The Void Refining Thunder Tribulation descends upon Primordial Peak, blanketing millions of kilometers in oppressive black clouds that turn day into night. Lu Youyou and her companions watch in shock as the first bolt, shaped like a majestic thunder dragon, crashes down, only for Jiang Fan to emerge and shatter it with a single punch, provoking an onslaught of increasingly ferocious lightning strikes manifesting as thunderbirds, qilins, serpents, and other divine beasts. Cloud Fairy reassures the worried group of Jiang Fan's formidable treasures and strength, while distant Primordial Talisman Sect disciples observe the cataclysmic event from afar, awed by its terrifying power.

However, it has merely attained the peak of Foundation Establishment and failed to break through to the Golden Core stage.

Against the might of such a Refining Void expert, the disparity remains utterly immense.

"Master possesses incredible strength. Could this be the fabled Void Refining Thunder Tribulation?"

"Its force resembles divine retribution from above."

"It's said that for ages, nobody in the Void Realm has managed to reach Refining Void."

"Then, Master must be the inaugural Refining Void powerhouse in the Void Realm after all these years."

"That would position him as the supreme being beneath the heavens."

Xiao Huo remarked with profound feeling.

Earlier on, he sensed that his master's cultivation level was profound and far exceeded that of a typical Nascent Soul Cultivator.

To his surprise, in merely a dozen or so years, he started his breakthrough into Refining Void.

Undoubtedly, Master had previously been at the Divinity Transformation stage; that's the only way he could progress at such a rapid pace.

"Hmph, this goes beyond a standard Void Refining Thunder Tribulation."

"Back in antiquity, only peerless geniuses could provoke a tribulation of this intensity."

"The cultivation of the Primordial Talisman Sect's Sect Leader is genuinely profound."

The speaker was the Fire Dragon Tripod's Artifact Spirit, Fire Dragon Daoist, hailing from ancient times.

Having crossed paths with numerous elite Human Race cultivators, it was well-versed in Refining Void experts.

Nevertheless, it regarded the Primordial Talisman Sect Leader's cultivation as deep and formidable, not to be taken lightly.

Far from what average cultivators could rival.

Had it been born during ancient eras, immortality might have been within its grasp.

"Senior, the Void Realm hasn't seen a Refining Void breakthrough in so long."

"Yet recently, spiritual energies keep surging back, and the world faces massive shifts."

"Does this signal impending disaster?"

"For some reason, I can't shake this ominous feeling."

Xiao Huo stated gravely.

Cultivating peacefully within the Primordial Talisman Sect had seemed like an ideal path.

Lately, though, worldly transformations have intensified and accelerated dramatically.

Day by day, everything evolves swiftly.

Such developments stirred anxiety within him, making him ponder if some unforeseen upheaval was brewing.

"Your intuition holds true; the world is truly transforming."

"Maybe soon enough, the Void Realm will reclaim the glory of antiquity."

"Thus, countless chances will arise without end."

"This era offers cultivators the prime moment to ascend."

"Letting these chances slip could lead to lifelong remorse."

The Fire Dragon Daoist spoke with a touch of nostalgia.

Indeed, it held knowledge of numerous ancient mysteries.

That's how it endured from antiquity until now.

In the past, much of its recollection had faded.

Yet, as Xiao Huo's cultivation advanced and he seized certain fortunes, it regained a significant portion of its memories.

Consequently, it grasped better the implications of the Void Realm's alterations.

This realization also instilled a profound urgency in its core.

"Therefore, once reaching Golden Core, it's unwise to remain confined to the Sect."

"Venturing outward becomes essential."

"Lest opportunities simply drop into your lap."

Xiao Huo agreed with a nod.

The remaining true disciples stayed utterly silent, their gazes fixed on the far-off heavenly tribulation, brimming with fervent anticipation.

To them, this served as a beacon.

In due course, they too aspired to enter the Void Refinement Realm, just like their master.

Or surpass it entirely.

......

After seven days.

At long last, the thunder tribulation concluded.

The ominous clouds overhead fully dispersed as well.

Jiang Fan had unquestionably triumphed over this Void Refining Thunder Tribulation.

Every trick in his arsenal was employed to conquer this ordeal.

Luckily, with his array of magical treasures and vast magical power reserves, he pulled through; without them, success might have eluded him.

Thus, the sheer horror of this unprecedented thunder tribulation becomes clear.

"Could this be the Qi of Creation?"

Right then, Jiang Fan positioned himself on Primordial Peak, sensing threads of Qi of Creation cascading from above.

This heavenly boon follows the successful weathering of the thunder tribulation.

Naturally, the fiercer the tribulation endured, the richer the reward bestowed.

They stand in direct proportion.

Now, these strands of Qi of Creation flowed into his form, instantly mending his wounds.

Simultaneously, his inner Primordial Magical Power and Primordial Spirit Power surged visibly at an astonishing rate.

Such velocity outstripped the fruits of painstaking cultivation by miles.

Just absorbing these divine rewards spared him immense toil and time in his practice.

His physical body too was swiftly bolstered by this arcane force.

Remarkably, his advancement in the Soaring Snake Technique leaped forward.

"Finally, I've genuinely stepped into the First Layer of Void Refining."

"At this level, I rank among the mighty even in the Spirit Ruins Realm."

"Though it doesn't permit wild abandon, foes can no longer slay me with ease."

"Within the Void Realm, I'd stand as an unbeatable force."

"Save for ancient relics awakening from bygone eras."

"No one else could touch me."

Jiang Fan balled his fists tightly.

His battle prowess had multiplied manifold.

This marked a fundamental leap from his prior state.

The chasm between Divinity Transformation and Void Refining proved staggeringly wide.

Likely, a single notion from him could wipe out hordes of Divinity Transformation cultivators.

A single realm's divide mirrors the difference between a colossal elephant and a tiny ant.

"Elder Fu, how does cultivation proceed in the Refining Void Realm?"

Presently, Jiang Fan retreated to his secluded room to gradually consolidate his newfound power.

Still, his curiosity about Refining Void cultivation burned intensely.

Deeper insight would undoubtedly aid his path forward.

At present, the Primordial Talisman Pen knew more about Refining Void cultivation than anyone.

Hearing this, the Primordial Talisman Pen experienced a surge of emotion, astonished that this youth had soared to Refining Void so swiftly, defying all predictions.

Yet, such swift progress to Refining Void was undoubtedly beneficial.

Especially in the peril-laden Void Realm, it allowed far easier self-preservation.

"Refining Void cultivation remains simple: persistently refining divine sense and magical power."

"This advances the evolution of primordial spirit and magical power."

"Take the initial Refining Void stage, known anciently as the Celestial Eye Realm."

"What gives it this title?"

"Because entering the First Layer of Refining Void triggers another evolution in the primordial spirit."

"It forms up to ten thousand soul tendrils."

"Then, the primordial spirit may exit the body and ascend freely."

"Divine sense expands, with countless soul tendrils weaving a soul network."

"This network spans not only the skies but also permeates the surrounding void."

"Thus, the primordial spirit acts as a celestial eye, merging with the void like a god, effortlessly detecting disturbances anywhere."

"Thanks to this Celestial Eye of Refining Void, ambushes from foes become nearly impossible."

The Primordial Talisman Pen elaborated.

Clearly, entering the Refining Void Realm signifies a sublime elevation for any cultivator.

Even prodigies of legend struggle to defy those at higher levels.

"So, the Primordial Spirit Celestial Eye?"

Jiang Fan's mind raced.

Exactly as Elder Fu outlined, ten thousand soul tendrils had already formed within him.

Every tendril stretched out to a million kilometers.

Interlinked, these myriad tendrils created an enormous soul web.

It functioned like a heavenly eye, perceiving all movements and energies across a million-kilometer expanse.

Vastly superior to the Divinity Transformation stage by an immeasurable degree.

Utterly unmatched.

This defines the whole early Refining Void period.

For example, reaching the Second Layer of Refining Void evolves divine sense further, fostering twenty thousand divine sense tendrils.

At the Third Layer of Refining Void, it cultivates thirty thousand such tendrils.

It's only upon hitting the Fourth Layer of Refining Void, entering mid-stage, that abilities truly amplify more.

"When you enter mid-stage Refining Void, primordial spirit strength surges further."

"This phase extends beyond mere celestial eye possession."

"Void traversal becomes possible too."

The Primordial Talisman Pen went on.
