However, at that very moment, something went unnoticed by everyone: The wheel that seemed capable of grinding Heaven and Earth into oblivion had begun to show signs of fracture.

 

Surprisingly, the massive wheel could not stand against Yu Zi Yu’s mighty Nine Realms.

 

In the end, the wheel was a fusion of Five Elements, unable to truly share a single will.

 

What was more, the Water Ape of Three Stars had only been hastily patched in to complete the missing link.

 

Thus, collapse was inevitable.

 

*Crack… Crack…* One brittle sound after another rang out as fissures finally appeared upon the dazzling wheel of five colors, that seemed to carry the might to erase the world.

 

However, just then…

 

*Haaaa…* A soft sigh echoed through the secret realm, before a silver halo suddenly appeared out of thin air, swelling into a massive ring that shot straight toward the world-destroying wheel.

 

*Booooom…* With a deafening clap, the silver ring locked tightly around the wheel.

 

It bound it, and stabilized it.

 

This was none other than the Imperial Artifact, the Vajra Ring, which was sacrificing its own strength to forcibly stabilize the power of the annihilating wheel.

 

“Grind it away!” A united roar shook the firmament.

 

With the Imperial Artifact’s reinforcement, the power of the world-destroying wheel seemed to undergo sublimation; its aura suddenly skyrocketed.

 

Adding more to its terror, dazzling silver had also blended into the five-colored radiance.

 

And this swirling blend of six color had once again started grinding away the world with greater power.

 

This was Heavenly Court’s strongest offensive.

 

…

 

Faced with this strike, even the vast starry expanse formed by the Nine Realms of Heaven could not withstand it.

 

It was driven back little by little.

 

*Zeze…* Yu Zi Yu let out a faint chuckle; he appeared to have no concern.

 

He had only been probing. And now that he had discerned the true nature of this annihilating wheel, he had no further need to test it further.

 

Slowly raising his hand, Yu Zi Yu actually withdrew that boundless Starry Sky.

 

“An opening…”

 

“Now!”

 

“Press the attack in one breath!”

 

Cries of excitement rang out from within the world-destroying wheel.

 

In the next instant, the wheel crushed forward with world-ending momentum.

 

However, in their excitement, they failed to notice that at some unknown point, a rhombus-shaped crystal had appeared upon Yu Zi Yu’s brow, and two Dragons, one azure and one violet, coiling and slithering over his arms.

 

“Grand Divine Ability, One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones. From One to Three, evolve ultimate battle power…”

 

A soft incantation escaped his lips as one blurred phantom after another emerged behind Yu Zi Yu.

 

*Roooooaar…*

 

A sudden Dragon Roar resounded through an entire realm, and from behind Yu Zi Yu, an Azure Dragon phantom of immeasurable length surged skyward.

 

Alongside it, a domineering Purple Dragon phantom raised its head and roared toward the Heavens.

 

And at the same time, a silver-haired humanoid phantom began to overlap continuously with Yu Zi Yu’s own form…

 

Power, unimaginable power surged from Yu Zi Yu without restraint.

 

His silver-gray hair whipped wildly through the air, while the golden imperial robes upon him billowed with thunderous force.

 

“What is this?!”

 

“How—how did his aura suddenly skyrocket?!”

 

One cry of shock after another rang out as the Emperors were left utterly dumbfounded.

 

However, the one who was even more stunned was the Vajra Ring, because at this very moment, it had recognized this legendary Grand Divine Ability.

 

“One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones…”

 

An incredulous shriek suddenly echoed throughout the realm, causing the expressions of the Emperors to change drastically.

 

One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones was the foremost Grand Divine Ability of the Daoist Sect.

 

It was a divine art of legend.

 

It was said to even share certain origins with their Heavenly Court.

 

And yet now, it had appeared in the hands of their enemy.

 

But was even more absurd was the fact that the Demon Emperor had mastered two Grand Divine Abilities.

 

It was utterly incomprehensible!

 

Their facial features were completely frozen, their horrid disbelief clearly written on their faces.

 

However, what awaited them was a gigantic hand that had appeared at some unknown point.

 

It blotted out the sky, and True Dragons followed in its wake; one Azure and one Purple Dragon phantom, vast beyond anything, plunged straight toward the massive wheel.

 

*Boooooom…* Another resounding explosion shook the secret realm, shaking even something as formidable as the world-annihilating wheel.

 

Then, it slowly shattered.

 

It did not even last for a single breath before shattering completely.

 

And together with that…

 

<Ding! You killed a Tier-6 Overlord. Evolution Points…! Plundered Ability—Azure Emperor’s Wood Sovereign Art!>

 

<Ding! You killed a Tier-6 Overlord. Evolution Points…! Plundered Ability—White Emperor’s Sharpmetal Scripture!>

 

<Ding! You killed a Tier-6 Overlord. Evolution Points…! Plundered Ability—Yellow Emperor’s Great Earth Dao!>

 

…

 

Notifications, sweet music to Yu Zi Yu’s ears, rang one after another.

 

With a single palm strike, Yu Zi Yu had completely annihilated the four emperors within the wheel, along with the Water Ape of Three Stars.

 

There was no need for a second strike, just that one strike was enough to seal the deal.

 

With the augmentation of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, a single palm was more than sufficient.

 

However, while there were pros, there were cons too.

 

In the aftermath of that all-destructive strike, the entire secret realms also began to collapse.

 

*Crack… Crack…*

 

One reverberating rumble after another rang out as the residual power of the Five Element wheel leaked outward, destroying the entire secret realm.

 

The world was breaking apart.

 

Immortal palaces and celestial towers were reduced to ash in an instant.

 

Even the mountains and rivers stretching tens of thousands of kilometers were erased bit by bit.

 

If one looked carefully toward a corner of the sky, they could even see the starry void beyond the rift..

 

The world had been shattered.

 

However, amidst all this, Yu Zi Yu’s calm gaze was locked on the distant silver ring that spanned across tens of thousands of kilometers. The entire ring radiated a sacred and boundless aura.

 

And at this moment, a humanoid phantom slowly manifested at its very center.

 

“Demon Emperor… you truly live up to your name.”

 

Repeated sighs escaped the Vajra Ring, its voice carrying an indescribable chill.

 

However, the ever observant Yu Zi Yu had already noticed cracks spreading across the surface of the silver ring.

 

It was damaged to begin with, and now, it had borne the combined impact of the Cycle of the Five Elements and Nine Realms of Heavens. Even it could not withstand such strain.

 

Not to mention Yu Zi Yu’s Heaven-shaking palm strike that landed squarely upon it.

 

That unimaginable attack had left it even more damaged.

 

However, all this was important, because at this moment, the Vajra Ring’s heart was dead.

 

The Heavenly Court’s inheritance had been cut off—less than one-tenth remained.

 

As the guardian of the Heavenly Court’s legacy, it felt unworthy of its predecessors.

 

And so…

 

“Demon Emperor… even if Heavenly Court’s legacy is extinguished, I will still bury you here.”

 

A cold voice echoed throughout the realm.

 

And with it rose a power, a vast and terrifying power that rose without end.
