“Whether it’s the physical body or the Soul, pushing either to the extreme is equally terrifying.” Murmuring softly to himself, Yu Zi Yu’s thoughts drifted towards Sarcosuchus
Sarcosuchus’ physical body had far surpassed others of the same level, and his combat strength made him nearly invincible among peers. In contrast, the Zerg Queen had reached an equally terrifying level in Psychic Power.
She, too, possessed astonishing combat power. However, compared to the physical body, the Soul was more mysterious, and its application was even more fearsome.
Yu Zi Yu’s mind worked like clockwork as he pondered over various matters.
Simultaneously, his branches slowly retracted.
With that, the figures of the Star God, Dai Er, Shalira and King Zerg began to draw closer.
“Greetings, Divine Tree.”
The voices of those paying homage echoed across the vastness of space.
Lifting his gaze once again, Yu Zi Yu saw these figures now standing close before him.
“En…” With a slight nod, a blood-red eye slowly opened within Yu Zi Yu’s Towering Tree Form.
At the same moment, in the astonished gazes of Shalira and King Zerg, both the Star God and the woman were engulfed in flames before they quietly disappeared into a swirling vortex.
“What?” In disbelief, Shalira stared intently at the distant green vortex.
She could not shake the feeling that beyond the vortex lay an indescribable vastness.
However, now was not the time to dwell on such matters.
Sensing the increasingly terrifying and colossal presence, as if it was slowly awakening, both Shalira and King Zerg stood in stunned silence, staring at the Gargantuan Tree standing tall in the middle of nowhere not far away.
“Divine… Tree…” murmuring softly, Shalira watched as countless branches rose into the air like divine chains.
The entire Tree began to shimmer with starlight…
“From now on, don’t call me Divine Tree anymore. Just call me Master.” a voice suddenly whispered in her ear, causing Shalira to momentarily freeze.
After a brief pause, as if realizing something, a joyful expression appeared on Shalira’s face. She quickly bowed and said, “Yes, Master…”
“En…” Nodding slightly, Yu Zi Yu added, “In a few days, prepare yourself. I’ll be holding a grand ceremony of accepting my Disciple.”
“Uh…” Stunned for a moment, Shalira quickly regained her composure, responding without hesitation, “Understood, Master. Your Disciple won’t disgrace you.”
“Good, I believe in you…” Seeing the rarely nervous expression on Shalira’s face, Yu Zi Yu smiled.
It was natural to be nervous during their first meeting. After all, he was unlike others. As a Tier-6 Transcendent, his very existence was overwhelming. The innate pressure he exuded was something that even a Dragon’s Prestige could not hold a candle to. Thus, the fact that Shalira appeared just slightly nervous and remained mostly composed was quite commendable.
After all, even the Tier-4 Transcendents, who had rushed out of Elysia, were barely able to utter a word when they came face to face with him.
With a faint smile, Yu Zi Yu slowly opened a green vortex.
“Go ahead, the Realm of Life has already prepared a welcoming feast for you.”
“Thank you, Master…” Without hesitation, Shalira responded and led King Zerg into the Realm of Life.
She had heard of the Realm of Life before.
The Star God once said, “It’s a true world, resembling a paradise, and is the very foundation of Misty Mountains…”
“I wonder what this Small World, the foundation of Misty Mountains, looks like?” Suppressing her curiosity, Shalira stepped into the green vortex.
Moments after Shalira vanished…
*Tap…* A soft footstep echoed as a purple figure, about the height of an adult, emerged from behind Yu Zi Yu’s Tree Form.
Its long, sharp claws, resembling scythes of the grim reaper, were raised high, gleaming with a deep purple light. An intermittent purple sheen constantly shimmered across its cold and terrifying body.
It was Misty Mountains’ top assassin — Zi Lian, a continuously evolving Mutant Void Mantis.
“What do you think of that King Zerg?” Amusement laced Yu Zi Yu’s voice as he voiced his thoughts.
“Terrifying, truly terrifying.” paying a strong emphasis on the ‘terrifying’, Zi Lian’s pupils shrank to pinpoints.
No creature had ever made him feel this kind of threat before.
It was not just because of power. It was simply because of the natural repulsion between hunters.
In other words, King Zerg was definitely a predator on par with him.
*Haaaaaa…* Exhaling a long, deep breath, Zi Lian admitted truthfully, “Just now, it seems like he noticed me.”
“Indeed.” Yu Zi Yu nodded his affirmation, a smile appearing on his face.
Earlier, he had indeed glanced at the spot where Zi Lian was hiding.
[It seems, while Zi Lian is cautious of King Zerg, King Zerg is also wary of him. However…] Looking at Zi Lian, who was currently only at the peak of the Demigod Realm, Yu Zi Yu could not help but chuckle.
“It seems like you’re still half a step behind in catching up to him…”
*Hmph…* Zi Lian instantly let out a disgruntled snort.
However, he could not help but feel helpless: There was nothing he could do about it.
All the battles King Zerg had previously fought had been on a grand scale, clashing with numerous forces like the Titan Star Domain and the Angel Star Domain. The number of powerful opponents he had encountered was countless. His battles far exceeded those of Zi Lian.
Naturally, his speed of evolution was a step ahead.
However, that was of no concern. Given Zi Lian’s current state, his breakthrough was only a matter of time. All he lacked was the right opportunity.
With that thought, Yu Zi Yu offered a reminder, “When you get the chance, go spar with him. You might find the key to your next evolution through him…”
“Yes, Master.” As he responded, a flash of realization appeared in Zi Lian’s eyes.
[Indeed, as Master said, the key to breakthrough is definitely tied to King Zerg.]
Now, he was immensely curious about King Zerg’s body structure, very curious.
“If possible, I’ll use King Zerg as the template for my next evolution…” murmuring softly, a playful glint crossed Zi Lian’s cold face.
As equally small but top-tier hunters, King Zerg was undoubtedly the best template for his evolution.
