What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again.

Chen Yi moved closer and closer!

"Where are your eyes looking?!"

"How can this be allowed?!"

The Heavenly Tribulation was furious!

As a branch of the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm, its majesty was absolutely inviolable!

Yet Chen Yi had repeatedly dared to defy it!

In the past, he had at least maintained a semblance of respect, facing the trial of the tribulation with solemn seriousness.

But now, emboldened by his strength, he not only arrogantly deemed the tribulation too weak but even had the audacity to mock it to its face?!

BOOM!!!

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation Clouds churned violently. The nine Chaos Divine Thunders, not yet fully formed, instantly merged into a single colossal Chaos Thunder Dragon—far exceeding standard specifications, unimaginably thick and mighty!

With a swing of its tail, the thunder dragon surged out of the clouds, coiling around Chen Yi, intent on crushing him to death!

Not only was its physical force overwhelming, but it was also infused with the terrifying destructive power of Chaos Divine Thunder!

"Perfect! I've been craving this for a long time!"

Chen Yi licked his lips and still didn’t summon his Tribulation-Resisting Halberd. Instead, bare-chested, he lunged forward and grabbed the Chaos Thunder Dragon’s head, taking a huge bite. Instantly, the massive thunderous body stiffened!

Though this was the 82nd time he was undergoing the tribulation, he was no longer the same as he was during his 82nd tribulation!

Back then, this Chaos Thunder Dragon would have been like a red-hot iron rod—edible, yes, but consuming it would have overheated his body, preventing him from eating more.

Now? It was just a refreshing ice pop!

"Slurp, slurp~"

Like savoring an ice pop, or perhaps sucking down noodles.

Chen Yi smoothly devoured the entire Chaos Thunder Dragon, not even bothering to pick out the "thorns." He let its terrifying destructive power surge through his body—tingly, numbing, and honestly, kind of exhilarating!

"Not bad! I can take it—hit me harder!"

RUMBLE!!!

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation felt deeply insulted once again and decided to hold nothing back. It spread open its cloud-body, revealing the dense clusters of Chaos Divine Thunder within!

At first glance, there seemed to be only eighteen bolts, but upon closer inspection, another thirty-six were hidden behind them!

"Die!"

"Gladly!"

In a flash!

Chen Yi accelerated instantly, charging straight into the Immortal Ascension Tribulation Clouds. Weaving through the thunderous net, he pinpointed the location of the Chaos Origin Thunder Pool, dove in headfirst, and took a massive gulp, filling half his body before immediately retreating. Seizing the moment while the tribulation was still processing what had happened, he turned and fled.

Why only half?

Because the Immortal Ascension Tribulation hadn’t yet chased him to the Purple Star Continent. Since the predetermined history hadn’t unfolded, the impact would be significant—so he needed to save room in his stomach for another stealthy feast later.

"Hahaha! Thanks for the meal! See ya!"

Feeling nearly half of its Chaos Origin reserves drained, the Immortal Ascension Tribulation short-circuited.

How… How dare he?!

Last time, he couldn’t even withstand a single bolt of Chaos Divine Thunder before running. So how…?

This brat must not be allowed to live!

"Chen, you thief—don’t even think of escaping!!!"

As expected, the Immortal Ascension Tribulation came this time with absolute killing intent.

You can run, but you can’t hide!

Just like before.

What has happened will happen again; what has been done will be done once more.

The beauty of history lies in this—tweak a few minor details, preserve the broader integrity, and history will correct itself.

Provided that world-shaking events remain undisturbed.

Chen Yi had done well. Though he’d absorbed a bit too much Chaos Origin essence and suffered considerable backlash from karmic forces, he could handle it. No big deal. The key was ensuring the historical trajectory of the Purple Star Continent didn’t deviate too drastically!

So, the Immortal Ascension Tribulation’s arrival was perfect.

This was his 82nd tribulation!

RUMBLE!!!

The churning tribulation clouds blotted out the sun, plunging the sky into darkness, illuminated only by the dense, roaming bolts of Chaos Divine Thunder, their lightning awe-inspiring!

The Purple Star Heavenly Dao remained as unyielding as ever, stepping forward to issue a stern protest to the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.

"Heavenly Punishment from the Upper Realm, why have you descended upon our domain once more? Explain yourself!"

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation: "..."

Are you even listening to yourself?

"Hand over Chen Yi!"

Clearly, the tribulation’s rage this time was off the charts.

Its terrifying pressure bore down, yet the people of Purple Star, long accustomed to this, remained sprawled on the ground, still cracking jokes.

"Oho! Here we go again! Thought I wouldn’t make it through the year, but the Tribulation-Resisting Lord is faster than ever!"

"Back in the day, the fastest was once every three years. Now it’s yearly?"

"Well, the Tribulation-Resisting Lord is famously quick!"

"Quick, quick—absorb it all! The Tribulation-Resisting Lord brought us this heavenly thunder, making the air so sweet. Let’s not waste it!"

"Stay sharp, don’t embarrass yourselves!"

"What a magnificent man he is!"

"..."

It had to be said—the Immortal Ascension Tribulation’s dignity was in shambles.

RUMBLE!!!

The thunder roared in warning.

The tribulation clouds seethed!

"This time, you won’t protect Chen Yi! Speak now, or I will pursue this to the end!"

The Purple Star Heavenly Dao remained silent, instead continuously manifesting figures—

Cui Changsheng, Ao Yuyuan, Qingqiu Jiuming, Sun Zhantian, Zhang Bairen…

These were the finest of their era, and behind them, countless more, slightly lesser but still formidable, densely packed beyond counting.

The churning clouds of the Immortal Ascension Tribulation gradually stilled.

What could it do?

What else could it do?

Each of these figures had once contributed greatly to the Immortal Realm. Through conflict and growth, they were shining medals of honor!

Brute force was out of the question.

If Chen Yi chose to hide, any effort would be wasted.

Was retreat the only option?

But he’d stolen so much Chaos essence! If left unchecked, next time he’d be even more outrageous!

Letting him escape like this—unacceptable!

Just as the tribulation debated whether to escalate—

Suddenly!

History repeated itself flawlessly.

A ghostly figure materialized silently behind the Immortal Ascension Tribulation Clouds and, before it could react, struck!

Admittedly, after being ambushed once, the tribulation had relocated its Chaos Origin Thunder Pool—sneaky indeed!

But what did that matter?

Chen Yi had been observing for a long time, ensuring a sure hit before making his move.

Precision strike! Another small sip, and the pool’s level visibly dropped again.

"Don’t be stingy! Thanks for the meal~"

Full and satisfied, Chen Yi even patted the cloud-body politely before leaving.

RUMBLE!!!

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation was apoplectic. He’d done it again?!

HOW DARE HE?!

Without hesitation, it pursued Chen Yi with murderous intent!

After leading the tribulation clouds back into the Void Domain, Chen Yi—still savoring the aftertaste—dropped all pretense. He condensed a wisp of Chaos essence into a five-star Chaos doppelganger and tossed it out, letting it play a game of "chase me, catch me, and if you do, you can have your fun" with the tribulation.

A bit wasteful? Maybe. But it was the only way to appease the tribulation’s wrath.

Just like before—let the five-star clone lead the tribulation on a months-long chase, cooling its fiery temper, before finally letting it vent by obliterating the clone. Only then would this end.

"Have fun! I’ll be back!"

Watching the Immortal Ascension Tribulation relentlessly chase after the Five-Star Doppelganger into the distance, Chen Yi's true form allowed a faint smile to curl his lips as his figure gradually faded, slowly withdrawing from this segment of history.
