“All right, it’s about time. The rest… I’ll leave it to you.” With a soft chuckle, Yu Zi Yu gently caressed Shea’s silky hair through his starlight-woven projection, lingering for a long while.

He was really reluctant to part.

After all, she was his Disciple.

Who knew how many centuries might pass before their next meeting?

And in such a long span of time…

*Haaa…* Heaving a faint sigh, Yu Zi Yu chose to disperse the starlight and let his consciousness slowly return to his True Body.

“Disciple respectfully sees Master off…”

Faintly, as a respectful voice of a young girl reached him, the corner of Yu Zi Yu’s lips curved into a subtle arc…

…

Just half a month later, in the deepest part of the Realm of Life…

“We pay our respect to Master.”

“We pay our respect to Master.”

With voices in unison, dozens of figures knelt on one knee.

What was truly shocking, however, was that each of these figures radiated such fearsome auras, it felt unreal like Gods and Devils stood in their place.

For instance, one figure among them was so enchantingly and devastatingly beautiful that her very presence could ignite wars between nations. Ethereal silver-white chains coiled around her, while demonic flames danced across her body.

She was none other than Nine Tails, the leader of the Ten Divine Beasts.

Beside her stood a Humanoid figure with the head of a Bull, resembling a Demon straight out of Hell. Adding more to his dread, a black vortex spun constantly behind him.

His mere presence caused space and time to twist around him, while the black vortex devoured everything in his vicinity.

This was Bull Demon, who had stepped into the threshold of the Principle of Gravity.

…

But Bull Demon was not the end.

Looking further in the same direction, more and more figures could be seen kneeling on one knee. Each and every one of them were renowned across the Demon Court and the universe.

They were the legendary Ten Divine Beasts of the Demon Court.

Nine Tails, Bull Demon, White Tiger…

Everyone was here, all ten.

Beyond them were beings like Little White, Godzilla, Red Beak Platypus, and Dark King.

Though their identities varied, each was a core member of the Demon Court.

And their strength… was terrifying to the extreme.

Even the weakest in terms of cultivation, Golden Behemoth, could still go toe-to-toe with a Peak Tier-5 thanks to his monstrous physical strength, and even fight a Half-Step Overlord without losing.

From this, it was clear just how fearsome they all were…

At this moment, as Yu Zi Yu slowly raised his gaze and looked over these familiar yet unfamiliar faces, his eyes couldn’t help but gleam.

“All these years… You’ve worked hard.” His soft voice carried a rare touch of gratitude.

Since he had spent most of his time in seclusion, the current grandeur of the Society of Demons and Fiends and the Demon Court could not have been achieved without their efforts.

“This is our duty.” Suddenly stepping forward, Nine Tails, the Eldest Sister, spoke first.

Then, as if remembering something, she added, “Master, please focus on your cultivation. In this period, we will all train diligently…”

After a brief pause, she then added with assurance, “As for the forces under your command, you need not worry… Our successors are more than capable. Even without us, they can stand firm in the starry skies.”

“En” Yu Zi Yu too nodded his acknowledgement.

His three Disciples were all exceptional.

Then there were the guardians: Slytherin, Osmanthus, and Zi Lian.

Not to mention the new generation of the Demon Court: Quinn, who wielded lightning at her fingertips, and the God Devouring Rat, who had awakened the Godslayers Bloodline… Each of them lived up to the name ‘prodigy.’

With them, Yu Zi Yu had nothing to worry about.

With that in mind, he candidly stated, “I won’t worry.”

As his words fell, Yu Zi Yu raised his eyes to the Nine Realms, then continued, “Now, it’s time for me to seal the Nine Realms…”

At the drop of these words, Spiritual Energy surged around him.

*Boooom, booooom…* With earth-shaking rumbles, the entrance deep within the Demon Court that connected directly to the Nine Realms was closed by Yu Zi Yu himself.

And that wasn’t all…

“Formation, rise…” With a shout, the stars themselves started shifting, and endless Spiritual Energy surged forth like a tsunami.

This was an extremely fearsome Formation Yu Zi Yu had spent countless years constructing within the Nine Realms using his Natal Artifact, Radiant Galaxy, as the core.

It might not be powerful enough to slay a Hegemon, but it was more than enough to keep ordinary Hegemons at bay.

They would find it extremely hard to break through it.

In fact, it was impossible, for this array, even among High-Grade Spirit Formations, was at the pinnacle. It was a combination of all three types of Formations, Trap, Mirage, and Offensive.

“This will do…” Staring at the ever-shifting starry sky, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes slightly narrowed.

However, at this moment, if one were to look outside the Nine Realms, they would witness nine tiny, pearl-sized stars spinning endlessly, tearing through space and fleeing into the deepest recesses of the Void Space.

Only the Void was a place untouchable by the Myriad Races.

Only within the Void… could Yu Zi Yu truly be at ease.

Of course… what brought him the most peace of mind was his other Form.

If one looked toward the direction of those nine spinning stars, they would find they had transformed into a necklace hanging around the neck of a nameless, indescribable creature.

Why indescribable? Simply because it was too immense. So immense that it seemed to carry the boundless Void on its back.

Its every breath caused the very Void to tremble. Every time its long, purple whiskers swayed slightly, they unleashed fearsome turbulence through the Void.

This was the Soaring Purple Dragon, one of Yu Zi Yu’s many Forms.

Now, it had transformed into a terrifying existence dwelling deep within the Void, endlessly absorbing Void Energy thanks to its mastery of the Supreme Principle of Infinity.

By now, its strength had far surpassed the understanding of most beings.

Though it had not yet stepped into the Realm of Hegemony, judging from its aura, it was not far off. After all, it had devoured and absorbed the strongest incarnation of the God of Light…

With the Soaring Purple Dragon guarding the Nine Realms, Yu Zi Yu could rest assured.

As for the Sixteen Holy Wings, it would remain within, protecting from the inside.

With one guarding from within and the other from without, the safety of the Nine Realms was now absolute. From here on, Yu Zi Yu’s sole focus would be cultivation, and cultivation only, until he fully shouldered the Supreme Principles of Spacetime.

…

Thus…

*Hoooo…* Exhaling a long breath, Yu Zi Yu guided his True Body deeper into the heart of the Realm of Mist.

“Other than the Realm of Mist, you may travel freely between the remaining eight realms.”

With this final instruction, Yu Zi Yu’s figure slowly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

“We respectfully see Master off.”

“We respectfully see Master off…”

As their voices rang in unison, the eyes of Nine Tails, Bull Demon, and the others couldn’t stop flickering.

The true cultivation… was finally about to begin.
