As far as the eye could see, figures dropped to their knees one after another.

 

The Demon Emperor was untouchable

 

After decades of constant instruction, they knew he was supreme, even if they were seeing him for the first time.

 

*Heh heh…* Chuckling to himself, Yu Zi Yu shifted his gaze toward the two figures standing foremost in the hall.

 

Nine Tails and Golden Monkey, the two great pillars of the Demon Court. It was these two who primarily oversaw the vast territories of the Demon Court, stretching across tens of millions of miles.

 

“Give me a brief overview of the Demon Court’s situation in recent years.”

 

“Yes, Demon Emperor.” Golden Monkey stepped forward and answered, “At present, the Demon Court is the undisputed number-one power of the Western Sector. All major Races and sects now follow the Demon Court’s lead.

 

Races such as the Angel Clan and the Titan Clan even send gifts year-round, much like offering tribute…

 

Moreover, compared to decades ago, the Demon Court’s territory has expanded more than threefold, now exerting influence over more than three hundred galaxies…”

 

Golden Monkey, the Demon Court’s Imperial Tutor, gave a brief overview of the Demon Court’s current situation.

 

It was largely as Yu Zi Yu had anticipated: The rise of the Demon Court was now unstoppable. It already possessed the momentum of a grand, flourishing force.

 

Not just within the Western Sector, even across the other four Sectors, few forces could truly contend with it.

 

Of course, powerful as it was, there were still some ‘rats’ lurking in the shadows. The remnants of the Elemental Clan, survivors of the Netherborns…occasionally resurfaced.

 

Although they were insignificant, they were a constant nuisance…

 

“These remnants…” Yu Zi Yu let out a light chuckle and issued an order, “If possible, wipe them out completely. At the very least, I don’t want to see their shadows within the Demon Court’s territory.”

 

“Yes, Demon Emperor.” Golden Monkey replied firmly, a resolute glint flashing within his eyes.

 

[It seems it’s finally time to root them out. I had originally spared them as fodder for the new generation, but now that the Demon Emperor has spoken, they have outlived their usefulness.]

 

Just then, as if recalling something, Golden Monkey took the initiative to ask, “Reporting to the Demon Emperor—how should we handle the Heavenly Court? In recent years, we’ve discovered several Heavenly Court hideouts. If we act now…”

 

Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed, as a terrifying killing intent swept through the entire hall, causing the air itself to turn icy.

 

“Heavenly… Court…” A frighteningly cold voice escaped Yu Zi Yu, his eyes flickering non-stop.

 

[The time has come to settle our accounts with the Heavenly Court. However, this is not a task for the Golden Monkey or the others; I must intervene personally. Unlike the scattered remnants of the Elemental Clan, the Heavenly Court is a titan lurking in the shadows. Despite the Demon Court’s relentless assaults, their foundation remains unshaken. I have no choice—I must step onto the battlefield myself]

 

The corner of Yu Zi Yu’s lips rose, tracing a chilling arc, as he sneered, “You don’t need to worry about the Heavenly Court. I’ll deal with them myself!”

 

Hearing his proclamation, the figures present could not help but freeze for a moment, because when those words were spoken by the Demon Emperor, they carried such bone-chilling finality that they sent a shiver down everyone’s spine.

 

“If the Demon Emperor acts personally, the Heavenly Court is as good as finished.”

 

“Hmph. That Heavenly Court has opposed our Demon Court time and again—now it’s finally time to end it…”

 

Cold laughter echoed one after another, and the entire hall began to stir with excitement.

 

But moments later, as Yu Zi Yu waved his hand, all the voices were silenced. He then shifted his gaze toward Nine Tails. “And how fares our Demon Court internally?”

 

Golden Monkey governed external affairs; Nine Tails oversaw internal matters.

 

Each handled their own domain without interference, yet the system worked in unexpected harmony.

 

Now, upon hearing Yu Zi Yu’s question, Nine Tails, who had transformed into a peerless beauty, gave a beautiful smile as a gentle breeze lifted her veil, before replying, “Reporting to the Demon Emperor, our Demon Court is now overflowing with talent. The Immortal Sweet Osmanthus—Moon Princess has already stepped into the Half-Step Hegemon Realm. As for this humble one, I too reached the Half-Step Hegemon Realm not long ago…

 

And although Dark King has yet to break through to the Half-Step Hegemon Realm, his combat strength already rivals one…”

 

As she reported, Nine Tails’ lips curled into a prideful smile.

 

[Even in Master’s absence, the Demon Court has never ceased to grow.

 

Today, we already possess four Half-Step Hegemons—a lineup that does not fall short of any great power in the universe.

 

A single Half-Step Hegemon is enough to preside over a major Force. The matriarchs of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, figures whose names resound across the ages, are themselves only at that level. Yet within our Demon Court alone, there are already four—myself and Osmanthus, alongside Dark King and Slytherin.

 

And in truth… the number should be higher.

 

Fifth Brother should already possess battle power comparable to a Half-Step Hegemon. As for Zi Lian—Master’s silent shadow within the Void—he, too, is likely standing at that same threshold.

 

If these two are counted, then our Demon Court commands six Half-Step Hegemons.

 

At that point, even if we were to wage war against the Dragon and Phoenix Clans together, we would not necessarily fall into a disadvantage.

 

Of course… that is without accounting for Imperial Artifacts.

 

At present, what the Demon Court lacks most is precisely this— true foundational treasures capable of suppressing an era.]

 

Thinking of this, Nine Tails could not help but sigh softly, “If only our Demon Court had Imperial Artifacts of that caliber… we would have been standing at the very peak of the universe…”

 

Hearing her sigh, Yu Zi Yu merely smiled without speaking.

 

[It’s not like the Demon Court doesn’t have Imperial Artifacts.

 

It’s just that they can’t be revealed.

 

We’ve the Sixteen Holy Wings, but they belong to the Angel Clan. If they are exposed, they would surely invite unnecessary trouble.

 

But even if we’re lacking Imperial Artifacts, so what!?]

 

With a confident smile, Yu Zi Yu declared boldly, “Even without foundations such as Imperial Artifacts, it doesn’t matter…”

 

As he spoke, a smile tugged at the corner of his lips, and he affirmed in a firm and resolute voice, “I alone am the greatest foundation…Enough to suppress all ages.”

 

As his words fell, one figure after another in the hall trembled slightly.

 

Then, expressions of excitement bloomed across their faces.

 

Indeed, the current Demon Emperor was the undisputed number one in the universe, and was more than enough to rival the foundation of any great power.

 

One could even say, the Demon Emperor himself was the Demon Court’s most terrifying ‘living foundation’.

 

If fully unleashed, the entire cosmos would quake in response.
