In the peaceful kingdom of Valemont, threats from Green Skins have faded, lands reclaimed, and the economy stabilized, brightened further by the queen's pregnancy announcement. David relaxes by the lake with his wife, joined by Qingyi and Isabel for affectionate family moments hinting at future grandchildren. Alone, David and Qingyi discuss the looming ascension to greater dangers, with Qingyi providing immense resources to elevate the royal couple's power and secure the realm. They then prepare a lavish city-wide banquet, emptying reserves for barbecues and celebrations honoring the Lightning Prince amid chants of his name.

Upon departing from Valemont, Qingyi explored each part of the Immortal Realm.

Alongside Lucios, he eliminated several more green-skinned beings and lavished a vast sum of lust points on presents that he insisted Tai'Ren and Jin Hao accept.

Both men initially refused the gifts, yet Qingyi compelled them to keep them, warning that he'd distribute it all to the common folk otherwise.

Ultimately, while such treasures held immense value for them, they meant almost nothing to Qingyi.

Thanks to Auranys, acquiring those items barely scratched the surface of his lust point stockpile.

'Today... marks the last day...' Qingyi murmured in a voice laced with sorrow.

Everything was complete.

He had devoted maximum time to those he held close in the immortal heavens, and now came the moment to proceed.

Numerous foes awaited him there, and he required a method to conceal his bloodline, though he already devised strategies for it.

At present, conquering the celestial tribulation stood as his priority.

Letting out a gentle breath, Qingyi transported himself, materializing atop the tallest summit of the eastern continent, within a remote northern expanse.

'You understand my purpose here...' Qingyi murmured, gazing skyward.

The day shone bright and unclouded.

Azure skies stretched wide, adorned solely by scattered pristine white clouds.

However, as soon as his words echoed, the scene transformed dramatically.

The blue hue faded away, while the white clouds proliferated, shifting into a profound, rumbling darkness.

Observing this, Qingyi released another sigh.

Different forms of celestial tribulations existed, from those meant to eradicate to ones serving as mere tests.

Yet only nine qualified as genuine celestial tribulations.

During his ascent to the immortal heavens, Qingyi endured three such trials, and for elevation to the celestial heavens, three additional ones loomed ahead.

He understood the heavens would show no mercy toward him—in fact, the reverse held true.

At all costs, the heavens aimed to wipe him out.

Still, fear eluded Qingyi.

Even if they unleashed twice the force, he vowed to shatter them.

'We stand as foes,' Qingyi declared, unsheathing the Heaven-Defying Thunder Sword. 'You recognize my identity, and you realize the need to destroy me.'

'Your efforts will prove futile.'

As his declaration resounded, a booming vibration rippled through the skies.

Resembling an inverted shockwave, it emanated from the remote edges of the dark cloud ocean, funneling inward to the core, with countless lightning strikes merging simultaneously.

The spectacle proved horrifying, prompting fearful gazes across the immortal heavens to fix upon the clouds.

Individuals aware of the event wore expressions of deep worry; the uninformed prepared for apocalyptic doom.

'COME!' Qingyi bellowed, disregarding the icy shiver creeping along his back and the ominous pressure building nearby.

It resembled the assault of multiple Heavenly Demons fused into one colossal entity, descending as godly retribution.

Drawing in a steady breath, Qingyi then vaulted skyward,

unleashing the Heaven-Shattering Divine Slash.

The blade rent the spatial weave encircling him, its keen edge clashing against the silvery bolt.

As though doomsday approached, Qingyi's lightning intertwined with the celestial fury in a cataclysmic clash.

Below, the mountaintop crumbled into powder, all moisture vaporized, and every creature in a radius of tens of kilometers perished in instant flames.

'Yield!' Qingyi thundered, finishing the strike at last, as the heaven-defying thunder sword cleaved the initial heavenly bolt apart.

'Two left...' Qingyi clenched his jaw, sensing his meridians ablaze with pain.

'Feeling fear?' he taunted, his mouth twisting into a sneer of disdain. 'Excellent...'

Right after his words landed, the second heavenly lightning coalesced, surging with greater might than before, causing the dark clouds to quiver.

Qingyi enveloped his form in the black dragon's armored scales, his gaze sharpening to ice.

In his wake, a mighty roar resounded, a shadowy dragon howling at the skies in furious rebellion.

Allowing himself one brief instant to ready, Qingyi surged ahead again, confronting the second tribulation peal. The collision unleashed dread, quakes rippling worldwide, from the rebuilding enlightened imperial capital to distant Valemont.

Overwhelming shocks engulfed all, sowing widespread disorder.

A primal bellow escaped Qingyi as the meridians in his grip on the Heaven-Defying Thunder Sword frayed, threads of celestial thunder carving into his frame.

Immediately following the second, unvanquished bolt, a third gathered, amassing every shred of heavenly might available.

'Decided to get serious, have you? Hahahaha.' Qingyi laughed wildly, baring teeth stained crimson, as he invoked his innermost potent energy.

The flames of primordial chaos.

Those legendary fires, foretold in ancient lore to eventually incinerate the heavens.

Suddenly, scorching heat erupted around Qingyi, causing nearby elements to liquefy at once—from woodlands scores of kilometers distant to the mountain's remnants beneath.

No entity withstood the flames of primordial chaos.

The third heavenly bolt fused with the second, bearing down upon the ocean of ashen flames encircling Qingyi with immense pressure.

Briefly, stillness reigned.

Qingyi expended his full arsenal, channeling Qi and Mana, his elemental forces, and even draconic Qi.

He grunted in agony while the dark scales ripped from his skin under the invasive thunder, inflicting severe wounds.

The heavens exerted maximum effort within the immortal realm to vanquish Qingyi then and there, eradicating the threat permanently.

Yet it fell short.

The flames of primordial chaos devoured the celestial thunder and ascended toward the firmament, devouring all in reach.

A deafening blast reverberated, rending the skies asunder, akin to a rift unveiling another realm.

'Ah... at last...' Qingyi exhaled, easing his tension.

[Why hesitate? Begin your recovery immediately!] Ruxue's voice rang in his thoughts, evidently quaking with worry.

'On my way, my dear.' Qingyi advanced one small step, whereupon his figure dissolved into nothingness.
