To forge order, a true order, was no simple task.

At least, not for the most.

However, for Yu Zi Yu, who stood upon the threshold of Hegemony, it was just a matter of a single command.

Just like now, his gaze, sharp as the edge of a blade, swept the surrounding Void, and finally locked upon a silhouette hidden within the haze: a violet mantis.

“Zi Lian… gather the powerhouses of the Void Clan.”

“As you will, Master.”

With a calm reply, the figure vanished into thin air like a ghost into shadow, leaving behind not even a ripple.

This was Zi Lian, who bore the power of Evolution from the Void. In these hundred years, he had already grown to the peak of Tier-6.

His might was dreadful.

Were it not for the lack of truly mighty invaders from the Myriad Races this time, Zi Lian might have already introduced to them the concept of what a top assassin was like.

And perhaps that was for the best.

For an assassin like Zi Lian… the less they acted, the more incognitos they remained, which only added to their terror.

Now, on Yu Zi Yu’s command, he set forth, suppressing the shock in his heart at his Master’s ascension to Tier-7.

The current Void held three powerful forces serving under Yu Zi Yu’s dominion.

The first was the Divine and Demonic Breeding Grounds. It was a cruel realm where countless races clung to survival in hopes of resisting Void corruption. Those who failed, or worse, those who welcomed the corruption, became Void Creatures. They would degenerate into beings like the Fallen Angel, Avril.

That was it was known as the Breeding Ground, for here, Fallen Void Creatures were bred.

The second was the Divine Protectorate, established deep within the Void by Zi Lian himself. It gathered countless assassins of the Void with extremely bizarre powers to guard the Soaring Purple Dragon, Yu Zi Yu’s another form.

And the third? It was not an organization at all. It was merely the loose but loyal following of those who feared and revered Yu Zi Yu the Soaring Purple Dragon Form, who gathered under him on their own accord.

Beings like Wings, or the likes of Violet Panther who bear the Mark of Envy.

Each of them was an extraordinary character from peak Tier-5 to Half-Step Hegemon.

…

Time passed like dust drifting through silence.

And amidst it all, Yu Zi Yu remained still, immersed in the process of settling his newfound strength.

He could not return to the starry skies just yet.

He had only just set foot into the Realm of Hegemony, and had yet to fully grasp this power.

A single careless breath from him might collapse a region.

However, what was more pressing than that was the change within him.

Having stepped into the Realm of Hegemony, his Hierarchy of Life had undergone yet another upgrade.

His eyes now shimmered with radiant light; a single glance from him could shatter a Tier-5s’ Soul.

All beings below the Hegemons were ants, it was not a mere statement, it was an undeniable truth.

Should Yu Zi Yu now release his full power, perhaps even the entire Solar System would vanish in the blink of an eye.

And even that might be an understatement, for Yu Zi Yu was no ordinary Hegemon. He possessed a body that had been tempered through seven evolutions. He already stood shoulder-to-shoulder with a Tier-6 Hegemon, and now, his strength was beginning to encroach upon even the Level-4 or Level-5 Hegemons.

As for how terrifying such Hegemons were? Yu Zi Yu could not say.

However, he did know this, the beings who stood at Level-9, those Half-Step Eternals, were peak existences who could drain the Spiritual Energy of half a galaxy with a single technique.

Half a galaxy…how terrifying such a scale was, no words were needed

In fact, a galaxy like the Milky Way could be considered as a speck of dust compared to the countless galaxies in the universe.

So to say, a Half-Step Eternal (Level-9 Hegemon) could easily drain the Spiritual Energy of the Milky Way, and even obliterate it.

From this, it could be inferred how terrifying the strength of Level-4 and Level-5 Hegemons was.

Moreover, the fact that his combat strength was close to Level-4 and Level-5 Hegemon didn’t mean that his cultivation was close to them.

The current Yu Zi Yu had just stepped into the Realm of Hegemony. He hadn’t broken Heaven’s Door and stepped on the Road to Ascension.

His potential was yet to be tapped.

The more he cultivated, the stronger he became. Furthermore, his strength was far more than ordinary people.

Perhaps, by the time Yu Zi Yu became a Level-4 Hegemon, his true might would already rival a Level-7 or even Level-8 Hegemon, or perhaps even shoulder-to-shoulder with a Half-Step Eternal.

This was the true terrifying aspect of Yu Zi Yu.

His potential was amazing, like a Dragon in slumber.

Once it was tapped, the caged Dragon would break free from its bindings, soaring into the skies.

Unstoppable. Uncontainable.

Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help involuntarily grin.

A rare joy surged within him, swelling through his chest. IT was an excitement that even he struggled to suppress.

His potential now was simply monstrous.

Not just in this era, but even across countless eras, there were few who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

What was more, this was still only the dawn of the Resurgence of Spiritual Energy.

It was next to impossible to find someone who could pose a true threat to Yu Zi Yu.

*Hahahaha…* Suddenly, a peal of wild, unrestrained laughter thundered from his throat, swelled with unstoppable pride.

The sheer force of his laugh sent waves of tsunami crashing outward.

And not far away, the two Void Emperors, Formless and Arsenal, couldn’t help but stagger backward, their expressions shifting wildly.

Their figures trembled as they were forced to retreat, overwhelmed.

And in that moment, as they gazed upon Yu Zi Yu’s back, they understood.

This…This was the true terror of the one they called Master.

A single laugh had unleashed waves powerful enough to drive back beings like Void Emperors.

*Hoooo…* Drawing a deep breath, they fought to steady themselves. Even so, the tremor in their hearts refused to settle.

Formless was the Void Emperor who had only recently been subdued by Yu Zi Yu, shortly before his clash with the Sacred Son of Buddha. It was a strange existence with no fixed form, but could take myriad forms.

And despite his eerie nature, Yu Zi Yu saw promise in him. He was worth nurturing.

Now, this strange shapeless creature who resembled a pure mass of chaos, a cloud of obscuring mist, stood calmly behind Yu Zi Yu, along with another Void Emperor, Arsenal.

Both of them, Tier-6 Void Emperors of extraordinary power…

And yet now, beneath Yu Zi Yu’s laughter, they swayed like leaves caught in a storm. They were utterly helpless against it.

That alone spoke volumes of Yu Zi Yu’s terrifying might.

Had this scene played out on Earth, just Yu Zi Yu’s laughter alone might have triggered world-ending winds that would have flattened entire continents.

It was for this reason…

That Yu Zi Yu had no intention of returning to the stars, not yet. And certainly not to the Demon Court.

His power was still too raw, too overwhelming.

One wrong breath, one careless release of his aura and disaster could follow.

He had become too terrifying. So much so, that to him, countless lives were like Ants beneath his feet.

And those Ants couldn’t even withstand his gaze.

So then, how could his True Body return to the Demon Court?

If he so much as stepped foot within, his mere presence might crush a whole lot of people beneath its weight.
