The starry sky was deep and vast.
At this moment, in the distance, a black, honeycomb-shaped celestial body approached the Gargantuan Tree that seemed to blanket the space above.
However, as the figures atop this black celestial body gazed at the Massive Tree—several times, even dozens of times larger than the dark star itself—they fell into silence.
Deep within their eyes, there was an unmistakable trace of shock that could not be erased.
“Is this my Master—the Divine Tree? But how is this possible? How can such an enormous life form exist in the world…” Still in disbelief, the Zerg Queen—Shalira could not help but fall into deep self-doubt.
At this moment, her shallow worldview made it difficult for her to accept the existence of someone so majestic as Yu Zi Yu.
However, it was understandable. Not just her, but even other Tier-4 and Tier-5 Transcendents would be equally shocked when coming face to face with Yu Zi Yu’s current form.
That was because Yu Zi Yu had become too colossal. In fact, calling him comparable to a star was not just a figure of speech.
However, even stars vary greatly in size. For instance, the dark star, the Zerg Hive, was only the size of the Moon. But Yu Zi Yu’s true form was vast enough to rival a planet like Earth.
…
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly rang out in the depths of the starry sky.
“I, the Star God, greet the Divine Tree.” Yu Zi Yu, controlling his Void Elf Form, stepped into the starry sky and greeted the distant Giant Tree.
“Welcome back…” A majestic voice echoed in the starry sky, carrying an inexplicable rhythm that seemed to bear striking resemblance to the rhythms of the Dao.
At the same time, a trail of starlight-like Spiritual Energy surged from the depths of the starry sky.
Following the streaking starlight, it soon became apparent that a ‘Path of Starlight’ was extending from the far reaches of space.
Only when this ‘Path of Starlight’ drew closer did the Zerg Queen and King Zerg realize with shock that this was merely a branch.
*Gulp…* Swallowing their saliva in nervousness, Shalira and King Zerg watched in astonishment as the Star God stepped onto the ‘Path of Starlight.’
“Follow me.” Calling out softly, Yu Zi Yu’s Void Elf Form started walking along the branch towards the Gargantuan Tree, without casting a glance back.
The show had to be convincing!
Since he had decided to let his Void Elf Form appear before the world assuming the guise of the ‘Star God,’ from now on, Yu Zi Yu’s Void Elf Form could no longer regard it as him. He would be his own individual.
In fact, only the core members of Misty Mountains and a few elite Sentinels knew the connection between this Void Elf Form and his true form. It was a total of no more than 20-30 people. Compared to the billions of living beings under Yu Zi Yu’s rule, this number was indeed insignificant.
Thus, Yu Zi Yu did not care if the ‘Star God’ managed to deceive the world or not.
After all, it was just his habit of doing things from the shadows! Even if the world discovered that the Star God was just one of Yu Zi Yu’s bodies walking among mortals, he would not mind.
…
At that moment, as they watched the departing Star God, the Zerg Queen and King Zerg exchanged glances before stepping onto the branch.
One, with a light step, leaped a thousand meters in a flash, like a black shadow sprinting swiftly across the branch.
That was King Zerg.
Cloaked in black scales, he had no eyes. Only two empty sockets, cold and lifeless, were embedded in his face. At a glance, he appeared both eerie and chilling.
Nonetheless, that was not the most terrifying part.
The truly terrifying thing was that, although he was Humanoid, he ran on all fours, like a wild beast, at an incredibly fast speed.
“The perfect fusion of man and beast, the ultimate killing weapon…” murmuring to himself, Yu Zi Yu, whose consciousness had returned to his true form, took a moment to truly observe this small monster with Tier-5 combat power.
He had to admit, King Zerg was indeed impressive.
Even after being scorched for half a day by Dai Er’s Secret Technique, Flame Hell, he was only seriously injured.
And after being gravely wounded, in just three days, he had fully recovered, thanks to his terrifying recovery.
The monstrous recovery speed and terrifying Physique of this creature even made the corner of Dai Er’s twitch.
At times, she even doubted who was truly the Dragon: her or King Zerg.
One must understand that the strength and recovery of the Dragon Clan were already considered impressive. Yet, compared to King Zerg, it was far too inferior.
This was not even mentioning the other races, whose physical strength and recovery were nowhere near that of a Dragon.
“This little monster… I wonder if he can get along well with him?” Yu Zi Yu’s voice carried a hint of doubt. He was genuinely curious.
By ‘him,’ he naturally meant Yu Zi Yu’s shadow—Zi Lian.
Both were terrifying apex predators of the food chain. Both excelled in hunting.
More importantly, both were born for killing.
If these two little creatures teamed up to hunt together, they would undoubtedly strike fear into even Tier-5 Transcendents.
Of course, all of this was based on the premise that Zi Lian breaks through to Tier-5. Without that breakthrough, he would still be far from qualified to team up with King Zerg.
After all, a monster that could traverse outer space relying solely on his physical body, using planets as mere stepping stones, would not look twice at Zi Lian, an insignificant Tier-4 creature.
However, one thing was certain… if Zi Lian could also break through to Tier-5, and the two worked together in perfect coordination, then under the starry sky, the most terrifying hunting duo would almost certainly take form.
At that time, they would become the sharpest ‘blade’ in Yu Zi Yu’s hand.
Yu Zi Yu could not help but fill with anticipation and smiled in his heart.
…
Moments later, Yu Zi Yu shifted his gaze to another figure not far away, Shalira.
Her long, jet-black hair fluttered in the wind. Her entire body floated in the space, moving forward along the branch with terrifying speed.
If one looked closely, they could even see a thin layer of glowing light around her body. It was a manifestation of her immense Psychic Power becoming tangible.
It might appear thin and flimsy, but even this single layer of Psychic Barrier could withstand a full-power attack from an average Tier-4 Transcendent.
More importantly, Shalira’s body was protected by three layers of Psychic Barriers. If one barrier was broken, the other two would immediately take its place.
In terms of self-defense, the Zerg Queen was undoubtedly among the top Demigods.
As for her combat abilities, there was no need to say more.
Those who specialize in Psychic Power had always securely grabbed the top tier within their rank, almost invincible against their peers.
