“What’s this?” A sudden gasp of doubt escaped as the expression of Fallen Titan seated high on the throne subtly shifted.

 

It was because, at this very moment, the aura of the Void Space was surging from the Star God beyond the swirling vortex in Space.

 

“So it’s true…So it’s true… Hahaha! You are one of us, a member of the Void Clan…” Fallen Titan broke into laughter, grinning wider and wider.

 

The Void Clan was infamous for its cruelty and merciless nature. However, despite their cold and savage demeanor, they recognized their own kind among the Void Clan.

 

Of course, this recognition was not necessarily born of goodwill.

 

Take, for example, the Void Behemoth that bore the mark of Gluttony.’ Its recognition of others often meant devouring them.

 

And now, Fallen Titan’s recognition… was marked by an unprecedented fervor flashing deep within its eyes.

 

Faintly, it seemed as if flames were flickering in its gaze.

 

Yet, before Fallen Titan could speak, a thunderous roar echoed through the Void Space, “Withdraw, all of you!”

 

The shout, like a clap of thunder, reverberated across the Void Space, accompanied by an unparalleled aura of authority. This majesty was impossible to fully describe. It was like that of an emperor ruling from on high, wielding the power of life and death—it was unimaginably terrifying.

 

And those who felt this majesty most acutely were the countless Void Creatures.

 

*Rooooaar… rooooaar…* One after another, resonant growls echoed as Void Creatures emerging from every corner of the Void Space instinctively retreated.

 

The Emperor of the Void was not to be provoked.

 

Compared to the Myriad Races of the stars, the hierarchy in the Void Clan was far stricter.

 

Fallen Titan, seated high on his throne, did not reprimand the retreat. Low-level Void Creatures could scarcely defy the Void Emperor’s will.

 

It was an iron rule.

 

At this moment, he could not pay attention to the Void Creatures, as the next moment…

 

*Boooooom…* With a resounding crash, Yu Zi Yu, now controlling the body of the Void Elf, stepped slowly into the depths of the Void Space.

 

With each step he took, ripples spread through the Void Space, causing the layers of space to undulate and shift.

 

But more terrifying than this was Yu Zi Yu’s frosty, ice-cold expression.

 

“Do you realize what you were just going to do?” His chilling voice seemed to freeze Souls.

 

“Of course I do,” Grinning, Fallen Titan replied indifferently, “It’s nothing but the impending slaughter of a group of insignificant ants…”

 

“You wretched beast…” Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed, his expression growing even colder, like water freezing into ice.

 

At the Same Time, a stream of information flooded Yu Zi Yu’s eyes.

 

Race: Void Clan (Void Emperor, a title reserved only for Tier-6 Void Creatures, a representation of further increase in authority.)   Rank: Tier-6   Innate Talent: Corruption – As the 13th Void Creature to ascend to Tier-4, earning the title of the 13th Void King, it wields the power of corruption. This ability allows it to lead countless beings toward depravity, using its tainted essence to erode both body and mind.   Unique Abilities:   Titan Physique – Possessing the corrupted body of a Titan prodigy, it has gained a near-unbreakable defense and overwhelming physical strength, far surpassing ordinary Titans.   Flames of Corruption – The black flames engulfing its form can incinerate Souls and awaken the darkness within the hearts of its enemies, driving them toward despair.   Domain of Corruption – Establishes a vast domain centered on itself, which can taint the Souls of countless beings. Anyone who falters within this domain risks becoming mindless puppets under its control.   Elemental Immunity – Grants it extraordinary resistance to all elemental damage.   Void Devourer – This ability allows it to evolve by consuming other Void Creatures.   …   Divine Ability:   Form of Corruption – Transforms into a new, monstrous form, dramatically enhancing strength, speed, and defense.

 

Deep in contemplation, Yu Zi Yu silently summoned the Purple Dragon.

 

Although his Void Elf Form was considered half a Void Creature, it could not compare to true Void Emperors like Fallen Titan or the Purple Dragon within the Void Space. At least, it did not grant him the same seamless control over the Void Space.

 

Thus, if he wanted to eliminate Fallen Titan, he needed the Purple Dragon—a true Void Emperor.

 

And why did Fallen Titan need to be destroyed? The mere fact that he had pushed Yu Zi Yu into revealing his identity as part of the Void Clan was enough to warrant his destruction.

 

If Yu Zi Yu’s Void Elf Form’s ‘Half-Void’ nature were revealed, countless races might unite to target the Demon Court. At that point, no explanation would suffice.

 

Many Forces were already seeking an excuse to strike the Demon Court, which had become an emerging threat. More importantly, Yu Zi Yu’s Void Elf Form indeed had ties to the Void Clan, and severing that connection was impossible.

 

With this thought, a palpable killing intent began to spread from Yu Zi Yu’s heart.

 

“Is that killing intent I sense…?” Amused laughter echoed through the void as Fallen Titan, seated high on his throne, propped his chin in his hand, watching Yu Zi Yu’s seemingly insignificant figure with great interest. [Although this so-called Star God cultivated the Dao of Space, it seems to pose little threat. After all, my defense is nearly invincible.]

 

…

 

However, just then, as if sensing something, Fallen Titan’s expression abruptly changed.

 

Suddenly, he retreated.

 

*Booooom…* With an earth-shaking crash, a massive purple pillar of light, thousands of meters thick, pierced through his throne in an instant.

 

“What’s this?” A stunned voice escaped as Fallen Titan slowly raised his head.

 

What he saw shocked him—a Purple Dragon with a head the size of a mountain. Its shimmering purple scales radiated a luminous halo, and its Dragon Eyes, resembling celestial suns and moons, exuded supreme majesty.

 

Its massive purple body slowly rose, with its claws facing each other, gathering a ball of concentrated purple energy.

 

*Roooooar…* A Dragon Roar suddenly reverberated, and then, leaving Fallen Titan no time to react, a streak of purple light flashed past.

 

In the next moment, what entered Fallen Titan’s vision was a Purple Dragon claw, striking his body with a ball of energy.

 

*Boooooom…* The impact erupted with an explosive explosion that shook the Void Space, unleashing a shockwave that spanned tens of thousands of meters.

 

In the aftermath of the clash, Fallen Titan’s massive body was sent hurtling backwards like a cannonball, flying hundreds of thousands of meters away.

 

Yet this was only the beginning.

 

For at that moment…

 

*Rooooooaar…* A Dragon  Roar echoed once more as Yu Zi Yu, now fully controlling the Purple Dragon’s body, commanded a devastating dive.

 

*Booooooom…* The enormous Purple Dragon, stretching beyond sight, swept through the Void Space.

 

Its overwhelming might rippled across millions of miles as it unleashed yet another earth-shattering attack.
