Countless bolts of lightning raged across the starry sky like a raging storm.
When the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine appeared once more, the entire starry sky seemed to change color.
It gleamed with a cold, razor-sharp light, like a blade from another dimension, capable of cutting through every obstacle.
Mysterious runes and patterns flowed across its blade, every detail radiating boundless terror and majesty.
The instant the guillotine swung, the starry sky seemed to split in two. A massive rift opened in the void, as if the entire universe were about to be cleaved in half.
The horrifying force filled Su Li with despair. He fought back with all his might, but the guillotine still struck him down and left him gravely wounded.
Blood stained the front of his clothes, and his body swayed precariously in the void.
At that moment, he felt despair and helplessness unlike anything he had ever known, as if the whole world had crumbled around him.
Though he was an emperor reborn through Samsara and had endured countless trials and hardships in his previous life, he had done so with the support of his immortal cultivation.
Now, in his mortal body, he had to withstand a guillotine capable of slaying True Immortals. It could not kill him, but it could certainly leave him gravely wounded.
Yet just as he reached the depths of despair, the immortal artifacts bestowed upon him by Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation finally came to his aid.
The three mysterious immortal artifacts held formidable power and energy.
At Su Li's command, they erupted in dazzling light, forming a sturdy shield that blocked the guillotine's attack.
With the artifacts' help, Su Li finally weathered the calamity.
Bathed in blood, Su Li stood resolutely beneath the tribulation light, his gaze full of determination and resolve.
By now, Su Li was nearly spent. His skin cracked like dry wood, and his sunken eyes were lifeless. He seemed liable to collapse at any moment.
Yet he showed no hint of retreat. Gritting his teeth, he used every last ounce of strength to withstand the terrifying tribulation of immortal ascension.
In the depths of the starry sky, Su Li's tribulation of immortal ascension had already lasted a full half month.
Throughout those two weeks, the entire starry sky seemed enveloped by the calamity, a scene both terrifying and mysterious.
Every flash of lightning was like the mightiest force in heaven and earth run amok, as if it would tear the entire starry sky to pieces.
Wherever the lightning passed, countless dying star domains and shattered realms vanished in an instant.
The once-glorious Ancient Realms were battered by the lightning until they lay in fragments, no longer in existence.
Every bolt that fell was like the cruelest judgment of heaven and earth, utterly destroying every obstacle in the path to immortality.
And yet, in the midst of such utter desperation, Su Li displayed astonishing resilience and perseverance.
He did not give up. He chose to press on. He knew this tribulation was an unavoidable step on his path to immortality. Only by enduring its baptism could he truly transform into an immortal.
His body trembled constantly beneath the lightning's assault, but his gaze remained firm and powerful. Gritting his teeth, he endured endless pain and torment.
Every bolt that fell seemed to temper his will and perseverance, making him ever more resilient and powerful.
Throughout the ordeal, Su Li's body continued to change.
His aura grew stronger and stronger, and a mysterious light began to radiate from around him. It was a sign of the power of immortality, proof that he was growing and transforming amid the tribulation.
At last, when the final bolt of lightning faded from the starry sky, Su Li's body completely collapsed.
Yet on the brink of that collapse, a mighty aura burst from within him, as though some mysterious force were holding him up. Beneath the tribulation light, his body blazed with new life and vigor, as if he had been reborn and had truly transformed into an immortal.
With the last bolt of lightning gone, the starry sky grew peaceful once more.
Yet amid the stillness, a fresh and powerful aura began to rise.
It was Su Li's aura. After half a month of enduring the tribulation, he had completed his transformation from the mortal realm to the immortal realm.
Brilliant immortal light poured from around his body like the rising sun, illuminating the entire universe.
That light held boundless vitality, as if the power of all life had gathered within him. His aura, too, had become deep and far-reaching, like a sea of stars, impossible to fathom.
Bathed in immortal light, Su Li's appearance changed beyond recognition.
His figure grew taller and more upright, his features more handsome, and his eyes gleamed with wisdom and profoundness.
He was no longer the youth he had once been, but a true powerhouse of the immortal path.
Su Li's strength and talent had already surpassed the prodigies of his generation.
His silhouette became the goal they would pursue for the rest of their lives.
Through the brilliant immortal light deep in the universe, the prodigies of every race watched Su Li's silhouette, their hearts filled with awe and longing.
Yet for Su Li, all of this was only the beginning.
He knew there was no end to the path of immortality. The Land of Heaven and the Eerie Plateau were what he sought!
Only by ceaselessly striving and progressing could he keep moving forward, challenging his limits and reaching for higher realms and greater power.
At that moment, Su Li seemed to have become one with the entire universe. His very existence was part of it.
Su Li stood at the edge of the starry sky and drew a deep breath, preparing to unleash that peerless strike.
His eyes gleamed with determination and resolve, as if he had already made a momentous decision.
Immortal power surged within him as an incomparably mighty force gathered in his body.
He slowly raised his palm. Brilliant radiance gathered there like a dazzling star, containing boundless vitality and destructive power, as if it could tear through every obstacle.
When Su Li swung his palm down, the dazzling radiance erupted, illuminating the entire universe.
The light held an indescribable power, as if it could shatter everything and rewrite everything.
At that moment, the will of the universe seemed to sense the terror of this power. It let out a mournful cry, a sound of unbearable grief and despair, as if lamenting its own fate.
As the radiance faded, Su Li's connection to this universe was severed completely.
He had cut his ties to this universe because he knew that both this universe and this ancient history had been reflected by his own forbidden art; they were not the true ancient history.
He had made this decision to avoid the consequences of transcending the ancient history.
He understood that only by severing his connection to the universe could he truly transcend it in the future, and pursue a higher realm and greater power.
At that moment, Su Li seemed to have torn himself away from the entire universe.
He stood there, solitary and resolute, his figure towering in the starry sky like an invincible powerhouse of the immortal path.
And all of this was only the beginning.
