[This little guy does indeed have the qualifications to be a member of Sentinels.] After a short chuckle, Yu Zi Yu no longer paid any attention to the Soaring Snake.

He had complete confidence in the Root-transformed Purple Python.

Furthermore, the Soaring Snake did not possess the most mysterious Spatial-Attribute and could not actually teleport.

Even if it did, so what?

The Purple Python, formed from Yu Zi Yu’s Roots, was not just about infinite extension… it also possessed terrifying perception and the speed to tear through space.

Everything about it destined the Purple Python, formed from Yu Zi Yu’s Roots, to be the most formidable hunter.

[The prey targeted by it might escape, but this little guy isn’t one of them. So…] After a brief glance, Yu Zi Yu calmed his mind and began to organize the harvests of the past few days.

“My Evolution Points have reached 4 billion, the Spiritual Energy reserves has increased in just a few months, and is boundless like a sea,” Yu Zi Yu muttered to himself, earnestly sensing the Spiritual Energy within him.

His endless Spiritual Energy continuously surged and gathered into a vast ocean that seemed to be stretched on infinitely.

At the center of this ocean of Spiritual Energy was a few Willow Leaves floating quietly like lone boats.

Each time a wave of Spiritual Energy rolled up, it washed away some of the impurities on the Willow Leaves, making them even more transparent.

This was Yu Zi Yu’s greatest trump card—the Flying Willow Leaf Blades.

One of these Flying Willow Leaf Blades had even been refined into a Sentient Artifact.

(Ashish: I’ll be using Sentient Artifact instead of Psychic Weapon from now on to preserve the meaning that it’s sentient. Previously I thought it was connected to mind and Soul, so I named it Psychic Weapon.)

If one looked closely at it, they would notice a massive Whale’s phantom around this blood-red yet crystal-clear Willo Leaf.

*Whoooaooaooaoo…* As if sensing Yu Zi Yu’s gaze, this Willow Leaf let out a long, lonely cry.

It was the Whale’s song, also an expression of joy.

“Come here.”

Just as Yu Zi Yu called out, a deafening rumble shook Yu Zi Yu’s tree body as a glowing blood-red Willow Leaf slowly rose from Yu Zi Yu’s massive form.

However, just as this Willow Leaf rose, it sent ripples through space.

Soon afterward, much to the horror of the Mutant Beasts, cracks began to appear in space.

This was caused by the Sharp Aura which had become tangible. So, even without releasing any killing intent, it was still too much for space to bear. In other words, this was the invisible aura emitted by this weapon alone.

Looking up, one could see that within a hundred-meter radius centered on this Willow Leaf, the space was filled with cracks.

The Sharp Aura seemed to pierce the Soul, causing even Nine Tails to tremble slightly.

Not only Nine Tails, but even Bull Demon, White Tiger, Golden Ant, Little Tenth…all Natural Disaster-Class Transcendents under Yu Zi Yu’s command lowered their heads in unison, their faces showing evident reverence towards the glowing red Willow Leaf that even space could not bear.

“Little guy, you really are restless.” As Yu Zi Yu gave a playful remark to the Sentient Artifact, a smile flickered in the depths of Yu Zi Yu’s eyes.

It was hard to gauge loyalty, but it could be reinforced over time.

Like now, Yu Zi Yu brought out this Sentient Artifact, making it clear to many Mutant Beasts that until they had means to resist Yu Zi Yu’s Sentient Artifact, they had to stay in line.

Of course, Yu Zi Yu did not mind them having their own plans and thoughts, for example, developing their Clans, forming alliances…However, Yu Zi Yu would never, ever tolerate betrayal.

Not just actions, but even the thought of betraying was not allowed to exist.

Thus, Yu Zi Yu’s reinforcement was particularly important.

In this extraordinary world, strength was ultimately paramount.

…

“This Sentient Artifact can indeed be refined further. Additionally, the offensive method of the Flying Willow Leaf Blades must also be strengthened…” Muttering to himself, Yu Zi Yu promptly sprang into action.

His Spiritual Energy surged, shaking the vortex of Spiritual Energy blanketing the night sky above Yu Zi Yu’s main body.

Immediately afterward, with a shrill swishing sound, as if something was tearing through space, Yu Zi Yu’s blood-red Willow Leaf suddenly flew up, transforming into a streak of blood-red light.

Then, with a thunderous roar, the vast Spiritual Energy vortex deep in the night sky was torn apart, before the starry and moonlit night sky was revealed.

At this moment, if one were to look into the depths of the Spiritual Energy vortex, they would surely see the phantom of a giant whale, growing bigger and bigger.

*Whoooaooaooaoo…* An increasingly long cry reverberated through the sky as the patterns on the blood-red Willow Leaf began to flicker.

Yu Zi Yu was refining the blood-red Willow Leaf, using his vast Spiritual Energy.

However, this was only the beginning.

[System, use Evolution Points to upgrade the Willow Leaf Flying Knife.]

[Confirm.] Just as Yu Zi Yu gave the confirmation, he felt a tremor through his body and even his Soul.

Immediately after, Yu Zi Yu felt as if his Soul was being torn apart as an inexplicably Sharp Aura surged from the depths of Yu Zi Yu’s Soul.

This was sharpness, the true sharpness, almost like a fundamental force akin to Principles, the Dao, or even the Quintessence.

For some reason, an understanding arose in Yu Zi Yu’s heart.

Now, if one were to look at Yu Zi Yu’s status screen, they would witness the description of the Willow Leaf Flying Knife changing.

Looking closely at the description, Yu Zi Yu could not help but squint his eyes

Even the description was radiating an inexplicably Sharp Aura.

This was the Tier-5 Willow Leaf Flying Knife, no, more accurately, it should be called — Heaven-Slashing Flying Blade.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Yu Zi Yu finally read through the description.

Heaven-Slashing Flying Blade — Somehow managed to raise a trace of Principle, even if it’s just a trace, the sharpness of the flying blade has increased from several to dozens of times… If it’s cultivated to the extreme, fully comprehended the Dao of Sharpness, ordinary beings wouldn’t stand a chance; even Hegemons (Tier-7s) and Eternal Realm Experts (Tier-8) would be ripped by its sharpness. (Dao of Sharpness — comprehension 1%)
Slowly withdrawing his gaze, Yu Zi Yu looked at the refined Willow Leaves within his body once more.

At this moment, there were not just three, but four, and including the blood-red Willow Leaf being refined in the Spiritual Energy vortex, there were a total of five Willow Leaves carrying Yu Zi Yu’s understanding of the Dao of Sharpness.

It was this Sharpness that could tear through everything, that could not be stopped by anyone.

Now, it could only cut through tangible things. However, if Yu Zi Yu’s understanding of the Dao of Sharpness deepened, he could even cut through intangible things like space, time, and causality.

However, such Sharpness was beyond the reach of even Tier-5 and Tier-6 Transcendents.

Currently, Yu Zi Yu’s pursuit leaned more towards cutting through reality, cutting through everything solid like a piece of paper.
