A Tribulation was something everyone Transcendent must face once they step into Tier-4.

Although it was a calamity, one which they could die from, it was also an immense opportunity.

*Haha…* A faint laughter echoed through the sky as the figure at the center of the purple light ball took a step forward.

*Thump…* Just as his foot fell, the space beneath it shattered like a mirror.

Right at that very moment, Yu Zi Yu’s foot kicked the air with a thunderous boom, while his figure shot up into the sky, heading straight towards the tribulation clouds gathering in the sky.

*Crackle, crackle, crackle…* One lightning bolt after another struck down, engulfing Yu Zi Yu’s figure in a sea of lightning instantly. Silver-white lightning continuously intertwined with each other, with tiny arcs of electricity spreading across his entire body.

At this moment, Yu Zi Yu suddenly felt a tingling pain coursing through his body, but within this pain, he felt his body and Soul becoming more united. He could even faintly hear a sorrowful wail.

It was a Remnant Soul, the final remnant of the Sea Beast King—the Dark Willow Tree. Now, under the baptism of the Lightning Tribulation, it was completely obliterated.

This also eliminated Yu Zi Yu’s last concern, allowing him to fully control this body.

“This body is truly remarkable.” Yu Zi Yu marveled, raising his hand slowly. Despite the fine silver-white lightning streaking across the surface, Yu Zi Yu could clearly see his pale purple skin, gleaming like jade.

[What a perfect body!? No wonder the Elf Clan was so renowned in the previous era. Their agility and sensitivity has reached the utmost peak.] Just by standing silently in the sea of lightning, Yu Zi Yu could feel countless streams of Spiritual Energy rushing toward him.

What left him even more impressed was his perception of Spiritual Energy, which was even clearer. Red, green, white, purple…He could distinctly see myriad colors of Spiritual Energy flowing around him.

This was the world as seen by the Elves. With their exceptional affinity for Spiritual Energy, the Elves had a clearer understanding and division of it.

As for what a high affinity for Spiritual Energy meant to them: just as Humans needed to breathe, so did Elves. But with every single breath, they absorbed as much Spiritual Energy as a Human would after a short session of cultivation.

It was an extremely terrifying thing. It was also the reason why the Elf Clan had produced so many powerful Transcendents, despite their low population.

However, that was still not the most important thing. The most important thing was that as an Elf, having mastered the Power of Void, Yu Zi Yu had transformed into a Fallen Elf, or to be more accurate, a Fallen Void Elf, which further allowed him to possess a Unique Ability.

Perhaps it was due to the Elves’ terrifying affinity, or maybe it was because Yu Zi Yu’s mastery of Void Energy leaned toward spatial manipulation. Just by closing his eyes, Yu Zi Yu could feel the space within the sea of lightning trembling slightly, like ripples spreading across the surface of a lake.

This was ‘Space.’ A supreme force.

It was terrifyingly powerful, and Yu Zi Yu had an Apostle under his command who possessed a Spatial Innate Talent.

Right now, as a Void Elf, Yu Zi Yu had awakened a rather terrifying ability.

Spatial Perception — Possessing an extraordinary sense of space, you can see the traces of space pockets, and even capture them.
This was an extraordinary ability. At the very least, in Yu Zi Yu’s eyes, this ability had opened a door for him—the door to space.

If before, Yu Zi Yu had only treated this body as a puppet, intending to play around in this world and discard it at will. Now, the status of this body in Yu Zi Yu’s heart had risen immeasurably.

It was even comparable to the Azure Dragon, that wielded the Power of Life, or perhaps even the Soaring Purple Flood Dragon, that carried the faint possibility of bearing the Dao of Infinity.

“By a stroke of luck, I’ve pushed open the door to Space…” murmuring to himself, the corners of Yu Zi Yu’s mouth could not help but rise into a subtle smile.

The power of Space was truly terrifying. If Yu Zi Yu could truly master or even comprehend the Principle of Space, his ability to preserve his life would skyrocket. Even the Sealing Techniques he had recently come to fear could be disregarded.

After all, no matter how powerful the seal was, even if Yu Zi Yu were sealed within an entire world, he would still not be bound by the ‘chains of Space.’

As long as he mastered the Power of Space, Yu Zi Yu could leap to Heaven above or descend to the Underworld below. In this vast universe, there would be nowhere he could not go. No seal could contain him, and no powerful being in Heaven could hold him.

Such was the terror of the Principle of Space.

Of course, that was when one had comprehended it. As for the current Yu Zi Yu, not to mention comprehending the Principle of Space, he had hardly even begun to touch upon the Power of Space. Such thoughts were just fantasies for now.

Shaking his head helplessly, Yu Zi Yu pushed those thoughts aside. [Now’s not the time to yearn for the Principle of Space.]

Slowly lifting his gaze, looking at the Tribulation Clouds filling the sky, Yu Zi Yu did not delay any longer.

[The Remnant Soul has obliterated into nothing. This body had undergone refinement. It’s time to leave.] With that thought, Yu Zi Yu made a grasping motion with his hand.

Immediately…

*Booooom…* With a sudden roar, a purple arrow, resembling a long spear, materialized in Yu Zi Yu’s hand. Purple Spiritual Energy continuously rushed into it, weaving countless intricate patterns. Vaguely, ripples even began to spread through the surrounding space.

“Shatter,” with a soft shout, Yu Zi Yu forcefully hurled the arrow in his hand. The long arrow swished through the air, tearing apart the clouds, stirring up winds for thousands of meters.

A sky-shaking explosion reverberated through the world, before a mushroom cloud reminiscent of a nuclear explosion rose into the sky. Simultaneously, an even more terrifying shockwave spread out, scattering the clouds and revealing a single ray of light on the horizon.

This ray of light fell perfectly onto a strand of Yu Zi Yu’s purple hair. The shimmering strand fluttered in the wind, gently brushing against his sharp and slightly trembling ear.

At this moment, from a certain angle, one could glimpse a sharply defined, stunningly handsome side profile, so striking it seemed as if he had stepped out of a painting. The visible corner of his mouth appeared to lift slightly, forming a delicate arc, seemingly in joy, or perhaps… in anticipation.
