With a mere raise of his hand, an entire Clan was suppressed, and not just any Clan, but the Elemental Clan, one of the most elite and powerful Clans.

Such an air of supremacy, such invincibility, it was scarce as stardust, rare beyond measure.

Only those who reigned at the pinnacle of an era, the Eternals, could wield such grace and might.

Each Eternal was the most dazzling genius of their era. Some among them were so mighty and invincible that they ruled the universe for millions of years, their brilliance eclipsing others for dozens of eras.

And now, Yu Zi Yu, still only at the Seventh Order of Tier-6, was already displaying such a dominating presence. It was an exceptionally rare feat.

This alone was enough to prove Yu Zi Yu’s extraordinary talent, far surpassing his peers—so much so that none could even see his shadow.

Secondly, it also proved that Yu Zi Yu was someone of immense fortune and blessed with deep destiny.

On the road to supremacy, both talent and fortune were equally essential.

However, this was not yet a time for celebration.

After all, Yu Zi Yu was still only at the Seventh Order. Although he could now contend with Hegemons, even clash head-on with Imperial Artifacts, if he were to remain still, it was only a matter of time before he would be surpassed.

As for the idea of preemptively snuffing out any potential Tier-7 in the cradle? That was laughable.

Strong as Yu Zi Yu was, he could only roam freely across a few dozen galaxies.

He could suppress the Angel Clan, pressure the Netherborns, but who could say that, some unknown race won’t suddenly produce a Tier-7 Hegemon out of nowhere?

So, prevention or suppression was out of the picture.

Tier-7 Hegemons, when it was their time, they would inevitably emerge.

For now, all Yu Zi Yu could do was continue building his foundation, so that when the true Hegemons start appearing in the universe, he could break through to even greater heights.

*Hoooo…* Yu Zi Yu could not help but take a long, deep gasp, as he gazed ahead with glittering eyes.

In his gaze, not far away stood a planet, already half-subsumed into the Nine Realms: Elementara.

And that planet held more than half the Elemental Clan’s heritage, it was truly a huge trove.

Back then, absorbing just one-third of the Heavenly Court’s legacy had been enough to propel the Demon Court into the ranks of a top-tier Force.

And even now, part of that one-third had yet to be fully digested.

This was proof of just how terrifying a top-tier Force’s heritage could be.

[Not to mention other things, this thing alone…]

Yu Zi Yu’s eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked at a spring in the deepest region of Elementara.

This spring has many names: the Fountain of Mana, the Well of Elements…

It had many legends tied to it, and all those stories agreed on one thing: This spring was terrifying.

According to the ancient lores, it was the very source from which Elemental Energy—or Spiritual Energy—was born.

There were said to be 108 such springs scattered across the cosmos.

However, the one belonging to the Elemental Clan was the only one that had manifested in the world.

…

The Fountain of Mana overflowed with the purest Spiritual Energy in existence. Even if one were to cast a mere pig into its depths, it would soar to the Heavens.

For the current Yu Zi Yu, this was a treasure among treasures. One he needed now more than ever.

His cultivation had reached such heights that with a single breath, he absorbed as much Spiritual Energy as dozens of Tier-6 Overlords could gather over half a month of arduous cultivation.

His intake of Spiritual Energy was so massive, it shook Heaven and trembled the Earth.

Not long ago, while he was cultivating in the Celestial Realm, the Spiritual Energy Storm he conjured sent tremors rippling through the entire realm, shaking the entire Moon.

And so, Yu Zi Yu had no choice but to halt his cultivation.

Such was the tragedy of being too powerful.

Even ordinary cultivation would trigger cataclysmic effects, as if he would swallow the planets and exhale their moons.

But now, with this spring, he no longer had to worry.

Just the daily outflow of this one well’s energy was enough to fully satisfy Yu Zi Yu’s cultivation needs.

Not to mention, this spring was still growing, steadily increasing in size, like the ever-expanding Starry Sky.

According to a secret saying passed down within the Elemental Clan, the Spiritual Energy storm that once swept across the cosmos was caused by all 108 Wells of Elements manifesting simultaneously and unleashing limitless Spiritual Energy into the world.

Of course, Yu Zi Yu was not fully clear of that part yet.

At present, all he knew was that with this spring in his hands, not only he, but the entire Demon Court would no longer need to worry about cultivation resources.

And this was undoubtedly one of the greatest heritage of the Elemental Clan.

As for the other treasures they had… Yu Zi Yu simply chuckled. He did not care much for them.

Whatever remained could be taken back to the Demon Court and handed off to Nine Tails and the others to sort through.

…

“Still, what a pity…” Seemingly struck by some thought, Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but heave a faint sigh, and his flickering eyes slowly turned toward the depths of the starry expanse.

[The Elemental Clan got suppressed quite easily. Well, it was bound to happen. They were a well known Force, their bases were known to the public. By the time they realized what was happening, they didn’t even have time to escape. But the other Forces… might not be so easy to subdue.]

[Take the First Tower of the World, for instance. No one even knows where their main headquarters is. Even Seven and Moonshadow Reaper, who have worked undercover for nearly eighty years, are still absolutely dark about it. According to them, the Tower’s main base is said to be ‘everywhere and nowhere,’ hidden in the domain of endless shadows.]

“Hidden in endless shadows, huh…” Yu Zi Yu murmured, a trace of speculation flashing in his eyes.

[It’s possible that, similar to how Slytherin created a dream world, an alternate dimension that exists in reality but is woven from illusion, the Shadow Clan also resided in their own alternate dimension, maybe called the Shadow Realm.]

[A world only the Shadow Clan knew how to enter. And besides the First Tower, the main bases of the Heavenly Court and the Netherborns are equally difficult to deal with. Let’s not even get started on the Heavenly Court, who are secretly growing in the dark, more hidden than anyone else. Trying to track them down would definitely take a lot of work. As for the Netherborns…]

Yu Zi Yu’s brow furrowed slightly, and the moonlight in his eyes shimmered faintly.

The Netherborns’s main base was known to be in the Dark Expanse. That much was public knowledge.

But the problem lay in the fact that the Dark Expanse was one of the most perilous regions in the universe.

The rumor was that the Dark Expanse was an independent world, entirely isolated from the outside. Danger lurked at every turn within it.

It was the ultimate Forbidden Zone.

Although Yu Zi Yu was powerful, he did not dare act carelessly.

If, by chance, the Dark Expanse was protected by some sort of top-tier Natural Formation, and he were to get trapped within it… it would be an enormous problem.

At this point, it should be mentioned that Formations were primarily divided into two types, natural and artificial.

Unlike Artificial Formations, which were created by people, Natural Formations were Perfect Formations born of chance and destiny. Forged into existence by the relentless hammer of time, these Formations were inherently unpredictable and virtually indestructible.

The reason the Dark Expanse was considered a Forbidden Zone may very well be because it was shrouded in one of these Perfect Natural Formations.

But then, in the next moment, as if recalling something, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up.

[How stupid of me!? I have the Sixteen Holy Wings. With this Artifact, there is nowhere in Heaven or Earth I can’t go. If I can master its power further, then even if the Dark Expanse is protected by a Perfect Natural Formation, it would not be able to trap me.]
