As Yu Zi Yu bestowed the title of Moon Goddess upon Osmanthus, an inexplicable feeling, profound and mysterious, suddenly emerged in his heart.
Faintly, Yu Zi Yu felt as though this world had become more complete.
Indeed, this made sense.
The key difference between a Small World and an alternate space lay in the word ‘complete.’ The strength of a Small World depended on its completeness. It grew stronger as it progressed further towards perfection.
In return, the ‘feedback’ to Yu Zi Yu’s main body would also become stronger and more terrifying.
As a popular adage on Earth goes, ‘A Crow knows to repay kindness by caring for its parents, and a young Goat kneels in humility while accepting milk from its Mother.’ Similarly, the Small World, having benefited from Yu Zi Yu’s meticulous care and efforts in raising it to the level of a Small World, would repay him in kind.
At this moment, the Nine Space Pockets, or Nine Realms now to be exact, seemed to have sensed Yu Zi Yu’s thoughts.
(Ashish: Was using Nine Space Pockets until now because they were really alternate spaces. While they are still alternate spaces, they have grown into worlds. So, I will be referring to them as Nine Realms, and their names would also be correspondingly changed.)
*Boooooom…* With thunderous rumbles, all Nine Realms trembled violently. Then, to Yu Zi Yu’s delight, with an earth-shattering roar, a pure and terrifying energy surged into Yu Zi Yu’s main body.
In an instant, a tremor passed through Yu Zi Yu’s entire body. Then his body rooted on Dragon Island, originally towering at a height of over 100 meters, began to grow uncontrollably.
*Boooooom, booooooom, boooooom…* Sending fearsome tremors through Dragon Island again and again, his roots spread about, extending deep into Dragon Island, further into the ocean, and even into the depths of Planet Elysia.
These roots, like mighty Flood Dragons, roared as they stirred the entire sea.
To the naked eye, shadows as vast as continents spread rapidly from the waters surrounding Dragon Island. These were Yu Zi Yu’s roots, and that was just the size of a single one. Many more roots extended in other directions.
At the same time, Yu Zi Yu’s trunk, rooted on Dragon Island, shot up into the sky.
In just a few breaths, it had grown into its full form. Towering into the clouds, its crown, now as large as several megacities on earth, blocked out the Sun.
More importantly, this expansion was still continuing. Yu Zi Yu was having difficulty controlling it, and even harder to manage it.
The vast, galaxy-like power surged through every inch of Yu Zi Yu’s body.
*Crack, crack…* His barks cracked open again and again, but before its pieces could even fall from the trunk, the ancient bark, glowing with a deep black hue like Dragon Scales, slowly regenerated…
This was Immortal Bark, the exclusive bark of Yu Zi Yu’s Immortal Tree Form, far more terrifying than Dragon Scales.
If Dragon Scales could significantly increase Elemental Resistance, then Yu Zi Yu’s Immortal Bark could protect him until the end of time.
Not only did it greatly enhance Elemental Resistance, but it also significantly resisted the majority of physical attacks.
Unless Yu Zi Yu’s Immortal Bark was completely shattered, his Tree Form would be nearly indestructible.
And this was only the beginning.
*Roooooooaar…* A majestic Dragon Roar pierced through the sky, as a phantom of an Azure Dragon, visible to the naked eye, moved around Yu Zi Yu’s trunk, spiraling upwards.
At a closer look, one would discover that this Azure Dragon’s phantom seemed to be carrying Nine Realms on its back, with continents scattered across its body.
*Rooooooaar…* With another majestic roar, the climbing Azure Dragon suddenly accelerated. At the same time, even more vast and majestic energy erupted around Yu Zi Yu’s body.
*Whoosh, whoosh…* Like the roars of surging rivers, Yu Zi Yu could hear the roars of Spiritual Energy.
“Nine Realms’ Protection…” Yu Zi Yu murmured to himself as a sudden realization dawned upon him.
This was the protection offered by the Nine Small Worlds, absorbing half of any damage Yu Zi Yu might sustain.
Of course, this could also be seen as a Grand Divine Ability—the Nine Realms of Heaven’s power to reduce half of any attack against Yu Zi Yu.
There was no real difference between the two.
However, while others diligently train to cultivate Grand Divine Abilities, Yu Zi Yu had nurtured his Grand Divine Abilities like children.
This was where the wonder of Divine Abilities lay. Each Grand Divine Ability was a marvel in itself.
If Yu Zi Yu did not reveal it, who would know the correct way to utilize a Grand Divine Ability like Nine Realms of Heaven?
Of course, even knowing would not help by much. Without Yu Zi Yu’s numerous opportunities and experiences, cultivating a Grand Divine Ability like Nine Realms of Heaven would have been impossible.
…
At this moment…
On Dragon Island, one by one, powerful Transcendents like Sarcosuchus, Lightning Dragon, and others, slowly rose into the sky.
Their eyes were filled with astonishment as they looked at the Gigantic Tree that continued to grow in the distance.
The growing trunk reached so high that its canopy seemed to be merging with the stars.
Nine vortices of varying colors swirled around the Tree, rotating continuously, shining as brilliantly as stars, exuding a divine and extraordinary aura.
However, that was not the most terrifying part.
The most frightening thing was that, amid fearsome earthquakes, one root after another erupted from the ground, sprawling across the entire Dragon Island. These roots intertwined like giant serpents, transforming the entire island into a sea of roots.
Even now, these roots kept squirming, striving to extend farther and farther.
Before their eyes, several super-large Spirit Stone Mines deep within Dragon Island began to dim, seemingly devoured by these countless roots.
The super-large Spirit Stone Mines, that could sustain the cultivation of several, or even dozens, of Tier-4 Transcendents for hundreds of years, had been completely drained in just a few breaths.
“What kind of monster has our Master become?” In rare astonishment, Sarcosuchus’s expression turned grave.
“Has he broken through!?” Voicing his speculation, Little Tenth slowly flew closer. Lightning flickered in his eyes, and his majestic Dragon Eyes held a rare trace of contemplation.
“In my inherited memories, even stepping into Tier-6 doesn’t cause such an overwhelming spectacle…” Murmuring to himself, Sarcosuchus raised his head to gaze at the sky.
After a moment, what met his eyes was a vast vortex of Spiritual Energy rising up. The vortex was immense and rapidly expanding at a visible rate.
In no time, it covered the entire Dragon Island and even the surrounding sea.
At this moment, if one were to look from the distant continent, they would surely notice countless streams of Mana, or Spiritual Energy, all flowing toward the extreme east.
One after another, they formed rivers of Spiritual Energy…
If one followed these rivers of Spiritual Energy, at the distant horizon, they would see that the rivers converged into a massive vortex of Spiritual Energy, a vortex so vast that it seemed that it could sweep the entire world.
Within that immense vortex, nine otherworldly, star-like nine-colored vortices quietly revolved. However, these vortices did not revolve in a simple left-to-right cycle. Instead, they moved unpredictably, shifting up and down, left and right.
Of course, this was not entirely without pattern; rather, their movement followed a profound principle that only the most extraordinary beings could comprehend.
