In the Great Havenlaw Domain, Zhou Yi stood atop a towering mountain peak, its summit reaching tens of thousands of feet into the sky. He gazed ahead, where a floating island hovered amidst the heavens.
Rather than calling it an island, it resembled a small continent. Its imposing presence could leave ordinary people utterly speechless.
A dazzling light barrier enveloped the floating continent, with countless palaces scattered across its surface. Streams of light streaked through the sky like shooting stars, forming a vast, awe-inspiring spectacle.
Even from a great distance, one could sense the presence of countless formidable Spiritual Energy fluctuations undulating silently within.
Yet, to Zhou Yi, Qing Yanjing, and Liu Baihua, this sight was nothing extraordinary.
Qing Yan Jing, as the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Buddha Clan, had witnessed far grander domains than this. Compared to the Ancient Buddha Clan's territory, the Great Havenlaw Domain was nothing more than a small county compared to a grand imperial city.
Liu Baihua, a Heavenly Supreme, stood leagues above the domain's ruler, Mandala, whose cultivation barely reached the Lesser Earthly Supreme Realm.
However, Mandala's status was far from ordinary.
Her true form was a Primordial Mandala Flower, adopted by the Heavenly Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Palace and regarded as his daughter. After the Heavenly Palace's downfall, she escaped with a clone following Lu Huan's ambush and later established the Great Havenlaw Domain.
"This is the headquarters of the Great Havenlaw Domain—Great Havenlaw Sky."
Jiu You stood beside Zhou Yi, one hand shielding her eyes, the other resting on her slender waist. Her tall, graceful figure accentuated the curves beneath her fair neck, along with her slim waist and long, alluring legs—an irresistibly seductive silhouette.
Even Zhou Yi, who had only glanced casually, found his gaze lingering for a moment longer than intended.
"Let's go."
Zhou Yi withdrew his gaze and spoke indifferently.
The Gun Gun War Chariot rumbled forward, heading toward the suspended Great Havenlaw Sky.
High above the domain, a colossal Spiritual Array formed a shimmering light barrier, shielding the entire region. The array emitted terrifying waves of Spiritual Energy, distorting the surrounding space.
"That's the Great Havenlaw Domain's protective array—rumored to be impenetrable even by Earthly Supreme experts," Jiu You explained, her jade-like finger pointing at the formation.
Zhou Yi merely nodded. With his current strength, he could shatter it with a single slap.
Outside the domain, a massive Light Gate—a thousand feet high—stood as the sole passage into Great Havenlaw Sky. Beyond it stretched a radiant pathway leading directly into the domain.
As the war chariot approached, black-armored guards numbering in the hundreds emerged, their sharp gazes fixed on the newcomers. Spearheads glinted coldly as they blocked the path.
"Halt! Outsiders are forbidden from trespassing into Great Havenlaw Sky. Offenders will be killed without mercy!"
Jiu You remained calm, flicking her jade-like hand to toss out a token. The token bore the emblem of a soaring Black Nether Bird, faintly emitting a clear cry.
"The Nine Nether Token?"
The black-armored captain's expression changed drastically. He quickly knelt on one knee, and the hundreds of guards behind him followed suit, the clanging of armor ringing crisply.
"Greetings to the Nine Nether King!"
With a flick of her hand, the token flew back into her palm. Without another word, the chariot rumbled through the Light Gate, disappearing into the radiant pathway.
Soon, they arrived at Nine Nether Palace, perched atop a towering mountain that resembled a colossal bird with its wings spread wide, casting a shadow over the land.
At the mountain's peak stood a cluster of grand palaces. Jiu You's delicate face softened as a smile surfaced. With a graceful motion, she soared toward the palace.
Before the palace lay a vast training ground where thousands of cultivators sat in silent cultivation.
At the forefront were two young women—one in black martial attire, the other in light red robes. Both were stunningly beautiful, with identical features marking them as twin sisters.
However, the girl in black carried an icy demeanor, while the girl in red exuded a gentle charm—opposite temperaments that made them all the more captivating.
The black-clad girl was Tang Bing, and the red-clad girl was Tang Rou—Jiu You's trusted aides and close sisters.
"Little Bing'er, Little Rou'er."
Jiu You's voice echoed, causing the two girls to jolt upright, surprise flashing in their eyes.
"Jiu You Sister, you've finally returned!"
Tang Rou's eyes reddened as she ran toward Jiu You, who pulled her into an embrace, gently stroking her hair.
"Yes, Sister is back…"
"Welcome back, My Lady!"
The crowd knelt in unison, their eyes filled with excitement.
Without their leader, they had suffered—resources withheld, bullied by others.
Where there were people, there would be struggles. The greater the power, the fiercer the conflicts.
Especially since Jiu You had gained her title not through strength, but through connections—earning her the scorn of many.
"Jiu You Sister, did you succeed in your tribulation?"
Tang Bing's sharp senses detected the invisible pressure radiating from Jiu You, her eyes bright with hope.
"Yes, not only did I succeed… I surpassed your wildest imagination."
A faint wisp of Heavenly Supreme aura leaked from Jiu You, pressing down on everyone like a mountain. Their minds went blank, hearts pounding in fear.
"Could it be… you've advanced to the Earthly Supreme Realm?"
Tang Bing and Tang Rou's eyes widened in disbelief.
Earthly Supreme was already the pinnacle of their imagination—after all, even the Great Havenlaw Domain's ruler, Mandala, was only a Lesser Earthly Supreme.
"No," Nine Nether shook her head.
Disappointment flickered across their faces—until Jiu You's lips curved into a proud smile.
"Because I've become a Heavenly Supreme."
Heavenly Supreme?
Impossible!
Their minds reeled. How could Jiu You, who had relied on connections to obtain her title, suddenly leap to such an unimaginable height?
"Allow me to introduce someone—this is Zhou Yi, a Heavenly Supreme expert… and my man."
Jiu You's delicate finger pointed toward Zhou Yi as he emerged from the chariot.
"I owe my breakthrough entirely to him."
Turning to the twins, she smiled.
"These are Tang Bing and Tang Rou—my sisters."
"You have excellent sisters," Zhou Yi remarked inwardly.
"Greetings," Zhou Yi smiled, flicking his wrist to produce two Spatial Rings.
"A small token to commemorate our meeting."
The rings contained ten thousand drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid and high-grade cultivation pills—enough for Tang Bing to break into the Supreme Realm.
The twins were stunned. Such wealth was beyond their wildest dreams.
"This… we can't accept…"
"Take it," Jiu You said with a smile.
"Thank you…"
As they accepted the gifts, their divine senses swept through the rings, leaving them utterly speechless.
Ten thousand drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid?
And various pills?
"This... this is too valuable... we can't accept it..."
They hadn't expected Zhou Yi to casually give away such a massive amount of Supreme Spiritual Liquid and numerous pills—though they couldn't recognize the pills, they were undoubtedly precious.
"Take it. It's nothing to him—just a small gift."
Jiu You swept her divine sense across the rings and smiled at the sisters.
"Thank you, Milord!"
Tang Bing and Tang Rou offered a respectful bow. Though they had some doubts about Jiu You's claim of becoming a Heavenly Supreme, Zhou Yi's generosity made it clear he was no ordinary figure.
He might truly be a Heavenly Supreme.
Awe deepened in their eyes.
"Jiu You, you've just returned—catch up with your sisters. I'll go have a chat with your Domain Lord."
Zhou Yi spoke calmly.
"Can you find the Domain Lord?"
"What do you think?"
Zhou Yi smiled and disappeared on the spot.
"Jiu You, will the Lord be alright seeking out the Domain Lord?"
Tang Bing asked with concern. What if conflict broke out?
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Jiu You reassured them with a smile, then led Qing Yanjing and the others away to settle in.
Meanwhile...
Zhou Yi arrived at the Great Havenlaw Golden Pool.
The Great Havenlaw Golden Pool could refine the divine power of Sovereign Celestial Bodies—a priceless treasure and one of the Great Havenlaw Domain's core relics.
At the summit of Golden Pool Peak, golden light surged, dyeing the very air in shimmering hues. Vast golden torrents cascaded endlessly, exuding an awe-inspiring pressure.
Zhou Yi descended, his feet touching the ground—unyielding as if stepping on diamond.
At the heart of the golden radiance, the light burned so intensely it stung the eyes.
Zhou Yi walked forward, the golden torrents parting before him.
A vast golden lake appeared—thick with molten liquid, bubbling with golden foam that burst, releasing torrents of radiance.
This was the Great Havenlaw Golden Pool.
For newly ascended Supremes, it was a priceless sacred ground—but to Zhou Yi, it was meaningless.
He dove straight in.
The deeper he went, the greater the pressure—though only for ordinary Supremes.
Zhou Yi's Heavenly Supreme physique rendered the pressure no different from an ordinary pond.
At the bottom, with a wave of his hand, golden silt scattered—revealing a small golden stone platform.
Upon the platform lay a delicate figure, unclothed.
She appeared eleven or twelve years old, with knee-length black hair. Her doll-like face was flawless, her petite form exuding an innocent charm.
She was Mandala, the Domain Lord of the Great Havenlaw Domain.
Though she looked like a little girl, she was an ancient relic—far older than Zhou Yi, much like Zi Yan.
As Zhou Yi observed her, her long lashes quivered, golden eyes opening slowly—filled with surprise and cold vigilance.
"Who are you?"
A garment materialized over Mandala, covering her body. Her golden eyes scrutinized Zhou Yi, wary and guarded.
Though she couldn't gauge his exact strength, the pressure he radiated made her feel profound danger.
His cultivation was undoubtedly far beyond hers.
"I'm close to your subordinate, the Nine Nether King, Jiu You. I've come to settle on Skylaw Continent—thought I'd drop by."
Zhou Yi smiled, radiating no hostility.
"Settle? Are you trying to claim Skylaw Continent?"
Mandala's wariness deepened. She suspected Zhou Yi was here to seize her domain—using it as a base to challenge the other great powers.
"Let's put it this way—Skylaw Continent is mine now. The other forces can either leave or submit."
"Arrogant! Do you know how many superpowers are fighting over Skylaw Continent? What makes you think you can claim it?"
Mandala sneered. After the Heavenly Emperor's fall, countless forces had coveted the Skylaw Continent—yet none had succeeded.
"What makes me think so?"
Zhou Yi smiled faintly.
"My power to suppress everything."
"Presumptuous!"
Mandala thought him a delusional fool.
"Without strength, that's arrogance. With strength... that's confidence."
Zhou Yi seized Mandala's delicate neck, lifting her effortlessly like a chick.
"How about now?"
"Heavenly Supreme!"
Mandala's pupils shrank. She had suspected as much, but leaned toward believing he was only a Perfected Earthly Supreme.
She hadn't expected him to truly be a Heavenly Supreme.
"Even if you're a Heavenly Supreme, interfering in Skylaw Continent violates the rules set by the superpowers. You'll incur their wrath!"
Mandala sneered.
"You think so?"
Zhou Yi remained calm.
"If your master, the Heavenly Emperor, were still alive—could he withstand the wrath of the superpowers?"
"You... how do you know?"
Mandala's shock far surpassed the humiliation of being subdued.
Her identity was a secret known to almost no one—yet this stranger knew it.
"Who exactly are you?"
"Relax. I mean you no harm. I know far more than you do."
Zhou Yi's palm glowed with divine power, dispelling the curse that had tormented Mandala for centuries.
"You're not a Saint-Grade Heavenly Supreme... even if you're late-stage Immortal-Grade, do you really think you can overturn the board?"
Despite her gratitude, Mandala still doubted Zhou Yi.
"Much less compare yourself to my master."
"The Heavenly Emperor's cultivation did surpass mine—but if he were alive, he'd still lose to me."
Mandala's anger flared, but before she could retort, Zhou Yi pressed a wisp of Universe Ring's aura onto her body.
Mandala trembled—her golden eyes filled with dread.
The artifact's power surpassed even the Heavenly Emperor's.
"With my own strength, I can battle Saint-Grade Heavenly Supremes—and win. With this treasure, I can slaughter them like cattle. Who could stop me from claiming Skylaw Continent?"
Zhou Yi's voice brimmed with pride.
Mandala fell silent.
Though she couldn't fathom Zhou Yi's full strength, the Universe Ring alone made him unstoppable among Immortal-Grade Heavenly Supremes—perhaps even Saint-Grade ones.
Zhou Yi ruffled Mandala's hair, smiling.
"Follow me, and I'll help you reclaim your true body in the Ancient Heavenly Palace."
"...Do I have a choice?"
Mandala glared at him, her delicate face resigned—yet grateful. Without his help, she would've endured her curse indefinitely.
"Congratulations on making the right decision. You won't regret it."
Zhou Yi chuckled, recalling Zi Yan.
Mandala was just like her—an ancient little loli.
"How many powerhouses do you have? Surely you're not planning to conquer my Great Havenlaw Domain alone?"
Mandala asked, curiosity shining in her golden eyes.
"I killed Qin Beixuan of Beixuan Palace, took over his domain, and recruited one Immortal-Grade and two Spirit-Grade Heavenly Supremes.
With Jiu You among them, my high-end forces—plus myself—are more than enough."
Zhou Yi spoke casually.
"The rest of the manpower can be recruited or annexed."
Mandala's breath caught—stunned by the sheer number of Heavenly Supremes under Zhou Yi's command.
Even the Ancient Heavenly Palace, at its peak, had never commanded such forces.
No wonder he dared claim Skylaw Continent.
With Zhou Yi's arrival, the Great Havenlaw Domain was about to change forever.
Mandala convened the Three Emperors and Nine Kings, igniting an uproar throughout the domain.
