The Road to Heavens, the passage connecting Earth and the Moon, was a bridge built using Yu Zi Yu’s purple roots.  Only those who walked on the Road to Heavens could finally reach the Moon.

As for individuals attempting it on their own, unfortunately, without at least the power of Tier-4, few could travel through space. For example, Behemoth, although his physical body was strong enough to ignore cosmic storms and various radiations, he could not fly.

For Aerial Mutant Beasts, relying solely on their physical bodies, they would find it difficult to survive in the vacuum of space. They could only live for a few days to half a month by relying on Spiritual Energy.

Furthermore, Spiritual Energy limits were still far higher than physical limits.

Currently, the most likely candidate who could fly from Earth to Moon using personal strength was Nine Tails, whose Spiritual Energy was nearly infinite. That too was only possible by reaching a certain speed, and it came with immense risks.

Thus, the safest route was the Road to Heavens built using Yu Zi Yu’s purple root, directly leading to the Moon, with Yu Zi Yu’s Spiritual Energy constantly providing a safe environment.

“Then, I will take the Spirit Veins to the Celestial Realm.” Grinning, the gargantuan Sarcosuchus, who resembled no different than a hill, stated with excitement.

“Hmm, okay.” Nodding his understanding, Golden Ant assured, “Don’t worry, with me guarding this spatial rift, no outsider will enter.”

“Great.” Sarcosuchus chuckled in response. He had complete trust in Golden Ant’s strength.

As a matter of fact, while there were many Natural Disaster-Class Transcendents in Misty Mountains, only ten were acknowledged as the strongest.

Golden Ant happened to be one of these ten.

These Top Ten Natural Disasters were true terrors. For instance, Behemoth was completely invincible in the same tier.  Then, there was Redbeak Platypus, whose explosive power few Tier-4 Powerhouses could withstand.

Only Transcendents like these could firmly stand among the Ten Great Natural Disasters.

These Top Ten Natural Disasters did not only refer to the Transcendents of Misty Mountains but also include those from other forces.

Not long ago, during an attack on the Vatican, the overwhelming power of six Mutant Beasts of Natural Disaster-Class from Misty Mountains left a lasting legend.

The unstoppable mythical Terrestrial King, who walks alone, Behemoth.

The Storm King, the Evil Tiger, that can lay waste to cities as it flies over them, creating storms.

The Redbeak King, the Platypus, who makes the Earth quakes at every step, and triggers a volcanic eruption at every seven steps, turning the world into a red purgatory.

…

When these legendary Natural Disasters descended, even the most famous city of the Vatican, Rome, along with its surrounding cities were reduced to rubble.

If not for a clairvoyant in Rome, who managed to see some bits of the future, casualties would have exceeded millions.

Still, even with timely notification, tens of thousands of people who failed to evacuate in time were wiped out in the battle of Natural Disasters.

It could even be said that the descent of the Great Natural Disasters not only established Misty Mountains’ unparalleled fame but also crushed the resistance of various Human forces.

Among these six Natural Disasters, five were classified among the world’s Top Ten Great Disasters, also known as ‘Divine Wraiths.’

When they moved, it was akin to the advent of an apocalyptic calamity. Each was terrifying to the extreme.

At present, there were very few powerhouses in the world capable of withstanding these Natural Disasters. Notably, there was a Divine Bird in the southeastern corner of Asia, resembling a Phoenix but jet-black in colour. She once battled the Evil Tiger for an entire day and night, shattering the sky, which restored some confidence in various races.

At least on the surface, there were still powerhouses capable of contending with the Natural Disasters of Misty Mountains, which prevented the major forces from falling into a total despair. However, what these forces could not imagine was that this mysterious Divine Bird, Demonic Phoenix, was currently a guest of Misty Mountains.

“Hahaha…” White Tiger, lying on a tall peak, surrounded by mist and clouds, burst into a hearty laughter, flapping his wings along the laughter, kicking up a storm. “You are the first to force me to reveal my Innate Divine Ability, Promote Evil and Condemn Good, apart from my Brothers and Sisters of Misty Mountains…”

“Is that so?” An ethereal voice, as if not belonging to this world, echoed in the air, as a 3-4 meters tall, pitch-black Demonic Phoenix, sitting far away on another peak, chirped softly.

Her eyes happened to be glued on White Tiger, filled with intrigue.

She had not expected the Misty Mountains to possess such strength, especially someone with an Innate Divine Ability that could nearly invert black and white, distorting her senses and perception. If it had been anyone else, they might have perished the moment White Tiger unleashed his Divine Ability.

[How terrifying!] Demonic Phoenix thought to herself while gazing over the entire Misty Mountains.

With roars of Dragons and Tigers erupting from everywhere, and an ethereal and prismatic glow surrounding everything, the entire Misty Mountains seemed like an Immortal Paradise.

The air was filled with nearly gasified Spiritual Energy, sparkling with a prismatic glow under the sunlight.

However, that was still not the crux of the matter.

The thing that left her intrigued was that the entire Misty Mountains harbored several auras no weaker than White Tiger’s, some even surpassing him.

After a moment of silence, Demonic Phoenix realized that the rise of Misty Mountains was unstoppable. She once again was sure of her speculation, that this force would truly be standing at the top of the world, ruling over everything.

Just then, seemingly struck with a thought, White Tiger grinned and proposed, “I say, Little Phoenix, you seem lonely by yourself. Why not come and join us, Misty Mountains?”

*Hmph!* With a proud snort, Demonic Phoenix turned her head away.

[How audacious! To think that he would dare to invite me so directly. No wonder this guy has earned the title ‘Evil Tiger’; it seems he truly is odious.]

“Uh…” Demonic Phoenix’s act of turning her head away left White Tiger completely puzzled.

[This doesn’t make any sense! When she arrived, didn’t she seem inclined to join Misty Mountains? Why did she refuse when invited directly?] Confused, White Tiger turned his head and cast a glance at the meditating Bull Demon, prompting him to slowly open his eyes.

…

Gazing at Demonic Phoenix with three star-like black plumes on her tail far away, a strange glint flashed in Bull Demon’s eyes.

Standing up slowly, Bull Demon patted White Tiger’s head and stated with a smile, “I apologize on behalf of my Third Brother’s lack of manners.”

After apologizing, he cupped his hands and continued, “I am the Second Great Beast of Misty Mountains, Bull Demon. I’ve long heard of your esteemed reputation. This time, I sincerely invite you to join Misty Mountains on behalf of all of us. Believe me, and believe in Misty Mountains, you won’t be disappointed.”
