Amidst the earth-shattering battle, a voice, seemingly advising him, suddenly echoed in Yu Zi Yu’s mind, “If you can hold on for just a little longer… their defeat will be inevitable.”

This revelation immediately took Yu Zi Yu by surprise, and momentarily faltered.

[Their defeat!? Is that even possible]

Lifting his gaze, he stared at the three figures whose auras were growing increasingly terrifying, even reaching a level of sheer dread. Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

At that moment, as if sensing his thoughts, the voice of the Sixteen Holy Wings’s True Spirit echoed in his mind once more, “The revival of the Netherworld Divine Armor is fueled by an extremely sinister sacrifice. However, the offerings that the Nether God has provided are clearly insufficient for the full awakening of the armor. As a result, the Netherworld Divine Armor has begun devouring his flesh… even his Soul. If this drags on any longer, the only fate awaiting the Nether God is death.”

“As for the Elemental Clan’s Book of Elements, also known as the ‘Grimoire,’ it draws its power from the Elemental Pool of their race. Given the current reserves of the Elemental Pool, sustaining its revival for much longer should be difficult. Furthermore, the Grimoire places an immense burden on the wielder’s Soul. That little one may seem calm, but in reality, his mental state is nearing its limit. Forcing themselves to wield a power beyond their capacity… he won’t be able to endure it for long. Most likely, after this battle, that one will need an extensive period of recovery.”

Yu Zi Yu was astonished by this.

He had not expected the activation of an Imperial Artifact to come with so many restrictions.

However, after giving it another thought, recalling that when he wielded the Sixteen Holy Wings, it too came with significant limitations, it made sense to him.

For instance, if he moved too fast and lost control, he could tear his own body apart.

Not to mention the fact that the Sixteen Holy Wings continuously consume the Divine Essence of the Angel Race’s Well of Light.

Of course, according to the Sixteen Holy Wings, Yu Zi Yu’s current Spiritual Energy was sufficient to sustain a brief activation of the Artifact, minimizing the cost to the Well of Light.

With that in mind, Yu Zi Yu glanced at his opponents, their power still surging, and a smile played on his lips.

“So this is what you mean by ‘hold on’…”

They had originally assumed that partially awakening their Imperial Artifacts would be enough to suppress Yu Zi Yu.

However, much to their dismay, things did not play out as they had expected.

Caught between advancing and retreating, they were forced to repeatedly awaken even more power from their Artifacts.

And as a result, the backlash they would suffer would only grow more terrifying.

Just then, as if struck by a thought, Yu Zi Yu shifted his gaze toward the Shadow Lord.

“What about his Imperial Artifact? Any limitations?”

“That, I’m not too sure. The Shadow Blade has always been shrouded in mystery… but I imagine the cost would be significant as well,” replied the Sixteen Holy Wings, his voice tinged with amusement.

This time, all three Imperial Artifacts had been awakened.

The price they paid would not be small.

If they failed to gain any substantial benefits from this battle, their respective races would likely fall into a century-long, or even longer, decline.

After all, Imperial Artifacts could not be awakened repeatedly. It was not just about their race’s foundations, even the wielders’ bodies and Souls had limits.

Not every powerhouse was like Yu Zi Yu, capable of independently sustaining the awakening of an Imperial Artifact.

Not every powerhouse had a body resilient enough to withstand the power of an awakened Imperial Artifact.

…

Imperial Artifacts, they were known as the pillars of a race, and such treasures could never be used lightly.

No matter how glorious they appeared now, after this battle, their fate would be far from pleasant.

Of course, at this moment, the attention of countless strong beings remained focused on the battlefield, few considering the deeper implications.

The Sun and Moon trembled, the galaxy quaked.

Again and again, beings rivaling Hegemons clashed within the dark and dreary cosmos.

And at this moment, if anyone had their eyes on Yu Zi Yu’s True Form, they would see three Divine Trees manifesting around him.

Aside from the Divine Lightning Tree, Kabbalah Tree of Life, the Timeless Divine Tree and the Divine Tree of Myriad Forms were also merging into his True Body.

With their integration, Yu Zi Yu’s metamorphosis was accelerating.

Visible to the naked eye, his True Form pulsated with an ever-changing radiance.

And behind him, an immense and awe-inspiring phantom of a world slowly emerged.

This was the world Yu Zi Yu was nurturing within himself, his ‘Tenth Realm.’

The Tenth Realm, embodied within himself, when it finally evolved into a Grand World, he would step into the legendary Seventh Order.

For now, however, within the emerging manifestation of his Tenth Realm, countless powerhouses bore witness to scenes unfolding at an accelerated race.

Time within the Tenth Realm was advancing at ten times, a hundred times, even a thousand times its normal speed.

Pure and transparent energy rose, forming an ever-expanding sky.

The turbid energy continued to sink, shaping an ever-thickening earth.

And then, in an instant…

*Crackle…* A bolt of lightning tore through the darkened sky.

Immediately afterward, everyone spotted a colossal tree formed of pure lightning within the Tenth Realm, having taken root at some unknown point.

It now presided over lightning, becoming the realm’s first lightning strike.

However, this was merely the beginning.

*Crack, Crack…* The ground started shaking, before a seedling suddenly broke through the soil.

The growing sapling was none other than Yu Zi Yu’s Kabbalah Tree of Life.

Its emergence seemed to signal something, for the Tenth Realm’s growth accelerated once more.

In just a few breaths, it was as if the world had gone through a million years of evolution. Countless onlookers witnessed an explosion of vitality as trees sprouted one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the Tenth Realm had transformed into a lush, verdant expanse.

However, things still did not end there.

During this time, a massive, indistinct Tree suddenly shot up from the ground.

It was Yu Zi Yu’s Divine Tree of Myriad Forms.

The Divine Tree of Myriad Forms governed change, and could take on myriad forms.

*Aooooo, aoooo, aoooo…*

Amidst successive howls, one of its branches morphed into an Azure Wolf, leaping toward the Heavens.

And in the next moment…

*Rooooaar…* A Dragon Roar reverberated through the sky as one of its roots transformed into a Flood Dragon, diving into the vast sea.

…

Celestial phenomena erupted in succession as the Tenth Realm underwent an astonishing metamorphosis in just a few breaths’ time.

From nothing to something.

From barren wasteland to boundless vitality.

From mere plants to thriving creatures/

Every step of this transformation embodied the Tenth Realm’s Earth-shattering evolution.

This was Yu Zi Yu’s breakthrough.

His body had transformed into the Tenth Realm, while the Timeless Divine Tree had taken control of its time, accelerating its evolution. The Kabbalah Tree of Life sowed the seeds of life within it, while Yu Zi Yu’s Divine Tree of Myriad Forms gave rise to countless races.

As for the Divine Lightning Tree, it became the Tenth Realm’s first voice, its first lightning strike.

With these elements in place, the rest was merely a natural course of events.

And as the Tenth Realm continued to evolve, Yu Zi Yu’s power surged at an exponential rate.

*Rumble… Rumble…* Amidst the deafening thunder, Yu Zi Yu could feel an indescribable force welling up from within him.

That was the ‘World Energy’ of the Tenth Realm.
