Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Two years have passed.

Today, it rains heavily.

In the Southern Domain of the Vast Origin Realm, most of the Starry Mountains are shrouded in thunderstorms due to the weather, with torrential rain pouring down and mist rising throughout the mountains. Countless Spirit Beasts within the mountain range also lie dormant.

And on this day—

Boom!

A massive explosion echoes from the depths of the Starry Mountains, and a shocking rainbow beam of light shoots up into the sky, piercing the heavens, causing the void to tremble.

The rainbow beam seems to root in the void, drawing energy from the endless void.

In an instant, all spiritual qi, earth qi, and the like within a million miles of the Starry Mountains vanish without a trace.

Generally, when breakthroughs occur in realms like Divinity Transformation or Nascent Soul, the phenomena of heaven and earth are visible, with a vortex forming around the breakthrough person, drawing in spiritual qi from all directions, creating quite a commotion.

However, breaking through to Refining Void involves touching the void!

Directly drawing spiritual qi from the void.

"Roar..."

"Howl..."

Within the Starry Mountains, countless Spirit Beasts feel an inexplicable fear, and many powerful Spirit Beasts instinctively flee.

At once, a massive beast tide erupts throughout the Starry Mountains, with Spirit Beasts crazily rushing outward.

Not only in the million-mile area of the Starry Mountains, but even in many neighboring countries and cultivation forces, the spiritual qi in their sects suddenly vanishes, as if the Spirit Veins have dried up, causing great panic.

"What is happening?"

"What happened?"

"This... the spiritual qi disappeared from the void, could it be that a legendary Void Refining expert has made a move? Or has someone in our Vast Origin Realm broken through to Refining Void?"

People are shocked.

Many forces feel this and gaze towards the Starry Mountains, but no one dares to approach.

For the Refining Void level is not something that Nascent Soul or True Core cultivators dare to pry into, a single thought from a Void Refining master can kill a True Core!

Very terrifying.

"Quick, send word out, that an unknown expert in this realm has broken through to Refining Void!"

"Yes, if someone from the Demon Sect breaks through to Refining Void, then it’s over!"

Meanwhile, various messages are sent out.

...

In the Starry Mountains.

The vast spiritual qi continuously draws from the void, and numerous rule fragments are being comprehended by Li An. Above him, the void has turned into a black hole-like space that is impenetrable by others.

Within that black hole-like dimension space, Li An’s Life Seed phenomenon is astonishing, transforming into a colossal ancient tree, ever clearer.

The giant tree seems to connect to the heavens above and take root in the underworld below. Each leaf holds the marks of a world’s survival, and each branch seems to hang with the corpses of peerless experts.

Only a moment left!

Just at this explosive moment, in his cave, Li An suddenly activates an array. Instantly, five Celestial Thunder Stones buried around him explode with his aura—

Once the Celestial Thunder Stones burst open, they transform into several astonishing arcs of electricity, reaching towards the sky like devilish claws!

The pulse of the Celestial Thunder Stones immediately stirs the heavens.

Boom!

In the sky, like the heavens are enraged, Dianmu is furious, and suddenly celestial thunder crashes down!

Li An has angered creations, invoking the Celestial Tribulation!

Generally, below the Harmonization Dao level, one doesn’t have the qualification to attract the attention of creation. Only when yin and yang of Harmonization Dao merge can creation be sensed, possibly ushering thunder tribulation.

But that’s just the general case.

Using the Celestial Thunder Stone is an active provocation!

Creation doesn’t mind giving cultivators a bit of punishment.

Commonly, ordinary cultivators lack the courage to do this, because without the merging of yin and yang, a cultivator’s life force is limited and cannot continuously generate between yin and yang, life cannot endure!

Now, Li An did it!

Thunder crashes down, and Li An directly opens his eyes, activating the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill rapidly. He willingly accepts a celestial thunder into his body, striking his Life Seed.

Crack!

At this moment, Li An is struck by lightning!

A terrifying thick blue arc penetrates his entire body; Li An has already tossed aside his magical treasures to avoid destruction, his clothes turning to char, his skin charred black as if cooked, the power of celestial thunder smashing into his dantian, rushing towards his Life Seed.

The power of celestial thunder, extremely fierce and strong, seems capable of destroying everything, almost tearing apart Li An’s dantian, with his Life Seed’s roots, branches, and leaves shivering and directly shredding the main body.

But under the urging of the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, the Life Seed almost instantly rejuvenates, with even fresher branches and leaves sprouting, its life aura seems to reach a higher level, becoming more resilient, containing a trace of thunder power.

Li An’s body spasms with pain, not dying due to the nurturing of the Life Seed, he grits his teeth in agony but immediately calls forth the second celestial thunder.

The more thunder drawn, the better the tempering of the Life Seed.

Boom!

The second celestial thunder also falls, larger and more forceful than the previous one, Li An’s chest and back are directly ripped open, his flesh charred black, even his white bones darkened.

This time the celestial thunder engulfs his entire body, his five viscera and six bowels are all bleeding.

The Life Seed is destroyed once again, his dantian cracks open, even his Purple Mansion is struck by lightning, the Nascent Soul lets out a shrill wail—

"Continue, continue!"

Li An grits his teeth, his eyes bulging like a dead man’s, terrifying to the extreme,

The third thunderbolt!
