Demonic Phoenix, spreading her wings, flew into the Pool of Immortality at Yu Zi Yu’s behest, splashing greenish blue liquid into the air with a loud splash.

However, just a moment later, as if encountering something exhilarating, a loud and piercing screech echoed through the Moon. At the source, the crystalline Pool of Immortality surged with waves, the liquid constantly whirling to form a green vortex rushing toward Demonic Phoenix.

Her black feathers became tinged with a faint greenish halo, and a touch of green silently creeping into the depths of her eyes.

At this moment, Demonic Phoenix resembled a black hole, absorbing all of Yu Zi Yu’s Life Essence.

*Crack, crack…* Continuous bone-popping sounds, deafening and thunderous, erupted from her.

At this moment, Yu Zi Yu’s Life Essence had permeated into Demonic Phoenix’s body, starting to strengthen even her bones. No, not just her bones, a trace of Life Essence had permeated even her Soul.

As a Spirit Essence of Tier-5, nourishing the Soul was quite an ordinary feat.

After all, having stepped into Tier-5, Yu Zi Yu’s Soul had undergone an extremely profound metamorphosis. As a result, it was not surprising for the Spirit Essence produced by him to nourish the Soul as well.

*Screeeech…* Demonic Phoenix let out an increasingly sharp screech, sending tumultuous sound waves through space.

…

However, at this moment, Yu Zi Yu’s focus was not on Demonic Phoenix, simply because the baptism of the Pool of Immortality would take at least half a day, sometimes one or two days.

Rather than focusing on Demonic Phoenix’s state, he found it more important to arrange Qing Gang, Bull Demon, and other Mutant Beasts.

“Qing Gang, I want you to build a magnificent palace on this barren land, and also build eight main cities,” a faint voice echoed through the silent Moon, startling Qing Gang.

However, after a moment, as if realizing something, Qing Gang grinned and responded proactively, “Yes, Master.”

With that, Qing Gang’s body momentarily shook before slowly merging into the Earth.

At the same time, an intrigued gleam flashed deep in Yu Zi Yu’s eyes, because at this moment, he felt as if almost half of the Moon had come alive.

Silent yet thunderous roars erupted around the Moon as mountains collapsed and ravines slowly closed.

Everything seemed to have become a part of Qing Gang’s body, controlled and manipulated at will by Qing Gang.

As if sensing Yu Zi Yu’s astonished gaze, in the distance, a mountain suddenly rose, with two words in ginormous characters emerging on the top of the mountain, “Greetings, Master.”

Seeing this, Yu Zi Yu could not help but be a bit amused.

However, this also made him realize the terror of Elementals: ‘They are indeed the Children of the Elements.’

“In that case, these two Elemental Fruits of mine should not go to waste,” amidst Yu Zi Yu’s murmurs, countles branches wove into a slender figure, with two fruits appearing in his hands.

One shone as brightly as the sun, radiating a pure white halo.

The other resembled a black hole, devouring all light.

They were the Elemental Fruits — Light and Darkness.

These were Supreme Treasures produced by Yu Zi Yu while practicing Light and Dark-Attribute Divine Techniques.

They could greatly enhance one’s Innate Talent and could even transform one into an Elemental.

So far, every single being who has consumed Yu Zi Yu’s Elemental Fruits had become a Natural Disaster.

Qing Gang — the Child of Earth, Little White — the Ice Elemental Flood Dragon, as well as Yu Zi Yu’s First Apostle, the Flame Nun — Aisha.

The Elemental Clan was a well-renowned Clan even in the previous era. Every single member of this Clan grew into a Tier-4 Transcendent when they became adults. Moreover, their abilities were mysterious and extraordinary.

Those with good comprehension could tap deeper into the power of Elements, and their combat prowess could rival even some legendary races.

This was the power bestowed by the Elemental Fruits.

In addition, maybe because Yu Zi Yu’s strength had grown increasingly terrifying, he could even feel a subtle connection with every individual who had consumed the Elemental Fruits. Through this connection, Yu Zi Yu could easily know their location and even their conditions.

More terrifyingly, he could influence them from afar.

In other words, Yu Zi Yu seems to have absolute control over these Children of the Elements.

Alternatively, these Children of the Elements, like Apostles, had no possibility of betrayal.

Betrayal meant death. No matter where they were, their life and death were in Yu Zi Yu’s hands.

And things did not end here.

Maybe it was an illusion, but Yu Zi Yu felt that as these Children of the Elements grew stronger, his mastery over the corresponding Elements seemingly grew stronger as well.

In the past, Yu Zi Yu found it difficult to utilize Earth-Attribute powers and even Divine Abilities to the degree he could do now.

Now, with just a raise of his hand, Yu Zi Yu saw the ground not far away slowly started churning. In a moment, the lunar soil moulded into a colossal hand, towering into the sky according to Yu Zi Yu’s will.

Moreover, this giant hand was more than just large. Upon closer inspection, one could even see palm lines on the palm of this giant hand, just like a real hand.

[Hmmm… If my speculation is correct, along with the growth of the Children of the Elements, my understanding of the corresponding Elements will also deepen… and there’s even a slight hope of reaching the level of Principles…] In a voice tinged with playfulness, Yu Zi Yu looked at the distant Qing Gang, who had merged into the lunar surface, with a hint of expectation.

[As expected, if my true form was not of a selfless and dedicated Divine Tree, how could I possibly condense such Against-Heaven Elemental Fruits for others for free?]

[After all, the more treasures one possesses, the more everyone coveted them, and the more dangerous it becomes for them. By the looks of it, the so-called Elemental Fruits are just carriers of my Elemental Powers. Moreover, any being who consumes the Elemental Fruits, in a larger sense, serves as vessels to contain my Elemental Powers.]

The reason why Yu Zi Yu called them vessels was simply because Yu Zi Yu felt like he was quietly extracting ‘nutrients’ from these Children of the Elements. These nutrients were none other than their understanding, cognition, and realization of the Elements.

Of course, this posed no disadvantages for the Children of the Elements; to a greater extent, it was mutually beneficial.

While Yu Zi Yu granted them power, when they grew stronger, they also reciprocated for Yu Zi Yu.

[If… you don’t betray me, I also promise never to treat you as nutrients, let alone devour you…] Murmuring in his heart, Yu Zi Yu turned his gaze away.

He was not planning on proclaiming this to these Children of the Elements, rather if he mentioned this to them, it would only cause them to feel uneasy. So, he decided to remain silent.

[Next…] Staring blankly at the two Elemental Fruits in his hand, Yu Zi Yu began to consider their new owners.

After all, the greatest value of these Elemental Fruits lay in finding a suitable owner to help Yu Zi Yu develop his Elemental Powers.
