“Roar…!” A deafening bellow echoed as a monstrous creature with the body of a lion and the face of a human charged forward, its entire form wreathed in golden light. It moved faster and faster, surpassing all other beings in its path.
**Boom!**
In the end, it transformed into a streak of golden lightning, streaking across the sky for thousands of miles. Its massive claws descended, unleashing countless rays of golden radiance that shattered the void, sending black fissures spreading through the air—a terrifying sight.
**Clang!**
Shi Hao met the creature head-on with his bare hands. The collision between them rang out like the clash of metal, sparks flying in all directions.
“Kill!” Shi Hao growled, leaping into the air, dodging other spirits to focus his attack on this monstrosity.
**Boom!**
The lion-faced monster was unbelievably fast, far beyond what many could imagine. In the blink of an eye, it had already traversed thousands of miles—impossible to chase.
This was the speed of lightning!
**Whoosh!**
The next moment, it charged again, claws bared, golden light erupting in countless strands, blindingly brilliant, as if a mighty deity had descended to strike.
Without a doubt, this was the leader of this region, commanding vast armies, risen from mountains of corpses and seas of blood to attack Shi Hao.
“Kill!”
At the same time, countless creatures from the foreign lands roared, their voices shaking heaven and earth, their battle cries resounding through the world. The very fabric of the universe trembled under their fury!
“Roar…!” The lion-faced monster led the charge, the first to pounce on Shi Hao, covering thousands of miles in a single bound—its speed was terrifying.
“Slash!” At this moment, Shi Hao’s eyes narrowed with determination. He resolved to end this in a single strike, unleashing his most powerful technique. Otherwise, the path ahead would only grow harder.
Because, judging by the situation, he would have to fight his way through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths—and this was only the beginning!
His fist blazed with light, gathering power as he channeled all his knowledge. Bone runes bloomed, densely interwoven around his fist as he activated his innate supreme treasure technique—**Supreme Heaven!**
**Boom!**
The moment his fist struck, the heavens dimmed, and the winds exploded. The impact was so immense it was as if a comet had detonated on the spot.
The dazzling radiance illuminated the firmament, casting a pale light over the faces of the young cultivators watching in awe. Just how terrifying was Shi Hao’s combat power?
The sheer dominance of this punch was overwhelming. Even a cultivator at the “Slay Self” realm would be obliterated by a single strike—likely killed on the spot!
Now, Shi Hao’s might was incomparable to before. After years of secluded cultivation, refining himself as the seed, his strength had surged dramatically. At the same time, his understanding of his innate treasure technique had deepened, surpassing his previous attainments!
In this strike, his fist burned like a miniature golden sun, so blinding it was nearly impossible to look at directly.
“Roar…!”
The lion-faced monster roared as it clashed with Shi Hao’s punch, swinging its massive golden claws and opening its bloody maw, fighting with everything it had.
All around, other creatures surged forward, brandishing weapons as they attacked Shi Hao from all sides.
**Crack!**
Shi Hao’s fist shattered the monster’s golden claw and plunged straight into its gaping maw. With a violent tremor, its skull exploded.
“Raaagh!”
The monster howled in agony, retreating at extreme speed, but it could not stop the destruction of its head. With a final **snap**, it burst apart completely.
At the last moment, the monster lunged forward, transforming into a colossal golden lightning bolt that streaked across the sky, slamming into Shi Hao.
Thunder roared, lightning clashed—but Shi Hao dispersed it all with a single motion.
These creatures not only possessed real combat power but were also formed from lightning. In death, they became tribulation thunder, capable of a second attack!
The golden monster was incredibly strong, befitting its status as a leader—yet it had still been slain!
“Kill!”
Across the battlefield, countless figures surged, an endless sea of enemies charging with weapons raised.
Black iron spears, gleaming longswords, crimson blades, bloodstained halberds…
The cold glint of metal reflected their overwhelming killing intent. This was an army of thousands, all moving with the speed of lightning—impossible to evade.
“Kill!” Shi Hao roared, now fighting for his life. His palm glowed as a golden spear materialized, forged from divine energy, radiant and deadly as he thrust forward.
**Thud!**
A single thrust pierced through several powerful beings, the spear’s energy shattering their weapons and splitting the sky!
**Crack!**
Lightning intertwined as those struck exploded, sending thousands of thunderbolts crashing into Shi Hao—yet he endured them all.
“Charge!”
Countless creatures, fearless of death, rushed forward.
Shi Hao’s brows furrowed as he swung the spear in a wide arc. The weapon expanded, becoming as massive as a mountain ridge, sweeping across the battlefield with radiant light and overwhelming killing intent!
**Splat!**
Blood sprayed as countless creatures screamed, their bones shattered, their bodies reduced to pulp before dissolving into lightning.
This was a massacre. Shi Hao displayed divine might, battling fiercely against the foreign creatures, limbs flying and blood staining the sky.
Especially when he saw the corpses of cultivators from the Nine Heavens strewn across the ground, his battle intent sharpened even further.
Even if this was a tribulation, he treated it as a real war. His heart burned with fury as he roared at the heavens, gripping his spear and slaughtering all who stood in his way.
Shi Hao fought with fearless courage, but the enemy forces were endless—an ocean of foes stretching as far as the eye could see.
He fought until his vision turned red, drenched in blood.
But no matter how strong one was, numbers could overwhelm. Like a drowning man in a stormy sea, Shi Hao was surrounded, the stench of blood thick in the air.
**Boom!**
Thunderbolts exploded one after another. With every enemy slain, another bolt of lightning struck his body.
“This… is too terrifying!”
All the young cultivators watching shuddered. None had expected this tribulation to be so monstrous, so horrifying.
This was a path of no return—just the beginning was already so brutal. How could anyone survive what came next?
After all, this was the **Nine Heavens and Ten Earths**. He had only just set foot on the first of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces. The road ahead was long!
“How can a tribulation like this exist? It leaves no hope for survival—only death!” Some sighed in despair.
This was a tribulation that offered no hope—only despair.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were filled with enemies. A single man fighting alone—how helpless, how powerless. It was enough to crush one’s spirit.
Shi Hao pressed forward, advancing deeper into the continent. Soon, he was drenched in blood, his battle robes torn, his hair soaked crimson.
A tribulation of this magnitude was unprecedented, targeting him with such ferocity—it was horrifying.
“Even the ancient first tribulation was no worse than this!” someone murmured, sensing that Shi Hao might perish. This was a trial no one could overcome.
“You’re wrong. This is likely a tribulation without precedent—at this level, nothing stronger has ever been recorded.”
Because in this era where tribulations no longer descended naturally, forcibly summoning one would amplify its power exponentially. The heavens sought to annihilate the challenger in a single stroke, punishing such defiance!
An already supreme tribulation, further enhanced—how terrifying would that be? It could be called the strongest in history, at least at this realm!
This was a nightmare. Shi Hao fought his way toward the heart of the continent, seeking passage to other lands.
Because between the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, only thunder bridges connected them. He had to advance step by step, unable to simply soar into the sky—restrained by an overwhelming force.
This meant he had to fight his way through, traversing all Nine Heavens and Ten Earths without skipping a single one!
Yet by this point, he hadn’t even cleared the first continent—the Three Thousand Dao Provinces—and already he staggered, covered in wounds, blood streaming from his body.
Embedded in his flesh were eight or nine spears, dozens of arrows, and even a longsword lodged in his shoulder—his injuries were gruesome.
Worst of all, these weapons were all lightning, capable of exploding at any moment!
“Break!” Shi Hao bellowed.
Thunder erupted from his body as he activated the **Thunder Emperor’s Treasure Technique**, manipulating lightning to force the weapons out, detonating them outside his flesh.
This was a stroke of fortune—had they exploded inside him, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
Finally, Shi Hao encountered an exceptionally powerful being—a creature with partial royal bloodline, the supreme commander of this region. With a roar, it charged at him.
This being was at the **Slay Self** realm, crimson hair whipping in the wind, eyes like bronze bells, its massive frame wielding a crimson bone whip—unstoppable in its might!
“A royal at the Slay Self realm has appeared! This is too cruel—a certain-death scenario!” Many paled in horror.
How could anyone resist this? The tribulation was too fierce, impossible to withstand.
Yet Shi Hao showed no sign of despair. His eyes blazed like thunder, gleaming with divine light as he charged forward, gripping a weapon of lightning.
A battle of life and death—blood staining his battle robes!
Shi Hao fought desperately, holding nothing back as he clashed with this royal, all while fending off enemies from every direction.
The scene stunned onlookers—brutal yet inspiring! Because Shi Hao, alone, carved through the endless horde, slaughtering from east to west and back again. Beneath his feet, corpses piled like harvested wheat, rivers of blood flowing.
Remembering how their ancestors had been slaughtered, how the previous era had been buried under the might of the foreign creatures, the young cultivators watching felt their blood boil with battle fervor.
At last—he broke through!
Shi Hao fought his way out of this land, personally beheading the royal. Though his body was riddled with weapons, he had succeeded.
“He made it! He took the most crucial step!” someone exclaimed.
Shi Hao staggered, his body grievously wounded, nearly shattered—lacerated by blades, pierced by arrows, charred in places, his tattered robes soaked in blood.
He crossed the thunder bridge to the second continent, healing as he moved.
“Kill!”
But the enemies gave him no respite. Thousands swarmed him the moment he appeared, launching a relentless assault.
Shi Hao threw himself into the new battlefield, fighting with no way back. The only path was forward—or death awaited, his body reduced to ashes!
Battling through blood and thunder, Shi Hao collapsed multiple times. Many thought he had fallen—yet he rose again and again, pressing onward.
Thus, he cleared one trial after another, somehow reaching the end of the Ten Earths.
“This…” Many were stunned, unable to believe it.
Because at his worst, lightning weapons had pierced his body and detonated, nearly tearing him apart.
“He did it! He cleared the Ten Earths and ascended to the Nine Heavens!” someone shouted.
The cry snapped everyone back to reality. Gazing at his battered, bloodied form, they were awestruck—this was beyond belief.
Through rivers of blood and endless battles, Shi Hao had fought his way to the Nine Heavens!
