*Crunch, crunch…* Amidst hair-raising crunching sounds, every Mutant Beast gawked at the nearby Purple Mantis devouring a large piece of White Flood Dragon flesh, greedily devouring with blood dripping down his mandibles.

Compared to the other Mutant Beasts, who were chewing slowly and steadily, Zi Lian’s method of devouring was truly unique.

More terrifyingly, each Mutant Beast could keenly feel Zi Lian’s aura growing more terrifying with every bite. Even the faint purple glow emanating from his scythes was intensifying.

“What a monster!” Seemingly praising, Bull Demon, who was also eating the Flood Dragon flesh nearby, also looked at Zi Lian with amazement.

Zi Lian’s speed of evolution was truly awe-inspiring.

Although the flesh of a Tier-3 Flood Dragon was indeed a treasure, capable of causing lower-tier Mutant Beasts to mutate, the change wasn’t as obvious for them, who were already Tier-3 Transcendents.

However, watching the aura of Zi Lian growing continuously at a pace visible to the naked eye, not only Bull Demon but also the rest of the Mutant Beasts, including Nine Tails, were momentarily dumbstruck.

“This is Zi Lian, a monster who is about to shock the entire world,” Yu Zi Yu also gave a word of praise, pausing the dissection of White Flood Dragon for the moment.

Not only did Nine Tails and others marvel at Zi Lian’s evolution speed, but even he himself was amazed.

Three days ago, he was only at the Realm of Marquis.

Yet now, after devouring a small piece of Flood Dragon flesh, he had stepped into the Realm of Monarch.

“Uhhh…” A myriad of thoughts rushed through Yu Zi Yu’s mind and his eyes flickered with a strange gleam as he looked at Zi Lian.

However, after a moment, as if thinking something, Yu Zi Yu’s root coiled around half of the Flood Dragon’s tail, which happened to be more than 10 meters long, and threw it towards Zi Lian.

Yu Zi Yu had thoroughly analyzed this half of the tail, so it was of no use to him.

As for absorbing it as nutrients… Yu Zi Yu had given up on this notion after some thought.

Even if he absorbed the entire Flood Dragon’s carcass, it wouldn’t not help him improve much. He believed that it was better off being a feast for other Tier-3 Mutant Beasts, just like now.

At this moment…

“If one were to raise their gaze, they would be surprised to find dozens of Tier-3 Mutant Beasts sitting around Yu Zi Yu in circles, three rings inside and three rings outside, all feasting on the flesh of the Flood Dragon and drinking water from the Spirit Pond.

If Humans or other Mutant Beasts were to witness this sight, the extravagance of this scene would undoubtedly leave them dumbfounded.

What was of particular interest in this scene was the Tier-3 Mutant Beasts and their number.

With the corner of his lips rising into a smile, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze swept over them one by one.

Apart from Little Fifth, Golden Ant, who was absent, all other Great Beasts were present. Moreover, each of them had stepped into Tier-3, including Little Tenth.

In terms of combat power alone, Nine Tails, Sarcosuchus, Brewmaster, and Little Tenth were all at the Realm of Kings.

However, considering the means and the terrifying foundation of these four, it would not be impossible for them to evenly fight a Tier-3 Sovereign.

How many Mutant Beasts at the Realm of Sovereign were there on the entire continent?

There were less than a handful, among which the Steel Progenitor had already been killed by Yu Zi Yu, and even its Elemental Heart was plundered by him.

Whereas Bull Demon, White Tiger, Thorns, Titan, and even Tunda were all at the Realm of Monarch. 

Among them, Titan and Tundra, as Atavistic Behemoths, were particularly terrifying. With over 100 meters in height, each of them resembled a small hill, easily overshadowing the sky.

The power of Atavistic Mutant Beasts was perfectly displayed by them. It wasn’t just their individual combat power, they had an invincible presence that could easily dominate the entire battlefield.

In addition to these Great Beasts, the three War Generals: Golden Monkey, Honey Badger, and Armored Wild Boar. They have all also successively stepped into Tier-3.

As for their specific combat power, Yu Zi Yu paid no attention to it.

However, considering the unfathomable Golden Monkey, Yu Zi Yu believed that their combat power wouldn’t be weak either.

Thinking of this, Yu Zi Yu cast a deep glance at the spirited Golden Monkey sitting in a corner not far away. 

Unlike before, he no longer stooped and stood tall like a Human, appearing more majestic. 

He carried a long stick, slung on his back. His gaze was calm and serene, yet carrying an indescribable meaning.

He seemed to be lost in thought, or perhaps waiting for something.

At this moment, as if sensing Yu Zi Yu’s gaze, Golden Monkey grinned, beckoning with his right hand before a wine jug appeared in his hand.

“Master, a toast to you.” With that, Golden Monkey emptied the jug of Spirit Wine in one gulp.

“Cheers!” Nodding his acknowledgment, Yu Zi Yu also burst into laughter.

However, this seemed to be a signal.

The moment Golden Monkey was finished with his toast, powerful members of the Chimpanzee Clan, the Polar Bear Clan, and the Tiger Clan, each stood out from their respective groups and raised their cups to Yu Zi Yu.

Each of them were powerful Tier-3 Transcendents.

As Misty Mountains’ strongest clan, the Chimpanzee Clan had a total of three Tier-3 King Kongs.

As for the Polar Bear Clan, apart from their King, Giant Lightning Bear, they also a Giant Berserk Bear, both of whom possessed formidable strength.

As for the Tiger Clan, there was no need for further explanation.

Apart from the Tier-3 White Tiger, the strength of Shadow Tiger was no joke. 

In terms of combat power alone, Shadow Tiger was ranked among the top in Misty Mountains.

Yet this wasn’t the complete strength of Misty Mountains.

There were also Human-Faced Beast and Human-Faced Spider guarding the Abyssal Prison, as well as Golden Butterfly dwelling in the Hundred Flowers Valley. There was also Snake Queen who liked guarding the desert

Of course, there were a few more in other Clans as well.

For example, Lightning Rat, who had joined Misty Mountain just recently, and Snow Leopard of the Snow Leopard Clan, both of them had also stepped into Tier-3.

In addition, Liu Zi Yan of the six Knights of Mist had also stepped into Tier-3.

As for the Elemental Generals like Qing Gang and Little White, there was no need to mention them.

In the sky, an Inferno Bird and two Peregrine Falcons had also stepped into Tier-3.

Aurora could also not be forgotten, who happened to be one of the few Tier-3 Kings in Misty Mountains.

Yu Zi Yu even suspected that she could even contend with Tier-3 Sovereigns. After all, her Innate Talent of freezing time — Instant, was not to be underestimated.

*Hmmm…* Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but nod in marvel, his eyes flickering with radiant splendor as he gazed at the many Mutant Beasts.

“If all these fellows were to exit Misty Mountains, they could dominate the continent.” Chuckling, Yu Zi Yu was filled with anticipation.

As for why he was looking forward to it, it was because, after today’s Dragon Feast, Yu Zi Yu planned to issue a terrifying command.

This command would shake the continent, and even the entire world.

Thinking of this, Yu Zi Yu took a deep breath before finally speaking, “Everyone, it’s about time. Our Misty Mountains have been standing strong until now. It’s about time for us to truly step out.”

“This time, it’s completely different from a few days ago when we announced our return to the world. Our stepping out has a deeper purpose.” At this point, Yu Zi Yu’s voice turned cold, “We’ll be plundering, fighting, and expanding our influence to our heart’s content before the advent of the third round of Spiritual Energy Tide. Of course, the most important purpose of this venture is the hunt of myriad races. We’ll be setting an invincible reputation using the blood of others.”
