The Void Refining Thunder Tribulation descends upon Primordial Peak, shocking cultivators across the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm with its vast black clouds spanning millions of kilometers and oppressive aura. Lu Youyou and others watch anxiously as the first bolt, a massive thunder dragon, strikes, only for Jiang Fan to shatter it with a single punch, provoking a barrage of thunder beasts like birds, qilins, serpents, and lions that warp space itself. Cloud Fairy reassures the worried onlookers of Jiang Fan's formidable treasures and strength, while distant true disciples of the Primordial Talisman Sect observe the terrifying spectacle from afar.

Yet, it has merely attained Foundation Establishment Perfection at best and failed to progress to the Golden Core stage.

Against the might of a Refining Void practitioner, the disparity is simply enormous.

“Master is indeed overwhelmingly strong. Could this be the fabled Void Refining Thunder Tribulation?”

“Its force resembles divine retribution from the heavens.”

“It’s said that no one in the Void Realm has stepped into the Refining Void stage for ages.”

“Therefore, Master must be the first in the Void Realm to reach Refining Void after all these years.”

“That would position him as the supreme powerhouse beneath the heavens.”

Xiao Huo remarked with profound admiration.

Earlier, he had sensed that his master’s cultivation base was profound and far exceeded a mere Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Who would have thought that in just over ten years, he would commence his breakthrough to Refining Void.

Undoubtedly, Master had previously been at the Divinity Transformation stage; that explained the swift advancement.

“Hmph, this goes beyond a standard Void Refining Thunder Tribulation.”

“Even back in ancient eras, only peerless geniuses could summon such a formidable thunder tribulation.”

“The Sect Leader of the Primordial Talisman Sect possesses truly immeasurable cultivation.”

The speaker was the Artifact Spirit of the Fire Dragon Tripod, the Fire Dragon Daoist, hailing from ancient times.

Having witnessed countless elite Human Race cultivators, it was well-versed in Refining Void experts.

Nevertheless, it regarded the Sect Leader of the Primordial Talisman Sect’s cultivation as deep and formidable, not to be taken lightly.

Far superior to typical cultivators.

If it had appeared in ancient days, it could have ascended to immortality.

“Senior, for so long, no one in the Void Realm has broken through to Refining Void.”

“Yet recently, spiritual energies keep surging back, and the world faces massive upheavals.”

“Could disaster be looming?”

“For some reason, I keep sensing an ominous feeling.”

Xiao Huo expressed gravely.

Cultivating peacefully within the Primordial Talisman Sect had seemed ideal.

However, the world’s transformations lately have been immense and swift.

They alter dramatically day by day.

This stirred restlessness in his core, making him suspect some unforeseen upheaval was brewing.

“Your intuition is spot on; this world is truly shifting.”

“Maybe soon, the Void Realm will reclaim the glory of antiquity.”

“Countless fortunes will arise without end.”

“This marks the prime era for cultivators like you to ascend.”

“Let these chances slip, and you’ll rue it forever.”

The Fire Dragon Daoist spoke with a touch of melancholy.

It held knowledge of numerous ancient mysteries.

That’s how it endured from antiquity until now.

It had lost many recollections before.

But as Xiao Huo’s cultivation advanced and he seized new boons, it regained a substantial portion of its past.

Thus, it grasped better the significance of the Void Realm’s alterations.

This instilled a strong urgency within it.

“Then, once reaching Golden Core, one shouldn’t remain confined in the Sect constantly.”

“Venturing out frequently is essential.”

“Chances don’t drop from above unbidden.”

Xiao Huo agreed with a nod.

The other true disciples stayed utterly silent, their gazes fixed on the far-off celestial tribulation with fervent anticipation.

To them, it served as inspiration.

In due course, they too aspired to enter the Void Refinement Realm following their master.

Or even surpass to loftier heights.

......

After seven days.

The thunder tribulation at last concluded.

The ominous clouds overhead fully scattered.

Beyond question, Jiang Fan triumphed over this Void Refining Thunder Tribulation.

To conquer it, he employed every trick at his disposal.

Luckily, his arsenal of magical treasures was vast, and his magical power plentiful; else, success might have eluded him.

Hence, one can fathom the sheer dreadfulness of this unprecedented thunder tribulation.

“So, this is the Qi of Creation?”

Now, Jiang Fan perched upon Primordial Peak, sensing wisps of Qi of Creation cascading from the skies.

This was heaven’s reward following the tribulation’s end.

The fiercer the ordeal endured, the richer the boon bestowed.

The two stood in direct proportion.

At present, threads of Qi of Creation flowed into his form, mending his wounds in a flash.

Simultaneously, his Primordial Magical Power and Primordial Spirit Power surged visibly at an astonishing rate.

This pace outstripped years of grueling practice.

Simply absorbing these celestial rewards spared immense toil and time in his path.

His physical body too was swiftly fortified by this arcane force.

Even the Soaring Snake Technique’s advancement leaped forward markedly.

“Finally, I’ve genuinely stepped into the First Layer of Void Refining.”

“At this level, even in the Spirit Ruins Realm, I rank among the mighty.”

“Though it won’t let me act without restraint, it ensures foes can’t slay me with ease.”

“Within the Void Realm, I’d be virtually unbeatable.”

“Save for some ancient being from antiquity awakening.”

“No one could touch me otherwise.”

Jiang Fan balled his fists tightly.

He perceived his battle prowess multiply manifold.

It marked a fundamental leap from prior.

The chasm between Divinity Transformation and Void Refining proved immense, beyond measure.

Likely, a single notion could eradicate hordes of Divinity Transformation cultivators.

A single realm’s divide equaled the vastness between elephant and insect.

“Elder Fu, how does cultivation proceed in the Refining Void Realm?”

Presently, Jiang Fan retreated to his secluded chamber to methodically assimilate his rewards.

Still, curiosity burned intensely about Refining Void cultivation.

Deeper insight would undeniably aid his growth.

No entity knew the Refining Void path better than the Primordial Talisman Pen.

Hearing this, the Primordial Talisman Pen felt a surge of emotion, surprised at how swiftly this youth attained Refining Void—far exceeding its forecasts.

Yet, such hasty progress to Refining Void was undoubtedly positive.

At minimum, in the peril-laden Void Realm, self-preservation grew simpler.

“Refining Void cultivation remains rather direct: relentlessly tempering divine sense and magical power.”

“This propels the evolution of primordial spirit and magical power further.”

“Take the early Refining Void stage, known anciently as the Celestial Eye Realm.”

“Why that title?”

“Because entering the First Layer of Refining Void triggers deeper primordial spirit metamorphosis.”

“It forms up to ten thousand soul tendrils.”

“Then, your primordial spirit can exit the flesh and ascend freely.”

“Divine sense expands, with myriad soul tendrils weaving a soul network.”

“This network not only spans the skies but permeates the surrounding void.”

“Thus, your primordial spirit acts as a celestial eye, merging with the void like a god, detecting any stirrings in any locale effortlessly.”

“Thanks to this Refining Void Celestial Eye power, ambushes from foes become nearly impossible.”

The Primordial Talisman Pen elucidated.

Indisputably, reaching the Refining Void Realm signified a soaring transcendence for any cultivator.

Even prodigies of legend rarely overpowered those at this level.

“Primordial Spirit Celestial Eye, is it?”

Jiang Fan’s mind rippled.

Precisely as Elder Fu outlined, he had formed ten thousand soul tendrils.

Every tendril stretched a million kilometers afar.

Linked, the ten thousand tendrils crafted an immense soul network.

Akin to a celestial eye, it perceived all motions or energies within a million-kilometer expanse.

Vastly surpassing the Divinity Transformation Realm by eons.

Utterly incomparable.

This defined the early Refining Void phase.

For example, at the Second Layer of Refining Void, divine sense evolves anew, fostering twenty thousand divine sense tendrils.

Advancing to the Third Layer of Refining Void cultivates thirty thousand divine sense tendrils.

It’s upon reaching the Fourth Layer of Refining Void, the Mid-stage, that true enhancements unfold.

“Entering Mid-stage Refining Void boosts primordial spirit potency further.”

“Here, it transcends mere celestial eye possession.”

“One acquires the power to navigate the void.”

The Primordial Talisman Pen went on.
