My talent is 1.

Zhong Wuyai took out all the Thunder Control Tokens and upgraded them, and eventually four of them produced Thunder Devouring.

After Lu Zifan leveled up a few times, Zhong Wuyai started adding 1 point.

However, I stopped after adding it a few times.

The words "Supreme Immortal Artifact" on the Thunder Control Token have turned into color; if it is further upgraded, it may become an Immortal Weapon.

These dozen or so Thunder Shields directly consumed hundreds of trillions of experience points.

This isn't the Nether anymore; the experience is beyond our comprehension. If the units we kill don't have enough energy, we'll draw energy from the surrounding area.

Furthermore, the Thunder Control Talismans have developed a kind of intelligence, albeit a very low level, but Zhong Wuyai can sense their affection.

Unlike the Yin-Yang Fate Wheel, which fawned over its owner, the Thunder Control Token treated Zhong Wuyai like a parent, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

After all, the purpose of crafting the Thunder-Controlling Token is to withstand heavenly tribulations. Therefore, there are no plans to continue improving it.

With the Thunder-Controlling Token in hand and preparations complete, the next step is to break through.

I just don't know how strong my Heavenly Tribulation is.

"That's enough, senior. Is there a good place for me to prepare for my tribulation?"

"Tribulation?...You..."

Chang Heng was momentarily lost in thought. He then realized that this young man had only ascended to immortality not long ago. He had been so captivated by the young man's Daoist aura and talent that he had completely forgotten that he was already at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm...

In the blink of an eye, they're about to undergo the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation...

"This place isn't suitable, let's go somewhere else."

After all, it's within the range of the Undying Volcano. The edges are fine, and the Flame Phoenix Clan doesn't care about undergoing a tribulation.

However, there are many demons on the outskirts who are subordinate to the Yanfeng clan, and it would be bad if they were affected.

On a mountain peak, Zhong Wuyai adjusted his state and began to use the Yi Dian (易典) to break through his current limitations.

In just one week, thunderclouds began to gather... Rumble~~

"This...how is this possible?"

Guan Xiangzi and Chang Heng stared wide-eyed at the calamity clouds in the sky, their faces filled with apprehension, solemnity... and even a hint of fear...

"Hurry up!"

Guan Xiangzi, carrying Bai Yu, and Chang Heng, carrying Lu Zifan, appeared instantly a hundred miles away.

"Your Excellency, what... what's going on? Zhong Wuyai's Heavenly Immortal Tribulation feels a hundred or even a thousand times more terrifying than my sixth tribulation!"

"I don't understand either. How could a mere Earth Immortal possibly trigger the Heavenly Tribulation?"

Chang Heng looked at Guan Xiangzi with a solemn expression: "Tell me, what exactly are you hiding? How could a mere Earth Immortal trigger the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation? This is the Great Luo Tribulation."

"I don't know either. I'm more curious about this situation than you are."

Feeling the terrifying pressure of the heavenly tribulation, Lu Zifan couldn't help but ask, "Seniors, what is this Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation? What should the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation look like?"

Guan Xiangzi looked at Lu Zifan and thought of many things.

Could the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord's disciple be the cause of this?

"The tribulations of immortals involve many aspects, but broadly speaking, they are a reckoning of cause and effect."

Lu Zifan's scalp tingled instantly upon hearing this...

"Cause and effect reckoning..."

The things they did in the cultivation world—what a huge karmic burden that was…

Countless regions have seen their spiritual veins depleted, not to mention the smaller ones; the Northern Region has collapsed, and countless lives have been lost in the Western Sea…

The cause and effect are beyond my own calculation...

Only two words came to mind: It's over...

This was only the Celestial Immortal Tribulation; the Taiyi Tribulation, the Daluo Tribulation... Lu Zifan dared not think any further.

Judging from Lu Zifan's expression, Guan Xiangzi was certain that it was related to this little devil.

A demon is still a demon, even if Ju Hong's disciple cultivates immortality...

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now. With the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation upon him, Zhong Wuyai is doomed.

Lu Zifan didn't dare to delay and immediately sent a message to Zhong Wuyai.

Beneath the thunderclouds, Zhong Wuyai felt the oppressive force of the heavenly tribulation, experiencing a strange sensation akin to facing the Red Lotus Karmic Fire Tribulation in the cultivation realm.

Moreover, when staring at the calamity clouds, one can also feel a sense of despair in the face of impending doom.

"It's just undergoing a celestial tribulation, it can't be that serious, can it?"

Upon seeing Lu Zifan's message, Zhong Wuyai's eyes turned red.

"Is there any chance of survival?"

After searching through everything, Zhong Wuyai finally focused his attention on the Immortal Essence Pearl. If he couldn't hold on any longer, he would have no choice but to try to extract the essence of the Immortal Realm.

Taking out a lightning protection token, Zhong Wuyai prepared 1, so that if the lightning tribulation exceeded his tolerance range, he would immediately add 1.

It's a pity the heavenly tribulation is about to descend; otherwise, if Lu Zifan had come, he might have been able to cause several more waves of trouble.

"Boom~..."

A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm struck, its intensity exceeding Zhong Wuyai's imagination.

Before the Thunder Guardian Token could even gain an extra 1, it instantly went dark and lost its luster.

Fortunately, he had absorbed over 10,000 lightning strikes, reducing the lightning damage he received by nearly 18,000. With the addition of the Dao of Lightning and the five-fold increase in lightning control, Zhong Wuyai barely survived the first lightning tribulation.

Chang Heng and Guan Xiangzi spoke at the same time: "I, a Taiyi Golden Immortal/Eight Tribulation Loose Immortal, am seeing a ghost? A mere Earth Immortal blocked a Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation?"

Zhong Wuyai was paralyzed all over. The tribulation lightning tore most of his body apart, leaving only a charred remains.

When the system was running and recovering, 1 was also prepared and added to the maximum storage the moment the second wave hit.

The moment the lightning struck, a portion of its energy was drawn away, and the Thunder God Tablet manifested a lightning shield, blocking a large amount of the lightning damage. It then absorbed most of the energy from the second lightning strike...

"Phew..." Luckily it was added, otherwise I would have been gone.

The energy of the second heavenly lightning raged through his body, but Yi Dian operated even faster, constantly repairing himself while his Dao essence also changed.

The primordial spirit gradually condensed into a flower of the Dao of Thunder.

Chang Heng and Guan Xiangzi stared wide-eyed: "A Dao Flower... How is this possible? A mere Earth Immortal has formed a Dao Flower? Is this a direct step into the Taiyi Realm?"

It is important to know that the Dao essence of a terrestrial immortal gradually solidifies as they progress to a celestial immortal. Only when they reach the level of a Xuan Tian Shang Xian (a high-ranking immortal) will their Dao essence sprout like a seed, and only after passing through the Taiyi Tribulation will the Dao flower condense.

But Zhong Wuyai was undergoing the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation, which was beyond the realm of ordinary reason.

The two of them are now unsure whether this is a blessing or a curse.

After all, Zhong Wuyai has now withstood two tribulation lightning bolts, and they were even the heavenly lightning of the Great Luo Tribulation.

"Boom boom boom~... The thunder in the sky grew more and more terrifying. This time, only ten breaths later, the third bolt of lightning struck."

In an instant, the Thunder God Token released a shield. After the shield was shattered, the Thunder God Token was directly destroyed and turned into dust under the raging thunder.

Zhong Wuyai's body was severely injured once again, and the phantom of his primordial spirit flower spread out to resist the heavenly lightning.

His body shattered again, this time leaving only his head.

But in the blink of an eye, the Yi Dian was activated, and its proficiency reached three million. Zhong Wuyai had already reached the Celestial Immortal realm, and his aura was constantly rising.

The Dao essence was even greater than before, and the Dao flower condensed once more...

Chang Heng and Guan Xiangzi swallowed hard, their hearts pounding in their throats.

Perhaps we will witness a miracle today.

The commotion caused by the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation naturally attracted many people.

Suddenly, a figure appeared next to Chang Heng.

"Palace Master~!"

"Your Excellency!"

Guan Xiangzi and Chang Heng bowed, and Bai Yu and Lu Zifan, though unaware of who the visitors were, followed suit upon seeing their demeanor…

"Who's undergoing tribulation?!"

"He's a junior I just met."

"Your Excellency, I have watched this child grow up, but I have never been able to see through him."

"Guan Xiangzi, you've survived your eighth tribulation?... Not bad, not bad at all!"

"Palace Master, Guan Xiangzi has already joined our Dayan Underground Palace and is one of our own. It's just that you were in seclusion and didn't inform us in time."

"Haha, it's alright. However, you two seniors are a bit behind. A junior is about to become a Grand Luo."

Guan Xiangzi and Chang Heng smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Palace Master, he is still an Earth Immortal, currently undergoing the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation."

Immortal Venerable Fushi's expression changed instantly as he looked at Zhong Wuyai, who was undergoing tribulation.

How is this possible? ...A terrestrial immortal undergoing tribulation would attract the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation?

Upon realizing that Zhong Wuyai's cultivation level was only Celestial Immortal, Immortal Venerable Fushi's expression suddenly turned solemn.

His primordial spirit activated the Daoist arts, observing Zhong Wuyai... He wanted to see the cause and effect of Zhong Wuyai, but withdrew the Daoist arts in just a moment.

"No, this is impossible... This kid's karma is terrifying!"

Not only was it pitch black, but it also exuded the wrath of Heaven and the aura of divine punishment.

"Guan Xiangzi, how many sins has this boy committed that Heaven is determined to annihilate him completely?"

Guan Xiangzi swallowed hard. The essence of the mythical world was being lost, and the divine realm was almost collapsing.

However, in retrospect, this doesn't seem to be much. He had also sacrificed himself to several of Chaos's main gods, and countless beings from the underworld had also been sacrificed.

Lu Zifan looked utterly desperate. He knew all too well how many sins he had committed, and he had done it all himself.

Looking at the astronomical numbers in the universal experience orb, it suddenly didn't seem so appealing anymore.

Lu Zifan trembled all over, and everyone noticed it immediately.

Guan Xiangzi spoke up: "You ascended to heaven with him, you should know that."

Guan Xiangzi's expression was unfriendly. If he really had anything to do with this little devil, he would never let him go.

"Um, I don't know how to say it."

There's no point in hiding it. Not only is he a mere immortal, but he'll also have to face the Nine Heavens Tribulation in the future, or even stronger tribulations.

Bai Yu, who was present, could easily crush him, let alone the quasi-predecessor, Immortal Venerable of the Floating World.

Lu Zifan used his magic to create a water curtain, within which he demonstrated the entire process of the collapse of the Northern Region.

The initial heavenly tribulation, followed by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire Tribulation, and then the darkening of the heavens...

The final collapse of the Northern Region, in particular, had a tremendous visual impact on those present.

Is this something a Nascent Soul cultivator could do? ...Back then, Lu Zifan was only at the first level of Qi Refining.

Is this something a Level 1 Qi Refiner could do?

The Immortal Venerable of the Floating World felt a sharp pain in his primordial spirit, unable to understand...

However, Zhong Wuyai was able to understand the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation.

"The Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, yet one escapes. This heavenly thunder was too lenient, giving him a glimmer of hope."

Guan Xiangzi sighed, realizing that he had misunderstood him and Ju Hong.

Compared to those two bastards, even the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord seems like a saint...

The Immortal Venerable of the Floating World looked at Zhong Wuyai with a complicated expression, while Chang Heng remained stunned for a long time.

Are these two "people"?

Fortunately, he refused when he was accepting apprentices. With my limited skills, it would be too much of an overestimation for me to become his master.

At this moment, Zhong Wuyai was already facing the fourth bolt of heavenly lightning.

However, the Thunder God Token that could devour lightning shattered again.

Moreover, the heavenly lightning grew stronger and stronger. Even with the Thunder Control Divine Tablet to resist it, his physical body was shattering time and time again. Although the Dao Flower had already taken shape, it could not escape the fate of being shattered.

Of the remaining Thunder God Tokens, only two possess the ability to devour lightning, so they must be used only at the end. Use the others to block it for now.

Considering the increased power of the heavenly lightning, Zhong Wuyai took out two Thunder God Tokens, stacking one on top of the other.

1 was ready. The moment the lightning struck, it was added immediately, and then 1 was added to the second piece.

Some of the lightning's energy was drawn away, and another portion was drawn away when it landed on the first piece.

Even with this significant reduction, both Thunder God Tokens still shattered simultaneously.

However, Zhong Wuyai himself was not seriously injured. He recovered immediately by circulating the Yi Dian, and the Dao Flower regained its outline.

The tribulation clouds became even more bizarre, turning red. Zhong Wuyai's expression turned grave, and he dared not be careless.

He took out three Thunder God Tokens and hung them above his head, and placed two Thunder God Tokens with the ability to absorb lightning below to facilitate the absorption of heavenly lightning.

Now that he's an immortal, the moment the heavenly lightning struck, it added 1 to the three Thunder God Tokens.

Taking advantage of the instant the red lightning struck, I immediately increased the lightning absorption storage value of the two Thunder God Tokens below by 1...

The sixth heavenly lightning bolt had too much energy drained away, so even though it was more powerful than the previous ones, it only shattered two Thunder God Tablets.

Zhong Wuyai took out four more Thunder God Tokens, and hung the five Thunder God Tokens above his head.

The seventh heavenly lightning bolt took a long time to prepare, and the Yi Dian (易典) circulated for a full cycle before it finally struck.

"Damn... I was careless..."

The seventh bolt of heavenly lightning turned a dark red, almost black.

The energy absorbed by the lightning instantly released a protective shield, but it dissipated the moment the lightning struck.

Adding one more to each of the five Thunder God talismans above could not prevent them from breaking.

Fortunately, the remaining energy of the heavenly lightning was not much, and the remaining two pieces were mostly absorbed, allowing it to withstand the rest of the damage.

Zhong Wuyai's body completely collapsed, leaving only his primordial spirit.

As the eighth bolt of heavenly lightning brewed, the entire sky had turned black, and streaks of black light could be faintly seen darting wildly through the tribulation clouds...

"How is this possible? How could the Nine Heavens Tribulation include Destructive Divine Lightning?!"

Even the worldly immortal, with his vast knowledge and experience, was caught off guard at this moment.

The Destruction Lightning only appeared when I achieved the true form of my Dao...

Countless gazes from the immortal realm were fixed on Zhong Wuyai.

"The Thunder of Destruction... is another quasi-emperor about to emerge?"

Several illusory figures appeared in different directions, looking at Zhong Wuyai.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Neither Lu Zifan nor Bai Yu reacted.

It was only after the Immortal Venerable of the Floating World spoke that the others followed suit and bowed...

Emperor Dongheng ignored the group. Although it was just a phantom, the title of emperor was not just empty words.

Even if they deliberately suppressed their aura, just one glance at the Emperor's phantom was enough to make Guan Xiangzi and Chang Heng breathless.

Lu Zifan and Bai Yu, needless to say, didn't dare to raise their heads, or rather, they simply couldn't.

It's as if if you look up at that phantom, you'll disappear.

But then, as if by unspoken agreement, the three illusory figures moved simultaneously, appearing at the edge of the tribulation clouds...

Celestial beings? The three enormous phantoms stared at each other, as if asking each other a question.

But the feedback received was almost identical: no one knew what was going on.

How could a celestial being attract destructive divine lightning? What's going on in the celestial realm?

Zhong Wuyai, amidst the clouds of calamity, truly felt the despair of facing the darkness of the sky.

Let's give it our all!

Zhong Wuyai put away all the Thunder God Tokens, exactly ten.

After preparing step 1, quietly wait for the thunder to fall.

This time it really tests your hand speed...

As soon as the black lightning struck, Zhong Wuyai pressed his hand down.

1 was placed on quantity.

In an instant, two-thirds of the black lightning disappeared, as if it had been severed.

The severed first half just disappeared like that...

Zhong Wuyai hurriedly summoned more than ten Thunder God Tablets, added 1 to them, and then poured in immortal energy to throw them into the sky...

Each piece can slightly reduce the speed of the falling lightning and weaken some of its power.

Although it was brief, it was enough.

The black lightning bolts grew thinner and thinner until only a hair-thick bolt landed on the Thunder God Token in Zhong Wuyai's hand.

The Thunder God talisman shattered, his hand disappeared, and then his body began to dissipate.

The primordial spirit flower bloomed instantly, vanishing into nothingness along with the black heavenly lightning.

The three illusory emperors were instantly unsettled.

Having served as an Immortal Emperor for countless years, he has witnessed all sorts of strange occurrences in the Immortal Realm.

This time, however, none of the three could understand it.

Is it reasonable for a celestial being to withstand the destructive divine lightning?

Let alone celestial immortals, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal who has achieved the Dao Fruit might not be able to withstand it.

However, the three phantoms vanished in an instant.

The calamity clouds changed, and the entire area within a thousand miles of Zhong Wuyai's location was plunged into darkness.

Chang Heng and Guan Xiangzi were unaware of what had happened; even the Immortal Venerable of the Floating World couldn't sit still any longer and left with several people...

"Palace Master, what's going on?"

"I don't know. This is only the eighth of the Nine Heavens Tribulation, and it's already a destructive divine lightning. I've never seen the ninth tribulation lightning before."

Lu Zifan looked utterly hopeless, becoming somewhat numb...

If Zhong Wuyai can't withstand it, he has no hope. Even with a million trillion experience points, he would still die under this lightning tribulation.

If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have been better off undergoing the tribulation with Zhong Wuyai, messing around with the immortal artifacts, and at worst dragging the entire immortal realm into this mess...

But it's too late to say anything now. Let's hope Zhong Wuyai can create a miracle...

Zhong Wuyai looked at the pitch-black sky and smiled.

"You're really not giving me any chance at all!"

Without waiting for the heavenly lightning to condense into a form, Zhong Wuyai directly added 1 to the Thunder God Token, which had not been upgraded by 1.

This is where the tribulation clouds started having problems.

The three illusory emperors looked at the tribulation cloud with confusion, feeling that the tribulation cloud seemed to be sick. It had clearly taken shape, so why did it suddenly give people a wilted feeling...

Inside the Immortal Essence Pearl, Zhong Wuyai added 1 point to the spiritual intelligence of the Yin-Yang Fate Wheel and then stopped.

The tribulation clouds seemed to have cracked open, though only for a moment before closing quickly, but it did make the tribulation clouds much lighter.

In that instant, Zhong Wuyai felt extremely uncomfortable, sensing three gazes from three directions, as if they wanted to see right through him...

Powerful figures have their eyes on me, and not just one. It's like when it rains, it pours...

After reactivating the Yi Dian (易典) to restore his health, Zhong Wuyai felt that his condition had changed; it seemed that his body and primordial spirit had been greatly enhanced.

But I had no idea what to expect from this final lightning strike.

The shock in the hearts of the three emperors was beyond description.

This mere Celestial Immortal not only withstood the Destruction God's Lightning but also managed to tear open a gap in the Heavenly Wrath. This young man carries countless karmic burdens, yet even the Celestial Emperor finds his methods somewhat unfathomable...

"Dong Heng, this person cannot be allowed to live!"

Killing someone whom Heaven decrees to destroy can increase one's understanding of Heaven's will, but similarly, no one knows what secrets lie behind those who can be destroyed by Heaven...

"Even celestial beings can come into contact with the Great Dao. Are you sure you want to get involved in this karma?"

"You Yu, can you see clearly?"

"I can't see clearly, so I don't plan to touch it."

During their private conversation, a lightning bolt, as thick as an arm, silently and colorlessly struck.

Zhong Wuyai directly increased the number of Yin-Yang Fate Wheels by 1, and then immediately increased the number of Immortal Essence Pearls by 1 as well...

Seeing that most of the Heavenly Wrath had dissipated... Yu felt a wave of fear.

Who would believe that such unheard-of skills could come from the hands of a celestial being...?

Although the wrath of heaven had dissipated by more than half, Zhong Wuyai could neither see nor feel it.

He just kept adding 1 to the Thunder God Token and throwing it out.

The primordial spirit even formed several arms, intending to simultaneously add 1 to the Thunder God Token.

Unfortunately, before the 1 is placed on the Thunder God Token, the other arms cannot get the 1 to add to the other Thunder God Tokens.

Even so, the Thunder God Token was launched at its maximum speed...

There are quite a few Thunder God Tokens among the 11 Immortal Essence Pearls.

Furthermore, the Thunder-Controlling Divine Token of the Thunder Devourer has already been upgraded by 1, so it can be infused with immortal essence and thrown out simultaneously.

This greatly hindered the fall of Tian Nu, buying Zhong Wuyai a mere breath of time.

This moment was extremely important. The Thunder God Token flew rapidly into the sky and crashed into Tian Nu.

The shape of the Heavenly Wrath has shrunk considerably, but the oppressive aura that instills despair has not diminished at all.

The three emperors simply watched quietly, Zhong Wuyai's arrogance once again exceeding their comprehension.

One of the immortals was richer than they could have imagined.

Countless top-grade immortal artifacts were thrown at Tian Nu one after another as if they were free.

So many top-grade immortal artifacts—even an Immortal Emperor would need a hundred years or more to forge them. Where did he get so many, and they all seem to be the same…

Zhong Wuyai was now truly anxious. The Thunder God Tokens were about to run out, but the despair brought by the wrath of heaven remained...

"grass**……~!"

After throwing out all the Thunder God Tokens at once, Zhong Wuyai looked at the control panel and his inventory...

The Immortal Essence Pearl was completely useless; it didn't improve anything else much either, so it wasn't very useful.

There are still some pills left.

With a heavy heart, Zhong Wuyai increased the pill's highest attribute by 1.

The hundreds of thousands of attribute points slowed Tiannu down for a moment, and Zhong Wuyai added them all without hesitation...

After adding it, I didn't care about anything else and swallowed it all in one gulp...

The wrath of heaven finally descended, silent and still, and Zhong Wuyai was completely enveloped in darkness.

The energy of the ammunition inside his body surged wildly, while the Heavenly Wrath outside was rapidly destroying Zhong Wuyai's physical body.

When the two energies collide, Heavenly Wrath is naturally stronger, but the energy contained in the pill is high, so Zhong Wuyai's physical body did not disappear for a while and became the battlefield of the two energies.

Zhong Wuyai could do nothing, so he simply gave up. He dispersed his primordial spirit flowers to protect his true spirit. Whether he could survive depended on the effectiveness of the elixir's energy...

A light appeared in the sky, and the storm clouds began to dissipate.

But the place where Zhong Wuyai was was still pitch black.

If it weren't for the Great Emperor's presence, countless immortals would probably have come to investigate...

"The aura has vanished!"

"The wrath of Heaven has not yet subsided!"

"I won't play along." After saying this, Youyu's illusory figure disappeared.

"Let's go. Whatever the outcome, it's better to stay away."

"But I always feel that my path will disappear because of this..."

"You're overthinking it."

After the Emperor's phantom disappeared, the Immortal Venerable of the Floating World was the first to arrive; he desperately wanted to know the answer.

Lu Zifan was also flying here urgently...
