[Is it that I’ve grown too strong… or does the universe itself harbor some inexplicable hostility toward the Void?] For once, Yu Zi Yu frowned in thought.

 

This suppression wasn’t that overwhelming, not yet. But he could feel it. A creeping, undeniable weight pressing down on him, growing stronger with each passing moment.

 

In other words… the longer he lingered beneath these stars, the more terrifying the suppression would become.

 

And if he were careless, even his combat strength could plummet drastically.

 

“I must finish this quickly… before it drags on any further…” With a cold snort, a sharp clarity flashed in Yu Zi Yu’s eyes.

 

Then…

 

A Dragon Roar tore through the Void.

 

That majestic, soul-shaking roar echoed endlessly, reverberating through every corner of the vast emptiness.

 

Upon hearing it, countless Void Creatures trembled with excitement, their eyes blazing with fervor.

 

For the meaning behind that roar was unmistakable: Attack.

 

A full-scale invasion.

 

It was the clarion call for war.

 

*Hissss… hissss…*

 

*Roar! Roar! Roar—!*

 

A cacophony of growls and furious bellows erupted from every direction of the Realm of Gods.

 

At this moment, every corner of the entire Realm of Gods was surging with purple radiance.

 

One after another, enormous rifts in space tore open, each one birthing an endless tide of Void Creatures.

 

Like a flood unleashed, they poured into the Realm of Gods.

 

The invasion from the Void had begun.

 

Above, the great Void Hegemon, a being capable of shaking the entire Realm of Gods, was descending, crossing the boundaries of worlds.

 

And below, countless Void Creatures surged forward in a maddened tide.

 

However, compared to Yu Zi Yu’s colossal Soaring Purple Dragon Form, these low level creatures slipped into the Realm of Gods with much ease.

 

Even now, his immense Dragon Body was only halfway through the channel, while innumerable Void Creatures had already poured out from the spatial rifts, spreading like wildfire across the Realm of Gods.

 

…

 

Meanwhile…

 

“Stop the Void Hegemon’s True Body from crossing over!”

 

“Dispatch the Divine Guards to suppress the Void Army!”

 

Orders rang out in quick succession from the Pantheon, each one precise and strategic. Instantly, powerful figures streaked through the air in all directions.

 

Meanwhile, at the crown of the World Tree, atop the canopy that reached the Heavens, the King of Gods and the nine Pantheon Lords stood solemnly, their gazes locked upon the sky, where a vast, spiraling vortex of violet light continued to expand, threatening to engulf the entire firmament.

 

It was the passage through which the Void Hegemon sought to cross between worlds.

 

If it wasn’t stopped in time, what awaited them would be the descent of a terror from the deepest reaches of the Void itself, an existence capable of reducing the entire Realm of Gods to waste.

 

At that point, the resulting death and destruction would be catastrophic.

 

Realizing this, the King of Gods raised his scepter high and roared, his voice resounding like thunder, “Stop him!”

 

“Yes!” With a unified roar, the peak experts of the God Race ascended into the Heavens.

 

“Annihilation Lightning!” A bellow split the sky as torrents of lightning gathered, weaving into a blinding, world-piercing spear of destruction. In the next instant, it howled upward, striking straight toward the vast violet vortex.

 

This was no ordinary lightning. It was the Annihilation Lightning! This was the King of Gods’s supreme lightning technique, capable of obliterating all things. Anyone who came in contact with it would be erased from the face of this world, in both body and Soul.

 

On another side, the God of Light, now present in his True Form, crossed his hands before his chest.

 

“Magnificent Holy Light…” With a serene expression, he unleashed a flood of holy brilliance that pierced through the starry Heavens.

 

However, this was only the beginning.

 

Lifting his gaze, Yu Zi Yu saw the mighty Pantheon Lords, beings of unimaginable might, some even standing at the threshold of the Realm of Hegemony, unleashing their signature techniques, one after another.

 

“Boom! Boom! Boom!* Brilliant hues of all kinds of color converged across the Heavens, interweaving into a single torrent of destructive energy. A cataclysmic flood surging straight toward the vast violet vortex in the sky.

 

However, before this torrent of energy could strike…

 

*Rooaar…* A Dragon Roar erupted from the depths of the vortex, and with it, a blinding pillar of violet light shot out from the vortex.

 

*Booooom…* The violet pillar and the torrent of energy collided head-on with a thunderous roar.

 

However, to the Gods’ dismay, their combined might failed to stand against the violet beam. The torrent of divine energy was driven back, inch by inch, crushed beneath the overwhelming force of that single violet beam.

 

*Booooom…* Another deafening explosion followed as the violet pillar, like a weapon blessed by the Heavens themselves, surged forward with unstoppable momentum.

 

The might of a Hegemon was no joke.

 

And this was the Dragon’s breath of Yu Zi Yu himself.

 

Just a single breath of destruction carried the power to end worlds.

 

For a brief moment, even Yu Zi Yu feared that this breath might pierce straight through the entire Realm of Gods.

 

But soon after, he realized he was overthinking things.

 

*Booooom…* A sudden roar reverberated through the world, as a terrifying aura, enough to send chills down everyone’s spine, started to awaken.

 

Raising his eyes once more, Yu Zi Yu beheld something that made even him pause: High above the Realm of Gods, a crimson spear had appeared, gleaming with a light that refused to fade.

 

It radiated an eternal, undying red brilliance, illuminating every inch of the realm.

 

This was the Imperial Artifact said to affect the course of destiny; an Artifact capable of piercing all things: The Spear of Longinus, the ultimate legacy of the God Race.

 

And now, under Yu Zi Yu’s terrifying threat, it had awakened.

 

*Boooooom…* At the spear’s tip, that eternal crimson radiance pulsed, rippling outward in waves.

 

Those were the ripples of fate itself.

 

Fate, disturbed and rewritten, rippled outward in concentric circles, searching, aligning.

 

Until, at last, it found its target.

 

*Swish…* Splitting the air with a shrill cry, the blood-red spear transformed into a blazing meteor, streaking across the Heavens, its brilliance piercing through time itself as it shot straight toward the violet pillar of light, heading toward the heart of the massive vortex.

 

*Booooom…* A thunderous explosion followed, creating shockwaves so immense that they shook the interdimensional passage to its core.

 

*Booooom…Booooom…* The passage trembled violently, causing Yu Zi Yu’s expression to darken.

 

Then suddenly, his pupils contracted, as if he discovered something.

 

It was because he saw…

 

*Swoooosh…* A streak of eternal crimson light tearing through his Dragon’s breath, slicing through the destructive torrent and shooting straight toward him.

 

“So… this is the Spear of Fate…” A rare moment of solemnity flashed across Yu Zi Yu’s face.

 

The reason for this was because an image appeared in his mind: a blood-red streak shooting through him, piercing through his six-winged draconic body.

 

It was the revelation of fate.

 

Following this trajectory of fate, the Spear of Longinus would inevitably pierce him, no matter his strength, no matter his will.

 

That was the true terror of the Spear of Destiny.

 

Before the Artifact had even reached him, fate itself had already struck.

 

“This thing…” Yu Zi Yu muttered lowly, his tone deep but devoid of fear.

 

For even if his body were pierced, so what? With his current form, it would be little more than a superficial wound.

 

And beyond that… he was curious.

 

He wished to see how this so-called Spear of Fate would follow the path of fate to strike him.

 

With that thought, his Spiritual Energy surged, layers of violet barriers blooming before him like petals, encasing his vast body in shimmering defense.
