The Golden Core disciples fled Struggle Immortal Island.

But Zhang and the other two merely pulled back slightly, watching Zheng Fa on the training ground and the Heavenly Venerate in the sky.

The Nascent Soul Tribulation is one that affects the cultivator personally, and external forces cannot interfere. Otherwise, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation will increase tenfold or even hundredfold... Feeling the aura of the Heavenly Venerate overhead, even Zhang cautiously stepped back——

One Heavenly Venerate was already terrifying enough, imagining ten or a hundred of them was spine-chilling.

Yet, as she retreated, her eyes never left Zheng Fa for a moment, and she gripped the Qingjing Bamboo even tighter, filled with countless questions:

Why is my junior brother's Heavenly Thunder Tribulation so peculiar?

Zheng Fa was too busy to notice her gaze, sharing the same puzzle.

The appearance of the Heavenly Venerate had caught him completely off guard.

He slowly stood up, staring at the Heavenly Venerate's form. Although the figure had no face, thus no eyes or nose, Zheng Fa inexplicably felt——

The other was also watching him.

The Heavenly Venerate seemed alive!

From the black stone monument, streams of scorching white Thunder Light poured into the Heavenly Venerate, enhancing his aura, making it more powerful, or rather more lively.

Zheng Fa dared not act rashly, but his wariness grew.

Part of the reason he turned the Nascent Soul Tribulation into a lecture was that he didn't regard the Nascent Soul Tribulation seriously, given that in terms of strength, although he was no match for a genuine Dao Fruit, he was definitely superior to an ordinary Nascent Soul.

But now, it seemed this Heavenly Venerate was telling him—an extraordinary Nascent Soul has an extraordinary Nascent Soul Tribulation.

Junior Master Huang's homework didn't cover this!

Of course, Junior Master Huang was still too weak.

But in the next moment, Zheng Fa dismissed this thought:

The Heavenly Venerate suddenly lifted an arm, and Zheng Fa immediately became alert.

However, instead of attacking, the Heavenly Venerate formed his five fingers into a claw, aiming them at the Medicine Garden, emitting a thunderous rumble from his chest: "Clock!"

The Sun and Moon Clock in the Medicine Garden seemed summoned and soared over.

This was the first time Zheng Fa felt the Sun and Moon Clock escape his control!

Watching the Sun and Moon Clock float between him and the Heavenly Venerate, Zheng Fa had a sudden realization:

The appearance of the Heavenly Venerate might not be because his own strength was too great, but because of the Jiushan Realm!

...

The Sun and Moon Clock's intervention surprised Zhang as well, but she sensed another change instantly:

"The Jiushan Realm has changed! Qingjing Bamboo... seems to be suppressed!"

She turned to Jiao Wuji and saw him holding the Ten Thousand Demon Banner with a grim expression.

"The Ten Thousand Demon Banner has also lost ninety percent of its power."

The two raised their eyes to look at the Sun and Moon Clock. The Sun and Moon Clock shielded the sky, with stars rotating above it, seemingly rejecting anything that didn't belong to the Jiushan Realm.

The spiritual energy around them reverted to the state before Qingjing Bamboo was formed, and Zhang could feel that, except for Thunder Skills, other spells became useless again in the Jiushan Realm.

"That Fusang Wood..."

Zhang's voice was low, and the urgency in her eyes burned like fire.

Zheng Fa certainly felt it too; the Fusang Wood was exposed before but now was oppressed by the Sun and Moon Clock, retreating into his body, seemingly losing its former power.

Yet at the same time, a new force emerged within him... This force was from the Sun and Moon Clock!

The spiritual energy of the Jiushan Realm surged into Zheng Fa and the Heavenly Venerate's bodies like flowing through two pipes from the Sun and Moon Clock.

This energy carried a message, letting Zheng Fa understand why the Heavenly Venerate appeared and why the Sun and Moon Clock suddenly became active:

Because the Heavenly Venerate is the deity overseeing Tribulation Thunder from the Upper Upper Epoch!

When Zheng Fa's cultivation triggered the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, it directly awakened the consciousness of the Heavenly Venerate residual in the Sun and Moon Clock and the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.

At this moment, rather than saying Zheng Fa was undergoing the Nascent Soul Tribulation, it was more accurate to say the ancient Dao Fruit cultivator Heavenly Venerate suddenly revived from the Sun and Moon Clock, desiring to contest with himself, the new master of the Jiushan Realm!

Often, the Five Sects spoke of ancient immortals reviving, yet Zheng Fa's first encounter was with such a familiar Heavenly Venerate.

The Sun and Moon Clock suppressed all magical treasures and spirit plants that didn't originally belong to the Jiushan Realm but evenhandedly shared the spiritual energy between Zheng Fa and both sides...

As if selecting the true master.

Zheng Fa leaped, forming a line in the sky with the Heavenly Venerate and the Sun and Moon Clock.

The spiritual energy within both was evenly matched.

Yet, above Zheng Fa, his Golden Core was like the rising sun, illuminating half the sky with dazzling golden light.

While behind the Heavenly Venerate, the stone monument was shrouded in dark air, ancient and desolate.

The Jiushan Realm's new and old masters, one bright and one dark, divided the sky into two halves.

This spectacle drew the attention of everyone in the Jiushan Realm.

On Paradise Island, Xiaoqing stood in the classroom, staring blankly at the silhouette of the Heavenly Venerate, murmuring:

"Lord of Thunder God..."

The memories carved into their bloodline allowed the ordinary people of the Jiushan Realm to instantly recognize the Heavenly Venerate's identity!

This was the Thunder God they had worshiped for generations.

Xiaoqing glanced at Zheng Fa, with a trace of confusion in her eyes.

This confusion quickly turned into worry.

Because the Heavenly Venerate made the first move!

He grasped with his five fingers, and a golden lightning bolt shot from the palm, striking straight at Zheng Fa's face.

"Tribulation Thunder!"

Zhang had studied the Heavenly Venerate Thunder Skill researched by Zheng Fa and immediately recognized the origin of this Thunder Skill.

Yet, this Tribulation Thunder wielded by the Heavenly Venerate was thousands of times more formidable than others.

The lightning was blinding, the sky roared with fury.

The enormous golden lightning shook the Heavenly Palace Nine Islands, causing them to tremble continuously.

The Blood River Ancestor, whose very soul feared the supremely rigid and yang Thunder Skill, flickered incessantly, showing a painful expression, seemingly greatly harmed.
