Chapter 591: Ancient Clans Ahead, Hidden Realms Behind

The Thunder Cultivation Method King had spent his life wielding lightning to save humanity, yet now he was struck by the Heaven-Sundering Lightning Tribulation a few times and immediately fell lifeless. To Lin Fan, this was terrifying.

“How many strikes does this Heaven-Sundering Lightning Tribulation have?” Lin Fan directly asked Fairy Hongyun.

The Thunder Master, who had spent his life mastering electricity to save the world, now lay lifeless after being struck by the cave’s heavenly thunder tribulation. To Lin Fan, this was terrifying.

“How many strikes does this cave’s thunder tribulation have?” Lin Fan directly asked the Red Cloud Fairy.

Inside the cave, thunder flashed ominously, the immense power of the lightning was both awe-inspiring and fear-inducing.

This was the most challenging emergency Lin Fan had ever encountered; a misstep could lead to complete annihilation.

Especially in this situation, even the system couldn’t help, as this was a necessary trial in cultivation.

However, upon hearing the Red Cloud Fairy’s words, Lin Fan’s heart shattered.

“As many as the spiritual energy storms, so are the strikes of the cave’s thunder tribulation,” the Red Cloud Fairy said, her face filled with worry. She never expected to witness such a thunder tribulation in her lifetime.

If Lin Fan could survive this terrifying tribulation, his future achievements would be limitless, and the strength of his cave would surpass all imagination.

Elder Yunhe’s gaze at Lin Fan was also filled with terror.

They knew that if Lin Fan failed to endure the tribulation, leading to the destruction of the cave, the violent force of the tribulation could annihilate them all.

Even the Water-Fire Secret Realm could be obliterated.

However, they didn’t mention this to Lin Fan, sensing his unfamiliarity with the cave’s thunder tribulation. If any issues arose, they could explain and increase his chances of survival.

But given the current situation, the odds were grim.

“This…” Hearing this, Lin Fan’s face paled momentarily, but he quickly regained composure, a surge of fighting spirit rising within him.

“My life is tough; how could I be killed by these thunder tribulations? No matter what, I must endure,” Lin Fan gritted his teeth, ready to give it his all.

Outside.

The ancient clan’s army had been waiting for a long time.

“These beings from the myriad races have entered the Water-Fire Secret Realm and must have obtained treasures. But they would never expect that the exit is now surrounded by our ancient clan,” a member of the ancient clan sneered, looking at the torn entrance.

The ancient clan had completely surrounded the exit, ensuring no escape.

Looking out, it was pitch black, with roars shaking the heavens, including many powerful members of the ancient clan.

If any beings from the myriad races saw the dense numbers of the ancient clan, they would be terrified and flee in panic.

When the ancient clan’s army appears, the myriad races retreat.

“Commander, should we wait outside or go in and slaughter those beings?” asked a fierce-looking ancient clan captain, his eyes like those of bloodthirsty demons.

“To deal with these insignificant beings, I alone could annihilate them all. But to make them understand the might of the ancient clan, I will lead a few hundred troops to suppress them,” the ancient clan commander said coldly, exuding a formidable aura.

This time, the ancient clan had sent ten commanders, all the most fearsome subordinates under the throne of the Mighty King.

The Mighty King was slain by Lin Fan, and the supreme leader of the ancient clan had effortlessly created a new Mighty King to expand their territory and slaughter the beings of the myriad races.

To the supreme leader of the ancient clan, puppets like the Despair Marquis, who provided power, were expendable.

When prey clings to a sliver of hope, only to be plunged into despair, the power they provide becomes even stronger.

“Commander, look, the beings from the myriad races are coming out,” an ancient clan member shouted, pointing at the lights deep within the crack.

The ten ancient clan commanders saw the lights from the secret realm and smirked.

“Since they’re delivering themselves to us, all the better. When they come out, kill them all,” the ancient clan commander ordered.

“Yes, Commander!” the ancient clan members roared with fervor, their morale soaring to the heavens.

“Lin Fan, how are you holding up?” the Red Cloud Fairy asked with concern, noticing Lin Fan’s increasingly pale face.

“I can still hold on,” Lin Fan replied, though his situation was dire. All the spiritual artifacts the Red Cloud Fairy had given him had been destroyed by the terrifying thunder.

There was no room for resistance.

Although these were just spiritual artifacts, they were the personal treasures of the Water-Fire Emperor, imbued with his martial will.

Yet, even these were obliterated by the fearsome thunder tribulation.

“Elder…” At that moment, over a dozen figures suddenly appeared from below.

These were disciples of the Cloud Sect, mostly those who hadn’t passed the trials. When they were sucked into the vortex and regained consciousness, they found themselves outside.

They had been waiting and, upon seeing the elders, followed them.

“What’s wrong with him?” Tian Yun asked nervously, noticing Lin Fan’s ghastly pallor.

Although he had minor conflicts with Lin Fan before, Lin Fan had stepped in to shield him from his senior’s humiliation, so he had forgiven Lin Fan, thinking he was a decent human.

“He’s facing the cave’s thunder tribulation; it’s urgent,” the Red Cloud Fairy explained.

“The cave’s thunder tribulation?” Tian Yun knew about it but was slightly puzzled. “That’s odd. Although the cave’s thunder tribulation is dangerous, with his strength, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

In Tian Yun’s view, even for the most talented, while the cave’s thunder tribulation posed some risk, there was still a good chance of survival.

“His cave has thousands of spiritual energy storms; the situation is out of control. It’s all up to fate now,” the Red Cloud Fairy said.

Hearing this, Tian Yun nearly spat out blood.

Even if he hadn’t experienced it, he had heard of it.

The cave’s thunder tribulation’s intensity is determined by the number of spiritual energy storms in the cave.

The Cloud Sect’s leader, with 188 spiritual energy storms, faced the most severe thunder tribulation in the sect’s history.

But hearing about thousands of spiritual energy storms, Tian Yun felt his mind go blank, his face showing deep terror.

Mu Qing and the other surviving disciples also looked at Lin Fan with shock.

But soon, their expressions turned to fear.

So terrifying!

If he failed, the cave would explode, and everyone would perish without a trace.

“Look, the ancient clan’s army is guarding the exit,” a disciple pointed into the distance, seeing the situation outside through the layers of light, and was terrified.

The vast, mountain-like ancient clan filled the entire horizon.

“We’re doomed; even if we get out, we’ll die.”

“What do we do? We didn’t expect to be surrounded by the ancient clan.”

Elder Yunhe, seeing this, was also greatly anxious, unsure of what to do. In such a situation, how could they possibly break through?

Especially outside, where ten ancient clan members stood at the entrance, their aura as heavy as mountains, pressing down on the heavens.

This was the most perilous unexpected crisis Lin Fan had ever encountered—failure meant total annihilation of both body and soul.

Especially in a situation like this, even the system couldn’t help, as this was a trial inherent to cultivation.

But when he heard Hongyun’s words, Lin Fan’s heart shattered instantly.

The Thunder Master, who had spent his life manipulating electricity to save the world, now lay lifeless after being struck by the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation of the cave. To Lin Fan, this was utterly terrifying.

“How many strikes does this Heavenly Thunder Tribulation have?” Lin Fan directly asked the Red Cloud Fairy.

Inside the cave, lightning flashed ominously, and the immense power of the thunder was both awe-inspiring and fear-inducing.

This was the most challenging crisis Lin Fan had ever faced. If he failed, he could be utterly annihilated, both in body and spirit.

Even the system couldn’t help in this situation, as this was a necessary trial in cultivation.

But when Lin Fan heard the Red Cloud Fairy’s words, his heart shattered.

“The number of Heavenly Thunder Tribulations corresponds to the number of spiritual energy storms,” the Red Cloud Fairy said, her face filled with worry. She never expected to witness such a tribulation in her lifetime.

If Lin Fan could survive this terrifying thunder tribulation, his future achievements would be limitless, and the strength of his cave would surpass everyone’s imagination.

Elder Yunhe’s gaze at Lin Fan was also filled with fear.

They knew that if Lin Fan failed to endure the tribulation and the cave collapsed, the violent thunder would annihilate them all.

Even the Water-Fire Secret Realm could be obliterated.

However, they didn’t mention this to Lin Fan, as he seemed unfamiliar with the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. If something went wrong, they could explain and increase his chances of survival.

But given the current situation, the chances of survival were almost nonexistent.

“This…” Hearing this, Lin Fan’s face turned pale, but in an instant, he regained his composure, and an infinite fighting spirit surged within him.

“My life is tough. There’s no way these thunder strikes will kill me. No matter what, I must endure,” Lin Fan gritted his teeth, ready to give it his all.

Outside.

The ancient clan army had been waiting for a long time.

“These beings from the myriad races must have obtained treasures inside the Water-Fire Secret Realm. But they have no idea that the exit is already surrounded by our ancient clan,” one of the ancient clan members sneered, looking at the torn entrance.

The ancient clan had completely surrounded the exit, ensuring no one could escape.

Looking out, it was pitch black, with deafening roars, and among them were powerful ancient clan members.

If any beings from the myriad races saw the dense army of the ancient clan, they would be terrified and flee in panic.

When the ancient clan army appeared, the myriad races would retreat.

“Commander, should we wait outside or go in and slaughter those beings?” asked a fierce-looking ancient clan captain, his aura menacing, with eyes that seemed to house two bloodthirsty demons.

“To deal with these insignificant beings, I alone could annihilate them all. But to make them understand the might of the ancient clan, I will lead a hundred soldiers to suppress them,” the ancient clan commander said coldly, exuding a formidable presence.

This time, ten commanders of the ancient clan had come, all the most fearsome subordinates under the throne of the Mighty King.

The Mighty King had been slain by Lin Fan, and the supreme leader of the ancient clan had effortlessly created a new Mighty King to expand their territory and slaughter the myriad races.

To the supreme leader of the ancient clan, puppets like the Despair Marquis, who provided power, were expendable.

When prey clung to a sliver of hope, only to be plunged into despair, the power they provided would be even greater.

“Commander, look, the beings from the myriad races are coming out,” an ancient clan member shouted, pointing at the lights deep within the crack.

The ten ancient clan commanders saw the lights from the secret realm and smiled coldly.

“Since they’re delivering themselves to us, even better. Kill them all when they come out,” the commander ordered.

“Yes, Commander!” the ancient clan roared with high morale, their spirits soaring to the heavens.

“Lin Fan, how are you holding up?” the Red Cloud Fairy asked with concern, noticing Lin Fan’s increasingly pale face.

“I can still endure,” Lin Fan replied, though his situation was dire. The spiritual artifacts the Red Cloud Fairy had given him had all been destroyed by the terrifying thunder.

There was no room for resistance.

“He’s facing the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. It’s urgent,” the Red Cloud Fairy explained.

“The Heavenly Thunder Tribulation?” Tian Yun knew about it but was slightly puzzled. “But even though it’s dangerous, with his strength, he should be able to handle it.”

In Tian Yun’s view, even the most talented individuals faced some danger during the tribulation, but they usually had a good chance of surviving.

“His cave has thousands of spiritual energy storms. The situation is out of control. It’s all up to fate now,” the Red Cloud Fairy said.

Hearing this, Tian Yun almost spat out blood.

He had never seen such a thing before.

The Heavenly Thunder Tribulation’s intensity was determined by the number of spiritual energy storms in the cave.

The Cloud Sect’s leader, with 188 spiritual energy storms, had faced the most severe tribulation in the sect’s history.

But hearing about thousands of spiritual energy storms, Tian Yun felt his mind go blank, his face filled with deep terror.

Mu Qing and the other surviving disciples also looked at Lin Fan with shock.

But soon, their expressions turned to fear.

So terrifying!

If he failed and the cave exploded, everyone would perish without a trace.

“Look, the ancient clan army is guarding the entrance outside,” a disciple pointed into the distance, seeing the situation outside through the layers of light, and was utterly stunned.

The vast ancient clan army, like mountains, filled the entire horizon.

“We’re doomed. Even if we get out, we’ll die.”

“What do we do? We’re surrounded by the ancient clan.”

Elder Yunhe, seeing this, was also greatly anxious, unsure of what to do. How could they possibly break through?

Especially with the ten ancient clan members standing at the entrance, their auras as heavy as mountains, pressing down on the heavens and earth.

The Thunder Lord, who had spent his life mastering electricity to save the world, was now struck down by the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation in this cave realm. To Lin Fan, this was terrifying.

“How many strikes does this Heavenly Thunder Tribulation have?” Lin Fan directly asked the Red Cloud Fairy.

Inside the cave realm, thunderbolts flashed, and the immense power of the thunder was both shocking and fear-inducing.

This was the most challenging emergency Lin Fan had ever encountered. If things went wrong, he could be utterly annihilated.

Especially in this situation, even the system couldn’t help, as this was a necessary trial in cultivation.

But when Lin Fan heard what the Red Cloud Fairy said, his heart shattered.

“As many spiritual storms as there are, that’s how many Heavenly Thunder Tribulations there will be,” the Red Cloud Fairy said, her face filled with worry. She never expected to witness such a Heavenly Thunder Tribulation in her lifetime.

If Lin Fan could survive this terrifying tribulation, his future achievements would be limitless, and the strength of his cave realm would surpass everyone’s imagination.

Elder Yunhe’s gaze at Lin Fan was also filled with fear.

They knew that if Lin Fan failed to survive the tribulation and his cave realm was destroyed, the violent power of the thunder could obliterate them all.

Even the Water-Fire Secret Realm could be reduced to nothing.

However, they didn’t tell Lin Fan this. They sensed that Lin Fan seemed unfamiliar with the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. If something went wrong midway, they could explain and increase his chances of survival.

But given the current situation, the chances were slim to none.

“This…” Hearing this, Lin Fan’s face turned pale, but in an instant, it returned to normal, and an endless fighting spirit surged within him.

“My life is tough. How could I be killed by these thunder tribulations? No matter what, I must endure,” Lin Fan gritted his teeth, ready to give it his all.

Outside.

The ancient clan army had been waiting for a long time.

“These beings from the myriad races have entered the Water-Fire Secret Realm and must have obtained treasures. But they would never expect that the exit is now surrounded by our ancient clan,” an ancient clan member sneered, looking at the torn entrance.

“To deal with these insignificant beings, I alone could slaughter them all. But to make them understand the might of the ancient clan, I will lead a few hundred soldiers to suppress them,” the ancient clan commander said coldly, exuding a fearsome presence.

This time, the ancient clan had sent ten commanders, all the most ferocious subordinates under the throne of the Mighty King.

The Mighty King had been slain by Lin Fan, and the ancient clan’s supreme leader had casually created a new Mighty King to expand their territory and slaughter the myriad races.

To the ancient clan’s supreme leader, puppets like the Despair Marquis, who provided power, were expendable.

When prey clings to a sliver of hope, only to be plunged into despair, the power they provide becomes even greater.

“Since they’re delivering themselves to us, all the better. Kill them all when they come out,” the ancient clan commander ordered.

“Yes, Commander!” the ancient clan members roared with fervor, their momentum soaring to the heavens.

“Lin Fan, how are you holding up?” the Red Cloud Fairy asked with concern, seeing Lin Fan’s face grow paler.

“I can still hold on,” Lin Fan replied, though his situation was dire. All the spiritual artifacts the Red Cloud Fairy had given him had been destroyed by the terrifying thunder.

There was no room for resistance.

Though these were just spiritual artifacts, they were the personal treasures of the Water-Fire Emperor, imbued with his martial will.

“Elders…” At that moment, over a dozen figures suddenly appeared from below.

These were disciples of the Cloud Sect, mostly those who had failed the trials. When they were sucked into the vortex and regained consciousness, they found themselves outside.

They had been waiting and caught up when they saw the elders.

“What’s wrong with him?” Tian Yun asked nervously, seeing Lin Fan’s ghastly expression.

Though he had minor conflicts with Lin Fan before, Lin Fan had stood up for him against his senior’s humiliation, so he had forgiven Lin Fan and thought well of him.

“He’s facing the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, and it’s critical,” the Red Cloud Fairy explained.

“The Heavenly Thunder Tribulation?” Tian Yun knew of it but was slightly puzzled. “But that’s strange. Although the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation is dangerous, given his strength, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

In Tian Yun’s view, even the most talented individuals faced some danger during the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, but they usually had a good chance of surviving.

So terrifying!

If he failed and the cave realm exploded, everyone would perish without a trace.

“Look, the ancient clan army is guarding the exit,” a disciple pointed into the distance, seeing the situation outside through the layers of light and was utterly stunned.

A vast, mountainous crowd of ancient clan members filled the entire horizon.

“We’re doomed. Even if we get out, we’re dead.”

“What do we do? We’re surrounded by the ancient clan.”

Elder Yunhe, seeing this, was also greatly anxious, unsure of what to do. How could they possibly break through?

Especially with the ten ancient clan members standing at the entrance, their auras as heavy as mountains, pressing down on the heavens and earth.

At this moment, Elder Yunhe looked at Lin Fan with a gaze filled with horror.

The Thunder Master, who had spent his life manipulating electricity to save the world, now lay lifeless after being struck by the heavenly thunder tribulation in this cave. To Lin Fan, this was nothing short of terrifying.

“How many strikes does this heavenly thunder tribulation have?” Lin Fan directly asked the Red Cloud Fairy.

Inside the cave, thunderbolts flashed ominously, their immense power striking fear into the hearts of all who witnessed it. This was the most perilous situation Lin Fan had ever encountered, one that could potentially annihilate both body and soul.

Even the system was of no help in this situation, as this was a necessary trial in the path of cultivation.

However, upon hearing the words of the Red Cloud Fairy, Lin Fan’s heart shattered instantly.

“The number of spiritual energy storms equals the number of heavenly thunder tribulations,” the Red Cloud Fairy said, her face filled with worry. She never expected to witness such a tribulation in her lifetime.

If Lin Fan could survive this terrifying thunder tribulation, his future achievements would be beyond imagination, and the strength of his cave would surpass all expectations.

Elder Yunhe’s gaze at Lin Fan was also filled with fear.

Even the Water-Fire Secret Realm could be obliterated.

However, they didn’t mention this to Lin Fan, sensing that he seemed unfamiliar with the heavenly thunder tribulation. If any issues arose during the process, they could explain and increase his chances of survival.

The ancient clan had completely surrounded the exit, ensuring no one could escape.

A glance revealed a sea of darkness, filled with deafening roars, including those of powerful ancient clan members.

If any beings from the myriad races saw this dense gathering of ancient clan members, they would be terrified and flee in panic.

When the ancient clan army appeared, the myriad races would retreat.

“Commander, should we wait outside or go in and slaughter those beings?” asked a fierce-looking ancient clan captain, his eyes like those of two bloodthirsty demons.

“To deal with these insignificant beings, I alone could annihilate them all. But to make them understand the might of the ancient clan, I will lead a few hundred soldiers to suppress them,” the ancient clan commander said coldly, exuding a fearsome aura.

This time, the ancient clan had sent ten commanders, all the most formidable subordinates under the throne of the Mighty King.

The Mighty King had been slain by Lin Fan, and the ancient clan’s supreme leader had effortlessly created a new Mighty King to expand their territory and slaughter the myriad races.

To the ancient clan’s supreme leader, puppets like the Despair Marquis, who provided power, were expendable.

When prey clung to a sliver of hope, only to be plunged into despair, the power they provided would be even greater.

“Commander, look, the beings from the myriad races are about to emerge,” an ancient clan member shouted, pointing at the lights deep within the rift.

The ten ancient clan commanders saw the glowing dots within the secret realm and smiled coldly.

“Since they’re delivering themselves to us, all the better. When they emerge, slaughter them all,” the ancient clan commander ordered.

“Yes, Commander!” the ancient clan members roared with fervor, their morale soaring to the heavens.

“Lin Fan, how are you holding up?” the Red Cloud Fairy asked with concern, noticing Lin Fan’s increasingly pale face.

“I can still endure,” Lin Fan replied, though his situation was far from ideal. The spiritual tools given by the Red Cloud Fairy had all been destroyed by the terrifying thunderbolts.

There was no room for resistance.

Though these were just spiritual tools, they were the personal treasures of the Water-Fire Emperor, imbued with his martial will.

Yet, even these had been utterly obliterated by the fearsome thunder tribulation.

“Elders…” At that moment, a dozen figures suddenly appeared from below.

“He’s facing the heavenly thunder tribulation, and the situation is critical,” the Red Cloud Fairy explained.

“The heavenly thunder tribulation?” Tian Yun was aware of it but still puzzled. “But that doesn’t make sense. Although the heavenly thunder tribulation is dangerous, given his strength, he should be able to handle it.”

In Tian Yun’s view, even the most talented individuals faced some risk during the heavenly thunder tribulation, but they usually had a good chance of surviving.

It was utterly terrifying!

“Look, the ancient clan army is guarding the entrance outside,” one disciple pointed into the distance, his voice trembling as he saw the situation beyond the layers of light.

The vast, mountainous ancient clan filled the entire horizon.

“We’re doomed. Even if we get out, we’ll die.”

“What do we do? We’re surrounded by the ancient clan.”

Elder Yunhe, seeing this, was also in a panic, unsure of what to do. How could they possibly break through?

This was the most challenging emergency Lin Fan had ever encountered. If not handled properly, it could lead to the complete annihilation of both body and soul.

Especially in this situation, even the system couldn’t help, as this was an inevitable part of the cultivation process.

However, upon hearing the words of the Red Cloud Fairy, Lin Fan’s heart shattered instantly.

“The number of spiritual energy storms corresponds to the number of Heavenly Thunder Tribulations,” the Red Cloud Fairy said, her face filled with worry. She never expected to witness such a Heavenly Thunder Tribulation in her lifetime.

The ancient clan had surrounded the entire exit, ensuring that no one could escape.

At a glance, it was pitch black, with deafening roars, among which were many powerful ancient clan members.

If any beings from the myriad races saw the densely packed ancient clan, they would be scared out of their wits and flee in terror.

When the ancient clan army appears, the myriad races retreat.

“Commander, should we wait outside or go in and slaughter those beings?” asked a fierce-looking ancient clan captain, his aura menacing, especially his eyes, which seemed to house two bloodthirsty demons.

“To deal with these insignificant beings, I alone can annihilate them all. But to make them understand the might of the ancient clan, I will lead a few hundred soldiers to suppress them completely,” the ancient clan commander said coldly, exuding a formidable presence.

This time, the ancient clan had sent ten commanders, all the most fearsome subordinates under the throne of the Mighty King.

The Mighty King had been slain by Lin Fan, and the supreme leader of the ancient clan had promptly created a new Mighty King to expand their territory and slaughter the beings of the myriad races.

To the supreme leader of the ancient clan, puppets like the Despair Marquis, who provided power, were expendable.

When prey clings to a sliver of hope, only to be plunged into despair, the power they provide becomes even more potent.

“Commander, look, the beings from the myriad races are about to emerge,” an ancient clan member shouted, pointing at the lights deep within the crack.

The ten ancient clan commanders saw the lights within the secret realm and smiled coldly.

“Since they’re delivering themselves to us, all the better. When they come out, kill them all,” the ancient clan commander ordered.

Although these were just spiritual tools, they were the personal artifacts of the Water-Fire Emperor, imbued with his martial will.

They were disciples of the Cloud Sect, mostly those who had failed the trials. When they were sucked into the vortex and regained consciousness, they found themselves outside.

They had been waiting and, upon seeing the elders, quickly followed.

“What’s wrong with him?” Tian Yun asked nervously, noticing Lin Fan’s ghastly complexion.

In Tian Yun’s view, even for the most talented individuals, while the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation posed some risk, there was still a good chance of survival.

“His cave has thousands of spiritual energy storms. The situation is out of control. It’s all up to luck now,” the Red Cloud Fairy said.

Even if he hadn’t experienced it himself, he had heard enough to understand.

The Heavenly Thunder Tribulation’s intensity is determined by the number of spiritual energy storms in the cave.

The Cloud Sect’s leader, with 188 spiritual energy storms, had faced the most severe tribulation in the sect’s history.

But now, hearing about thousands of spiritual energy storms, Tian Yun felt his mind go blank, his face filled with deep terror.

Mu Qing and the other surviving disciples also looked at Lin Fan with shock.

But soon, their expressions turned to fear.

So terrifying!

If he failed and the cave exploded, everyone would be annihilated.

“Look, the ancient clan army is guarding the entrance outside,” one disciple pointed into the distance, seeing the situation outside through the layers of light and was utterly stunned.

The vast ancient clan army, like a mountain range, filled the entire sky.

“We’re doomed. Even if we get out, we’ll die.”

“What do we do? We didn’t expect to be surrounded by the ancient clan.”

Elder Yunhe, seeing this, was also in a panic, unsure of what to do. In such a situation, how could they possibly break through?

Especially outside, standing before the entrance were ten ancient clan members, their auras as heavy as mountains, pressing down on the heavens and the earth.

But under current circumstances, the odds were practically ten to none.

“This…” Upon hearing this, Lin Fan’s face turned pale instantly, but in an instant, he regained his composure, an endless fighting spirit rising in his heart.

“Pfft, my life is tough—I won’t die from these lightning strikes. No matter what, I must endure,” Lin Fan gritted his teeth, preparing to give it his all.

Outside.

The ancient clan’s army had been waiting for quite some time.

“These beings of the Great Thousand Races must have entered the Water-Fire Secret Realm and obtained treasures. They certainly never expected that we, the Ancient Clan, have already surrounded the exit,” said an ancient clan warrior looking at the torn opening, sneering.

The Ancient Clan had completely encircled the exit, ensuring not even a bird could escape.

Looking afar, it was pitch black, filled with deafening roars, among which were many powerful ancient clan warriors.

If any Great Thousand Race cultivators saw the densely packed Ancient Clan warriors, they would flee in terror.

When the Ancient Clan’s army marched out, the Great Thousand Races would retreat.

“Commander, shall we wait outside or enter and slaughter those beings now?” asked a ten-thousand-man commander of the Ancient Clan, his face fierce, exuding a murderous aura, especially his eyes, which seemed to contain two bloodthirsty demons.

“These are mere ants. This commander alone can slaughter them all. But to let them understand the might of the Ancient Clan, I shall lead several hundred elite soldiers into the realm and crush them all,” the Ancient Clan commander coldly replied, radiating ferocity.

This time, ten commanders had come from the Ancient Clan, all the most ferocious subordinates under King Wei.

King Wei had been slain by Lin Fan, but the Supreme Ancient Clan had effortlessly appointed a new King Wei to expand territory and slaughter the Great Thousand Race beings.

To the Supreme Ancient Clan, a Despair Marquis, a puppet providing power, was expendable—once lost, another could be created.

When prey begins to harbor hope, only to have it crushed and replaced with despair, the power gained becomes even greater.

“Commander, look! The Great Thousand Race beings are coming out!” Suddenly, one Ancient Clan warrior shouted, pointing at several beams of light deep within the rift.

Seeing the lights from within the secret realm, the ten Ancient Clan commanders smirked coldly.

“Since they’re coming out willingly, even better. Kill them all as they emerge,” the commander ordered.

“Yes, Commander!” The Ancient Clan warriors roared with enthusiasm, their momentum soaring into the skies.

“Lin Fan, how are you holding up now?” Fairy Hongyun noticed Lin Fan’s face growing increasingly pale and couldn’t help but ask with concern.

“I can still hold on,” Lin Fan replied, though his situation was far from ideal. All the spirit artifacts Hongyun had given him had been destroyed under the terrifying lightning.

Not even the slightest resistance was possible.

Although these were just spirit artifacts, they had once been the Water-Fire Emperor’s personal treasures, imbued with the Emperor’s martial intent.

Yet even they were reduced to nothingness under this terrifying tribulation.

“Elder…” At that moment, over a dozen figures suddenly shot up from below.

These were disciples of Yunzong, mostly those who had failed the trials. When they were sucked into the vortex and regained consciousness, they had already been outside.

They had been waiting, and upon seeing the elders’ figures, they rushed up to join them.

“What’s wrong with him?” Tianyun saw Lin Fan’s ghastly pallor and asked nervously.

Although he had had a minor conflict with Lin Fan before, Lin Fan had stood up for him against his senior brother’s humiliation, so Tianyun had forgiven Lin Fan, thinking him a decent Human Race cultivator.

The Thunder Master, who had spent his life mastering electricity to save the world, now lay lifeless after being struck by the cave’s thunder tribulation. To Lin Fan, this was terrifying.

“How many strikes does this cave thunder tribulation have?” Lin Fan directly asked the Red Cloud Fairy.

Inside the cave, lightning flashed, and the immense power of the thunder was both shocking and fear-inducing.

This was the most challenging emergency Lin Fan had ever encountered. If mishandled, it could lead to the complete annihilation of both body and soul.

Especially in this situation, the system couldn’t help, as this was an inevitable part of cultivation.

But when Lin Fan heard what the Red Cloud Fairy said, his heart shattered.

“As many spiritual storms as there are, so are the strikes of the cave thunder tribulation,” the Red Cloud Fairy said, her face filled with worry. She never expected to witness such a cave thunder tribulation in her lifetime.

If Lin Fan could survive this terrifying thunder tribulation, his future achievements would be limitless, and the strength of his cave would surpass everyone’s imagination.

Elder Yunhe’s gaze at Lin Fan was also filled with fear.

They knew that if Lin Fan failed to overcome the thunder tribulation, leading to the destruction of the cave, the violent power of the thunder tribulation could kill them all.

Even the Water-Fire Secret Realm could be obliterated.

However, they didn’t tell Lin Fan this. They felt that Lin Fan seemed unfamiliar with the cave thunder tribulation. If something went wrong midway, they could explain it to him, increasing his chances of survival.

But given the current situation, the chances were almost zero.

“This…” Hearing this, Lin Fan’s face turned pale, but in an instant, it returned to normal, and an infinite fighting spirit rose within him.

“My life is tough. How could I be killed by these thunder tribulations? No matter what, I must hold on,” Lin Fan gritted his teeth, ready to give it his all.

Outside.

The ancient clan army had been waiting for a long time.

“These beings from the myriad races have entered the Water-Fire Secret Realm and must have obtained treasures. But they would never expect that the exit is already surrounded by our ancient clan,” an ancient clan member sneered, looking at the torn entrance.

The ancient clan had surrounded the entire exit, ensuring no one could escape.

Looking out, it was pitch black, with roars shaking the heavens, and among them were many powerful ancient clan members.

If any beings from the myriad races saw this dense crowd of ancient clan members, they would be scared out of their wits and flee in panic.

When the ancient clan army appears, the myriad races retreat.

“Commander, should we wait outside or go in and slaughter those beings?” asked a fierce-looking ancient clan captain, his aura menacing, especially his eyes, which seemed to house two bloodthirsty demons.

“To deal with these ant-like beings, I alone can slaughter them all. But to make them understand the might of the ancient clan, I will lead a few hundred soldiers to suppress them,” the ancient clan commander said coldly, exuding a formidable presence.

This time, ten commanders of the ancient clan had come, all the most ferocious subordinates under the throne of the Mighty King.

The Mighty King had been slain by Lin Fan, and the supreme leader of the ancient clan had casually created a new Mighty King to expand their territory and slaughter the beings of the myriad races.

To the supreme leader of the ancient clan, puppets like the Despair Marquis, who provided power, were expendable.

When prey clings to a sliver of hope, only to be plunged into despair, the power they provide becomes even stronger.

“Commander, look, the beings from the myriad races are coming out,” an ancient clan member shouted, pointing at the lights deep within the crack.

The ten ancient clan commanders saw the lights from the secret realm and smiled coldly.

“Since they’re delivering themselves to us, all the better. When they come out, slaughter them all,” the ancient clan commander said.

“Yes, Commander!” the ancient clan members roared with high morale, their spirits soaring to the heavens.

“Lin Fan, how are you holding up?” the Red Cloud Fairy asked with concern, seeing Lin Fan’s face grow paler.

“I can still hold on,” Lin Fan said, though his situation was not good. The spiritual tools the Red Cloud Fairy had given him were all destroyed by the terrifying thunder.

There was no room for resistance.

Although these were just spiritual tools, they were the personal treasures of the Water-Fire Emperor, imbued with his martial will.

Yet even these were obliterated by the terrifying thunder tribulation.

“Elder…” At this moment, a dozen figures suddenly flashed up from below.

These were disciples of the Cloud Sect, mostly those who had failed the trials. When they were sucked into the vortex and regained consciousness, they found themselves outside.

They had been waiting and, upon seeing the elders, followed them.

“What’s wrong with him?” Tian Yun asked nervously, seeing Lin Fan’s ghastly pale face.

Although he had had some minor conflicts with Lin Fan before, Lin Fan had stepped in to shield him from his senior’s humiliation, so he had forgiven Lin Fan and thought well of him.

“He’s facing the cave thunder tribulation, and the situation is critical,” the Red Cloud Fairy said.

“The cave thunder tribulation?” Tian Yun knew about it but was slightly puzzled. “But the cave thunder tribulation, though dangerous, shouldn’t be a problem for someone as strong as him.”

In Tian Yun’s view, even for the most talented, while the cave thunder tribulation was risky, there was still a good chance of survival.

“His cave has thousands of spiritual storms, and the situation is out of control. It’s all up to luck now,” the Red Cloud Fairy said.

Hearing this, Tian Yun almost spat out blood.

Even if he hadn’t experienced it, he had heard of it.

The cave thunder tribulation’s strength is determined by the number of spiritual storms in the cave.

The Cloud Sect’s leader, with 188 spiritual storms, faced the strongest thunder tribulation in the sect’s history.

But hearing about thousands of spiritual storms, Tian Yun felt his mind go blank, his face filled with deep fear.

Mu Qing and the other surviving disciples also looked at Lin Fan with shock.

But then their expressions turned to fear.

So terrifying!

If he didn’t survive, the cave would explode, and everyone would die without a burial place.

“Look, the ancient clan army is guarding the entrance outside,” a disciple shouted, pointing into the distance. Through the layers of light, they saw the situation outside and were terrified.

A vast, mountain-like ancient clan army filled the entire horizon.

“We’re doomed. Even if we get out, we’ll die.”

“What do we do? We didn’t expect to be surrounded by the ancient clan.”

Elder Yunhe, seeing this, was also greatly anxious, unsure of what to do. How could they break through in such a situation?

Especially outside, where ten ancient clan members stood at the entrance, their auras as heavy as mountains, pressing down on the heavens and earth.

The Thunder Master, who had spent his life manipulating electricity to save the world, now lay lifeless after being struck by the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation of the cave. To Lin Fan, this was nothing short of terrifying.

“How many strikes does this Heavenly Thunder Tribulation have?” Lin Fan directly asked the Red Cloud Fairy.

Inside the cave, lightning flashed ominously, and the immense power of the thunder was both awe-inspiring and fear-inducing.

This was the most challenging crisis Lin Fan had ever encountered. If not handled properly, it could lead to the annihilation of both body and soul.

Even the system couldn’t help in this situation, as this was an inevitable trial in the path of cultivation.

However, upon hearing the words of the Red Cloud Fairy, Lin Fan’s heart shattered instantly.

“The number of spiritual energy storms equals the number of Heavenly Thunder Tribulations,” the Red Cloud Fairy said, her face filled with worry. She never expected to witness such a Heavenly Thunder Tribulation in her lifetime.

If Lin Fan could survive this terrifying tribulation, his future achievements would be boundless, and the strength of his cave would surpass everyone’s imagination.

Elder Yunhe’s gaze at Lin Fan was also filled with fear.

They knew that if Lin Fan failed to endure the tribulation, leading to the destruction of the cave, the violent power of the thunder would annihilate them all.

Even the Water-Fire Secret Realm could be obliterated.

However, they didn’t mention this to Lin Fan. They sensed that he seemed unfamiliar with the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. If any issues arose during the process, they could explain and increase his chances of survival.

But given the current situation, the odds were virtually zero.

“This…” Hearing this, Lin Fan’s face turned pale, but in an instant, it returned to normal, and an infinite fighting spirit surged within him.

“My life is tough. How could I be killed by these thunder tribulations? No matter what, I must endure,” Lin Fan gritted his teeth, ready to give it his all.

“Commander, look, the beings from the myriad races are about to emerge,” an ancient clan member shouted, pointing at the lights deep within the crack.

The ten ancient clan commanders saw the light spots within the secret realm and smiled coldly.

“Since they’re delivering themselves to us, all the better. When they emerge, slaughter them all,” the ancient clan commander ordered.

“Yes, Commander!” the ancient clan members roared with fervor, their momentum soaring to the heavens.

“Lin Fan, how are you holding up?” the Red Cloud Fairy asked with concern, noticing Lin Fan’s increasingly pale face.

“I can still hold on,” Lin Fan replied, though his situation was far from good. All the spiritual artifacts the Red Cloud Fairy had given him had been destroyed by the terrifying thunder.

“What’s wrong with him?” Tian Yun asked nervously, noticing Lin Fan’s ghastly pallor.

Although he had had minor conflicts with Lin Fan before, Lin Fan had stepped in to shield him from his senior’s humiliation, so Tian Yun had forgiven him and thought Lin Fan was a decent human.

“He’s facing the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, and the situation is critical,” the Red Cloud Fairy explained.

“The Heavenly Thunder Tribulation?” Tian Yun was aware of it but still somewhat puzzled. “That’s strange. Although the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation is dangerous, given his strength, he should be able to handle it.”

In Tian Yun’s view, even for the most talented individuals, while the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation posed some risk, there was still a good chance of survival.

“His cave has thousands of spiritual energy storms. The situation is out of control, and it’s all up to luck now,” the Red Cloud Fairy said.

Hearing this, Tian Yun nearly spat out blood.

Even if he hadn’t experienced it himself, he had heard of it.

The Heavenly Thunder Tribulation’s intensity was determined by the number of spiritual energy storms in the cave.

The Cloud Sect’s leader, with 188 spiritual energy storms, had faced the most severe tribulation in the sect’s history.

But now, hearing of thousands of spiritual energy storms, Tian Yun felt his mind go blank, his face filled with deep terror.

Mu Qing and the other surviving disciples also looked at Lin Fan with shock.

But soon, their expressions turned to fear.

This was terrifying!

If he failed to endure it and the cave exploded, everyone would be annihilated.

“Look, the ancient clan army is guarding the entrance outside,” one disciple pointed into the distance. Through the layers of light, they saw the situation outside and were utterly stunned.

The vast, mountainous ancient clan filled the entire horizon.

“We’re doomed. Even if we get out, we’ll die.”

“What do we do? We didn’t expect the ancient clan to surround us.”

Elder Yunhe, seeing this, was also in a panic, unsure of what to do. In such a situation, how could they possibly break through?

Especially outside, standing before the entrance, were ten ancient clan members, their auras as heavy as mountains, pressing down on the heavens and earth.

The Thunder Master, who had spent his life playing with electricity to save the world, was now struck down by the Celestial Thunder Tribulation in this realm, lying lifeless. To Lin Fan, this was utterly terrifying.

“How many strikes does this Celestial Thunder Tribulation have?” Lin Fan directly asked the Red Cloud Fairy.

Currently, within the realm, thunderbolts flashed, and the immense power of the thunder was both shocking and fear-inducing.

This was the most challenging emergency Lin Fan had ever encountered. If mishandled, it could lead to complete annihilation of both body and soul.

Especially in such a situation, even the system couldn’t help, as this was an inevitable part of the cultivation process.

Looking around, it was pitch black, with deafening roars, including those from powerful ancient clan members.

If any beings from the myriad races saw the densely packed ancient clan, they would be terrified and flee in panic.

Hearing this, Tian Yun nearly spat out blood.

Even if he hadn’t experienced it himself, he had heard enough.

The Celestial Thunder Tribulation’s intensity is determined by the number of spiritual storms in one’s realm.

The Cloud Sect’s patriarch, with 188 spiritual storms, faced the most severe thunder tribulation in the sect’s history.

But now, hearing about thousands of spiritual storms, Tian Yun felt his mind go blank, his face filled with deep terror.

Mu Qing and the other surviving disciples also looked at Lin Fan with shock.

But soon, their expressions turned to fear.

So terrifying!

If he failed to endure, and the realm exploded, everyone would perish without a trace.

“Look, the ancient clan’s army is guarding the entrance outside,” a disciple pointed into the distance, seeing the situation outside through the layers of light, and was utterly stunned.

The vast ancient clan, like a mountain range, filled the entire horizon.

“We’re doomed. Even if we get out, we’ll die.”

“How many bolts does this Heavenly Thunder Tribulation have?” Lin Fan directly asked the Red Cloud Fairy.

Elder Yunhe’s gaze at Lin Fan was also filled with fear.

They knew that if Lin Fan failed to endure the tribulation and the cave collapsed, the violent thunder would obliterate them all.

Even the Water-Fire Secret Realm could be reduced to nothing.

However, they didn’t mention this to Lin Fan. They sensed that he was unfamiliar with the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, and if something went wrong, they could explain and increase his chances of survival.

But given the current situation, the odds were virtually zero.

“My life is tough. There’s no way I’ll be killed by these thunder tribulations. No matter what, I must endure,” Lin Fan gritted his teeth, ready to give it his all.

Outside.

The ancient clan’s army had been waiting for a long time.

“These creatures from the myriad races have entered the Water-Fire Secret Realm and must have obtained treasures. But they would never expect that the exit is already surrounded by our ancient clan,” one of the ancient clan members sneered, looking at the torn entrance.

The ancient clan had completely surrounded the exit, ensuring no one could escape.

Looking out, it was pitch black, with deafening roars, and among them were powerful members of the ancient clan.

If any creature from the myriad races saw the dense numbers of the ancient clan, they would be terrified and flee in panic.

When the ancient clan’s army appeared, the myriad races would retreat.

“Commander, should we wait outside or go in and slaughter those creatures?” asked a fierce-looking ancient clan captain, his aura menacing, with eyes that seemed to house two bloodthirsty demons.

“To deal with these insignificant creatures, I alone could annihilate them all. But to make them understand the might of the ancient clan, I will lead a few hundred soldiers to suppress them,” the ancient clan commander said coldly, exuding a formidable presence.

This time, ten commanders of the ancient clan had come, all the most fearsome subordinates under the throne of the Mighty King.

The Mighty King had been slain by Lin Fan, and the supreme leader of the ancient clan had effortlessly created a new Mighty King to expand their territory and slaughter the myriad races.

“Lin Fan, how are you holding up?” the Red Cloud Fairy asked with concern, noticing Lin Fan’s increasingly pale face.

“I can still hold on,” Lin Fan replied, though his situation was dire. The spiritual artifacts the Red Cloud Fairy had given him were all destroyed by the terrifying thunder.

There was no room for resistance.

Though these were just spiritual artifacts, they were the personal treasures of the Water-Fire Emperor, imbued with his martial will.

“The Heavenly Thunder Tribulation?” Tian Yun knew of it but was slightly puzzled. “But even though it’s dangerous, given his strength, he should be able to handle it.”

In Tian Yun’s view, even the most talented individuals faced some risk during the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, but they usually had a good chance of surviving.

“His cave has thousands of spiritual energy storms. The situation is out of control, and it’s all up to fate now,” the Red Cloud Fairy said.

Hearing this, Tian Yun nearly spat out blood.

Even if he hadn’t experienced it himself, he had heard of it.

The Heavenly Thunder Tribulation’s intensity was determined by the number of spiritual energy storms in the cave.

The Cloud Sect’s leader, with 188 spiritual energy storms, had faced the most severe tribulation in the sect’s history.

So terrifying!

If he failed and the cave exploded, everyone would perish without a trace.

“Look, the ancient clan’s army is guarding the entrance outside,” one disciple pointed into the distance, seeing the situation outside through the layers of light, and was utterly stunned.

The vast ancient clan, like a mountain range, filled the entire sky.

“We’re doomed. Even if we get out, we’ll die.”

“What do we do? We didn’t expect to be surrounded by the ancient clan.”

Elder Yunhe, seeing this, was also in a panic, unsure of what to do. In such a situation, how could they possibly break through?

Especially with the ten ancient clan members standing at the entrance, their auras as heavy as mountains, pressing down on the heavens and earth.

Upon hearing this, Tianyun nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

He might not have eaten pork, but he had seen pigs run.

The Thunder Monarch, who had spent his life mastering electricity to save the world, now lay lifeless after being struck by the heavenly thunder tribulation within the cave. To Lin Fan, this was utterly terrifying.

“How many strikes does this cave tribulation have?” Lin Fan directly asked the Red Cloud Fairy.

Inside the cave, thunder crackled ominously, its immense power both awe-inspiring and fear-inducing.

This was the most challenging crisis Lin Fan had ever faced. A single misstep could lead to his complete annihilation.

Even the system couldn’t help in this situation, as this was an inevitable trial in cultivation.

However, upon hearing the Red Cloud Fairy’s words, Lin Fan’s heart shattered.

“As many spiritual storms as there are, so are the strikes of the cave tribulation,” the Red Cloud Fairy said, her face filled with worry. She never imagined she would witness such a tribulation in her lifetime.

If Lin Fan could survive this terrifying tribulation, his future achievements would be boundless, and the strength of his cave would surpass all imagination.

Elder Yunhe’s gaze at Lin Fan was also filled with dread.

They knew that if Lin Fan failed to endure the tribulation, leading to the destruction of his cave, the violent thunder would annihilate them all.

Even the Water-Fire Secret Realm could be obliterated.

However, they didn’t share this with Lin Fan. They sensed that he was unfamiliar with the cave tribulation, and if any issues arose, they could guide him, increasing his chances of survival.

But given the current situation, the odds seemed hopeless.

“This…” Lin Fan’s face paled momentarily, but he quickly regained his composure, a surge of fighting spirit rising within him.

“My life is tough. There’s no way I’ll be killed by this tribulation. No matter what, I must endure,” Lin Fan gritted his teeth, ready to give it his all.

Outside.

The ancient clan army had been waiting for a long time.

“These beings from the myriad races have entered the Water-Fire Secret Realm and must have obtained treasures. But they would never expect that the exit is now surrounded by our ancient clan,” one of the ancient clan members sneered, looking at the torn entrance.

The ancient clan had completely sealed the exit, ensuring no one could escape.

The scene was pitch black, filled with roars, and among them were powerful ancient clan members.

Any being from the myriad races who saw this dense formation of ancient clan members would be terrified and flee in panic.

When the ancient clan army appeared, the myriad races would retreat.

“Commander, should we wait outside or go in and slaughter those beings?” asked a fierce-looking ancient clan captain, his aura menacing, with eyes that seemed to house two bloodthirsty demons.

“To deal with these insignificant beings, I alone could annihilate them all. But to make them understand the might of our ancient clan, I will lead a few hundred soldiers to suppress them,” the ancient clan commander said coldly, exuding a formidable presence.

This time, the ancient clan had sent ten commanders, all the most fearsome subordinates under the throne of the Mighty King.

The Mighty King had been slain by Lin Fan, and the supreme leader of the ancient clan had effortlessly created a new Mighty King to expand their territory and slaughter the beings of the myriad races.

To the supreme leader of the ancient clan, puppets like the Despair Marquis, who provided power, were expendable.

When prey clung to a sliver of hope, only to be plunged into despair, the power they provided would be even greater.

“Commander, look, the beings from the myriad races are about to emerge,” an ancient clan member pointed at the faint lights deep within the crack.

The ten ancient clan commanders saw the lights within the secret realm and smiled coldly.

“Since they’re delivering themselves to us, all the better. When they emerge, slaughter them all,” the ancient clan commander ordered.

“Yes, Commander!” the ancient clan members roared with fervor, their morale soaring to the heavens.

“Lin Fan, how are you holding up?” the Red Cloud Fairy asked with concern, noticing Lin Fan’s increasingly pale face.

“I can still hold on,” Lin Fan replied, though his situation was dire. The spiritual artifacts the Red Cloud Fairy had given him were all destroyed by the terrifying thunder.

There was no room for resistance.

Though these were just spiritual artifacts, they were the personal treasures of the Water-Fire Emperor, imbued with his martial will.

Yet, even these were obliterated by the fearsome tribulation.

“Elders…” At that moment, over a dozen figures suddenly appeared from below.

These were disciples of the Cloud Sect, mostly those who had failed the trials. When they were sucked into the vortex and regained consciousness, they found themselves outside.

They had been waiting and, upon seeing the elders, quickly followed.

“What’s wrong with him?” Tian Yun asked nervously, noticing Lin Fan’s ghastly pallor.

Though he had previously had minor conflicts with Lin Fan, Lin Fan had stepped in to shield him from his senior’s humiliation, leading Tian Yun to forgive him and think favorably of him.

“He’s facing the cave tribulation, and it’s critical,” the Red Cloud Fairy explained.

“The cave tribulation?” Tian Yun was aware of it but still puzzled. “That’s strange. Although the cave tribulation is dangerous, given his strength, he should be able to handle it.”

In Tian Yun’s view, even the most talented individuals faced some risk during the cave tribulation, but they usually had a good chance of surviving.

“His cave has thousands of spiritual storms. The situation is out of control, and it’s all up to fate now,” the Red Cloud Fairy said.

Upon hearing this, Tian Yun nearly spat out blood.

He might not have experienced it firsthand, but he knew the cave tribulation’s intensity was determined by the number of spiritual storms in the cave.

The Cloud Sect’s leader, with 188 spiritual storms, had faced the most severe tribulation in the sect’s history.

But hearing about thousands of spiritual storms, Tian Yun’s mind went blank, and his face showed deep terror.

Mu Qing and the other surviving disciples also looked at Lin Fan with shock, which soon turned into fear.

So terrifying!

If he failed and the cave exploded, everyone would perish without a trace.

“Look, the ancient clan army is guarding the exit,” one disciple pointed into the distance. Through the layers of light, they saw the outside situation and were stunned.

A vast, mountainous formation of ancient clan members filled the entire horizon.

“We’re doomed. Even if we get out, we’ll die.”

“What do we do? We’re surrounded by the ancient clan.”

Elder Yunhe, seeing this, was frantic, unsure of how to proceed. With such a blockade, breaking through seemed impossible.

Especially with the ten ancient clan members standing at the entrance, their auras as heavy as mountains, pressing down on the heavens and earth.

The Thunder Lord, who had spent his life mastering electricity to save the world, now lay lifeless after being struck by the cave’s heavenly thunder tribulation. To Lin Fan, this was utterly terrifying.

“How many strikes does this cave’s thunder tribulation have?” Lin Fan directly asked the Red Cloud Fairy.

Inside the cave, thunderbolts flashed, and the immense power of the lightning was both shocking and fear-inducing.

This was the most challenging emergency Lin Fan had ever encountered. If not handled properly, it could lead to the complete annihilation of both body and soul.

Especially in this situation, even the system couldn’t help, as this was an inevitable part of the cultivation process.

But when Lin Fan heard what the Red Cloud Fairy said, his heart shattered instantly.

“As many as the spiritual energy storms, so are the strikes of the cave’s thunder tribulation,” the Red Cloud Fairy said, her face filled with worry. She never expected to witness such a thunder tribulation in her lifetime.

If Lin Fan could survive this terrifying tribulation, his future achievements would be beyond imagination, and the strength of his cave would surpass everyone’s expectations.

Elder Yunhe’s gaze at Lin Fan was also filled with fear.

They knew that if Lin Fan failed to endure the thunder tribulation, leading to the destruction of the cave, the violent power of the tribulation could annihilate them all.

Even the Water-Fire Secret Realm could be obliterated.

However, they didn’t mention this to Lin Fan. They sensed that he seemed unfamiliar with the cave’s thunder tribulation. If any issues arose during the process, they could explain and increase his chances of survival.

But given the current situation, the odds were practically zero.

“This…” Hearing this, Lin Fan’s face turned pale, but in an instant, it returned to normal, and an infinite fighting spirit surged within him.

“My life is tough. How could I be killed by these thunder tribulations? No matter what, I must endure,” Lin Fan gritted his teeth, ready to go all out.

Outside.

The ancient clan army had been waiting for a long time.

“These beings from the myriad races have entered the Water-Fire Secret Realm and must have obtained treasures. But they would never expect that the exit is already surrounded by our ancient clan,” one of the ancient clan members sneered, looking at the torn entrance.

The ancient clan had surrounded the entire exit, ensuring no one could escape.

At a glance, it was pitch black, with roars shaking the heavens, and among them were many powerful ancient clan members.

If any beings from the myriad races saw this dense formation of the ancient clan, they would be terrified and flee in panic.

When the ancient clan army appeared, the myriad races would retreat.

“Commander, should we wait outside or go in and slaughter those beings?” asked a fierce-looking ancient clan captain, his aura menacing, with eyes that seemed to house two bloodthirsty demons.

“To deal with these insignificant beings, I alone could slaughter them all. But to make them understand the might of the ancient clan, I will lead a few hundred soldiers to suppress them completely,” the ancient clan commander said coldly, exuding a formidable presence.

This time, the ancient clan had sent ten commanders, all the most fearsome subordinates under the throne of the Mighty King.

The Mighty King had been slain by Lin Fan, and the supreme leader of the ancient clan had quickly created a new Mighty King to expand their territory and slaughter the beings of the myriad races.

To the supreme leader of the ancient clan, puppets like the Despair Marquis, who provided power, were expendable.

When prey clings to a sliver of hope, only to be plunged into despair, the power they provide becomes even greater.

“Commander, look, the beings from the myriad races are coming out,” an ancient clan member pointed at the lights deep within the crack and shouted.

The ten ancient clan commanders saw the light spots in the secret realm and sneered.

“Since they’re delivering themselves to us, even better. When they come out, slaughter them all,” the ancient clan commander ordered.

“Yes, Commander!” The ancient clan members roared with high morale, their momentum soaring to the heavens.

“Lin Fan, how are you holding up?” the Red Cloud Fairy asked with concern, seeing Lin Fan’s face grow paler.

“I can still endure,” Lin Fan replied, though his situation was not good. All the spiritual tools the Red Cloud Fairy had given him had been destroyed by the terrifying thunderbolts.

There wasn’t even a chance to resist.

Although these were just spiritual tools, they were the personal treasures of the Water-Fire Emperor, imbued with his martial will.

Yet, even these were completely annihilated by the terrifying thunder tribulation.

“Elders…” At that moment, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared from below.

These were disciples of the Cloud Sect, mostly those who had failed the trials. When they were sucked into the vortex and regained consciousness, they found themselves outside.

They had been waiting and, upon seeing the elders, quickly followed.

“What’s wrong with him?” Tian Yun asked nervously, seeing Lin Fan’s ghastly pale face.

Although he had had some minor conflicts with Lin Fan before, Lin Fan had stepped in to shield him from his senior brother’s humiliation, so he had forgiven Lin Fan and thought well of him.

“He’s facing the cave’s thunder tribulation, and it’s critical,” the Red Cloud Fairy explained.

“The cave’s thunder tribulation?” Tian Yun knew of it but was slightly puzzled. “That’s not right. Although the cave’s thunder tribulation is dangerous, given his strength, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

In Tian Yun’s view, even for the most talented individuals, while the cave’s thunder tribulation posed some risk, there was still a good chance of survival.

“His cave has thousands of spiritual energy storms, and the situation is out of control. It’s all up to luck now,” the Red Cloud Fairy said.

Hearing this, Tian Yun nearly spat out blood.

Even if he hadn’t experienced it himself, he had heard enough about it.

The cave’s thunder tribulation is determined by the number of spiritual energy storms in the cave.

The Cloud Sect’s leader, with 188 spiritual energy storms, had faced the most severe thunder tribulation in the sect’s history.

But now, hearing about thousands of spiritual energy storms, Tian Yun felt his mind go blank, his face filled with deep terror.

Mu Qing and the other surviving disciples also looked at Lin Fan with shock.

But soon, their expressions turned to fear.

So terrifying!

If he didn’t survive and the cave exploded, everyone would be annihilated without a trace.

“Look, the ancient clan army is guarding the entrance outside,” a disciple pointed into the distance, seeing the situation outside through the layers of light and was utterly stunned.

The vast ancient clan army, like a mountain range, filled the entire horizon.

“We’re doomed. Even if we get out, we’ll die.”

“What do we do? We didn’t expect to be surrounded by the ancient clan.”

Elder Yunhe, seeing this, was also in a panic, unsure of what to do. In such a situation, how could they possibly break through?

Especially outside, where the ten ancient clan members stood at the entrance, their auras as heavy as mountains, pressing down on the heavens and earth.

The Thunder Master, who had spent his life manipulating electricity to save the world, now lay lifeless after being struck by the heavenly thunder tribulation in this cave. To Lin Fan, this was utterly terrifying.

“How many strikes does this heavenly thunder tribulation have?” Lin Fan directly asked the Red Cloud Fairy.

Inside the cave, thunderbolts flashed ominously, their immense power striking fear into the hearts of all who witnessed it.

This was the most critical emergency Lin Fan had ever encountered. A single misstep could lead to his complete annihilation.

Even the system couldn’t help in this situation, as it was a necessary trial in the path of cultivation.

However, upon hearing the Red Cloud Fairy’s words, Lin Fan’s heart shattered.

“The number of spiritual energy storms equals the number of heavenly thunder tribulations,” the Red Cloud Fairy said, her face filled with worry. She never imagined she would witness such a tribulation in her lifetime.

If Lin Fan could survive this terrifying thunder tribulation, his future achievements would be beyond imagination, and the strength of his cave would surpass all expectations.

Elder Yunhe’s gaze at Lin Fan was also filled with fear.

Even the Water-Fire Secret Realm could be obliterated.

However, they didn’t mention this to Lin Fan, sensing that he seemed unfamiliar with the heavenly thunder tribulation. If something went wrong, they could explain and increase his chances of survival.

But given the current situation, the odds were virtually zero.

“This…” Hearing this, Lin Fan’s face turned pale, but in an instant, he regained his composure, his heart filled with boundless fighting spirit.

“My life is tough. There’s no way these thunderbolts can kill me. No matter what, I must endure,” Lin Fan gritted his teeth, ready to give it his all.

Outside.

The ancient clan army had been waiting for a long time.

“These creatures from the myriad races have entered the Water-Fire Secret Realm and must have obtained treasures. But they would never expect that the exit is now surrounded by our ancient clan,” one of the ancient clan members sneered, looking at the torn entrance.

The ancient clan had completely surrounded the exit, ensuring no one could escape.

Looking out, the scene was pitch black, filled with deafening roars, among which were many powerful ancient clan members.

If any creature from the myriad races saw this dense formation of ancient clan members, they would be terrified and flee in panic.

When the ancient clan army appears, the myriad races retreat.

“Commander, should we wait outside or go in and slaughter those creatures?” asked a fierce-looking ancient clan captain, his eyes like those of two bloodthirsty demons.

“To deal with these insignificant creatures, I alone could annihilate them all. But to make them understand the might of the ancient clan, I will lead a hundred soldiers to suppress them,” the ancient clan commander said coldly, exuding a formidable aura.

The Mighty King had been slain by Lin Fan, and the ancient clan’s supreme leader had quickly created a new Mighty King to expand their territory and slaughter the myriad races.

To the ancient clan’s supreme leader, a puppet like the Lord of Despair, who provided power, was expendable.

Although he had had some minor conflicts with Lin Fan before, Lin Fan had stepped in to shield him from his senior’s humiliation, so Tian Yun had forgiven him and thought Lin Fan was a decent human.

“He’s facing the heavenly thunder tribulation. It’s a critical situation,” the Red Cloud Fairy explained.

“The heavenly thunder tribulation?” Tian Yun knew about it but was slightly puzzled. “That’s strange. Although the heavenly thunder tribulation is dangerous, given his strength, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

Elder Yunhe, seeing this, was also in a panic, unsure of what to do. How could they possibly break through?

Especially with the ten ancient clan members standing at the entrance, their auras as heavy as mountains, pressing down on the heavens and earth.

Beside him, Mu Qing and other surviving disciples looked at Lin Fan with shocked expressions.

Soon after, their faces turned fearful.

So terrifying!

The Thunder Lord, who had spent his life mastering electricity to save the world, now lay lifeless after being struck by the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation in this realm. To Lin Fan, this was utterly terrifying.

“How many strikes does this Heavenly Thunder Tribulation have?” Lin Fan directly asked the Red Cloud Fairy.

Inside the realm, thunderbolts flashed ominously, their immense power striking fear into the hearts of all who witnessed it.

This was the most perilous situation Lin Fan had ever encountered. A single misstep could lead to the complete annihilation of both body and soul.

Even the system was of no help in this situation, as this was a trial that every cultivator must face.

However, upon hearing the Red Cloud Fairy’s words, Lin Fan’s heart shattered.

“The number of spiritual storms corresponds to the number of Heavenly Thunder Tribulations,” the Red Cloud Fairy said, her face filled with worry. She had never imagined witnessing such a tribulation in her lifetime.

If Lin Fan could survive this terrifying tribulation, his future achievements would be boundless, and the strength of his realm would surpass all imagination.

Elder Yunhe’s gaze at Lin Fan was also filled with fear.

They knew that if Lin Fan failed to endure the tribulation and his realm collapsed, the violent thunderbolts would obliterate them all.

Even the Water-Fire Secret Realm could be reduced to nothing.

However, they didn’t share this with Lin Fan, sensing that he was unfamiliar with the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. If something went wrong, they could explain and increase his chances of survival.

But given the current situation, the odds were virtually zero.

“This…” Upon hearing this, Lin Fan’s face turned pale, but in an instant, it returned to normal, and an indomitable fighting spirit surged within him.

“My life is tough. How could I be killed by these thunderbolts? No matter what, I must endure,” Lin Fan gritted his teeth, ready to give it his all.

Outside.

The ancient clan’s army had been waiting for a long time.

“These beings from the myriad races have entered the Water-Fire Secret Realm and must have obtained treasures. But they would never expect that the exit is now surrounded by our ancient clan,” one of the ancient clan members sneered, looking at the torn entrance.

The ancient clan had completely sealed off the exit, ensuring no one could escape.

Looking out, the scene was pitch black, filled with deafening roars, and among them were many powerful ancient clan members.

If any beings from the myriad races saw the sheer number of ancient clan members, they would be terrified and flee in panic.

When the ancient clan’s army appeared, the myriad races would retreat.

“Commander, should we wait outside or go in and slaughter those beings?” asked a fierce-looking ancient clan captain, his aura menacing, with eyes that seemed to harbor two bloodthirsty demons.

“To deal with these insignificant beings, I alone could annihilate them all. But to make them understand the might of the ancient clan, I will lead a few hundred soldiers to suppress them,” the ancient clan commander said coldly, exuding a formidable presence.

This time, the ancient clan had sent ten commanders, all the most ferocious subordinates under the throne of the Mighty King.

The Mighty King had been slain by Lin Fan, and the ancient clan’s supreme leader had swiftly appointed a new Mighty King to expand their territory and exterminate the myriad races.

To the ancient clan’s supreme leader, a puppet like Despair Marquis, who provided power, was expendable.

When prey clung to a sliver of hope, only to be plunged into despair, the power they provided would be even greater.

“Commander, look, the beings from the myriad races are about to emerge,” an ancient clan member shouted, pointing at the lights deep within the rift.

The ten ancient clan commanders saw the lights from the secret realm and smiled coldly.

“Since they’re delivering themselves to us, all the better. Kill them all as soon as they emerge,” the ancient clan commander ordered.

“Yes, Commander!” the ancient clan members roared with fervor, their momentum soaring to the heavens.

“Lin Fan, how are you holding up?” the Red Cloud Fairy asked with concern, noticing Lin Fan’s increasingly pale face.

“I can still hold on,” Lin Fan replied, though his situation was dire. The spiritual artifacts the Red Cloud Fairy had given him had all been destroyed by the terrifying thunderbolts.

“What’s wrong with him?” Tian Yun asked nervously, noticing Lin Fan’s ghastly complexion.

Though he had previously had minor conflicts with Lin Fan, Lin Fan had stepped in to shield him from his senior’s humiliation, and Tian Yun had since forgiven him, thinking Lin Fan was a decent human.

“He’s facing the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, and it’s critical,” the Red Cloud Fairy explained.

“The Heavenly Thunder Tribulation?” Tian Yun knew of it but was slightly puzzled. “But that shouldn’t be a problem for someone as strong as him.”

In Tian Yun’s view, even the most talented individuals faced some danger during the tribulation, but they usually had a good chance of surviving.

“His realm has thousands of spiritual storms, and the situation is out of control. It’s all up to fate now,” the Red Cloud Fairy said.

Upon hearing this, Tian Yun nearly spat out blood.

He had never seen such a thing before.

The Heavenly Thunder Tribulation’s intensity was determined by the number of spiritual storms in one’s realm.

The Cloud Sect’s leader, with 188 spiritual storms, had faced the most severe tribulation in the sect’s history.

But hearing of thousands of spiritual storms, Tian Yun’s mind went blank, and his face filled with deep terror.

Mu Qing and the other surviving disciples also looked at Lin Fan with shock.

“We’re doomed. Even if we get out, we’ll die.”

“What do we do? We didn’t expect the ancient clan to surround us.”

Elder Yunhe, seeing this, was also greatly distressed, unsure of what to do. How could they possibly break through?

Especially with the ten ancient clan members standing at the entrance, their auras as heavy as mountains, pressing down on the heavens and earth.

“Look, the Ancient Clan’s army is guarding the entrance outside,” one disciple suddenly shouted, pointing into the distance. Through the layers of light barriers, they saw the situation outside—and were stunned.

The Ancient Clan warriors stretched endlessly like mountains, filling the entire sky.

“We’re doomed. Even if we escape, we’ll die.”

“What should we do? We never expected to be surrounded by the Ancient Clan.”

Elder Yunhe, seeing this, was also greatly alarmed, not knowing what to do. How could they possibly break through under such circumstances?

Especially outside, standing before the entrance, ten Ancient Clan warriors radiated thick auras, like heavy mountains, suppressing the heavens and earth.
