“What an unfathomable guy.” Heaving a soft sigh, she chose to enter a true slumber.

No, perhaps it was more accurate to say that she had entered a meditative state using the Turtle Breathing Technique, something close to entering suspended animation state.

It was a state flowing between life and death, neither alive nor dead, yet continuously jumping back and forth between the two.

…

At that very moment, as if sensing something, Anzuiel, the Sixteen Holy Wings, recovering within the Nine Realms, slowly raised his eyes, gazing solemnly in the direction of the slumbering Jianmu.

“That one… is no ordinary existence either. To think she came up with such a method to deceive even Heaven.”

A faint smile of amusement played on his lips, but more than amusement, it fueled his unwavering confidence in Yu Zi Yu.

The very fact that even the Heaven-Connecting Jianmu of this era had chosen Yu Zi Yu was an undeniable evidence enough of his extraordinary nature.

He even believed his prediction, that Yu Zi Yu would one day ascend to the Eternal Realm, becoming a terrifying existence that would shape many ages to come. In fact, he believes this would not be some far-fetched dream.

Because he could already see that Yu Zi Yu was steadily advancing toward the Eternal Realm, step by step.

…

Traveling through the starry skies was a lonely affair.

At least, for Yu Zi Yu, it was.

However, during these years of journeys back and forth, Yu Zi Yu’s cultivation had made remarkable progress once again.

All of this stemmed from one thing—his body had reached Seventh Order, and his cultivation had completely stabilized.

Now, his aura was deep and profound, as if it was ancient and eternal.

Even when he was simply rooted in one place, he gave off the impression that he was immune to all forces in the universe.

While it might have been just an impression, it still indirectly proved just how terrifying Yu Zi Yu’s current power had become.

As for how terrifying? One only needed to look at his Tenth Realm.

At present, the Tenth Realm had given birth to its very first Tier-1 lifeform.

A Tier-1 was akin to an Ant, someone that could be snuffed out with a flick of a finger.

However, its emergence signified a beginning, a transcendental beginning.

In a certain sense, it meant that Yu Zi Yu’s Tenth Realm had started to touch upon the Transcendence System.

And that was a major breakthrough.

At the very least, Yu Zi Yu now felt that the Tenth Realm was providing him with increasingly terrifying enhancements.

Even the World Energy within had grown significantly stronger.

Yu Zi Yu did not know how other people’s Seventh Order Evolution worked, but for him, when he achieved the Seventh Order, his Tenth Realm was born.

And the more prosperous the Tenth Realm became, the more terrifying Yu Zi Yu’s power grew.

If one day, the Tenth Realm birthed countless powerhouses, and even gave birth to a Tier-7 Hegemon, Yu Zi Yu’s strength could, at the very least, rival Half-Step Eternals.

And that was no exaggeration.

After all, Yu Zi Yu’s Seventh Order was about shouldering the power of an entire Great World.

And what’s more, it was perfectly integrated.

*Hooooo…* Heaving a long, deep breath, Yu Zi Yu could feel his body nearing perfection.

In ancient times, there was a tree known as the World Tree, which supported an entire world.

And now, there was Yu Zi Yu, whose very body had become a world.

The two had a truly marvelous resemblance.

However, the greatest difference lay in the fact that the world supported by the World Tree was, after all, powered by external forces.

Whereas inside the world Yu Zi Yu’s body had evolved into, everything within that world was birthed solely from his own power.

Every living thing within the Tenth Realm and their multiplication was akin to the countless cells of Yu Zi Yu’s body.

And naturally, the stronger the cells, the more power that flowed back to Yu Zi Yu’s main body.

Of course, this was only a simple explanation, that only touched its surface.

There lay an even deeper mystery at its core, far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Everyone’s Seventh Order Evolution was different.

This was a path that was unique to one’s self, something that no one else could understand.

Take the Blood Sea Daoist for instance, who had given birth to an entire race.

The stronger this race became, the stronger the Blood Sea Daoist became in turn.

As for Yu Zi Yu, he was even more incredible. He had given birth to an entire Great World. Though its cultivation process was arduous, the strength it conferred upon him was beyond question.

Now, Yu Zi Yu was confident that once he had attained advance-level in Seventh Order, he would be far stronger than the legendary Blood Sea Daoist.

“Having lost too much of their Quintessence, my current Nine Realms are still in the process of recovery. It’s not the right time to advance them. As for the cultivation of my Physique… It’s proceeding steadily. So for now… what I should focus my attention on is comprehension of Principles.” Murmuring to himself, Yu Zi Yu firmly settled on his next course of action, charting his cultivation for the centuries ahead.

He believed that if he managed to shoulder a Principle and step into the Realm of Hegemony, his combat power would undergo yet another qualitative transformation.

And at that point, his world would no longer be limited to the Western Sector alone; the vast universe was for his taking.

The Eastern Sector… the Northern Sector… the Southern Sector, and even beyond them, the ever-expanding Sea of Chaos…

And that wasn’t all. Even the hidden reaches of the Void Space would no longer elude his gaze.

…

Yu Zi Yu was no saint. He did not seek the so-called ‘peace of the universe.’

To him, everything was for the sake of cultivation.

All of it was for standing unshakable in the world, where no one dared cast a covetous eye upon him.

Thus, plundering others became a necessity.

And nod just the legacies of Elemental Clan, the Netherborn, but even the forces hidden in the shadows, like the Heavenly Court and Shadow Clan…

Even the myriad races of distant galaxies could not escape Yu Zi Yu’s sights.

However, it was still not the time to bare his fangs, for they were not yet sharp.

Thus, he could only devour other races without restraint under the banner of ‘Heavenfall Alliance’ or ‘Vengeance.’

Still… as if something had come to mind, Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly.

“Given how overwhelming my current might is, I wonder if there are still any foolish races or factions that would dare provoke me…Probably not.”

A sigh escaped Yu Zi Yu as hesitation set within his heart. [Should I order the Void Clan to invade the other races?]

With the Void Clan as a smokescreen, Yu Zi Yu could likewise plunder other forces.

However, if he chose that route, he wouldn’t be able to leverage the power of the Demon Court.

And currently, while the Void Clan’s power was indeed great, the portion under his command was only the tip of the iceberg.

It could crush second-rate factions with ease, but when compared to true first-rate powers, it still fell far short.

After all, among the Void Clan under his banner, the only truly impressive powerhouse was Zi Lian, a Tier-6 Overlord.

As for his Purple Dragon Form, it had been in slumber all along, and it was unlikely to move anytime soon.
