“It really is a terrifying continent…” Marveling, a slender figure leaned against the cliff in the depths of a desert canyon.

Beside this slender figure was a thick, purplish root, shimmering with an illusionary texture. This was naturally the Cosmic Root.

At this moment, if one looked deep into the canyon, they would see a Willow Tree over 10 meters tall, adorned with starlight, shimmering brightly. Each of its branches seemed to weave through the night sky like divine chains.

Through the Cosmic Root in Australia, Yu Zi Yu accurately determined Australia’s location, and then using the Power of Space, silently arrived in this canyon, taking root here.

“It is indeed terrifying.”  Responding to Yu Zi Yu was a calmly standing golden figure, with two antennae longer than its body, and shining scales, resembling a warrior.

The golden figure was none other than Golden Ant, one of the most terrifying powerhouses under Yu Zi Yu’s command and the one most familiar with Australia.

“Compared to other continents, the most terrifying aspect of Australia lies in its belligerence and ferocity. Here, strength is all that matters, and the strong are revered… Every day, every moment, fierce battles would be taking place somewhere. Here, even weak Mutant Beasts dare not relax for a second… However, as a result, the proportion of powerful Transcendents born in Australia far exceeds that of other continents. Every powerhouse here has emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. It would be an insult to call them anything less than ‘skilled warriors’…”

In this brief introduction, Golden Ant aptly pointed out the terrifying aspects of Australia.

“En…” Yu Zi Yu slightly nodded his understanding. Through his spread senses, he could see a Mutant Kangaroo, a mere Tier-1, trembling as it slowly approached White Tiger. This gave him an idea of how formidable the Mutant Beasts on this continent were.

They might fear, they might feel timid, but they would rather die in battle than submit.

At this moment, as if sensing something, Yu Zi Yu also raised his eyes and looked towards the sky.

There, hanging high in the sky were five vortexes. In addition to the Lightning Vortex, Mutant Beasts were also emerging from the other vortexes as well.

However, compared to the Mutant Beasts rushing in all directions from the Lightning Vortex, those emerging from the other vortices were more orderly, more disciplined.

They landed on the ground one after another, constantly gathering.

“Hmmm… Compared to White Tiger, it seems that Nine Tails and the others pay more attention to discipline…” Watching the Mutant Beasts in the desert continuously gathering like legions, Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but purse his lips into a smile, revealing a hint of admiration.

[I’ve to admit that Nine Tails and the others are quite good. As for the White Tiger…] Shaking his head helplessly, Yu Zi Yu could not say this Cat was wrong.

It was just White Tiger’s nature. When Yu Zi Yu was considering letting him command the Legion of Lightning, he had already imagined this scenario.

Regarding this, Yu Zi Yu naturally wouldn’t interfere too much. Yu Zi Yu had already instructed everyone to form a legion within each Space Pocket, with each legion having a Commander and a Deputy Commander.

The Commander of the Legion of Lightning was White Tiger, and his deputy was Lightning Bear.

The Commander of the Legion of Flame was Nine Tails, and her deputy was Bull Demon…

Five Space Pockets meant five legions.

Once they left the Space Pockets, Yu Zi Yu had no intention of interfering with anything concerning the legions.

Armies are to be maintained for years but used on a single day.

Now, it was their time.

What Yu Zi Yu needed to do was cultivate with the resources they collected.

Of course, Yu Zi Yu also had the intention of training them, but whether his plan would be fruitful or not, Yu Zi Yu could not say for sure.

[If it succeeds, then these five legions would become the incarnate of a Natural Disaster Legion, undoubtedly making countless Mutant Beasts and even Humans shudder in the future. If it fails…] Shaking his head, Yu Zi Yu didn’t want to think too much about it.

Each legion was led by a Natural Disaster-Class Transcendent and supported by numerous powerful Mutant Beasts. If it failed even under these circumstances, he would be really disappointed.

*Sigh…* Heaving a sigh, Yu Zi Yu set aside his worries and turned to walk towards his main body.

Right at this moment, Yu Zi Yu’s voice echoed in the air, “Go, your legion needs you.”

“Yes, Master.” Nodding slightly, Golden Ant silently headed towards the Legion of Light.

Golden Ant was the Commander of the Legion of Light. The entire Legion of Light was waiting for his leadership. As a matter of fact, although the five legions were classified according to Elemental Attributes, the members of the legions were free to choose where they wanted to be.

Like the Eighth Great Beast, Tundra. Although he was an Ice-Attribute Mutant Beasts, he was a member of the Legion of Earth, following Emperor Crocodile, who was also an Atavistic Behemoth.

As for the Seventh Great Beast, Titan, he became the Deputy Commander of the Legion of Light because of his aggressive and belligerent nature.

Each legion tended to follow the leadership of their commander.

…

At this moment, high up in the sky, unbeknownst to anyone…

Suddenly, a purple bolt of lightning illuminated the night sky, as a terrifying pressure caused all the Beasts to tremble and bow their heads.

Right then, amidst an increasingly loud Dragon Roar reverberated across the sky, gleaming purple scales flashed briefly in the depths of the dark clouds.

This was the Tenth Great Beast of Misty Mountains, Lightning Dragon.

At the behest of the Divine Tree, it was on a quest to find his Biological Father.

He had no memories of him, and neither did he have any feelings for his Biological Father. However, considering that he brought him into this world, the Little Tenth reluctantly flew towards his Biological Father’s nest.

Yet, at this moment, as if remembering something, a hint of curiosity flashed in the Lightning Dragon’s eyes.

[According to Master, my Father is friends with him. I wonder, how did my Father manage to become friends with Master? After all, despite Misty Mountains having thousands of Mutant Beasts, there are very few that Master considers friends.]

…

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Little Tenth…

In the direction he was heading, there was a valley that had completely become pitch-black; everything was black here, the ground, the mountains, and even the water.

The extremely rich Darkness Element had devoured everything.

In the pitch-black darkness, a pair of Dragon Eyes, resembling black obsidian, slowly opened.

Strangely, these Dragon Eyes also happened to be pitch-black, yet in this darkness, they were clearly visible. More importantly, they were radiating an inexplicable majesty.

“You… are back…” Sighing, his Spiritual Energy surged, followed by surging battle intent, growing stronger by the minute, shooting through the sky.

An ear splitting Dragon Roar shook the sky, before a Black Dragon flapped his wings and soared into the sky, stirring a massive storm, much to the astonishment of countless Mutant Beasts.
