In a desolate area within the Immortal Realm, the land stretched barren and vast, covering millions of miles devoid of life. Chu Mo chose to seclude himself here to break through to the pinnacle of the ascension phase for a reason. This place appeared to have thin spirit energy, significantly less than other parts of the Immortal Realm, and even some better places in the Spirit Realm couldn't compare.

Therefore, throughout the endless ages, hardly anyone chose to stay here. For cultivators of the Immortal Realm, they had no interest in even giving this place a second glance.

But in Chu Mo's eyes, this place was an extremely rare cultivation treasure!

In the past, when the great worlds split apart, the areas with the weakest spiritual energy formed the Mortal Realm. As time passed, the spirit energy gradually depleted, until eventually, there were no cultivators left in the Mortal Realm, only the most rudimentary warriors. Those who could cultivate to the innate realm were already individuals with extraordinary talents and stunning abilities.

The spirit energy of the Spirit Realm wasn't copious, but it was at least sufficient to sustain cultivators, and in some places, the spirit energy was quite rich.

The spirit energy in the Immortal Realm was much better, even very rich.

The Heavenly Realm was definitely the best, with the most abundant spirit energy, which did not diminish even post-split.

But Chu Mo always felt that in the Immortal Realm, there shouldn't be places where the spirit energy was almost as depleted as the Mortal Realm. Therefore, under the Technique of Energy Observation, it was clear that the sealed spirit veins deep underground were unmistakably visible.

Chu Mo sat directly in the center of this area, first using the qian character mnemonic from the Nine Word Mantra to stir the Five Elements in this vicinity, breaking directly through the seal over the spirit veins beneath the earth. Then he began to practice the Dao's ultimate technique from the "Heaven's Will, My Will".

Vast essence energy from Heaven and Earth rolled towards Chu Mo's elixir field, where the Five-Colored Dao Platform spun wildly, absorbing massive amounts of essence energy, transforming it into bodily strength, and continuously thrusting toward higher levels.

This method, if seen by the outside world, would definitely shock them incredibly, as very few people could cultivate in this manner.

There might be such Heavenly Geniuses in the Heavenly Realm, such as those young cultivators who had embarked on the path of emperors. But in the Immortal Realm, almost no one could do this.

Chu Mo's realm was rapidly advancing, the speed of improvement even slightly frightening him.

He had always been afraid of an unstable foundation in his cultivation, thus every step he took was extremely steady. But there were priorities in everything, and at critical moments, Chu Mo displayed a strong resolve to breakthrough, unstoppable by anyone.

Boom!

The shackles within his body were shattered one by one.

The human body itself is a great treasure containing the ultimate truths of Heaven and Earth, aligning with the Great Dao. This is why humanoid cultivators advance much faster than those non-human beings—the fundamental reason.

Humans are the true darlings of the universe, envied by all other creatures.

Chu Mo's realm continued to soar at high speed. If one were to look down from above, Chu Mo's location would resemble a massive vortex, with copious essence energy bursting from deep within the Earth, roaring toward him.

Three days!

Within just three days, Chu Mo directly advanced to the pinnacle of the ascension phase.

Then, he stood up, ceasing his absorption of the essence energy from the land. His Dao originated from this piece of Heaven and Earth, and so did his advancement. Even if he was eager to quickly elevate, he didn't want to render this place truly barren.

As Chu Mo stopped absorbing from the spirit veins deep underground, the area began to change, with vast essence energy flowing in all directions, quickly… reaching a state of equilibrium with the endless distance beyond.

Perhaps, in many years, this place would slowly see an influx of numerous cultivators.

At this moment, Chu Mo had ascended into the high skies, directly invoking the Heavenly Tribulation!

Threefold Heavenly Tribulation!

Previously, Chu Mo had not initiated two instances of Heavenly Tribulation; this time, facing the tribulation of the ascension phase, Chu Mo simultaneously invoked the threefold Heavenly Tribulation.

The first, was the tribulation from the Spirit Refining phase to the Mahayana phase. Upon invocation, Chu Mo did not hesitate at all and directly initiated the second tribulation—the Mahayana to ascension phase tribulation!

In the skies above, the speed at which the clouds of tribulation gathered was terrifying. It was almost instantaneous; purplish heavenly lightning erupted, striking at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo stood erect in the void, his body exploding with blood energy as his aura surged like a dragon, staunchly withstanding these two tribulations and directly initiating the tribulation from the ascension phase to the greater Luo Golden Immortal phase!

Boom, boom, boom!

This part of Heaven and Earth was completely tumultuous.

Endless clouds of tribulation covered the entire sky, a vast array of Heavenly Tribulation lightning formed, and massive purplish bolts of lightning horizontally slashed at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo's black hair whipped about in the void. Using his bare hands, he continually formed seals, incredibly guiding the heavenly lightning into his body!

Refining!

Constant refining!

He didn't use the lightning avoidance mnemonic, instead, he drew all the heavenly lightning into his body, continuously refining his already immensely powerful ancestral body.

A sharp sword comes from grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossom comes from the cold.

Even for unparalleled heavenly geniuses, on the path of cultivation, they still need to constantly temper themselves, constantly endure hardships.

The gray tribulation clouds tumbled and surged, and the purple lightning flashed in clusters, with a shocking momentum.

The commotion here had also caught the attention of cultivators from the Immortal Realm, who were very far away.

Those cultivators all watched from a distance, not daring to come closer. Although they recognized that someone was undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation, they were all astonished.

They had seen the Heavenly Tribulation of Ascension-stage cultivators before, but such a terrifying tribulation was their first encounter.

"Who is undergoing the tribulation here? It's too terrifying, right?"

"The scale of this Heavenly Tribulation... I've never heard of it before,"

Some cultivators, looking in the far distance, were filled with shock in their eyes.

At this moment, Chu Mo had almost completely passed through the triple Heavenly Tribulation.

In the void above his head, a huge purple lightning ball was still condensing, emitting a terrifying aura that, even billions of miles away, could be felt.

"My heavens… Is this really the Heavenly Tribulation for an Ascension-stage cultivator? If that's the case… then I'd rather never go to the Heavenly Realm!"

"Us cultivators of the Immortal Realm, aiming to break through the barrier in the void to enter the Heavenly Realm find it so difficult, this kind of Heavenly Tribulation could probably blast me to ashes in a blink of an eye!"

Some cultivators were directly scared.

However, there were also those more experienced cultivators who said this was definitely not a normal Ascension-stage cultivator's Heavenly Tribulation.

"Trying to break through the barrier between the Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Realm, and pass the Heavenly Tribulation, although very hard, should not be like this. There must be some other reason involved."

Afterward, many people began to speculate about the identity of the person undergoing the tribulation for Ascension, but given the vastness of the Immortal Realm and the many Ascension-stage cultivators, nobody dared to approach that area to see who it was. Being billions of miles away, even Ascension-stage great cultivators didn't have such sharp eyesight to see the person's appearance through the tribulation clouds and lightning flashes.

Boom!

That purple lightning ball finally smashed towards Chu Mo. The speed… was unbelievably fast.

Almost instantly, Chu Mo was struck.

His body trembled slightly. Then, the lightning ball actually rushed into his elixir field.

It emitted an extremely terrifying aura and was actually targeting his Dao Platform!

If anyone else had seen this scene, they would have been scared half to death. Where was this a Heavenly Tribulation? It was clearly Heaven trying to kill someone!

Once the purple lightning ball reached Chu Mo's elixir field, the Five-Colored Dao Platform emitted divine lights of five colors, firmly trapping the lightning ball. Then... it began frantically absorbing the formidable power from the lightning ball.

Boom!

The final barrier on Chu Mo's body opened up.

In the skies above, the barrier between the Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Realm, in Chu Mo's eyes, was also clearly visible.

Chu Mo's figure flashed, appeared there, and tore open a crack in the barrier with his bare hands... his figure vanished instantly from the Immortal Realm.
