However, when they saw the suffering endured by that figure, they instantly dismissed the thought. The pain of having one’s flesh destroyed by the thunderous tribulation is not something ordinary people can withstand, yet that figure endured it.

Of course, not every cultivator can or is willing to withstand such painful torture, yet their eyes still have a glimmer of endless greed. After all, it is the legacy of the Creator Empress. Besides the "Thunder Tribulation Body Refining Technique," there must be extremely terrifying legacy.

At this moment, at the peak of the Heaven-Reaching Road.

The Power of Rule and Order and thunderous tribulation have been visibly weakening.

Evidently, the Daluo Daoist Lineage of the Daluo Sacred Race has sheltered that figure, dissolving more than ninety percent of the Blade of Rules and Spear of Order.

Within the world-ending thunderous tribulation, Ye Xiaofan, having once again condensed his flesh through the "Thunder Tribulation Body Refining Technique," stands quietly atop the peak of ten thousand feet high, receiving the endless baptism of thunder. However, the tribulation is clearly unable to cause him much damage anymore, even when penetrating his body, it fails to inflict fatal harm.

Indeed, with his physical strength, Ye Xiaofan has successfully crossed the tribulation, but compared to a normal crossing, he endured it with his flesh.

Standing quietly in the midst of the Heaven-Reaching Road’s thunderous tribulation, Ye Xiaofan is remarkably calm. After taking out another set of Divine Sword Sect attire from his Space Ring and putting it on, he slowly gazed at the Cangqiong Peak.

There, a faint figure that only he can see silently observes everything here.

As Ye Xiaofan gazed at the figure, the figure also gazed at him.

But after a short moment of eye contact, that terrifying virtual shadow slowly vanished at the peak of the Heaven-Reaching Road, eventually dissipating into nothingness as if it never appeared.

Intuition told Ye Xiaofan that his actions attracted the figure’s scrutiny, appearing silently and retreating silently. There might be two possibilities: either he hasn’t yet posed a threat to the figure, or he hasn’t yet caught the figure’s attention.

Though not knowing what that awe-inspiring virtual shadow was, intuition told Ye Xiaofan that the "Hundred Sects Battle Domain" is definitely not as simple as the outside world perceives. There’s a sense of eeriness everywhere here, perhaps forces beyond his understanding are at play.

There’s an "omniscient perspective" silently observing everything here.

As the ancient virtual shadow from an endless age disappears, Ye Xiaofan also senses the retreat of the thunder tribulation.

At this moment, the tribulation at the peak of the Heaven-Reaching Road has weakened considerably, seemingly acknowledging that it can’t cause substantial harm to that figure anymore, gradually dissipating into the Heaven’s Mark, with the boundless heavenly might also slowly fading.

Gazing at the gradually retreating thunder tribulation, Ye Xiaofan slightly breathed a sigh of relief, the once calm look in his eyes now showed waves of fear.

The kind of pain that nearly suffocated him seconds earlier, almost causing him to lose consciousness, if he lost consciousness during the thunder tribulation, what awaited him would be eternal damnation.

"What a terrifying body refining technique, is this the path you once walked?"

Ye Xiaofan murmured to himself, and this was merely his first time invoking the Thunder Tribulation Body Refinement, considered the weakest baptism of heavenly might within a tribulation, and even the weakest tribulation almost overwhelmed him, let alone a stronger one.

It’s hard to imagine how the Creator Empress managed to persist on this path back then; truly deserving to be a generation-defining Creator Empress, her cultivation methods were unprecedented.

Strictly speaking, the thunder tribulation Ye Xiaofan experienced this time can’t even be considered a real thunder tribulation in essence; the true thunder tribulation during an actual cultivator’s transcendence is far more terrifying and grand, that is the genuine celestial tribulation.

This time’s tribulation was merely a response from the heavens, sensed and triggered, incomparable to the real cultivator’s thunder tribulation.

Yet, just from this ’triggered’ thunder tribulation, Ye Xiaofan began to entertain thoughts of abandoning the Thunder Tribulation Body Refining Technique.

While utilizing the lightning for body refining earlier, numerous times he nearly truly ended up dead and annihilated, the kind of pain from the flesh being slowly destroyed was unimaginable for humans, extremely hard to endure. If not for undergoing countless herb bath baptisms in the Divine Sword Sect, far exceeding the pain tolerance of ordinary people, Ye Xiaofan even doubts whether he could have endured it.

However, upon sensing the changes in his flesh after undergoing one thunder tribulation refinement, the wavering in Ye Xiaofan’s heart instantly became unyielding again.

To obtain a strong and formidable physique, the Creator Empress’s path of body refinement is undoubtedly an ancient and unparalleled heaven-defying technique. Abandoning it would be akin to missing out on an unrivaled opportunity.

Gradually, Ye Xiaofan’s determination towards body refining solidified even more. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Meanwhile.

Countless unique entities quietly watched Ye Xiaofan standing in the void, each panting heavily, their hearts unknown in thought.

Until a certain moment, Luo Qingxian’s voice echoed, bringing everyone, including Ye Xiaofan, back to attention.

"Junior Brother Ye, shape your True Self."

Upon this declaration, countless terrifying figures then realized that the Power of Rule and Order and thunderous tribulation at the peak of the Heaven-Reaching Road, despite nearly dissipating, was not peaceful.

Atop the ten thousand feet high peak, the vast Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi continued to surge, resembling torrents gathering from all directions, then being refined into continuous True Self Power flowing into the golden Spiritual Essence mirrored at the peak of the Profound Sea.
