Nevertheless, the price was worth it.

 

“In less than a decade, I will have the foundation to break through to the Seventh Order…” Yu Zi Yu could not help but softly chuckle, a trace of joy appearing in the depths of his eyes.

 

Tier-6, Seventh Order was equivalent to achieving the Realm of Dominion of the body itself.

 

At that point, Yu Zi Yu would reign supreme across the stars, becoming a peerless figure within the universe.

 

*Hahaha…* Breaking into a rare laugh, Yu Zi Yu raised his gaze and surveyed the Nine Realms.

 

The current Nine Realms were vastly different from what they once were. Once lush and vibrant, the vegetation had now withered away, leaving the land barren and desolate. The once-abundant Spiritual Energy, the lifeblood of these realms.

 

Though the scene was one of decline, as far Yu Zi Yu was concerned, it was worth the cost.

 

By draining the foundations of the Nine Realms to enrich a single realm, Yu Zi Yu’s strength had grown further.

 

The Tenth Realm was equivalent to his True Body.

 

The evolution of the Tenth Realm was tantamount to an enhancement of Yu Zi Yu’s physical form.

 

Now, if one looked closer at his True Body, they could even see depictions of mountains and rivers appearing on each of Yu Zi Yu’s branches.

 

That was the manifestation of the Tenth Realm.

 

With the power of the Tenth Realm backing him, a single strike from one of Yu Zi Yu’s branches would feel like the weight of ten thousand great mountains bearing down.

 

And if Yu Zi Yu channeled his Spiritual Energy to unleash his full power, the majestic vision of an entire world would appear behind him.

 

Whether in phenomena or combat strength, it was unparalleled, reaching the pinnacle of might.

 

Ordinary beings could not hope to resist it.

 

However, at that moment, as if sensing something, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze shifted toward a nearby girl with shoulder-length chestnut hair. Her eyes were tightly shut, and arcs of lightning, like silver snakes, danced chaotically around her body.

 

*Crackle, crackle…* Sharp, crisp sounds resonated as the highly concentrated arcs pierced through space.

 

“She’s about to break through, isn’t she…” Murmuring softly, Yu Zi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

 

Through his Heavenly Eye, he could clearly see the Lightning Element Spiritual Energy rejoicing, dancing with excitement.

 

They were converging from all directions, as if welcoming her.

 

*Rumble, rumble…* Rolling thick and dark clouds gathered incessantly in the sky, responding both to Quinn, as well as, to Azure Dragon of the Nine Realms, who had sensed her breakthrough. A Lightning Tribulation was about to descend upon her.

 

*Boooooom…* A sky-shaking roar echoed as a bolt of lightning as thick as a barrel tore through the sky, illuminating the dim world.

 

At that moment, as if she had sensed something, the girl, Quinn, trembled.

 

Then…

 

*Crackle…* She transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting toward the sky.

 

Just then, whether it was an illusion or something else, Yu Zi Yu faintly heard Quinn murmuring, <Activating Combat Protocol. Target: Survive Tribulation…>

 

Her voice seemed artificial and electronic, cold and indifferent.

 

At the same time, as Quinn slowly opened her eyes, they revealed a trace of emptiness and emotionless clarity.

 

The Combat Protocol was one of the highest masterpieces of the Demon Court’s top laboratory. It was equivalent to embedding an artificial intelligence in Quinn’s mind.

 

This artificial intelligence was born solely for battle, capable of activating different combat protocols depending on the scenario.

 

It should be noted that Quinn was just a fifteen-year-old girl. Even with extraordinary talent and an Atomic Reactor as her power core, her combat experience was inevitably lacking.

 

As such, no matter how powerful Quinn was, it would be futile.

 

An experienced fighter could slay her before she even had the chance to react.

 

This outcome was contrary to the Demon Court’s laboratory’s definition of Quinn—a ‘weapon’ born for battle.

 

Therefore, after extensive research, the Demon Court’s top laboratory chose to equip Quinn with one of the most dangerous and fearsome technologies—the AI Combat Assistance System.

 

With this system, even if Quinn lacked experience, she could still hold her own against formidable opponents.

 

Of course… it was not Quinn who was fighting. It was a battle-hardened artificial intelligence controlling her body, a system created solely for war.

 

As a matter of fact, this AI Combat Assistance System has already been mass-produced and implemented in the Demon Court’s technological legions.

 

Even a rookie, after installation of this device, would transform into a highly trained special forces soldier within seconds. As long as their Attributes and abilities keep up, their combat strength would undergo a qualitative leap.

 

However, the drawback lay in its cost. The more advanced the device, the more astronomical the expense.

 

Combat devices designed to assist Tier-1 or Tier-2 combatants were relatively manageable. However, for combat devices like the one installed on Quinn, designed for a Demigod, the entire Demon Court had only managed to create two.

 

One was installed on Quinn, and the other on Stellar Magneto.

 

Rumors suggest that these two devices were not only capable of assisting Demigods in battle but could even provide limited support to Tier-5 True Gods.

 

This spoke volumes about how far the Demon Court’s technological advancements have come.

 

And now…

 

A glimmer of red light flashed in Quinn’s eyes as a torrent of data surged through her gaze like a flood.

 

<Commencing calculation: Tier-5 Lightning Tribulation… speed: light-speed… unavoidable.>

 

<Countermeasure: deploy ‘Lightning Spear’ at maximum output…>

 

As precise calculations occurred in Quinn’s mind, her chestnut hair flew wildly as countless silver arcs of electricity crackled and danced across her body like serpents.

 

Then, with a single motion of her hand, she clenched the air.

 

*Boooooom…* With thunderous roar, countless silver arcs of lightning swarmed towards her clenched hand, materializing into a 10-meter-long spear.

 

The silver-blue light gun formed by billions of volts of powerful electric current is capable of travelling at the speed of light and on a straight trajectory, and it can also make use of the principle of electromagnetic induction to constantly correct its trajectory and accelerate…

 

Lightning Spear—A silver-blue spear formed from billions of volts of electric current. It travels at the speed of light in a straight trajectory. Its path and speed can also be adjusted mid-flight using the principle of electromagnetic induction.

 

This technique was one of Quinn’s ultimate moves. Ordinary Demigods could not even react, let alone withstand it; they would be pierced through before realizing what had happened.

 

It was a testament to why Quinn was considered one of the Three Brightest Stars of the Demon Court’s new generation.

 

To reign supreme within the Demon Court—a Force brimming with experts—Quinn’s strength far surpassed that of typical Demigods.

 

“It’s here…” murmuring softly, Quinn’s gaze sharpened as she looked toward the dark clouds gathering in the sky.

 

And in the next moment…

 

*Boooooom…* With a sky-shaking clap, dozens of lightning bolts as thick as barrels merged into one, transforming into a Silver Dragon, diving down straight from Heaven.

 

Its terrifying aura made the entire world tremble. It carried an irresistible majesty like a Divine Tribulation was descending.

 

However, right at that moment…

 

“Lightning Spear!” a delicate shout echoed, while the spear in Quinn’s hand flashed and disappeared in an instant. Only the faint, dissipating arcs of lightning in the distance hinted at its path.

 

Moments later…

 

*Booooooom…* A deafening roar resounded, and the entire world fell silent.

 

In Heaven and Earth, only a radiant lightning bolt connecting the sky and ground remained, shining brilliantly in the stillness.
