With a single gulp, the Dragon consumed an entire realm.

 

Its terrifying might left not only the disciples of the Heavenly Court in stunned silence but even Tundra, who was resting outside, utterly astonished.

 

After a moment, forcing back the twitching at the corner of his eye, Tundra could not help but sigh, “Lord Purple Dragon’s every move is nothing short of overwhelming.”

 

[The last time Lord Purple Dragon acted, he had seized an entire city with just one Dragon Claw. This time, he had devoured an entire Secret Realm in one bite. While the size of a Secret Realm might not be as vast as Earth, it is still comparable to one or two Moons. Yet, despite its immense size, Lord Purple Dragon has effortlessly consumed in a single gulp…]

 

“…” Suppressing the shock in his heart, just as Tundra was about to say something, his body suddenly trembled.

 

Looking up, he saw a green vortex appear not far away.

 

“Return to the Realm of Life. We’ll move to a different place.” Hearing the command, Tundra lifted his massive form and stepped into the vortex without a moment of hesitation.

 

Not long after Tundra disappeared—

 

*Rooooaar…* A deafening Dragon Roar echoed through the Heavens as Yu Zi Yu, controlling his Purple Dragon Form, lashed his tail and surged into the depths of the Void Space.

 

For Yu Zi Yu, there was no place safer than the Void Space.

 

Void Space, vast and desolate, was the shadow of the universe. Amid its kaleidoscopic chaos resided unfathomable forces.

 

For the myriad races living in the universe, entering the Void Space recklessly often led to them becoming lost.

 

Even a Tier-5 True God could easily vanish forever if they ventured into the Void Space unprepared.

 

Though the void did not pose immediate danger, its erratic nature made navigation treacherous.

 

Without precise coordinates, one might find themselves in the Kadar Star Domain one moment, only to exit the Void Space and arrive in the Titan Star Domain the next.

 

For this reason, the myriad races avoided the Void Space unless absolutely necessary.

 

If they did venture into it, they always made meticulous preparations, such as setting a predetermined location.

 

But for Yu Zi Yu, none of this was a concern.

 

As a being capable of surviving in the Void Space, Yu Zi Yu’s Purple Dragon Form was like a fish returning to the sea within the Void Space.

 

The safety it offered was unparalleled.

 

Now, Yu Zi Yu, controlling his Purple Dragon Form, coiled himself in the depths of the Void Space.

 

*Rooooaar…* A resonant Dragon Roar rumbled as his gleaming, flickering Dragon Eyes slowly closed.

 

At this moment, Yu Zi Yu’s consciousness returned to his True Body.

 

“Finally found it…” a soft murmur escaped a Towering Tree rooted in the deepest part of the Realm of Life, one so ginormous that it appeared as if it was supporting the entire starry sky, its form aglow with faint starlight.

 

Moments later…

 

Countless roots emerged from the ground, intertwining with each other, gradually weaving a tall, white silhouette.

 

Dressed in snow-white robes, exuding an air of elegance and poise, the figure radiated a noble presence.

 

At this moment, Yu Zi Yu, who had taken on the Humanoid Form, could not hide the joy on his face, his eyes fixed intently on the fragment in his hand.

 

It was a semi-circular fragment, rusted and ordinary in appearance. Yet, this seemingly unremarkable fragment brought a faint smile to Yu Zi Yu’s lips, an expression of uncontainable delight.

 

“…One-third of the Tai Chi Diagram…” murmuring Yu Zi Yu, a profound, knowing smile blanketing his face.

 

Over a decade ago, when Spiritual Energy had just begun to resurge, a massive wave of energy erupted from the Kadar Star Domain, shaking the entire domain.

 

It was during this time that countless silver, ethereal chains descended from Heaven.

 

In that catastrophe, the greatest foundation of the Heavenly Court from the last era, the most fearsome Imperial Artifact, the Tai Chi Diagram, was shattered.

 

Split into three fragments, the pieces scattered to the far corners of the universe.

 

Only one fragment remained in the Kadar Star Domain.

 

This marked the downfall of the Heavenly Court, which, despite its impending resurgence, was forced into the shadows, searching relentlessly for the lost fragments of the Imperial Artifact.

 

This search was the true reason the Heavenly Court had remained hidden, refraining from stepping back into the universe.

 

And now…

 

The semi-circular fragment in Yu Zi Yu’s hand was one piece of the Tai Chi Diagram.

 

Gazing at it intently—

 

*Boooooom…* A sudden roar resonated as a profound Daoist aura spread out. Black and white energies twisted and tangled around the fragment, emanating an indescribable mysticism.

 

Yin and Yang Energies: The world divided into Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang into Five Elements. Yin and Yang are the two the most fundamental forces of existence, rivaling the mythical powers of Space and Time.

 

Studying it deeply, a contemplative look flickered in Yu Zi Yu’s eyes.

 

This was the Imperial Artifact he had sought for so many years—the Tai Chi Diagram.

 

However, its Artifact Spirit was gone, leaving the fragment’s power at less than 1% of its original might.

 

According to the Heavenly Court’s members, since the fateful catastrophe brought down by the Heavenly Dao, the Tai Chi Diagram’s Artifact Spirit had never resurfaced.

 

[“If my guess is correct, the Artifact Spirit was either shattered by the Heavenly Dao or drained of its energy and has fallen into slumber…] Yu Zi Yu was lost in thought. [Still, this might not be a bad thing.]

 

At the very least, Yu Zi Yu did not have to worry about the Imperial Artifact reviving any time soon.

 

And more importantly, even as a mere fragment, this semi-circular piece retained unfathomable abilities.

 

For instance, it could nurture Yin and Yang Energies.

 

Over time, strands of Yin and Yang Energies would form naturally.

 

The value of these Yin and Yang Energies could not be overstated. Leaving aside everything else, the fact that it rivalled the legendary powers of Space and Time alone highlighted its significance.

 

As Yu Zi Yu understood it, these rare Yin and Yang Energies could be used both for cultivation and for refining Artifacts, making them Supreme Treasures.

 

For cultivation, those pursuing the Dao of Yin and Yang would see their progress accelerate dramatically with these energies, potentially reaching beyond Tier-6.

 

The Yin and Yang Energies nurtured by the Imperial Artifact fragment were the purest of their kind, far superior to anything cultivated or extracted artificially.

 

As for forging Artifacts, history offered clear evidence.

 

Several epochs ago, an Extreme Dao Artifact called the Yin and Yang Energy Bottle was forged using Yin and Yang Energies. Its quality reached Tier-7 Peerless-Grade, with power so devastating it defied comprehension.

 

More importantly, for Yu Zi Yu, these Yin and Yang Energies represented a monumental opportunity.

 

According to ancient legends, a mighty being once created Heaven and Earth, existed in his body were the Yin and Yang Energies. The Yang Energy rose to form the Heavens, while Yin descended to create the Earth. Then, from the union of Yin and Yang, all things were born.

 

This hinted at another potential use for Yin and Yang Energies: perfecting the Nine Realms.

 

By refining the Nine Realms, they could evolve further, paving the way to ascend into a Great World.

 

Contemplating this, the smile in Yu Zi Yu’s eyes deepened even further.
