Faced with such an earth-shattering offensive, the King of Knights and Avril both showed a drastic change in their expression.

 

Blood drained from their faces, betraying their shock.

 

It was not an attack that any living being could withstand.

 

At this moment, they felt as if they were standing against the world itself.

 

And at the world’s edge…

 

*Whoooo, whoooo…* One tornado after another howled their arrival, twisting into Wind Dragons spanning thousands of meters.

 

They raised their heads and roared.

 

*Rooooooaar…* Their deafening roars only served to amplify the sheer terror of the incoming force.

 

Simply because, at this moment, even Yu Zi Yu’s colossal body trembled slightly beneath the raging winds, as if seized by fear.

 

As the popular adage goes, ‘The Tree that stands above the rest will be the first to be felled by the wind.’

 

Though it was merely a proverb, it contained an undeniable truth within it. Wind was the natural enemy of Spirit Trees. More precisely, those who commanded storms were the nemesis of all Spirit Trees.

 

It was only natural.

 

After all, no matter how powerful a Spirit Tree may be, it could never stand firm against an unrelenting storm that knew no end.

 

And now, Yu Zi Yu, despite his overwhelming strength, was facing the ‘Wind of the World,’ summoned by the Imperial Artifact’s Sixteen Holy Wings.

 

Against the howling storms, even he could feel his True Body seemed to be trembling in fear. His countless branches got torn apart by the fierce winds, while his dense canopy shuddered uncontrollably.

 

To the King of Knights and Avril, he appeared to be afraid.

 

“Lord of Corruption!”

 

“Master…!”

 

Two voices rang out in unison, as the duo promptly channeled their Spiritual Energy and rushed toward Yu Zi Yu. They stood before him, ready to defend him.

 

However, before they could do anything…

 

*Boooom…* An invisible force suddenly swept them aside.

 

At that same moment…

 

“Hahahaha…!” A burst of laughter erupted from within the raging storm. A laughter filled with exhilaration. A laughter laced with uncontainable desire.

 

Fear? Terror? How could that be?

 

He was the Progenitor of Myriad Trees! A being whose very essence had long surpassed the limits of ordinary Spirit Trees, standing as a Higher-Grade Divine Tree!

 

A Divine Tree of his caliber, even when faced with tempests capable of tearing the world asunder, would still stand tall.

 

At this moment, he was consumed by pure, unadulterated excitement, for an unprecedented power was shattering Yu Zi Yu’s very understanding of the world.

 

A blazing fire burned deep within his eyes, while an electrifying thrill raced through his heart.

 

It felt as if his very blood had ignited, his body boiling with exhilaration.

 

His vast and bottomless Spiritual Energy roared like a tempest, howling through existence itself.

 

As it surged, the sound of crashing waves echoed from within him.

 

And in the next instant, much to the astonishment of the Imperial Artifact’s True Spirit, Yu Zi Yu’s colossal form, that seemed to be supporting the world, suddenly blazed with an awe-inspiring divine radiance, as if he had been draped in a cloak of starlight.

 

Then…

 

*Booooom, booooom, booooom…* His countless branches twisted and intertwined with each, shaping into mighty Dragons.

 

With earth-shaking roars, they surged forward, charging toward the Wind Dragons that had gathered at the horizon.

 

Those Wind Dragons were none other than the manifestation of the Imperial Artifact’s energy.

 

So long as they existed, the storm would never cease; instead, it would only grow stronger—relentlessly escalating—until it annihilated the entire world.

 

And now, countless intertwining branches of Yu Zi Yu had transformed into colossal Wood Dragons, surging forward in a grand charge toward the Wind Dragons at the edge of Heaven.

 

Looking up, the entire sky was shrouded in darkness.

 

Nothing could be heard, except the howls of the storm.

 

Nothing was visible, except the tide-like flood of Wood Dragons rushing toward the horizon.

 

*Booom…boooom…* One explosion after another echoed through Heaven, while Yu Zi Yu’s branches, in the form Wood Dragons, crumbled apart, fragile like the candles flickering in the wind, even before they reached the Wind Dragons gathered at the horizon.

 

*Creak…creak…* Amid the shattering sounds, echoing like mournful wails, the Wood Dragons came to a staggering halt, one after another.

 

“Your power… is still not enough.” Remarked the True Spirit of the Imperial Artifact, his face laced with amusement and a hint of interest.

 

“Oh… is that so?” A light chuckle escaped Yu Zi Yu, but he did not seem concerned, because this was only the beginning.

 

The next moment…

 

*Rooooooaar…* A sudden Dragon Roar resonated through the battlefield, and then, much to the Imperial Artifact True Spirit’s astonishment, something unbelievable began to unfold.

 

The shattered Wood Dragons began reassembling. One after another, their bodies recovered.

 

Only this time, they were even larger. Once merely 100 meters long, now, they had expanded to a full 1,000 meters.

 

“What…!?” The True Spirit’s eyes narrowed, a flicker of astonishment flashed on his face.

 

“Your power… this…”

 

“Hahaha…!” A booming laugh erupted from Yu Zi Yu, his voice carrying an undeniable confidence.

 

Finally, he no longer concealed his strength, and declared in an open and straightforward manner, “My Innate Talent is none other than Everlasting Life. So long as Spiritual Energy flow in my body, I’ll never wither!”

 

The moment his words fell, the reborn Wood Dragons threw back their heads and roared. Then, with renewed ferocity, they once again lunged toward the Wind Dragons at the sky’s edge.

 

*Booooom, booooom…* Thunderous claps filled the sky as the Wood Dragons clashed against the Wind Dragons, while fearsome shockwaves rippled across the entire Small World, in succession.

 

The very clouds in the sky were scattered apart, and the roars of their clashes, like the thunder of the Ninth Heaven, shook the very fabric of the world.

 

However, it was far from over.

 

Because in the next moment…

 

*Booooom, booooom…*

 

One after another, a ferocious battle unfolded in the sky as the countless Wood Dragons of Yu Zi Yu and the Wind Dragons entwined with each other, locked in heated combat like True Dragon.

 

Their forms twisted and coiled around each other, clashing violently in the sky.

 

*Rooooaar…*

 

*Rooooaar…*

 

Mighty roars of Dragons shook the world, until the entire Eden was engulfed in the roars of Dragons.

 

“Tsk…I truly underestimated this Junior…” A murmur of admiration escaped the True Spirit. His gaze upon Yu Zi Yu gleamed with newfound intrigue.

 

Even though the ‘Wind of the World’ was only a fraction—less than a millionth—of his full power, it was still an attack launched by him, an Imperial Artifact. It was strong enough to terrify even some of the Hegemons. And yet, a mere half-step Hegemon before him was actually able to withstand it.
