*Boooooom…* Amid a terrifying roar, Yu Zi Yu crossed several star systems in a single step, heading toward the Milky Way Galaxy where the Demon Court was located.

 

However, it had to be said, the universe was simply too vast.

 

Even someone as powerful as him, if he did not rely on stargates, would still need one or two years, perhaps even longer, to traverse it.

 

Thus, using stargates was unavoidable.

 

Wearing a smile on his lips, Yu Zi Yu stepped toward a colossal gate that seemed to hold up the very firmament of the cosmos.

 

However, at that very moment…

 

*Crack…* A sharp, brittle sound rang out across the stars.

 

Looking toward the source, one would discover that the massive gate supporting the Heavens was slowly breaking apart, as if it could no longer bear the strain.

 

Indeed, it was breaking apart, and this, in itself, was a testament to Yu Zi Yu’s terrifying nature.

 

His vast and overwhelmingly powerful body had already surpassed what a stargate could safely contain.

 

Of course, this posed no real problem.

 

After all, what Yu Zi Yu bore was the Supreme Principle of Spacetime.

 

What he needed from the stargate was merely a coordinate.

 

And now…

 

“The coordinates are locked.” He murmured softly, the corner of his lips involuntarily rising into a faint smile.

 

At this moment, if one were to observe closely, they would notice wisps of silver-gray energy constantly spilling from Yu Zi Yu’s body.

 

These wisps of Spacetime Energy propped up the collapsing spatial passage, anchoring it firmly all the way to the distant end.

 

*Boooooom…* A thunderous clap reverberated through the void, as Yu Zi Yu took a step and vanished entirely into the depths of the shattered stargate.

 

It looked as though he had passed through the gate, but in truth, he had used his own Spacetime Principle to take a single step across endless distances.

 

This…was something only Yu Zi Yu could accomplish!

 

If it were anyone else, it would have been impossible.

 

After all, a true Hegemon’s body was notoriously difficult to pass through stargates.

 

A Hegemon…was an existence far beyond mortal imagination. Ordinary spatial passages could not withstand the weight of such mighty bodies.

 

Not long after, in a distant corner of the cosmos…

 

*Boooooom…* Space and time swirled as a fight slowly emerged out of thin air.

 

The figure was tall and slender, and wore golden imperial robes. His appearance was obscured by a hazy glow, and radiated an aura utterly detached from the mundane world…

 

This was none other than Yu Zi Yu, who had crossed the Starry Sky using the coordinates of the stargate.

 

“The Demon Court… I’m back.”

 

With a soft chuckle, Yu Zi Yu stepped forward, heading straight toward the Milky Way Galaxy where the Demon Court resided.

 

The Milky Way lay in a remote location.

 

However, it had already become the true center of the entire Western Sector.

 

At present, if one looked at the entire Western Sector, they would see countless crimson meteors distributed across the entire Sector, heavily concentrated in the Milky Way.

 

These crimson meteors were actually warships, patrolling endlessly throughout the Western Sector.

 

They were the Demon Court’s starfleet.

 

Currently, it was universally acknowledged as the strongest fleet in the Western Sector.

 

In fact, even across the entire universe, it could be called the strongest.

 

This was the foundation of the Demon Court as it now stood.

 

Feeling deeply satisfied, a wide grin couldn’t help but present itself on Yu Zi Yu’s face.

 

This was the Demon Court he had created, and it had grown into quite an impressive force.

 

Of course, this was not the time to revel on such thoughts.

 

With a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, Yu Zi Yu strode toward the most brilliant star within the Milky Way, the Celestial Realm. It was currently the center of the Solar System, and shone with unparalleled brilliance.

 

Originally, it was just an ordinary satellite, but now, it had become the very center of the Demon Court.

 

Not only was it a place teeming with countless powerhouses, it was where the ten Divine Beasts generally resided.

 

Though these ten Divine Beasts rarely revealed themselves, each and every one of their legends was sung throughout the Demon Court.

 

Leader of the Divine Beasts, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, possessed the power of limitless transformations, and was also capable of sealing the Heavens and suppressing the Earth.

 

The Second Divine Beast, Bull Demon was a creature with the head of an Ox and the lower body of a Human. He looked less like a living creature and more like an envoy from Hell, and swallowed everything, even light, around him, as if he was a living black hole.

 

The Third Divine Beast, Qiongqi was the Lord of Storms. Though he bore the noble body of a White Tiger, he harbored a primal lust for slaughter, and his power surged most violently where order collapsed into chaos.

 

…

 

Each of the Divine Beasts were legendary and their names shook the entire universe.

 

Of course, these were the first-generation Divine Beasts.

 

After them came the second generation.

 

And now, it was the era of the second-generation Divine Beasts, the Pure White Fox, Bai Ling Er,  the Heaven-Treading Green Ox…

 

Each of them had left a profound mark into the annals of the Demon Court.

 

Though they had yet to match the might of the first generation, they already possessed at least thirty percent of their former prestige.

 

And now…

 

“We pay our respects to the Demon Emperor…”

 

“We pay our respects to the Demon Emperor…”

 

“We pay our respects to the Demon Emperor…”

 

Amid the unified cries, deep within the Demon Palace, more than a hundred figures prostrated themselves, welcoming the Hegemon who had just returned.

 

Clad in golden imperial robes, although his face wasn’t visible, his peerless bearing was unmistakable.

 

*Boooooom…* His robes fluttered with a thunderous roar, as if mountains and rivers had collapsed, as that figure slowly descended onto the throne.

 

*Booooom…* Another deafening roar followed, and the entire Celestial Realm seemed to sink under an invisible weight. An indescribable pressure stole the breath of countless powerhouses.

 

At this moment, if they closed their eyes and looked inside them, they would surely see a colossal Divine Tree rising within their very mind, bloating out their entire mindscape.

 

That was the manifestation of Yu Zi Yu’s current aura.

 

Though he had not yet reached the ineffable realm, where merely chanting his true name would draw his awareness, or where he could erase beings across millions of miles, he already possessed a measure of divine might.

 

Thus, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to suppress the Celestial Realm.

 

No, not just the Celestial Realm! If he were to fully unleash his presence, even the entire Milky Way would sense it.

 

His aura could be like that of Gods and Demons, but dozens or even hundreds of times more terrifying than either. It was enough to make all the powerhouses tremble in their places.

 

“Rise, all of you…” Yu Zi Yu spoke at last, sweeping his gaze over the civil and military officials of the Demon Court.

 

Compared to decades ago, the laws and regulations of the Demon Court were now far more complete. Even the number of unfamiliar faces had increased considerably.

 

However, anyone qualified to attend this audience was undoubtedly a high-ranking official of the Demon Court either a Tier-5 King or Tier-6 Overlord.

 

All could be called nobles of great standing and figures of terrifying strength.

 

And now, each and every one of them wore expressions of utmost reverence, gazing at the figure seated high upon the throne.

 

The Demon Emperor!

 

The undisputed number one in the entire universe!

 

The supreme ruler of the Demon Court, the true pillar that held up their entire world.
