In the Realm of Life, vast expanses of land were adorned with lush, verdant greenery, teeming with life.

Right at this moment…

“Have you finished your discussion?” Suddenly, a voice echoed throughout the entire Realm of Life.

Accompanying this voice, a sudden tremor suddenly surged from within the depths of the Realm of Life as a Gargantuan Tree abruptly shot up from the ground.

Its branches kept extending, while its trunk grew thicker and thicker. The entire tree grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just moments, a portion of Yu Zi Yu’s colossal form manifested within the Realm of Life, covering the size of an entire city.

“Master…”

“Divine Tree…”

One call after another reverberated, shaking the entire small world.

At the same time…

*Crackle…* A deafening thunderclap tore through the Small World as a bolt of silver-white lightning streaked across the sky.

*Roooooooaar…* The earth-shattering roar of a Tiger echoed as a violent storm swept through the Small World, scattering the clouds.

Little Tenth, White Tiger, and etc – one by one, formidable figures surged towards the heart of the Realm of Life.

Even Tyrannotitan, who had been in seclusion, as well as Tundra, made their appearances.

However, if one looked toward Tyrannotitan and Tundra now, they would undoubtedly notice the earth-shattering changes within them.

Though Tyrannotitan still looked as menacing as before, compared to the past, his body now appeared as if it were forged from steel, glowing with a dark, blackish luster. Even his pair of raised claws gleamed with a chilling light, like the edge of the sharpest of the blades.

His steel body, fused with the Steel Elemental Heart bestowed by Yu Zi Yu, had transformed his massive frame into the hardest of metals. However, the term ‘steel’ was not entirely accurate. A more fitting description would be ‘Divine Metal.’

Not long ago, after merging with the Steel Elemental Heart, Tyrannotitan immediately sought out and devoured one of the most precious metals in Misty Mountains.

That metal was a type of Divine Metal—Star Iron. Not only was it extremely hard, but it also possessed the indestructible attribute. It was incredibly difficult to destroy and one of the finest materials for crafting artifacts.

The most remarkable ability of the Steel Elemental Heart was its capacity to refine the characteristics of Divine Metals.

Thus, after refining the properties of Star Iron, Tyrannotitan gradually transitioned from a flesh-and-blood lifeform to a Metal Elemental.

What made Tyrannotitan most terrifying compared to other lifeforms was that parts of his body had already transitioned into Divine Metal—Star Iron.

If an attack from a Tier-4 Transcendent struck the section of his body that had transitioned into Star Iron, it would be doubtful whether it could even shake that part of his body, let alone break through his defenses.

What was even more fearsome, Tyrannotitan’s terrifying defense was now matched by equally formidable offensive power.

Metal Elementals, although they were somewhat clumsy, they were renowned for their dominance in both offense and defense.

And now, Tyrannotitan had essentially become a Dragon-shaped weapon!

*Thump, thump…* Each step he took shook the ground. Judging by his unsteady gait and heavy footsteps, he seemed to be still unaccustomed to the sudden increase in his weight.

Yet, a grin had long since spread across Tyrannotitan’s face, as if he were laughing.

“Master, I did not disappoint your expectations.” muttering, Tyrannotitan gazed towards the sky, where that Towering Tree had risen from the ground, filled with excitement.

…

On the other side, even though Tundra had mastered the Divine Ability—Enlarging and Shrinking at Will, his body still stood thousands of meters tall, moving slowly across valleys, one step at a time.

At this moment, if one approached this massive figure, they would surely hear a thunderous rumble, like the sound of rolling thunder.

*Boooom, boooom, boooom…* It sounded like a heartbeat, yet it was terrifying to the extreme.

This was the sound of the heart beating inside Tundra’s body, the heart that Yu Zi Yu had bestowed upon him—the Tree Heart.

As the fusion continued, the boundless vitality within the Tree Heart repeatedly elevated Tundra’s Physique.

Now, his heartbeat roared like thunder. The flow of his blood resembled the surging rivers.

It could be said that, among all flesh-and-blood beings, Tundra’s body had now become one of the most fearsome in existence.

This was also the biggest difference between Tundra and Tyrannotitan. One had forsaken flesh and blood, evolving into the most terrifying Dragon-shaped weapon. The other was evolving into the most powerful flesh-and-blood lifeform.

The divergence in their life forms also, to a certain extent, reflected the increasingly formidable foundation of Misty Mountains.

…

At this moment, seemingly sensing something, Yu Zi Yu lifted his gaze and curiously glanced at Tyrannotitan and Tundra.

[Fantastic, simply fantastic! They have exceeded my expectations. Tyrannotitan has mastered the ability to switch freely between a metallic lifeform and a flesh-and-blood lifeform, and has successfully extracted the characteristics of Divine Metal. Now, he has taken a step toward becoming a Demigod. And Tundra is no less impressive. Judging by his aura alone, he’s not in the least inferior to Tyrannotitan.]

“Two Tier-6 treasures have significantly boosted both Tyrannotitan and Tundra’s combat power and even their potential. This investment was definitely worth it.” Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but chuckle, appearing quite satisfied.

It was a solid investment. From his perspective, he could tell that both would definitely reach Tier-5, there was no question about it. In fact, they even had the potential to even ascend to Tier-6.

As such, Yu Zi Yu had indeed hit the jackpot with this investment.

[However…] As if recalling something, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze shifted to several other Mutant Beasts that had rushed over, each exuding a powerful aura.

One was a golden streak of light. Though its body stood only 1-2 meters tall, its presence was overwhelming.

Whenever it landed on the ground, a thunderous crash erupted, as if a million tons of force had landed, shaking the ground for kilometers and kilometers.

This was Little Fifth—Golden Ant, the embodiment of strength.

Even in his ordinary form, he possessed the combat power of a Demigod. Moreover, he had the terrifying ability to multiply his strength severalfold.

Currently, he could amplify his strength five times. There was no telling how astonishing his level of strength could reach.

In any case, even someone as strong and bellicose as Behemoth had no desire to take a punch from Golden Ant.

But besides Little Fifth, what made Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrow slightly was a graceful figure approaching slowly.

Everywhere she passed, blood-red Spirit Flowers bloomed in abundance, while dense thickets of thorns sprang up in her wake.

She walked alone, but it was as if she was dancing gracefully in a sea of blood.

This was Old Sixth, Thorns, also known as the Blood Queen.

She was utterly loyal to Yu Zi Yu. Moreover, she was the first woman Yu Zi Yu had ever met who made his heart race.

Perhaps it was because Thorns was a plant and Human hybrid, or maybe it was because she was too alluring and extremely forward in her approach. Whatever the reason, Yu Zi Yu admitted that he found it hard to resist her.

[This girl hasn’t neglected her cultivation, it seems.] With a light laugh, Yu Zi Yu examined Thorns with keen interest.
