“Two of the three rulers of Steel World have appeared already!?” A murmur echoed in the ever-churning mist. Then, streams of mist converged in the air, weaving a figure within just a few breaths.
Mastery of Mist happened to be one of Yu Zi Yu’s abilities, thanks to which, Yu Zi Yu’s consciousness could descend at will within the confines of the mist.
At this moment, witnessing the two monstrous figures, the size of mountains, appearing not far away, Yu Zi Yu’s figure in the air had its lips curved up slightly, revealing a playful expression.
The Tiger Clan was indeed extremely strong, but they were having big trouble handling these Metal Monsters.
The reason for this lay in the extraordinary origins of these Metal Monsters.
In the previous era, the Elemental Clan that was in the top ten terrifying races, had many branches, including fire, ice, lightning, and whatnot.
Then there were also the most mysterious Light and Dark Family as well.
Besides these, there were also some quite peculiar Elemental Races. Such as the current Steel Family.
Unlike how the most Elemental Clans possessed fragile bodies, the Steel Family was at the other extreme. The stronger the members of Steel Family were, the more robust and resilient their bodies were. Adding more to their terror, the Steel Family had also mastered the characteristic properties of metal.
The appearance of the Black Iron and Green Monsters until now was still all good and well.
They were just creations of the most terrifying existence in the depths of Steel World, and they did not possess the most terrifying metal characteristics of the Steel Family in the Elemental Clan.
What was noteworthy here was that unlike the Artificial Elemental Lifeforms like Qing Gang and Little White, the Natural Elemental Lifeforms possessed a most terrifying ability.
They could influence their surroundings.
This is a kind of ability possessed only by Transcendents of Tier-4.
For example, after Yu Zi Yu stepped into Tier-4, just his presence affected the surrounding ecology; trees grew lusher and greener, while flowers bloomed on every plant. Abundant vitality filled the surroundings.
Natural Elemental Lifeforms possessed this ability from birth.
Just like the most terrifying entity in the depths of Steel World, which had caused the entire mountain range to turn metallic over time, despite being just Tier-3.
This wasn’t even the most terrifying part.
The most terrifying part was that while influencing the surrounding ecology, they also bred lifeforms similar to them.
This was also one of the reasons why the number of Elemental Lifeforms increased despite having no parents.
Born from Natural Elemental Lifeforms, these life forms could no longer be called Natural Elemental Lifeforms, and had another classification.
The Black Iron and Green Monsters that had already reached Tier-3 were considered the Second Generation.
As for those Elemental Lifeforms still at Tier-2, they were the Third Generation.
Lurking in the depths of Steel World, the Natural Elemental Lifeform, the Steel Progenitor, had something special: the Elemental Heart. This was only unique to Natural Elemental Lifeforms.
Yu Zi Yu came to acquire this knowledge thanks to Golden Monkey, who would share what he knew every now and then.
Of course, Yu Zi Yu would confirm it himself. He slightly narrowed his eyes, and already verified it.
Race: Black Iron Lifeform (Steel Elemental Lifeform) Rank: Tier-3 Innate Talent: Hardness — Its terrifying body bestows it with incredibly tough defense. Even beings of the same tier, or even several tier higher, will find it difficult to break through their defense. Unique Abilities: Metal Transformation — It can freely change its own body. Hardening — It can reinforce its defense again, even igniting Spiritual Energy flames on their own body. Black Iron Spear — It can transform its arms into long spears that can tear through everything. Black Iron Shell — By covering its entire body in the same metal as its body, it can greatly strengthen its defense. Metal Devourer — It can repair its injuries or even enhance its own strength devouring the same metal as its body. |
After going through the details of the Black Iron Monster, Yu Zi Yu silently mourned for White Tiger for 3 seconds.
White Tiger was indeed unlucky for him to run into such a tough opponent just after stepping out of Misty Mountains. Judging by the status screen alone, it was loud and clear that it was not something White Tiger could handle.
After all, the land where the Black Iron Monster resided was transformed into endless black iron, which made it almost indestructible on this vast land. Furthermore, its defense was absolutely terrifying. White Tiger felt like banging his head against a wall.
Just then, as if noticing something, Yu Zi Yu’s lips curled slightly.
In his gaze, White Tiger, who had fiercely collided with the Black Iron Giant, had his facial features twisted into a complex look, panged with a hint of resentment, as well as regret.
[What the hell is this creature, damn it!] Roaring in his heart, White Tiger looked at the two-meter-long wound he had just torn open on the Metal Monster’s body. Seeing it healing at a visible speed, a look of despair appeared on his face.
[Are you kidding me? It already possesses such a terrifying defense, and yet its recovery is even more terrifying than its defense!?]
“Emmmm…” With his heart in complete turmoil, White Tiger gritted his teeth and charged at the Metal Monster again.
*Boom…* Accompanied by a deafening clap, White Tiger’s claw, entwined with a fearsome storm, struck the Black Iron Monster.
White Tiger’s attack left a deep white laceration on the Black Iron Monster, and faintly, he could even see profound blackness in the depths of the wound.
And that happened to be the true body of the Black Iron Monster.
Although White Tiger was silly, his combat awareness was no way ordinary. After a few clashes, White Tiger realized that the Black Iron Monster had something inside. Therefore, he tried his best to tear apart the Black Iron Monster’s defense to attack its True Body hidden under the shell.
However, the defense of the Black Iron Monster was too terrifying, and only by exerting full force could he tear open a gap.
When White Tiger wanted to attack again, the gap had already begun to heal.
“Damn it…” Looking at the healing gap, White Tiger felt helpless.
At this moment, as if thinking of something, White Tiger also glanced around, and as he had expected, the entire Tiger Clan was in trouble.
Although these Black Iron Monsters were cumbersome, their defenses were truly insurmountable. So much so that the Mutant Tigers chose to gang up on them.
Yet, if they got accidentally hit by those small Black Iron Monsters, their terrifying power would shake the members of the Tiger Clan down to their bones. Some couldn’t even get up for half a day.
Fortunately, the Second King, Shadow Tiger, split into four shadows to alleviate much of the pressure on the Tiger Clan.
Meanwhile, his True Body leaped out to intercept the nearby approaching Cyan Monster.
Meanwhile, Yu Zi Yu, who was sneaking a look at the battlefield, chose not to intervene.
Even the approaching Qing Gang, Little White, and the others also quietly restrained their breath.
One reason was naturally that they were enjoying watching White Tiger suffer for a while, and the other reason was that they were simply waiting.
They had long sensed that many powerful entities had arrived around them, watching the battle. And these powerful entities were the true prey they were waiting for.
As for the Natural Elemental Lifeform in the deepest part, it would naturally be left to their Master, the Divine Tree.
The Master had been silent for too long. Taking down an Elemental Monster that might have reached the Realm of Sovereigns was enough to once again intimidate the others.
Qing Gang, Little White, and the others were also curious about how terrifying their Master was when he truly made a move. After all, up to now, they had not witnessed their Master taking real action.
