He didn't even make any big moves, didn't dodge, and didn't gather any amazing energy to fight back.

He simply raised a hand covered in black armor, palm facing forward, a strange, dark halo that seemed to absorb all light flowing in his palm.

When the incredibly powerful torrent of Seven Wounds Tribulation energy crashed down upon them, a scene unfolded that left everyone speechless.

The Lion King's violent energy, powerful enough to melt gold and corrode stone, vanished without a trace the moment it touched his palm, like a mud ox sinking into the sea or a snowflake falling into boiling water. It didn't even cause an explosion; it simply disappeared without a sound, without stirring up the slightest ripple, as if it had never existed.

This is the unique skill of the Insulating Claw, which was obtained from Tu Shan Hong Hong. After Qin Chuan integrated and improved it, transcending the limitations of world rules, it is no longer just for demonic power and magic power.

Any attack, regardless of its form, that he can understand in terms of its energy composition and operating principles can be almost absolutely isolated, decomposed, and nullified to a certain extent.

Although the Lion King's Seven Wounds Calamity energy is strong, its essence is still within Qin Chuan's current understanding of alien energy.

The Lion King stared in disbelief at his ultimate technique, which embodied all his beliefs and strength.

His last shred of competitive spirit was extinguished by the opponent's seemingly effortless and almost bizarre response, replaced by a profound sense of powerlessness and shock.

This was completely beyond his understanding of power.

The Lion King took a deep breath, dispersing the surging energy around him. His face was filled with complex emotions as he said in a deep voice:

"I lost... I admit defeat wholeheartedly. But why didn't you use your full strength? Do you think I, the Lion King, am unworthy of your all?"

This was his final pride and question as a soldier.

Qin Chuan shook his head, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority:

"Don't misunderstand, it's not about belittling him. I just want my future trusted general to fully demonstrate his strength and potential, so I can get to know him better. Suppressing his power is to give you a chance to show it."

Such a natural yet domineering reason left the Lion King speechless for a moment, but he was inexplicably touched deep in his heart.

The opponent not only far surpasses himself in strength, but also possesses a commanding presence that allows him to see the big picture and control everything.

This was a kind of demeanor he had never felt from any strong person.

He is a true warrior who believes in the law of the underworld, the law of the jungle, but he respects true strongmen even more, especially those who possess absolute strength yet still give their opponents respect and fairness.

Defeated by such an unfathomable opponent, he was completely convinced and even felt a desire to follow the strong and witness a wider world.

Without further hesitation, the Lion King stepped forward, knelt on one knee in front of all the wolf and lion clan members, lowered his usually proud head, and spoke in a loud and firm voice:

"Lion King of the Lion Clan, we are willing to lead our entire clan to submit to you! We will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

The golden lion, the silver lion, and all the lion elites were filled with shock and disbelief.

Seeing that their leader had already submitted willingly, they all suppressed their inner turmoil, knelt down on one knee in unison, lowered their heads, and swore allegiance in unison: "We are willing to submit to you!"

The law of the jungle, where the weak are prey to the strong, and the weak submit to the strong, is an unchanging law of the underworld, etched deep into the souls of every race. At this moment, it is manifested most directly and thoroughly.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the wolf pack erupted in wild cheers, many even moved to tears.

They knew that the darkness that had suppressed them for countless years was about to pass, and that a new era of the wolf clan's rise was about to begin in the hands of this new clan leader, this powerful figure who displayed the aura of Hades!

Chapter 4 Hades!

Having subdued the Lion King and the entire Lion Clan in one battle, Qin Chuan has laid the initial foundation for himself in this vast and cruel world of super beasts, acquiring his first decent piece of the puzzle.

Although he knew perfectly well that with the Lion Clan's current strength, compared to the seven parallel universes filled with powerful beings, they might still be as insignificant as ants, they were worlds apart from the Wolf Clan, which was now reduced to the old, weak, sick, and disabled and barely clinging to life on the verge of extinction.

At least, the Lion Clan has a considerable number of young and strong men, with robust physiques and vigorous blood, possessing the valuable potential to be forged into qualified warriors.

However, judging from Qin Chuan's discerning eye honed through countless worlds, only three people in the entire Lion Clan truly deserve the title of "warrior": the Lion King, the Golden Lion, and the Silver Lion.

This is not because the Lion Clan is incompetent; the root cause lies in the enormous limitations of the Super Beast World's power system itself, and its excessive reliance on the external "Power Lock."

Qin Chuan, with his insightful understanding, had already discerned that the superpower lock itself could not create superpowers out of thin air; it was more like an exquisitely crafted yet almost unique key.

Its core function is to stimulate and guide the dormant potential within the user's body, enabling that innate alien energy to operate efficiently, stably, and concretely, until it triggers the miracle of the super beast weapon.

This directly leads to a serious problem: people without superpower locks are like guarding a treasure mountain full of rich resources, but unable to find the key to open the mountain gate, and they will never be able to reach the true limit of their own power in their entire lives.

In other words, the world of super beasts generally lacks a basic method for systematically cultivating and guiding alien energy, so that even without a rare item like the Ability Lock, one can steadily grow stronger through their own efforts.

Therefore, after successfully subduing the Lion King and relocating the remaining wolf clan members to the more prosperous and safer lion clan settlement, the first major task Qin Chuan had to undertake was not to rush into expanding his territory, but to fundamentally solidify the foundation of his forces.

He plans to create a widely applicable guiding technique based on the core principle of "belief-driven energy" in the Super Beast World, combined with his own understanding of different power systems.

This technique may not be able to match the exaggerated effect of the Superpower Lock in instantly unleashing potential, but its advantage lies in its replicability and inheritance.

The superpower lock is extremely precious, a strategic weapon that is hard to come by, while the cultivation method can benefit every loyal warrior, enabling a leap in overall strength.

Creating a cultivation method, especially the foundational method of a system, is nothing short of a pipe dream for ordinary strong individuals; it is a feat of creating something out of nothing.

But Qin Chuan was no ordinary person.

He had preached throughout the world of fox spirits, enlightening all living beings and being revered as a half-master. He had a profound understanding of guiding life's cultivation and tapping into potential. Furthermore, he had glimpsed the mysteries of the universe's underlying laws in the world of gods, and his vision had long since transcended the shackles of a single system.

Once the direction is clear, creating a guiding technique tailored for the Super Beast World will be a mental and physical challenge for him, though it will require considerable effort.

Therefore, after entrusting the Lion King with all the complicated matters following the merger of the two tribes, such as population resettlement, resource integration, and the formulation of new rules, Qin Chuan chose to go into seclusion.

In his original destiny, the Lion King was an indispensable steward under Hades, acting with composure, decisiveness, and skill in governance.

After a brief encounter, Qin Chuan was convinced that he had not misjudged the person and was happy to become a hands-off manager, immersing himself in the in-depth analysis of the superpower lock and the derivation and creation of new techniques.

For the past month, the Lion King has strictly followed orders to ensure absolute quiet in the core area of ​​the settlement, so that no one can disturb Qin Chuan's meditation.

As for what kind of profound cultivation his lord was undergoing in the secret chamber, he had no idea, only assuming that he was simply improving his strength.

As the sun rises and sets, the eternally dark sun of the underworld endlessly traverses the sky, casting its pale light upon the barren earth.

In the blink of an eye, a whole month has quietly passed.

On this day, in a simple stone chamber that had been temporarily set up and could only accommodate one person sitting cross-legged, Qin Chuan slowly opened his eyes.

In his palm, the superpower lock he had obtained from the wolf clan was emitting a faint light. The shifting light seemed to resonate in a strange way with the rhythm of his long breaths.

During this month, he devoted seven or eight tenths of his energy to meticulously analyzing the most fundamental working principle of the superpower lock, understanding how it accurately captures the belief fluctuations of living beings and generates energy interaction with them.

For him, once he thoroughly understood this core "Tao," creating specific "techniques" felt like a natural process, and it didn't take too much time.

"The technique has been initially mastered, but theory is still just theory. It still needs to be tested in practice to verify its universality and safety."

Qin Chuan silently recited the command, casually put away the superpower lock, stood up, and pushed open the stone door of the quiet room.

Just then, the Lion King approached with a respectful expression, clearly dealing with some thorny issues arising from the merger of the tribes, which required Qin Chuan, the supreme leader, to make the final decision.

However, as soon as he got closer, before he could even speak, he was so shocked by the sudden scene before him that his pupils shrank and he froze on the spot, completely forgetting what he was supposed to report!

Qin Chuan, who was standing quietly in the courtyard, was not wearing any special ability locks. However, with a slight thought, a deep and shrewd light flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, a vast and pure alien energy surged out from his body, like a living black flame, instantly enveloping his entire body!

The dark energy light rapidly condensed and solidified, and in the blink of an eye, the pure black, ferocious armor with cold wolf head shoulder armor had completely covered his body!

This shocking scene was not over yet, but an even more powerful energy wave, which made people tremble with their souls, spread out like a tide!

A colossal, majestic steel behemoth, exuding an aura of icy death, rose abruptly from the ground beneath Qin Chuan's feet.

Its enormous shadow instantly enveloped half of the settlement, and the invisible pressure made all the living beings that sensed it tremble!

"No... without relying on the power lock... directly... super beast armament?! How is that possible!"

The Lion King gazed up at the giant mechanical wolf that seemed to have come from the underworld, his voice trembling uncontrollably with extreme shock.

In his mind, this was simply a miracle that defied all reason!

Legend has it that only those with superhuman energy at least three times the level of black holes, who have mastered the control of their own energy and beliefs to the highest degree, can completely break free from their dependence on external superhuman energy locks and complete the Super Beast Armor through their own will!

Such figures are extremely rare in the vast seven parallel universes; they are the very pinnacle of existence!

Could it be that the master's strength has increased to such an unbelievable, legendary level in just one month of seclusion?

The Super Beast Armed form did not last long, as if it was only to verify a certain possibility.

A few breaths later, the eerie light flickered again, and the enormous creature quickly dissipated. Qin Chuan's figure landed lightly from the air and stood steadily on the ground.

His expression remained calm and composed as always, as if the astonishing scene just now was nothing more than a trivial matter that he could easily handle, and even his breathing remained completely undisturbed.

Seeing that the Lion King was still immersed in the great shock, Qin Chuan smiled slightly and took the initiative to say, "Lion King, you've come at the right time."

Startled awake by the sound, the Lion King quickly composed himself, suppressing his turbulent emotions and bowing respectfully, saying, "Master...Master, you have emerged from seclusion."

His tone held an even greater, more indescribable reverence than before.

Qin Chuan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

The title "master" always made him feel that it carried a hint of enslavement from the old era, which did not quite match the more cohesive and centripetal relationship between ruler and subject or superior and subordinate that he sought in his heart.

As for titles like "Wolf King" or "Wolf Lord," which are limited to a single group, he felt they were too narrow-minded and far from matching the magnificent future he envisioned.

Since you already know your destiny in this world, why not announce your destined title in advance?

An appropriate title can set the tone, reveal ambition, and unite people's hearts.

"Lion King," Qin Chuan spoke, his voice not loud, but carrying a mature and authoritative air that clearly reached the Lion King's ears, "From now on, you may call me 'King of the Underworld'."

The Lion King was about to begin reporting on the backlog of tasks when he heard this, and he was suddenly stunned, as if struck by an invisible lightning bolt.

He subconsciously raised his head and looked at Qin Chuan, a moment of blankness and confusion flashing in his eyes, as if he was digesting the meaning of those two words.

Then, as if a thunderclap had exploded, the fog dissipated!

A clear and magnificent picture suddenly unfolded in his mind!

This is not the title of the leader of any known powerful force, but its literal meaning is all too clear—the ruler of the underworld!

How could the master have such lofty ambitions to devour the world?

He was not content with merely ruling the lion and wolf clans; he wanted to bring this vast, chaotic, barren underworld, governed by the naked law of the jungle, under his control and reshape order.

Thinking of Qin Chuan's unfathomable strength, and the almost miraculous scene of him completing the super beast armor without relying on the power lock, Lion King felt a surge of hot blood rush to his head, and his heart began to pound violently.

It turns out that the master's month-long seclusion was not merely for the improvement of his personal cultivation, but rather for the future structure of the entire underworld!

To follow such a mighty ruler, to conquer this unclaimed land, and to establish an immortal legacy, is to live up to the Lion King's courage and ambition!

"Yes, Lord Hades!"

The Lion King bowed again. This time, his voice was loud and firm, filled with irrepressible excitement and fervor. His previous confusion and doubts had been swept away, replaced by an unparalleled sense of purpose and a surging fighting spirit to strive for it.

Qin Chuan took in the Lion King's completely different reactions and understood that the other party must have mistaken the Super Beast Armor for the title of "King of the Underworld," but this was exactly the effect he wanted to achieve by deliberately guiding the Lion King.

He smoothly steered the conversation back to the main topic, his tone regaining its usual composure: "The power I just displayed did not rely on the power lock. Have you seen the underlying principles?"

The Lion King suppressed his excitement and tried to keep his voice steady: "I have seen it clearly! Lord Hades is unparalleled in divine might, able to disregard external objects and activate the super beast armor with his own will. Only today do I realize what it means to have heavens beyond heavens!"
