“Besides the change in the Commander of the Legion of Light and the Legion of Darkness being led by Nether Tiger, there will be adjustments in the other legions as well.” With that, Yu Zi Yu outlined the changes and reorganized the various legions.

From now on, every legion had a Commander and a Vice-Commander, and both positions required Natural Disaster-Class combat strength.

At present, Misty Mountains had a total of seven Elemental Legions.

They were named after the seven Space Pockets of Yu Zi Yu’s Grand Divine Ability—Nine Realms of Heaven, excluding the Pocket of Mist and the mysterious Pocket of Void: the Legion of Ice, Fire, Life, Earth, Lightning, Light, and Darkness.

Among them, the Legion of Life might be more accurately called the Legion of Vitality. However, since the Legion of Vitality did not sound as pleasant, so it was referred to as the Legion of Life. Queen Thorns served as its Commander, and Osmanthus as its Vice-Commander.

Queen Thorns had recently broken through to Tier-4. Although she had just become a Tier-4 Transcendent, her foundation was still deep and combat strength formidable.

Her means were particularly sinister; after stepping into Tier-4, she had been able to convert her Spiritual Energy into Blood Energy, which allowed her to manipulate the blood of others.

Just a bit of negligence on her opponent’s part would allow her to drain their blood, turning them into a desiccated corpse.

Adding more to the dread, she could even convert others’ blood into energy for her own use.

While she might still be lacking in combat strength compared to other top-tier Natural Disasters, her horrifying and sinister means bridged that gap.

As for Osmanthus, she needed no further introduction. As a Heaven and Earth Spirit Tree, rooted on the Moon, she may not be very good at pursuit, but her combat power was unparalleled on the Moon.

Take the present situation, for example: None of the Natural Disaster-Class Mutant Beasts of Misty Mountains could contend with Osmanthus on the Moon.

Osmanthus, also known as the Immortal Sweet Osmanthus Tree, could heal from grave injuries instantly so long as she had ample Lunar Energy. In essence, she was a Heaven and Earth Spirit Tree version of the Undying Blood Raven.

However, compared to the Undying Blood Raven, Osmanthus’ combat strength was even more terrifying on the Moon. After all, she was a Heaven and Earth Spirit Tree.

Although cultivation was extremely long and arduous for Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures like her, and they were targets of countless experts’ greed, there was a silver lining to it.

Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures that had matured, whether it was Sweet Osmanthus or Aurora, were the top existences in their respective Tier.

As for Yu Zi Yu, he did not need any introduction. His combat strength had long surpassed that of prodigies and geniuses, reaching levels beyond common understanding.

Reflecting on this, Yu Zi Yu could not help but think of an adage, ‘Who can truly declare themselves invincible, or boldly claim they are forever unbeaten?’

This saying might have been bold tens of thousands years in the future, when the world had entered the golden age of cultivation, when powerful experts could be found everywhere. However, for now, Yu Zi Yu dared to claim invincibility.

For this was an Era of Spiritual Energy Resurgence, where everything started anew. Of course, the chosen Heaven-Connecting Jianmu was conveniently ignored by Yu Zi Yu.

Perhaps it is because the Heaven-Connecting Jianmu had done him a favor, helping him uphold the Nine Realms. Or perhaps, on a subconscious level, Yu Zi Yu had always regarded the Heaven-Connecting Jianmu as a tool of the Heavenly Dao.

In any case, Yu Zi Yu did not count it among the list of strong beings.

In light of this, Yu Zi Yu could truly dare to claim himself invincible and undefeated.

In today’s universe, there might be those who could match his cultivation level, but no one could match his combat strength.

With the Dao-Protecting Artifact in his hand, having reached the peak of Tier-5, and evolved in various ways beyond description, Yu Zi Yu had naturally acquired the confidence to sweep through the present world.

And for this, the Dao-Protecting Artifact—the Radiant Galaxy—was indispensable. It had eliminated his mundane concerns and troubles, strengthening his ‘heart of a strong.’

“In this world, I should be invincible…” With a smile in his heart, Yu Zi Yu reaffirmed this thought.

If he did not have such confidence, how could he dare pursue Hegemony (Tier-7) or even Eternity (Tier-8)?

Even in the previous era, becoming a Hegemon or an Eternal was the mark of the era’s greatest prodigies. Each and every single one of them had carved legends of their invincibility.

In this new era, all ancient monsters had long since disappeared. As such, Yu Zi Yu’s confidence was further bolstered.

In fact, Yu Zi Yu even aspired to become the most hidden ‘monster’ of this era.

In tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, when the universe had entered the golden age of cultivation, when strong experts abound, whoever dared to claim themselves invincible and undefeated, he would secretly emerge and strike them down with a single blow.

*Hehe…* At this thought, Yu Zi Yu could not help but snicker. This was what he dreamed of the most.

[But for now…] After casting a deep glance at the fervent gazes of the Mutant Beasts on the Void Continent, Yu Zi Yu began to issue instructions once again.

There were not many instructions. In essence, Misty Mountains would be completely managed by the Nine Great Beasts.  Each legion, led by their respective Commanders, would have absolute authority. And finally, the formation of the legions would entirely depend on personal abilities.

Yu Zi Yu even stated that he would not mind if they left Misty Mountains to conquer territories outside.

As he continued issuing instructions, the eyes of the Mutant Beasts on the Void Continent gleamed even more brightly.

However, at this moment, seemingly realizing something, Nine Tails suddenly asked, “Master, why does it feel like you’re leaving, and these are your final instructions?”

“Final instructions, huh?” With a playful smile, Yu Zi Yu nodded in confirmation and stated frankly, you’re right, I’ll be leaving soon…”

Hearing this, the faces of Nine Tails, Bull Demon, and the other Mutant Beasts changed drastically, and they exclaimed in shock, “You’re leaving!?”

“Master, where are you going?”

…

Everyone broke into exclamations. Some of the more emotional Mutant Beasts even lunged forward.

However, after a moment, Yu Zi Yu raised his branches to block the approaching White Tiger and Nine Tails, and explained with a smile, “The Alien World is, after all, an unknown world. I want to see it for myself first. But don’t worry, my strength is more than enough to guarantee my safety. What you need to do is to organize troops on Earth and be ready to launch an attack on the Alien World… If possible, I will guide you from the Alien World. At that time, we will coordinate and conquer the entire Alien World together…”

As he spoke, a flash of brilliance appeared in Yu Zi Yu’s eyes.

He believed it was time for him to go out and explore. His Spiritual Energy had reached its utmost peak. His true body was also incredibly vast and powerful, resembling a continent. While his primary root had transformed into a Dragon, and his branches into mystical divine chains.

Each and every thing pointed to one single conclusion, he had reached a kind of bottleneck. Now, in order to break through, either he could further develop the Grand Divine Ability—Nine Realms of Heaven, making his Space Pockets grow into Small Worlds, or he could step into Tier-6.

Either of these goals were not achievable overnight. According to Yu Zi Yu’s estimate, even in this Great Era of Spiritual Energy Resurgence, it would be next to impossible to achieve in less than 1,000 years.

This was not an exaggeration. It was a fact. Cultivation itself was a form of evolution, and evolution was often lengthy.

Yu Zi Yu’s rapid rise to the peak of Tier-5 in just a few years, surpassing the progress of cultivators from the previous era who took 1,000 or even 10,000 years, was already a miracle. Now, it was time for him to consolidate his progress.

In fact, Yu Zi Yu was quite satisfied with his progress. After all, many Tier-4 Natural Disasters of Earth, without significant opportunities, could not even touch the edge of Tier-5 after decades or even a century of accumulation.

And that was the true nature of cultivation. Cultivation is ultimately a long and arduous path!

As for Yu Zi Yu, having Evolution Points and encountering great fortunes allowed him to leap to the peak of Tier-5.

Ashish: ‘Who can truly declare themselves invincible, or boldly claim they are forever unbeaten?’

It expresses the idea that no one can truly claim to be unbeatable or invincible, emphasizing the humility and uncertainty that even the strongest must face. It’s a reminder that everyone is fallible, no matter how powerful they are.
