“Surpassing the very limits of a realm… in other words, though the Void Purple Dragon remains at Tier-6, it already possesses the strength of a Tier-7…” murmuring softly, a faint smile appeared on Yu Zi Yu’s lips.

 

[That’s great!] Yu Zi Yu was pleased with this news.

 

After all, the stir caused by bearing a Supreme Principle was far too great, so great that it could shake not just the Void, but even the universe on the other side.

 

Such a loud display did not fit Yu Zi Yu’s principle of being low-key..

 

Besides, the Void already had a Hegemon suspected to wield a Supreme Principle. If another were to appear, it would utterly stun the Myriad Races of the cosmos.

 

While Yu Zi Yu wished that all races be wary of the Void and gradually unite against it, having the Void produce another Hegemon would not make them wary, but make them dread it.

 

Wariness and dread may sound just a bit different, but their consequences were worlds apart. Once the assumption of the balance of power between the two were broken, the chain reaction would spiral beyond even Yu Zi Yu’s control.

 

Thus… the Purple Dragon’s peculiarity of ‘surpassing its realm’ suited him perfectly.

 

“Still… transcendence is one thing. When it undergoes true metamorphosis, it is bound to create a loud noise…” Yu Zi Yu muttered again, falling into deep thought.

 

Through the subtle connection with the Purple Dragon, Yu Zi Yu discovered that its breakthrough was a cocooning process. It had formed a huge cocoon around itself in the deepest reaches of the Void, inside which its very existence was sublimating.

 

And in this process, resources would be of utmost importance. With sufficient resources, the Purple Dragon’s metamorphosis would be greatly hastened.

 

Furthermore, Yu Zi Yu did not have the luxury of waiting endlessly for the Purple Dragon’s breakthrough.

 

If it took too long, the fact that Yu Zi Yu was playing two roles at once would inevitably be exposed.

 

Only when the Void Purple Dragon had broken through, taken Humanoid Form, and clashed head-on with Yu Zi Yu’s other guise, the Demon Emperor, could those baseless suspicions be crushed completely.

 

Thus, the Purple Dragon’s breakthrough was not just necessary, it had to happen soon.

 

“I need to find treasures within the Void that are filled with potent Void Energy…” murmured Yu Zi Yu, as he was struck with an idea.

 

Though the Void was barren, it gave birth to Heaven and Earth Treasures every now and then. For instance, Formless had said that she had devoured a violet Spirit Herb while wandering aimlessly through the Void.

 

It was precisely that violet herb that helped her advance into Tier-6.

 

As he recalled this, Yu Zi Yu called out, “Avril, Zi Lian…”

 

“Yes, Boss…” came the immediate reply.

 

Despite being separated by millions of kilometers, their voices rang clearly in Yu Zi Yu’s ears.

 

“Pass down my command: let the Void Creatures scour for Heaven and Earth Treasures imbued with the Void Energy. Anyone who finds one, I’ll reward them generously.”

 

“Yes, Boss…” Answering in unison, the two instantly moved to carry out his order.

 

Though they had no idea why their Boss wanted such treasures, his word was law.

 

He was not only their Boss, he was their true Master.

 

…

 

However, just as Yu Zi Yu was giving his orders, another voice sounded in his ear, “Speaking of treasures with Void properties… during your seclusion, didn’t your Realm of Void nurture something akin to a world treasure?”

 

“What?” Stunned, Yu Zi Yu’s expression froze.

 

Since ending his seclusion, he had forgotten to check on the Nine Realms.

 

However, he vaguely remembered that Nine Tails had mentioned it to him before. But back then, he had been too busy adapting to his newfound strength to truly pay attention.

 

And now, hearing Anzuiel’s reminder…

 

*Ahem…* Yu Zi Yu forced a cough, masking his awkwardness, before offering a casual explanation, “Well… there were too many matters at hand, and I simply forgot.”

 

With that, he quickly changed the subject, “I’ll take a look now…”

 

As his words faded, Yu Zi Yu once more assumed Human Form and made his way into the Realm of Void.

 

The Realm of Void was one of Yu Zi Yu’s Nine Realms, and the most mysterious one at that. It was also infamous across the Demon Court as the ‘Land of Exile.’

 

Rumor had it that even Gods themselves could be banished there.

 

And this, in fact, was no rumor, but a fact.

 

After all, under Yu Zi Yu’s nurturing, this world was directly connected to the boundless Void, and was thus limitless, fathomless, and beyond comprehension.

 

And now…

 

*Boooom…* With a thunderous roar, a figure emerged within the endless expanse of the Void.

 

As he looked around, a world of bizarre and fantastical sights came into view.

 

The Void Energy, tinted violet, spread across Heaven and Earth. Dense violet clouds loomed across the sky, as if pressing down to crush the very sky. Even the ground beneath seemed imbued with an unfathomable violet hue.

 

However, at that moment, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, falling upon the very heart of this world.

 

There, he could see a ball of violet light pulsating brightly, with waves of purple light rippling across the Heaven in pulses.

 

Furthermore, a peculiar fragrance permeated the air.

 

“This is…” Startled, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed once more.

 

And in the next instant, a screen unfolded before him.\

 

Void Lotus (Tier-7) — A wondrous flower born in the deepest recesses of the Realm of Void, embodying the power of the Void. Not only can it greatly enhance one’s physical strength, but also vastly deepen one’s comprehension of the Void.   Note: For those who wield the Void Energy, it is a Divine Flower. For outsiders, it is deadly poison.

 

After reading through it, a faint smile graced upon Yu Zi Yu’s lips.

 

[What a pleasant surprise!? Who would have thought that the Nine Realms would give birth to a Divine Flower of this caliber.[

 

[If this Divine Flower is given to Purple Dragon, it could greatly accelerate its metamorphosis. And more than that, as a Tier-7 Spirit Flower, it undoubtedly harbors powers beyond imagination. If Purple Dragon can absorb it, it might even trigger a qualitative transformation.]

 

With a soft chuckle, Yu Zi Yu’s face lit up with unconcealed anticipation.

 

However, just then, as if noticing something, his gaze shifted.

 

And there, he spotted a figure sitting beneath the blooming violet lotus.

 

It was a girl, beautiful beyond comparison, quietly meditating. Her skin glistened with a violet luster, as if she was carved from amethyst. Her deep eyes sparkled like radiant amethysts, while her long violet hair cascaded like a waterfall, shimmering with an extraordinary brilliance.

 

She was the Primordial Elf of the Void Realm, the most mysterious among the nine Primordial Elves.

 

And now, this maiden, so beautiful that it seemed as if she had stepped out of a painting, sat silently, guarding the supreme treasure of the Realm of Void.
