Evolution From the Big Tree

Late at night…

*Boom, boom, boom…” Accompanied by fearsome tremors, the robust black Bull Demon was returning to the canyon. However, as he grew closer to the canyon, Bull Demon subconsciously suppressed the tremors.

Be that as it may, no matter how deliberately he tried to suppress the tremors, the ground kept shaking uncontrollably, leaving Bull Demon helpless.

Having become a Tier-1 Transcendent, although his size had not increased, his weight had multiplied.

According to Yu Zi Yu, his bone density was continuously increasing, thereby increasing his mass. In other words, his defense was growing stronger day by day.

Strictly speaking, it was good news. Bull Demon even felt gratified by this.

Getting stronger was always a good thing. Furthermore, apart from the increase in his weight, there were not any other changes. On the contrary, when he charged now, his charge became even more fearsome.

Now, the Bull Demon had a feeling that he could even crash through a mountain range.

Nevertheless, even if he could demolish a mountain range, he could not disturb the Divine Tree’s rest. As a result, each time the Bull Demon returned, he did so with great care, fearing that he might disturb the Divine Tree.

And just at this moment, a helpless voice suddenly rang in the Bull Demon’s ear, “Instead of suppressing the tremors you cause, why not try starting from your ability—Gravity Field.”

“Um… Divine Tree…”

Bull Demon’s face turned slightly stiff as he gazed at the Divine Tree, whose branches were swaying in the mist. He appeared rather embarrassed.

“Did I disturb your rest again?”

“Each step you take can rival a parade. So, how could I not wake up?” replied Yu Zi Yu in a voice filled with helplessness, shaking his head.

And at this moment, as if realizing something, Bull Demon promptly changed the subject, “Divine Tree, when you mentioned starting from my ability—Gravity Field, what do you mean?”

“Your Gravity Field creates an entirely new gravitational field distinct from the planet’s gravity.”

Speaking up to this point, Yu Zi Yu also recalled some movies and shows from his previous life related to gravity manipulation, and continued to elaborate, “In other words, if you’re powerful enough, you might even be able to counteract the gravity of Earth through your own Gravity Field. Of course, you don’t need to counteract the entire planet’s gravity, only the gravity in your vicinity. This would minimize the disturbance caused by your movements…”

“Is that so?” Lowering his head in contemplation, the Bull Demon fell into deep thought. However, after a moment, he helplessly shook his head.

Although the principle sounded simple, putting it into practice was far from easy. Especially since gravity was an unseen force. While Yu Zi Yu made it sound achievable, it was transforming the abstract into reality—its complexity was beyond Bull Demon’s current understanding.

If he could not understand it, Bull Demon would not waste his time dwelling on it.

Shaking his head, and clearing away this concept from his mind, Bull Demon lifted his hooves and headed toward Yu Zi Yu’s tree body. However, when he arrived in the vicinity of Yu Zi Yu, the Bull Demon suddenly paused, his nose twitching uncontrollably.

“Divine…Tree…” Bull Demon called out, as if warning, slightly startling Yu Zi Yu, who was preparing to sink back into meditation.

“There is something strange nearby.”

“Something strange?” Momentarily puzzled, Yu Zi Yu instinctively expanded his perception. After a brief moment, as if he had discovered something, Yu Zi Yu’s expression suddenly changed as his gaze focused on a particular spot.

In that spot, a peculiar crimson mist was slowly dissipating.

“What’s this!?” With a hint of astonishment, Yu Zi Yu’s branches lightly swept through the air, dispersing the surrounding mist and extending gently toward the fading crimson haze.

At this point, observing the unfamiliar crimson mist not far away, the Bull Demon gently asked, “Divine Tree, you didn’t detect it with your power?”

“I didn’t.”

Shaking his head, Yu Zi Yu explained forthright, “Although the mist is like my second pair of eyes, it’s not all-powerful. Unless there’s a strong fluctuation in Spiritual Energy or I’m deliberately observing, my mist won’t automatically lock onto a specific area. Furthermore, my mist’s coverage area is incredibly vast now, and I can’t possibly pay constant attention to everything. And this does give opportunistic moments to the likes of these small creatures.”

Listening to Yu Zi Yu’s explanation, Bull Demon nodded in understanding.

“That’s true.” Speaking of this, Bull Demon seemed to think of something and added, “Moreover, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations of this wisp of crimson mist are quite faint. Had it not been this close, it would have been quite difficult to notice it.”

“It’s likely a Mutant Beast skilled in concealment.” Chuckling, Yu Zi Yu did not take it much seriously. Instead, he began expanding his perception, initiating the search.

Judging by the rate at which the crimson mist was dissipating, this mysterious individual should not have gone too far. Thus, Yu Zi Yu naturally felt confident in finding it.

At the same time, a joy of cat and mouse chase welled up in Yu Zi Yu’s heart. He wanted to see what kind of creature this ‘little mouse’ was so that it managed to infiltrate his stronghold without being detected.

[But according to common sense, it should have been impossible.] Yu Zi Yu was a little puzzled.

His root system was spread throughout North Canyon. Instead of merely calling this place a canyon, it would be more accurate to describe it as a cradle woven by his extensive root system. Even the cliffs on either side were intertwined with his roots.

Had this happened at the edge of the canyon, he might not have noticed it.

However, here, at the very heart of the canyon, the fact that he had not sensed it was quite bewildering.

“How intriguing!” A playful smile curled the corners of his mouth as Yu Zi Yu expanded his perception continuously.

Moments later, aided by the mist, a picture with God’s-eye-view imprinted itself into Yu Zi Yu’s mind.

10 meters…

20 meters…

100 meters…

His perception continued to expand, and the image grew clearer and more vivid.

Yet, just at that moment, as if sensing something, Yu Zi Yu’s expression abruptly changed.

“Qian… Qin…” Murmuring softly, Yu Zi Yu’s countenance turned extremely dark. Qian Qin had vanished right under his nose…

“Divine Tree!?” as if noticing the change in Yu Zi Yu’s demeanor, Bull Demon inquired in surprise.

“It’s nothing,” a calm and gentle voice echoed in his ears. However, Bull Demon felt as if the air had become a bit heavier.

Meanwhile, a fearsome Spiritual Energy slowly started surging as well. In mere moments, the entire canyon’s atmosphere had changed. It was as if a storm had been set-off.

“Where is it?” Murmuring to himself, Yu Zi Yu expanded his perception several kilometers outward.

At this moment, if anyone could observe through Yu Zi Yu’s perspective, they would undoubtedly notice that within several kilometers’ radius, everything from large trees to tiny ants was captured in his mind

A tremendous amount of information continued to rush into Yu Zi Yu’s mind.
