He struggled to adapt to the current situation.
Especially with the Beast King resting one hand on the sarcophagus, Zhen Kaitian felt as if his heart was being squeezed, his breathing becoming labored.
"This is bad, truly bad. The human race is in for great calamity," Zhen Kaitian muttered to himself in fright, his expression one of impending doom.
Among everyone present, only Zhen Kaitian seemed utterly devastated, his face drained of all color.
This was because Zhen Kaitian was the only one kept in the dark, completely unaware of Xia Feng's existence.
Under everyone's gaze, the Beast King slowly sat up within the sarcophagus.
The moment the Beast King sat up, the heavens and earth seemed to change color. The Beast King was indeed a Saint Emperor from ancient times; its presence and the sheer aura of deterrence it exuded were enough to strike terror into the hearts of all.
Was this the Beast Sovereign?
Was this the legendary being?
This... this was too powerful!!
Such exclamations rose from the hearts of every beastman. Though they were of the beast race, none had ever seen the Beast King before, not even Lord Gulu.
"Roar..." a low growl from the Beast King echoed, shaking the heavens and earth, instilling fear and suffocation.
This single roar caused the entire alien beast city to tremble, as if the very ground was afraid, swaying precariously. Humans hiding in their homes were terrified beyond measure.
The Beast King rose from the coffin, its colossal form like a mountain, radiating majesty, ferocity, and dominance.
Standing ten feet tall, the Beast King was far larger than even some of the grandest demonic beasts. Its eyes burned with two infernos, and an unparalleled aura erupted from it.
"Roar!!" the Beast King roared again, the sound like rolling thunder echoing across the entire sky, leaving people disoriented.
Witnessing the Beast King's terrifying bulk, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
This Beast King was truly, truly strong.
Perhaps it was an inability to comprehend the power of a Saint Emperor, but the Beast King's presence was undeniably terrifying.
"Bang!" Suddenly, the Beast Sovereign kicked the sarcophagus away with immense force. The coffin crashed against a nearby mountain wall.
This sight moved everyone present.
Under the astonished eyes of all, the Beast Sovereign's footsteps moved towards the sarcophagus.
"Rumble..." The Beast Sovereign reached the front of the coffin and placed its foot upon the lid.
Then, with a gaze that swept across the land, the Beast King's voice, filled with dread, boomed, "Who? Who dares awaken this Emperor?"
No one dared to answer the Beast King's question. Zhen Kaitian, meanwhile, was completely petrified, his will to live seemingly extinguished.
With the Beast King's emergence, he knew the world was about to change.
As the Beast King's query hung in the air, unanswered, and just as the Beast King was about to unleash its fury, Xia Feng slowly rose and said leisurely:
"I was the one who had you awakened."
The Beast King's gaze sharpened as it turned towards Xia Feng, its voice laced with killing intent, "Human, you court death."
Zhen Kaitian glanced at Xia Feng with terror, his face etched with curiosity and bewilderment.
A faint smile touched Xia Feng's lips:
"I awakened you to send you to heaven."
