The Heavenly Tribulation rose again.
This time, the tribulation fire did not descend from the heavens—it ignited from within Tiandi itself.
The spiritual energy of countless mountain ranges, ancient springs beneath the seas, and scattered starlight from the sky all converged at this moment, transforming into a towering blaze of tribulation that engulfed Nan Hua.
All living beings watched as though Tiandi itself were burning to ash.
The entire Immortal Realm bore witness to this moment. The myriad phenomena of Tiandi had already begun reflecting the magnificent sight of ascension in the Heavenly Deficiency Southern Land.
All who possessed a Dao Heart were shaken to the core.
The secluded abodes of countless ancient beings opened of their own accord. Billions upon billions of living beings, regardless of cultivation, felt their hearts tremble, as though a single thought of theirs had been stirred and formed some mysterious connection with the being transforming into heaven.
That was the Heavenly Heart—resonating with spiritual hearts.
Three Thousand Immortal Domains.
"Who is proving the Dao again?!"
"What outrageous nonsense!!"
"Why has not a single one emerged from our Three Thousand Immortal Domains, while these native beings of the Immortal Realm prove the Dao to become True Immortals time and again?"
"Do you still not know? The fortune of our Three Thousand Immortal Domains was destroyed in the Sui Gu era. Today's outcome was destined long ago."
"Was it not the Five-Elements Dao Ancestor who single-handedly created this era?"
"Our Three Thousand Immortal Domains have always been suppressed by Tiandi. We are pioneers of the Great Dao, sages of the Immortal Dao, yet in the end, we lack that sliver of fortune, that thread of opportunity. Of the fifty derivations of heaven, one escapes; the one who grasps it is the Five-Elements Dao Ancestor."
"How infuriating...!"
