Peerless Prodigies, they were prodigies among prodigies. Every single one of them was a true monstrous genius.

Under normal circumstances, even the most top-tier Force would only have a handful.

Or perhaps, not even one.

Take the Angel Clan, for instance—At present, the only one recognized as a Peerless Prodigy was none other than the female Angel King, Lan.

Rumor had it that her speed had reached such an extreme that even Tier-6s struggled to match it.

For a Tier-5 True God to possess a speed that could terrify even Tier-6 Overlords, she was undoubtedly worthy of the title Peerless.

As for the Elemental Clan, rumors spoke of an Elemental known as Zi Xiao, who, at Peak Tier-5, had exchanged dozens of blows with their clan’s Overlord, Lightning King, without suffering defeat.

Such a figure, too, was worthy of being called a Peerless Prodigy.

As for the Overlords who had already risen to power under the starry skies, Lightning King, Eternal Titan, Yu Zi Yu of Demon Court, Dream Dragon and Nether Dragon Serpent of the Dragon Clan, and others, they, too, had once been prodigies.

After all, to have grown to such heights, who among them had not been a prodigy in their adolescence?

It was just that their growth had been too rapid, extremely so, and due to their rare engagements in battle, no one could accurately rank them.

Thus, in today’s era, those who bore the title of Peerless Prodigy were mostly Tier-5s.

As for the true monsters of Tier-6, they had long since ascended to the ranks of rulers of the cosmos.

For them, the title of prodigy was no longer an honor—it was an insult.

However, one thing was certain, those who carried the title Peerless Prodigy were all true anomalies.

Take Golden Ant, for example: If he, at Tier-5, managed to truly slay a Tier-6, the very next day, his name would shake the myriad races.

He would become the undisputed strongest of Tier-5s.

And at that moment, challengers would come flooding in, more than he could count.

Some might even seek to emulate his feat.

After all, the gap between Tier-5s and Tier-6s was simply too vast, so much so that it was next to impossible for a Tier-5 to kill a Tier-6 in return.

However, for Golden Ant, it seemed entirely within reach.

At this moment, he was merely at Tier-5, Late-Stage, yet he already wielded the strength of a Half-Step Overlord.

Furthermore, there was still Tier-5 Peak and Half-Step Tier-6 lay ahead of him.

If Golden Ant stepped into Half-Step Tier-6, then he really might break the taboo.

And in this regard, it wasn’t just Black and White who was looking forward to it, even the others in the Society of Demons and Fiends awaited the moment.

White Tiger, Bull Demon, and others, they had always understood Golden Ant better than anyone.

They knew all too well just how terrifying he was. Back when he was just in Tier-2 and Tier-3, Little Fifth had already begun to reveal his potential.

Now, it was quite clear that his sharpness would be revealed very soon.

*Heh, heh…* With a grin, as if sensing Black and White’s thoughts, White Tiger glanced at Golden Ant and stated, “Little Fifth, it looks like Black and White has been waiting for you to challenge a Tier-6.”

“Uh…” Caught off guard, Black and White, also known as the Tree of Good and Evil, could only shake his head helplessly.

He had merely drunk a few rounds with White Tiger and casually discussed Golden Ant. He hadn’t really thought that White Tiger would remember this.

“Kill a Tier-6…” Golden Ant, seated in meditation, couldn’t help but murmur to himself, the corner of his mouth curving up slightly.

Right now, it was indeed possible.

Though he possessed fearsome ability, Strength Boost, the only thing preventing him from unleashing its full power was his Physique.

Strength Boost — An ability that can continuously amplify his strength. And based on this, it could be divided further into stages, First Stage, Second Stage, Third Stage, and so on and so forth. Every stage doubled the user’s strength. The only thing limiting its user was the user’s physical endurance.
That time, when he lifted an entire continent and smashed it onto the Tier-6 battlefield, it was because Golden Ant had amplified his strength five times, reaching an unprecedented Fifth Stage.

Golden Ant’s strength was already terrifying, to the point that among those of the same tier, he was an undisputed king.

And with his strength boosted five times, it was no wonder he could shoulder the stars, bear the moon, and even grievously wound Tier-6 combatants.

However, that was not all.

The Minor Divine Ability—Three Heads and Six Arms—also provided great assistance to him.

It wasn’t merely a battle-oriented ability; it was also an ability for refining the physical body.

And now, after just a few years of cultivation, Golden Ant could already tell that his body had been tempered to a whole new level.

This was the key reason why he was able to boost his power five times.

‘Next time, once I step into Tier-5 Peak, if I can boost my power five times, I should be able to unleash a punch even a Tier-6 won’t be able to withstand…’ With this thought lingering in his mind, Golden Ant once again shut his eyes, choosing to settle and refine his power.

He did not have much time left. With Yu Zi Yu having entered secluded cultivation, both Demon Court and the Society of Demons and Fiends were lacking Tier-6 powerhouses to hold the fort.

If he could attain Tier-6 combat power, it would be an immense boost to both the Society of Demons and Fiends and Demon Court.

Thus, cultivation was imperative.

Ideally, he needed to cultivate Three Heads and Six Arms to the Advance-Level.

At that point, his physical body would likely be further strengthened, allowing him to boost his power six times.

6th Stage Strength Boost, paired with Three Heads and Six Arms, Golden Ant was confident that even a regular Tier-6 Overlord would be obliterated by his fists.

…

At this moment, it was not just Golden Ant.

Even the other powerhouses of the Society of Demons and Fiends, upon receiving news from Demon Court, felt a mounting sense of urgency.

This was also why White Tiger constantly ventured out, seeking battles against the Heavenly Court’s powerhouses.

He was not one to sit still and cultivate. His cultivation was battle itself. Each battle would push his strength further.

And he wasn’t the only one.

Many powerhouses of the Society of Demons and Fiends had adopted the same approach.

Take Dark King, for instance: This Neo Human, who had evolved from a Gorilla, was also born for battle. Every time he suffered serious injuries, once he recovered, his strength would rise again.

And then there was Flathead, the Honey Badger, a warrior who walked the Dao of Battle.

“Whatever doesn’t kill him only makes him stronger.”

These three, had now formed a team.

They had even stormed into the Heavenly Court’s territories on Blood Demon Planet, seeking out strong opponents to fight.

If not for the presence of the Heavenly Court’s two Ancient Overlords, the three of them might have slaughtered their way in and out several times over.

Even so, the Heavenly Court was thrown into utter chaos because of this ‘Battle Maniac Trio.’

At one point, they were all ranked among the top five on the Heavenly Court’s Black Roster.

As for Rank #1? That title naturally belonged to the Void Emperor, Zi Lian.

And Rank #2? It was none other than Golden Ant, the one who had slain multiple Constellations.

It was worth mentioning that the Heavenly Court’s Black Roster had somehow become the Society of Demons and Fiends’ Honor List.

Each powerhouse regarded their name on the list as a badge of honor.
