Meanwhile, deep within a valley of Australia…

*Hmph…* With a cold snort, a huge and fierce Black Wyvern glanced coldly at a segment of seemingly purplish root emerging from the ground in the depths of the valley.

It was none other than Tree Monster, the Ruler of another continent.

In theory, Tree Monster should be one of his few friends in the whole world. After all, Black Wyvern still remembered the grace of saving his life.

If it weren’t for Yu Zi Yu instilling a lot of vitality into him, he wouldn’t have been able to survive that fierce battle.

Furthermore, Yu Zi Yu also chatted with him every now and then. As such, a very simple friendship had been formed between the two.

Occasionally, they would talk about their experiences and interesting stories from their respective continent.

Just now, Yu Zi Yu said to him, ‘I’m preparing a blood trial for my forces by attacking the entire continent…’

[How ruthless!?] Black Wyvern sneered in his heart, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. After all, it really was none of his business.

However, after a moment, as if thinking of something, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose slightly.

[I believe that he would be very interested in this.] As this thought crossed his mind, Black Wyvern flapped his wings and turned into a majestic black cloud, rushing towards the north of the continent.

…

After a long while, on a crimson peak with an inexplicably dark red hue, seemingly from bloodstains that had not yet dried, and pits dotting its entire surface…

If one looked closely at these bottomless pits, they would find skeletons at the bottom of each one, with bloodstains painting the ground around their edges like plum blossoms.

This was Supreme Peak, one of the most notorious Forbidden Zones in Australia. Here lived an extremely ferocious beast, an exceptionally terrifying and powerful beast. It stood at the pinnacle of Australia, bearing the name the Fifth Great Beast.

More importantly, it had even issued a challenge letter, inviting anyone who deemed themselves extraordinary in strength to challenge it.

However, they naturally had to bear the consequences of their actions.

It even promised substantial rewards for this, attracting a huge crowd of Mutant Beasts eager to satisfy their curiosity.

However, looking at the cold and lifeless figures lying on the ground, and the bottomless pits, all the Mutant Beasts would fall silent.

“It’s truly the most ferocious among ferocious beasts.” Accompanied by a deep and hoarse laughter, the clear blue sky suddenly darkened within a few breaths, with rolling dark clouds.

What was even more terrifying was that the appearance of the clouds was followed by a tremendous pressure bearing down on the entire world.

Just then…

*Boom!* Suddenly, a beam of light tore through the sky. It was fast, accurate, and fierce.

This punch alone scattered most of the dark clouds.

What made the corners of Black Wyvern’s mouth twitch even more was that when this beam of light brushed past his cheek, he felt a tingling sensation as if a storm of blades had passed by.

“You, you…” Coldly snorting, Black Wyvern, who had poked his head from the depths of the clouds, looked calmly at the golden figure sitting on the peak.

He was still the same, a small and petite figure covered in scales.

However, there was one thing that set him apart from before, it was the color of his scales, which no longer retained the same golden color.

Instead, they were dark golden, with a hint of bloody sheen, painting his body golden-red, which appeared inexplicably horrifying.

At this moment, in Black Wyvern’s gaze, he saw a pair of extremely calm eyes gazing at him.

They were calm, yet profound.

However, at a closer look, one would notice an indescribable pressure deep in the eyes, a pressure that made even Black Dragon involuntarily wary.

“He has become even more terrifying when we first met,” marveling in his heart, Black Wyvern promptly sprang into action.

The corner of his mouth curved slightly as he calmly uttered two words, “Tree Monster!”

“What!?” the originally calm Golden Ant thunderously shouted as his figure fiercely shook.

Immediately afterward, the mountain peak exploded with a deafening clap as the Golden Ant instantly arrived in the depths of the clouds, leaving a dark golden streak of light.

“What did you say?” Asking in a voice so cold it seemed to freeze the Soul, the gaze of Golden Ant became even colder.

It appeared as if he would attack at the slightest disagreement.

However, it was not surprising either.

Tree Monster was Golden Ant’s taboo.

Moreover, Golden Ant was accustomed to calling Yu Zi Yu, Divine Tree.

So, if someone called Yu Zi Yu Tree Monster, they would inevitably invite his thunderous strike.

However, this Black Wyvern was an exception.

One reason was naturally that Black Wyvern was quite strong. As a Wyvern in the Realm of Sovereign, he possessed enough capital to make Golden Ant take him seriously.

Of course, it was only taking him seriously, nothing more nothing less. If they really happened to fight, Golden Ant was confident that he could shatter Black Wyvern’s scales and make him wail in agony.

Except, thanks to many enemies he had on this continent, Golden Ant couldn’t act right away.

Having been living on this unfamiliar and brutal continent for such a long time, he was no longer as immature as before.

A moment of bravery would indeed be commendable, but the consequences were something he couldn’t bear.

The second reason was that when Black Wyvern mentioned Tree Monster, although his tone was playful, there was a rare hint of respect in it.

It was a kind of respect for the strong, albeit faint, but Golden Ant still caught it.

So, Golden Ant didn’t act immediately.

“Hehe…” This rather elicited a bizarre smile on Black Wyvern’s face as he looked at the cold and aloof Golden Ant in amusement.

Meanwhile, if one looked towards the ground at this moment, they would surely see one cold and indifferent figure after another appearing on one mountain peak after another, a total of six figures.

And each of them happened to be staring coldly at Black Wyvern.

Led by Golden Ant, they were the Seven Fiends.

Everyone of the Six Fiends was a terrifying existence that had lost to Golden Ant and luckily managed to survive, thus choosing to submit to Golden Ant. Every single one of them was enough to set off chaos and bloody storms on the continent.

However, now, they all exist to protect Golden Ant.

…

Meanwhile, Black Wyvern promptly narrated his conversation with Yu Zi Yu to Golden Ant.

The reason for this was because Black Wyvern wanted to repay a debt.

He could naturally sense Yu Zi Yu’s reluctance to the bloody trial. However, since he wasn’t planning to act, he decided to let someone else do it.

After all, Golden Ant was Yu Zi Yu’s Fifth Great Beast. How could something as good as attacking the entire continent be done without him? While other parties might choose not to act, how could he not?

[Golden Ant’s growth over the past three years has been beyond anything. Even that Tree Monster couldn’t imagine how far this fiend he had raised has become.]
