Meanwhile, in another corner of the starry sky, Yu Zi Yu gazed ahead.
His eyes seemed to pierce through time and even space itself.
And without anyone noticing, he was already gathering information on the other powerhouses.
“So, the path the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix walks… is that of Dao of Sound Slaying.”
Yu Zi Yu let out a faint chuckle, as a new status screen appeared within his mind, belonging to none other than the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix.
And indeed, her panel was nothing short of luxurious.

Silently studying the panel, Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but marvel at the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix’s power.
Yu Zi Yu had no choice but to acknowledge the overwhelming might of the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix, the undisputed number one prodigy of the Phoenix Clan.
Her strength truly left nothing to be criticized.
However, what was even more impressive than her abilities was the robe she wore.
“The legendary Imperial Artifact of the Phoenix Clan, the Iridescent Cloud Robe…” Yu Zi Yu murmured to himself, recognizing the Imperial Artifact.
According to legend, this piece was woven from the tail feathers of a Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix, a Half-Step Eternal, and nourished by her own blood essence.
Only then did this Sentient Imperial Artifact come to be.
At a moment of crisis, its user could even burn their Phoenix Blood and summon the Dharma Avatar of the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix itself. Its might was no less than the finest of Higher-Grade Imperial Artifacts.
And this was the depth of the Phoenix Clan’s heritage.
…
“hmm…” Yu Zi Yu turned his head to look in another direction.
As far as the eye could see, powerhouses filled the starry expanse.
Adding more to the spectacle, he also spotted around eight Imperial Artifacts in his view.
However, the most terrifying of all was the figure he glimpsed, hidden deep within a sea of lightning. It radiated divine grace as vast and majestic as an ocean—yet the divine pressure it exuded was equally immense, like an infernal prison
Though the figure stood silently, thunder roared around him, and a strange phenomena rippled outward.
Vaguely, Yu Zi Yu saw multitudes of phantoms kneeling in prayer within this vision.
“The Gods…” A soft chuckle escaped Yu Zi Yu, but his gaze remained fixed on a crimson glimmer flickering amidst the sea of lightning.
The glimmer seemed to be pulsating through eternity, rekindled across the ages.
It was none other than the Supreme Imperial Artifact of the Gods, the Spear of Fate, hailed as the Artifact closest to a Primordial Imperial Artifact.
However, from what Yu Zi Yu could sense, this was only a projection of the original Artifact.
If its True Body had descended… even if it concealed its aura, he would still have felt an overwhelming sense of danger.
After all, this was one of the rare Imperial Artifacts capable of threatening him.
…
At that moment, within the sea of lightning, the expressions of several figures abruptly changed, seemingly sensing something unusual.
Yu Zi Yu’s gaze from the beyond peering at them had stirred alarm in their hearts.
One of them, standing quietly behind the King of Gods. His facial features was hardly visible. Suddenly, he roared, “Who dares spy upon us!?”
His shout boomed like thunder, shaking the very starry expanse.
And with it, endless chaos erupted, turning half the sky into a swirling domain of primordial chaos.
This is the God of Chaos, the most eccentric of the Nine Pantheons, who did not distinguish between good and evil, between right and wrong.
As he roared, he seemed to have discovered the source of the intrusive gaze.
He suddenly swung his right hand, and with a deafening explosion that rocked the stars, endless Chaos Energy spiraled into a long spear, before hurtling straight toward Yu Zi Yu’s location.
“Tsk… You were actually able to sense me?” There was some surprise in his voice, perhaps even a trace of delight.
After all, not even the Crimson Dragon or the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix had managed such a feat.
That was not to say this God was stronger than the two of them.
However, it proved that he had some genuine skill.
Unfortunately, the current Yu Zi Yu was so terrifying that he was far beyond the reach of an existence of his level.
“Hahaha…” With a soft laugh, starlight began to shimmer around Yu Zi Yu.
Looking closely, one would discover that it wasn’t starlight at all, but countless daggers flying around him.
And just as the Spear of Chaos hurtled toward him…
*Whoosh…* With a sharp crack, a streak of silver light split through the starry void, cleaving the Spear of Chaos cleanly in two, much to the shock and astonishment of the Gods.
Adding more to the dread, the dagger didn’t stop. It continued to surge straight toward the sea of lightning where the Gods were standing.
*Boooooom…* A deafening clap, giving the impression as if the very Heaven was about to collapse, reverberated through the sky.
Instantly, the eyes of all the gathered powerhouses across the starry skies turned toward the source.
As they looked up, they witnessed a part of the starscape divided into two. One side was boiling with streaks of lightning, towering hundreds of thousands of meters into the Heavens. And not far from the lightning sea, a silverish dagger descended like a heavenly blade cleaving through the sky.
*Ssshhhk…Ssshhhk…* Spiritual Energy clashed with Divine Energy, igniting endless sparks. Even the space itself twisted and contorted from the impact.
“What is that!?”
“This pressure… is this a joke!?”
…
One exclamation followed another as countless experts stared at the apocalyptic sight that warped even the fabric of the starry skies. Their faces all turned grim.
This was practically on par with the full-force clash of two peak Tier-6 Overlords.
However, what left everyone most shocked was the fact that this seemed to be nothing more than a brief exchange of probing attacks. None of them could sense true killing intent in that flying dagger.
Instead, what it carried was provocation: a challenge, a warning.
And then… at last, a cold voice echoed across the starry sky, “Not long ago, the God of Light offended me… and I can’t let that pass.”
As the words fell, the silverish dagger flared up with a dazzling glow, and in a single instant, it cleaved the entire sea of lightning in half.
*Booooom…* A thunderous blast roared through the Heavens.
Even the Gods, whom the rest of the cosmos regarded with dread, staggered back one after another.
However, no one had the time to concern themselves with the Gods’ disarray, because at that very moment—
*Thump… Thump… Thump…* Footsteps echoed through the starry expanse.
And from the distant edge of the starscape, a figure emerged, clad in white robes like snow, untainted by the dust of the mortal world.
With each step he took, starlight shimmered beneath his feet, as though the very stars were lifting him up.
And with his approach, a mighty pressure that could suppress Heaven began to rise.
Even the Connecting-Heaven Divine Tree, rooted in the far distance, seemed to sense something. Her ancient branches swayed gently, as she slowly opened her weathered, eternal eyes.
