In the desolate borderlands of the universe, a great tribulation raged. Immortal Light destroyed the world, and an endless sea of lightning drowned everything.

Countless stars turned to ashes in an instant. Everything was annihilated beneath the world-shaking tribulation, leaving nothing behind.

Yet amid that world-shaking calamity, a great sun shone eternally, dazzlingly bright and driving away the darkness.

The sea of lightning was so vast that it surpassed everyone's imagination, leaving countless people horrified and dumbfounded.

The Great Emperor Tribulation had only just begun, yet it was already this violent. Such a tribulation was absolutely rare throughout the ages.

Perhaps this was the price one had to pay to forcefully attain the Dao!

The legendary tribulations of lightning appeared one after another: the Purple Heaven Tribulation, the Great Five Elements Tribulation, and the Nine Heavens Immortal Tribulation.

Every one of these tribulations was terrifying beyond measure. Even in legend, they had appeared only a handful of times.

Ying Hao's black hair flowed like a waterfall, his expression solemn as he stood amid the boundless sea of lightning and fiercely battled the Heavenly Tribulation.

To him, the Great Emperor Tribulation was not only a trial, but also a baptism!

By tempering himself through this terrifying calamity, his body and Primordial Spirit would transform together, and he would become a living god.

The tribulation grew increasingly intense. The Great Dao manifested, and terrifying lightning transformed into terrifying creatures that all pounced upon him.

A true dragon soared through the sky, the Vermilion Bird destroyed the world, a phoenix spread its wings, and the White Tiger roared at the heavens.

Yet amid the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, Ying Hao raised his head to the sky, unmoving as a mountain, continuously resisting the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Who exactly is forcefully attaining the Dao? Facing such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, how can he hold out for so long?"

"This is incredible! Could he really forcefully attain the Dao?"

"Impossible! No one has ever succeeded since ancient times. Could someone truly break the taboo that has endured throughout the ages?"

This unprecedented tribulation was terrifying beyond measure. Even from a great distance, it made people tremble with fear.

Even the Supremes in the Forbidden Zone were alarmed, casting their attentive gazes over.

The more the Supremes watched, the more frightened they became. This terrifying Heavenly Tribulation had already surpassed the tribulation they had faced when they attained the Dao.

They had once been invincible powerhouses, confident that there was nothing in the world they could not accomplish.

But if they had still been yet to attain the Dao back then, and had faced such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, could they have crossed it safely?

Time slowly passed. The tribulation grew ever more terrifying, as though Heaven's punishment had descended to destroy all things and annihilate everything.

The more the Supremes watched, the more frightened they became, their gazes converging on that dazzling great sun.

Being able to hold out for so long amid such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation was something no ordinary person could accomplish.

The person crossing the tribulation was no simple character!

If this person truly succeeded in crossing the tribulation, would the world not gain another invincible powerhouse?

The Supremes were decisive beyond compare. Sensing the danger in the unseen, they immediately attacked without hesitation.

All at once, an inexplicable aura manifested. The rules of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth fell into chaos and transformed into primordial chaos.

Ying Hao sensed the change in the Heavenly Tribulation, and his expression immediately turned solemn. A Supreme had made a move.

A Supreme had used heaven-defying means to attack from a distant location, attempting to alter his Heavenly Tribulation.

His Heavenly Tribulation was already terrifying enough. If a Supreme interfered with it, it would certainly become even more terrifying.

They intended to send him to his death!

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Suddenly, another Supreme attacked, letting out a mighty Dao shout that transformed into a vast heavenly sound and churned the Heavenly Tribulation into chaos.

Ying Hao took a deep breath. If this had happened in the past, he would most likely have perished within the Heavenly Tribulation.

But now, everything was different!

The Five Great Secret Realms all radiated light. Within his flesh and between his bones, blazing True Sun Fire surged forth.

The great sun hung in the sky, growing increasingly dazzling as it plunged directly into the surging, boundless sea of lightning.

Countless people were left dumbfounded. Facing such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, how could he still dare to be so bold?

Amid the boundless sea of lightning, Ying Hao fought in a bloody battle, slaying the creatures formed from lightning.

Immortal Medicine rose and sank within it, terrifying beyond measure as it radiated the Immortal Dao Laws and aura.

"Were the immortals who once perished reflected by the Heavenly Tribulation?"

Within the sea of lightning, behind every stalk of Immortal Medicine was a face, some male and some female.

Ying Hao fought them while silently comprehending the Immortal Dao Laws contained within the Immortal Medicine. This was a rare opportunity!

As far as he knew, every Immortal Medicine had an extraordinary origin. They might well have been transformed from powerhouses who had perished long ago.

For example, there had once been a Pan King in the former Immortal Domain, and this place now had the Peach Immortal Medicine.

There was also the Chaos Green Lotus, the Dragon Immortal Medicine, the White Tiger Immortal Medicine, and so on.

Now, within the Heavenly Tribulation, the true appearances of the Immortal Medicine had revealed a glimpse of themselves. If he carefully comprehended them, he would definitely benefit immensely.

"He's still transforming?"

A Supreme in the Forbidden Zone sighed, his expression shifting slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

This terrifying Heavenly Tribulation had already surpassed the level of the Great Emperor Tribulation. Even powerhouses at their level had to face it cautiously.

Not only had the person crossing the tribulation taken the initiative to charge into the Heavenly Tribulation, he could actually transform within it as well?

"Another peerless genius!"

A Supreme sighed. Throughout the endless ages, such peerless geniuses had been rare, but they had never been absent.

There had been the Nether Emperor and the Emperor Venerable, as well as the Undying Heavenly Emperor and the Battle Saint Sovereign, who had passed away not long ago.

Many Supremes had already realized that if this person could truly survive the Heavenly Tribulation, the world might well gain another supreme powerhouse.

"The danger in the unseen is growing ever more intense. I can sense that this will be a formidable enemy!"

"Danger should be strangled in its cradle. It is better to kill ten thousand by mistake than let one slip through our fingers!"

"Don't rush! We need not act ourselves. Someone is more anxious than we are!"

The Supremes' divine senses communicated through the void. Every one of them was deeply wary of the person crossing the tribulation.

They had already interfered with the person crossing the tribulation, but judging from the current situation, that alone was clearly not enough.

In the desolate borderlands of the universe, the lightning grew even more intense. Endless tribulations descended in full force, seeking to exterminate Ying Hao.

The Immortal Medicine soared through the air, its dazzling radiance drowning the entire universe and seemingly piercing through the past and future.

Ten thousand layers of lightning seas, boundless blazing radiance, the Nine Heavens Immortal Tribulation, the Chaos World-Destroying Thunder, the Immortal Spirit Killing Sea...

Far too many tribulations descended together. Even though Ying Hao was constantly transforming, his entire body was now drenched in blood.

He charged upward against the current, blasting apart the Heavenly Heart Imprint and shattering the resistance of the myriad Daos as he advanced step by step, his head held high toward the heavens.

The shackles of Heaven and Earth could not stop him. Since Heaven and Earth did not permit it, he would shatter this Heaven and Earth!

The light of the Five Great Secret Realms grew increasingly dazzling, forming a special resonance as his final transformation proceeded.

He was only one step away from attaining the Dao!

"Such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, yet you've managed to hold out until now. It seems you truly have hope of forcefully attaining the Dao!"

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out, and a figure appeared in the distant starry sky.

It was incomparably holy, as though formed from Divine Source, dazzlingly bright and radiating an aura that made people suffocate.

Ying Hao turned to look, without the slightest hint of surprise on his face. The Underworld Supreme had come in the end!

"You are very strong! You can be called a peerless genius, rare throughout the ages!"

The Underworld Supreme's eyes were filled with admiration, but that admiration looked more like the way one regarded a fruit that was about to ripen.
