Time flew by. Years had passed in the blink of an eye.

 

As they say, cultivation knows no time.

 

However, who would’ve thought that simply traversing the many corners of the Demon Court would make time pass so swiftly?

 

And on this particular day, in a remote corner of the Kadar Star Domain…

 

*Haaaa…* With a soft sigh, a figure that seemed otherworldly in grace, radiant and unmatched in bearing, lifted its head to gaze into the deepest depths of the starry sky.

 

“The time… is nearly ripe,” mumbled Yu Zi Yu.

 

He already understood that the moment to launch the campaign against the ‘Heaven-Connecting Jianmu’ had arrived.

 

Just recently, the Dream Dragon of the Eastern Sector had sent him an invitation.

 

“Shea…” Calling out softly, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze landed on a nearby young girl with long hair and dark eyes.

 

Her cold and proud figure drew all eyes. She was like a Black Phoenix, noble and untouchable, colored with a hue that did not belong to the mortal world.

 

This was Shea, Yu Zi Yu’s Third Disciple.

 

At present, she had already stepped into Tier-6, and her cultivation of the Indestructible Vajrapani Physique had reached Advance-Level, thanks to the Demon Court’s full investment of resources.

 

So, how strong Shea was today, no one could say.

 

Not even Yu Zi Yu himself knew for sure.

 

Only her eyes, once like colorful spirals, had now transformed into a radiant rainbow, glorious and mesmerizing.

 

And that was the highest evolution of the Eyes of Death—the Rainbow Eyes.

 

Now, wherever her gaze landed, the very air fractured under the weight of her vision, as though sliced by invisible blades.

 

Even more terrifying, if her gaze fell upon Tier-5s, even they would face instant annihilation, their Soul destroyed through and through.

 

She didn’t even need to lift a finger. A single look was enough.

 

She was now the sharpest, most terrifying sword forged by the full might of the Demon Court.

 

“Master…” A single word left her lips, as Shea, colder than frost, cast her gaze toward the not-so-distant figure.

 

So profound was his elegance, so breathtaking his magnificence, that words proved insufficient.

 

He was the Divine Tree. Yet to her, also a teacher, a mentor, a figure of reverence.

 

However, in this moment, sensing something unspoken, a trace of reluctance quietly surfaced in her eyes.

 

“I’m leaving.”

 

“So it’s true…”

 

A silent sigh echoed in her heart as the longing in her eyes deepened.

 

However, before she could speak, Yu Zi Yu continued, “This time, I’m not sure how many years I’ll be away… So, the Demon Court is in your hands.”

 

“Yes, Master.”

 

Her response was firm. It was like a vow. In her eyes, an unwavering resolve took shape.

 

Years of cultivation, all for this day.

 

Now, it was time to prove herself.

 

“Mhmm. With you here, I can rest easy.”

 

Yu Zi Yu softly chuckled, as sixteen golden wings, glorious and dazzling, shining like the stars in the sky, unfurled slowly behind him.

 

“Nine Tails, Sarcosuchus, Bull Demon, and the others, I won’t be bidding them farewell…When you return, just pass my message along. Though you are now considered the second strongest in the Demon Court… they are still your Elders. You must never be disrespectful.”

 

With each instruction, Yu Zi Yu’s tone took on a teasing note.

 

If Shea were to return now, the entire Demon Court would likely be shaken to its core.

 

In just a few years of her absence, she had stepped into Tier-6.

 

What’s more, she had cultivated the Indestructible Vajrapani Physique to the Advance Level.

 

Her combat power now stood at an unimaginable peak.

 

And this Blessed Daughter of Heavens was the creation of Yu Zi Yu’s own hand.

 

The most perfect, the most exquisite existence, one worthy of being called a masterpiece.

 

With a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips, Yu Zi Yu spread his wings.

 

*Booooom…* Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed, shaking the very starry sky.

 

In the next instant, Yu Zi Yu’s figure transformed into a beam of golden light and disappeared into the depths of the cosmos.

 

…

 

At that very moment, in the Eastern Sector—

 

*Roooooar…* A majestic Dragon’s roar suddenly thundered across the starry skies, causing even the stars to tremble in fear.

 

Looking toward the source, one would see a boundless Crimson Dragon emerging from the sea of stars.

 

It was the Dream Dragon, a mythical Dragon intertwined with the world of dreams, that didn’t exist in the real world.

 

She was a true Great Dragon.

 

To this day, none had ever unraveled her nature.

 

However, everyone knew she was strong. So strong that it defied all reason.

 

It was said she held control over the Secrets of the Dimensions.

 

And what was Dimensions?

 

They could be understood as layers and space, but they also transcended layers and space.

 

Some even claimed that Dimension was itself a Supreme Principle.

 

But no one truly knew, for the Ten Supreme Principles were wrapped in layers of mystery.

 

To this day, only six or seven of them were even known to the world.

 

And in every era, new Principles would emerge, some so formidable they could rival the Supreme Principles themselves.

 

This ‘Dimension’ might very well be one of those legendary forces.

 

And now, this being, hailed as the most terrifying existence of the Dragon Clan, bearing an Imperial Artifact upon her head, the Dragon Crown, shot straight toward the Central Sector.

 

…

 

The existence of the Heaven-Connecting Jianmu had long stood in the way of all races’ cultivation.

 

Now, with peak powerhouses of every race hovering just beneath the threshold of Tier-7, the Realm of Hegemony, advancement was becoming ever more difficult.

 

If Jianmu, one that veiled the Heavenly Secrets and blurred the world’s truths, was not removed soon…then the path forward might well be lost forever.

 

And so… no words were needed.

 

Nor were they spoken.

 

From every corner of the starry sky, one powerhouse after another awakened and began their march toward the Central Sector.

 

Among them, the weakest ones were still in Tier-6 Late-Stage.

 

And some, like Yu Zi Yu and the Dream Dragon… were so strong and terrifying that they bordered on the mythical.

 

They were beyond mortal comprehension.

 

Of course, few knew that Yu Zi Yu still possessed an Imperial Artifact.

 

Otherwise, their estimation of him would rise several notches higher.

 

As far as the world knew, Yu Zi Yu’s strength was merely enough to contend with multiple Imperial Artifacts…

 

However, if they learned that he still had a trump card, an actual Imperial Artifact in his possession, then the fear and caution of the Myriad Races toward him would multiply exponentially.

 

…

 

Meanwhile, under another stretch of the stars—

 

*Screech…* The starry expanse shuddered with a sharp Phoenix’s cry, causing the very Elements to resonate with it.

 

Looking up, a magnificent bird of rainbow colors soared through the sky shrouded in radiant clouds that stretched across Heaven.

 

This was the Empress of the Phoenix Clan, the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix, the most noble, and one of the most terrifying Divine Birds.

 

Now, as she flapped her beautiful wings, the rainbow-colored clouds swept across the stars, and she transformed into streaks of prismatic light, vanishing into the depths of the cosmos.

 

…

 

And apart from these already renowned beings…

 

Among the Gods—

 

“Let’s go.”

 

With a soft sigh, a towering figure with one-eyed, yet regal, raised the scepter in his hand and began a lone march through a storm of endless lightning.

 

Wherever he passed, a sea of lightning spread.

 

All around him, countless silhouettes seemed to chant and kneel in reverence.

 

This was the vision of the Divine Kingdom.

 

And he, the Lord of the Godking Lineage, had already forged his Divine Kingdom, vast and immeasurable.

 

And behind him followed four of the Nine Order Masters.

 

Each of them was a Late-Stage Tier-6 or higher.

 

They were true peak-level powerhouses.

 

Among them was…

 

The God of Darkness, the Master of the Order of Darkness, embodying the boundless void and the source of all shadows.

 

The God of Chaos, the Master of the Order of Chaos, the embodiment of chaos, whose form was blurred and indistinct, wrapped in primordial entropy.
