*Boom!* Suddenly, a thunderous rumble shook the depths of the starry sky.

Looking up, one could see Yu Zi Yu’s innumerable branches actually stretched high towards the sky. And a huge prehistoric crocodile, 100 meters long, thrashing about on one of the branches.

“Little Fourth, today, I will cleanse your Bloodline…If you can’t bear it, remember to call for help…” As he spoke, each of Yu Zi Yu’s branches fiercely vibrated, radiating divine brilliance like starlight.

This was the most mysterious Power of Life.

And now, with a thunderous crack, one of Yu Zi Yu’s branches whipped through the starry sky, fiercely lashing at Sarcosuchus.

*Grrrrrrr…* A resonant beastly roar escaped Sarcosuchus as his entire body shuddered. Upon closer inspection, a long, gaping wound could be seen on his body, exposing the bone beneath.

At the same time, pain, an unimaginable pain, instantly flooded Sarcosuchus’ mind.

Even though Yu Zi Yu, a Tier-6 Transcendent, held back, such a strike was still far beyond what the Tier-4 Sarcosuchus could withstand.

As a result, under the sympathetic gaze of Nine Tails, Sarcosuchus’ body convulsed uncontrollably…

However, this was only the beginning, just the beginning.

*Crack, crack, crack…* One after another, dozens of Yu Zi Yu’s branches lit up with starlight, viciously lashing at Sarcosuchus.

Even someone as resilient as Sarcosuchus could not help but gnash his teeth, letting out painful growls.

In just a short while, Sarcosuchus’ entire body was covered in blood.

At a glance, it looked terrifying, yet also pitiful.

“M-Master…” Unable to bear to watch, Nine Tails’ worried voice came from afar.

“It’s fine…” Yu Zi Yu waved his branch dismissively, his expression remaining icy.

Yet, if one looked closely, the usually calm and placid depths of his eyes, like an undisturbed lake, now showed rare ripples.

At this moment, while Sarcosuchus may appear miserable, with each strike from Yu Zi Yu’s branches, a faint starlight flowed into his body. This was Vitality, originating from Azure Dragon, which could regrow flesh from bare bones, and even bring the dead back to life.

If not for this continuous infusion of Vitality, Sarcosuchus would not have survived even the third lash from Yu Zi Yu.

[Little Fourth, the pain you endure now will be repaid tenfold.] silently reassuring himself, Yu Zi Yu increased the intensity of his strikes once again.

*Crack…* Suddenly, an even greater pain surged through Sarcosuchus, causing him to let out a sorrowful wail.

*Rooooar…* A heart-wrenching cry echoed through the starry sky, carrying an indescribable resolve.

…

There was no true concept of night or day in the starry sky.

However, amidst the revolving stars and planets, several days and nights passed.

Now, if one were to gaze at a corner of the starry sky…

They would see a massive golden creature, resembling a Crocodile, quietly floating in space, unmoving.

The short, thick limbs remained unchanged, as they always had. However, Sarcosuchus’ entire body was now covered in golden scales, resembling those of a Dragon. His eyes, too, had transformed—now like Dragon Eyes, exuding a coldness that carried the eternal stillness of the starry sky.

*Swish…* With a swishing sound, one of Yu Zi Yu’s branches, resembling a divine chain, tore through the starry sky, descending upon the Golden Crocodile.

*Boom…* A terrifying explosion echoed as the Golden Crocodile’s body shuddered violently. Upon closer inspection, sparks could be seen flying.

Those scales were Dragon Scales, layered upon each other, forming a formidable defense that even Yu Zi Yu’s branch could not penetrate.

However, that was not the most terrifying part…

What was truly horrifying was that despite enduring such a heavy blow, Sarcosuchus’ eyes remained icy and emotionless, as if they had lost all feeling. They were filled with a grimness that seemed to rise from the depths of the underworld.

This was the current Sarcosuchus.

After countless lashes from Yu Zi Yu, the two powerful Bloodlines within him had finally merged, giving birth to a new Bloodline.

It carried the Dragon’s majesty and nobility, yet also retained the primal coldness of the beast.

Even Yu Zi Yu could not precisely describe it.

However, one thing was certain: Sarcosuchus was now incredibly strong.

*Rooooaar…* A thunderous beastly roar echoed through the starry sky, creating ripples all around.

Sarcosuchus’ massive golden tail, which occupied more than half of his body, suddenly swung up.

Swishing through the starry sky, leaving a golden trail, the massive golden tail smashed directly into Yu Zi Yu’s descending branch.

*Boooooom…* Another deafening explosion echoed, shaking the starry sky as golden and green shockwaves, evenly divided, swept across the thunderous expanse for thousands of kilometers.

“Not bad…” Yu Zi Yu muttered a faint compliment as another branch descended.

At that moment, as if sensing something, Sarcosuchus’ Golden Dragon Eyes suddenly focused. Almost instinctively, his massive golden tail lashed out once more.

*Booooom…* Another explosion followed, and an even more terrifying force erupted at one point, unleashing a vast shockwave.

…

“His physical body is now comparable to that of a typical Tier-5 Transcendent…” Yu Zi Yu noted in a satisfied voice, gazing at the 100-meter-long Sarcosuchus in the distance, his eyes narrowing.

In that moment, countless golden texts appeared before Yu Zi Yu’s eyes.

Race: Prehistoric Sarcosuchus (Ancestor of Crocodiles / Dragon Crocodile)
Rank: Rank: Tier-4 (Physical Body at Tier-5)

Innate Talent: Atavism — Continuously traces back to ancient glory, awakening the primal instinct of a top predator in the food chain. The angrier it gets, the more terrifying its power becomes, until instinct consumes reason, transforming it into a killing machine. After the Second Atavism, his body has undergone another evolution, growing stronger without being restricted by tiers. His speed and reflexes have also become more acute, as if a sixth sense has awakened, allowing Sarcosuchus to rely purely on instinct in battle.

Dragon Bloodline — The ancient bloodline of Dragons flows through his veins, noble and powerful, making him even more pure and majestic

Unique Abilities: 

Mastery of Earth — He regards the earth as nothing and can manipulate the Earth Element at will. He can even travel across the earth faster than flying.

Primal Instinct — His instincts are fully awakened, granting Sarcosuchus the highest level of battle awareness.

Muscle Movements — The muscles beneath the Dragon Scales are epitome of strength and power. Just a slight movement is enough to allow Sarcosuchus to unleash speed and power beyond comprehension.

Dragon Scales — The scales, akin to those of a Dragon, provide the strongest defense and are also a terrifying weapon. When raised, the scales can transform into blades capable of cutting through anything.

Berserk — The more Sarcosuchus fights, the stronger and fiercer he becomes. When his body is soaked in blood, his strength, speed, and reflexes undergo a qualitative transformation.
