Li Zhirui chooses to delay purifying the remaining evil filth, recognizing it would yield little merit after the great tribulation, and opts to increase his mana through pills to minimize karmic debt. Decades later, the Demonic Tao launches an assault on the Ghost Clan to reclaim seized territory in the Western Continent, but the Ghost Clan's sturdy defenses repel the attacks, forcing the demons to pay a heavy price and prompting a reevaluation of the clan's growing strength. Meanwhile, Jiang Fengwu finally breaks through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm after prolonged preparation, facing a fierce Thunder Tribulation over Mount Wanxian; she effortlessly withstands the first two bolts using layered Void Arrays.

This Tribulation Thunder held considerable power, yet it failed to damage the Formation in the slightest or create any notable disturbance; consequently, Jiang Fengwu passed through the second Tribulation Thunder without issue.

However, maybe since the initial pair of Tribulation Thunders hadn't injured her at all, the third one hovered overhead, reluctant to descend, constantly drawing in Spiritual Energy from the tribulation clouds to bolster its strength.

Still, this delay allowed her a chance to recover. Even though the Thunder Tribulation was only starting, she quickly pulled out a Pill, ingested and processed it, aiming to maintain her peak state no matter what!

A short while later, a Tribulation Thunder several meters wide thundered downward, roaring with explosive sounds, hurtling toward Jiang Fengwu at breakneck pace.

Right then, the Great Array she prepared burst into brilliant golden radiance. Ultimately, it shaped into a huge golden sword enveloped in lightning, launching forward to clash directly with the approaching Tribulation Thunder.

Boom—

The clash between them triggered a massive shockwave right away. Luckily, the clan members stayed at a safe distance, and several Earth Immortals stepped in promptly to shield against the backlash, keeping the clan safe from damage.

That said, following the impact, the Tribulation Thunder's force overwhelmed, with leftover lightning bolts still slashing down at Jiang Fengwu.

The Formation that unleashed the Thunder Golden Sword broke apart after scarcely enduring the residual thunder strikes.

Jiang Fengwu couldn't avoid knitting her brows. She realized the Great Array she crafted demanded countless rare Spiritual Objects, but it had only just managed to fend off two Tribulation Thunders.

That realization sparked concern in her about whether the other two Formations she possessed could endure the mounting power of the remaining six Tribulation Thunders.

To be honest, the instant the Formation crumbled, she regretted deploying it too soon; holding it back for a later stage would have offered her much greater advantages.

Besides, if she'd foreseen this, she would've prepared a few extra Formations. Ultimately, she had misjudged how fierce the Thunder Tribulation would be.

Yet quickly, Jiang Fengwu pushed aside those distracting ideas. This was the critical time to focus every bit of her power against the Tribulation Thunder—how could she let doubts creep into her mind now?

Instead of dwelling on stray thoughts, she should grab the opportunity to replenish her Mana!

At the same time, Li Zhirui at last emerged from the Cave Mansion.

Actually, he'd detected the unusual activity outside the moment the Thunder Tribulation started forming, but unfortunately, he was busy refining a set of Heavenly Immortal Rank Pills. The needed Spiritual Objects were incredibly valuable—even he couldn't afford to squander them—so he had to complete the refining process before turning his attention elsewhere.

After all, heading out wouldn't let him assist much; he'd only be able to observe from a distance at most.

Only after succeeding with five Pills did he rush to stand and depart, skipping any cleanup of the Pill Furnace.

The moment Li Zhirui exited, he looked far off at the tribulation clouds; his brows furrowed without thinking, and his face turned exceptionally somber.

Because the intensity and size of this Thunder Tribulation had swelled far beyond its earlier state!

"Why does the Heavenly Dao have to behave this way?!"

Regardless, he couldn't grasp the reason behind the Heavenly Dao's actions. What goal did it aim to achieve? It couldn't just be to limit the count of Heavenly Immortals, right!?

While the chance of a clash between two realms sparking was low, it wasn't out of the question. Hadn't the Primal Spirit Realm faced one before—and that very conflict propelled the Primal Spirit Realm forward.

Curbs on Heavenly Immortals did ease some pressure on the world, but should a devastating war between realms erupt, how would the Primal Spirit Realm defend itself?

Deep in furrowed contemplation, no matter the angles he explored, he found no upsides to such behavior except for easing world pressure.

"Never mind, never mind, I'm heading out soon anyway. Whatever fate awaits the Primal Spirit Realm down the line, I won't be around to see it." Li Zhirui let out a resigned sigh.

The strength of a Heavenly Immortal is truly mighty, but in the face of a world—particularly a Great Thousand World—it amounts to nothing.

Concerning the clan's future then, he wouldn't be able to observe or influence it anymore.

Plus, the crisis he dreaded might never even come to pass.

Once his thoughts settled after wandering, he finally directed his focus toward watching Jiang Fengwu’s Tribulation Transcendence.

When Li Zhirui reached the scene, she was already confronting the fifth Tribulation Thunder.

Even with two more powerful Formations available, Jiang Fengwu didn't rush to use them; rather, she intended to resist using her personal Divine Ability Spells.

Layer upon layer of Great Arrays materialized over her via the Void Array technique, and it was only after breaking through every one that the Tribulation Thunder depleted its energy, grudgingly scattering in the air.

However, these methods exacted a heavy toll on her Mana reserves.

Merely handling two Tribulation Thunders had already drained half of her inner Mana.

It couldn't be helped. Unlike standard Formations, the Void Array approach depended solely on her Mana to mimic Spiritual Objects, leading to enormous expenditure as expected.

Luckily, the Pills from Li Zhirui were all premium quality: they replenished Mana swiftly, were mild in effect, and even when swallowed raw, inflicted minimal harm on the meridians compared to regular Pills.

But the Thunder Tribulation appeared to detect Jiang Fengwu’s vulnerability and offered no respite before fiercely sending down the sixth Tribulation Thunder.

Unlike the previous Tribulation Thunders that emphasized raw power, this one prioritized speed; in a flash, it tore through multiple spatial layers and loomed right over her.

"Damn!"

This Tribulation Thunder had truly taken her by surprise. With no other option, Jiang Fengwu had to trigger her second Formation.
