Might as well find a block of tofu and bash my head in!

Elder Luo felt the same way. The seven of them were not only running around in panic under the Tribulation Thunder, but they had also surrendered all their magical treasures.

Why did we bother getting involved in this mess?

This time, we really didn’t check the almanac before heading out.

The intensity of the Tribulation Thunder was something they naturally felt, and the space where they could set their feet was rapidly diminishing.

The eight had already been forced to huddle together. The Great Elder of the Piaomiao Sect’s face was full of despair; he no longer had that aura of fearless advancement, and now he deeply regretted everything.

"I’ll go out and draw the thunder!"

He spoke resolutely.

"Are you crazy, courting death?"

The Great Elder from Unparalleled Tower had turned noticeably pale, and upon hearing this, he was even more furious.

In such a situation, going out to draw the thunder would surely mean certain death!

"I know."

Of course, he knew how terrifying the Tribulation Thunder at this stage was, otherwise, the eight of them wouldn’t be in such a sorry state.

But if things continued like this, all eight of them would die together.

"I still have one last guess!"

Guess again?

"Have you gotten addicted to guessing lately? Gamblers meet no good end!"

The crowd angrily reproached him.

The Great Elder of the Piaomiao Sect forced a bitter smile, but still declared, "I guess this Tribulation Thunder, which came because of me, will vanish with my death!"

This time, everyone turned back with changed expressions.

He intended to use his life to counteract the Tribulation Thunder!

"I lost all my magical treasures, and you want to just die and be done with it?"

The Great Elder of Langya Mountain spoke angrily.

"You want to play the ’death absolves all debts’ card, right?"

The other elders shouted curses.

"Forget about sending yourself to death. Let’s face it together."

Elder Luo looked serious. Rather than watching him die, it was better for the eight to fight with all they had.

"I still have one last move that might withstand a wave of thunder."

The Great Elder of Unparalleled Tower nodded in agreement.

"I have a Dragon and Phoenix Strike move that I can play with you!"

The Great Elder of the Dragon and Phoenix Palace also consented.

Everyone naturally had their techniques for gambling with life, but the Great Elder of the Piaomiao Sect shook his head. If combined attacks could work, he would have had them use it earlier.

Now it was too late.

"There’s no need to create more problems. My fellow Daoists, after a hundred years of friendship, no banquet can last indefinitely. I intend to go on ahead."

After saying this, the Great Elder of the Piaomiao Sect flew up, rushing toward the thundercloud.

Crack! Crack!

The thundercloud was drawn to this lone figure mid-air, and in that moment, the Tribulation Thunder seemed to have found its target.

Tens of thousands of thunderbolts fell all at once!

The unfolding scroll disintegrated with just a touch.

The half-remaining mountain peak from the Mountain Driving Order exploded and was struck back into a Token.

The barrier formed by spiritual power shattered like a bubble, and under the mass of thunder, the figure of the Great Elder of the Piaomiao Sect seemed so insignificant.

He was probably going to die and had already started reliving his life.

From the time he was young, walking alone into the Piaomiao Sect.

By the time he left the Piaomiao Sect again, he had already grown into a distinguished youth.

After wandering the mortal world, he returned to the Piaomiao Sect in his thirties, having already become a renowned rising star in the Cultivator Realm.

What followed was a century of experiences; his figure appeared in various places.

This is the path of cultivation—a journey always walked alone.

In that moment, tears welled up in his eyes.

The path of cultivation was always about oneself; why need to worship any idol?

That Divine Platform... that Divine Platform was truly for himself!

Besides himself, who else could sit there? Who else could sit there!

He finally fully understood what lay beyond Transcendence.

"So, it’s about ascending the Divine Platform, becoming your own god."

Tears filled the eyes of the Great Elder of the Piaomiao Sect, finally receiving the most vital answer.

The Divine Platform Realm, after Transcendence, was the Divine Platform Realm.

At that moment, he seemed to have acquired the ultimate confidence to control himself.

Solitary shadow of Piaomiao, who has ever seen a lone figure come and go?

The hundred meters of void around him began to turn dreamlike and illusory, like a fleeting illusion.

The falling Tribulation Thunder began to show signs of dissolving, but in merely a blink, it solidified again.

It was as if it was a heavy slap on the face of the Great Elder of the Piaomiao Sect.

You only understand it, but you haven’t yet ascended!

A bolt of Tribulation Thunder struck his uncertain form, causing a resounding explosion.

With the thunder roaring, the Great Elder of the Piaomiao Sect spit out blood and fell straight down.

Yet he burst into laughter, for everything finally aligned.

Just the intent of the Divine Platform alone is enough to summon a tribulation thunder upon oneself.

The path has opened!

There is already a way in the Realm of Transcendence.

"Are you courting death?"

Suddenly, a cheerful laugh reached his ears. The Great Elder of Piaomiao Sect turned around in shock, only to find Han Yu’s smiling face.

How this sentence was said with the same tone as "Have you eaten?" is beyond comprehension.

However, after speaking, Han Yu suddenly disappeared, reappearing in the high sky.

"The blue tribulation thunder shouldn’t be too painful."

Seeing the rolling color of the thunder clouds, Han Yu’s mouth twitched slightly, seemingly recalling unpleasant memories.

"You’re meddling, and you’re afraid of pain."

The Artifact Spirit scoffed.

"I wonder how powerful the domain is?"

Han Yu merely had the concept of a domain in his Sea of Consciousness, but he had no idea how strong it really was.

"Are you thinking of confronting the tribulation thunder head-on?"

The Artifact Spirit looked astounded, thinking that at most Han Yu would help take a hit or two, then quietly leave after the tribulation thunder had acted.

This is courting disaster.

Interfering with the tribulation thunder is one thing, but provoking it?

Han Yu demonstrated his true intentions with his actions; within a mile, the void turned into a sea of fire.

With a mere thought, the Divine Fire was born.

Huge Cyan Dragons, seven or eight in number, condensed from the sea of fire and rushed toward the Thunder Pool to annihilate it.

At the same time, Han Yu silently sensed the consumption.

Within the domain, the energy consumption of Divine Techniques was extremely low. The world inherently contains the Five Elements; since he was part of the world, the fire of the Five Elements could naturally aid him.

It’s no wonder that reaching this point requires the Five Elements Spirit; without the world’s approval, mere mortals cannot reach this step.

The domain is the world, a small world of one’s own.

If the black-robed figure had reached this point, no matter how huge his Sea of Consciousness was, its consumption would have been far less than the opponent’s.

Divine Communication to the domain is worlds apart!

The tribulation thunder seemed to sense the provocation, and the Thunder Pool descended to battle the Cyan Dragons.

Above the Mo Family, thunder roared, and the overwhelming dark clouds churned like a raging sea.

In an instant, the sky darkened.

The blue tribulation thunder suddenly turned purple, a destructive aura permeating the entire area.

Is this the pressure under the Purple Sky Tribulation Thunder?

The crowd shivered; merely being in the thunder zone brought a sense of helplessness against life and death, let alone facing it directly.

"Explode for me!"

With a thunderous shout from Han Yu, the Cyan Dragons, entangled with the tribulation thunder, suddenly released it, merged back into the clouds, and exploded, engulfing the entire sky in a sea of fire, blasting open a gap in the thunderclouds.

Boom!

The tribulation thunder was enraged, and a ten-zhang wide Purple Sky Divine Thunder struck down, intending to obliterate the provocateur to ashes. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Han Yu, carrying his domain, advanced boldly, his entire being engulfed in the sea of fire. The white and purple hues clashed violently together.

The firmament was torn apart, chaotic energy overflowing and causing the heavens and earth to shake.

The sky is falling!

The people on the scene inexplicably felt this way.

The collision was terrifying! Even the aura that leaked out was something they could not withstand.

After a moment, neither side had the upper hand.

Han Yu looked over the sea of fire, relieved that his domain’s strength remained.

He glanced at the thunderclouds, which seemed to have their brewing power stalled.

What is going on?

"It seems to be caught in a dilemma again."

The Artifact Spirit mused thoughtfully.

This tribulation thunder was quite similar to Han Yu’s previous one, the only difference being the intensity.

At the time, it was completely involved... watching from the sidelines, and in its opinion, the tribulation thunder’s test intentions were much greater than its lethal intent, so there had to be a time limit to leave a path for survival.

Now, it seemed that the time had come.

But Han Yu’s interference seemed to have triggered the inviolable rules of the tribulation thunder.

Now, it appeared that two rules were colliding.

"What will happen?"

Han Yu asked curiously.

"Either the tribulation thunder continues to escalate to obliterate you?"

The Artifact Spirit could only guess.

"Or it packs up and leaves?"

After the Artifact Spirit spoke, the thunderclouds continued to churn, seemingly unwilling to let it go.

But just as Han Yu was preparing to engage once more, the rolling thunderclouds suddenly dissipated.

Looks like the Artifact Spirit guessed correctly, the test rules outweighed the other rules.

"What if it hadn’t left just now?"

Han Yu looked up at the sky, wondering if there was something even stronger than the Purple Sky Tribulation Thunder?

The Artifact Spirit replied testily, "What’s the rush? At the rate you’re courting death, I’m sure it won’t be long before you see the fourth kind of tribulation thunder."
