The strength of Chen Yi’s two-star avatar was far beyond the norm!
While vastly exceeding the limits of the mortal realm, it had yet to condense an immortal body to evade heavenly tribulation—naturally drawing the attention of the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
Boom!!!
A deep, rumbling thunder echoed from beyond the Western Sea Realm. At first, it sounded like distant drums, but upon closer listening, it struck like a heavy hammer against the soul, stirring uncontrollable panic.
Crack!
The heavens split open. The dark clouds formed by the Western Sea’s heavenly laws instantly scattered, revealing a swirling mass of tribulation clouds—home to purple lightning dragons.
A terrifying pressure descended, like the gaze of an unfathomably vast beast awakening to peer down upon all living beings within the Western Sea Realm.
"Old friend, what a surprise—it’s me again!"
Chen Yi greeted the familiar foe with enthusiasm before swiftly retreating, urging the chat system to open a portal.
The precious Immortal Dao Essence he had painstakingly obtained couldn’t be left behind for that damned tribulation to claim!
Meanwhile, the previously indifferent Immortal Ascension Tribulation froze for a moment, as if confirming something, then immediately surged into the Western Sea Realm!
But it was too late.
The portal had already opened!
"Hahaha, you lose again!"
Chen Yi laughed heartily before leaning back and vanishing without a trace.
BOOM!!!
Sensing Chen Yi’s presence slipping away once more, the tribulation grew frantic. It skipped the usual forty-nine strikes of Violet Heaven Divine Lightning and instead hurled a single bolt of Primordial Chaos Divine Lightning straight at the portal!
The half-closed portal swallowed most of the thunderous force, while the remaining energy exploded outward, annihilating half of the Western Sea Divine Domain in an instant.
But Chen Yi was gone—nowhere to be found by the furious tribulation.
BOOM!!!
Deafening thunder roared as the overwhelming pressure shook heaven and earth. The tribulation clouds churned violently, refusing to disperse.
The God of Light was utterly terrified, fearing the monstrous tribulation might turn its gaze upon him.
Legends spoke of ascension to the Supreme Divine Realm from the Western Sea Realm, but those were tales from a distant past.
After the previous Divine Domain Lord ascended, the current God of Light had chosen to remain and enjoy his reign rather than start anew in the Supreme Divine Realm.
Yet who could have imagined that damned Outer Realm Demon would summon a trial from the Supreme Divine Realm itself?!
Wuwuwu... That divine lightning was horrifying.
That damned Outer Realm Demon not only stole treasures but also wanted him dead...
You truly deserve death!!!

Meanwhile, inside the teleportation channel...
"The tribulation is still chasing me, dammit!"
Chen Yi’s two-star avatar dodged frantically as the heavily weakened Primordial Chaos Divine Lightning pursued him relentlessly.
He hadn’t expected the tribulation to abandon all rules, skipping straight to the fiftieth strike—Primordial Chaos Divine Lightning—with no regard for fairness!
His two-star avatar couldn’t withstand it. A direct hit would erase him instantly, and the hard-earned Immortal Dao Essence would be lost to the void.
Fortunately, his speed and years of experience evading the tribulation kept him ahead—for now.
But his energy was depleting fast. Unlike his true self, the avatar lacked an infinite energy reserve. It was only a matter of time before the lightning caught up.
The Primordial Chaos Lightning Dragon, infused with a wisp of the tribulation’s will, thrummed with excitement. It had never managed to kill a "Chen Yi" before, but today... this one wouldn’t escape!
Back in the Illusory Star Cave Heaven, Chen Yi’s true form pondered briefly before summoning twenty-seven one-star avatars. They charged into the portal, racing from the endpoint back toward the start.
Normally, the teleportation channel was short—barely two and a half seconds to traverse.
But the Primordial Chaos Lightning had forcibly stretched it beyond its limits, warping it into an endless path.
Unless the lightning was neutralized, the two-star avatar would never escape.
Soon, the twenty-seven one-star avatars arrived at the scene. Facing the raging lightning, they immediately began merging and evolving!
Fizz—!
Twenty-seven one-star avatars fused into nine two-star avatars, then into three three-star avatars, until finally—a four-star avatar emerged!
In an instant, overwhelming power erupted, shattering the teleportation channel and plunging everything into the space-time rift.
BOOM!!!
The lightning dragon, now a colossal beast, sensed the stronger presence and abandoned the two-star avatar, roaring as it lunged at the four-star version.
"Perfect timing!"
Chen Yi had been itching to test the lightning’s might.
Before, he’d avoided confrontation, unsure how many strikes the tribulation could unleash. But now? This was just a single stray bolt—no need to hold back!
Fist forward—
This strike would pierce the heavens!
Fizz—!!!
Within the space-time rift, the massive lightning dragon disintegrated into nothingness.
The four-star avatar, wielding 60% of the true self’s power, stood unharmed—only slightly drained, its form less solid than before.
"Tsk, that was no joke!"
Back in the Illusory Star Cave Heaven, Chen Yi inhaled sharply.
A single weakened Primordial Chaos strike had consumed 30% of the four-star avatar’s energy. Facing the full tribulation, it might withstand two and a half strikes at most.
Even with all his avatars combined, they couldn’t survive more than five. The rest would fall to his true self.
If the latest celestial divinations were correct—that eighty-one strikes marked the limit—then after forty-nine Violet Heaven strikes, would thirty-two Primordial Chaos strikes follow?
If so, Chen Yi was confident he could fight.
But was that truly the case?
Countless past cultivators had divined forty-nine Violet Heaven strikes as the limit.
Yet after eighty-one battles, Chen Yi had endured all forty-nine—only to face the even deadlier Primordial Chaos Lightning!
Had the Immortal Realm never imagined someone from the barren lower world could survive forty-nine Violet Heaven strikes?
Now they hastily "updated" the divination to eighty-one?
Did they think he’d believe that?
Just how many dirty tricks were they hiding up there?!
Chen Yi’s gaze darkened. After a long silence, he sighed softly.
"Fine. If you won’t welcome me, I won’t force it. The chat system can exchange Immortal Spirit Stones anyway..."
Just then, his disbanded avatars returned.
It was unavoidable. The Purple Star Continent’s laws were too incomplete to sustain two-star avatars, and the cave’s formations were already dedicated to supporting his true self.
Thus, whether four-star or two-star, all had dissolved back into their base forms—one-star avatars with peak combat power.
"Hmm. This pool of Immortal Liquid is roughly equivalent to 365 Immortal Spirit Stones—enough to refine three one-star avatars into immortal bodies. Not a bad haul."
Surveying the Immortal Dao Essence harvested from the Western Sea Realm, Chen Yi nodded in satisfaction.
With a swift wave of his hand, the three one-star clones instantly transformed into purple orbs and descended into it, beginning the process of refinement and nurturing.
The transformation from a mortal body to an immortal physique was an excruciatingly slow process, but this was merely the beginning—the subsequent nurturing and advanced cultivation would be the true challenge!
However, the lower realm was barren, and the essence of the immortal path was scarce. Opportunities like stumbling upon a pseudo-immortal realm didn’t come every day. He still needed to find more ways to expand his resources!
With this thought in mind, Chen Yi, his hands still burning with fervor, immediately opened the chat group panel once more.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
