"Did I agree?"
Shen Fei's voice was flat.
But in the center of this lightning tribulation that made even heaven and earth tremble, this flat sentence revealed an arrogance more domineering than the might of heaven itself.
Li Miaoyuan stared fixedly at Shen Fei.
He simply couldn't understand where a mortal demon got the courage to forcefully intrude upon this high-dimensional immortal heavenly punishment, something that was the exclusive patent of immortal cultivators!
"A reckless madman like you..."
Li Miaoyuan gritted his teeth.
Before he could finish his sentence.
Boom!!!
Deep in the sky.
The first thick heavenly lightning, carrying a destructive purple-gold light, tore through the pitch-black tribulation clouds like a furious giant dragon and struck straight down toward the top of Li Miaoyuan's head!
The heavenly might was vast and mighty!
The entire volcanic island trembled violently under this flash of lightning.
Li Miaoyuan couldn't care less about Shen Fei anymore.
He frantically circulated the newly formed Golden Core within his body, forcing all of his spiritual energy out without reservation to form a thick, golden spiritual energy shield.
Bang—Crack!
The lightning smashed fiercely against the shield!
The blindingly intense light instantly drained the color from everything around them.
Li Miaoyuan let out a miserable shriek.
His shield, which was strong enough to withstand a missile strike, lasted for less than two seconds against the heavenly lightning before shattering with a loud boom.
The residual power of the lightning struck his body mercilessly.
His Daoist robe instantly turned to ashes, his flesh was scorched black, and his entire body was smashed heavily against the boiling hot volcanic rock like a broken sack.
Blood sprayed wildly.
But he didn't die.
The formidable physical body and the massive reserve of spiritual energy of the Golden Core stage allowed him to forcefully endure this first baptism.
As long as he survived two more strikes, he would be bathed in the guiding divine light and completely transcend this mortal realm!
Li Miaoyuan struggled to climb up from the ground.
Ignoring the intense pain all over his body, he weakly turned his head to look at where Shen Fei had just been standing.
He thought that Shen Fei must have been struck into a pile of flying ash by the aftermath of the heavenly lightning.
However.
The moment his vision cleared.
Li Miaoyuan's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpricks!
Shen Fei was still there.
Not only was he there, but he hadn't even moved an inch!
When the terrifying aftermath of the heavenly lightning touched the invisible black light barrier surrounding Shen Fei's body, it strangely slid off to the sides like water droplets falling on a lotus leaf!
Heavenly Demon Spirit Protection Cover.
A top-tier defensive item produced by the system, it perfectly resisted the collateral lock-on of this high-dimensional law.
Shen Fei stood amidst the sky full of lightning and swirling volcanic ash.
He looked at Li Miaoyuan, who had just climbed up from the ground, heavily injured and vomiting blood.
Without any nonsense.
Shen Fei moved.
The violent dark-gold Heavenly Demon spiritual energy completely erupted without reservation at this moment!
Boom!
The rock beneath Shen Fei's feet instantly exploded into powder.
His entire body transformed into a streak of black lightning, pushing against the terrifying pressure of the second heavenly lightning still brewing in the sky.
He charged directly into the core area of the lightning tribulation!
His speed was pushed to the absolute extreme!
Li Miaoyuan didn't even have time to form a defensive hand seal.
Shen Fei had already appeared in front of him.
Right fist.
Clenched tight.
"Want to ascend?"
Shen Fei's eyes were as cold as blades.
A heavy Heavenly Demon punch containing the full cultivation base of a half-step Golden Core.
Fiercely!
Blasted right into the center of Li Miaoyuan's chest!
Bang!!!
The teeth-aching sound of bones shattering was clearly audible amidst the thunder.
Li Miaoyuan's newly formed Golden Core, under this unreasonable and domineering dual physical and spiritual strike.
Actually let out an overwhelmed wail!
A tiny crack appeared on the Golden Core!
Pfft—
Li Miaoyuan wildly sprayed out a large mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs.
His entire chest cavity caved in horrifyingly from this punch.
All his ribs were broken.
His heart was nearly shattered.
His whole body flew backward like a cannonball shot from its barrel.
He flew a full dozen meters away, crashing heavily at the very edge of the area covered by the tribulation clouds.
"Ugh... cough cough..."
Li Miaoyuan lay on the ground, vomiting large mouthfuls of blood.
His eyes were finally filled with genuine, bone-deep terror.
How is this possible...
Under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao's laws, how could this demon still unleash such terrifying power?!
This was not a mortal at all!
This was a high-dimensional monster even more terrifying than him, a Golden Core stage cultivator!
Shen Fei pulled back his fist.
He glanced at his right hand, at the few tiny wounds that had split open from forcefully breaking through the Heavenly Dao's suppression.
Black blood seeped out, but it was quickly auto-repaired by his Heavenly Demon true qi.
Killing someone while resisting heavenly punishment was indeed a bit strenuous.
But it was only a bit strenuous, nothing more.
Shen Fei stepped forward coldly, walking toward the dying Li Miaoyuan lying on the ground.
"Next life."
Shen Fei walked up to Li Miaoyuan.
He reached out his left hand.
Coldly preparing to directly snap the neck of this SSSS-rank Child of Destiny.
To end this pursuit that had lasted for two months.
Just at the critical moment when Shen Fei's fingers were about to touch Li Miaoyuan's throat!
Rumble—!!!
Deep in the sky.
The second and third heavenly lightning strikes surprisingly did not follow the common sense of the cultivation world by pausing to accumulate power.
Instead, bizarrely, they struck down at the exact same time!
Moreover, the target of these two lightning strikes was not to test Li Miaoyuan.
But they struck directly toward Shen Fei!
The Heavenly Dao had sensed that the ultimate Child of Destiny it protected was about to fall, so it finally tore off all pretense and began to forcefully and unreasonably intervene!
Extreme Danger Alarm!!!
Heavenly Demon Spirit Protection Cover energy depleted!
Host has been completely locked onto by the high-dimensional laws of the upper realm!
The system's piercing alarm sounded frantically.
Shen Fei abruptly looked up.
The two thick purple-gold thunderbolts, carrying world-destroying power, were already close at hand.
If he took such heavenly might head-on, even his Heavenly Demon Body would be instantly severely injured.
Without any hesitation, Shen Fei decisively abandoned killing Li Miaoyuan, and his body instantly retreated backward at breakneck speed.
Boom! Boom!
The two heavenly lightning strikes slammed fiercely into the spot where Shen Fei had just been standing.
This cliff on the volcanic island was directly blasted into a bottomless giant crater.
And in this brief second that Shen Fei retreated.
Another sudden change occurred!
In the sky, the thick, pitch-black tribulation clouds.
Were unexpectedly split forcefully down the middle, as if by an invisible sharp sword.
A dazzling, pure golden pillar of light, exuding an endless aura of high dimensions.
Shone straight down from the rift in the void!
The guiding divine light!
This was not the normal ascension channel drawn in after Li Miaoyuan successfully passed the tribulation.
This was the Heavenly Dao recklessly and forcefully activating the emergency guiding sequence upon sensing that the Child of Destiny was on the verge of death!
The golden pillar of light accurately enveloped Li Miaoyuan, who was lying on the ground.
A massive, irresistible spatial repulsive force instantly lifted Li Miaoyuan from the ground.
Shen Fei steadied his body.
Looking at that guiding pillar of light.
He let out a cold, ruthless sneer.
"Trying to run?"
Shen Fei's feet exerted a sudden burst of force, fully unleashing his dark-gold Heavenly Demon spiritual energy.
He once again turned into a blur, charging straight toward that golden guiding divine light.
He was going to forcefully drag Li Miaoyuan right out of that pillar of light!
Buzz!
Shen Fei's right hand violently thrust into the Ascension Light!
But.
The moment his fingers were about to touch Li Miaoyuan's body.
A terrifying, absolute repulsive force of the Upper Realm's Heavenly Dao slammed into Shen Fei's arm like a hundred thousand mountains.
Bang!
Shen Fei's arm jolted violently.
The Heavenly Demon spiritual energy wrapping his arm was, in a rare occurrence, completely shattered by the impact of this higher-dimensional law!
The webbing between his thumb and index finger split open.
The massive rebound force knocked Shen Fei back half a step.
This was no longer a clash of raw power.
This was the absolute rejection of the world's rules.
Mortal power could not harm an ascendant who had already been marked by the Upper Realm's Heavenly Dao within the Ascension Light.
Unless Shen Fei forcibly triggered his own ascension lightning tribulation right now to fight back with equal higher-dimensional laws.
Shen Fei stopped in his tracks.
He looked at his slightly numb right hand.
He did not continue to attack.
He knew it was impossible.
He decisively gave up on the futile attempt.
In mid-air.
Held aloft by the Ascension Light, Li Miaoyuan slowly rose toward the Gate of the Void.
He was coughing up mouthfuls of blood.
The agonizing pain from his caved-in chest nearly made him pass out.
But looking down at Shen Fei, who had suffered a rare setback.
A twisted, crazed smile suddenly bloomed on Li Miaoyuan's bloodied and charred face.
He knew he had survived.
The Heavenly Dao had saved him!
He won!
Li Miaoyuan stared fixedly at Shen Fei.
Those pure golden eyes were filled with an extreme hatred that could not be washed away even if all the water in the rivers and lakes were poured over it.
He raised his hand with great difficulty.
Bit the tip of his tongue.
Using his last trace of spiritual energy, he viciously drew a blood rune in the empty air before him.
This was the most vicious blood curse of an immortal cultivator.
Shen Fei...
Li Miaoyuan's voice, amplified by his spiritual energy, hoarsely pierced through the isolation of the Ascension Light.
It echoed in the sky above the entire volcanic island.
You killed my fellow disciples, destroyed my legacy...
The hatred of today...
Half of Li Miaoyuan's body had already submerged into the Gate of the Void.
He looked at the cold man below, who stood like a demon god.
I will wait for you in the Upper Realm!
I will exterminate your ten generations! I will grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes, ensuring you never reincarnate!!!
The venomous blood curse.
As Li Miaoyuan's voice fell, it turned into a faint streak of blood light, attempting to rush toward Shen Fei.
But before it could even get close, Shen Fei casually waved his hand, completely dispersing it with his Heavenly Demon True Qi.
The Upper Realm?
Shen Fei looked at the Gate of the Void.
His eyes were profound.
There was no impotent rage. There was no emotional loss of control over the fact that his prey had escaped.
He merely watched calmly as Li Miaoyuan finally disappeared into the void rift.
I'll be waiting.
Shen Fei uttered the words extremely lightly.
Boom!
With Li Miaoyuan's departure.
The Ascension Light instantly vanished.
The thick tribulation clouds in the sky, filled with an aura of destruction, also rapidly dispersed in a very short time.
Sunlight once again pierced through the clouds, shining on this riddled volcanic island.
The lightning tribulation was over.
The sound of the Pacific Ocean's waves entered his ears once more.
Shen Fei stood on the devastated cliff.
Surrounding him were the four unrecognizable corpses of the small fry, burned by the aftermath of the heavenly lightning.
He withdrew his gaze.
He took out a fresh handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood off his right hand.
Then, he casually tossed the handkerchief into the still-churning magma lake below.
He ran away.
Forcibly saved by the heavens using a cheat.
This meant that in the Upper Realm arc of the fifth volume.
He would not only have to face a Golden Core stage protagonist who was familiar with the Upper Realm's laws and had a very long time to develop.
But also face an entirely unfamiliar, higher-dimensional world.
But so what?
Shen Fei turned around.
His black trench coat flapped wildly in the sea breeze.
He walked calmly toward the beach where the seaplane had landed.
No rush.
Shen Fei's steps were steady.
He clearly calculated his next plans in his mind.
Before going to the Upper Realm, he should finish resolving matters here first.

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!
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?!
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
