'Finally...' Tianlong thought to himself as he gazed at the body of a dead Four-Armed Fire Ape corpse. After three days of hunting, the Elder Dragon finally leveled up to 100, now able to transform into a Juvenile Xeno'jiiva and summon another Monster.

[Congradulations! You have leveled up to level 100, would you like to evolve to 'Juvenile Xeno'jiiva' now? ]

'Not yet, I need to get to my cave first.' Tianlong at the corpse of the Four-Armed Fire Ape quickly before heading back to the Confluence of Fates cave. Getting to the cave Tianlong contacted Xiao Hei through their connection, 'Xiao Hei, I'm going to go through an evolution, I will need you to guard my body in case something may occur.'

A mature and aggressive female voice called out through the connection, 'Yes my Young Dragon Lord.' When he first heard he voice when he summoned the Black Diablos he asked the system why she could talk sense in the Remnant Realm, magic beasts can only start to talk when they reach Earth Realm. The system replied saying that the monsters from Monster Hunter are smarter than magic beasts in this world, so they start talking in the Black Realm. Another thing is that Xiao Hei won't call him anything other than Young Dragon Lord, even though he told her to call her Tianlong or even Young Master, nothing worked.

'Young Dragon Lord, would you like me to bring you food for after the transformation?' Xiao Hei said.

'That is a lovely idea Xiao Hei, thank you.' He replied.

'Anything for you my Young Dragon Lord.'

Getting into a comfortable position, the ethereal dragon contacted the system, 'System, I'm ready to evolve into a Juvenile Xeno'Jiiva.'

[ Are you sure you're ready to evolve into a 'Juvenile Xeno'Jiiva?' ]

'Yes.'

[ Evolving, please wait...' ]

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH..." Suddenly when the system talked talking, a piercing pain went throughout his dragon body. His bones started breaking down, his skin and muscles started tearing, His wings were ripping apart. The pain of his body breaking apart and putting itself back together then breaking apart again made him feel as though death was a better option. His blood that was leaking out of his damaged body started congealing around his body, surrounding him in a sphere of solid blood.

After what seemed like endless days of torture, the pain started subsiding, leaving him feeling warm and powerful. The blood around him started absorbing back into his body, leaving behind the new Juvenile Xeno'Jiiva.

Xeno'jiiva still has a large dragon body, 70 meters in size with an otherworldly appearance. It has two eyes and twelve orange glowing spots running up the length of his now two pairs of horns. Parts of its body glow ethereal blue, instead of only having crystalline and translucent skin, he now had patches of crystal translucent like scales in the shape of diamonds. He had black spike running down his back, ending at the tail. His wings are frayed at the edge of the membrane and are grayish-blue in color. He now had a pair of claw-like hands, similar to the Gore Magala and Shagaru Magala.

'This power...' Despite his sore body, he felt power rushing throughout his entire being

"You have awakened, my Young Dragon Lord." A mature and aggressive female voice swept through the cave. Tianlong looked to see Xiao Hei stalking through the cave with a giant cow magical beast corpse behind her.

"I have, Xiao Hei," Tianlong addressed the Diablos subspecies, "How is my new body?" he asked, curious of her response.

"Perfection, my Young Dragon Lord," Xiao Hei said in awe and slight possessiveness. "The embodiment of beauty, exactly what I would think a majestic dragon god would look like."

"Thank you Xiao Hei," he felt embarrassed by what she said but kept a calm voice, "Thank you for the meal you have brought for me." Walking to the corpse, he started feasting on the remains.

"Anything for you my Young Dragon Lord." She replied.

After he ate his fill and drank the water from the cave's lake, he addressed Xiao Hei again, "you are very close to level 100, level up so that you may evolve as well. I will need rest after my transformation." He said as he was laying down to get comfortable.

"At once, Young Dragon Lord." She replied with a little excitement as she was burrowing into the ground, leaving Tianlong alone in the cave.

'Hopefully, she doesn't run into any trouble..." Was Tianlong's last thought as he drifted into unconsciousness. Little did he know that that was exactly she was getting into.

______________________________________________

One mile away from Tianlong's cave was a group of disciples and a sect elder. Every month, sects from around the continents would let disciples into the Mysterious Beast Mountain Range to gain experience from life and death battles. These groups of disciples would be accompanied by a sect elder since the Mysterious Beast Mountain Range is known to house the fiercest magical beasts in the entire Remnant Realm.

The group of disciples gathered around and watched a handsome young man with a sword fight against, who seemed around the age of 15, a Frost Ape in awe.

"Wow did you see the Young Master cut of the ape's hand?"

"Of course! Our Young Master is undefeatable in the Black Realm. What could a mere Frost Ape do to him?"

"Young Master is a genius!"

'He's not bad...' The balding sect elder thought to himself. The Young Master they were referring to was Mo Guangming, the son of the Wind Sword Sect Leader, a somewhat well-known sect that focuses on swords and other weapons. Due to him being called a genius and his father's doting, Young Master Mo became arrogant, believing himself as a Son of Heaven.

Sons and Daughters of Heavens were known to be the most talented youngsters in the whole Remnant Realm. They were geniuses of geniuses, monsters of monsters, either with natural talent, powerful bloodlines, or unique body constitutions, they were known to be peerless geniuses.

Although Young Master Mo was talented, the elder didn't think he was on the same level as Sons and Daughters of Heavens, but he wouldn't say it out loud.

The elder's thoughts were interrupted as Young Master Mo swaggered back over to the group of disciples with an arrogant smirk on his face after the defeat of the Frost Ape, a Peak Black Realm magical beast. The group of disciples surrounded Mo Guangming as they were flattering him.

"Congratulations Young Master Mo, that beast wasn't a match for you!"

"Congratulations Young Master Mo..."

"Congratulations ..."

"Thank you for the support," Mo Guangming smiled arrogantly at the group, "Don't worry, that beast was no match for me. "

Their flatting was interrupted as a loud roar was heard and trees being knocked down. Walking into the clearing was a large black bear with bone protrusions coming out from his back and red eyes.

"O-Oh no! I-It's a Bone-Backed Black Bear, a-a-an Earth Realm Stage 4 Beast..." One disciple stammered out with a fearful expression.

"Elder Li, please help!" A female disciple screamed.

Elder Li walked out from his hiding place to face the bear magical beast, he was an Earth Realm Stage 9 cultivator so he was the only one who could face the Bone-Backed Black Bear. He unsheathed his sword, ready to face the bear. The bear looked at him and the disciples stood on his back legs and let out a powerful roar. Before the two could face off, the earth started shaking, trees uprooted, and the shaking stopped as soon as the shaking comes. The ground in front of the bear erupted, shooting out a black blur and hit the black bear, killing it in one move. The black beast turned towards the group and the Elder and disciples finally got to see what the black blur was.

The black monster was a large, black bipedal dragon with powerful armor plating covering its body. It has a pair of black massive, solid horns above its eyes. Possesses a pair of tusk-like fangs and a large, spiny neck frill. Her tail ends with a heavy, studded club that can be used to ward off attackers. The black blur stood on a pair of stocky, wide-set legs and possess a broad upper body complete with thick, muscular wings.

The black dragon looked at the group with inhuman-like intelligence, which alarmed Elder Li. 'It's an Earth Realm Dragon magic beast, this is bad...'

"What is that?!"

"Is it an unknown dragon beast?"

"Elder Li! I want this beast as my mount! Defeat it and I'll let my father reward you!" Mo Guangming yelled to Elder Li, "Only this beast is fit to be a mount for me, Mo Guangming!" He finished arrogantly.

The unknown dragon seemed to be enraged by his comments and looked towards Young Master Mo and let out an intimidating and powerful roar, making everyone cover their ears so that is doesn't rupture their eardrums.

"Everyone back away..." Elder Li told the disciples, "It's an Unkown Dragon type magical beast at the Earth Realm." The disciples had a fearful look, Dragons were known to be the most powerful magic beasts, almost unparalleled in their respected realms. For Elder Li, this was a hard battle to win even without protecting the disciples behind him.
