“Well then… I suppose I should get serious.” The Imperial Artifact True Spirit let out a soft chuckle, before lifting his finger and pointing toward the sky.

The next moment…

*Booooom…* A sudden explosion roared across the sky, as a terrifying scene began to unfold.

With thunderous howls, the countless Wind Dragons at the edge of the sky began to converge. Twisting and dancing around each other, they merged into one single massive vortex.

Just as the whirlwind of destruction came into existence, the entire world fell silent.

And then—

Before Yu Zi Yu could even react, a scene unfolded that caused his expression to change.

*Crack…crack…crack…* Cracking sounds filled the sky, as his branches, coiled and twisted into Wood Dragons, instantly shattered and disintegrated, reduced to dust that scattered through the sky, in succession.

“What terrifying power…” A flicker of fear flashed through Yu Zi Yu’s eyes.

He was not the one to be easily shaken.

After all, his True Form was that of the Immortal Tree. He was unkillable, indestructible. Immortality was his very essence!

Yet now, this storm vortex, forged from an unknown force, had instantly obliterated his Wood Dragons.

What was even more terrifying, the devastating vortex was behaving like a black hole, swallowing the dust and fragments of his broken branches.

And as it devoured, its power only grew stronger. So powerful that even light itself seemed to be drawn in, vanishing into the abyss. So destructive that every single gust of wind it released seemed capable of tearing space apart.

Even Yu Zi Yu, whose strength defied reason, couldn’t help but have the corner of his eye twitch at the sight.

“As expected… I can’t hold back anymore.” With a deep sigh, Yu Zi Yu came to a decision.

This was a trial.

A test to earn the recognition of the Imperial Artifact.

Not to become his Master, but to prove that he was worthy of speaking as an equal.

If Yu Zi Yu failed to withstand this attack, then he would have left with no option but to retreat. After all, a weakling was not worthy of the Imperial Artifact’s attention.

The only reason the True Spirit had yet to annihilate him was because of the offering he had prepared.

The strong reign supreme.

And now—this truth was laid bare.

If Yu Zi Yu prevailed, however, everything would change. Perhaps, he would even earn the right to speak with the Imperial Artifact True Spirit as an equal.

With this thought, Yu Zi Yu hardened his resolve.

*Hooooo…* He took a deep breath, as a blood-red eye slowly opened on his trunk.

And the moment this crimson eye unveiled itself…

*Booooom…* A deafening shockwave erupted, shaking the entire world.

At that moment, the True Spirit, as he gazed upon with suspicion, caught sight of something unnerving: Within the depths of Yu Zi Yu’s blood-red eye, he saw a starry sky, with nine radiant shimmering with dazzling colors.

“Is this… a Heavenly Eye?” Mumbled the True Spirit in a voice filled with uncertainty, while his expression underwent a slight change.

Simply because, the very next moment…

“The Nine Realms of Heaven…” An eerie voice echoed through the skies, before a thunderous clap erupted atop Yu Zi Yu’s majestic canopy blotting out the sky.

Then, a star suddenly manifested, before…

Another explosion erupted, then another…

Amidst the cascade of nine explosions, a total of nine stars, pulsating with dazzling radiances, suspended themselves high above the Heavens.

Each one spanned thousands of meters, yet their very presence seemed to weigh down upon the world, even invoking the rejection of the realm itself.

*Crackle, crackle…* Like divine punishment, bolts of lightning wove around the nine stars, yet not a single one dared to approach.

Because these nine stars were nine Small Worlds.

Garden of Eden, vast as it was, was still just a single Small World.

And now, nine similar Small Worlds had manifested within it. Had Yu Zi Yu not actively suppressed their power, the mere pressure from them alone would have been enough to shatter the entire Eden.

Even so, the sky itself began to shatter at the very center of the nine stars.

*Crack, crack…* One after another, enormous pitch-black fissures, each spanning tens of thousands of meters, ripped across Heaven.

Before everyone’s eyes, the world started to fissure, collapse.

“You… You actually possess nine worlds at this cultivation level!?” The corner of the Imperial Artifact True Spirit’s eyes twitched as he gazed at the descending nine Small Worlds.

The nine stars, the nine Small Worlds, to him at his peak might not have been a concern, but now, the Era of Spiritual Energy had only just begun! The world had not yet entered its true golden age, and yet, a meter Tier-6 already possessed nine complete Small Worlds!?

What left the True Spirit even more unsettled was that as the nine worlds slowly descended, there showcased resonance, radiated a peculiar energy that stirred even his heart –the heart of an Imperial Artifact True Spirit.

“These… These are nine small worlds on the verge of ascending into Great Worlds!” A rare moment of bewilderment overtook the True Spirit, rendering it momentarily speechless.

[What kind of fortune does he possess!? Even just one such Small World, with the potential to ascend into a Great World, is a treasure that even Eternals would covet. And yet, a mere Tier-6 being now possesses not just one, but nine of them!?]

*Haaaaa…* Heaving a deep sigh, the Imperial Artifact True Spirit slowly waved his right hand. Immediately, a thunderous shockwave rippled outward, before Yu Zi Yu felt the pressing force of the Nine Realms abruptly halt.

At the same time, a complicated voice rang in Yu Zi Yu’s mind, “Young one… I believe we need to have a serious conversation.”

“Agreed.” As Yu Zi Yu replied, both Yu Zi Yu and the Imperial Artifact True Spirit withdrew their power.

The clouds parted and the storm slowly died down.

Soon, the Garden of Eden returned to its former tranquility.

As for the nine mighty glittering stars that once threatened to crush the sky, they gradually dimmed before vanishing from the sky.

Not long after, at the heart of Eden, on a secluded island, stood a table with two chairs.

Seated upon them were two figures, each enveloped in a radiant glow.

One bore sixteen golden wings, luminous as divine sunlight.

The other had a Towering Tree, though only three meters tall, floating silently behind it.
