At this moment, the other Legendary Beast Emperors were also stunned.
Although it was only a small increase in rank, this was a breakthrough in the Legendary realm!
Most Legendary creatures could only remain stuck in the Lower Legendary stage for their entire lives.
Their desire to break through was not simply a matter of effort; it also required innate factors such as talent and bloodline.
Furthermore, two Beast Emperors were breaking through simultaneously.
Even in the ancient era of beast taming, this was an exceptionally rare occurrence.
"Could there be some opportunity?"
Tian Tu's eyes narrowed, filled with thought, and his plan for retribution was immediately abandoned.
Two Middle Legendary beasts were already an undeniable force, especially with the fall of the strongest Chaos Giant Ape. To resist the Forbidden Mist fiends and consolidate their status, they needed to gather the strength of the Death Sky Knights.
"Guard them closely, do not let other creatures interfere."
At this moment, the Nine Nether Giant Python beside them slowly spoke.
Currently, there were no creatures on Blue Star that posed a threat capable of disturbing the breakthrough of the Death Sky Knights.
Its words naturally had only one purpose: to declare its stance and abandon any further retribution.
Tian Tu remained silent but had already tacitly agreed.
After all, it had been so aggressive before, and now it was not pursuing retribution, which would inevitably make it appear unconvincing. With the Nine Nether Giant Python issuing the command, it was also convenient to descend from the high ground.
For a time, the major Fierce Beast Emperors descended into the depths of the Death Altar, arriving beside the Sky Knights.
The Sky Knights seemed to have anticipated their intentions and began to focus on 'breaking through'...
As for the so-called breakthrough, it was merely a deception, as their strength was far beyond that of a Middle Legendary beast...
Time gradually passed.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth became surging, pouring into the bodies of both.
The entire altar seemed to tremble, and countless fierce beasts prostrated themselves, their faces filled with fervor as they celebrated the breakthrough of their Emperors...
Finally, with a roar,
The Death Sky Knight and the Undead War Horse absorbed all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
In an instant, all anomalies vanished!
The 'breakthrough' of the two was also successfully concluded...
"Thank you, brothers and sisters, for your protection..."
The Sky Knight approached the other Fierce Beast Emperors and spoke proactively:
"During the previous battle with that old human rogue, the war horse and I were fortunate enough to have an epiphany, and were forced to leave the battlefield. I hope you will all forgive us!"
This statement instantly explained his reason for deserting.
The dissatisfaction and anger in the hearts of the major Fierce Beast Emperors dissipated by more than half.
After all, it concerned their lifelong achievements, and missing an epiphany could prevent them from ever breaking through. It was understandable.
"We have not shamed our mission; after three years, we have successfully broken through!"
The Sky Knight smiled slightly and said, "We are willing to take the lead and be the vanguard in blocking the Forbidden Mist fiends, opening up a new era for us!"
With his words, the dissatisfaction of the Fierce Beast Emperors completely vanished; this statement already expressed the sincerity of the Sky Knight.
Not only that, but this fellow also concealed his actions of plundering the Forbidden Mist fiends over the past three years.
After all, if he was constantly breaking through, how could he have had time to do evil?
It had to be said that this fellow not only hid his strength deeply but also understood the psychology of others perfectly, truly possessing the air of a fierce beast world's Southern Jiang bandit...
Indeed, with just two sentences, the major Fierce Beast Emperors no longer pursued his past actions, and instead wore smiles, appearing like brothers unto death...
"What do you mean by taking the lead?"
The Nine Nether Giant Python grinned and said, "Suppressing the Forbidden Mist fiends is the responsibility of every Beast Emperor. We will all share the world and usher in a new era!"
For a time, the tense atmosphere between the two sides vanished, replaced by a harmonious one.
The Sky Knight smiled, but inwardly, he felt smug; indeed, everything had proceeded as he expected.
After all, two Middle Legendary beasts were a significant force. If they were truly pushed to desperation, they might defect to the Forbidden Mist fiends, and the new era's Fierce Beast Emperors would be the ones to suffer.
Besides this, there was another benefit:
He was now a Middle Legendary beast. If they were truly sending someone to their deaths, it wouldn't be him, would it? After all, there were so many Lower Legendary beasts...
At this moment, the Lower Legendary beasts like the Soul Dragon Emperor felt dissatisfaction and jealousy.
However, on the surface, they could only offer their blessings...
"Today, our injuries have healed, and we have emerged once more. The two brothers of the Sky Knight have also successfully broken through to Middle Legendary. We must celebrate properly!"
The Nine Nether Giant Python spoke, "What are your opinions?"
"It is only right!"
The Fierce Beast Emperors nodded in unison, appearing cheerful and pleased.
"Since this is on my territory, I will be the one to decide!"
The Sky Knight patted his chest, looking magnanimous, and said, "Although my territory is a bit barren, I can still offer some Black Iron Spirit Fruits!"
"..."
In an instant, the atmosphere became awkward.
They were the strongest beings in the world currently, and they were being asked to eat Black Iron Spirit Fruits? This was pure garbage feeding!
These were things they wouldn't even glance at normally...
They instinctively thought this was an insult.
But when they looked at the Death Altar, which was lacking in spiritual energy, they immediately understood...
This place was indeed extremely poor, not even comparable to some destructive-level异空间 (exotic spaces)...
They were now somewhat puzzled as to where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had come from just now, and it wasn't the last bit squeezed out, was it...
"What are you talking about?"
The Nine Nether Giant Python spoke, "You are a Middle Legendary beast after all. We are on the same boat; we share fortunes and face hardships together! You can take as much of the Dragon Abyss Forbidden Zone's resources as you want!"
"Really?!"
The Sky Knight's expression instantly jolted, his eyes filled with greed, and his entire demeanor seemed to transform.
"..."
The Nine Nether Giant Python was slightly startled, instinctively feeling a bad premonition.
It seemed to have been a bit hasty...
But now that the words had been spoken, it was difficult to retract them, and it could only deal with this fellow later...
"Could this fellow be Chen Shu in disguise?"
The silent Tian Tu suddenly had a bizarre thought...
Although their ranks and races were different, there were indeed some similarities...
At this moment, the Beast Emperors cheerfully left the Death Altar, preparing to return to the Blue Star to celebrate.
However, as soon as they returned to Blue Star, the Dark Nether Tree suddenly froze, its face filled with shock as it said:
"The Forbidden Mist has changed!"
"Hmm?!"
The other Beast Emperors also reacted instantly, their eyes showing a hint of solemnity.
In their hearts, the threat of the great fiends still outweighed that of humans, as they had oppressed them for countless years.
"Are you sure?!"
Tian Tu's aura became extremely powerful, even carrying a hint of battle intent.
"I can be sure; they have crossed my wood domain!"
The Dark Nether Tree swayed its body. It had planted its roots around every Forbidden Mist area, and as soon as the Forbidden Mist crossed its roots, it would sense it immediately.
"Let's go and see!"
The Beast Emperors lost their desire to celebrate and prepared to meet the impending great enemy!
