In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

During these two days, the area of Misty Mountains had expanded by more than twice its previous size.

The mist covering Misty Mountains had spread as far as the desert in the west, and even reached the base of the tall mountain in the east.

But that was not all.

If one were to gaze into the depths of Misty Mountains, they would find numerous powerful Mutant Beasts hidden within.

On one mountain, dozens of robust Mutant Wild Boars were rampaging through the forest with an aggressive momentum.

On another mountain, hundreds or even thousands of Mutant Macaques were making incessant and ear-piercing screams.

…

This was the current state of Misty Mountains. Not only had its range expanded, but its strength had steadily increased as well.

Of course, what was most worth mentioning was that two new Tier-1 Transcendents had appeared under Yu Zi Yu’s command.

One of them was Thorns, who had become a Tier-1 Transcendent after receiving the baptism of Yu Zi Yu’s Life Essence. Her control over the blood-red vines had reached a deeper level, allowing her to manipulate them with ease.

She could easily extend and retract the blood-red vines that looked like blood-red Dragons. These vines could now strangle, entangle, and swiftly cover hundreds to thousands of meters of area, turning the entire region into a lifeless wasteland.

The other Tier-1 Transcendent was none other than Old Third, White Tiger, under Yu Zi Yu’s command.

After numerous bloody battles, White Tiger had finally broken through and become a Tier-1 Transcendent. 

Now, he was 6-7 meters tall, resembling a small building.

More importantly, his white fur had become extremely glossy, sparkling like it had been washed by water. The pitch-black pattern on his white fur gave him an aura of majesty and terror.

Facing the current White Tiger, even Transcendents would have their combat power reduced by a significant margin if their willpower was not strong enough.

This was the new formidable ability of the White Tiger.

White Tiger’s Might – The Tiger is the King of Beasts, reigning supreme over them. It constantly exudes a terrifying aura that can make ordinary beasts even lose the courage to resist. Even Transcendents would have their strength reduced by about 10-20%.

It was indeed a frightening ability. At least because of this ability, White Tiger had truly become the King of Beasts.

At this moment, Yu Zi Yu quietly looked at the sky, a trace of anticipation flickering in his eyes.

“In just two more days, the Spiritual Energy Tide will flood the earth,” murmuring softly, Yu Zi Yu heaved a long, deep breath.

Raising his gaze…

Powerful Mutant Beasts prostrating in North Canyon entered his sight. They appeared to be waiting for his command.

*Rooaar…* An earth-shaking and heart-pounding roar reverberated through North Canyon, causing it to quake slightly, as if it were quivering. Upon closer inspection, a massive White Tiger slowly stood up.

“Master, today, shall we go to conquer that high mountain?” asked White Tiger, filled with anticipation. Surprisingly, he could not converse using telepathy.

“Mhmm.” Yu Zi Yu nodded, not giving a definitive answer.

The high mountain in question was located in the eastern part of Misty Mountains, its altitude far higher than other mountains. It was like a barrier that severed the connection between Misty Mountains and Yangtze River.

It was said that this mountain range was called the Raya Mountains, and it was one of the highest ranges in China. Moreover, this mountain range was not only high but also vast.

Just this one chain of mountains could compare to one-third of Misty Mountains in size.

It was evident that this mountain range was incredibly massive.

Another point that could not be ignored was the Mutant Beasts hidden deep within this huge mountain range. Even Yu Zi Yu could sense several formidable and ferocious presence, not to mention those he could not perceive.

Although Yu Zi Yu was terrifying now, most Mutant Beasts were equally mysterious. There were many Mutant Beasts that could hide their presence. If Yu Zi Yu was not mistaken, this massive mountain range should have Spirit Stone Mines deep within it. Otherwise, it would not have given birth to so many Transcendent Mutant Beasts.

Smiling, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze toward the high mountain could not help but carry a hint of anticipation.

If these were Spirit Stone Mines of different attributes, he could greatly increase his Spiritual Energy in a short time.

“That mountain range is quite dangerous,” Thorns stated in a low voice; she was also a bit worried.

As a Plant Monster, her senses were exceptionally sharp. She could naturally sense the extraordinary nature of the Raya Mountains.

This was also the reason why even when within Misty Mountains, they had not ventured into Raya Mountains until now. Just on the basis of their senses, it was evident that these mountains were dangerous. If they delved deeper, it could be easily imagined how more dangerous these mountains would turn out to be.

Be that as it may, today was different.

As if he had thought of something, Yu Zi Yu suddenly looked towards a specific spot on the ground and calmly ordered, “Come out.”

The moment he gave the order, the ground violently trembled as an indescribable yet terrifying aura swept over the entire North Canyon. 

It was vast and boundless, as if it encompassed everything.

Even powerful Mutant Beasts like White Tiger and Thorns could not help but have their pupils shrink.

After a moment, a figure appeared before them.

It resembled a sculpture, hard and yellowish-brown in color.

The figure just stood still like a mountain, but the pressure it was giving off made everyone feel a little powerless.

Qing Gang – the Child of the Earth, an Elemental Lifeform.

After several days of training, he had finally gained control over his strength. His combat power had reached its peak. It could be said that among Mutant Beasts of the same level, there were few Mutant Beasts that could compete with him.

Even with White Tiger and Thorns working together, it would be extremely difficult to hurt him.

This was the Elemental Lifeform, the most powerful yet mysterious type of life form.

“Lord Divine Tree.” Greeting respectfully, Qing Gang knelt down and looked toward Yu Zi Yu’s tree body with a look of fervor in his eyes.

“Mhmm.” Nodding slightly, Yu Zi Yu ordered, “This time, when you can join everyone to conquer Raya Mountains.”

“Yes, Lord Divine Tree,” after agreeing in a very respectful voice, Qing Gang stood up.

When he turned around and noticed the stunned White Tiger and the astonished Thorns, Qing Gang shook his head imperceptibly.

Even in their dreams, White Tiger and Thorns had never expected for him to make an appearance here.

Not mentioning them, even he himself did not expect it.

However, this does not affect his excitement at the moment.

Raising his hand and looking at the Great White Tiger, Qing Gang greeted with a smile, “Long time no see, Brother Tiger.”

Then, Qing Gang cast a deep gaze turned to Thorns, who was no longer the same as before.

“Nice to meet you again. I am the Earth Guardian under Lord Divine Tree, Qing Lang.”

“Uh…” After a moment of silence, Thorns also looked at Qing Lang with mixed emotions.

She had known Qing Lang since the beginning. He had been following Yu Zi Yu from the very start. But, she had not expected Qing Gang would have grown to such an extent.

*Hu…* Heaving a long, deep breath, Thorns also proactively responded, “Thanks to Divine Tree’s guidance, I now call myself the Daughter of the Mountains, Thorns.”
