Mysterious Talisman Palace.

A white-robed elder with the white hair of a crane but the youthful face of a child was in meditation when he suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were not clouded by the vicissitudes of time, but were instead perfectly clear.

His Origin Soul left his body like a wisp of light smoke, gazing toward the border between the Southern Wastelands and the Western Regions.

The Tribulation Cloud spanned four hundred li, and the Laws of Heaven and Earth hummed in unison.

It was clear that someone was undergoing a Tribulation Crossing to become a god.

"Palace Master!"

Two enormous human faces appeared in the sky above the Mysterious Talisman Palace. Upon seeing the white-robed elder's Origin Soul, they called out respectfully.

"Palace Master, the heavenly might is so immense. Could it be a Heaven-Defying Genius?" one of the wrinkled old faces asked.

"We will know once we take a look."

The Palace Master of the Mysterious Talisman Palace said indifferently, "It has been a long time since a new god was born in the Southern Wastelands. For this to happen in such a remote place, it is highly likely that a Secret Realm has emerged."

"Junior Brothers Xuanjing and Xuanfeng, the two of you shall go. If the situation is favorable, bring that Secret Realm under the banner of our Mysterious Talisman Palace."

"As you command."

The two faces vanished from the void.

...

Mortal World Demon Sect.

A child with her hair in pigtails, dressed in red, with delicate, youthful features, was catching fish in a pond. When the lightning tribulation began, she immediately put down her fish basket and gazed at the horizon.

"Someone, attend me."

The pigtail-wearing girl's voice was childish, but in an instant, it was as if she had become a different person. No longer a playful child, she was more like a seasoned superior who had weathered many storms.

"Your subordinate is here."

A dark shadow writhed in the void, slowly coalescing into a human form.

"Investigate."

"Yes."

The dark shadow vanished, and the little girl went back to catching fish.

...

Heavenly Demon Hall.

A golden-robed elder sat on a high seat. His gaze was gloomy, his aura sinister and wicked, and his entire being emanated a dense Demonic Qi.

The golden-robed elder stared down the steps at a young man dressed in fine brocade.

"After so many years, someone in the Southern Wastelands is becoming a god again."

The golden-robed elder's voice was hoarse, like fingernails scraping across a coffin lid—extremely grating to the ear.

"Wudao, you have been stuck at the Divine Tribulation Realm Perfection for quite some time now."

The golden-robed elder looked toward the site of the Heavenly Tribulation. "That place borders the Western Regions. It is not a place where one can become a god. There must be something strange afoot."

"You should make a trip there. Perhaps you will gain something from it."

"Yes, Foster Father."

The brocade-robed youth was handsome and elegant, with a face like polished jade. However, his expression was cold and impassive, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

"Wudao."

Just as the brocade-robed youth was about to leave the hall, the golden-robed elder's voice drifted over, faint and eerie. "All my hopes rest on you. The future of the Heavenly Demon Hall also rests on your shoulders alone."

"You must become a god as soon as possible. Do not disappoint your father's expectations."

With his back to the golden-robed elder, a cold sneer touched the corners of the brocade-robed youth's lips. He nodded and said, "Wudao will certainly not fail to live up to Foster Father's nurturing."

...

When the Heavenly Tribulation appeared, nearly all the Heavenly Gods in the Southern Wastelands sensed it at the first possible moment.

Moreover, the Heavenly Tribulation was exceedingly powerful and its heavenly might immense, so much so that all the major sects dispatched their experts. The once-calm Southern Wastelands was once again roiling with undercurrents.

...

Kunlun Valley.

The first bolt of Destruction Divine Lightning descended. Qin Haishan and Qi Qingsi both activated their Sub-Divine Weapons to resist it.

BOOM!

The two were struck by the divine lightning. Qin Haishan's body was charred black, and the aroma of cooked flesh filled the air. He was almost roasted alive.

Qi Qingsi pushed her Purple Dragon Armor to its limit. A Purple Divine Dragon roared at the heavens and earth, clashing head-on with the Destruction Divine Lightning, and actually managed to swallow it in one gulp.

Cracks appeared on one Dragon Scale after another.

Qi Qingsi's delicate brows furrowed. The very first bolt of Destruction Divine Lightning had already pushed the Purple Dragon Armor to its breaking point. There were still two more bolts of heavenly tribulation to come; how much more powerful would they be?

RUMBLE!

While she was lost in thought, the second bolt of Destruction Divine Lightning was already brewing.

CRACK!

After only a few breaths, the vast Tribulation Cloud shrank once more. Terrifying energy condensed into the second bolt of Destruction Divine Lightning, a full ten li wide, as it blasted downward.

"Heaven and Earth are boundless, the universe returns to one."

Qin Haishan roared, pushing the Three-Legged Cauldron to its absolute limit. The Sun, Moon, and Stars materialized, and mountains and rivers crisscrossed, seemingly forming another world.

Qi Qingsi also activated her Bronze Umbrella.

On the Bronze Umbrella, one Divine Rune after another manifested, forming layer upon layer of Barriers. There were a full thirty-six layers, stacked one on top of the other like the folds of an umbrella.

BOOM!

The second bolt of Destruction Divine Lightning fell.

The Sun and Moon crumbled; the mountains and rivers shattered.

The thirty-six layers of Barriers were also continuously destroyed.

Qin Haishan suffered a grievous blow. The Destruction Divine Lightning struck him, and the Destruction Law invaded his physical body, beginning to frantically grind away his Law Divine Runes.

"No..."

Qin Haishan panicked. These were the foundation of his godhood! If they were obliterated, all his efforts would be for naught.

He frantically mobilized his Magic Power to suppress the power of the Destruction Law.

Qi Qingsi's condition, compared to Qin Haishan's, was like heaven and earth.

The second bolt of Destruction Divine Lightning had barely managed to shatter the thirty-six Barriers. The Bronze Umbrella grew dim and lusterless, then suddenly disintegrated. A Sub-Divine Weapon was utterly reduced to scrap.

However, Qi Qingsi was still in her peak condition.

Qi Qingsi shot Qin Haishan a cold glance, her expression icy.

Qin Haishan would not survive the third bolt of lightning.

It seemed she wouldn't even have to act; Qin Haishan would die under the lightning tribulation.

"Qi Qingsi, you madwoman! You jinx! If it weren't for you, the Heavenly Tribulation's power would never have reached this level! I hate you! I hate you!"

Qin Haishan's hair was disheveled, and he looked like a madman.

RUMBLE!

The third bolt of Destruction Divine Lightning erupted.

The Tribulation Cloud devoured the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and merged with the Destruction Law, transforming into a bolt of divine lightning a full thirty li wide. Wherever it passed, the void collapsed, and Kunlun Valley itself trembled.

The Sea of Clouds in the void was completely annihilated.

"Jinx! Jinx!"

Amidst Qin Haishan's unwilling roars, the third bolt of divine lightning descended. All the Divine Runes on the Three-Legged Cauldron were obliterated, and Qin Haishan's treasured armor turned to dust.

"Ahhh..."

Qin Haishan let out a bloodcurdling scream as his entire body was vaporized into ash by the divine lightning.

"Supreme Heartless Seal!"

Qi Qingsi activated the great seal in her palm, unleashing her Divine Ability.

At that moment, she imprinted her own heart upon the heart of heaven. The great seal in her hand transformed into a domain, a world of its own, to meet the third bolt of divine lightning head-on.

*Pfft!*

But the terrifying power of the Heavenly Tribulation still pierced through Qi Qingsi's Divine Ability and slammed into her.

CRACK!

The Purple Divine Dragon manifested, its divine might circulating to resist the Heavenly Tribulation.

One Dragon Scale after another cracked, and the Purple Divine Dragon's phantom grew dimmer and dimmer until it was completely obliterated.

The Purple Dragon Armor dissolved into a wisp of purple smoke.

Qi Qingsi let out a sharp cry, and the Divine Runes on the great seal erupted with power.

She activated the Supreme Chapter of Emotionless Dao. The Law Divine Runes branded into her body manifested and completely merged with the great seal, achieving a state of unity between person and weapon.

A vast, devouring force emanated from the great seal, and it actually began to consume the Destruction Divine Lightning.

She not only wanted to pass the Heavenly Tribulation, but also to use the Destruction Divine Lightning to temper her Natal Magic Treasure and advance it into a Divine Weapon.

*Pfft!*

As the Destruction Divine Lightning was devoured by the seal, one Divine Rune after another was obliterated. Qi Qingsi's mind suffered a heavy blow, and crimson blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

Her expression was listless, and her black hair was in disarray.

The Tribulation Cloud in the sky had already dispersed, meaning she had successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation.

She was now a Heavenly God.

With a period of recuperation, she would be able to return to her peak.

Qi Qingsi withdrew the Heavenly Heart Divine Seal into her Purple Mansion. She glanced at the Great Five Elements Sword Array enveloping Kunlun Valley, a trace of hesitation appearing on her face.

This sword array was a Divine-Grade Killing Array.

Once refined and controlled, it would become another trump card.

Furthermore, the ruins of the Kunlun Sect still contained its cultivation manuals and secret texts. As a former powerhouse, its collection of techniques was naturally a precious treasure.

"Such a huge commotion will surely have attracted the attention of the various sects in the Southern Wastelands. I should not linger here."

After some thought, Qi Qingsi decided to leave.

The great array was merely icing on the cake.

What she needed to do now was stabilize her realm.

Otherwise, if she allowed the Destruction Law to continue wreaking havoc in her body, it could very well damage her foundation, and she could fall from the Heavenly God Realm at any moment.

Qi Qingsi flew out of Kunlun Valley and disappeared into the Sea of Clouds on the horizon.
