Jiang Fan faced the Heart Demon Tribulation as Celestial Demons unleashed vivid illusions of fear, betrayal, and failure, flooding his mind with despair and attempting to drag him into eternal torment. A mysterious energy preserved his clarity, allowing him to summon the Demon-Vibrating Bell, whose resounding tolls unleashed golden sound waves that shredded and purified the demons, sealing the void rift and restoring calm. He devoured the released soul energy to bolster his soul power significantly, but thick dark clouds soon gathered overhead, brewing the destructive Void Refining Thunder Tribulation.

Meanwhile.

Lu Youyou and the rest couldn't help but notice the strange occurrence across the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm and the heavens over Primordial Peak.

This sight left innumerable cultivators in utter shock.

"Void Refining Thunder Tribulation, the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation has come at last."

"I never thought the Thunder Tribulation would strike so soon, barely giving anyone a moment to recover."

"One could only say that this fellow overcame the Heart Demon Tribulation with such incredible speed, resulting in this dramatic shift."

Cloud Fairy let out a sigh while observing the spectacle.

She had witnessed plenty of cultivators attempting to break through to the Void Refining realm.

Yet, she had never encountered a Void Refining Thunder Tribulation quite so fearsome.

The ominous black clouds stretched over millions of kilometers, appearing endless and immense.

Far off, the heavens turned completely dark, radiating an intense sense of suppression, reminiscent of divine retribution falling from above.

"Master, this Void Refining Thunder Tribulation seems so frightening—will my husband make it through safely?"

Lu Youyou inquired with evident anxiety.

In that instant, she sensed as though an unseen colossal hand gripped the whole cosmos.

Within mere breaths, the once bright or lightly overcast sky got swallowed by rapidly amassing dense black clouds, dark like ink, heavy like lead, their borders churning with a sinister purple glow that expanded at an eye-defying pace, quickly enveloping the expansive region spanning millions of kilometers.

Below, be it mountains, lakes, oceans, creatures, or plants, all fell under this limitless gloom, transforming day into unending night, with faint eerie flashes piercing from the cloud's depths, outlining the sky and earth in a way that pressed down oppressively, nearly suffocating.

"Don't fret, your husband wields many powerful techniques."

"He holds an array of magical treasures beyond count."

"Certain artifacts even elude my perception."

"If this young man fails to pass the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation, then truly no one could."

"Admittedly, the might of this Thunder Tribulation does seem overly intense."

"Still, should he endure it, the rewards will prove immensely rewarding."

"Indeed, danger and fortune walk hand in hand."

Cloud Fairy responded with steady composure.

For a typical cultivator, surviving this Thunder Tribulation would prove utterly unattainable, leading swiftly to their end.

However, an average cultivator likely wouldn't trigger such a horrifying Thunder Tribulation in the first place.

Thus, she held no fears whatsoever regarding Jiang Fan's ability to overcome this trial.

Rumble~~

Right then, the Thunder Tribulation at last unleashed its fury.

The initial strike of tribulation thunder echoed not as the low growl of common thunder, but as a piercing shriek ripping across the cosmos. At the heart of the churning black clouds, a violet tribulation bolt, massive like a dragon, abruptly unfurled. This lightning didn't remain mere electricity; it subtly shaped into a thunder dragon boasting distinct scales and talons. Its draconic head lifted proudly, jaws gaping wide enough to devour the sun and moon, with violet energy coursing over its scales, emanating destructive grandeur and awe, as it plunged savagely toward Primordial Peak.

In that moment, a silhouette soared forth from Primordial Peak, confronting the thunder tribulation head-on.

And that silhouette was none other than Jiang Fan.

With a simple punch delivered effortlessly, he shattered the incoming tribulation thunder.

Even as the tribulation thunder bore down upon him, it failed to inflict the tiniest damage on his body, as though he embodied a True Spirit.

Yet this action fully enraged the heavenly tribulation.

Shortly thereafter, the second, third... endless violet tribulation thunders came crashing one after another.

They no longer held a uniform shape; some morphed into thunderbirds whose wings blanketed the sky, scattering purple electric filaments like a torrent in all directions; others solidified into majestic thunder qilins, lightning coiling around their solitary horns, blending an odd mix of holiness and savagery; yet more appeared as twisting thunder serpents, charging thunder horses, bellowing thunder lions...

Innumerable illusions of divine beasts, forged from violet tribulation thunder, surged and howled amid the dark clouds. Every clash, every cry, brought booming thunder that didn't descend into disorder but rather mimicked the beat of ancient war drums, thumping against the rhythm of the world, making every soul quiver in response.

The storm of lightning intensified relentlessly, purple bolts nearly serving as the only illumination across this realm, slashing through the shadows, revealing the turmoil boiling in the clouds, and exposing the voids warping and fracturing beneath the thunderbolts' onslaught.

The once-secure spatial barrier, battered by the violet tribulation thunders, started displaying spiderweb fractures, from whose depths an alarming void abyss lurked, as if some mysterious entity gazed through the gaps at this world engulfed in tribulation.

"This is way too much—is this really the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation?"

"Could any cultivator actually survive crossing it?"

Su Weiwei and Lu Youyou, observing from afar, also felt a deep sense of dread and unease.

They believed that just one stray bolt of this tribulation thunder could incinerate them without effort.

No amount of resistance from them would change that.

Although tales of the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation's horrors had reached their ears before, they hadn't imagined it would reach such nightmarish levels.

Fortunately, they detected their husband's presence remaining dominantly potent.

Even against these horrifying tribulation thunders, he held his ground steadfastly.

This brought them considerable comfort.

At the very least, this tribulation thunder couldn't fell their beloved at present.

...

Meanwhile.

A host of true disciples from the Primordial Talisman Sect observed from afar.

Such as Senior Brother Xiao Huo, along with Luo Wu, Mu Yuan, Yin Zhao Peak, Xue Zhiheng, Song Yuming, Shen Yanci, and more.

After all, approaching too near Primordial Peak was too risky for them, as they might get caught in the tribulation thunders' reach.

It could be said that cultivators of their modest strength lacked even the right to draw closer.

Despite their long cultivation period and swift advancements.
