Behemoths, renowned as the Terrestrial Kings, were a terrifying race capable of contending with Pure Blooded Dragons, even in the previous era. If not for their small numbers, their fame might have rivaled that of the Dragon Clan.

However, today, under the disbelieving gazes of countless powerful Transcendents, Behemoth—a creature of legend—had appeared once more, shaking everyone by taking the Golden Dragon King’s tail strike head-on.

“How is this possible?”

“Are you kidding me? How can anyone possess that kind of strength?”

“This guy is a monster…”

Exclamations followed one after another, with countless Dragons left dumbfounded. Even the corners of the distant Sarcosuchus and Lightning Dragon’s eyes could not help but twitch at the sight of this.

They had not just learned about Behemoth yesterday. They knew well how terrifying this creature was.

However, witnessing this monster withstand the savage and powerful tail strike of the Golden Dragon firsthand was a whole other thing. They could not help but exchange glances with each other.

Their glances carried a mix of helplessness and relief. Helplessness because Behemoth’s strength was truly terrifying. Relief because Behemoth was on their side.

At this moment…

“You…” The Golden Dragon King furrowed his brow slightly, a sense of foreboding rising within him as he gazed at the massive beast.

The Gold Dragons were renowned for their physical prowess and strength. To say the least, that tail strike could have shattered mountains and torn apart the sea. Yet…

Without saying another word, the Golden Dragon King suddenly flicked his tail again.

However, in an instant, his expression changed drastically, for at that moment, he felt an immense counterforce surging back through his tails.

“My turn…” With a grin that carried a touch of malice and savagery, Behemoth suppressed the churning in his chest and exerted all his strength.

*Booooooom…* With a deafening roar, the Golden Dragon King’s colossal body, around a hundred metre long, was uncontrollably lifted into the air, to the shock and dismay of countless Dragons.

“You…” Burning with fury, a furious Dragon Roar thundered across the sky.

However, before the Golden Dragon King could do anything else, Behemoth planted one foot firmly on an island, like taking root, while bending the other leg at a 90-degree angle.

“Hahaha…” Behemoth’s laughter, filled with wild joy, resounded as he swung the Golden Dragon King like a whip.

An overwhelming Spiritual Energy surged from Behemoth, his silver fur dancing in the wind.

“Die!” Laughing even more heartily, Behemoth swung the Golden Dragon King and slammed him into an island.

A thunderous crash reverberated through the sky, as the entire island shattered into pieces, sending dust and debris flying into the sky.

Intense pain instantly surged through the Golden Dragon King’s entire body, leaving him disoriented. Pain, unimaginable pain overwhelmed his senses. However, it was not over yet, because his tail was still in Behemoth’s grip.

“Happy, so happy…” Laughing loudly, Behemoth lifted the Golden Dragon King once more and hurled him into the sea in another direction.

*Boooooom…* With another resounding crash, waves hundreds of meters high rose into the air. It seemed as if the entire sea was being torn apart.

Accompanying it was the Golden Dragon King’s furious and agonized roar.

*Roooooooaar…* A thunderous Dragon Roar reverberated across the world. At the same time, Golden Spiritual Energy ignited like flames from his body, causing even the sea to boil.

The Golden Dragon King was filled with rage, pure, unbridled rage. Being swung around like a toy by such a monster had completely enraged this Dragon King.

…

At that moment…

*Whoosh…* Like a meteor falling from the sky, a streak of nearly imperceptible starlight instantly pierced through the sky, descending in the depths of Dragon Island.

*Boooooooom…* The streak crashed in the deepest corner of Dragon Island, which resembled a small continent, with a thunderous crash.

Within the crater, numerous glowing branches could be seen gently swaying.

Soon afterward, an overwhelming Spiritual Energy surged inside the crater as a Willow Tree, vast and towering, rose from the ground.

Be that as it may, Yu Zi Yu had deliberately restrained his size, making himself only 200-300 meters tall. He believed that it was more than enough. After all, if he was too large, he would unnecessarily attract attention on the battlefield.

At this moment, Yu Zi Yu’s Forces were clearly gaining the upper hand,

The Dragon Clan, led by the three Dragon Kings, was being utterly overwhelmed by Yu Zi Yu’s Sentinels and Sarcosuchus, leaving them with no chance to fight back.

Even the most arrogant Golden Dragon King had underestimated Behemoth and paid the price. Challenging Behemoth head-on was nothing short of seeking death.

Even if it was a Giant Dragon, so what? Many Giant Dragons had been beaten to death by Behemoths in the previous era. And now…

Raising his gaze, Yu Zi Yu glanced at the Golden Dragon King, who was seething with fury, and chuckled softly, “Now you want to fight desperately? It’s already too late…”

Yu Zi Yu pitied the Golden Dragon King as he noticed a faint, ghostly light silently approaching the Golden Dragon King.

It was a serpent, an entirely black serpent surrounded by an eerie glow.

It was the mysterious Little Snake that had recently joined Yu Zi Yu’s fold when he conquered Africa.

Nurtured carefully by Yu Zi Yu, she had already reached the intermediate level of Tier-4. Though her combat power was not her primary strength, her poison was absolutely terrifying.

In fact, unless a fellow Tier-4 Transcendent had special means to counteract it, they would either be severely weakened or possibly even get killed by her venom.

Now, as a member of Yu Zi Yu’s Sentinel, Little Snake was stealthily moving towards the Golden Dragon King.

She opened her jaws, revealing a pair of venomous fangs, faintly glowing with an eerie, blackish glow.

She was never one for head-to-head combat and worked in tandem with Behemoth. Unmatched in sheer power, Behemoth would take the brunt of the attack. Meanwhile, Little Snake would strike from the shadows while the enemy was entangled with Behemoth.

It was a simple but highly effective tactic. This duo was one of the few invincible pairs within Yu Zi Yu’s Sentinels.

In fact, though diverse, all of Yu Zi Yu’s Sentinels mostly operated in pairs. They chose their partners based on complementary strengths and weaknesses.

For example, Behemoth and Little Snake were a pair.

Then there was Slytherin—Yamata no Orochi, who had recently reached Tier-4, who was paired with Dream Beast.

Yamata no Orochi could devour fear, feeding on it, while the Dream Beast could invade dreams, weaving nightmares…

Another pair was the Redbeak Platypus and the new Sea Beast King—Leviathan.

One was like a volcano, with seemingly endless eruptions, unmatched in large-scale attacks. The other was a deep-sea monstrosity capable of overturning entire oceans…

Surprisingly, they made an excellent pair.
