Success

Shen Ge was completely desperate. In the Ghost Gate Pass, his eyes were tightly closed, and all the illusory ghostly energy around him swirled like a storm.

In an instant, a giant black hand emerged from the Ghost Gate Pass. With a gentle wave, the scattered black energy around it transformed into a long sword in its hand.

"Cut!"

A majestic, domineering, and boundless voice rang out from the Ghost Gate Pass, and then the giant hand holding a long sword slashed down.

The Thunder Dragon snapped the last two chains, then roared and swung its tail at the giant sword, the terrifying lightning seeming to illuminate the heavens and earth.

The moment the giant sword made contact with the dragon's tail, the entire world suddenly fell silent. Then, an indescribable storm spread out, its terrifying power even scattering the five-hundred-mile-long tribulation clouds.

At this moment, the thunder dragon finally revealed its full form. Its body, about fifty miles long, was covered with flashes of purple and blue lightning, making it look truly majestic.

"Roar~"

The Thunder Dragon let out a silent roar, seemingly in anger, because a section of its tail had been cut off.

On the Ghost Gate Pass, Shen Ge's face looked like that of a corpse that had been dead for ten days, and blood was seeping from every pore of his body, making him look extremely terrifying.

"Come on, again!"

Shen Ge roared, then continued to Hand Seals. Outside, the giant hand dispersed the black sword, raised its hand and gently pressed down. Instantly, a Yin-Yang Millstone carrying endless destructive aura blasted towards the thunder dragon.

At this moment, the Thunder Dragon was enraged. It swung its body violently and crashed directly into the object, accompanied by endless lightning. At this moment, it seemed to be the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao.

Below, the white-haired old man grabbed Li Xue and disappeared from that hilltop, reappearing in the blink of an eye on a more distant hilltop. He looked at the attack from both sides with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Venerable One, did you sense it? Just now, that thunder dragon seemed to have gained an extremely mysterious aura. Although it only appeared for a moment, I should be right."

"Don't overthink it," Xu Wei warned, her tone calm but her warning was sincere.

The white-haired old man's expression darkened slightly, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Li Xue, on the other hand, had been filled with worry the whole time, especially about this attack. If it weren't for the fact that the heavenly tribulation didn't allow anyone to help, she would have wanted her master to take action and destroy that lightning dragon.

"Boom~"

In an instant, the entire world was filled with white light, and everyone below the Nascent Soul Late Stage went blind, their eyes filled only with that white light.

A few breaths later, the white light slowly dissipated. Some people blinked, eager to see the final result, but for a moment they were all a little dizzy.

"Hey, a small black dot fell down, and it's emitting black smoke. Could it be that the person undergoing Tribulation Transcendence was blasted into charcoal?"

"What? Is that really true?"

"It's only right, it's only right! This tribulation lightning is leaving absolutely no way out. It's almost at the mid-stage of the Spirit Severing Middle Stage realm! This isn't Tribulation Transcendence, it's clearly divine punishment, a punishment from heaven!"

"I also think this person's tribulation lightning is ridiculously strong. I've witnessed other seniors Tribulation Transcendence before, but their Spirit Severing Lightning Tribulation didn't even have half the power of this."

"What a pity, such a gifted talent was killed off by the heavens. What a shame."

The crowd watching the ceremony was noisy and chattering, mostly discussing how powerful the tribulation was or expressing regret for the person Tribulation Transcendence it.

As for sarcastic remarks, there's no fool who wouldn't see through them.

Li Xue spotted Shen Ge falling from the sky immediately. She swiftly moved forward and caught Shen Ge. As soon as she got close, she sensed that Shen Ge was still alive, although he was severely injured.

After all, as long as you're alive, the wound will eventually heal.

"Shen Ge, wake up, can you still hear me?" Li Xue called out anxiously.

"Alright, that kid is badly injured. He fought to the death against the lightning dragon formed from the heavenly tribulation, which was already a life-or-death battle. Don't bother him anymore."

"Take him with you, let's go."

Li Xue quickly took Shen Ge back to the hilltop where the formation had been set up, and then immediately activated the formation to take Shen Ge away from there.

The white-haired old man watched this scene without saying a word. Although he wanted to ask the young man some questions, since Venerable Xu had spoken, he, as a junior, dared not disobey.

In Azure Origin City, Venerable Thunder Sea stood at the highest point of the city lord's mansion, gazing in the direction from which the thunder had roared earlier, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Strange, truly strange. Why is that kid's Cultivation Method so bizarre? I've never seen such a strange Cultivation Method before."

"The Ghost Gate Pass, could there really be such Land of the Netherworld? Could there really be Samsara?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Samsara is nothing but a comforting fantasy. When a person dies, they are dead. Even if they are lucky enough to become a ghost, they will never be Samsara."

"Venerable Reincarnation, you didn't orchestrate this kid, did you? Could it be that you've found the answer to your quest for that path?"

"Old monster... why bother? You could have Tribulation Transcendence and ascended to the Immortal Realm long ago, why cling to the mortal world?"

In Azure Origin City, anyone whose cultivation has reached the Body Integration Realm has witnessed this Tribulation Transcendence. Some are curious, some are puzzled, and some are indifferent.

After all, people who have reached this level are no longer attracted by so-called cultivation techniques and Cultivation Method Law Treasure; what they want is an understanding of the heavens and the earth, and an understanding of all things.

Of course, they would be somewhat interested if a celestial-grade Cultivation Method were to appear in the world.

Inside a restaurant room in Azure Origin City, a woman leaned lazily against the window, exuding a natural charm. Even though her expression was somewhat melancholy, it did not diminish her allure.

This person was Bai Lili, who came from the Mechanical City.

Although her Divine Sense couldn't reach that far, she sensed the aura belonging to Samsara, an aura that shared the same origin as her. That aura was like tempting honey, constantly drawing her closer.

"Shen Ge, oh Shen Ge, I never expected to run into you here." Bai Lili's brows slowly relaxed, and a bright and charming smile slowly appeared on her lips, "I really look forward to the day we meet again. I wonder how you will treat me?"

"Should I hit him? Should I scold him? Or...?"

Thinking of this, Bai Lili's smile suddenly turned somewhat gloomy, as an unpleasant memory resurfaced in her mind.

"What a pity, we shouldn't have thrown that seed away, otherwise..."

Bai Lili chuckled a few more times, then lazily stretched, her graceful figure appearing and disappearing, truly captivating.

There's a saying that goes something like this: light gives shape to everything that is invisible.

However, no one can appreciate this beautiful scenery.

"Shen Ge, wait for me, I'll come find you again."

"I lost last time, but you can't win this time. You absolutely can't win."

"I will avenge you for the humiliation you suffered last time. This time, it's your turn to wail beneath me."
