As night grew cooler, the Moon’s surface no longer resembled its former desolation.
Thick and Towering Trees had risen to the sky, their green foliage creating a shade.
And amidst the bountiful forest of the Towering Trees, white pathways of jade were laid out, forming roads.
At the end of these roads were areas with clouds of mist lingering in the air. Faintly, one could make out a celestial palace hidden within.
Further away, one could also see clear lake water rippling gently in the soft breeze, creating delicate waves. Tiny splashes shimmered with a dazzling light under the faint glow.
This was the current Moon. It truly resembled a paradise now.
However, more striking than these picturesque landscapes were the sights of exotic beasts galloping across the land, and the birds flying in the vast, misty sea of clouds.
At this moment…
“Spirit Butterfly…” With a gentle call, a ball of light rose in the distance.
The ball, as large as a jade plate, emitted a soft and warm glow, carrying an indescribable warmth.
Seeing this, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of a smile passing over his face.
Spirit Butterfly, now an Elemental General of Yu Zi Yu—an Embodiment of Light—could transform into the most dazzling radiance. She could not only shatter the sky but also move with the speed of light, which had made her a true top-tier receiver of the Elemental Fruit.
And apart from her, in another corner…
“Nether Tiger…” With another call, boundless darkness spread into the surroundings.
This darkness seemed alive, rolling in like waves from afar, with each wave higher than the other.
Amidst the rolling waves, a massive Black Tiger emerged from a swirl of darkness. Its eyes glowed with a piercing intensity, and its long, jet-black fur billowed in the wind, radiating an aura of overwhelming dominance.
Nether Tiger—originally named Shadow Tiger—was the strongest member of the Tiger Clan after White Tiger, who won Yu Zi Yu’s recognition and was secretly granted the Dark Elemental Fruit, becoming an Embodiment of Darkness.
As for the other candidate for the Dark Elemental Fruit—Leng Feng—Yu Zi Yu did not show favoritism, and after a brief contemplation, provided another opportunity.
Of course, this was not important. What mattered now was that both Spirit Butterfly and Nether Tiger had simultaneously reached the Natural Disaster-Class today.
*Screeeeech, screeeeech…*
*Roooooaar, rooooooaar…* With screeches and roars, two terrifying auras skyrocketed.
Looking up, the world was painted in black and white: one side was bright as day, while as dark as night.
The intersection of the black and white colours drew a perfectly straight line, as if clashing with each other, showing no signs of retreat.
*Screeeech…* With an even more high-pitched shrill, Spirit Butterfly spread her wings. A dazzling light immediately burst forth, illuminating a small portion of the moon.
On the other side, Nether Tiger was equally resolute.
*Roooooooaar…* Giving it out a roar, his four limbs braced on the summit of the dark waves as boundless darkness gathered once more.
“You two…” A sudden voice interrupted the confrontation between the two majestic beasts.
Upon hearing this, both trembled, then lowered their heads respectfully and greeted in succession.
“Greetings, Master.”
“Greetings, Master.”
In unison, the awe-inspiring presence receded, revealing a golden Spirit Butterfly about two meters in size and a giant Black Tiger several meters in size.
“The fact that both of you have reached Tier-4 by the seventh day after consuming the Elemental Fruit is truly remarkable. You guys are really amazing!” Yu Zi Yu expressed genuine admiration from the bottom of his heart.
“Thank you very much, Master, for bestowing me this huge opportunity,” Nether Tiger said, stepping forward to express his gratitude.
“This is what you deserve.” Yu Zi Yu replied and explained, “When it comes to understanding Dark Energy, no one in Misty Mountains can match you.”
This was not a mere compliment from Yu Zi Yu. In terms of understanding darkness, Nether Tiger was on par with a typical Tier-4 Transcendent.
For instance, in the Martial Arts Tournament, he split into nine and created nine shadows each with at least 70% of his own combat power.
The Dao of Shadows was a branch of Dark Energy. And in this regard, Nether Tiger was quite exceptional, the very best.
Seeing such talent, Yu Zi Yu naturally valued it and bestowed the Dark Elemental Fruit upon Nether Tiger.
However, Yu Zi Yu did not expect Nether Tiger’s talent to be so astonishing that he would break through to Tier-4 in just seven days.
[Moreover…] Turning his gaze, Yu Zi Yu looked at Spirit Butterfly. [She is also exceptionally talented.]
“It seems our Misty Mountains is truly going to flourish,” Yu Zi Yu marveled, feeling even more confident about the strength of Misty Mountains.
[With the vast array of experts, it’s already far superior to other major forces. Moreover, Spirit Butterfly and Nether Tiger had recently both advanced to Tier-4. To top it off, the recent addition of the Undying Blood Raven further strengthened our ranks.]
At this moment, as if sensing Yu Zi Yu’s thoughts.
*Caw…* With a sudden cry, a red light surged above Yu Zi Yu’s Tree Body. With the emergence of this dazzling red light, the countless Blood Ravens resting on Yu Zi Yu’s canopy flapped their wings, merging rapidly, becoming a giant, glowing red bird.
This was the Undying Blood Raven, the most recent and powerful Natural Disaster under Yu Zi Yu’s command.
As for how powerful it was, at least under Yu Zi Yu’s command, there seemed to be no real challenger who could kill him.
Even Sarcosuchus and Brewmaster, who had fought him multiple times, found it hard to inflict a severe blow.
His almost immortal nature truly made him stand out among the rest.
He had earned the recognition of countless Mutant Beasts for his ‘Undying’ title.
“Master…” Gently calling out, the Undying Blood Raven, now truly united as one, lowered his noble head.
“Mhmm…” Nodding slightly, Yu Zi Yu instructed, “Blood Raven, test the strength of Spirit Butterfly and Nether Tiger, and help them hone their skills.”
“Yes, Master,” accepting the order, Blood Raven flapped his wings hard, as red light burst forth, dyeing the sky red.
At the same time, a giant bird, covering the entirety of the space above, rose high up into space.
