In the deepest reaches of the Void lay an endless expanse, boundless and immeasurable.

At this moment…

*Boooooom…* A deafening roar, resembling rolling thunder, reverberated through the void. However, it was no thunderclap, it was the sound of breathing of a lifeform so vast, so inconceivably powerful, that the Heavens themselves seemed to shudder.

Such a lifeform had never been seen before, had never been heard of.

And should one dare to lift their eyes toward this figure coiled in the distance, they would find words torn from their throats. For there, sprawled across infinity, was a Dragon without end.

Its colossal body stretched endlessly through the Void, its length trailing beyond the eye’s reach. Its each scale gleamed with a chilling violet luster, as if carved from the Void itself. Its head, vast as a star, radiated majesty and defiance. Its pair of sharp and enormous dragon horns, gathering torrents of violet light, gave the feeling as though they would rend the fabric of space apart.

Currently, it lay coiled, like some Heavenly Python at rest. However, even if in its slumbering, it exuded a power that threatened to crush the cosmos.

Yu Zi Yu knew well that if this dragon ever appeared in the starry universe, its colossal body could coil around the Solar System, threading all nine planets upon its length as though stringing beads across the firmament.

This was the Soaring Purple Dragon, the one who carried the Supreme Principle of Infinity.

However, Yu Zi Yu preferred another name that Avril and the others had given it: the Infinite Dragon God. The Void Hegemon, the Ender of Everything.

These titles sounded quite divine and domineering, and would surely resound through the universe.

And now…

“So this is the Void Hegemon, who transcends all things…” Zi Er, the Primordial Elf of the Void, could not contain her awe. Her violet-gem eyes widened as she gazed upon the endless dragon that stretched into eternity, its full form beyond comprehension.

“Haha…” Yu Zi Yu only chuckled softly, offering no explanation.

The Void Hegemon who transcends all things was already a legend, renowned far and wide. Even Zi Er, who rarely stepped beyond her domain, had heard of it.

What she did not know, however, was that this unfathomable dragon was none other than Yu Zi Yu’s second form.

However, she could faintly sense a profound connection between Yu Zi Yu and the Void.

And it was perfectly normal.

As a child of the Void, Zi Er possessed extraordinary sensitivity to the Void, and naturally, she could sense the profound essence of the Void hidden beneath Yu Zi Yu’s surface.

…

“Step aside, I need to help him break through,” with that calm command, Yu Zi Yu gestured Zi Er away.

Then, under her astonished gaze, Yu Zi Yu raised his hand and a violet lotus unfurled in his palm.

Silently yet resplendently, the violet lotus bloomed.

*Rumble… Rumble…* An ocean of Void Energy surged forth, gathering into a violet storm, sweeping madly toward the lotus.

At the same time, an intoxicating fragrance unlike any other spread through the void, drawing countless Void Creatures.

However, before they could approach…

*Boooom…* The mighty aura of the Void Sovereign cascaded down, crushing the Void into silence.

*Booooom…* With a resounding explosion, the Void shook, causing all the Void Creatures to retreat.

“A bunch of ants… and you dare covet the Void Lotus?” Yu Zi Yu’s disdainful voice rang cold, sharper than any blade.

The violet lotus was far too important to him to be tainted by another’s touch.

However, before he could grant the lotus to the Void Dragon, Yu Zi Yu still had one more thing to do.

*Boooom, boooom, boooom…* Accompanied by surging of Spiritual Energy, Yu Zi Yu’s brow trembled.

In the next moment, from his fingertips, streams of silver-gray energy burst forth. This was the Spacetime Spiritual Energy, the purest and highest form of energy Yu Zi Yu had refined.

The most important aspect of a Hegemon’s cultivation was purifying the Spiritual Energy.

When Yu Zi Yu’s entire Spiritual Energy had been converted into Spacetime Spiritual Energy, he would almost be ready to break through Heaven’s Door and enter the Road to Ascension.

Even after all these years, Yu Zi Yu had only managed to convert 3-4 percent of his Spiritual Energy. The road ahead for him was still long and arduous.

At this moment, like a Spirit Snake, the threads of Spacetime Spiritual Energy, guided by Yu Zi Yu, began to swirl, coiled, and even swim around the violet lotus.

“Time as the medium, space as the vessel… arise!” Suddenly, a low murmur fell from his lips, yet it resounded with majesty as if a law was proclaimed.

No sooner than these words left his lips, a grand and unfathomably intricate formation surged to life, blossoming into existence within the Void itself, shrouding the entirety of the Void Lotus.

This was the Spacetime Grand Formation, constructed using the meagre Spacetime Spiritual Energy of Yu Zi Yu. Its sole purpose was to force the lotus to grow to its utmost potential within a short period.

The violet lotus was a treasure born of the void; only here, within the endless expanse of nothingness, could it drink freely of the infinite, inexhaustible Void Energy. If this Formation was laid within the Realm of Void, its Void Energy would be sucked dry in the blink of an eye.

But here… it was different.

Here stretched the boundless Void, immeasurable, inexhaustible.

And so…

*Boooom… boooom… boooom…* Thunderous reverberations shook the Void.

Then came a horrific sight that would leave even the seasoned eyes in shock, the violet lotus inside the formation began to spin. And its speed grew faster and faster, as if time itself was accelerating, plunging it into a fast-forwarding world.

Accompanying this, the boundless Void Energy in the surroundings gathered into even more fearsome storms, surging like endless maelstroms into the heart of the formation.

*Booooom… booooom… booooom…* The tremors grew even more dreadful, sweeping across hundreds of thousands of kilometers, or even further.

And all of this because Yu Zi Yu was defying fate itself, bending it to his Will, granting the violet lotus decades, even centuries of growth in but a fleeting instant.

However, the cost was staggering: the Spacetime Spiritual Energy poured out of him at a terrifying rate. Large beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead, but his gaze did not waver.

The violet storm only grew more cataclysmic, swelling beyond all imagination.

All things obeyed the law of equivalent exchange. The Spiritual Energy required for its growth would not decrease simply because time had been hastened.

On the contrary, its demand only became more monstrous.

This was because the Void Energy was also lost as it passed through the space-time barrier of the Grand Spacetime Formation.

Thus, if 100 units of Void Energy was required for it to naturally grow over a millennium, it now required 200 units, or even 300 units.

And the unit here was merely an imaginary scale.

By Yu Zi Yu’s own estimation, even the entire energy of the Realm of Void would not be equivalent to 100 units of Void Energy.

Thus, only in this boundless expanse of the greater void could such a formation take root.

Only here, where Void Energy was infinite, could the Void Lotus truly mature.

“Reagrdless of whether you can mature or not, I have no choice.” A faint sigh left his lips.

Standing within the eye of the violet storm, Yu Zi Yu watched calmly as the lotus spun faster and faster, until it became a blazing sphere of violet light.
