Li Che mastered a strand of Primordial Wood Tribulation, forming it into a black bean seed and integrating it into his Blood Tears Divine Phoenix Life and Death Arrow, evolving it into the Immortal Seed·Blood-Weeping Immortal Phoenix Withering Glory Arrow. Resisting divine temptations in Qi Tian Inner City, he absorbed pure Essence Qi while martial artists from across the realms gathered outside for the Earthly Ghost Emperor's imminent breakthrough to Martial Immortal, whispers of sabotage by rival forces like the All Gods Camp spreading. Under the rising moon, the Temple God appeared atop the Inner City tower, and Li Che, as the Earthly Ghost Emperor, stepped beyond Qi Tian City's gates, his Qi-Blood surging wildly as the moon turned blood red.

High in the sky, the moonlight resembled a plate!

Bathed in the endless, powerful qi-blood, the moon's light shifted to a deep blood-red hue.

Yet gradually, that crimson hue morphed into a stunning golden brilliance, golden rays expanding outward to drench the whole world in glorious golden splendor.

Both within and beyond Qi Tian City...

A huge crowd assembled, chiefly warriors hailing from every region, their qi-blood surging powerfully, fists gripped tight, eyes fixed on the horizon.

Anticipation filled their gazes, sparkling with keen intensity, all yearning to behold a Martial Immortal's breakthrough.

For countless warriors, the Pure Martial path remains forever out of reach in their lives. Even pursuing the Divine Martial path, like a shortcut, demands their full devotion.

Pure Martial stands as a legend, but it burns as the deepest dream in every warrior's soul.

Overcoming the heavens through sheer human might!

What grandeur and splendor, how it stirs the blood to boil?

From Qi Tian City’s gate tower, a flood of people poured forth.

Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, Fang Hanshu, and their companions blended into the throng, staring from a distance.

No soul knew the trials or ordeals awaiting a Pure Martial Saint in ascending to Immortal Martial, nor the horrifying tribulations Heaven and Earth might hurl down.

The Earthly Ghost Emperor, perhaps the sole warrior to attain the Martial Immortal Realm across five thousand years past and future—would he burst from his chrysalis like a butterfly, or plummet like a fading comet?

All craved the answer.

At this instant, warriors from every side held their breaths, watching with rapt focus.

Fearsome qi-blood surged toward the heavens, as though shattering some primordial seal.

As all beheld the sight, their eyes instinctively narrowed, for the seething essence qi, scorching like flames, resembled myriad volcanoes bursting at once. Qi-blood shot upward like beacon fires, tearing through the Cloud Dome and ripping the sky asunder!

Above the Earthly Ghost Emperor's head swirled purple flames, while his Golden Skull radiated blinding splendor, majestic and terrifying. Arms spread wide, he advanced step by step from Qi Tian City.

Golden qi-blood, akin to ferocious dragons, ascended skyward in waves, twisting and thrashing wildly!

These were but manifestations of qi-blood, gleaming to the extreme, utterly breathtaking!

Golden dragons burst through earth and sky, cavorting with the luminous moon, blazing radiantly, lighting up the darkened Qi Tian City like a jewel gleaming amid Heaven and Earth!

Mysterious purple fire crowned the Earthly Ghost Emperor’s head, golden light blazed from his Golden Skull’s eye sockets, his form gleamed crystalline and sheer, etched with divine golden runes. Beneath the flesh, golden blood surged and thundered.

Chin lifted proudly, he stared straight into the vault above.

Every eye locked upon him, as the Ghost Emperor marched onward, each stride quaking the ground like impending ruin.

His whole frame brimmed with qi-blood, like a colossal dragon coiling across the land, charging straight to the roiling Grand Canal's banks, eight hundred miles from Qi Tian City.

Mighty figures inside and outside Qi Tian City could stay put no longer, trailing one by one, observing from afar, as if beholding a god's graceful dance.

Rumble——

Hands clasped behind his back, Li Che strode forth, robes billowing. He tilted his head upward, glaring at the heavens.

Emerging from Qi Tian City, free of the enigmatic mist's shroud, and unleashing his qi-blood fully, his Martial Dao Will manifested, spanning Heaven and Earth, stirring the world's will into furious tremors!

Gales screamed, whipping sand across the earth, tumbling and swirling wildly, as if set to carve gashes into the soil!

Overhead, contrary to visions of dark clouds massing for a dread heavenly tribulation, vast emptiness stretched for miles, with only the golden, platter-like moon suspended high, radiating utmost splendor!

Rumble——

Thunder boomed, a lightning streak flashed abruptly, strangely warped like magnetic glows, hues shifting like auroras at the poles, contorted shapes gleaming vividly across the sky, pairing with the golden moon, slanting, exploding, in eye-searing brilliance!

However, the lovelier the spectacle, the deadlier the peril it foretold.

As though this heavenly tribulation, with its riot of colors like divine omens, hid lethal threats within.

Even Li Che sensed the dread now, a pressure from Heaven and Earth far surpassing any ordinary divine tribulation!

It rivaled the terror of a Second Calamity Divine Tribulation Venerable!

Rumble——

A ferocious blast erupted, like a nuclear warhead detonating, echoing a furious bellow from endless storm clouds over an endless ocean, a thunderous roar shaking the myriad peaks.

Soul-shaking, heart-seizing, every warrior fell deathly silent like insects in winter frost, speechless, frozen still.

They trembled, blood turning to ice, powerless to stir or fight back, as if Heaven and Earth’s will had forged into a blade hovering over each qi-blood warrior’s throat, poised to decapitate and spill gore.

This tribulation targeted warriors alone!

It brooked no mercy for those daring to shatter chains, defying Heaven and Earth with mortal power, unleashing annihilation without quarter, no path to survival!

Bang——!!!

Li Che too endured this crush, unlike Dao Tribulation's restraint, a calamity spawned by Heaven and Earth to incinerate his flesh and blood, to pulverize his Martial Dao Will.
