The wills of the Mountain and Sea Realm and Vast Realm discovered they were powerless under Ning Qi's Heavenly Tribulation, leading to a rare conversation amid their rivalry. The Vast Realm's will deployed the Saint Ancestor's Deciphering Talisman to free its trapped Harmonization cultivators. Ning Qi, with his newly condensed mixed-rule Harmonization body, summoned a second, thicker Thunder Dragon, interrupting the rescue and bombarding the area with fused rule thunderbolts.

Thus, the initial wave of the Heavenly Tribulation had already wiped out half of the Harmonization cultivators.

The second wave of thunder crashed down, enveloping not only Ning Qi but the entire scene below.

Not merely the other Harmonization cultivators suffered—even the wills of the two realms and the Saint Ancestor’s Deciphering Talisman got hit by the Heavenly Tribulation.

"!!!"

The wills of the two realms had never imagined they would face such a situation.

They quickly teleported across the confined space to dodge.

Yet every dodge brought more lightning bolts chasing them, rendering the wills of the two realms completely helpless.

Wasn’t this their own power drawn from the two realms? How could it attack them too? Where was the fairness?

The wills of the two realms steeled themselves, stopped evading, and directly took a hit from the Heavenly Tribulation.

Once the lightning dissipated, the area lay in ruins.

Half of the surviving Harmonization cultivators got struck down, with just over three hundred left breathing.

The Saint Ancestor’s Deciphering Talisman, glowing with golden radiance, ended up twisted and deformed from the strike.

Borne by the Vast Realm Will to rescue the subordinate Harmonization cultivators, it was outright halted by the Heavenly Tribulation.

The phantom forms of the two realms' wills were the only ones spared real harm, being nothing but illusions.

Still, wisps of faint blue smoke curled around the phantoms, proving the lightning had indeed affected them.

On this occasion, the Heavenly Tribulation tore away all of Ning Qi’s flesh, exposing his luminous white skeleton.

The Yin Yang Diagram spun around him, displaying enigmatic revival abilities that swiftly regenerated the lost flesh.

In mere breaths, Ning Qi stood fully restored.

He gazed upward at the raging tribulation clouds, ignoring the chaos below, fully immersed in enduring the trial.

With a mere thought, Ning Qi called forth the third bolt of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Those facing tribulations could summon strikes through intent, though most postponed them for as long as possible.

But Ning Qi charged straight into the fray.

His form soared skyward, boldly facing the Heavenly Tribulation head-on.

Deep within the storm clouds, this forming tribulation differed vastly from the prior Thunder Dragon.

Now, it fused with a specific Power of Rules, morphing into a howling blue thunder wind.

Woooo!

The thunder wind roared fiercely, sweeping toward the world below and blanketing the entire region.

Enveloped in the blue thunder wind, Ning Qi sensed it slicing from his head through his body like countless blades forged from rules, executing merciless judgment.

Post-tribulation, Ning Qi reassembled his Harmonization body and promptly invoked the fourth strike of the Heavenly Tribulation...

The wind-thunder tribulation shifted from blue to blood-red, as though dredged from hell’s deepest abyss.

Next came the fifth tribulation.

The blood-red wind and thunder darkened to gray-black, brimming with utter destruction and demise!

Sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth...

Ning Qi endured nine tribulations in succession!

He rebuilt his fleshly body once more, sparing a glance downward.

Down there, scarcely any Harmonization cultivators remained—only the mightiest among them clung to life.

Yet most lay broken, gushing blood, spasming without end, bereft of any power to heal.

They stared up at Ning Qi with desperate eyes, as if begging him to grant them a swift end.

This freakish being had conquered nine straight tribulations, rivaling feats of the absolute pinnacle geniuses across the two realms' history.

Furthermore, Ning Qi’s tribulations stood out uniquely.

Gazing at the overhead tribulation clouds, no hint of dissipation appeared.

The wills of the two realms had retreated to the area's fringes.

The Saint Ancestor’s Deciphering Talisman had been utterly shattered by one of the lightning blasts long ago!
