The Great Prairie had already welcomed the first ray of dawn!
However, this dawn brought not hope, but even further despair.
The ground was submerged in blood, with mutilated corpses littering the grassland.
*Squeak, Squeak…* With increasingly sharp squeaks, the swarm of Mutant Rats surged from all directions in tides.
However, if anyone took a closer look at them, they would notice that the fur of these Mutant Rats had turned red in color, and even their eyes flickered with an indescribable ferocity.
They had mutated, or more precisely, they had undergone another round of evolution.
After fighting for an entire day and night straight, some Mutant Rats had already begun a new transformation.
Their teeth had grown sharper.
Their fur had become thicker.
This was what Yu Zi Yu meant by ‘only when you’re alive can one have a future.’
After surviving this trial of blood, both low-level Tier-1 and Tier-2 Transcendents and peak powerhouses of Misty Mountains would undergo transformation.
And this was just the beginning.
…
Just at this moment, Mutant Beasts’ pupils suddenly contracted, as if discovering something.
Simply darkness had suddenly descended on the world all of a sudden.
Looking up, countless Mutant Beasts found a massive shadow covering the blood-red sky, much to their horror.
“Northern Darkness!?” Shaken, powerful Transcendents cried in incredulity.
Even Nine Tails and Bull Demon’s expressions changed, simply because Northern Darkness Bird was one of the Ten Monstrosities of the Continent three years ago.
While it wasn’t among the top ten right now, it was strong enough to be ranked in the top thirty.
The appearance of such a powerful Mutant Beast here really came as a surprise to everyone, leaving everyone wondering, ‘Why?’
An ominous premonition crept into the hearts of many Mutant Beasts.
Just at this moment…
*Screech…* Giving out a terrifying screech, the massive bird that overshadowed the sky suddenly sucked towards the ground.
*Swwooosh…* With a deafening roar, the entire battlefield began to shake as howling winds blew upwards.
Immediately after, much to the horror of countless Mutant Beasts, numerous Mutant Wolves and even Mutant Black Rats lost control of their bodies and started flying towards the sky, where a giant mouth resembling a black hole loomed.
“You dare…”
“You want to die…”
Gorewolf King and other Mutant Beasts such as Nine Tails roared in succession, their expressions changing drastically.
To their fury, it disregarded them and attacked their subordinates. And adding insult to injury, it was even attempting to devour tens of thousands of Mutant Beasts in one breath.
Tens of thousands, that was quite a staggering number!
Furthermore, most of them were Tier-1s and Tier-2s, the elites among Mutant Beasts.
*Aooo~*
*Yip…*
Gorewolf King and Nine Tails instantly howled before tacitly withdrawing their attacks at the same time.
Immediately afterward, their gazes became focused as Gorewolf turned into a streak of crimson light, while Nine Tails stirred up the sea of fire, both rushing towards Northern Darkness in succession.
Meanwhile, despite sensing Nine Tails and Gorewolf King charging towards it, the Northern Darkness Bird completely ignored them. Instead, it further increased its suction force.
If it could truly devour these Mutant Beasts, even if it suffered some injuries, it would be worth it.
Moreover, after having been locked in a fierce battle straight for a day and night, Gorewolf King and Nine Tails’ strength had already declined by 20-30%; they were no longer at their peak.
As for Northern Darkness, it excelled in defense and speed.
How could it care about them?
Except, Northern Darkness had eluded to the fact that a hint of dark golden light was quietly approaching it.
Silently, it had approached within 2,000 meters of Northern Darkness.
It was a huge distance, at least for Tier-2 Mutant Beasts.
However, it was a close distance to stronger Mutant Beasts.
*Haaaa…*
Taking a deep breath, Golden Ant, who had just arrived, had his gaze turned cold, witnessing countless Mutant Rats being continuously devoured by Northern Darkness. Loud cracking sounds echoed as he tightened his fists, circulating his energy.
Immediately after, a deafening boom reverberated through the world.
Golden Ant’s punch was too fast, too fast to even react.
In a flash, a white pillar of light, as thick as a water bucket, tore through the sky, fiercely crashing towards the gaping maws of Northern Darkness, leaving all the Mutant Beasts dumbstruck.
No, it wasn’t a white pillar of light. To be more accurate, it should be said that the endless air had been compressed by an overwhelmingly fearsome force, ultimately condensing towards a point.
At this single point, upon contact with Northern Darkness, erupted a terrifying force.
A deafening clap shook the world as a massive shockwave, visible to the naked eyes, swept through the sky.
10 meters…
100 meters…
Or even a kilometer…
In the blink of an eye, even the vast grassland trembled slightly, as if an earthquake had been triggered.
Amidst this terrifying shockwave…
*Screech…* A painful screech pierced everyone’s ears as the colossal body of Northern Darkness, almost half the size of a city, went hurtling through the air.
It was unbelievable!
At this moment, not only Northern Darkness itself, but even other Mutant Beasts like Gorewolf King and Sirius were dumbfounded, with only one thought occupying their minds, [How can someone possess such power?]
After all, Northern Darkness was a Tier-3 at the Realm of Sovereign. It was known for its size and defense. Its colossal figure, even when falling, was enough to crush a city.
The current sight was totally unexpected and stupefying, totally stupefying.
Gorewolf King, who was streaking across the air, abruptly halted at the first notice, then gulped nervously, gawking ahead in shock.
Not far away, in that direction, he sensed an extremely fierce and cruel aura rising, reaching a fearsome level.
“Strength Boost–3rd Stage…” Golden Ant muttered, but it echoed clearly through the world.
However, as if he hadn’t spoken for a long time, his voice was so cold and hoarse that it made many Mutant Beasts shiver.
Right at that very moment, the distant small and petite dark golden figure fiercely trembled. His blood started flowing backward, and a massive amount of blood-red vapor-like thing completely enveloped him.
At this moment, this petite figure was unbearable to look at.
Just his presence alone made ordinary Tier-3 Transcendent beings feel suffocated.
Faintly, even the air seemed to freeze.
*Haaa…* Exhaling once again, a sharp gleam flickered in Golden Ant’s eyes.
The next moment, a shrill swoosh cut through the air as Golden Ant’s figure disappeared from the sky.
However, before the many Mutant Beasts could react, they witnessed a scene that they would never forget in their lives.
As Golden Ant fired another deafening punch, his fist created a crimson pillar of light as thick as a water bucket, shooting towards Northern Darkness.
Just a moment later, he fired another punch, which created another crimson beam, piercing through Northern Darkness’ left side.
It was followed by another, and another…
*Boom, boom, boom…* Deafening claps rang again and again as crimson pillars from all sides shot towards Northern Darkness.
