"All right, break through here. I'll guard the perimeter."
Joy stirred in Chen Changming's heart. He nodded, then vanished from the mountain ravine in a flash.
The next moment, he landed on a distant mountain peak.
Chen Changming stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the ravine.
The Snow Feather Ice Sparrow had reached its breakthrough early because this was its first time properly cultivating in the Spirit Realm.
The spiritual energy in the Vast Mountain was much denser than inside the Beast Taming Bracelet. That abundant energy poured into its body like sweet spring water, driving its cultivation ever higher and bringing its breakthrough forward by more than a month.
An incense stick's worth of time later.
An early-stage Void Refinement Realm aura suddenly emanated from deep within the ravine, carrying wisps of icy cold.
"It's finally broken through to the Void Refinement Realm..."
Watching the Snow Feather Ice Sparrow break through to the Void Refinement Realm filled Chen Changming with joy as well.
Normally, if it had been in the Human Realm, the Snow Feather Ice Sparrow could never have broken through to the Void Refinement Realm so easily.
After coming to the Spirit Realm, however, breaking through had become much easier.
But the Snow Feather Ice Sparrow still had to face the Spirit Realm's powerful heavenly tribulation. It was a gate between life and death: crossing it meant rebirth, while failing meant death.
The heavens suddenly changed.
Violent winds swept through the sky, and dark clouds rolled in. Terrifying lightning flickered incessantly within them, like countless silver snakes churning through a dark ocean.
Darkness shrouded the mountains for a hundred miles around, as though an enormous palm had covered the sky.
Boom!
Bolts of deep blue tribulation lightning crashed down from the tribulation
