The World Energy was a brand-new yet supremely High Level form of energy.

Now, as this power took root within Yu Zi Yu’s body, it caused an Earth-shattering transformation.

It was as if he was being reconstructed yet also nurtured.

In just a few breaths, Yu Zi Yu could feel the strength of his original body, the Immortal Tree, rising at an astonishing pace.

However, this was still not the terrifying part.

The truly terrifying part was that…

*Boooom…* With an earth-shaking explosion, the Nether God and the Shadow Lord, who had just lunged toward Yu Zi Yu, were both sent hurtling back at an astonishing speed.

Looking up, they finally saw it, an awe-inspiring wave of golden light expanding from Yu Zi Yu’s body.

Sacred and extraordinary, it carried an indescribable might.

This single golden shockwave, which spanned across half the galaxy, actually forced back two near-Hegemon-level beings.

“What’s that?”

“Such terrifying power!”

…

The crowd of spectators broke into exclamations, one after another, as they stood frozen, staring at the vast cosmos, at the towering silhouette of a Tree.

Its branches stretched endlessly, reaching toward the stars as if weaving the fabric of the cosmos itself.

Its massive trunk, like a pillar supporting the sky, radiated a hazy yet divine golden glow.

Its roots extended endlessly, transforming into Dragons that kept burrowing deep into the Void Space.

*Gulu…gulu…* With each expansion and contraction, they seemed to be absorbing the power of the Void itself.

However, this was not the most important part.

What was truly shocking was that nine flickering stars floated around this colossal tree, and behind it, a vast, ancient, and lush illusory world unfolded like a celestial scroll.

“I… have finally succeeded.” Murmuring softly, Yu Zi Yu could not help but tremble with excitement.

At this moment, he could feel it, the surging power from the Tenth Realm continuously refining his body.

Once his true body had undergone complete transformation, he would have stepped into the Seventh Order.

At that point, he could stand against a Hegemon with his physical body alone.

Of course, to put it in more simpler terms, Yu Zi Yu’s Seventh Order Physique would be no weaker than an Imperial Artifact.

In other words, he would become a living and breathing Imperial Artifact.

This was why the Seventh Order was said to be capable of contending with Hegemons.

If there were any shortcomings left, they would be in the purity and reserves of Spiritual Energy, which still fell short of a true Imperial Artifact.

Moreover, every Imperial Artifact had a Master, and anyone capable of wielding an Imperial Artifact was not to be underestimated.

Thus, the Seventh Order Tier-6s were only referred to as ‘Living and Breathing Imperial Artifacts,’ but yet not reached the level to be referred to as ‘Eternals walking the Mortal Realm.’

Even so, it was enough to demonstrate just how terrifying the Seventh Order was.

And currently, Yu Zi Yu was at the cusp of reaching this level.

Once his True Body fully evolves, he would be standing at the peak of the cosmos!

*Hoooo…* Yu Zi Yu took a long, deep breath, but he struggled to contain his excitement.

This rapid ascent in strength was truly beyond terrifying, so much so that even he felt a little overwhelmed.

Right then…

“Stop him!”

“We must not let him break through…!”

…

One frantic cry after another rang out, as the Nether God, the Shadow Lord, and even the King of Lightning charged toward him like madmen.

Why would they not? If Yu Zi Yu managed to break through successfully, it would be over for them.

They would be condemned to eternal damnation. And not just them—their entire races would bear the brunt of their choices.

Thus, they truly had no other choice but to go out.

They had started burning their very lives.

The Nether God’s entire body was engulfed in black flames. His blood-red eyes burning with eerie light. The Demonic Spirit was now completely awake. The Nether God had sacrificed his flesh, blood, and even Soul to summon its True Form, drawing out the full might of the Netherworld Divine Armor.

Meanwhile, in another direction, the King of Lightning’s bronze tome rapidly started to change color, until it gleamed a brilliant gold. The Grimoire was an Artifact that became more dazzling the more it was awakened.

Bronze was merely its weakest form. Above it were the Silver Form, the Golden Form and etc—each more terrifying than the last. And when completely awakened, it was radiant like a diamond, and so strong that it could channel the Elements of an entire galaxy.

Of course, even the Golden Form was already extraordinary.

At this moment, torrents of Elements came surging in endless manner. At least, Elements of half the galaxy had been drawn here, releasing an unprecedented pressure.

As for the Shadow Lord, he acted even more decisively.

“Blood Sacrifice…” A resonant shout erupted from him as a steeled look appeared on his face.

The next moment, his entire being dissolved into pure shadow, merging directly into the Shadow Blade.

With it, the blade’s killing intent soared to an unprecedented level, so much so that even Yu Zi Yu could feel a stabbing pain across his body.

“They’re truly going all out…” Yu Zi Yu sighed in his heart.

He knew that he had reached the final moment; he could not allow them to interrupt his breakthrough.

Considering this, a solemn and serious look blanketed his face.

Then, he cried in a decisive voice, “Awaken… Sixteen Holy Wings… I need your power…”

Just as these words left his tongue, all of the Nine Realms trembled.

Instantly, a torrent of Spiritual Energy erupted from him, surging toward the deepest part of the Nine Realms.

There, eight pairs of golden wings slowly unfolded, so radiant and brilliant that they seemed to be cast from gold.

But just then…

*Swoooosh…* Suddenly, the sound of something rapidly cutting through space echoed.

Yu Zi Yu’s colossal body shuddered violently, and even the awakening of the Sixteen Holy Wings was forcibly interrupted.

Turning his gaze toward the sound, he noticed a gold ring, so huge that it could bind a planet, had slammed onto his true body with immense force.

“Seal the Energy… Bind the Spirit…Capture the Soul…” From an unknown origin, a deep, chilling voice rang out.

In that instant, Yu Zi Yu felt his Spiritual Energy freeze, his mind tighten, and most terrifying of all, his very Soul tremble.

“Heavenly Court… You dare…!?” Yu Zi Yu let out a furious, earth-shaking roar.

He had instantly realized that he had been ambushed, that too at the most critical juncture.

And judging by the appearance of the attacker, he immediately understood that this was the Imperial Artifact, Vajra Ring, which Sixteen Holy Wings had warned him about. An Artifact of the Heavenly Court.

It was simply absurd!

Having been interrupted at this stage, how was he supposed to proceed!?

And worse, this was not just an interruption, this ring carried the power to completely seal his strength.

Even his Soul was trembling, a drowsy, suffocating sensation creeping over him.

To make matters worse, the Nether God, Shadow Lord, and King of Lightning had already gone berserk, rushing toward him like madmen.

“Heavenly Court… Heavenly Court…!” A voice filled with unprecedented fury echoed across the starry void.

This sudden ambush was not just meant to cripple his path to transcendence—it was meant to drive him into utter despair.

If these three lunatics reached him—let alone now, with his energy and Soul suppressed by the Vajra Ring—even at his peak, he might not have been able to withstand their relentless onslaught.

He was in complete dire straits.

And the colossal golden ring, vast enough to bind planets, had now completely bound his True Form.
