*Boooooom…* A deafening roar echoed as the entire Realm of Life trembled violently.

 

In the next moment, Spiritual energy surged, and a visible green storm swept through the Realm of Life.

 

This storm originated from Yu Zi Yu, who was inhaling and exhaling Spiritual energy. Yet, his current breathing was nothing short of terrifying, akin to a whale’s song, consuming the Heavens and devouring the Earth.

 

*Boooooom…* Another thunderous roar erupted as the green storm centered around Yu Zi Yu’s true form, a Colossal Tree that seemed to prop up the starry sky, suddenly expanded.

 

Accompanying this were countless Willow Branches, akin to mystical glowing chains, swaying and stirring torrents of Spiritual energy.

 

“This commotion… far surpasses any of the previous cultivation sessions,” Yu Zi Yu murmured in awe, observing the spectacle that enveloped the entire realm, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

 

If one were to focus on his true form, they would see two colossal Dragon silhouettes—one azure and the other purple—coiling and spiraling upward around him.

 

When Yu Zi Yu started cultivating, the Azure and Purple Dragons, the vessels of Yu Zi Yu’s power, also sensed it, and they too started cultivating. Thus, it was not just his Immortal Tree Form that was absorbing Spiritual energy; it was a trifecta of entities—his true form, the Azure Dragon, and the Purple Dragon—three Tier-6 entities—cultivating simultaneously.

 

As a result, the spectacle was exponentially more intense, far surpassing any previous commotion.

 

Although the Azure and Purple Dragons were each tens of thousands of meters long, they were still dwarfed by Yu Zi Yu’s Immortal Tree Form. This created a harmonious and awe-inspiring scene as the two Dragons coiled around the ginormous tree.

 

The vision surrounding Yu Zi Yu was nothing short of extraordinary: Nine stars, akin to celestial bodies orbited around him. His roots, resembling Flood Dragons, delved deep into the Void Space. His countless Willow Branches formed a shimmering network of divine chains across the sky.

 

And now, with the addition of the two Dragons, the sight was even more breathtaking.

 

*Tsk tsk…* Clicking his tongue in wonder, Yu Zi Yu could not help but marvel at himself.

 

[No wonder—the more powerful an existence is, the more extraordinary they become. Even the phenomenon I was displaying just now is enough to leave others in awe.

 

As for those truly formidable beings, their grandeur would naturally be unparalleled.

 

Take, for example, there exists a record that tells the tale of a transcendent figure who possessed a flawless Physique, whose very presence was like the Moon’s radiance. Wreathed in wisps of white mist, they appeared as if carved from divinity itself. They were surrounded by 3,000 orbs of light, each representing an individual world. To carry three thousand worlds… what a spectacle that must be!

 

Then, there’s the tale of a legendary human powerhouse who, with each step, summoned a tide of violet energy stretching three million kilometres. It was truly breathtaking…

 

[Compared to such entities, my current state is but a step along the path. There is still much further to go]

 

*Haaaa…* Exhaling a long, deep breath, Yu Zi Yu calmed his envy, while a contemplative glint flickered in his eyes.

 

[If my guess is right, once I ascend to the Realm of Hegemony, my manifestations would not pale in comparison to these legends.]

 

Yu Zi Yu could clearly picture the entire thing. He believed that since he was already this remarkable, the future definitely held unimaginable possibilities.

 

“Soon… Very soon…” A sense of exhilaration washed over Yu Zi Yu as he whispered to himself.

 

Currently, he was on the verge of stepping into the Sixth Order of Tier-6, a milestone that marked the pinnacle of strength across countless eras.

 

The Sixth Order was no trivial matter. It symbolized that he was merely one step away from the Seventh Order, often referred to as a ‘Half-Step Hegemon.’

 

Moreover, the significance of a Sixth Order Tier-6 Transcendent lay in their 50% chance of reaching the Realm of Hegemony.

 

What does 50% signify?

 

It meant that if nothing went wrong, one was destined to step into Tier-7.

 

Such beings, even in the presence of true Hegemons, were treated with utmost respect.

 

After all, those who managed to unearth their potential six times and then ascended to Hegemony possessed terrifying combat strength that was far beyond ordinary comprehension.

 

Additionally, there lay another crucial point: those who achieve Realm of Hegemony at the Sixth Order found it relatively easier to pursue Eternity in the future.

 

In fact, those at the Fifth Order only had about a 10% chance of attaining Realm of Hegemony.

 

For those at the Fourth Order or Third Order, the likelihood dwindles further into insignificance.

 

And for those at the First Order or Second Order, the probability was practically zero.

 

Their bodies simply could not endure the strain, even before considering other factors.

 

This was precisely why Yu Zi Yu paid no heed to Tier-6 Transcendents at the First or Second Order.

 

They were simply not on the same level.

 

Why lower his gaze to notice those who pose no threat?

 

The only ones who could truly compete with him are the peerless prodigies among the Myriad Races of the cosmos.

 

Without dwelling further, Yu Zi Yu suppressed his thoughts after a brief moment of reflection and resumed absorbing Spiritual energy, diligently preparing for his breakthrough in half a month’s time.

 

…

 

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

 

On this day…

 

*Boooooom…* A sudden roar shook the entire Realm of Life.

 

Sensing the disturbance, Bing Xue—the Primordial Elf of the Realm of Ice, who had been honing herself—suddenly raised her gaze, exclaiming in shock, “The world is resonating.”

 

As the first generation of life nurtured by her world, Bing Xue could distinctly perceive the entire Realm of Ice trembling.

 

It was an indescribable sensation—profound yet vivid—like the sudden beat of the world’s heart.

 

At that moment, her gaze sharpened as she noticed an unending surge of Ice-Attribute Spiritual energy gathering in the skies.

 

The energy then transcended space, streaming toward the depths of the Realm of Life.

 

This phenomenon was not limited to the Realm of Ice. All the other Realms began exhibiting similar anomalies.

 

*Booooom, booooom, boooooom…*

 

One after another, torrents of Spiritual energy tore through the barriers of their worlds, pouring into the Realm of Life.

 

And these torrents—how terrifying were they? Looking up, they blanketed the entire sky, resembling a celestial river cascading from the Nine Heavens.

 

The sight was indescribably awe-inspiring and frightening.

 

The sheer concentration of gathered Spiritual energy, if detonated, would likely devastate an entire realm.

 

Yet now, under the guidance of an invisible force, these torrents of Spiritual energy flowed in perfect order, converging toward the sky’s zenith—toward the torn barriers of the Realm of Life.
