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

 

Hearing this, a faint smile presented itself upon Yu Zi Yu’s lips.

 

The peerless prodigy of the Kun Peng Clan, who was only a Half-Step Hegemon, had managed to push his strength on the level of a true Hegemon by just relying on a single Grand Divine Ability.

 

So, what about someone like Yu Zi Yu, whose strength was already shocking beyond measure, who commanded multiple grand Divine Abilities?

 

Just how terrifying he would be?

 

Moreover, unlike the Kun Peng Art, which was a pure offensive art, Yu Zi Yu’s Nine Realms of Heaven was truly an integration of offense and defense.

 

Furthermore, it was one with him; their prosperity and fall was bound to each other.

 

Half of any attack Yu Zi Yu suffered could be transferred directly to the nine realms.

 

And that was merely its defensive aspect.

 

When it came to offense, the Nine Realms of Heaven was no less fearsome.

 

Because when they smashed at someone, what was being hurtled was not merely a planet, but a complete Small World, which was capable of shattering the Heavens, and annihilating everything.

 

It was not much inferior to a true Imperial Artifact.

 

In fact, Yu Zi Yu would not even mind letting the Nine Realms of Heaven collide head-on with Imperial Artifacts like the Vajra Ring or the Grand Thunderclap Monastery, just to see which one was harder.

 

Of course, Yu Zi Yu dared to think this way because he possessed absolute confidence.

 

The star he had just hurled was wrapped in boundless lightning. It was none other than the Realm of Lightning.

 

As for why he dared to clash the Realm of Lightning head-on with Imperial Artifacts, that was because of Yu Zi Yu’s Tenth Divine Beast—the Lightning Dragon.

 

And the Lightning Dragon had devoured the Lightning Elemental Fruit bestowed by Yu Zi Yu, and through the Elemental Fruits, he could steal their cultivation insights.

 

No, it couldn’t be called stealing, it should be sharing.

 

After all, how could it be called stealing if it was happening between the family.

 

Besides, Yu Zi Yu had already informed them in advance and given more than sufficient compensation.

 

What truly surprised him was that Lightning Dragon, the Butterfly of Light, and the others who had consumed the Elemental Fruits were not only unafraid, but were delighted.

 

They even said, “It is our blessing to be able to help our Master.”

 

They considered it a blessing, their fortune.

 

Even in such a scenario, they were filled with gratitude toward Yu Zi Yu, and this made him slightly uncomfortable.

 

However, that was beside the point.

 

The important thing was that the Realm of Lightning had far surpassed the other realms in sheer might precisely because the Lightning Dragon had stepped into the Half-Step Hegemon Realm, comprehending the Dao of Lightning.

 

Through this, Yu Zi Yu was able to draw analogies and grasp a portion of his own Dao of Lightning.

 

That fragment of enlightenment, combined with his own understanding of the Lightning Divine Tree, had ultimately caused the Realm of Lightning to undergo a true transformation.

 

It had come to shoulder a complete Principle of Lightning..

 

And now, the Realm of Lightning stood only a single step away from the legendary Great World.

 

With such a foundation, how could it not be terrifying?

 

This was a world bearing a complete Principle, a world in itself, yet the extreme of lightning.A realm unto itself, the absolute extreme of lightning.

 

When smashed down, it was as though an entire world of lightning had struck, obliterating everything in its path.

 

Yu Zi Yu felt a genuine surge of delight.

 

[This… This is what a true Grand Divine Ability should be like.]

 

The Grand Divine Abilities, even newly born ones, could not possibly be inferior to the rest. Each had its own mysteries. Each had its own divine might.

 

However, they all shared one thing in common: They were terrifying beyond imagination.

 

Even though Yu Zi Yu’s mastery of the Nine Realms of Heaven had only reached the intermediate-level, it already possessed world-shaking might.

 

Just one strike of the Realm of Lightning had forced even the Vajra Ring back.

 

A single palm, empowered by five Small Worlds, had utterly destroyed the Black Emperor, whose strength had already reached the level of Hegemons.

 

Divine might without bounds.

 

Unrivaled beneath the Heavens.

 

This was the Yu Zi Yu of today.

 

The undisputed number one in the universe.

 

…

 

After hiding his edge for hundreds of years, he had finally revealed a sliver of his true brilliance within the Heavenly Court’s secret realm.

 

“That is… a Grand Divine Ability I have never seen before…”

 

A sudden, trembling murmur escaped the True Spirit of Vajra Ring, who had finally recognized it.

 

However, even as these words left its mouth, it itself scarcely dared to believe them.

 

Never seen before, what did that imply?

 

It dared not think about it, nor did it want to.

 

Because at this moment, the True Spirit of the Imperial Artifact Vajra Ring had already realized something terrifying: The Demon Emperor was even more terrifying than anything they had ever understood or anticipated.

 

…

 

Just then, as if struck by a sudden thought, the White Emperor in the distance suddenly roared, “Demon Emperor… you have mastered a complete Grand Divine Ability! In that case, how could the Void Hegemon possibly be your match?”

 

Even though Heavenly Court had not directly participated in the battle against the Void, they knew all too well that several decades ago, the Demon Emperor and the Void Hegemon had fought a world-shaking battle.

 

To the world, that battle had supposedly ended in mutual grievous injury!

 

And if the Demon Emperor truly possessed a complete Grand Divine Ability, how could he have been wounded?

 

Others might not know, but how could Heavenly Court, whose inheritance spanned countless ages, not know?

 

Cultivating a Grand Divine Ability and not cultivating one are completely different concepts.

 

More importantly, the Demon Emperor had already achieved Seventh Order in Physical Evolution, and even his cultivation might have very well stepped into the Realm of Hegemony.

 

In such a state, he could truly unleash the apocalyptic might of a Grand Divine Ability, like shattering Heaven and Earth, forcing back an Imperial Artifact with a flick of his hand, and even erase Hegemon-level Existences with a single attack.

 

With such Heaven-defying strength, how could he possibly lose to the Void Hegemon?

 

How could he have been injured?

 

“Who told you… that he could defeat me?”

 

Suddenly, peals of laughter echoed across the firmament as Yu Zi Yu slowly raised his palm.

 

*Boooooom…* Amid swirling nebulae, nine stars were already circling in his palm. Boundless starlight surged and flowed around him, setting him off like a God of the Universe, granting him an air of mystery and terror.

 

“I never said that the Void Hegemon was my opponent…

 

Nor did I ever say that he could injure me in the slightest!”

 

Declaration after declaration echoed, his tone carrying a hint of amusement.

 

And with it, the expressions of the remaining figures of Heavenly Court changed drastically, for at this moment, they had already begun to vaguely realize the truth…

 

What they did not know, however, was that Yu Zi Yu’s words still held back far more than they revealed.

 

For instance, he never said that the Void Hegemon was actually one of his own Avatars.

 

And that was naturally something he couldn’t reveal.

 

Even with the victory in his bag, Yu Zi Yu would never allow himself to be arrogant.

 

False within truth, and truth within false, that was the way of the true king.

 

From the moment he displayed his Grand Divine Ability before Heavenly Court, Yu Zi Yu had never intended for any of them to leave this secret realm alive.

 

Only the dead could keep secrets forever.

 

Even an Imperial Artifact was no exception.
