• After nearly thirty percent of the Origin Ocean’s energy had entered the world without breaking its limits, Luo Qing sent a Heaven-Opening Divine Thunder toward its World Barrier.

The Hua Tian World broke through the Great Thousand World limits and expanded into a ten-trillion-li Cosmic World, draining nearly all the Origin Ocean. As the Primordial World’s thunder tribulation gathered over it, Luo Qing was forced out of the Origin Land and the first Thunder Pillar descended.

The gods across the Primordial World watched and speculated about who was attaining sainthood, while the Kunlun Mountain immortals recognized Luo Qing as the one undergoing the tribulation.
