The Behemoth was a mythical creature from the Western Bible. It was a mythical creature in the truest sense. Even Yu Zi Yu hadn’t expected to encounter such a creature in the heart of the Australian wilderness.

However, after giving it a thought, Yu Zi Yu should not find it surprising.

If even Giant Dragons and Elemental Flood Dragons had appeared, what was so surprising about the appearance of such a creature?

After all, miracles were not limited to just Misty Mountains. Everyone had their own encounters, their own opportunities. In this Great Era of Evolution, everything was possible. As long as one was receiving some short of guidance, all creatures have the potential to become a ‘mythical creature.’

Moreover, the three consecutive Spiritual Energy Tides had accelerated the pace of evolution for all things. Not to mention, the Third Spiritual Energy Tide alone had accelerated the evolution of the entire universe by at least tens of millions of years…

*Haaaa…* Taking a deep breath, Yu Zi Yu cast a deep glance at the colossal creature slowly approaching in the distance.

Race: Black Iron Behemoth (Evolved from Ground Sloth)
Rank: Tier-4 Transcendent (Natural Disaster)

Innate Talent: 

Child of the Earth – Known as the ‘Child of the Earth,’ the Behemoth draws endless strength and inexhaustible stamina from the earth.  

Unique Abilities: 

Strength to Uproot Mountains – It possesses the horrible strength to uproot even a mountain. Even Dragons dare not vie with it on land.  

Berserk – The more severely it get injured, the more it loses its reasoning, until it completely disappears, turning into a true berserk.

Elemental Immunity – Even Elements fear mythical creatures; even at just Black Iron-Level, the Behemoth can resist seventy percent of Elemental Attacks. If it were the legendary Behemoth King, the Golden Behemoth, it would be absolutely immune to elemental attacks.  

Boundless Physique – Its formidable physique is terrifying compared to any known creature, possessing a true indestructible attribute that makes it difficult to cause harm.  

There were no more abilities listed, but what Yu Zi Yu saw was enough. He knew it was a Behemoth.

It didn’t need flashy abilities; just relying on its strength and formidable defense, it could crush everything.

And now, it was proving it with actions…

*Rooooaaar…* Furious roars reverberated through the world, only to see Behemoth in the distance, with its forelimbs on the ground, rushing towards the desert like a gorilla.

*Thump, thump…* Intense vibrations shook the earth.

“I’ll handle this.” Suddenly, a voice rang out as Nine Tails in the distant sky mobilized her Spiritual Energy.

*Booooom!* Amidst a roar akin to a tsunami, a wave of flames, hundreds of meters wide, swelled and started rolling forward before transforming into two towering fire tornadoes. They rushed towards the colossal creature in the distance.

*Roooaar….* With another furious roar, the distant shadow momentarily paused. Much to the astonishment of Nine Tail, it started dashing forward again, charging through the two fire tornadoes.

“What’s going on?” Perplexed, Nine Tails turned to Bull Demon beside her.

“This guy seems a bit strange.”  In contemplation, Bull Demon looked at the approaching shadow, his eyes flickering.

[Even an ordinary Tier-4 wouldn’t dare to take Elder Sister’s flames head-on, yet this guy can actually ignore it! Those flames can melt through mountains, yet it ignores them like nothing. Except for some wisps on its gray iron-colored fur, this guy is totally unscathed. In this regard, this guy is on par with Old Ninth and Fourth Brother. But, Old Ninth has a high resistance to Elements, and Fourth Brother, as a Rock Dragon, has immunity to the Earth Element. So… what about this guy?]

With a skeptical look, Bull Demon turned to the nearby Golden Monkey.

“I don’t have anything either…” Rarely giving his opinion, Golden Monkey’s face also grew slightly solemn.

Creatures that could resist Elemental attacks were few and far between, but each one of them stood at the top of the food chain. Each and everyone of them was the most terrifying existence.

Yet, one had appeared here.

Right at that very moment…

*Rooooaar…* Amidst another deafening roar, the Mutant Beasts witnessed the distant colossal creature grabbing a large boulder, a dozen or so meters wide, with just one hand, its claws digging deeply into the boulder.

The next moment, it fiercely threw it towards the sky.

*Booooom…* A deafening clap suddenly reverberated through the desert as the boulder created a sonic boom, hurtling towards them like a meteor.

At the sight of this, the corner of Nine Tails’ eyes could not help but twitch.

“It can actually throw something that fast one to two kilometers away. Its strength is not any inferior to Fifth Brother,” muttering to herself, Nine Tails made a decision.

Immediately, countless waves of flames swirled over, gathering into a fire pillar several meters thick, striking the boulder.

Amidst a thunderous clash, the boulder held out for only a few breaths before melting under the extreme heat.

Right at that very moment…

*Rooooaar…* A Dragon Roar reverberated as a blue ice beam shot toward Behemoth from the distant sky.

Little White had also taken action, breathing an endless stream of cold that could freeze everything in its path.

*Crack, crack, crack…* Amidst the continuous crackling sounds, the distant Behemoth, several hundred meters tall, slowly froze into an ice sculpture.

And along with this, several kilometers of desert was also frozen. Frigid cold wind started blowing through the desert.

“Did it work?” Squinting her eyes slightly, Nine Tails looked at Behemoth.

Just moments later…

*Crack, crack, crack…* With cracking sounds, visible cracks appeared on the ice sculpture before a deafening clap resounded as shards of ice flew everywhere.

Accompanying this, the grey iron-colored Behemoth started charging forward once more.

Faintly, a fierce and explosive aura started blowing on everyone’s face.

“AS I had guessed, it’s immune to Elemental Attacks,” giving her confirmation, Little White’s voice echoed through the night sky.

*Haaaa…* Heaving a sigh in resignation, Nine Tails shifted her gaze towards the eager Golden Ant, and the distant mountainous form of Sarcosuchus. Then, she straightforwardly stated, “I’ll leave this big guy to you.”

With that, Nine Tails, Little White, and other Mutant Beasts wisely retreated.

They were not fools.

Against a monster clearly resistant to their Abilities, they would not fight it head-on if need be.

Besides, Misty Mountains wasn’t lacking ‘close combat champions’. Not to mention Golden Ant’s fearsome strength, Sarcoscuchus, known as the Flesh Crocodile, with his Rock Dragon-like formidable defense, was a close-combat meat grinder that could handle such monsters.
