Countless extraordinary beings stared dumbfounded at this scene, their hearts filled with dread.

One must understand, this was the Thunder Tribulation, the divine might and Celestial Thunder. Even a powerful being crossing the tribulation must fully respond, mustering all their strength to form a defense before the thunder falls.

Yet, the figure facing the Thunder Tribulation stood motionless at this moment, silently observing the terrifying thunder crashing down.

As the column-like thickness of thunder traversed Heaven and Earth, the Blade of Rules and Spear of Order formed by the Power of Rule and Order fell simultaneously. However, the Power of the Great Dao, condensed by the Daluo Daoist Lineage, spontaneously rose to meet it, fiercely defying the heavens, colliding with the might of the Power of Rule and Order.

Boom—!!!

Instantaneously, the terrifying forces at the peak of the Heaven-Reaching Road consumed the void, refining everything in the world. The collision of these non-human powers caused the void in the celestial sky to collapse completely, revealing true space cracks, resembling abyssal voids that made one’s scalp tingle.

Regarding the Power of Rule and Order, Ye Xiaofan did not worry excessively. Even with only the cultivation at the peak of the Spiritual Essence Realm, one could sense how fearsome the Power of the Great Dao from the Daluo Daoist Lineage was. At least, resisting that Power of Rule and Order wasn’t a problem.

Of course, the main reason was Ye Xiaofan’s current cultivation wasn’t heaven-defying. Even if the Power of Rule and Order sought to obliterate him, it wouldn’t be overwhelmingly strong. The heavens possess benevolence and wouldn’t kill outright, always leaving cultivators a chance for survival.

However, even so, cultivators who survive under the obliteration of Thunder Tribulation and Power of Rule and Order are few and far between, truly one in ten thousand.

Though the Daluo Sacred Race’s lineage resolved the crisis of the Power of Rule and Order for Ye Xiaofan, it couldn’t withstand the rolling thunder. The two are entirely different in nature; no matter how terrifying the sacred lineage is, it can’t withstand the calamity of divine might.

This is akin to the myriad paths, the Great Dao walked by the Great Emperor; very few can contend with the Three Thousand Original Dao. Not to mention, the Thunder Tribulation is formed by the Heavenly Dao, the Daluo Daoist Lineage before the Thunder Tribulation is akin to being useless, unless the Great Emperor appears, perhaps there could be a sliver of resistance.

Of course, nothing is absolute. Some extremely terrifying New Life Dao walked by the Great Emperor, even the Three Thousand Original Dao may not completely overwhelm.

Yet the current Ye Xiaofan is far lesser than a Great Emperor, and all he can do now is to fully respond to the Thunder Tribulation.

"Junior Brother Ye, quickly defend!"

Watching the thunder already descend and pass through the protection of the Daluo Daoist Lineage, even Luo Qingxian couldn’t help but softly remind.

Though no one here has experienced the Thunder Tribulation, its fame precedes it. The thunder is the power of the sun’s might, divine celestial power. Even ordinary lightning possesses destructive power; a mere cultivator is utterly insignificant in the face of Thunder Tribulation, let alone the thunder now descending as a cultivator’s crossing tribulation.

Yet in the face of Luo Qingxian’s reminder, Ye Xiaofan seemed not to hear, his mind filled with the Creator Empress’s "Thunder Tribulation Body Refining Technique," part of the "Three Thousand Body Refining Techniques." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Everyone, including Li Mofeng, Jian Wushuang, and others, stared at that seemingly dazed figure, frozen on the spot.

"Lost it, he’s definitely scared witless."

"Hahaha, if the Thunder Tribulation turns him to ashes, it’ll save me the trouble of taking action later."

A True Self Realm prodigy of the Divine Maiden Sect looked on gleefully, talent does not equate to intelligence, some truly fantasized at that moment about the figure being obliterated by the Thunder Tribulation.

Of course, the prodigies present aren’t genuinely lacking intelligence; their remarks are more reflective of an inner hope rather than belief that the person will fall helplessly to the Thunder Tribulation.

Just as everyone felt parched and dry.

Boom—!!!

The extraordinary thunder instantly enveloped, in the blink of an eye swallowing that figure, the terrifying thunderous might sent shivers down everyone’s spine, the chill reaching the depths of their being.

In the void.

As the thunder engulfed Ye Xiaofan, he nearly emptied his mind, continuing to madly operate "Devouring the Azure Technique," sending Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in lotuses to the Spiritual Essence, transporting oceanic True Self Power, yet did not activate his strength to resist the Thunder Tribulation, instead, confronting it with his flesh.

As the Thunder Tribulation swallowed him, Ye Xiaofan felt indescribable agony, his body seemingly shattered completely in an instant, his organs disintegrating.

The pain was far more intense than all he had experienced before by billions of times.

When the Thunder Tribulation struck, he could clearly see his skin split open, his entire body instantly charred, flesh rapidly disintegrating, blood and flesh blurred.

The piercing pain made him involuntarily tremble, his arms stretching out as he roared towards the sky.

"Ugh—ah—!!!"

A series of mournful roars echoed through the Heaven-Reaching Road, everyone watching was left with goosebumps, hairs standing on end.

As time ticked by, the figure within the thunder emitted increasingly agonizing cries, the physical body visibly destroyed by the thunderous might, rapidly collapsing, breaking apart.

The immense pain, beyond human endurance, even distant prodigies felt aching viewing from afar, reality was Ye Xiaofan at the heart of the Thunder Tribulation enduring tremendous torment, his agony nearly causing him to lose consciousness.
