Beneath the towering crystalline tree that looked like it was made of ice crystals, a hill-sized colossal Sarcosuchus lay prostrate on the ground.

However, the current Sarcosuchus was significantly different from before.

His dense and robust muscles resembled Coiling Dragons. Just a mere glance gave off a sense of horrible power.

Yet, this was not the most crucial aspect.

The most significant thing was that the current Sarcosuchus possessed a streamlined physique. Compared to his previous bulky figure, the present Sarcosuchus appeared more robust and powerful.

If it weren’t for the fact that he lacked Dragon-like wings and his head did not resemble a Dragon’s head, just based on pure physique, the current Sarcosuchus might evoke thoughts of the legendary Dragon from the myths and legends—a creature known for its calamitous might.

Its power was not something that ordinary people could even imagine.

And the shadow of such a powerful creature could actually be seen in Sarcosuchus, albeit just a bit.

What could this signify?

If it were merely about physique, Yu Zi Yu would not have associated Sarcosuchus with Dragons.

The key was that the current Sarcosuchus’ head featured well-defined facial features, appearing more in depth and dignified. It radiated a proud and imposing aura, giving it some resemblance to a Dragon’s head.

“Could this guy be evolving toward a Dragon?” Yu Zi Yu pondered, feeling a bit skeptical.

If it were a large Lizard evolving into a Dragon, he could accept it. After all, Dragons were often derogatorily referred to as Winged-Lizards in a somewhat malicious manner. From that, it was understandable that there might be some connection between Lizards and Dragons.

In this Era of Transcendence where everyone and everything was evolving, a large Lizard evolving into a Dragon would not surprise Yu Zi Yu.

However, Sarcosuchus was a Prehistoric Crocodile, one of the most ferocious predators of his time. His degree of ferocity was on a whole new level, bordering on brutality. Yet, he was evolving toward the direction of a Dragon!?

[Hmm….] Yu Zi Yu suppressed his doubts.

[Well, regardless of how he evolves, strength is the most crucial. And, the current Sarcosuchus does look pretty great too. As for strength, he’s much better than before, so much so that even his aura can’t be restrained, and it’s affecting the surroundings.]

*Huuuuu…* Amidst Sarcosuchus’ long deep breaths, accompanying a strong disgusting smell, a cold aura also began to spread.

Sarcosuchus, at this moment, had become a Tier-2 Transcendent. And not only did his strength and defense had increased significantly, but he had also gained a terrifying ability.

As Yu Zi Yu narrowed his eyes, a series of information entered his sight.

Bloodthirsty Tyrant—A formidable ability which grants Sarcosuchus an exponential increase in speed and strength as it grows more furious and its injuries worsened, until its body was dyed crimson. At which, Sarcosuchus will go on a rampage, experiencing comprehensive growth in all aspects of its body. Even its self-healing ability will be enhanced.

As Yu Zi Yu thoroughly went through this ability, a picture unfolded in Yu Zi Yu’s mind, a terrifying scene of a beast bathed in blood, rampaging and staining the entire battlefield with red.

“It really is a terrifying ability tailor-made for Sarcosuchus.” Sighing, Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.

Awakening such an ability would truly make Sarcosuchus extremely terrifying. On a battlefield, he would become calamitous.

“But I like it.” The corner of Yu Zi Yu’s lips rose into a smile, feeling a bit satisfied.

The stronger Sarcosuchus became, the happier he, as the Master, would be. Moreover, this ability not only enhanced combat power but also had life-saving potential, enough to make Sarcosuchus turn the tables in the face of life-threatening situations.

Such an ability did evoke a certain envy.

At this moment, as if noticing something, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze shifted to a figure standing not far away, resembling a statue.

Qing Gang, the Elemental Commander under Yu Zi Yu’s command.

He too had just become a Tier-2 Transcendent.

Compared to the explosive growth in strength displayed by Sarcosuchus, he leaned more towards defense.

Currently, even Yu Zi Yu could not quite grasp Qing Gang’s aura at a glance.

At this moment, as if sensing Yu Zi Yu’s gaze, Qing Gang suddenly grinned and stated, “Master, let me show you my current strength…”

Saying this, he took a deep breath, looking towards the distant glacier.

After a moment, his pupils contracted…

“Arise,” a thunderous roar emerged from his lips.

At the same time, the ground started shaking continuously. Immediately after, a wall of earth rose from the ground…

One meter…

Two meters…

…

In just a few breaths, a towering wall of earth over 20 m tall had surrounded the entire arctic island.

Though the arctic island was not large, this large-scale move that enclosed the entire island made many Mutant Beasts uneasy.

Even Nine Tails, perched on a treetop, narrowed her eyes.

“As expected, Elemental Lifeforms excels in large-scale control.” A light chuckle escaped Nine Tails’ lips as she shook her head in resignation.

Even as a veteran Tier-2 Transcendent, she found it challenging to execute such a widespread move. Moreover, judging by Qing Gang’s current state, apart from slightly rapid breathing, everything else seemed normal.

*Tch…* Clucking her tongue, Nine Tails decisively chose to close her eyes.

She believed that it was better for her to not witness this kind of thing as much as possible. After all, Elemental Lifeform indeed had an unparalleled advantage in controlling the elements.

Meanwhile…

*Haaaa…* Adjusting his breathing, Qing Gang turned to Yu Zi Yu, and excitedly stated, “Master, look at how amazing I am. With just a thought, I can raise a towering wall that would take tens of thousands of Humans and several months to build.”

In a rare moment of pride, Qing Gang could not help but burst into laughter.

This was the Tier-2 Elemental Lifeform.

With just a flash of thought, just like the legendary mage, he could execute large-scale moves at will.

If he was not constrained by the limits of his Spiritual Energy and stamina, Qing Gang would not be afraid of challenging the entire China single-handedly.

Of course, it was currently impossible.

With his current reserves of Spiritual Energy and stamina, he would be completely drained just after unleashing this kind of moves a couple of times.

“Not bad.” Nodding, Yu Zi Yu looked at the towering walls around him and expressed some admiration.

While others could not discern it, Yu Zi Yu could tell that Qing Gang had also used his abilities to reinforce the walls at a glance.

These walls were more formidable in defense than the ones made by Humans, likely sturdier by a whole level or two. 

And yet, there were more.

The most frightening aspect of these walls was that they were closely tied to Qing Gang. As long as Qing Gang did not run out of his Spiritual Energy, the walls would not collapse.

In other words, Qing Gang alone was more than enough to guard an area.

Such power was not something an ordinary Tier-2 Transcendent could possess.
