*Roar, Roar, Roar…* Accompanied by roars echoing through sky, the entire North Canyon was filled with swirling mist.

From afar, one would beheld massive ferocious Mist Beasts emerging from vortexes of mist one after another.

Among them, two beasts stood out as the most terrifying.

One had a pair of enormous wings on its back and resembled a colossal Tiger. This was Cloud Winged Tiger modeled after one of the four Great Beasts under Yu Zi Yu’s command, Old Third, the White Tiger.

Yu Zi Yu had added wings to a Tiger. [As a Tiger, it could not be without wings, could it?]

And the second beast was a giant Bull with crescent-shaped horns on its head, and was carrying a huge mountain on its back.

Mountain Back Bull, this was another Mist Beast created by Yu Zi Yu, modeled after another of the four Great Beasts, Old Second, Bull Demon. Not only did it resemble Bull Demon, but it also possessed a similar aura.

Currently, only White Tiger and Bull Demon were in North Canyon.

As for Nine Tails and Sarcosuchus, they had already left. Although Yu Zi Yu had intended to create Mist Beasts based on them, he was simply powerless to do so. Without them present as a reference, Yu Zi Yu’s imagination alone lacked a certain charm.

At this moment, the Cloud Winged Tiger flew through the clouds, appearing as if it was breathing in and out the clouds, and the Mountain Back Bull, carrying a mountain on its back, descended from the mist with a thunderous boom were being polished bit by bit as Yu Zi Yu gathered White Tiger and Bull Demon near him.

It could be said that if not for the fact that they were formed from mist, they would be almost indistinguishable from reality.

At this moment…

*Roar…* As a roar reverberated through the canyon, the eyes of real White Tiger on the ground widened, staring at the Cloud Winged Tiger flying through the clouds in a daze.

Yu Zi Yu chuckled mischievously, looking at White Tiger’s surprise. Then, he controlled the Cloud Winged Tiger and suddenly spread its wings.

A thunderous boom followed as the mist was pushed back to either side.

From a distance, a Tiger over twenty meters long and with wings on its back appeared to be pouncing toward the White Tiger, dragging swirling clouds of mist behind it.

*Roar…* A Tiger’s roar reverberated through the sky, as the shockwaves sent the mist swirling. At the same time, the White Tiger instinctively went on guard, his fur standing on their end.

Facing the sudden appearance of a gigantic monster, the White Tiger was completely bewildered. However, the imposing momentum was not false. Especially when a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart for some reason.

So, without a shred of hesitation, the White Tiger fiercely swung its claws, tearing through the air.

*Swoosh!* A sharp swishing sound rang as the air trembled.

However, the next moment, much to its confusion, this figure, which bore quite a lot of similarity to himself but was several times larger, unexpectedly split into two by his claw.

“Uh?” Momentarily stunned, a realization seemed to have dawned upon the White Tiger. He carefully observed the split giant Tiger, blinking his eyes repeatedly.

“Fake!?” Though a bit dumbfounded, the White Tiger did not think himself as stupid. At this moment, he had reached a clear conclusion in his mind.

*Rooaar…* The White Tiger let out another roar tinged with  disdain before withdrawing his claw and raising his head proudly.

But the next moment…

*Howl* Suddenly, winds howled, ruffling the White Tiger’s fur disheveled.

Lifting his gaze toward the sky, the White Tiger was astonished to see the previously split giant tiger slowly recovering.

Clouds of mist swirled together, forming its body once again.

In an instant, a completely intact giant Tiger with wings on its back appeared before the White Tiger.

This time, the Cloud Winged Tiger with its wings on its back did not give the White Tiger another chance.

It slowly opened its mouth…

*Roar!* Like the howling of a wind, a tornado visible to the naked eyes emerged from its massive jaws. The tornado, formed from mist, swelled against the wind.

In the blink of an eye, it grew to a size of twenty to thirty meters as it reached the White Tiger.

*Bang!* With a thunderous bang, a cloud of dust rose into the air, followed by a White Tiger’s low and muffled whimper, as if in pain.

“Tsk tsk…” Yu Zi Yu, hidden behind the veil of dense mist, clucked his tongue in disappointment.

With his current control of mist, even if he tried to manipulate it, the tornado unleashed by the Mist Beast could only display a strength close to a High Level Mutant Beast. It was insignificant, too insignificant.

Compared to the original, who could shatter mountains with the whip of his tail, the difference was simply too big.

However, there was one thing he was sure of…

Looking at the White Tiger, who was emerging from the swirling cloud of dust with a slightly disheveled fur, Yu Zi Yu knew that this little Cat was getting angry.

Much to his dismay, his carefully groomed fur was totally messed up. More importantly, the monster actually bore a striking resemblance to himself.

*Rooaar…* A thunderous Tiger’s roar reverberated across the sky, creating powerful shockwaves. The White Tiger planted his feet on the ground and bent his legs as all his muscles contracted.

The next moment…

With a swoosh, he left a streak of white light as he pounced at the monster treading on the clouds.

*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…* One after another, his half a meter long claws kept slashing. After a short while, the White Tiger landed on the ground.

He turned his head and saw the Mist Beast in the sky dispersing into the mist. However, before he could let out an excited roar…

Much to his disbelief, the mist in the sky started converging once again, and shortly after, a huge and majestic White Tiger with wings of its back reappeared.

“Uh…”

He was bewildered, completely bewildered.

Before the somewhat slow-witted White Tiger could react, the Cloud Winged Tiger in the sky once again fired a tornado toward him, without giving him too much time to think.

“It indeed looks grand and imposing, but because its form is of that of mist, it’s really lacking in power.”

Seeing the enormous tornado unable to even breach the White Tiger’s defenses, Yu Zi Yu’s corners of mouth twitched.

However, there was no denying that just by looking at its grand and imposing appearances, one would really think that Mist Beasts are incredibly strong. After all, it was treading on the clouds and was twenty to thirty meters tall, and also had wings on its back.

When it flapped its wings, it gave rise to howling gusts of winds. When it opened its mouth and fired its breath, it would unleash a tens of meters long tornado.

Such a spectacle would scare the Hell out of anyone.

Everything was all good, except the Mist Beast was really lacking in the power department. It was even inferior to a branch whipped by Yu Zi Yu.

“Haaa…” Yu Zi Yu heaved a sigh, but he could not say that he was disappointed. After all, his control over the mist would only grow stronger over time. Although it could not be said that the Mist Beast truly possessed the power of Tier-1 Transcendents, it should have no problem threatening creatures below that level.

The current power of the Mist Beasts was sufficient for Yu Zi Yu.

Looking at the White Tiger entangled with the Mist Beast, the Cloud Winged Tiger, a serious look appeared on Yu Zi Yu’s face.

“This time, I’m going to play for real.” Smiling in his heart, Yu Zi Yu quietly activated the Hallucinogen ability.
