257: Chapter 255: Breaking through the Void Refining Realm, Thunder Tribulation is Coming!

Gu Shengge looked around. Although it was his first time observing this new world, he felt no sense of unfamiliarity. Everything that happened here, everything that existed here—it seemed he had known it all along. Even the smallest changes had occurred right before his eyes.

The moment he stood up, in the Eastern Region where he was located, mist and rosy clouds filled the air as Purple Qi arrived from the East.

Gu Shengge moved the sun and moon. Between heaven and earth, every scene flashed before his eyes.

No powerful beings had been born in this world yet; there were only some plants and unintelligent small animals.

However, Gu Shengge could sense that in some of the blessed lands of this world, vigorous life force was being nurtured. Perhaps after countless years, they would emerge into the world.

Sensing his own power, he had already stepped into the Void Refining Realm. Once the internal cultivation of his world was complete, he would be a true Void Refining practitioner.

With a thought, he returned to the outside world. Within the Chaos, the boundless chaotic aura continued to surge and press in.

Upon his appearance, thunder suddenly roared in the chaotic sky. Chaos Heavenly Lightning bellowed beneath the Nine Heavens, emitting bursts of divine light.

The Heavenly Tribulation of the Void Refining Realm had arrived. Previously, Gu Shengge had been inside his own inner world, which shielded him from the tribulation. Now that he had just come out, the Heavenly Tribulation immediately locked onto him.

Gu Shengge's gaze was sharp. Within his Double Pupils, the sun and moon hung in the sky as he soared upward to meet the challenge head-on.

“Rumble...”

Thunder exploded, its light shining for ten thousand miles. The chaotic Qi churning within the lightning seemed as if it would tear apart this dark world, condensing into a massive Chaos Monster that charged at Gu Shengge below.

Carrying the intense Void Refining Lightning Tribulation, a giant chaotic claw lunged fiercely at Gu Shengge.

Gu Shengge raised his hand, and the power of space flowed. The descending massive claw was blocked by spatial energy. The severing power of space erupted, and the spatial energy tore the massive Chaos Monster apart.

The Chaos Monster was shredded by the Space Dao Principles. Under the dense power of space, it was instantly split into thousands of pieces, and even the lightning energy was torn asunder.

The first wave of the Heavenly Tribulation could not harm Gu Shengge at all, as he had touched upon the Great Dao of Space.

Above the firmament, the lightning and chaotic mist intertwined and flashed, condensing into an endless divine light. Once again, a massive Chaos Monster manifested. The tribulation energy poured into the monster's body, making its form increasingly solid and terrifying, while the lightning within it emitted a dazzling divine light.

“Rumble...”

After the first wave of the Heavenly Tribulation was safely passed, the brewing tribulation became even more terrifying. Boundless, violent thunder condensed in the sky.

“Boom!”

The first bolt of lightning crashed down, and the Chaos Lightning Monster also roared as it lunged at Gu Shengge.

Within the Chaos Monster's gray body, lightning flashed as two sharp claws reached for Gu Shengge.

With a wave of his hand, the heaven-opening divine axe fell into Gu Shengge's grasp. Runes of the Primal Dao flickered on the battle-axe. With one swing, the chaotic space ahead seemed as if it were about to be sliced open. A white line was drawn, directly shredding the massive Chaos Monster.

The tribulation energy, containing a massive amount of lightning energy, struck Gu Shengge. However, it had already been weakened too much by the heaven-opening divine axe. Striking the current Gu Shengge, it couldn't even cause a ripple.

Following that, the third, fourth, and fifth waves were all more or less the same.

But as the sixth Lightning Tribulation condensed, an anomaly arose. Above the firmament, chaotic lightning light filled the sky. Intense thunder erupted with a fierce divine light within a radius of a million miles of chaotic space.

“Rumble...”

The thunder continued to erupt. Between the chaotic heaven and earth, the Heavenly Tribulation lightning distorted the space below. The fierce lightning flashed through the chaotic barrier, connecting with the worlds of the Nine Realms Alliance. The violent lightning even reflected into those worlds.

The dazzling lightning flashed across the sky, making the heavens of various worlds blindingly bright.

Among them was the Haoyang Realm. Ten years had passed since Gu Shengge disappeared. During these ten years, Jun Mengqing and Pei Yuhan had been waiting at the Haoyang Heavenly Sect for his return.

They had spoken of this matter to Tantai Qingxuan of the Qiankun Taoist Sect. The latter simply told them to wait with peace of mind; Gu Shengge's soul lamp had not gone out and had even become more vibrant.

Only then did Jun Mengqing and Pei Yuhan feel relieved, waiting here peacefully for Gu Shengge's return. Now, with the heavenly anomaly and the surging thunder, they instinctively thought of Gu Shengge as the one capable of causing such a scene.

On the other side, Duan Wuya, who had fled to the Muling Realm, was suddenly startled awake. It had been ten years since he fled from the Blackwater Heavenly Realm, and his injuries had recovered. However, when he had forcibly severed half of his body back then, his Origin was damaged and could no longer be mended.

Hearing the rumbling thunder outside, his gaze turned cold. He immediately stood up and walked out of his Immortal Cave, looking toward the sky. The flashing lightning was so bright he couldn't open his eyes. The terrifying lightning energy exploded outside the world, yet it tangibly affected the interior. The rumbling thunder seemed as if it would tear the eardrums of all living beings, terrifying and boundless.

He didn't know the source of these anomalies, but he felt an inexplicable and extreme unease in his heart, as if some existence that would suffocate him was about to emerge.

As he looked up at the sky, a bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the spatial barrier and crashed down, striking Duan Wuya directly.

Because the chaotic lightning had come by tearing through space, Duan Wuya couldn't react at all and was hit directly. Under the impact of the fierce lightning, Duan Wuya's expression suddenly became incredibly grim.

After being struck by the lightning, his entire Law Corpse body became transparent, revealing the scene within.

Duan Wuya suddenly discovered that more than half of his Divine Soul seemed to be tainted with a certain strange aura, and most of his body was stained with that brownish energy.

He roared, forcibly dispersing the lightning that had fallen on him, and his body regained sensation.

But at this moment, his heart was incredibly heavy. Something was wrong with his Divine Soul—a major problem!

Those brownish energy lights on his Divine Soul were definitely no ordinary things. So, when did he get tainted by them?

He sensed carefully, and then his expression changed drastically. He cried out in shock, “Mo Jie, it's your aura! What on earth did you do to my Divine Soul?”

No one answered him; the surroundings were very silent. He was now very fearful in his heart and immediately rushed back to his Immortal Cave to begin investigating the changes in his Divine Soul.

He was now very suspicious of Mo Jie's original intention in letting him devour him. Was that guy really doing it to help him succeed? Not necessarily.

Within the chaotic Void Realm, the Heavenly Tribulation lightning danced wildly, like lightning whips hanging from the firmament, lashing everything in the world.

Under the lashing of the lightning whips across the sky, Gu Shengge felt his entire body burning with pain. He brandished the heaven-opening divine axe in his hand, trying to carve out a path, but the lightning whips were supple and didn't give him that chance at all!
