“Advent of the Tree World!!”  a shout reverberated through the sky.

Immediately, the entire canyon quaked.

*Boom, boom, boom…* Accompanied by a terrifying roar, tree trunks, as thick as buckets, burst forth from the ground.

However, what was truly astonishing was that it was not just one or two trees but thousands upon thousands.

The deafening noise kept going to no end, and so did the quakes.

At this moment, it seemed as if the very earth was unable to bear the weight as vast swathes of land cracked and collapsed. 

At the same time, the trees turned into a vast and rising green torrent, rushing toward the sky. From a distance, it resembled an Azure Dragon soaring into the sky, giving the impression as if it could sweep through the worlds.

And at this point, the huge fireball in the sky had also arrived.

The next moment, a deafening roar reverberated across the sky, causing everything to fall silent.

Time seemed to have frozen in that instant.

In the astounded gazes of countless Mutant Beasts, two enormous shockwaves, one red and one green, streaked across the sky. In a flash, even the thick mist shrouding North Canyon was dissipated by the resulting winds and shockwaves.

Only the trees and the fireball seemed to be frozen in the sky.

However, at this moment, a light chuckle suddenly rang in the dumbfounded Panda’s ears, “Is this all you’ve got?”

The next moment, with a playful expression, Yu Zi Yu’s Spiritual Energy surged.

Then, much to the Panda’s disbelief, the endless torrent of trees slowly took the shape of a mouth.

Bit by bit…

Little by little…

It swallowed not only the Panda but the entire fireball.

“I…” Before the Panda could mount any response, a terrifying suction force emanated from all around him.

*Boom!* Accompanied by a deafening roar, the raging and blazing flames swirling around the Panda were completely extinguished. At the same time, the Panda also felt his own Spiritual Energy weaken.

It was as if he was being slowly devoured by an invisible force.

But the very next moment, before the Panda could react, he was thrown out, who crashed on the ground with a deafening boom.

…

At the same time, a cute and chubby black and white bear entered the eyes of many Mutant Beasts.

“Huh, did this chubby cutie stir up such a commotion?”

“Are you kidding me?”

Disbelief filled the air, even White Tiger was taken aback. However, before he could say anything more, a gentle voice suddenly echoed in the air, “Let’s welcome the first Tier-2 Transcendent guest of North Canyon.”

As the words fell, countless Mutant Beasts were momentarily taken aback.

[Tier-2 Transcendent!? Huh…]

The Mutant Beasts exchanged glances with each other, many found it hard to accept that this chubby, adorable little fellow was a Tier-2 Transcendent.

Right at this moment, the Panda stood up from the ground and shook off the dust from his body. When he noticed that many Mutant Beasts were in disbelief, a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes.

After a moment…

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a terrifying burst of Spiritual Energy suddenly erupted from him as his black-and-white fur bristled along with the surge.

For a moment, an oppressing pressure came bearing down on the entire North Canyon.

It was quite a terrifying pressure.

The indescribable oppression could not be conveyed in words alone.

At this moment, Yu Zi Yu focused his gaze toward the Panda slightly, before a series of information flooded into his mind one after another.

Race: Panda

Innate Talent: Devourer—It can continuously strengthen its own body by consuming minerals. And those with exceptional talents can directly devour Spirit Stones, stealing their essence. 

Unique Abilities: Fire Breath—Endless Fire-Attribute Spiritual Energy is surging within its body, so much so that even its breath can create a wave of heat that engulfs its enemies.

Immense Strength—It possesses strength to crush anything, even Mutant Beasts with strong defenses cannot withstand it.

Fire Resistance—Long term consumption of Fire-Attribute Spirit Stones had made it significantly immune to Fire Element attacks.

Petrification—Long term consumption of minerals have granted it to make its body hard like stone, creating a rock-hard armor, which can resist most Earth Element attacks.

Grand Fireball—It’s able to channel the power of flames within its body to transform into a scorching ball of fire that devours anything and everything

After examining the Panda’s status screen with scrutiny, Yu Zi Yu could not help but fall silent. One could only say that he truly lived up to being a Tier-2 Transcendent Mutant Beast. His terrifying abilities far exceeded those of ordinary Mutant Beasts.

Leaving aside the rest, just his Innate Talent ‘Devourer’ and his additional ability spoke volumes.

The ability to gain resistance and even immunity by continuously consuming a certain substance was terrifying in itself.

In other words, if the Panda devoured large quantities of Spirit Stones of different attributes, he could gain immunity to most Elemental attacks.

If the Panda was fortunate enough to find rare Spirit Stones of light, darkness, lightning , and other attributes, he could achieve true ‘Elemental Immunity.’

At that time, this fellow would become a true monster.

Even if he just stood in his place, most Mutant Beasts would find it difficult to harm him. Not to mention his Innate Talent ‘Devourer,’ which enhanced the Panda’s physical defense by consuming minerals.

“Hmm…” Yu Zi Yu felt like he had just seen an indestructible monster.

No, not indestructible.

But a monster whose defense could not even be breached.

And this was without considering whether this Panda would evolve any recovery abilities in the future during his long evolution.

If he developed such an ability, and even more luckily acquired a life-saving ability during evolution…

It could even be said that a tank among tanks, and a meat shield among meat shields was about to be born.

What was even more terrifying was that this monster with invincible defense also possessed astonishing destructive power.

Thinking of this, Yu Zi Yu could not help but remember the spectacle created by the Panda when he unleashed the Grand Fireball just now.

“Just with Fire-Attribute Spiritual Energy, he’s able to manifest such a terrifying ability as the Grand Fireball. If he integrates Spiritual Energies of multiple attributes, his strength…” Smacking his lips, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze toward the Panda became a bit fiery.

A powerful creature like him could not be allowed to escape. His potential was more than just terrifying. If he had a good opportunity, he might even have a chance to grow to a point where even Yu Zi Yu had to be wary of him.

And this was by no means an exaggeration.

It was all because, on this peculiar Panda, Yu Zi Yu saw a potential, a potential that could be called fearsome.
