Give me a chance, you know, I had no choice before

Chen Yi never fought a battle he wasn’t confident in winning. Originally, he had planned to endure this time, but the Heavenly Tribulation for Immortality had to go and dangle its weakness right in front of him!

What was he supposed to do about that?

He was already frustrated about not having harvested enough Chaos Divine Thunder essence, and now the Heavenly Tribulation had the audacity to block his doorstep...

How could he possibly hold back?

So, he had to find a way to pull off a heist!

Earlier, when the Heavenly Tribulation had briefly opened its shell, Chen Yi had caught a glimpse of the Chaos Thunder Pool hidden deep within its core. That image had been seared into his mind ever since.

He had originally planned to bide his time and strike hard during his eighty-third tribulation, but now, the opportunity had come early...

Enough was enough—no need to hold back any longer!

Time to act!

And as it turned out, he succeeded brilliantly!

By mastering a method to evade the Heavenly Tribulation’s "gaze," he achieved a peculiar form of invisibility in its presence.

Thus, he managed to sneak right up to the edge of the tribulation clouds without being detected!

With one decisive strike, he sucked in a massive gulp of essence and immediately fled!

This round... he struck gold!

He had harvested enough essence to forge forty-nine fully matured Chaos Divine Thunders!

And this was only the limit of his capacity—not the Heavenly Tribulation’s.

That thing’s Chaos Thunder Pool contained enough primordial essence to condense tens of thousands of Chaos Divine Thunders!

What he had taken was barely a drop in the ocean!

This only proved one thing: the Heavenly Tribulation had never intended to let him survive!

All that nonsense about eighty-one tribulations being the limit? Pure lies!

"Damn it, the Heavenly Tribulation is still chasing me!"

In the endless expanse of the void, Chen Yi darted and weaved as he fled at breakneck speed.

Behind him, the vast tribulation clouds surged forward with unstoppable force, using nine terrifying Chaos Divine Thunders to clear the path, ensuring Chen Yi never left its sight!

BOOM!!!

The most fearsome thunder roared, shattering the heaviest darkness.

But no matter how overwhelming the attack, Chen Yi was just too slippery. As long as he didn’t want a direct confrontation, he could always twist away at some bizarre angle to evade the Chaos Divine Thunders!

No matter. As long as he remained within sight, exhaustion would eventually catch up to him!

How dare this brat sneak into the Chaos Thunder Pool and steal its primordial essence?

Absolutely unforgivable!

Just wait until he runs out of steam—then he’ll see what true divine punishment looks like!

The Heavenly Tribulation seemed to have made up its mind, patiently pursuing Chen Yi with relentless determination.

On the other side, Chen Yi remained completely unfazed.

He only fought battles he was certain to win!

Since he had dared to make his move, he had already prepared a flawless escape plan.

The moon wanes when full; water overflows when brimming. Eating too much leads to indigestion—so he had to spit out a little to digest properly.

To make a clean getaway this time, he needed to create a five-star doppelgänger to act as a scapegoat, drawing all the Heavenly Tribulation’s fury onto itself.

Admittedly, Chen Yi had provoked the Heavenly Tribulation beyond reason this time. If he didn’t let it vent its rage, it would hound him endlessly!

And so, while leading the Heavenly Tribulation on a wild chase, Chen Yi secretly used the stolen Chaos Divine Thunder essence to forge a new doppelgänger.

This time, he had taken so much essence that he could afford to be wasteful, drastically speeding up the process.

Finally, after being pursued relentlessly for over a thousand hours, Chen Yi began to show signs of exhaustion. His speed gradually slowed until a Chaos Divine Thunder struck him, sending him tumbling through the void before crashing into a dense fog of nebulous energy.

The Heavenly Tribulation clouds immediately perked up.

Locking onto Chen Yi’s position, it swiftly dispersed the surrounding energy, encircling him with fiery intensity.

BOOM!!!

Chaos Divine Thunders filled every direction, sealing off all escape routes.

Faced with this scene, Chen Yi gave a bitter smile. "Quite efficient. You’ve been planning this for a while, huh?"

The Heavenly Tribulation replied with faint amusement, "Eighty-one times. I’ve learned a thing or two."

Chen Yi met its gaze calmly. "This Heavenly Tribulation of yours is fascinating. What exactly does it take to pass the test? Is the eighty-one-fold tribulation the final standard?"

The Heavenly Tribulation paused before answering cryptically, "Rules are rules. No further explanation."

"What rules? Who set them?"

"Face your final trial."

Chen Yi fell silent for a moment, then said, "Give me a chance."

"What chance?"

"You know—before, I had no choice. Now, I want to be a good man."

"Impossible. One escape might have been overlooked, but eighty-one? Unforgivable."

"So you’re saying I have to die?"

"Apologies. Rules are rules."

"What damn rules?! You—!"

BOOM!!!

The Chaos Divine Thunders descended instantly!

Naturally, Chen Yi wouldn’t just sit and wait for death—that would be too obvious.

Instead, he met the attack bare-handed!

"Extreme Fist Art—Tribulation Defiance!!!"

ZZZT!!!

When his fist clashed with the Chaos Divine Thunder, there was no explosive shockwave—only the birth of a peculiar singularity.

In an instant, an unimaginable gravitational force erupted, warping space and devouring everything in its reach!

The surrounding Chaos Divine Thunders disintegrated, transforming into dazzling streams of energy that spiraled into the singularity.

Chen Yi’s body also crumbled bit by bit, reduced to dust and swallowed by the anomaly.

Finally, after absorbing too much energy, the singularity began to swell unnaturally—

KABOOM!!!

With a deafening blast, the overinflated singularity exploded, sending a catastrophic gravitational wave rippling outward.

And thus, a new universe was born.

At the epicenter, the Heavenly Tribulation clouds remained unshaken, utterly unaffected by the distorted forces.

It simply watched the explosion in silence, waiting until the aura of the fugitive had completely vanished before letting out a sigh of regret.

"A fine specimen... Pity he was born in the wrong place. What a waste..."

With those words, the vast tribulation clouds dissipated into the void.

All that remained was a newborn universe, roaring as it expanded, its gravitational field distorting everything in its path.

Some time later...

A crack slowly opened in the void, revealing a pair of deep, calculating eyes peering out cautiously.

Only after confirming that the Heavenly Tribulation was truly gone did Chen Yi finally exhale in relief.

"Whew..."

"All that effort to forge a five-star doppelgänger, and it’s gone before it could even be used... Damn you, Heavenly Tribulation. Just you wait—one day, I’ll storm your gates and see if these ‘rules’ can’t be rewritten!"

Chen Yi seethed silently.

This time, all forty-eight of his doppelgänger spirit pearls had been destroyed, reverting his main body—which lacked an internal spiritual circulation—back to square one. His path to immortality had been reset...

Fortunately, the primordial essence he had stolen this time was more than enough to quickly forge new doppelgängers and reclaim his longevity. Otherwise, this would have been a catastrophic loss!

"Tch... Only eighty percent of the Chaos Divine Thunder essence remains. At the False Immortal stage, that’s enough to forge about three hundred and sixty one-star doppelgängers..."

"No, that won’t do. Quantity isn’t the issue—quality is. Weak foundations mean weak fusion results. Better to aim for True Immortal-stage doppelgängers from the start."

"But breaking through to the True Immortal realm requires nurturing laws, transforming the internal cycle into a so-called ‘Dao Domain’..."

"This process requires high-level law samples as fertile soil. The law fragments dropped from the thirty-three exorcism dungeons in the chat group are decent—at least they’re of Golden Immortal tier or higher. But the law samples derived from the Immortal Ascension Tribulation can truly elevate things to unimaginable heights!"

"Perfect timing—I just harvested a bit of the Heavenly Punishment’s law essence from the tribulation. Its tier is undoubtedly far beyond that of a Golden Immortal!"

"Heh, Immortal Ascension Tribulation, you thought I perished, didn’t you? When we meet again, I hope you won’t be too shocked..."
