Evolution From the Big Tree

Yu Zi Yu, placing the eighteen Hatchlings and five Dragon Eggs into the Lake of Vitality within the Pocket of Life for nurturing, did not remain idle. He still had many tasks at hand that needed his attention.

For instance…

*Boom, boom…*

Accompanied by a surge in Spiritual Energy, his roots continuously dug deeper into the ground, moving as swiftly as Earth Dragons.

At the same time, the Spirit Stone Mines buried in the depths of Dragon Island—the foundation of the island—began to tremble.

Soon after…

*Gulp, gulp…* As if devouring, Yu Zi Yu’s countless roots squirmed, ballooning and shrinking, as glow of various colors flowed through them.

At this point, there was no denying that the Dragon Clan was quite wealthy: Yu Zi Yu found super-large Spirit Stone Mines present in several locations.

Besides, one of these super-large mines happened to be an exceptionally rare Light-Attribute Spirit Stone Mine. With this particular Spirit Stone Mine, Yu Zi Yu’s Pocket of Light might expand several times over.

However, it did not end just there.

As Little Tenth—the Lightning Dragon had mentioned, the Dragon Clan indeed had a fondness for shiny things. Deep within Dragon Island, Yu Zi Yu discovered countless crystals.

These crystals were a concentrated form of Spiritual Energy, a unique product of the Mutant Beasts—also known as Magical Beasts—in this world.

Now, deep within Dragon Island, these crystals were piled up like mountains.  Some of them were so dazzling that they were hard to look at directly. These dazzling crystals were Tier-4 Magic Crystal—the most valuable items obtained by the Dragon Clan from hunting Tier-4 Magical Beasts.

In addition to these crystals, there were also some that emitted a faint Dragon Prestige. Yu Zi Yu reckoned that these Magic Crystals were the Dragon Crystals collected from fallen members of the Dragon Clan.

These Magic Crystals were extremely valuable, akin to important strategic resources.

Not only did they possess vast amounts of pure Spiritual Energy, the imprints of Heaven and Earth engraved within them, like Formations, were of immense interest to Yu Zi Yu.

“With these Tier-4 Magic Crystals and Dragon Crystals, my research on Formations might undergo a qualitative transformation. I might even develop Formations suitable for the Dao-Protecting Artifact—‘Radiant Galaxy’…” muttering to himself, a hint of excitement appeared on Yu Zi Yu’s face.

It was rare for him to show such emotion. However, now, seeing this many Magic Crystals of such level, Yu Zi Yu knew that the invasion of Dragon Island had truly paid off.

[The Giant Dragon Clan, known for their wealth that rivaled nations, is indeed unmatched in their ability to accumulate such treasures.]

*Heh heh…* Chuckling, Yu Zi Yu did not hold back. His deeply buried roots suddenly shot out, swiftly collecting all the Tier-3 and above Magic Crystals.

As for Tier-2 and lower Magic Crystals, they were of no use to him. So, he did not feel the need to collect them.

…

After round after round of plundering, Dragon Island was practically stripped bare to its core. Spirit Stone Mines and crystals were just the beginning. Even the hides of Tier-3 and Tier-4 Magical Beasts, rich in Spiritual Energy, as well as the Spirit Flowers and Fruits unique to Dragon Island, were not spared by Yu Zi Yu.

At this moment, if one looked around, they would see countless roots emerging from the ground, slithering like giant Pythons toward every corner of the island.

Occasionally, a Wyvern or even a Giant Dragon would appear to stop him, but they were swiftly turned into nutrients for the roots.

[Ding, you have killed a Tier-3 Wyvern. Evolution Points +200,000…*[Ding, you have killed a Tier-3 Blue Dragon. Evolution Points +300,000…]

As the notifications echoed in his ears, Yu Zi Yu paid them little attention.

Now, aside from the occasional battle against those of the same Tier or mass slaughter, such a small number of Evolution Points was far from enough to meet his needs. řАꞐŎＢΕṧ

It would only suffice for a single moment of surface level enlightenment.

After all, he still had tens of millions of Evolution Points in his reserve, which were enough for the time being.

In a few days, he could send out his Apostles to various corners of Elysia to suppress battlefields.

At present, every kill made by his Apostles would grant him Evolution Points, and the conversion rate was not low either. This way, Yu Zi Yu could refrain from acting frequently himself, avoiding the risk of gaining the infamous title of ‘World-Eater Demonic Tree.’

He believed such a bad reputation would be better left to the Apostles to bear.

Although he did not care much about his reputation, it was still necessary to maintain appearances when needed. After all, he was about to become the ruler of two worlds on the surface. If his reputation was too tarnished, it would hinder his future rule.

Moreover, growing stronger through slaughter was not something that should be easily brought to light.

Shaking his head with a hint of helplessness, Yu Zi Yu suppressed his thoughts and thoroughly looted Dragon Island in just half a day.

At the same time, a treasure vault deep within the Pocket of Life was now piled high with Magic Crystals, as well as Spirit Flowers and Fruits.

Of course, Yu Zi Yu had not yet extracted the several super-large Spirit Stone Mines from Dragon Island. He still planned to staying on the island for a while, so he was not in a rush.

…

At this moment, the battles seemed to be nearing their end.

Looking up, Yu Zi Yu saw Giant Dragon after Giant Dragon, seen either frozen into ice sculptures or bound by chains of lightning.

Among them, there were some who fared the worst. Those were the Dragons who had encountered brutal creatures like Sarcosuchus and Behemoth: Their scales were shattered, and blood dripped from their bodies.

Take the Golden Dragon King, for example. Previously arrogant and defiant, he now resembled a withered eggplant, his aura utterly diminished. The Golden Dragon scales on his body were shattered, and his flesh was a bloody mess. Some parts of his flesh even appeared blackened, as if poisoned.

“How tragic…” Heaving a sigh, Yu Zi Yu glanced at his subordinates.

[Not bad, considering they were up against enemies with greater numbers, and most of them were besieged. Aside from Spirit Cat, who got severely injured, most have only suffered minor wounds.  More importantly, some of them are even unscathed, creatures like Little White and Sarcosuchus seem untouched.]

…

At that moment, as if sensing Yu Zi Yu’s familiar gaze, a deep voice suddenly echoed through the air, “Master, I have successfully suppressed the entire Dragon Clan.”

As the voice rang out, a colossal beast in the distant sea slowly raised its head, its gaze fixed in the direction of Yu Zi Yu.

It was Sarcosuchus, the Fourth Great Beast under Yu Zi Yu. Just after descending, he had absorbed a significant portion of the Dragon Island’s Earth Energy, transforming it into armor draped over his body.

Now, his body had grown so massive that, even while standing on the seafloor, most of it remained above the water. While the shallow waters in the vicinity played a part, it was primarily due to his sheer size, which was comparable to a city. He was an utterly terrifying sight.

“Well done…” Nodding slightly, Yu Zi Yu expressed his satisfaction.

However, after a moment, as if recalling something, Yu Zi Yu instructed, “Clean up the battlefield, then inventory the spoils…”

As he said this, Yu Zi Yu glanced at the Dragons that had been suppressed in such a sorry state and added, “By the way, exile any Dragon or Wyvern that has reached Tier-4 to the Pocket of Void. As for those below Tier-4, you can imprison them as you see fit.”

“Yes… Master…” Responding in a deep voice, Sarcosuchus smiled as he gazed at the massive vortex slowly opening in the distant sky.

It was as deep as a black hole but tinged with a purple hue… this was the Space Pocket known as the ‘Void’–the land of exile, a prison for the strong!
