“This is an exceptionally pure World Heart…” Yu Zi Yu praised in his heart; he could not hide his satisfaction.

 

A treasure of this grade was truly rare.

 

With this World Heart, the foundation of his Ultimate Dao Body was, at last, secured.

 

His gaze then shifted to the second treasure, the Space Crystal.

 

Lifting his eyes slightly, he focused on the rhombus-shaped crystal hovering before him, an illusory crystal of translucent light. The corner of his lips curled slightly.

 

Space Crystals did not naturally exist in the universe. They were formed only when space itself shattered, condensing into formless, intangible essence.

 

Only through a rare accident could they appear in the universe, manifesting as a crystalline matter.

 

Such a treasure was not priceless because of some extraordinary power, but because of scarcity.

 

One needed to have immense fortune to come across it.

 

Yu Zi Yu had never expected an expert of the Phoenix Clan to be in possession of one.

 

However, the moment Nine Tails learned he required it, she had persistently negotiated with that expert, trading away resources several times more precious to obtain it.

 

This was the privilege of having a large Force; he only needed to speak, and others would make it happen.

 

If he had been alone, collecting these two treasures would have taken a millennium, if not tens of millennia.

 

A surge of elation rose within him, feeling proud of the formidable Force he had managed to build.

 

[Now that the two most crucial treasures have been secured, it’s time to begin forging the Ultimate Dao Body.] With that thought, Yu Zi Yu stepped forward and walked into another spacetime dimension. space.

 

*Boooom…* With a thunderous roar, light and shadow interweaved, making everything seem speed up.

 

And in the next instant, Yu Zi Yu vanished from the palace entirely.

 

As far as seclusion was concerned, there was no place safer than an alternate dimension.

 

Isolated by another timeline, and obstructed by another fabric of space, even a Hegemon would struggle to find him.

 

And even if someone did manage to find him, Yu Zi Yu could react instantly.

 

This sanctuary was far safer than the Nine Realms.

 

In fact, if not for the irreversible harm on others caused by prolonged exposure of another time and space, he would have brought Nine Tails and the rest here as well.

 

“A pity,” he murmured, heaving a soft sigh.

 

Then, he reverted back to his Original Form.

 

*Booooom, boooom, boooom…* Accompanied by deafening rumbles, his branches spread far and wide, stretching into the depths of time and space as if they were boundless. At the same time, his roots turned into true Dragons, looking up at the Heavens and roaring.

 

At this moment, if one could catch a glimpse at Yu Zi Yu’s current form, they would find it utterly terrifying.

 

Nine stars transformed into a vast nebula, swirling around his colossal trunk….

 

His branches, resembling divine chains, swayed through the void…

 

His roots, resembling Dragons, roared toward the sky…

 

Behind him, a vast world, resembling a scroll, constantly unfolded behind him, seemingly without end.

 

And that was not all…

 

A closer look revealed a vast, illusory river, spiralling from bottom to top.

 

This was a tributary of the River of Time.

 

Its presence meant that Yu Zi Yu could already command a portion of time.

 

And where time existed, space naturally followed.

 

Ripples shimmered as his entire form became hazy.

 

However, within that haze, faint silhouettes of an Azure Dragon and a Purple Dragon could be seen intertwining with each other, coiling above his crown.

 

The entire sight was majestic, mysterious, and terrifying beyond measure.

 

This was the most frightening lifeform in the universe today, without a question.

 

A masterpiece, as though crafted by the Creator himself.

 

No, even the Creator himself would struggle to shape such a flawless lifeform, because this existence had, in some sense, already begun to possess the potential of a Creator.

 

And that… was the truly terrifying part.

 

With a faint smile, Yu Zi Yu could not help feeling a stir of emotion at his own current monstrosity.

 

“But this is only the beginning.”

 

The corners of his lips rose slightly, as his branches swayed.

 

In the next heartbeat…

 

*Booooom…* Dazzling treasure-light erupted one after another, shooting into the Heavens as countless treasures floated around Yu Zi Yu.

 

Unending rows of Spirit Herbs and Flowers stretched below, while the World Heart and Space Crystal floated right above them.

 

However, they were still lacking the most crucial ingredient, the embryo, something Yu Zi Yu had possessed already.

 

Long ago on Planet Elysia, Yu Zi Yu had been fortunate enough to discover a sacred relic of the Elf Clan, the Tree of Life.

 

It had once served as the Azure Dragon’s Dao-Protecting Artifact, but after the Azure Dragon’s death and dissolution, the Tree of Life had returned to Yu Zi Yu’s hands.

 

And now…

 

“Come forth…” As he shouted, space rippled before him, and a towering emerald tree, lush and ancient as if supporting the Heavens themselves, rose from the ground.

 

If one observed closely at it, they would notice dazzling green light shimmering within its trunk.

 

From afar, it resembled a glowing orb.

 

But if one looked closely, they would notice what it really was, an embryo.

 

This was the perfect Elf Embryo nurtured by the Tree of Life, birthed using half of its own divine power.

 

It was utterly pure and immaculate.

 

It was also the single most important component for Yu Zi Yu’s Ultimate Dao Body.

 

[With this perfect embryo, combined with One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, the Dao Body will be…]

 

*Zeze…* Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but grin, for the Ultimate Dao Body was now within his reach.

 

…

 

*Booooom… Booooom…Booooom…* Suddenly, the space trembled as a booming echo rolled across this isolated plane.

 

At the same time, a silver river of Spiritual Energy spiraled forth, wrapping around the embryo formed by the Tree of Life.

 

It was Spatial Spiritual Energy.

 

The Void Elf Form carried the essence of ‘Space,’ so refining it with Spatial Energy was the purest method.

 

As the silver currents surged around the embryo, the surrounding treasures melted under immense pressure, liquefying entirely, and then streamed into the embryo like flowing mercury, one by one.

 

However, even this was not the end.

 

“Use the invisible energy to shape the tangible form, and use the tangible things to support the invisible form…”

 

As he murmured, a strange, ineffable power began condensing within this fragment of time and space, as if his words were the law.

 

Before the naked eye, countless intricate runes descended one after another into the embryo.

 

This was the Third Level of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, Body Creation. It was a method to create the most perfect vessel, one so profound that even the Seraph Lineage of the Angel Clan once benefited from it.
