A veil of deep darkness enveloped Misty Mountains, shrouding its last bit of light. However, just at this moment…
*Roooaar…* An ancient beastly roar echoed throughout the sky as a figure sitting on Yu Zi Yu’s thick trunk burst forth with a terrifying aura, much to the astonishment of the nearby Mutant Beasts.
Visible to the naked eye, red, blue, white, yellow, four shades of color intertwined as a 100-meters-tall Spiritual Energy vortex emerged.
“Brewmaster has broken through.”
“His foundation is truly deep.”
“Indeed.”
Amazed voices filled the air as the Mutant Beasts expressed their surprise.
Even the nearby Nine Tails and Ling Er couldn’t help but have their eyes flash with surprise as they looked at Brewmaster.
At this moment, as if thinking of something, the nearby Ling Er cupped her fists and teasingly stated, “Congratulations, Master, on gaining another Emperor of the World.”
“You cheeky girl…” Yu Zi Yu shook his head in helplessness.
However, upon closer inspection, a meaningful smile appeared on Yu Zi Yu’s usually impassive face. [To gain an Emperor of the World at such a critical moment is indeed a huge blessing. Moreover, Brewmaster had always been formidable. Even at the Realm of Sovereign, he had the strength to contend with the Emperors. Now, having broken through, his combat power has naturally gone beyond that of ordinary Emperors. Still…]
Shifting his gaze, Yu Zi Yu turned his attention to Sarcosuchus not far away, which resembled a small mountain.
Yu Zi Yu was not surprised by Brewmaster’s breakthrough. Given his foundation and accumulation, a breakthrough was a matter of course.
The Flood Dragon Meat merely acted as a catalyst, triggering Brewmaster’s deep accumulation.
The same could be said for Nine Tails. She too was likely to break through to an Emperor soon enough.
Mutant Beasts like them, who possessed inheritances and had a strong connection with Heaven and Earth, their only real challenge was the accumulation of Spiritual Energy.
However, what intrigued Yu Zi Yu the most was Sarcosuchus, Old Fourth.
As the most outstanding of the three Atavistic Great Beasts, Old Fourth had always been silent and cold, yet his strength was undeniably formidable. One could even say ‘terrifying.’
Especially after devouring the Wyvern Egg and awakening the ‘Power of the Rock Dragon,’ his strength had become even more unfathomable.
Even now, Yu Zi Yu could not truly accurately gauge his power.
However, just now, after devouring the Flood Dragon Meat, this fearsome Behemoth who seemed to be carved out of granite, emitted a very subtle aura. And that aura happened to have piqued Yu Zi Yu’s interest.
With these thoughts in mind, Yu Zi Yu focused his mind.
In an instant, before this Behemoth, which resembled a hill, countless roots wove together, weaving a slender figure.
“Old Ninth has advanced,” with a light sigh, Yu Zi Yu slowly made his way to the top of this Behemoth.
*Tap, tap, tap…* With gentle footsteps, the towering Behemoth, with golden vertical pupils like a Dragon’s, blinked before responding in a cold voice, “Indeed.”
The voice was cold and impassive, as usual. However, if one listened carefully, they would detect a hint of joy. Clearly, Sarcosuchus was very happy for Brewmaster.
At this moment, Yu Zi Yu smiled and straightforwardly asked, “When will you break through?”
“Me?” Sarcosuchus was momentarily stunned, before finally realizing Yu Zi Yu’s meaning.
A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth as Sarcosuchus frankly asked, “Master, when would you like to see me break through?”
“Hmmm!?” Pleasantly surprised, Yu Zi Yu curiously glanced at the massive Behemoth beneath him, which was nearly 200-300 meters long and covered in rock-like skin resembling granite.
His dozens of meters long giant tail lay on the tree branches like a steel whip. Every now and then, it would rise and fall, generating a whistling sound.
However, his most unique feature was his long mouth, similar to that of a Platypus, yet filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth that gleamed coldly in the moonlight.
Looking closely at his face, one could see a resemblance to Dragons and an air of indescribable majesty.
“You are truly extraordinary!” Expressing his admiration, Yu Zi Yu finally realized he might have underestimated Sarcosuchus.
Or rather, underestimated the existence that had ‘awakened’ the bloodline of the Rock Dragon.
Dragons were an Apex Race. Whether it was the Western Dragons or Eastern Divine Dragons, they were all Dragons, legendary mythical creatures. They could be judged by common sense.
Now, after a thorough examination of Sarcosuchus, Yu Zi Yu was astonished to find that, although his Spiritual Energy was only around 8-9 million, his physical body had long surpassed the limits of Tier-3.
In other words, at some unknown point, his physical body had already broken through to Tier-4.
Unlike the commotion caused by a breakthrough in Spiritual Energy, the breakthrough of his physical body had been silent, so much so that even Yu Zi Yu had failed to notice.
Moreover, Yu Zi Yu noticed that every muscle in Sarcosuchus’s body was vibrating at a frightening frequency, a sign of either a form of cultivation or some mastery of a Secret Technique.
Sarcosuchus, also known as the Flesh Crocodile, was known for his powerful muscles.
After awakening the Rock Dragon Bloodline, his body had surpassed his kind, stepping into the realm of mythical creatures.
To put it differently, the evolution of all things typically involves using Spiritual Energy to drive the body, thereby completing a metamorphosis of the hierarchy of life.
However, Sarcosuchus did the opposite: His body completed the metamorphosis first, which in turn drove his Spiritual Energy.
This was why Sarcosuchus had asked Yu Zi Yu, ‘Master, when would you like to see me break through?’
Simply because the so-called ‘breakthrough’ was merely at the whim of Sarcosuchus.
Currently, Sarcosuchus was waiting… waiting for the synchronization of his accumulated Spiritual Energy with his body, to directly step into Tier-4 Transcendent, a terrifying realm known as ‘Natural Disaster.’
As for the Emperor of the World, Sarcosuchus would be skipping that realm.
He never wanted to harmonize with the world. He had always relied on his claws and tail, but never on his surroundings.
To put it in simple words, while others used Principles to become enlightened in Dao, Sarcosuchus proved his Dao through sheer power.
Of course, the term ‘enlightened in Dao’ was too distant and heavy for now. It could only be said that Sarcosuchus’ current cultivation had this tendency to brute force through any problems. If he had not gained enlightenment, it just meant he had not bash enlightenment hard enough.
“You are truly impressive,” expressing his admiration, Yu Zi Yu finally felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.
He had always thought that he was the sole pillar of Misty Mountains, but now, he realized that even without him, Misty Mountains’ dominant position would still be unshakable.
Sarcosuchus alone was enough to guard it.
Although Sarcosuchus’ Spiritual Energy cultivation was lacking, with his terrifying physique, he was undoubtedly a Quasi Tier-4 Transcendent.
If someone tried to engage him in close combat, even an ordinary Tier-4 might suffer defeat.
Moreover, there was also Golden Monkey, who had been hiding his true strength all this while.
There were also Nine Tails, Golden Ant, and Brewmaster—all of whom possessed combat power on par with Emperors of the World.
As a matter of fact, the number of Emperors of the World on the entire continent numbered no more than five.
The only one Yu Zi Yu knew for certain was an Emperor of the World was the Demonic Phoenix in the far east of the continent.
From this, it could be imagined how profound the foundation of Misty Mountains was now.
Silavin: ‘If he had not gained enlightenment, it just meant he had not bash enlightenment hard enough.’ – Sorry. Just can’t help adding this.
