The thunderclouds churned ceaselessly, like a vast, conscious face lurking above the heavens, watching with boundless indifference as the young man in flowing white robes stood in the void, intent on defying heaven.
The hundreds of powerful figures from across the world present all fixed their undivided attention on Su Mo. Even those from the Cloud and Thunder Sects, who had come with murderous intent, put away the disdain in their eyes.
Beneath that head of white hair was a proud, unyielding will as he raised his head and looked straight at the heavens...
"Perhaps defying heaven really is impossible..." Covered in blood, Su Mo smiled.
Wind and rain lashed him, sending droplets of bloody water flying from his white robes and white hair.
"But I still want to try. I have no other choice, either..."
Su Mo spread his arms once more, his blood-red figure seeming to have come from the depths of purgatory.
"Spirit Transformation!" Su Mo roared, charging toward Spirit Transformation once more.
Two streams of Dao power at Nascent Soul perfection, bearing Su Mo's stubborn resolve, crossed into the Spirit Transformation realm again...
Boom!
The Thunder Tribulation's roar resounded through heaven and earth, descending from the sky with a dazzling, heart-stopping white light. That white light blazed across the world, as though proclaiming its authority, telling all people that heaven could not be defied!
Mountains and rivers trembled. Birds and beasts fell silent.
The white light flashed across everyone's vision and struck the young man in flowing white robes. With the force to destroy heaven and earth, it blasted a spreading mist of blood from his body.
The Thunder Tribulation struck the ground, and Su Mo knelt in the void...
Even his mighty Divine Race body could not endure through Spirit Transformation beneath the heavenly tribulation.
