With a swoosh, a streak of blood-red split through the vast sea.

Immediately after, much to the astonishment of numerous Mutant Sea Creatures, the world suddenly seemed to have dimmed, as if a black cloak had covered the entered sky.

Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a piece of beast skin, immense in size.

It stretched for thousands of feet in length and hundreds of feet in width.

And yet, it had shrunk by half under the drag of that streak of blood light.

Now, dragged by that blood red streak, the spanning beast skin appeared like a continuous black cloud, surging towards the direction of the continent.

…

At this moment, deep within Misty Mountains, Yu Zi Yu, who had just finished dealing with trivial matters, suddenly felt something and looked in a certain direction.

The next moment, to his somewhat astonished gaze, a pitch-black crack appeared in space.

And within the depths of the crack, he could faintly see a crimson light, as bloody as blood, flickering.

“What’s that?”

“What a sharp aura!?”

Exclamations rang out as powerful Mutant Beasts within Misty Mountains emerged from their lairs, raising their heads and looking at the sky.

After a moment, a continuously black color spanning across the sky entered their sight, resembling a dark cloud.

But upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a piece of beast skin.

At the forefront of the beast skin, creatures as powerful as Nine Tails and Brewmaster, as well as creatures like the Spirit Butterfly, could clearly see a Blood Red Willow Leaf.

“No need to worry,” a faint voice echoed in the void. The voice of the Divine Tree immediately put the Mutant Beasts at ease.

Although the sharp aura coming from above almost tore their flesh, for some reason, as long as Yu Zi Yu was by their side, they felt no fear.

This kind of feeling might not be understood by these Mutant Beasts, but among Humans, it was called ‘reliance’ or ‘belief.’

With something to rely on in their hearts, they could rest assured.

However, right at that moment…

“You’re finally back…” a light laughter echoed as Yu Zi Yu turned his gaze towards the streak of blood-red light that ripped the sky apart.

It was red as blood and carried a strong scent of blood. Yet, even more terrifying than the scent of blood was the sharp aura radiating from it which could tear through anything.

Just by looking at it, many Mutant Beasts felt a stinging sensation in their eyes. For those with sharp eyes, such as the Peregrine Falcons and other birds, a drop of blood even bled out from the corners of their eyes.

“Don’t look at it too much,” warned Yu Zi Yu, attempting to control the Blood Red Willow Leaf.

Much to Yu Zi Yu’s pleasant surprise, in just a few days it was away from him, the Blood Red Willow Leaf had undergone significant changes; not only in appearance, but also in sharpness, which was a whole notch higher than before.

If it weren’t for the faint connection he still had with it, Yu Zi Yu would have suppressed it with his own hands.

However, at this moment, seemingly sensing Yu Zi Yu’s intentions, the distant streak of blood-red tearing space suddenly trembled.

It seemed to be nervous, yet also afraid. However, sensing the increasingly intense summons, the Blood Red Willow Leaf slowly emerged from the torn black crack.

At this moment, with a flash of thought, Yu Zi Yu’s Spiritual Energy began to surge, terrifying and extreme like a tsunami.

Along with the roaring Spiritual Energy, two green Willow Leaves also rose from Yu Zi Yu’s trunk.

At this moment, sensing the familiar aura, the Blood Red Willow Leaf hovering in the sky suddenly trembled.

Immediately after, to Yu Zi Yu’s somewhat expectant gaze, it suddenly accelerated and shot straight towards him.

With a deafening boom, its speed suddenly soared, arriving before Yu Zi Yu in the blink of an eye, as if tearing through space.

At this moment, Yu Zi Yu did not choose to dodge or defend. Rather, he opened a crack in his trunk.

Immediately after, a thunderous boom reverberated shook the world as a blood-red wave visible to the naked eyes spread out like shockwaves in all directions.

At this moment, if one could look past the blood-colored shockwave, they would undoubtedly see the Blood Red Willow Leaf gradually seeping into Yu Zi Yu’s tree body, bit by bit.

Originally, it was Yu Zi Yu’s Natal Willow Leaf, tempered within Yu Zi Yu’s body day and night. And now, after completely devouring the essence of a Tier-3, a terrifying Mutant Sea Creature with Spiritual Energy Level of 5-6 million, it had developed a hint of sentience.

However, this trace of sentience was very weak, and a blank slate when it came to the understanding of the world, like a newborn life.

If it weren’t for the connection between Yu Zi Yu and it, it would not have torn through space to come here.

And just now, Yu Zi Yu had also drawn out the other two Natal Willow Leaves that shared the same origin with it. Then, drawn by the familiar aura, the Blood Red Willow Leaf recognized Yu Zi Yu as its true ‘Master.’

In this way, it chose to return.

At this moment, if one looked from Yu Zi Yu’s perspective, they could even see that this Blood Red Willow Leaf had gained a status screen of its own.

Like any other life, it now had its own abilities.

Whale’s Roar – When flying at extreme speed, it can issue an ancient Whale’s roar, subsequently creating horrifying shockwaves, creating an intimidating pressure. What’s even more daunting is that from a distance, it looks like a Gigantic Whale the size of a continent is charging over, with an extremely alarming momentum.

It was a very powerful ability. Even if Yu Zi Yu didn’t use it, he could imagine the terrifying scene it would create when he summoned this Blood Red Willow Leaf.

That kind of scene was definitely not ordinary.

However, suppressing his curiosity, Yu Zi Yu abandoned the idea of summoning the Blood Red Willow Leaf.

Currently, the Blood Red Willow Leaf was still in its infancy and needed to be nurtured. The best place for nurturing the Blood Red Willow Leaf was naturally within Yu Zi Yu’s body, in the vast ocean of Spiritual Energy.

At this moment, if one looked into the depths of Yu Zi Yu’s body, they could even see the Blood Red Willow Leaf quietly floating in a vast ocean of Spiritual Energy, resembling a starry sky, enjoying the waves of Spiritual Energy crashing over it again and again.

Amidst the crashing waves, a long and lonely song echoed as a shadow of a gigantic blood-colored Whale, resembling a continent, emerged in the ocean of Spiritual Energy.

“It has indeed become a Psychic Weapon,” mumbling, Yu Zi Yu’s corners of lips rose into a smile.

When this Blood Red Willow Leaf returned to his body, Yu Zi Yu had a feeling that his combat power had increased by 10-20% because of this Blood Red Willow Leaf.

It went without saying that it was an extremely terrifying increment.

For other Mutant Beasts, increasing combat power by 10-20% might not be significant, but for him, it was beyond terrifying.

After all, Yu Zi Yu’s own combat power was already enough to make the world look up to him.

At his level, let alone an increase of 10-20%, even a slight increase was terrifying.

However, that was secondary.

What was truly terrifying was that, with his insight, he could naturally see that this was only a partial ability of this Blood Red Willow Leaf. With continuous tempering, he would keep unearthing the true power of this Blood Red Willow Leaf.
