Jiang Fan endured the Heart Demon Tribulation, trapped in vivid illusions crafted by Refining Void-level Celestial Demons that assailed him with wailing ghosts, betrayals, and despair. Unaffected by a mysterious energy preserving his clarity, he deployed the Demon-Vibrating Bell, whose tolls unleashed golden sound waves that shredded and purified the demons pouring from a void rift. As the Celestial Demons scattered in fear, Jiang Fan absorbed their soul energy to strengthen his own, overcoming the tribulation amid the bell's lingering echoes, only to sense the impending Void Refining Thunder Tribulation gathering above.

Simultaneously.

Lu Youyou along with the rest naturally observed the strange phenomenon across the whole Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm and the heavens over Primordial Peak.

This sight stunned vast numbers of cultivators.

"Void Refining Thunder Tribulation, the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation has come."

"I never thought the Thunder Tribulation would strike so soon, leaving barely any moment to recover."

"One could say this fellow overcame the Heart Demon Tribulation far too rapidly, causing such a shift."

Cloud Fairy let out a sigh while beholding this spectacle.

She had witnessed many cultivators reaching the Void Refining realm.

Yet, she had never encountered a Void Refining Thunder Tribulation so frightening.

The dark disaster clouds spanned millions of kilometers, appearing endless and immense.

Far off, the heavens turned utterly dark, releasing a supreme sense of pressure, resembling divine retribution falling down.

"Master, the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation seems so fearsome; will my husband make it through safely?"

Lu Youyou inquired with evident worry.

In that instant, she sensed the whole cosmos gripped by some unseen colossal palm.

Within mere breaths, the once bright or mildly overcast sky got swallowed by rapidly assembling thick black clouds, ink-dark and leaden, their borders churning with a shadowy violet glow that expanded at a pace invisible to the eye, quickly enveloping the expansive region of millions of kilometers.

Below, be it peaks, waters, oceans, creatures, or flora, all fell under this limitless gloom, day turning abruptly to perpetual darkness, pierced only now and then by eerie flashes from the cloud depths, outlining a world compressed nearly to the point of asphyxiation.

"Don't fret, your husband wields many methods."

"He holds endless magical treasures."

"Certain items even escape my insight."

"Should this youth fail against the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation, then none could succeed."

"Naturally, this Thunder Tribulation's might is somewhat over the top."

"Still, enduring it would bring vast rewards."

"Indeed, danger and fortune walk hand in hand."

Cloud Fairy replied with steady composure.

For a typical cultivator, surviving this Thunder Tribulation would prove impossible, leading swiftly to death.

However, a regular cultivator likely wouldn't attract such a dreadful Thunder Tribulation to begin with.

Thus, she held no concerns whatsoever for Jiang Fan's passage through this trial.

Rumble~~

Right then, the Thunder Tribulation unleashed itself.

The initial strike of tribulation thunder boomed, not as a low growl like common thunder, but as a piercing shriek ripping across the cosmos. From the heart of the twisting black clouds, a violet tribulation bolt, dragon-thick, abruptly stretched out. The lightning didn't stay as mere sparks but subtly formed a thunder dragon with distinct scales and talons. Its draconic head lifted proudly, jaws gaping wide enough to engulf sun and moon, violet energy coursing over its hide, emanating vibes of ruin and grandeur, hurtling savagely at Primordial Peak.

Just then, a silhouette soared from Primordial Peak, confronting the thunder tribulation head-on.

And that silhouette was none other than Jiang Fan.

A simple punch from him shattered the tribulation thunder.

Even as the tribulation thunder neared, it failed to scratch his body at all, like he embodied a True Spirit.

Yet this action fully enraged the heavenly tribulation.

Shortly, the second, third... endless violet tribulation thunders followed one after another.

No longer uniform, some shifted into thunderbirds whose wings blotted the sky, scattering purple electric filaments like heavy rain in all directions; others solidified into majestic thunder qilins with bolts clustering at their lone horn, radiating an odd mix of holiness and savagery; still more appeared as coiling thunder serpents, charging thunder steeds, bellowing thunder lions...

Innumerable illusions of divine beasts crafted from violet tribulation thunder surged and howled amid the murky clouds. Every clash, every cry, echoed by booming thunder, lacked disorder but felt like primordial battle drums, throbbing against the rhythm of the cosmos and making every soul quiver.

The storm of lightning intensified relentlessly, purple bolts nearly the only illumination over this realm, slashing the blackness, revealing the turmoil boiling in the clouds, and exposing the void warping and fracturing beneath the thunder's force.

The once firm spatial barrier, battered by the violet tribulation thunders, started displaying web-like fissures, hiding within them a terrifying void chasm, as though some mysterious entity gazed through the gaps at this tribulation-veiled domain.

"It's way too intense; is this really the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation?"

"Could any cultivator actually survive it?"

Su Weiwei and Lu Youyou, observing from afar, also felt deep unease and alarm.

They believed a single stray tribulation thunder could incinerate them effortlessly.

No amount of effort on their part would help.

Although tales of the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation's horrors had reached their ears, they hadn't imagined it so nightmarish.

Fortunately, they detected their husband's presence staying dominantly powerful.

Even against such horrifying tribulation thunder, he held his ground steadfastly.

This eased their minds considerably.

At the very least, this tribulation thunder couldn't claim their man's life yet.

Meanwhile.

Many core disciples from the Primordial Talisman Sect observed from afar.

Such as Senior Brother Xiao Huo, plus Luo Wu, Mu Yuan, Yin Zhao Peak, Xue Zhiheng, Song Yuming, Shen Yanci, and the like.

After all, approaching Primordial Peak too closely risked entanglement in the tribulation thunders.

One might say frail cultivators like them lacked even the right to draw near.

Despite their long cultivation period and swift advancements.
