Protagonist:

Jiang Xuan

In the blink of an eye, amidst the countless layers of the Sea of Thunder, a passage suddenly appeared, exuding an extremely terrifying aura, leading straight to the Immortal King Tribulation.

At that moment, the entire universe seemed to have its soul stripped away; everyone realized that everything around them had become empty and void, and the omnipresent, ever-suppressing power of the Ten Thousand Daos had completely disappeared.

It felt as if the foundation of the universe had been thoroughly shaken, and all things had fallen into an unprecedented chaos and void, as if the entire universe had suffered a calamity and been completely "ruined."

Jiang Xuan stood proudly, his aura majestic; he strode forward along the Sea of Thunder passage, advancing steadily toward the Nine Heavens, each step exuding an aura of supreme dominance.

"Boom!", "Clang!", "Hum!"...

In an instant, the rolling thunder surged to both sides.

However, only the calamity transformed from the Undying Divine Medicine continued to rage. Suddenly, the many human faces behind the Undying Divine Medicine spat out Immortal Light; dozens of brilliant Immortal Lights quickly converged in the void, merging into a terrifying light called immortal, carrying the momentum of destroying heaven and earth, rushing toward Jiang Xuan.

This immortal light was undoubtedly the most terrifying Great Tribulation, containing the most primordial power of the universe.

The Great Emperor of the Wasteland once relied on these Immortal Dao Laws to complete the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"I have long comprehended most of the Dao; these things pose no threat to me!"

Jiang Xuan's gaze was like a torch as he stared at the surging immortal light; he waved his hand casually, a seemingly casual motion that contained endless power.

"Rumble!!"

At that very moment, half of the immortal light trembled violently and actually reversed direction, fiercely striking the other half of the uncontrolled immortal light.

In an instant, the sky shook violently, Immortal Light danced wildly across the heavens, and the ancient blue sky was illuminated brilliantly; however, this terrifying scene was merely the aftermath of the Immortal Light collision, and for Jiang Xuan, it could no longer cause any substantial impact.

Jiang Xuan's expression was calm as he cast the Vajra Ring Divine Ability. The Vajra Ring slowly rotated in the air, then suddenly turned, opening its mouth like a gluttonous giant beast, swallowing all the dancing Immortal Light in one gulp.

No tribulation number could stop Jiang Xuan's steps.

Jiang Xuan's silhouette flashed, instantly transforming into a brilliant beam of light, rushing straight toward the horizon.

This beam of light seemed to become the Overlord of the universe, the sole existence in the world.

Everyone looked up, trembling all over, their legs going weak.

That beam of light, with unstoppable force, pierced straight through the Immortal King Tribulation and continued to climb, competing in height with the vast universe.

"Ha Ha!"

Jiang Xuan's laughter echoed through the universe, confident and heroic.

"Emperor Jiang!" "Emperor Jiang!" "Emperor Jiang!"...

The myriad spirits of the universe were confused; Emperor Jiang had already surpassed the Great Emperor, so why was he still undergoing the Emperor Tribulation? But the myriad spirits remembered Jiang Xuan's great grace in sweeping away the Forbidden Zones.

The sound waves surged like mountains and seas, shaking the entire starry sky of the universe.

Everyone sensed something; amidst the Ten Thousand Daos, a towering figure seemed to slowly emerge. This figure stood between heaven and earth, trampling all rules beneath his feet.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan's own Emperor Tribulation descended with a boom.

Undergoing the Emperor Tribulation with Heavenly Emperor-level combat power—this was the first time since Pangu's Axe split heaven and earth.

This tribulation number was more violent and powerful than those seen before.

The terrifying aura swept across the starry sky in an instant, and all things trembled.

The lightning tribulation came wave after wave.

And the Undying Divine Medicine seemed to have evolved as well; it no longer merely manifested a mysterious face but transformed into lifelike human figures. Upon closer inspection, these were all former Immortal Kings of great renown.

Even such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation could not pose a substantial threat to Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan stood amidst the Immortal Light; under the baptism of the Immortal Light, his fleshly body and Primordial Spirit were undergoing a transformation of shedding the mortal body and exchanging bones, every inch of skin and every strand of soul evolving toward a higher level.

At the same time, many of his divine abilities were undergoing even more astonishing changes.

His divine abilities had already reached their limit before; now, under the catalysis of this most terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, all the Rules of the Great Dao contained within them seemed to converge like rivers into the sea, merging into one, and advancing toward a higher cultivation realm.

"My Immortal King Tribulation...!" The Golden Crow Great Emperor's expression changed drastically; he was terrified, his Immortal King Tribulation was dissipating.

His Dao no longer suppressed the Ten Thousand Daos.

The Emperor Tribulation raged like a violent storm.

After who knows how long of torment, the lightning tribulation gradually dissipated, revealing a clear universe.

"Hmm? The Immortal King Tribulation can be recondensed?" The Golden Crow Great Emperor's expression flickered uncertainly.

"Piercing through the Ten Thousand Daos!" Ye Fan exclaimed in admiration; he had been troubled by not knowing how to prove the Dao.

"I see, I see!"

At this moment, the already shattered Immortal King Tribulation, under his control, recondensed into form.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan clearly felt that he had already transcended the constraints of the Immortal King Tribulation and the Ten Thousand Daos.

He had truly achieved trampling the Ten Thousand Daos beneath his feet, standing at the pinnacle of the universe, supreme and dominant, becoming the undisputed Overlord of this universe.

Before, his combat power was at the Heavenly Emperor level; now, his cultivation realm had also completely surpassed that of a normal Great Emperor.

In this world, the Immortal King Tribulation is the condensation of the Rules of Heaven and Earth and the traces of the Ten Thousand Daos; it gathers everything, and whoever controls it controls this universe.

In the Primordial Era, the Immortal King Tribulation had another name—the Immortal King Foundation. Once fused, it laid the foundation for proving the Dao as an Immortal King. Although the current Immortal King Tribulation may not be as unmatched as when it was first condensed, its effect is still astonishing, greatly increasing the probability of a cultivator becoming an Immortal King.

This is the key difference between Ancient Great Emperors and Alternative Dao Proven.

If an Alternative Dao Proven fights a Great Emperor who has fused with the Immortal King Tribulation, it is no different from opposing the entire Heaven and Earth. For this reason, cultivators who prove the Dao through alternative means usually cannot match Ancient Great Emperors.

It can be said that the Immortal King Tribulation contains the most profound mysteries of Heaven and Earth. Ancient Great Emperors, before proving the Dao, believed the Great Dao was perfect and flawless; but after proving the Dao, they would revise their own scriptures. Only after obtaining the Immortal King Tribulation did their horizons open, allowing them to reexamine and discover their own shortcomings.

It can be said that the Immortal King Tribulation is the most crucial opportunity after becoming a Great Emperor, the most core and precious thing for a Great Emperor.

"Rumble!"

In an instant, the entire universe was filled with portents, shocking heaven and earth. Countless figures arrived one after another; they were the brands left by powerful figures of past generations, each powerful enough to inspire terror!

"Get out of here, head to the Universe Wasteland!!" Jiang Xuan suddenly rose to his feet, stepping out once, and in an instant time seemed to flow backward.

In the blink of an eye, he found himself amidst the Chaos Sea of the Universe Wasteland.

"What is going on?"

"Has the Heavenly Emperor pierced through the myriad Daos and survived the Emperor Tribulation?"

"I vaguely feel that some terrifying calamity is about to descend?" Ye Fan wore a serious expression; in this Tian Di, there indeed permeated a faint, unsettling sense of crisis.

"This is the Creation Tribulation. Any founding of a cultivation system cannot escape such a tribulation. As for the intensity of the tribulation, it depends on the strength level of the system being founded!!" Xia Yao Xi explained, her face full of worry.

Regarding this tribulation, Jiang Xuan had long since only told two women.

When Huang Tian Di founded the Zhetian Method, he underwent the Creation Tribulation.

The first time was when he first founded the Zhetian Method, the lightning tribulation lasted nine years; the second time was after he completely perfected the cultivation system and widely spread it, that lightning tribulation raged for a full hundred years.

Huang Tian Di's two Creation Tribulations both brought him great gains.

The first time, he used the lightning tribulation to reforge the foundation of the Zhetian Method, successfully ascending to the Extreme Dao Peak; the second time he benefited even more, laying a solid foundation for breaking through to the King Realm.

"I wonder how long this lightning tribulation of mine will last." Jiang Xuan felt both anxious and expectant in his heart.

"Creation Tribulation? There's actually such a thing?" Ye Fan, Sheng Huang Zi, Golden Crow Great Emperor and others heard this, their faces full of astonishment; such a marvel, they had never heard of before.

Just then, thunder exploded with a boom, as if Tian Di were collapsing and earth cracking.

Chaotic Qi burst forth in all directions, the suppression of the myriad Daos of Tian Di crashing down like Mount Tai pressing on the summit. This was no longer an ordinary lightning tribulation, but a terrifying Heavenly Punishment, and there were even blades seemingly originating from the Heavenly Lord, carrying the momentum of Destruction of Heaven and Earth as they descended.

"Boom!!"

Black Light lightning intertwined with each other, like a net of death. The Heavenly Lord's Blade transformed into crimson Blood Light, fiercely cleaving down. Whether the strange colors of the thunder or the Heavenly Lord's Blade radiating endless Killing Intent, both symbolized Destruction and Ominous.

This is the Creation Tribulation; because it is too heaven-defying, the things founded exceed imagination, thus drawing such a terrifying lightning tribulation.

The aura of the entire universe instantly became oppressive to the extreme, nearly suffocating. Even across endless distances, countless cultivators could clearly feel it, as if their Mind were being ruthlessly suppressed by a vast ocean.

In the Chaos Sea outside the Universe Wasteland, countless scenes like Pangu's Axe alternated in appearance, but more were terrifying tribulations permeated with the aura of blood and disaster.

Immense Heavenly Punishment shook the universe; Heaven's Prides slumbering in various places were all awakened by the thunder. In an instant, countless Figures burst from the earth, one by one breaking free from constraints within Divine Sources.

"What is this? A lightning tribulation more terrifying than the Di Jie?"

A Heaven's Pride had just extricated himself from a Divine Source, looking in shock at the chaotic Sea of Thunder in the Universe Wasteland.

"Could it be a Sheng Xian Tribulation? Is an immortal finally about to be born in the universe?" Another Heaven's Pride who had just broken his seal was equally full of shock.

In the Chaos Sea, Heavenly Punishment covered the sky and earth, surging down like a raging tide, shocking all things in the World. Those Heaven's Prides who had long dwelled in seals and were knowledgeable were now trembling all over in fear.

Yao Xi Xia Yao Xi, closest to Jiang Xuan, saw it clearly.

In that chaos, suffering the most violent Heavenly Punishment, blood water and bone fragments even flew out from time to time.

"This thunder is too terrifying, far exceeding the Di Jie! Could it really be an immortal tribulation?" Yao Xi was full of worry; such a lightning tribulation was too horrifying, its strong impact could be felt even across the Chaos Sea, and even the Di Jie could not have such astonishing power.

At this moment, deep in the Chaos Sea, Jiang Xuan pierced through the Heavenly Vault, standing proudly at the very center of the Sea of Thunder.

Heavenly Punishment covering the sky and earth, the Heavenly Lord's Blade carrying endless Killing Intent, surged toward him madly.

Vast thunder raged, chaotic Qi like fragile thin paper, easily torn apart; one Xiaoji after another was hastily opened in this violent power, but instantly suffered Destruction.

The scene beside Jiang Xuan could be called Terror to the extreme.

Destruction Power like a surging tsunami, wave after wave, unstoppable.

Even if true immortals from the Xian Gu Era personally arrived, facing such a scene, they would be Deeply Shocked.

This power was already enough to pose a Fatal Threat to true immortals.

Jiang Xuan showed no Fearless Color, radiance bursting around him, like a brilliant star, hundreds and thousands of divine abilities drifting up and down.

At the Universe Wasteland, those Heaven's Prides awakened by the thunder, hearing the news, rushed over. From Xia Yao Xi they roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

"The Heavenly Emperor is founding a brand new cultivation system?"

Everyone fell into silence. Their expressions constantly changed, their eyes full of Incredulous and amazement, finally turning into a heartfelt sigh: "Unprecedented!"

Everyone felt that their horizons were Thoroughly opened at this moment.

It turned out that in the world of cultivation, there was such a shocking feat as founding a brand new cultivation system. But following it was endless Pity.

From ancient times to the present, how many people could be fortunate enough to witness the entire process of this creation? Everyone understood in their hearts that to achieve this step, one's Insight into the Great Dao of Tian Di must have reached a brand new height that was Unprecedented.

"What a pity! Too much of a pity!!" Sheng Huang Zi's face was full of regret, beating his chest and stamping his feet. He had a deep friendship with Jiang Xuan and Ye Fan; if he had known this earlier, even if Thick-Skinned, he would definitely go see for himself.

"Xia Yao Xi probably gained quite a few Benefits."

Huo Lin Er's gaze flickered; the look in her eyes when looking at Yan Ruyu was full of apprehension. She keenly Perceived that the two women's Mu Guang had become much deeper, and their entire temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes.

She could clearly feel that the other party's Dao Attainment and magic power had made a qualitative leap compared to before.

The two stood not far from the Sea of Thunder; there must be a reason.

"Can this brand new cultivation system that was founded really allow people to cultivate and become immortals?"

As news of the Universe Wasteland gradually spread, the entire universe was shaken by it.

People from all places sighed and lamented.

"Simply too incredible! Is Jiang Tian Di going to open up a brand new Tian Di? In This Life, do we really have a chance to witness the birth of a true immortal?"

In the universe, countless people ignited the fire of hope in their hearts.

They earnestly hoped that Jiang Xuan could successfully open up a road to heaven leading to the Fairyland.

At this moment, all the unparalleled masters in the universe were Thoroughly Shocked. Huo Lin Er, Sheng Huang Zi and others all fell into long silence. The scene before their eyes Far Exceeded their imagination, making them deeply feel their own insignificance and triviality.

In the core of the Chaos Immortal Soil, extremely Hidden in the Universe Wasteland, a Figure stood quietly like a ghost.

His aura was restrained, integrated with this Chaos Immortal Soil, only revealing an Unprecedented Serious Expression.

His Gaze was sharp as a knife, piercing through layers of chaos, staring fixedly at the direction where Jiang Xuan and others were undergoing tribulation.

"Variable! This Damned Variable!"

This person cursed in his heart, full of anxiety, "In This Life, the situation is Afraid to reach Thorough Loss of Control."

He slightly Narrowed Eyes, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, "But if Jiang Xuan succeeds in this tribulation, it is extremely likely he will again become a Red Dust Immortal. By then, it will Afraid truly trigger Unprecedented Variables, and the situation will completely escape my control. I can no longer wait. Even if they ultimately fail to achieve Red Dust Immortal, the fortune they have obtained is already powerful enough. I must Immediately begin to Prepare."

Boom!

On the other side, the terrifying waves of Heavenly Punishment surged violently. Jiang Xuan and the others, in this world-annihilating tribulation, exerted full power and bitterly endured.

One thread after another of Heavenly Lord blades wrapped in supreme majesty, akin to Death's scythe, ruthlessly chopped down; every strike transformed into the most fatal killing tribulation.

Everyone found it difficult to imagine; the terror level of this Creation Method tribulation actually far surpassed any lightning tribulation they had previously experienced, even if all the lightning tribulations they had ever encountered were stacked together, compared with it they would pale in comparison.

The length of time this lightning tribulation persisted simply exceeded everyone's cognitive limits.

Not merely one or two days, nor a month or two of short-lived torment; this Creation Method tribulation actually rampaged for a full several years.

This completely defied common sense; all watching this place, the Heaven's Prides who broke out of the Divine Source, felt incomparable bewilderment, difficult to understand. Creation Method was actually this terrifying, simply forcing people into a dead end, not giving a sliver of survival path! Being continuously hacked by terrifying lightning that surpassed the Great Emperor Tribulation for several years, such terrible experience, just thinking about it makes one's hair stand on end.

Through layers of Chaos gaps, they vaguely glimpsed Jiang Xuan's body hacked until charred black all over.

That miserable scene, Pi Fu a Hell scroll painting. Blood Light splashed in all directions, dyeing Tian Di red.

Those occasional leaked fragmentary scenes from within the Chaos, their misery level, made everyone suck in a breath of cold air, Inner Heart filled with fear and shock. (Chapter End)
