Bathing in the Sea of Thunder, Supreme Secret Realm

The Immortal Qi condensation ended, and a thunder tribulation descended. It was a Sea of Thunder, shimmering with golden light and surging with purple mist. Within it, countless Divine Chains and void runes gathered and churned.

Undoubtedly, it was another Annihilation Thunder Tribulation.

"This damned heaven...!"

Ye Ming sighed helplessly, cursing.

For others, the Annihilation Thunder Tribulation was merely a legend. Yet, for him, it appeared every single time. At this moment, even Ye Ming began to suspect if heaven was deliberately targeting him.

Perhaps it was because the nine strands of Immortal Qi Ye Ming had condensed earlier were too terrifying.

Now, upon seeing the rarely encountered Annihilation Thunder Tribulation, everyone watched the scene with indifference.

If it were any other Prodigy, they would have already shocked countless people. But for Ye Ming, everything seemed utterly ordinary.

"Haha, serves you right for condensing nine strands of Immortal Qi."

Even an Elder was laughing heartily. It was the Sixth Elder, Blood Soul, who showed no concern for Ye Ming at all.

After all, the last time Ye Ming faced the Annihilation Thunder Tribulation, they had seen it. In the end, the tribulation had only blasted off his clothes, and he was otherwise unharmed. Where could anyone even complain about that?

Not to mention, with the nine strands of Immortal Qi now empowering Ye Ming, there was even less to worry about.

At this moment, the powerhouses within the Forbidden Zone watched this scene with placid expressions.

The only one whose expression changed was Liu Mingyue.

"This... this is the Annihilation Thunder Tribulation!!!"

Liu Mingyue's beautiful eyes widened in utter shock.

The Annihilation Thunder Tribulation also existed only in legends. Liu Mingyue had only heard of it and was seeing it for the first time!

Nine strands of Immortal Qi, the Annihilation Thunder Tribulation – no matter where they appeared, they would be enough to shake the world.

What she saw and heard today dealt a tremendous blow to Liu Mingyue, a proud daughter of heaven.

Only now did she realize that compared to Ye Ming, this Imperial Son, she was like a country bumpkin...

Liu Mingyue was somewhat dazed. While she had been congratulating herself for condensing four strands of Immortal Qi, he was playing in the high-stakes game that only existed in legends!

Who was the true trash here?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the sky above, thunder roared like a True Dragon soaring and dancing, shaking the entire world. The terrifying might of the Heavenly Tribulation made the entire Forbidden Zone tremble.

"Tell me, in what way will the Imperial Son overcome this tribulation this time?"

The Sixth Elder chuckled calmly, asking the elders beside him.

"In my opinion, this Annihilation Thunder Tribulation is countless times more terrifying than the last one. The Imperial Son will at least have to shed some skin?"

The Annihilation Thunder Tribulation, capable of making supreme Prodigies perish, was, in the eyes of these elders, only capable of peeling a layer of skin off Ye Ming!

If this were to get out, no one would believe it!

"I think he'll at least be severely injured!"

Another voice chimed in. It was the Grand Elder, Gu Yuan. He hadn't appeared the last time Ye Ming experienced the thunder tribulation, so he was unaware of the situation.

He shook his head as he spoke, inwardly lamenting if these old fools had lived too long and become foolish. While the Imperial Son's ability to condense nine strands of Immortal Qi was indeed frightening, this was the Annihilation Thunder Tribulation. No matter how confident one was, they should still treat it seriously.

At this moment, Gu Yuan was prepared to make arrangements for Ye Ming in advance if he saw that the situation was not going well.

After all, in the eyes of this old man, Ye Ming's importance now surpassed everything else.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Heavenly Tribulation grew increasingly fierce. Its immense power was, in the eyes of countless people, something a cultivator in the Dao Palace Realm absolutely could not withstand.

"Heh, let me see just how terrifying this thunder tribulation can be this time!"

A voice that shook heaven and earth rang out. It was Ye Ming.

His body was enveloped in brilliant divine flames, like a primordial Demonic God. His aura surged, his skin was crystalline, supremely holy and divine.

The blood within him began to boil, his vital energy shaking the heavens and earth, rumbling like thunder.

Boom!

A shocking scene unfolded. Ye Ming did not wait for the Heavenly Tribulation to descend; instead, he soared into the sky himself, charging straight into the nine heavens and plunging into the Sea of Thunder.

This scene stunned countless people.

"Imperial Son, absolutely not! This is the Annihilation Thunder Tribulation!"

Even with his confidence in Ye Ming, the Sixth Elder couldn't help but show a worried expression at this moment.

"Hiss! Be ready. If the Imperial Son gets injured later!"

"Ugh... charging into the lightning, this isn't ordinary thunder!!!"

Gu Yuan was completely dumbfounded. He felt that the strange occurrences he witnessed today far outnumbered all the strange things he had encountered before.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Above the firmament, within the Sea of Thunder, was a figure like a Demonic God – Ye Ming.

His black hair, like ink, fluttered in the air. Nine wisps of Immortal Qi swirled around him, making him appear even more extraordinary.

At this moment, he was attacking, wreaking havoc in the Sea of Thunder. His battle intent blazed, his aura reached its peak. He clenched his fist into a Fist Seal and unleashed a punch. Chaotic demonic light exploded, tearing through the void for ten thousand miles. His momentum was incredibly majestic, inspiring awe and fear.

His physique was too powerful. His entire body's blood began to boil, and his surging blood qi shattered the universe, rumbling like thunder. Bathed in the Sea of Thunder, he was forging an even stronger physique…

"Ugh…"

"This…"

"This is a bit absurd…"

At this moment, a group of speechless people stared at Ye Ming's imposing figure, unsure of what to say.

They exchanged glances, looking at each other, their minds buzzing…

As time passed, the crowd hadn't moved their gaze at all. They stared blankly at the firmament, watching Ye Ming's Demonic God-like figure strike the Sea of Thunder.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Until the very last moment, the Sea of Thunder vanished. After being bathed in the Annihilation Thunder Tribulation, Ye Ming's body grew even stronger.

Thus, Ye Ming's breakthrough finally concluded.

"Dao Palace Realm triple-layered, not bad!"

Ye Ming's voice was calm, neither arrogant nor impatient.

He felt his current realm, having broken through three layers consecutively with an incredibly solid foundation. He could sense the power contained within his body. If the current him were to face someone like Lin Jian or Long Hao.

Ye Ming was confident he could defeat them with one punch each!

Time passed. Several months had gone by since Ye Ming's breakthrough.

And now, news was spreading throughout the Three Thousand Dao Provinces that a Supreme Secret Realm was about to open in the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain.

In an instant, it attracted the attention of countless prodigies from major powers.

The Supreme Secret Realm was left behind by a Supreme Being. It contained countless divine miracles and even the possibility of obtaining a Supreme Being's complete orthodox lineage.

It held immense appeal even for some of the world's forbidden forces, immortal orthodoxies, and ancient royal clans.

In a short period, prodigies from all over the Three Thousand Dao Provinces began to act. Among the prodigies of this world, no one acknowledged another's superiority.

And this time, it might be the first true contest of prodigies since the Golden Age beg
