“I never thought I would one day travel in space.” In a rare laughter, Yu Zi Yu’s entire body transformed into a streak of light, suddenly zooming deeper into space.

His speed was really fast, unimaginably so. Even the fastest man-made spacecraft would be far outpaced by Yu Zi Yu’s current speed.

Generally, Tier-3 Mutant Beasts adept in speed could match or even exceed the speed of supersonic jets developed by Humans.

But, Yu Zi Yu was at the peak of Tier-5. Besides, he was also a Natural Sacred Spirit. Just how fast he actually was, even Yu Zi Yu himself could not clearly define.

However, Yu Zi Yu was certain that his current speed rivaled, or even surpassed, that of a typical Tier-6 Transcendent.

True Sacred Spirits may not be the strongest, but they were nearly perfect in all aspects. They had no obvious weaknesses.

Yu Zi Yu’s Azure Dragon Form was no exception. Perhaps it could not be compared to the speed of the Great Peng, but it was certainly comparable to other legendary creatures.

At this moment, against the stunning backdrop of glittering stars, Yu Zi Yu’s figure became a streak of nine colours, traversing the cold, lonely depths of space.

Every now and then, a mighty Dragon Roar, transcending the limits of sound, could be heard through the dead silence of outer space. And the very moment this high-pitched Dragon Roar resounded; a surge of fiery heat erupted from Yu Zi Yu’s throat.

Energy was gathering at his throat, an unimaginable amount of energy. Gathering and waiting, waiting for Yu Zi Yu’s true roar.

Right then, Yu Zi Yu’s pupils suddenly contracted, as his gaze fell upon a cluster of meteorites kilometres away.

*Rooooooaar…* A thunderous Dragon Roar reverberated through space as a dazzling azure beam suddenly shot out from Yu Zi Yu’s mouth, zooming through space like a sharp space.

Everything it touched evaporated instantly. Even the distant cluster of meteorites, which happened to be the size of an entire continent on Earth, vanished silently.

Meanwhile, raising a Dragon Claw, Yu Zi Yu pondered thoughtfully, “My strength has surpassed even my own understanding.”

All this time, he had been reluctant to reveal his true form on Earth. While part of this was due to his desire to maintain a low profile, the greater reason was that his strength was beyond belief.

Even the aura radiating from him was enough to crush mountain ranges.

This became even more pronounced when he fused with the Good Fortune Quintessence and reached the peak of Tier-5, reaching an extreme.

Just by being rooted on the Moon, it caused the entire Moon to tremble as if it was about to collapse. Had it not been for the defense of Sweet Osmanthus, the entire Moon might have disappeared into space.

This was the main reason Yu Zi Yu has been keeping his true form rooted in the Void Space recently. It was not that he did not want to root himself on Earth, rather Earth was no longer able to bear his existence.

*Haaaaaaa…* Heaving a sigh, Yu Zi Yu decided to flex his body a little during his journey to Venus, at least until he became familiar with his Azure Dragon Form.

Focusing his eyes, Yu Zi Yu observed himself.

Race: Natural Sacred Spirit
Tier: Tier-5

Innate Talent:

Natural Spirit—A rare type of Life Form nurtured by great fortune and destiny. Born for cultivation, it exhibits a cultivation speed far beyond ordinary understanding and possesses a unique comprehension of the Dao. Exceptional individuals may even be born bearing the so-called ‘Dao’.

Dao: 

Dao of Vitality—Mastery over vitality, allowing it to bring the dead back to life, grow flesh and bones, grant life to all things, and bestow a profound understanding of life. (Comprehension: Less than 0.1%)

Unique Abilities:

Sacred Body—It possesses an extremely sacred body, that is impervious to corruption. It can resist contamination and curses to a significant extent.

Pure Breath—It emits a pure beam like Dragon Breath, that can erase everything in its path. It’s so powerful that a single strike can obliterate a small continent.  

Channeling Vitality—Wraps vitality around the body, enabling the target to recover from severe injuries at a visible rate.

Energy Ball—A visible ball of energy is held in its Dragon Claws respectively, continuously rotating and rising. The longer it gathers, the more terrifying its power becomes.

Levitation—As a naturally born Sacred Spirit, it is unaffected by physical rules. Even without using Spiritual Energy, it can fly instinctively, with speed far exceeding imagination.

After going through the status screen, Yu Zi Yu was completely satisfied.

There was no denying that Azure Dragon Form was quite formidable. And this was just what he could see; there was much more that was not visible on the status screen, but  Yu Zi Yu could easily feel it.

For example, the hardness of his body is probably beyond imagination.

Glancing at his body, at the palm-sized Dragon Scales, shimmering with jade-like luster, Yu Zi Yu noticed an elusive glow within the scales.

These Dragon Scales were much harder than even those of Little Tenth or Sarcosuchus. Even when they have reached Tier-5, Yu Zi Yu reckoned that their scales would unlikely be as hard as Yu Zi Yu’s.

Although Yu Zi Yu’s Dragon Scales could not mitigate the Elemental Damage like theirs, they were far superior in terms of hardness.

Moreover, Yu Zi Yu did not need Dragon Scales to resist Elemental Damage either. With the Grand Divine Ability—Nine Realms of Heaven—Yu Zi Yu could absorb various Elemental attacks and even convert them into his own power.

Compared to mere resistance, Yu Zi Yu’s method was much more terrifying. Therefore, Yu Zi Yu sought only greater hardness. He even used the power of the Steel Element to refine his body.

A metallic luster briefly flashed on Yu Zi Yu’s body. This was not Metalization, but a simple refinement using the Steel Elemental Heart to increase the hardness of his Dragon Scales and improve their defense.

At this moment, if one looked at Yu Zi Yu’s right claw, they would see a silver-gray sphere quietly rotating above his dragon claw. Occasionally, streams of silver-gray energy flowed down and entered Yu Zi Yu’s Dragon Claw, then surged throughout his body.

This was another use of the Steel Elemental Heart—tempering the body to enhance defensive power.

However, at this time, if one turned their gaze to Yu Zi Yu’s other Dragon Claw, they would see a sphere emitting a hazy green light, with streams of green energy flowing down and entering Yu Zi Yu’s body.

This was the Tree Heart, another precious treasure nurtured by Yu Zi Yu.

It contained endless vitality. Endless might be a bit exaggerated, but the vitality was indeed vast.

The Tree Heart and Yu Zi Yu’s Steel Element Heart complement each other.

The tempering effect of the Steel Element Heart enhanced defensive power but also wore away vitality, rendering the body functionless, like losing life. While the vitality flowing from the Tree Heart compensated for this loss.

That was why Yu Zi Yu had said that the Steel Elemental Heart and Tree Heart, one representing life and the other death, conformed with the Supreme Principles, and were a perfect fit.
