Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing whispered four words: "Void Origin?"

Boom—

The first Heavenly Tribulation descended.

Dozens of void cracks appeared around him without warning, each like a black eye opened wide, gazing from nothingness at the person before him.

The moment the cracks appeared, star core fragments around him were pulled in by an invisible force, but were annihilated upon touching the edges, not even leaving residue.

Star core fragments that had undergone billions of years of birth, burning, collapse, and falling—hard enough that even a Yuan force blade could only leave a faint white mark—were as fragile as paper before the void cracks.

And the cracks were constantly closing in.

Dozens of cracks contracted simultaneously from all directions, leaving no blind spot.

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing was not the least bit panicked.

He did not even activate his passive Return to Origin defense, simply pushing his palm forward as the Heaven and Earth Furnace flew out from his Qi Sea, swelling against the storm.

From palm-sized it became a giant furnace three zhang tall, its body covered in the patterns of the Creation Law, its mouth aimed at the largest void crack, directly activating Swallowing!

Yes, correct.

It was actively swallowing.

That void crack swallowed three star core fragments each half a person tall, which then struck the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

The void energy inside the crack had not yet shown its might before being swallowed whole by the furnace's Swallowing Power.

Instantly, the furnace trembled violently.

The Creation patterns on the furnace wall suddenly lit up, primal fire jumped wildly inside the furnace, and began to forge the swallowed void crack.

Void energy is the opposite of law, an existence that negates all.

And what is the essence of the Heaven and Earth Furnace?

It is a supreme treasure of Creation that forges laws and tempers origins!

The power of negation met with smelting, two utterly opposite energies collided violently inside the furnace, emitting a series of ear-piercing sizzling sounds.

But the Heaven and Earth Furnace did not crack, did not shatter.

It stood steadily there, the light on its wall growing brighter and brighter.

From this it could be seen that it was not hard-resisting the void crack's attack, but treating the void crack as fuel.

With each collision, part of the void energy was stripped by primal fire, restored to the purest origin power, and poured into Xu Zhangqing's Qi Sea.

Void origin rapidly accumulated in quantity, quickly touching an internal threshold.

Deep in the Qi Sea, that part of the foundation led by the Chaos Deity began to change.

The deity was no longer merely a pure incarnation image, but was gradually carving out an independent virtualized region inside his body.

This region had no clear boundary and was unstable.

But as long as he successfully passed the tribulation, it could transform into a World Bubble that only a Refining Void Cultivator could possess.

Suddenly, Xu Zhangqing laughed.

He had been waiting for this moment.

Others' Refining Void Tribulation was hard-resisting the Thunder Tribulation with their own means, passively tempering.

But Xu Zhangqing was different.

He had the Heaven and Earth Furnace, and primal fire.

For others, passing tribulation was torment; for him, passing tribulation was cultivation.

And it was the fastest cultivation!

Using heavenly tribulation to cultivate, the efficiency was who knows how many times higher than normal cultivation.

And unexpectedly, the effect was so obvious.

Having swallowed only the first void crack, the World Bubble had already begun to form.

But everything had not ended; in fact, it had only just begun.

Dozens of void cracks were still contracting.

Xu Zhangqing drove the Heaven and Earth Furnace to sweep them one by one, swallowing all the approaching cracks into the furnace.

The furnace's tremors grew more and more violent; when it swallowed the eighth crack, the furnace's shaking caused even the Yuan Dao Foundation to tremble slightly.

But he could feel that after each crack was forged, the void origin became a bit richer.

And the richer the void origin inside his body, the more complete the World Bubble's contour.

When the last crack was swallowed, a fine pattern appeared on the Heaven and Earth Furnace's wall.

Of course, this was not a crack, but a law imprint left on the furnace body after the void energy was thoroughly refined.

This pattern would make its speed of absorbing void energy even faster in the future.

Boom boom boom!

The second Heavenly Tribulation followed close behind, giving no time to catch breath.

The place where the void cracks had just disappeared cracked open again.

This time the cracks were not dozens, but an entire expanse.

The whole region was torn open into a huge rift; behind the rift was not darkness, not void, but an abyss surging with endless thunder light.

Those thunder lights were not lightning naturally generated between heaven and earth, but forms spontaneously manifested by pure void energy after being highly compressed.

Named, Annihilation Thunderball!

One after another, pitch-black all over, their surfaces wreathed in dark purple electric arcs, the thunderballs slowly descended from the crack, like a breath of destruction vomited from the void.

Every single thunderball was rotating.

Their rotation speed was not fast, but with each revolution, the laws around them would peel off a layer.

And then turn into nothingness.

The edge of the Star Radiance Pillar was grazed by a thunderball, and the rotating star radiance was cut off piece by piece, neatly and evenly, from top to bottom.

The cut surface was smooth as a mirror, and soon disappeared completely clean.

The number of Annihilation Thunderballs finally stopped at nine.

Each one was millstone-sized, distributed above Xu Zhangqing's head in a Nine Palaces Grid formation, and then fell downward.

Their speed was very slow, but slow was not their weakness.

Any defense, any technique, any barrier, in front of these Annihilation Thunderballs, would be directly eliminated.

Cannot block, can only die!

However, Xu Zhangqing was waiting precisely for them.

He formed hand seals with both hands, his Yuan Dao Foundation operating at full force.

Creation, Order, Termination simultaneously drawn out, intertwining above his head into a three-colored vortex.

Cyan represented Creation, gold represented Order, black represented Termination; they bit into each other, forming a closed loop.

However, Xu Zhangqing did not use the three-colored vortex to block the Annihilation Thunderballs.

Instead he sent the three-colored vortex into the interior of the Heaven and Earth Furnace, then controlled the entire furnace, aiming the furnace mouth at one of the thunderballs.

Correct, he still wanted to devour!

Dong!

When the first Annihilation Thunderball was swallowed into the furnace, the entire furnace body emitted a sound muffled to the extreme.

It was neither the crisp sound of metal colliding, nor the shattering of an object unable to withstand the strain, but the low, muffled rumble of different systems forced to fuse in an extremely small space.

The Yuan Fire jumped wildly inside the furnace, its property of specifically burning laws stimulated to the utmost at this moment.

The Annihilation Thunderball could turn all laws into nothingness, while the Yuan Fire burned the laws themselves.

One eliminated laws, one burned laws.

The two, inside the furnace, unfolded an extremely tragic struggle.

Return to Origin rapidly circulated in Xu Zhangqing's body, completely dismantling and diverting all residual impact force conducted from the furnace, finally sending it into the Gui Xu in his palm.

Therefore, under these circumstances his Yuan Dao Foundation not only did not suffer destruction, but was instead being tempered bit by bit in this struggle.

With every wisp of Annihilation Thunderball energy the Yuan Fire devoured, the foundation condensed and solidified by one degree.

The contour of the World Bubble, from blurry became clear, from clear became concrete.

Even to the later stage, Xu Zhangqing could feel that in the depths of his consciousness sea, an independent space was being born!
