Li Chen, having defeated a group of Soul Realm experts, reflects on his path to power. Suddenly, powerful cultivators from various sects arrive, angered by the deaths of their disciples and elders. They begin to argue over who gets to claim Li Chen, underestimating his strength. Li Chen calmly presents them with two choices: a peaceful separation or a fight he will win, regardless of the cost. When they laugh and refuse his terms, Li Chen summons heavenly tribulation clouds, preparing to face them.

For most people, the heavenly tribulation is truly a terrifying thing, and the higher the cultivation, the more so it is.

Unless one has already broken through to the Palm Realm and generated the existence of one’s own universe, they cannot avoid the heavenly tribulation produced by the universe consciousness.

There might be the existence of a heavenly dao within a plane, but the existence of the plane’s heavenly dao still relies upon the universe consciousness.

And the heavenly tribulation is precisely a product of the universe consciousness.

Therefore, the closer one gets to the Palm Realm, the less likely they are to underestimate the heavenly tribulation; instead, they become more cautious because the closer one is to success, the higher the chance of failure.

Unless that person already possessed their own universe before the breakthrough.

Or perhaps they are simply unafraid of the challenges of the Palm Realm.

Li Chen had both of these attributes, so it seemed so effortless when he broke through to the Palm Realm back in the day.

And evidently, these Soul Realm experts had none of these.

Moreover, because they didn’t even have adequate time to prepare, their faces were filled with terror when faced with the appearance of the heavenly tribulation.

And Li Chen just watched them calmly.

"I’ve already given you a choice." Li Chen shook his head, "Unfortunately, you chose wrongly."

One of the Soul Realm experts suddenly had blood-red eyes. His cultivation was only at the Ninth Order Initial Phase, having just completed a tribulation not long ago, and now facing another Ninth Order-level tribulation, it was almost certain death.

With crimson eyes staring at Li Chen, knowing he couldn’t escape, his face was filled with ferocity: "Even if I die, I’ll take you, you little brat, with me!!"

With that, the Soul Realm expert rushed towards Li Chen with extreme speed.

Li Chen’s divine soul was immensely powerful, sensing the sudden movement of the Soul Realm expert immediately at the first sign of his aura fluctuation.

However, his cultivation was too low.

Though he could detect the opponent’s movements, his physical body and cultivation simply couldn’t keep up with his reaction speed, only able to watch as the Soul Realm expert charged towards him.

Carrying a tremendously fierce momentum.

At this time, no matter how impressive Li Chen was, with only Domain Realm cultivation, there was simply no comparison to an expert of this level. If truly hit, it would certainly mean death.

However, Li Chen’s eyes remained very calm.

With Red Moon gone and the Seven Realms Tome lacking any attack power, he still remained calm.

Because, the moment the Soul Realm expert took action, a thin arc of lightning had already descended from the sky.

Not only was there thunder, but on the lightning, there were fierce white flames dancing.

Thunder Fire Tribulation!

"Boom!!!"

Before the Soul Realm expert could touch Li Chen, he was directly blown away by the violent Thunder Fire Tribulation, his entire body scorched black, with white flames still flickering in many places, continuously burning his physical body, screaming in terror amid the flames and thunder.

His divine soul was being burned by the white flames.

And once the divine soul is incinerated, he would truly vanish into nothingness.

Li Chen glanced at the sky; indeed, this universe was not complete.

Otherwise, how could such a grade of heavenly tribulation not even have a Tribulation Space?

It’s known that in the Starry Universe, a Ninth Order-grade heavenly tribulation would be forcibly transferred to a Tribulation Space by the heavenly dao for the tribulation to take place.

Because a powerful tribulation of this level could accidentally destroy an entire plane.

Even if the Nine Heavens Continent was extremely resilient, almost reaching the grade of the Starry Universe’s heavenly tribulation Starry Continent, it was still not enough.

Just as Li Chen’s thoughts concluded, he sensed an immensely powerful will sweep across the area.

The next instant, along with Li Chen, all the remaining alive Soul Realm experts present disappeared from their original location.

Within the vast sea of clouds, Li Chen curiously observed his surroundings.

Unexpectedly, just after contemplating this matter, they were transferred to this Tribulation Space. Observing the Jianmu Universe was not as lacking as presumed; after all, it’s still a genuine universe.

Perhaps it was because the scene he caused this time was too unique, making the heavenly dao’s response much slower.

This was Li Chen’s first meaningful entry into a Tribulation Space.

In the past, when Li Chen faced the Ninth Order heavenly tribulation, he had directly extinguished it.

Because at that stage of his, ordinary tribulations indeed had no effect on him.

But now, it was different.

"The Innate Chaotic Body, just right, take this chance during the tribulation for some proper tempering."

Li Chen glanced at the pale-faced Soul Realm experts not far away, his heart immensely calm.

At this moment, the long-brewing heavenly tribulation finally descended.

The power differed according to each of their respective cultivations.

As a Domain Realm cultivator and the initiator of this group tribulation, the enhancement of Li Chen’s tribulation was naturally the greatest.

But even so, it was merely at the Domain Realm grade, while the others faced terrifying tribulations corresponding to their Soul Realm grade.

In this regard, Li Chen suddenly felt that the universe consciousness of the Jianmu Universe was quite reasonable.

It’s known that, back when Li Chen faced the Calamity of the Heavenly King, there appeared Purple Gold Thunder, a terrifying tribulation capable of killing a Soul Realm Celestial Venerable!

Even today, Li Chen doesn’t know why the heavenly tribulation of the Starry Universe was filled with malice towards him.

But those matters are in the past, and Li Chen doesn’t care anymore.

"You..." A Soul Realm expert, after enduring a wave of tribulation baptism, his body bleeding profusely, pointed at Li Chen with weak yet venomous spite: "What a vicious little brat! Did you anticipate our appearance and deliberately suppressed your tribulation to drag us down with you?!"

"Drag you down?" Li Chen glanced at the Soul Realm expert with pity: "No offense, but you lot really aren’t worthy of being funeral companions for me."

"As for scheming?" Li Chen smirked coldly, "Weren’t you all also scheming against me? Is there logic in the world that only allows you to harm others and not permit others to counterattack?"

Li Chen’s words left him speechless.

Indeed, this so-called lottery was a scam from start to finish?

But just thinking about how they had painstakingly cultivated to the Soul Realm, becoming revered existences among millions, only to perish here so disgracefully, the grief and indignation were overwhelming.

"Enough."

Li Chen disdainfully withdrew his gaze: "Don’t put on such a sour face; if you know you’re going to die, go to your death with composure."

"Many have perished at my hands, and honestly, with your level of strength, there’s nothing disgraceful about it."

Li Chen’s words nearly made the already enraged Soul Realm experts vomit blood, and finally, unable to suppress their fiery hearts, they collectively spewed a mouthful of blood.

They felt that even if the tribulation didn’t kill them, this white-haired brat would anger them to death.
