Ning Qi joined his will to the thunderstorm, expelling the persistent gray-black evil qi that resisted fiercely. The Mountain and Sea Realm Will offered no clear answers, while the hidden Vast Realm Will suspected it might be the legendary Infinite Evil Qi capable of endless growth and annihilation. Ning Qi trapped and suppressed the evil qi using his Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking and golden key, sealing it away before harnessing the remaining tribulation thunder to temper his followers' bodies and spirits, leaving cultivators from both realms in awe of his rising power.

Never before has such an unparalleled tribulation occurred in the Mountain and Sea Realm or the Vast Realm.

Beginning with Ning Qi’s own tribulation, followed by the heavenly tribulation he triggered personally for Sword Ancestor and other Integration Realm cultivators, and now this one for Primordial Spirit Realm and lower Integration Realm cultivators, every instance has stunned everyone completely.

High up in the sky.

With a divine sacrifice technique, Ning Qi refined the Tribulation Thunder Pill whirling before him, making it shrink dramatically all at once.

The tribulation clouds overhead then rushed swiftly toward the center, drawn as if by a powerful force sucking in their might.

Normally, after a Harmonization Realm cultivator faces tribulation, the clouds scatter back into the world, yet no one had ever seen them gather like this.

Amid the watchful eyes of all, the entire tribulation clouds poured completely into the Tribulation Thunder Pill.

Having devoured every bit of energy and rules from the tribulation clouds, the pill kept getting refined under Ning Qi’s control.

Buzz!

A Tao Sound buzzed through the void, as Ning Qi appeared to forge an artifact while also conducting alchemy, molding it into a colorful Tribulation Pill the size of an apricot, radiating brilliant hues.

Ning Qi parted his lips.

In one swift motion, he gulped down the vibrant Tribulation Pill.

Those watching from below couldn’t help gulping themselves.

Though refined into pill form, it remained essence of tribulation thunder, packed with immense rules and energy. Could anyone truly ingest it?

Even offered such a treasure, they’d lack the daring.

Yet Ning Qi swallowed it with total ease.

The wills of the two realms locked onto Ning Qi, sensing he’d extracted yet another massive surge of their power.

Damn it all, this fellow grows ever more defiant!

Ning Qi let out a satisfied belch and cast his gaze downward at the crowd.

His eyes gleamed like stars, intricate thunder patterns etched in his pupils, while lightning runes resembling twisted trees covered his skin.

Crackle!

Faint electric crackles echoed in every heart, as a sheath of seven-colored electric arcs naturally enveloped Ning Qi, exuding a profound, distant majesty.

Hearts raced wildly among the onlookers.

For some reason, a crushing pressure weighed on them, akin to confronting a celestial tribulation itself, as they stared up at Ning Qi, terrified he might suddenly unleash heavenly wrath upon them without mercy.

Only as the arcs and thunder patterns on Ning Qi gradually dimmed did this eerie, soul-stirring dread slowly fade.

A torrent of power flooded Ning Qi’s body, brimming to the utmost.

The Tribulation Thunder Pill he’d consumed served as a divine ability.

At his command, it could unleash tribulation thunders matching the intensity of those he’d endured before, complete with their transformative might.

It worked perfectly as a devastating strike or to bestow celestial tribulations upon his followers.

All in all, Ning Qi felt extremely pleased with this creation.

Possessing it would make boosting his subordinates’ power far simpler moving forward!

Best of all, its making drew solely from the rules of the two realms and the Sea of Realms, barely touching his own reserves.

Ning Qi glanced at the cultivators from the two domain armies who had just survived their thunder tribulations, giving a faint nod.

Everyone promptly descended to the ground alongside him, with Ning Qi touching down right in their midst.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

"Thank you, Domain Master Ning!"

The armies from both domains bowed deeply to Ning Qi together, their grateful shouts ringing out vibrantly one after another.

This sight made the bystanders’ eyes twitch once more.

All recognized that a rising force was baring its fangs, surging forward irresistibly like myriad rivers merging into an ocean.

The Fuyao Realm cultivators trailing Ning Qi buzzed with the greatest thrill.

Their rewards from this campaign were staggeringly rich; naturally, Ning Qi’s core followers reaped the biggest haul.

Even so, as outsiders, their own windfall felt explosively huge—like wagering on a bet yielding hundreds or thousands of times the stake!

Should Ning Qi now invite them to join the Profound Truth Realm ranks, not one would turn him down upon his word.

Sure, it might seem a tad disloyal to their Fuyao Realm sects, but did their original sect alone truly represent the whole realm?

Amid peak exhilaration lurked the sharpest remorse.

Those like Zhu Yanchuan who had abandoned Ning Qi earlier wore faces twisted in agony and bitter endurance.

They could have ridden the same triumphant wave as the Fuyao Realm group!

As for acquaintances of Ning Qi and Sword Ancestor, their minds swirled with envy and regret.

Ren Boping, Jiang Yuyue, Lang Yingying, and Qing Chulan—saved by Ning Qi before—had been compelled back to their sects once Harmonization arrived, forfeiting further ties with him.

Given another shot, they’d side with Ning Qi in a heartbeat!

Ning Qi raised his right hand gently, calling for silence.

The assembly hushed immediately!

Ning Qi swept his gaze slowly across them; each returned it with awe and reverence.

Ning Qi gauged the present might of all gathered there.

Counting himself, the two-domain forces now boasted over seventy Harmonization Realm cultivators!

Plus five hundred Integration Realm powerhouses in total!

The Profound Truth Realm had leaped from zero Harmonization experts to a thriving abundance.

A wave of fulfillment swelled in Ning Qi’s chest.

From his rebirth into the Mountain and Sea Realm, nearly two centuries had passed to build this mighty cultivator legion from scratch.

Yet the path stretched on; this marked no final destination!
