In the previous life, there were quite a few ninth-level existences.
The Earth was not a space on the brink of collapse; it would not experience a situation like the Blue Secret Realm where energy was trapped and unable to cycle and regenerate.
Therefore, on Earth, it was allowed for many ninth-level lives to exist.
Of course, with an increased number of ninth-level lives, life and death would also emerge. In the Blue Secret Realm, two ninth-level existences stood on either side, wary of each other, each with a large number of subordinates. They were also afraid of the space collapsing, hence they would maintain a long-lasting state of "not dying."
However, Earth was different. When humans evolved to the nine-star level, they needed to eliminate ninth-level lives. If there weren't enough, how could they accumulate enough magic crystals to spin the wheel?
Thus, on Earth, whether it was mutated ninth-level lives or nine-star experts, a certain number appeared.
Some quickly faded into obscurity, which basically meant death, while others maintained their renown for a long time, occasionally reporting their achievements. These beings, time was kinder to them.
But no matter which ones, as long as they were born, existed, and were discovered, they would leave behind heavy traces.
Some of them, even if they disappeared or died, would still be mentioned from time to time.
Because they were so distinctive that no one could forget them.
The names Zombie Tiger, Ghost Wolf, and Flashing Eagle belonged to this category.
High-level beings mostly had their own territories, with numerous subordinates; true lone wolves were rare.
There were, however, some exceptions like the golden knight type, which was a complete solitary wanderer. Then there was the kind like Zombie Tiger, Ghost Wolf, and Flashing Eagle, who were all powerful yet lived together as companions.
When Ye Zhongming heard these three names in his past life, it coincided with a major event among human evolvers: a powerful nine-star evolver had fallen.
The death of such top-tier combat strength was rare, even in an apocalypse where life was the least valuable. Therefore, it stirred a great commotion.
And the ones who took down this nine-star evolver were the three beings: Zombie Tiger, Ghost Wolf, and Flashing Eagle.
They were all ninth-level yet inseparable, without subordinates but acting as though they had countless followers.
Faced with them, humans found it incredibly troublesome, yet they had no solution.
Humans could unite to eliminate single ninth-level beings like the iron lock prisoner, but would be unwilling to face three ninth-level existences together, as it often meant a significantly reduced success rate for hunting and a greatly increased risk.
Nine-star experts were top figures, enjoying the greatest power in the apocalypse. Who would be willing to take such risks?
As for those eight-star evolvers who wanted to collect ninth-level magic crystals, not to mention if they had the strength, even if they did, they would prefer to hunt a single ninth-level life rather than foolishly challenge three together.
Thus, until Ye Zhongming was reborn, these three beings were still well and active, though information about them was sparse. The last time he heard about their appearance seemed to be near the sea, and after that, no one discovered them for over a year. Everyone thought they had perished, possibly killed by the fierce marine life in the ocean.
In this life, who could have imagined that he would see them, even as only eighth-level beings?
Their levels were lower, but Ye Zhongming held no contempt for them; these three had extremely powerful forces, each with their own characteristics, forming a complementary relationship. He, Yangos, and the earth yellow pill had not yet truly fought together, so it was uncertain if they could handle them.
"That big bird is mine! I want it to know Grandpa Dragon's might!" Yangos looked down at Flashing Eagle from a distance, roaring into the air.
"Be careful, Flashing Eagle is known for its speed, strong attack power, and lightning attributes, which somewhat restrain your fire attributes. Stay cautious in battle and don’t be careless. In the air, you dragon race may be royalty, but you are not invincible," Ye Zhongming reminded Yangos.
