“Master, I’ve brought the Darkness Elemental Mine,” shouting from a distance, Tundra, the Eight Great Beast with almost no presence in Misty Mountains, slowly approached, carrying a mountain of black rock.

Now, the Mammoth, Tundra, stood at a towering height of 200-300 meters. From afar, he was truly a terrifying sight to behold.

However, considering the fact that Tundra’s combat prowess was not on par with the others, Yu Zi Yu had assigned him more miscellaneous tasks.

In Yu Zi Yu’s plan, if Tundra could grow to TIer-4, he could consider injecting it with ‘Titan Bloodline.’

It was a technology theorized by the top Human Scientists in Misty Mountains, which involved extracting the bloodline of a powerful race to bestow it upon another.

Currently, the Titan Bloodline was the most feasible for extraction. Furthermore, when various species reached Tier-4, their bodies were most unstable, making it the optimal time for successful bloodline fusion.

Of course, this was just an idea. Ultimately, it would depend on Tundra’s opinion.

The reason for this was Yu Zi Yu’s hope that in the future, Tundra could transform into the base of Misty Mountains, carrying the entire Misty Mountains, or even half a continent, across the stars.

A smile appeared on Yu Zi Yu’s lips at the thought of this. Nonetheless, he was not in a rush.

At this moment, gazing at the black mountain carried by Tundra, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed.

“A Dark Elemental Mine…” Muttering to himself, numerous roots extended from Yu Zi Yu like Giant Snakes, wrapping around the entire mountain.

*Rumble…* With ear-splitting rumbles, the black mountain, tens of meters high, was lifted by Yu Zi Yu’s roots.

*Booooom…* With another series of thunderous rumbles and shaking of the ground, this Dark Elemental Mine was placed on the ground. From this moment, Ned’s Dark Elemental Mine officially belonged to Yu Zi Yu.

Without any courtesy or hesitation, Yu Zi Yu’s roots entwined around the mountain, unleashing a terrifying suction.

*Rumble, rumble…* Amidst ceaseless rumbling, a massive amount of Dark Spiritual Energy converged towards Yu Zi Yu.

In just a moment, Yu Zi Yu’s body turned as black as ink.

Dark-Attribute was a very terrifying and rare Attribute. Every Dark-Attribute Mutant Beast could be considered a notch above their peers.

Just like Leng Feng among Humans, and the second strongest in the Tiger Clan, Dark Tiger. Of course, the Dark Dragon, Ned, was also in the list.

All of them possessed terrifying combat power and extremely strange methods. For instance, Leng Feng could control shadows and even use them to teleport to distant places.

It was his most proud technique: Shadow Escape.

If he were not just a Tier-3 in the Realm of King, Yu Zi Yu would have been truly impressed.

…

At this moment, Yu Zi Yu was eager to see what Divine Ability he might develop by absorbing the Dark Elemental Mine.

Of course, the more important goal was to create the Pocket of Darkness.

With this in mind, Yu Zi Yu’s consciousness sank into his body.

*Woooosh…* Accompanied by a deafening roar, endless darkness converged, pouring into Yu Zi Yu’s body.

From afar, it looked as if the night had turned into Yu Zi Yu’s cloak. It looked inexplicably eerie.

At the same time, a pitch black vortex appeared around Yu Zi Yu, resembling the other eight vortexes.

However, the moment this ninth vortex appeared, all nine Space Pockets trembled. They seemed to have gained a mysterious connection, as if they were resonating with each other.

Simultaneously, they began to revolve around Yu Zi Yu’s towering body.

“The nine Space Pockets achieved resonance the moment the ninth one was formed. The toughness of the Space Pockets is now several times stronger. And as energy is flowing between them, the other space pockets seem to be aiding in the expansion of the Pocket of Mist and Pocket of Darkness…” Murmuring to himself, Yu Zi Yu let out a sigh of relief.

Initially, he was worried that powerful Transcendents might be able to break into his Space Pockets. However, now, it became clear that his worries were unfounded.

The true Nine Realms of Heaven, as a Grand Divine Ability, could not be easily breached.

Last time, Levithan only managed to go on rampage because the Nine Realms of Heaven were not yet perfected.

However, now, with the Nine Realms acting as one, they had formed a small world.

It was impossible for anyone below Tier-5 to breach it. Even Tier-5 Transcendents would have to give it a try to know for sure.

At this moment, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze shifted to the Divine Abilities section on his status screen. As he glanced at several Elemental Divine Abilities, his eyes narrowed slightly.

[Now that I have reached Tier-5, it’s time to integrate my abilities. Of course, first I should check out my Dark-Attribute Divine Ability.]

Divine Ability: Dark Domain — The darkness is at your beck and call. You can summon boundless darkness, and transform an area of tens of kilometers into a domain and darkness, obliterating all senses, sight, and even sound.
“A Domain-Type Divine Ability…” Murmuring to himself, Yu Zi Yu’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Yu Zi Yu was satisfied with this Divine Ability. Compared to offensive abilities, Yu Zi Yu preferred strange and expansive domain-type abilities like this.

With a grin, Yu Zi Yu let this Divine Ability settle in his mind for a moment. After a short while, his Spiritual Energy surged, as a silent darkness surged like a tide from him, spreading in all directions.

In just a moment, Yu Zi Yu was greeted by dead silence.

Absolute silence.

However, Yu Zi Yu noticed that the Mutant Beasts around him had their expressions slightly changed, becoming cautious in the darkness.

Evidently, this sudden change startled them.

However, thanks to Yu Zi Yu’s training, they managed to keep their composure.

Even White Tiger, who Yu Zi Yu was most concerned about, crouched down, exuding a formidable aura as Spiritual Energy surged around him.

“Not bad, it can even block the sense of Tier-4 Mutant Beasts.” Smiling, Yu Zi Yu withdrew his Divine Ability.

[A strange technique like this can come in handy at critical moments.]

“Master, just now…” A sudden voice came from afar.

Looking up, Yu Zi Yu saw Nine Tails gazing at him in confusion.

“En.” Nodding slightly, Yu Zi Yu explained, “I was testing a new Divine Ability.”

“Divine Ability…” The corner of White Tiger’s eye twitched, as his facial expression froze. [Other Mutant Beasts struggled to obtain even one Divine Ability. But our Master keeps gaining them one after another.]
