*Rooooaar…* A majestic and unrestrained Dragon roar reverberated across the sky.

 

With a single sweep of his claw, Yu Zi Yu seemed to seize hold of ten thousand meters of space itself—and in the next instant, that space was crushed to pieces.

 

Along with it came a spray of blood, for what Yu Zi Yu shattered was not merely space. It was every living being within that space.

 

<Ding. You killed a Tier-5 Lifeform…>

<Ding. You killed a Tier-4 Lifeform…>

…

 

That long-absent system prompt echoed in his ears, and Yu Zi Yu’s lips curved into a strange, subtle smile.

 

[You wanted to use me to move against my other identity. Well, in that case, you best be prepared to bear my wrath.]

 

…

 

*Boooooom…* A sudden thunderous boom erupted across the northeastern reaches of the Buddha Realm.

 

Looking up, one could see torrents of violet fire rain spewing across the skies.

 

Where it fell upon mountains, mountains were reduced to ravines.

 

Where it fell upon rivers, rivers were boiled away into mist.

 

However, what was even more terrifying was the shockwaves that swept everything in its path, erasing one Buddhist after another.

 

Yet such things were trivial.

 

What truly mattered was that such world-ending rain of violet fire was nothing more than the stray embers dripping from the figure coiled high in the Heavens, who had not even bothered to cast a proper glance below.

 

Even the faintest overflow of his energy was enough to shatter mountains and sundering rivers.

 

This… was the Hegemon who came from the deepest reaches of the Void.

 

*Boooom…Booooom…* Thunderclouds surged, and endless violet clouds engulfed the sky, drowning half the Buddha Realm beneath a pall of shadow.

 

And then…

 

*Crackle…* A colossal bolt of lightning split the Heavens apart, illuminating the horizon.

 

At the same time, the countless Buddhist Powerhouses beheld a monstrous head, vast as a city, rising into the sky. Its huge Dragon Scales, violet and abyssal, had a surge of violet flames pouring forth relentlessly. These Dragon Flames were extremely corrosive, devouring all it touched.

 

“Noooo…” A shrill scream tore through the throat of a Tier-5 Buddhist. He actually came in contact with just a little of the Violet Dragon Flame, which put him in so much agony that he couldn’t help but scream at the top of his lungs.

 

In fact, in the very next moment, he grits his teeth and hacked off his own arm.

 

Just a touch of that Dragon Flame had forced a Tier-5 to sever his own limb, this spoke volumes of how dreadful this Dragon Flame truly was.

 

Adding more to its dread, the Violet Dragon, still stretching endlessly, was ascending higher and higher, rushing straight toward the Imperial Artifact that floated high above, the Great Thunderclap Monastery.

 

*Boooooom…* As though rending Heaven and Earth itself, the Dragon’s colossal claw ripped space apart and crashed down upon the Imperial Artifact.

 

*Boooooom…*

 

Mighty as the Great Thunderclap Monastery was, it shuddered violently under the blow.

 

And before it could respond, the dreadful Violet Dragon reared back its head…

 

*Rooooaar…*

 

The sky shook with its roar, as a Heaven-rending violet beam of light erupted from its maw, slamming into the Great Thunderclap Monastery with devastating force.

 

*Boooooom…*

 

Another deafening boom resounded, and even the sky-shrouding the Great Thunderclap Monastery was nearly overturned beneath the breath of that Violet Dragon.

 

“This… this is a true monster…” Bracing the palpitation of their hearts, countless Buddhist Powerhouses stared in shock at the colossal Violet Dragon suppressing the Great Thunderclap Monastery, their minds numb.

 

[Are you kidding me!? Am I seeing this right!? An Imperial Artifact, out greatest legacy, is being pressed down, unable to resist?!]

 

Everyone was unable to believe their eyes. Of course, part of it was because the Great Thunderclap Monastery was not built for offense. Had it been another Imperial Artifact, it might already have been locked in a life-and-death struggle with Yu Zi Yu’s True Dragon Form until dawn.

 

…

 

“This really has torn the Heavens asunder…” Gasps of shock spread through the crowd. Many Buddhist experts knew now that the matter had spiraled beyond control.

 

[Even the Great Thunderclap Monastery couldn’t subdue this monster from the Void. How are we supposed to fight this? Fortunately, this is the only battlefield where we’re on the backfoot.]

 

In all the other battlefronts, their Buddhist Sect still held the upper hand.

 

After all, they were a terrifying power whose legacy spanned across countless eras. Every one of their Overlords was unmatched among their peers. Even a Void Emperor as mighty as Arsenal was struggling against a self-proclaimed Ageless Sage.

 

Elsewhere, the Third Void King, the bearer of the title Envy, was besieged by a host of Arhats.

 

Among them, the Dragon Tamer Arhat struck with such ferocity that the Third Void King was given no room to breathe.

 

“In both peak combatants and sheer numbers, we’re simply not on the same level…” Sighing in her heart, Avril realized that they had been far too arrogant.

 

[As expected of the Buddhist Sect. They have so many Tier-6s that it feels as if they are some kind of bamboo, multiplying rapidly after rain. Leaving Master aside, all Original Sins combined make up only 6 Tier-6s, but the Buddhist Sect has as many as 20. What’s more, many more Tier-6s are still on their way.]

 

[One on one, we indeed hold the edge, but there are just too many on their side. Two fists can’t fend off four hands. Even with our eerie powers, we can’t withstand the endless tide of Buddhist Experts swarming us. But…]

 

As if struck by a thought, Avril arched her brows, as her gaze shifted eastward.

 

There, the terrifying existence from the deepest Void, the Soaring Purple Dragon, still held overwhelming dominance.

 

Even the Great Thunderclap Monastery, before him, was nothing but a target to be ravaged at will.

 

[How terrifying! How did the Void give birth to such a monster? And that too in this early era of Spiritual Energy Resurgence!? The birth of such a monster in this age is truly a disaster for every race in the universe.] Just as Avril was lost in her thoughts, a furious roar erupted.

 

“First, destroy the portal… Today, I will see them all buried here!” Like a wrathful Vajrapani, an elderly monk in orange Kasaya strode over with earth-shaking steps.

 

*Boooooom…* With each step, he shook the world.

 

A phantom of a majestic Buddha Kingdom could be seen unfolding across the firmament.

 

This was an Ancient Buddha, the Lord of the Buddha Realm, an existence beyond imagination.

 

He might not be a Hegemon, but he was not that far off.

 

And now, before all eyes, surging Buddha-flames blazed skyward, as his Spirit and essence climbed higher and higher without limit.

 

And if one looked closely at his hand, they would notice a broken branch of the glorious Imperial Artifact most dreaded by Yu Zi Yu: the Seven Jewel Tree. It was flickering constantly in his hand.
