At that moment, sensing Sarcosuchus’ gaze, Yu Zi Yu in the depths of the canyon smirked, muttering, “You’ve got quite the eye, huh?”

With these words, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze shifted towards Behemoth that had been pounded deep into the earth by Golden Ant not far away.

As Tier-4 Transcendents, Golden Ant’s strength was indeed insurmountable. Unfortunately, Behemoth boasted terrifying defenses surpassing even that of Sarcosuchus and Brewmaster.

Even more terrifying was its strength which was inexhaustible as long as it stood on the ground. It could even recover from injuries by devouring rocks and even mountains. Such a monster was more fearsome than the Steel Progenitor, who had once stepped into Tier-4.

[No wonder, it could contend with the Giant Dragon Clan during its peak.]

“Hmm…” Yu Zi Yu hummed while recalling the Steel Element Heart currently integrating within him.

[If everything goes well, I would soon be able to harness the power of the Steel Element Heart.] Thinking this, Yu Zi Yu glanced with interest at the distant Behemoth.

[In terms of strength alone, it’s difficult to say who among Behemoth, Golden Ant, and Sarcosuchus, these three Champions of Close Combat, will come out on top. If Golden Ant fails to finish off Behemoth before his strength declines, his small frame would surely suffer injuries from Behemoth’s fists. He will not be killed. If he can’t win he can always escape.]

Yu Zi Yu turned to look towards the other side. [Sarcosuchus, on the other hand, can put up a good fight against Behemoth. However, given their enduring stamina and formidable Physiques, determining a victor within a short span will be challenging.]

It wasn’t that Yu Zi Yu was looking down on Sarcosuchus; rather, Behemoth’s reputation as the champion of terrestrial warfare was not a self-proclaimed title, but one deeply earned through his fists.

[However, this is just a Black Iron Behemoth. The truly terrifying among the Behemoths is the Gold Behemoth, which is immune to all Elements and possesses a body that is invincible. Just thinking about it gives me shivers.]

…

“Sarcosuchus, why don’t you go and with Behemoth? It’s been so long since you broke through, and you haven’t had a proper fight yet,” raising his gaze and noticing Sarcosuchus’ eagerness, Yu Zi Yu gave the order directly.

“Yes, Master.” Sarcosuchus didn’t refuse either, rather a wide grin appeared on his mouth.

*Thump, thump, thump…* Lifting his thick, stout legs, Sarcosuchus proceeded step by step toward the distant battlefield.

As for besieging or anything of that sort, it was a trivial matter.

After all, Behemoth was so tough that even besieging it might not result in its death, rather it might even make it more excited.

The reason Yu Zi Yu arranged for Sarcosuchus to join the battle was simply to see if this Black Iron Behemoth had any limits.

Nonetheless, one thing was certain: Yu Zi Yu had set his sights on this Black Iron Behemoth.

“You’re destined to be a member of my Sentinel,” murmuring to himself, a hint of anticipation flickered in Yu Zi Yu’s eyes.

Sentinel — It was the strongest fighting force Yu Zi Yu was planning to establish to go on expeditions in space. They would fight for Yu Zi Yu without paying any heed for the sacrifices.

Unlike Nine Tails and other Mutant Beasts who had formed an emotional bond with Yu Zi Yu over time, or Ling Er and others who were part of Yu Zi Yu’s inner circle, these individuals caught Yu Zi Yu’s attention solely for their fearsome combat prowess and remarkable Innate Talent. Their power had prompted him to decide to gather and cultivate them.

In return, they would fight for Yu Zi Yu.

Since it was their sole purpose, even if they perished in battle, Yu Zi Yu would not regret it.

[Exploring stars will inevitably lead to casualties. And if death is inevitable, I can only choose to sacrifice unfamiliar individuals. As for Nine Tails and other Mutant Beasts, they would serve as the final line of defense, guarding Misty Mountains and even this world when necessary.] Thinking this, Yu Zi Yu admired his own ingenuity.

Although this approach might seem unfair to the members of the Sentinel, it was the best solution Yu Zi Yu could come up with.

*Haaaa…* Exhaling a long, deep breath, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze shifted to the Pocket of Vitality.

In the deepest part of the Pocket of Vitality was the Sea Beast King Beast, whose strength was sufficient to make him a member of Sentinel.

Sentinels followed an elite path, with the base threshold being Tier-4 Transcendent.

The reasons for this were self-evident.

Apart from Natural Disaster-Class entities, what other LiFe forms could adapt to other planets, let alone compete with countless races in space?

As for why they were fighting against the countless races in space?

Grinning, Yu Zi Yu’s lips curved into a cruel arc.

According to the ‘Dark Forest Law,’ every civilisation in space was an enemy, and Yu Zi Yu completely agreed with this.

So… from the beginning, Yu Zi Yu never intended to coexist peacefully. If he truly had to choose between killing and being killed…Yu Zi Yu preferred to be the hunter who hunted prey.

…

“Behemoth is more than capable of becoming a Sentinel. What about you?” Murmuring to himself, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze also shifted southward across the continent.

Looking up, he saw a blaze of fire lighting up the night sky.

However, if one had keen perception at this moment, they would undoubtedly notice that the distant Fire-Attribute Spiritual Energy was almost boiling, suppressing even the Spiritual Energy of other attributes.

It was blazing hot, incredibly so. Melting even the ground into magma, even the mountains were slowly melting.

Within the flames, the fearsome tyrant who had once pursued Golden Ant showed itself, the Red Beak Platypus.

*Quack, quack…* As it let out strange calls, increasingly scorching waves of flames surged towards Misty Mountains’ group.

“I’ll handle this one myself.” Grinning, as if she had discovered something delightful, Little White high up in the sky slowly flew towards the south of the continent.

She was the epitome of cold, one who could control cold currents, summon frigid northern winds, and even freeze space.

Yet now, she felt a faint sense of crisis.

There was no denying it that this Natural Disaster-Class existence of Fire-Attribute had piqued her interest.

She was extremely excited. She was looking forward to battling this creature.

*Rooooaar…* Giving out a deafening Dragon Roar, Little White flicked her tail and shot towards south, leaving a winding trail of countless ice crystals that gradually dissipated from everyone’s sight.
