Ning Qi imparted the Tribulation Birth Ten Thousand Paths Technique to Sword Ancestor and over seventy cultivators, allowing them to refine their bodies with controlled Tribulation Thunder. They endured nine grueling tribulations, surpassing most Harmonization experts and shedding ties to the Mountain and Sea Realm. Sword Ancestor and Qi Keqing faced even more intense trials up to the eighteenth, with Sword Ancestor emerging with a celestial eye that drew vast Evil Qi toward Ning Qi.

High above, the clouds of tribulation still lingered without scattering.

Yet the ones facing the tribulation had already triumphed over it.

All spectators gaped in shock at the Sword Ancestor, who stepped forth after slashing apart the spherical lightning.

A five-colored divine chain halo on the Sword Ancestor’s forehead peeled away on its own, scattering like falling petals.

Right then, boundless gray-black evil qi erupted toward the heavenly tribulation lightning like a burst dam.

The Sword Ancestor’s face showed a mix of agony and clarity.

Abruptly, a translucent Will Sword shot from the eye on his brow.

Zheng!

As it appeared, an overwhelming Sword Intent exploded across the void, felt by everyone there.

Furthermore, numerous cultivators’ Magical Swords outside their bodies hummed in response, resonating with the Will Sword and nearly soaring off.

Still, the Sword Ancestor had no desire to seize others’ Magical Swords; his goal was solely to wield the Will Sword against the evil qi.

Beyond its supreme Sword Intent, the Will Sword carried an unyielding will.

That peerless Sword Intent tore open a massive black rift in the space before it, swallowing all the evil qi into the void.

Witnessing this spectacle left everyone stunned.

The Sword Ancestor’s strike had shattered the war realm space upheld by the wills of two realms. Fresh from his breakthrough, he was poised to become a formidable Harmonization powerhouse.

"This person’s talent in Sword Dao is truly astounding, but I wonder, what exactly is that gray-black evil qi emerging from his brow?"

A Harmonization cultivator whispered.

At the heart of the Heavenly Tribulation, Ning Qi peered down into the void chasm below.

His gaze shone brightly as he examined the evil qi with keen interest.

Ning Qi had directed the tribulation lightning, infused with Power of Rules from the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Vast Realm, and the Sea of Realms, to aid the Sword Ancestor and others in their breakthroughs.

The Sword Ancestor gained the greatest boon from enduring eighteen layers of tribulation.

Ning Qi recalled the Sword Ancestor’s sealed evil qi and profound dao wound, so he employed the tribulation lightning to rebuild his Harmonization physique and purify his Primordial Spirit.

One aim was full recovery for the Sword Ancestor; the other, to purge the trapped evil qi.

The outcome proved perfect—the Sword Ancestor’s great dao wound had mended completely, and Ning Qi’s tribulation lightning power finally forced out the evil qi, making the five-element divine chain on his forehead detach and dissolve automatically.

Evidently, this evil qi was extraordinarily strange; even the eighteen layers of tribulation lightning merely stripped it from the Sword Ancestor’s form without destroying it.

Down below.

The void chasm sliced by the Sword Ancestor twisted slowly, healing at an eye-catching speed.

"Eh!"

The crowd let out a collective gasp of surprise.

From the edges of the steadily closing abyss, wisps of evil qi slithered out like gray-black tentacles.

The Sword Ancestor’s Sword Intent proved powerless against it!

At this sight, the Sword Ancestor’s sword eyes dimmed faintly.

Ning Qi shot him a calming glance, however. The Sword Ancestor nodded back; for now, dealing with this evil qi fell to Ning Qi.

He felt his brow, now clear of evil qi, freed at last from ages of suffering.

The great dao wound inflicted by the evil qi inside him had fully healed.

Deep in his heart, the Sword Ancestor brimmed with profound thanks toward Ning Qi!

Yet without seeing the evil qi utterly vanquished, true joy eluded him.

Ning Qi eyed the gray-black evil qi reemerging from the abyss, then lightly snapped his fingers at the spinning Tribulation Thunder Pill ahead.

After the recent tribulations, the Tribulation Thunder Pill showed no reduction in size.

Instead, absorbing Power of Rules from the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Vast Realm, and the Sea of Realms had made it denser still.

Crafted by Ning Qi, it obeyed him like a faithful hound.

With his flick, the entire Tribulation Thunder Pill spat out a massive tribulation lightning bolt downward.

This water-jar-thick bolt gleamed with supreme yang exorcism light, whipping toward the gray-black evil qi like a lash.

Pa la!

The clash in the void produced no roar of battle, eerily silent.

Before all eyes, the ultra-rigid, yang-filled tribulation lightning shone like a godly arrow against the ominous gray-black evil qi.

As they twisted together, the evil qi suddenly yawned open like a giant mouth, engulfing the lightning.

Then, sticking like a bone-burrowing maggot, it latched on and surged up the bolt toward the tribulation cloud, straight for Ning Qi’s position.

The watchers below inhaled sharply—what kind of monstrosity was this?

Not even the purest yang tribulation lightning could eradicate it; worse, it seemed to hijack the lightning itself.

Truly facing off against the evil qi, Ning Qi sensed even more.

The lightning didn’t just fail; in his view, the evil qi swiftly adapted, devouring its power.

The evil qi ballooned larger, piercing above the thundercloud.

Upon entering, the whole cloud shuddered violently.

Si-lk!

A faint hiss escaped the evil qi.

In that instant, it burst into tiny particles, dispersing and fusing into the thundercloud.

Now, the Tribulation Thunder Pill in front of Ning Qi spun independently, booming with thunderous clamor.

High overhead, spectators saw the Thunder Pill erupt endless lightning, morphing into electric serpents darting wildly through the tribulation cloud.
