The thick, layered clouds seemed poised to crush the entire world; deep within them, countless lightning bolts danced wildly, emitting a chilling roar.

[Amidst this devastating pressure, a slender figure slowly rose into the air from the depths of the canyon.]

A howling wind caused her wide white Taoist robe to flutter loudly.

The woman gently closed her eyes, and most of her once black hair had turned snow-white.

But her full head of white hair did not diminish her beauty in the slightest; on the contrary, it accentuated her stunningly beautiful face, making her appear even more ethereal and otherworldly. She was like a goddess about to ascend to immortality, untouched by the mortal world.

"Qingqing."

A deep voice pierced through the fierce winds, coming from below.

You slowly opened your eyes and looked down.

"Remember what I told you: act within your means."

As Liu Guanzhi watched the impending tribulation lightning descend from the sky, his unease grew stronger.

[The power of this tribulation lightning is several times more terrifying than when he formed his core. This shows that your foundation is extremely profound, attracting extraordinary tribulation lightning.]

"Meow! Go Master, I'll protect you!"

[Zhou Xiaohei stands atop a mountain peak, waving his little fist to cheer you on.]

You nodded slightly, smiling at the person and the cat. At that moment, the gloom in the world seemed to dissipate somewhat.

[You immediately looked away, raised your head again, and stared directly at the rolling thunderclouds above.]

[Act within your means?]

From the moment you stepped into the world of cultivation, willing to trample your dignity underfoot for profit, you knew better than anyone that there was no turning back.

In this treacherous and perilous world of cultivation, only by seizing every opportunity to climb higher can one have a chance of reaching the other shore one's heart desires.

Furthermore, through countless simulations, you've come to understand one crucial truth:

On the path of cultivation, one wrong step leads to another; one missed opportunity will lead to repeated missed opportunities.

Once you take this step, you will no longer be an ant trampled upon in this vast world of cultivation.

[Instead, they are truly powerful figures capable of dominating a region!]

If you can't overcome this obstacle, what you lose will be far more than just a simulation opportunity; the impact on reality will be far more profound.

Therefore, for you, there has never been any concept of "doing what you can," just "doing your best is enough."

If you don't have the courage to die trying, what's the point of cultivating immortality?

[Boom!]

[Seemingly sensing your increasingly powerful aura, a bolt of blue lightning tore through the clouds, carrying a world-destroying pressure, and struck straight down towards the top of your head!]

The lightning seemed to have locked you in place, offering no chance to dodge.

[After making up your mind, the spiritual energy around you surged rapidly, quickly condensing into a pale blue protective shield above your head.]

【"Bang!"】

The pale blue shield was as fragile as paper before the lightning, shattering in a single strike. The raging bolt of lightning pierced through without hindrance, slamming squarely into your body.

A sharp pain shot through you, and a trickle of bright red blood slid down your forehead, making your already cold and aloof face appear even more breathtaking.

You didn't even frown; you simply raised your hand slowly and gently wiped away the glaring red stain with your fingertips.

[Instantly, your long, white hair began to flutter even without wind.]

Starting from the roots of her hair, strands of crimson gold spread like wildfire, transforming in the blink of an eye into long, flowing golden hair that cascaded freely down her back.

[As your hair color changed, dazzling golden light burst forth from within you, and a set of golden armor burst forth, perfectly enveloping your exquisite body.]

"Again!"

Your aura was overwhelming, your eyes burning with a tangible fighting spirit, piercing straight towards the roaring thunder dragon in the sky.

[Boom!]

The second bolt of lightning struck down fiercely.

This time, the lightning lost its azure hue, transforming into a chilling half-purple. Its power seemed subdued, yet it exuded a terrifying sense of crisis.

Without any hesitation, you charged headlong into the bolt of lightning.

[A tangible surge of spiritual energy erupted, enveloping you. You gathered all your strength and unleashed a punch!]

【"Bang!"】

[The fist collided with the thunder; although most of the force was dissipated, the violent, destructive aura still instantly permeated your limbs and bones.]

When you emerged from the lightning, your golden armor was riddled with cracks, and fine beads of blood seeped from your pale skin, making you look utterly wretched.

You raise the back of your hand and wipe away the blood from the corner of your lips.

[The overall power of this lightning wasn't strong, yet it seemed to possess a penetrating effect, directly piercing through your spiritual power and physical defenses, striking your meridians and sea of ​​consciousness.]

This is why your lack of defensive artifacts renders them completely ineffective.

[If the second level of the "Taiyin Xuan Shu Refining True Scripture" hadn't already tempered your meridians once, that attack just now would have completely rendered you incapable of fighting.]

Above the heavens, the tribulation clouds surged wildly once more, and an even more terrifying pressure was brewing.

"Qingqing, how about..."

[In the distance, Liu Guanzhi, who had been silently protecting the Dharma, finally couldn't help but speak up.]

As a steadfast seeker of the Way, he knew he shouldn't speak at this moment, but he also saw that you had almost no chance of withstanding the third blow.

【"Owner!"】

Zhou Xiaohei had forgotten how to meow; his fur stood on end, and his round eyes were fixed on the sky, as if he were about to rush up and shield you from lightning at any moment.

【"you..."】

A hint of helplessness flashed in your eyes, then you winked playfully at the man.

"Old Liu, if even you can't trust someone, then that person will really be heartbroken."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guanzhi opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he only slowly released his hand from his sleeve, uttering a low and firm word:

【"good!"】

Because he understood that this was a tribulation he had to face.

"Little Black!"

【"Meow~"】

【"obedient."】

You glared at it, feigning anger, but a tenderness shone through your eyes.

"It's okay, I'll definitely come pick you up and take you home."

Whether it's reality or simulation.

【"Meow..."】

Little Black let out a low whimper. It glanced at you again, still worried, before finally turning away obediently and burying its head in its paws, expressing its concern in this clumsy way.

[Boom!]

[They've arrived.]

[You look at the lightning striking again, and a surge of overwhelming blood energy suddenly erupts from your body, instantly enveloping your entire body in a tangible crimson mist.]

You raise your hand, and a deep blue longsword appears before you.

[Immediately, your vital energy surged wildly into the sword light, and your face turned deathly pale at a visible speed.]

【"Ni Xuan!"】

This is a forbidden technique from the "Mysterious Heaven Sword Scripture," which uses one's own essence and blood as a guide to reverse the flow of energy, thereby pursuing the most powerful explosive force.

[Plus, the sword intent has been nurtured using secret techniques for nearly two hundred years.]

[Heavenly Tribulation?]

You sneered, and the moment you felt your life essence being squeezed to its limit, you drew your sword without hesitation.

The next moment, a terrifying sword intent powerful enough to cleave the heavens shot into the sky!
