“Mas…ter…” A sudden murmur echoed through the air.

Looking up, one would see a woman standing at a lakeside in a corner of the Realm of Life, having appeared at some unknown point. She wore a long dress of five colors, and her figure was delicate yet curvaceous.

She stood there with regal grace, as if she were the most noble being beneath the heavens.

A beautiful prismatic glow shimmered around her. And even though she stood motionless, countless Spirit Flowers bloomed at her feet.

It was like a divine phenomenon, enough to leave any onlooker entranced.

For anyone who saw her, one thought would naturally arise: ‘A beauty like a flower in the clouds.’

That was the first impression she gave.

She was Aurora, one of Yu Zi Yu’s earliest companions, and also the most mysterious member of the Demon Court, for she had rarely made a public appearance.

In fact, she had been in seclusion for a long time.

However, now, during the moment Yu Zi Yu was drawing the Sea of Principle, she had finally emerged from her deep retreat.

She was radiating a near tangible aura of a Tier-6, and had taken a Human Form.

As a Marvelous Flower of Heaven and Earth, she was no less powerful than a Divine Tree.

And what was a Divine Tree? They stood atop the hierarchy of all tree, the most supreme and terrifying of all.

Take for instance the Divine Bodhi Tree, it was capable of illuminating all paths.

Or the Divine Phoenix Tree, which harbored the flames of Nirvana. It was undying and eternal, and also bore the Phoenix. It was known as the purest tree.

Each and every one of the Divine Tree carried awe-inspiring names, their reputations echoing across Heaven.

And from that, one could imagine how terrifying a Marvelous Flower of Heaven and Earth, like the Five-Colored Spirit Flower, must be.

No, she should not even be called the Five-Colored Spirit Flower anymore, because now, she had faintly awakened a ‘Sixth Color.’

Thus, she could be referred to as Six-Colored Spirit Flower.

Her true race was likely that of the legendary Fleeting Time Flower, a Divine Flower clothed in nine colors, that was rumored to take root at the end of the River of Time.

“Aurora, you’ve finally awakened.”

“Long time no see… Elder Sister.”

As voices called her out one after another, Aurora turned toward them, and saw Bull Demon and White Tiger approaching at a leisurely pace.

“En” Giving a nod, Aurora responded in a gentle and courteous voice, “It’s really been long… if I didn’t wake up soon, I was afraid you all would forget me.”

“How could we possibly forget?” With a hearty laugh, White Tiger spoke up without hesitation.

However, now was clearly not the time for reminiscing, and they raised their heads in unison, staring straight at the illusionary sea that veiled the Heavens.

Everyone who was witnessing this, be that be White Tiger, Bull Demon, or anyone else, all of them wore serious expressions on their faces.

The stronger one was, the more clearly they could feel the terrifying presence of the Sea of Principle above.

If such a sea were to crash down, not even the Nine Realms might be able to withstand it.

And yet now, their Master was holding it aloft with his strength alone.

*Hoooo…* Taking a deep breath, they looked toward the deepest part of the Sea of Principle, where a phantom-like tree shadow held up the Heavens themselves.

Two Dragons, one azure and one violet, coiled at its side.

Nine illusory stars orbited around it, and its long, winding roots happened to be howling toward the sky.

Gazing at it, even Bull Demon couldn’t help but be in awe.

“Master… really is becoming more and more terrifying.” Sighing with admiration, Bull Demon added sincerely, “I believe it won’t be hard for Master to bear the Sea of Principle. If even he can’t, then under the starry sky, probably no one can.”

It was not an exaggeration.

After all, their Master had long achieved a Seventh Order Physique, and his power rivaled that of a true Hegemon.

If even such a peerless genius of this era couldn’t bear the Sea of Principle, it would be too absurd to believe.

Hearing that, White Tiger also nodded with a booming laughter. “Exactly. Of course Master can bear it. We should start preparing for the grand ceremony already…”

Yet while Bull Demon and White Tiger were speaking so optimistically, Aurora’s eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of barely noticeable concern flashing within their depths.

[If it were just one Sea of Principle, Master could certainly bear it. But…is it really just one?]

Raising her gaze slowly, her eyes seemed to pierce through Heaven, seeing far beyond what others could.

She had already seen another Sea of Principle, but one far deeper and more terrifying was gathering above.

It radiated the aura of Time…

As a Fleeting Time Flower, she was attuned to the origin of Time itself. Thus, she naturally recognized its presence.

And now, a Sea of Principle that represented Time was silently forming above their Master.

“Don’t tell me… Master is…” As if realizing something, Aurora’s lips parted slightly, her expression colored by disbelief. “Is he… trying to bear two Seas of Principle at once?”

Shouting in her heart in alarm, Aurora grew more and more uneasy.

To bear one Sea of Principle was already daunting, but if one were to bear two Seas of Principles at the same time, the difficulty would rise several folds. Perhaps tenfold or more.

However, at this moment, what even Aurora did not know was that Yu Zi Yu wasn’t merely trying to bear two Seas of Principles.

Only when Time and Space had perfectly merged, transforming into the Chaos Sea of Spacetime, would Yu Zi Yu take it upon himself to bear it..

And what did that mean? It meant that the Supreme Principle, this eternal and boundless truth of existence, was finally about to descend upon the starry skies.

At that time, the might of Heaven would be unleashed hundreds of times greater than the current Heavenly pressure, spreading through almost half of the Void Space, shaking even the universe on its other side.

To bear a Sea of Principle already unleashed an earth-shaking phenomenon.

But to bear the Supreme Chaos Sea… the spectacle would far surpass even the thunderous display of Yu Zi Yu when his body had reached Seventh Order.

…

Meanwhile, Yu Zi Yu was completely unaware of Aurora’s unease.

Though even if he had known, he likely wouldn’t have cared, because right now, he was already facing considerable trouble.

*Boooom, boooom…* Increasingly terrifying roars shook Heaven and Earth. Even Yu Zi Yu’s consciousness felt the shockwaves.

It was the Sea of Principle, pressing down upon him.

However, that wasn’t the truly terrifying part.

What was terrifying… was the second Sea of Principle still forming above the first.

Time—it was one of the most supreme and mysterious forces of all.

Its profundity could not be touched by the ordinary.

Yu Zi Yu had only gained the Innate Talent to sense the Principle of Time because of Aurora.

And later, by chance, he had even condensed the Gear of Time.

However, that did not mean he had truly comprehended Time.

Compared to Space, which he could perceive at every moment, his connection to Time was far more limited.

In such a state, not to mention fusing Time and Space, even just summoning the Sea of Time Principle was extremely difficult.

…

To summon a Sea of Principle tested one’s comprehension of the Principle and the formation of their Marks.

To shoulder the Sea of Principle, however, was a test of one’s physical body.

This was why anyone aiming to attain the Realm of Hegemon, especially one built upon mighty Principles, not only needed extraordinary insight but also an immensely powerful body.

That was also why so many top-tier powerhouses pursued the Fourth and Fifth Order Physique.

As for the Sixth and Seventh Order Physique…that was something that ordinary geniuses could not even afford to dream.
