Powerhouses from all corners of the universe were currently gathered at the Demon Court.

 

And now, under the watchful gazes of these powerhouses, one after another, its Marquises, Generals, and Kings began to move.

 

It faintly smacks of expansion.

 

“Ever since the Demon Emperor’s return, the Demon Court seems far more emboldened… They don’t even bother concealing their intent to expand anymore.”

 

“Of course. His Majesty the Demon Emperor is the strongest existence beneath the Heavens.”

 

“True enough. In this world, strength reigns supreme. Since the Demon Emperor is strong, it is only natural for him to seize greater resources…”

 

…

 

Whispers rippled through the Celestial Realm, as many powerhouses’ eyes flickered with unease.

 

Everyone understood well enough the reason for the Demon Court’s frenzy, for its champions moving as though their blood burned with fire.

 

However, understanding changed nothing.

 

The Demon Court’s expansion was inevitable.

 

To block them was impossible. To advise against it was…suicidal.

 

And truth be told, the Demon Court of today was truly terrifying.

 

Even the mighty Titan Clan and the Angel Clan had willingly bowed as vassals and claws beneath its throne.

 

…

 

At that moment, in the depths of the Realm of Life, Yu Zi Yu sat quietly by a stone table, weaving Formations. Suddenly, his hands paused, his gaze shifting slightly toward the approaching sound of delicate steps.

 

There, as though walking out of a painted scroll, the Elf Queen, his personal attendant, could be seen approaching, her every step teeming with grace soft as moonlight.

 

“Master… Bull Demon, Ling Er, and the others have all begun to act.

 

As for the Gods and the Buddhist Sect we’ve been monitoring, they have shown no sign of movements, it’s entirely calm…”

 

“…”

 

Listening silently, Yu Zi Yu lifted a finger, and using a wine droplet as a piece upon a starry chessboard, made a gentle tap. Immediately, with this single move, the entire Formation dimmed.

 

“Calm… is not good. More likely, it is the calm before the storm.”

 

His voice was slow and calm, yet his eyes carried unfathomable depth.

 

In fact, a faint image of a clock and a rhombus-shaped crystal could also be seen shimmering within his eyes.

 

Then, before the astonished eyes of the Elf Queen, Yu Zi Yu’s tall figure, cloaked in pristine white, began to shift.

 

A purple color slowly crept over his entire being, and six wings, glowing with an amethyst sheen, unfurled behind his back.

 

*Boooooom…* With a beat of his wings, violet ripples spread through the air, spiraling within ten meters around him.

 

*Boooom…Boooom…Boooom…* A cacophony of resounding echoes filled the air as a massive sphere of violet energy, ten meters wide, swallowed Yu Zi Yu whole.

 

At this moment, a dreadful and palpitating aura surging from within the violet sphere, as if an apex predator at the very summit of the food chain was gazing upon them.

 

It would make anyone’s body turn cold, and their breath stilled.

 

*Thud…* A single step fell, but it felt as if it landed directly upon one’s chest.

 

Even the Elf Queen, who had reached Tier-6, could not help but shudder.

 

Lifting her gaze, her vision was occupied by a figure shrouded in violet.

 

The figure was tall, and its features were obscured. Six wings stretched from its back, each trailing feathers like plumes of a Phoenix.

 

A tangible and suffocating pressure rolled from it, forbidding even the thought of breath.

 

Despite all her strength, the Elf Queen felt her lungs seized and her chest locked tight.

 

“So this… is a Hegemon who transcends all within the Void…” She was horribly shaken. She had attended Yu Zi Yu for a long time. She knew him pretty well.

 

However, this visage of her Master left her shaken to the core.

 

[It’s like they are two completely different people. Not just the face, but the auras… Not to mention, that incomprehensible and otherworldly presence…]

 

[Master, as the Demon Emperor, his presence is vast. No matter how much he tries to conceal it, he radiates an overwhelming aura that suppresses everyone in its wake. One can’t dare to look at him straight. But this one… his essence is not just overwhelming, but twisted. It is strange beyond words, as though he’s a living root of calamity. To look upon him is to feel your very soul teeter on the edge of abyssal ruin.]

 

“Unbelievable… utterly unbelievable…” Suppressing the tremors of her heart, the Elf Queen could scarcely believe her own eyes.

 

Just then…

 

A streak of violet intent surged forth, so swift that the Elf Queen had no time to react.

 

In her eyes it was but an instant, yet in that fleeting instant, the profound violet light had already engulfed her entire body.

 

“Do you like… this form of mine?” A voice, playful and tinged with amusement, whispered in her ears as a single finger lifted a strand of her green hair.

 

“I…” Her pupils trembled, betraying her tension.

 

But before she could speak…

 

*Boooom…* With a thunderous roar, the sea of violet light retreated like a reversed tide, collapsing back into Yu Zi Yu’s body.

 

And with it, his figure withdrew step by step, fading…

 

Only then did the Elf Queen realize. Yu Zi Yu’s True Form had long been standing in the distance.

 

What she had just seen was nothing more than a phantom.

 

…

 

“The stillness of the Myriad Races… does not please me. It is time to stir a storm far more violent.” A faint chuckle escaped Yu Zi Yu, as his eyes gleamed with a violet glow, appearing as two violet abysses, bottomless as black holes.

 

“Master… are you planning to make a move again?” Sensing his intent, the Elf Queen asked softly, curiosity dancing in her eyes.

 

“Of course.” Giving his affirmation, Yu Zi Yu took a step forward.

 

“The Demon Court will be left in your care… I will be gone.”

 

“Yes, Master.”

 

She bowed in response, quietly watching as Yu Zi Yu vanished.

 

Only when the wheel of time and space had erased the last trace of violet from her vision did she finally lift her gaze toward the nearby bamboo grove.

 

*Boooom…*

 

With a wave of her hand, endless green spilled forth. life force surging like spring rain, washing over every leaf and stalk.

 

Her Master cherished this tranquil grove of bamboo dearly.

 

Until his return, she would see to its preservation.

 

And more than that, during this time, she must wield her Master’s mantle, issuing commands, concealing from outsiders the fact that ‘the Lord’ had already departed from the Demon Court.

 

This was her duty.

 

The same duty that fell upon her and Mermaid Queen alike.

 

As personal attendants, they were far from mere ornaments.

 

In both cultivation and talent, their standing among the stars was supreme.

 

And having spent so long by their Master’s side, their understanding of him was profound. They were comparable to the most trusted secretaries of Earth… and not just any secretaries, but ones with particularly close relationships.
