Just then, as though sensing something, Yu Zi Yu’s draconic eyes suddenly swiveled and fixed on the distance…

 

There, several Overlords of the Buddhist Sect were riding streaks of divine radiance, surging toward the Void Gate.

 

“*Hmph!* You actually dare…”  With a cold sneer, Yu Zi Yu’s form shifted once more, transforming back into his six-winged Humanoid figure, shooting toward the Void Gate.

 

The Void Gate was the very keystone determining whether Void Creatures could return home.

 

If the Void Gate was destroyed, 99% of the vast army Yu Zi Yu commanded would be stranded in the Buddha Realm forever.

 

That was something Yu Zi Yu would never allow.

 

Thus, with a fierce flap of his six wings, Yu Zi Yu transformed into a streak of violet light. In the next instant, he flashed past the Overlords of the Buddhist Sect one after another, leaving them startled.

 

“So fast…” The Buddhist Overlords cried out in alarm, the corners of their eyes twitching constantly.

 

[How can that monster be so fast!? In just the blink of an eye, he had crossed tens of thousands of kilometers, and arrived directly before the portal?!]

 

“What a monster…” A Buddhist powerhouse could not help but sigh inwardly. However, before he could even steady his thoughts, he noticed the Tier-6 Buddhist, already near the gate, suddenly jolt.

 

And then, under countless horrified gazes, that Tier-6 was struck by the violet beam head-on and shattered into dust in a single blow, his body and Soul erased from the face of this world.

 

*Gulp…*

 

As the Buddhist Powerhouses gulped hard, one after another, they finally remembered, this being was a true Hegemon, and not the kind like the Heaven-Connecting Divine Tree, who excelled at defense, but an extremely terrifying Void Hegemon, whose power lay in pure offense.

 

…

 

<Ding! You killed a Tier-6 Lifeform…?>

 

Ignoring the voice that echoed in his mind, Yu Zi Yu surged straight to the Void Gate.

 

The Void Gate was vital beyond all measure and could not be lost.

 

Thus…

 

“Shrinking and Enlarging at Will…” Yu Zi Yu murmured to himself, and immediately, his six-winged form began to expand rapidly.

 

In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a ginormous version of himself. His feet were planted on the ground, and his head was brushing against the skies, crowned by a canopy of dense violet clouds. Standing hundreds of thousands feet tall, he had become a cosmic giant in the truest sense.

 

The Minor Divine Ability, Shrinking and Enlarging at Will, was among the first techniques Yu Zi Yu had mastered to the advanced level. While shrinking, he could not shrink to the size of a speck of dust, and when enlarging, he could grow as huge as a planet.

 

While it lacked the overwhelming might of Divine Abilities that mimicked the Heaven-and-Earth Phenomenon, it excelled in versatility.

 

And now, with his right hand, Yu Zi Yu lifted the entire Void Gate upon his palm.

 

“Come, then… Let’s see who among you dares break this gate while I stand here…” His tone was wild and arrogant. He did not speak aloud, but conveyed them telepathically, making every Buddhist understand its meaning.

 

“You…” Enraged roars burst forth, and one after another, Buddhist powerhouses flushed with fury.

 

This was provocation, naked and absolute provocation.

 

However, there was nothing they could do.

 

They had just witnessed him strike a Tier-6 dead with a single slap. And that Tier-6, the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat, was famous for his indestructible body, yet he was unable to last even a breath.

 

Were it not for the two Imperial Artifacts restraining Yu Zi Yu at this very moment, not a single one of them would even dare face this monster.

 

“Demon! This sacred ground of the Buddhist Sect is no place for you to run wild in!” With a thunderous shout, the True Buddha, the Palm Buddha, gripping the broken branch of the Seven Jewel Tree, finally stepped forward.

 

*Boooooom…* The Heavens trembled as his foot descended.

 

Dazzling, sacred Buddhist light erupted from him, scattering the violet clouds that blanketed the skies, bringing a faint glimmer of dawn to this shrouded, oppressive world.

 

More importantly, at the very instant this True Buddha set foot forward, the Great Thunderclap Monastery, which Yu Zi Yu had previously forced back, resonated once again.

 

It expanded without limit, pressing down upon Yu Zi Yu anew.

 

However, this time, Yu Zi Yu could neither dodge nor withstand head-on, for he was propping up the Void Gate with his right hand.

 

In order to protect the Void Gate from destruction, Yu Zi Yu had no other choice.

 

*Booooom… Booooom…* A crushing oppression came bearing down on him.

 

In fact, the Great Thunderclap Monastery had not even fallen upon him, yet an unspeakable weight already bore down upon Yu Zi Yu’s colossal body.

 

*Crack… crack…* The earth beneath his feet split open, and his towering form sank steadily.

 

Though the Great Thunderclap Monastery was not forged for offense, its suppressive force was terrifying beyond measure.

 

However, it did not make any difference.

 

With a cold smile tugging at his lips, Yu Zi Yu’s voice rang out, arrogant, domineering, reverberating through the Buddha Realm, “Even as I shoulder the Great Thunderclap Monastery… and bear the dimensional gate upon one hand… what of it? I… remain invincible under the Heavens!”

 

Just as his words fell, the entire Buddha Realm fell silent.

 

An oppressive, deathly stillness blanketed all. One Buddhist powerhouse after another froze, their hearts seized in terror, their eyes fixed upon that impossibly upright, unyielding figure.

 

And before they could even recover from the shock…

 

*Boooooom…* Another deafening roar shook the Buddha Realm, and Yu Zi Yu, whose body had been bending under the weight, slowly started to straighten up.

 

Step by step, he forced his colossal frame upright, bracing against the crushing weight of the Great Thunderclap Monastery.

 

At this moment, if one looked closely into Yu Zi Yu’s eyes, they would notice an Azure Dragon swimming within their depths.

 

That was the Azure Dragon, also known as the Dragon of Heavenly Dao. It was Yu Zi Yu’s Third Form.

 

Now, thanks to the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, Yu Zi Yu drew upon this mysterious existence’s power.

 

The result exceeded even Yu Zi Yu’s imagination.

 

An unimaginable strength surged into him, brimming with boundless vitality. It caused his body to recover again and again, until at last, the fearsome figure stood tall once more, chest broadened, stature unyielding.

 

The Great Thunderclap Monastery pressed down upon his crown. The Void Gate, 100,000 meters tall, rested in his left hand. However, Yu Zi Yu’s face remained composed, unshaken.

 

“You… is this all you can do…?” Almost in mockery, Yu Zi Yu’s right hand rose. Slowly, inexorably, reaching toward the figure who stood upon the shadow of the Buddha Kingdom, that so-called True Buddha.
