Liu Bai endured the Heavenly Venerate Tribulation, using its lightning to cultivate a Thunder Lotus Seed before being erased by the fifth tribulation. As the Five Elements Spirit Talisman gathered chaotic power and began restoring him, Devil Emperors watched from beyond the Sacred Abyss Continent and waited for an opportunity to act.
