By the time they returned to Misty Mountains, it was already late at night.

“Master…” A petite dark golden figure standing quietly under a giant Towering Tree called out gently.

His body was still heavily stained with blood, and his scales were shattered. His strong desire to meet his Master made Golden Ant rush here first.

[Compared to three years ago, Master looks even more majestic.]

Strands of emerald green Willow Branches, like divine chains, shuttled through the clouds and even reached deep into space. The rough Tree Trunk emanated a holy glow from inside out. Under this glow, even Golden Ant felt a faint warmth.

More importantly, the shattered scales on his slowly started healing.  It was a different kind of healing than that of Life Essence. It was a whole new kind of force.

This was Light-Attribute Spiritual Energy, a sacred and extraordinary energy.

[In Western mythology, the power of light had always been controlled by the Gods and was untouchable by mortals. But now, Master has proven this legend wrong with his actions.]

[No! There’s another possibility! Master had long possessed some of the power of the Gods!] With a joyous smile in his heart, Golden Ant, who hadn’t seen Yu Zi Yu for a long time, was filled with emotions.

However, right at this moment…

*Boom…* A deafening rumble shook the world.

Looking up, the enormous Towering Tree seemed to have awakened, with its Willow Branches, resembling divine chains, shuttling back and forth through the clouds and even space.

At the same time, countless rootlets broke through the soil, intertwining into a figure of a gentle young man with long hair.

The young man smiled, inexplicable nostalgia filling his eyes, looking at Golden Ant.

“Long time no see, Little Fifth,” greeting, Yu Zi Yu gently waved his hand.

*Swoosh…* The next moment, a visible beam of light suddenly descended from space, tearing through the night sky, and enveloping Golden Ant.

Immediately after, to the somewhat astonished gaze of Golden Ant, all his injuries on his body began to heal at a terrifying speed. It was not just his body, even his Soul and lost vitality were restored.

“Compared to using Vital Energy to heal the body, the power of the Light-Attribute can also heal others’ Soul and vitality to a certain extent,” Yu Zi Yu gave a simple explanation, feeling satisfied with the result. [Worthy of the legendary power of the Light-Attribute. It’s truly extraordinary and mysterious.]

According to legend, when the power of the Light-Attribute Spiritual Energy was cultivated to its peak, it could even truly resurrect others.

That was a kind of power even Yu Zi Yu yearned for.

However, it was just wishful thinking, because even in the previous era, not many people were able to cultivate the power of Light-Attribute Spiritual Energy to its peak.

If this power were cultivated to its peak, even if it wasn’t a Major Divine Ability, it would not be far from it.

“Thank you, Master.” With a deep bow, Golden Ant expressed gratitude.

However, after a moment, as if remembering something, Golden Ant suddenly spoke, “Master, just now Second Brother said he wants to convene the Council of Kings…”

Before Golden Ant could finish, Yu Zi Yu interrupted, “I won’t participate in this… I’m leaving everything to your discretion.”

“Understood.” With a hint of surprise, Golden Ant nodded repeatedly.

With his intelligence, he naturally understood the implicit meaning behind Yu Zi Yu’s words. In other words, declaring war on the Sea Clan was set in stone. Only, how to declare war, and in what manner it would take was up for discussion.

When necessary, they would need to inform the Orca Clan residing in the depths of the Arctic Ocean, as well as the fearsome being that had long become an overlord of the sea, Slytherin.

*Haaaa…* Taking a deep breath, Golden Ant suppressed his thoughts.

Compared to Bull Demon, he was unaware of the current situation in Misty Mountains. He needed to listen more to the arrangements of Elder Sister and Second Brother.

And now, the most important thing was to wait, wait for his Elder Sister and Sixth Sister to awaken…

Just then, as if sensing something, Yu Zi Yu and Golden Ant glanced at each other and nodded in unison.

In an instant, with a swoosh, Golden Ant turned into a dark golden streak, shooting towards a nearby location.

Meanwhile, Yu Zi Yu deeply glanced at the direction where Golden Ant disappeared, before his figure quietly merged into the earth.

Moments later, the roots intertwined once again, forming the figure of Yu Zi Yu in a small canyon, within which lay a bottomless pool of blood, with a huge crimson sphere at its center.

At this moment, this crimson sphere was continuously rotating and slowly rising from the pool.

Faintly, an indescribable fluctuation filled the air.

[Finally, Thorns is undergoing metamorphosis…] Heaving a long, deep sigh, Yu Zi Yu looked at this blood-colored sphere, his eyes flickering with amazement.

Thorns used to be Human. Later, she merged with a Blood Vine that had gained sentience, and became a Plant-Human hybrid under Yu Zi Yu.

Now, after devouring millions of Blood Essences, she was finally undergoing a true transformation.

*Roooaar…* Amidst strange roars that sounded like Dragon’s Roars yet also like Snake’s Hisses, Crimson Flood Dragons rose into the sky from the depths of the blood pool, one after another, with a thick nauseating scent of blood filling the air, making it more oppressive.

At the same time, an invisible aura also spread through the surroundings, making the brows of each Mutant Beast furrow. It was simply because this aura was too ominous.

More importantly, just as this aura appeared, their blood started boiling, giving them a filling as if their blood would burst out of their bodies at any moment. In fact, if not for them suppressing this sensation with their Spiritual Energy, their bodies might burst under this invisible suction force…

Of course, this was just a ‘might’.

After all, everyone who resided in the core area of Misty Mountains were at least Tier-3 Transcendents, like the Nine Great Beasts, or the three War Generals. If the blood of such powerful creatures went out of control, then Thorns would not be just a Tier-3 Transcendent.

…

Right at this moment, another unusual roar, resembling a Dragon’s Roar and a Snake’s Hiss, echoed as the crimson sphere slowly rotating in the sky gradually started transforming, much to Yu Zi Yu’s curiosity.

Not long after, amidst another unusual roar, a Crimson Flood Dragon, stretching for hundreds of meters, formed entirely of blood, silently coiled above the center of the blood pool.

Atop the head of this Crimson Flood Dragon, a girl with crimson hair happened to be calmly standing.
