In the blink of an eye, the massive crown of the Big Chun Tree rose like a mountain, billowing with thick smoke, while its branches everywhere caught fire, flames visible in all directions.

At the same time, countless verdant leaves were shattered by waves of tribulation thunder, and soon a large rain of fire fell from the sky.

Countless burning leaves and broken branches fell, with most of them landing inside the Suspended City, igniting countless buildings in succession, causing thick smoke to rise rapidly.

However, Feihong Ancestor paid no heed to this, his eyes fixed intently on the ancient bronze hall above, muttering to himself.

If anyone were close to him now, they would surely hear Feihong Ancestor repeatedly murmur: "Why haven't you acted yet? Why not, hurry and act..."

It seems that in the face of this great calamity of life and death, even the two-thousand-year-old Feihong Ancestor could not discern the mystery of life and death.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged in the center of the Thunder Palace, eyes closed and motionless, with a purple crystal pillar floating above his head.

This crystal pillar was about a foot long and as thick as a wrist, its surface gleaming brilliantly, seemingly having countless diamond-shaped facets that emitted dense purple thunder light, it was the long-unseen Ancient Thunder Tribulation Crystal.

From the onset of the great tribulation till now, he had been quietly waiting without making a move.

The reason he did so was that the withering and flourishing great tribulation for the Da Chun Divine Tree was both a calamity and a once-in-eight-thousand-years great opportunity.

Amidst the destructive bombardment of tribulation thunder, there often lay unimaginable vitality.

Only by enduring the tests of heaven and earth could the Da Chun Divine Tree successfully grow its third layer of tree crown after the great tribulation.

During the great tribulation, the more Zhao Sheng intervened, the more it would adversely affect the "rebirth" of the Da Chun Divine Tree.

Thus, as long as the divine tree did not show signs of failing the tribulation, Zhao Sheng would avoid intervening as much as possible.

According to ancient books, the third withering and flourishing great tribulation generally lasted three days and nights, with a total of six times six thirty-six rounds of Red Cloud Fire Thunder descending.

On the first day, a full six rounds of fire thunder descended, and Zhao Sheng did not intervene!

On the second day, twelve rounds of fire thunder came in succession, and Zhao Sheng still did not intervene, by this time, the first layer of the tree crown was burnt out, and the second layer of the tree crown began to undergo the bombardment of fire thunder.

That night, blazing flames illuminated most of the night sky, even from ten thousand miles away, one could see a huge "torch" burning red against half the sky, standing at the horizon, with thunder echoing across thirty thousand miles.

On the third day, the last eighteen rounds of fire thunder had already passed halfway, the upper half of the divine tree transformed entirely into a sea of fire, with the trunk covered in countless hideous cracks and pits, and the entire Suspended City destroyed, leaving only countless broken walls and ruins.

It was not until the last nine rounds of fire thunder descended that the ancient bronze hall, which had been silent for three days, abruptly erupted with unprecedented dazzling light.

In the next moment, a purple meteor shot out from the hall, swiftly arriving above the sixty-four Ten-thousand-year-old Annihilation Thunder Pillars, spinning swiftly before blasting out sixty-four beams of purple lightning that landed on all the crystal pillars.

In an instant, these Ten-thousand-year-old Annihilation Thunder Pillars surged with thunder light, immediately shooting out bolts of lightning that crossed and interwove to "weave" a super-large Eight Diagrams Thunder Net.

As soon as the Eight Diagrams Thunder Net was formed, the fire thunder throughout the sky was immediately drawn in, shifting their target, falling into the thunder net in succession, soon forming a large sea of thunder and fire "flowing" within the net, eventually pouring into the sixty-four pitch-black crystal pillars.

At the same time, with a thought, Zhao Sheng caused two thunderously radiant gourds to rush into the depths of the tribulation cloud, their gourd mouths bursting forth with boundless suction, causing the "tribulation cloud" across the sky to madly swirl into them, in an instant forming two gigantic vortexes across dozens of miles.

Until nightfall, the last piece of tribulation cloud in the heavenly vault's curtain quietly dissipated, and the withering and flourishing great tribulation finally came to a close!

Once the great tribulation was over, the Da Chun Divine Tree that was mostly destroyed immediately "came back to life," its towering trunk emitting a rich green light, turning the night sky a sky-blue in an instant.

It was seen that on the dense scorched branches, tender leaves were growing visibly to the naked eye, the leaves quickly growing larger and turning green, and countless new branches sprouting from the ashes, rapidly thickening and lengthening, while branching out more foliage.

Overnight, the Da Chun Divine Tree had become vibrant with renewed life, full of lush greenery.

It was just that this tree still needed at least a hundred years to grow a complete third layer of the tree crown, at that time its height would surely exceed three hundred miles, becoming a true miracle of life.

However, by that day, Zhao Sheng would likely have ascended to the Spirit Realm and would no longer be able to witness it.

After the withering and flourishing great tribulation, Feihong Ancestor immediately entered into a closed meditation to officially begin breaking through the God Transformation Barrier, and this retreat lasted a hundred years.

Time never stands still for anything; since the Chen Family successfully crossed the tribulation, the entire clan suddenly became unusually low-key, even learning from other ancient clans by announcing to the outside world a century-long closure of the tree and seclusion.

After completing his mission, Zhao Sheng did not stay long at the Chen Family, but after handling family affairs and leaving behind a legacy and a treasure, he quietly left during a winter day a few years later.

The several Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Chen Family knew that Zhao Sheng was preparing to ascend to the Spirit Realm, so they dared not detain him; after a few failed attempts to persuade him, they could only let him leave.

However, no one in the Chen Family could have imagined that Zhao Sheng did not ascend to the Spirit Realm at all but secretly arrived at a deserted island off the eastern sea.

...

Underneath the deserted island, in front of a grand palace as white as jade, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell.

As the lightning receded, Zhao Sheng's figure appeared.

The moment he showed up, two figures flew out from the palace, one was a Thunder God-faced man covered in yellow hair, the other a fawning Wang Teng Old Demon.

"Servants, greet the master!" Wang Teng and Su Yuan both knelt on one knee, respectfully shouting.

"Rise!" Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, commanding the two demons to rise.

Then, Zhao Sheng led the two of them and strode into the palace.

Upon entering, the palace was circular, with a diameter spanning several hundred feet, the ground was lined with dozens of gigantic white stone pillars supporting the dome.

In the center of the hall, there was a golden array about fifty to sixty feet in size, engraved with dense and profound array patterns.

Around the array stood twelve golden array pillars several feet tall, each carved with an imposing and majestic white tiger relief.

Presently, four imposing figures were rapidly working around the golden array, swiftly drawing array pattern diagrams.

At this time, a white-haired girl was standing beside a golden array pillar, embedding a silver array plate onto it.

"Master, the Breaking Void Array is eighty percent complete. It should be finished in about a month." Wang Teng Old Demon, quick-witted, explained to Zhao Sheng immediately.

At this time, everyone realized Zhao Sheng's arrival and stopped their actions in succession, casting respectful glances.

Over the years, all the Alien Race Gods had experienced Zhao Sheng's "might" and could say they were thoroughly convinced by him.

"Taoist Zhao, you finally came as agreed. It was worth our palace waiting for you for a year." The white-haired girl turned and walked up to Zhao Sheng, kindly smiling.

"The princess's generosity, this old man is very grateful," Zhao Sheng cupped his hands and said.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two of them entered the harem together and began secretly discussing the subsequent plans.

"Boom!"

A loud noise!

The hall suddenly shook, with the ground within a hundred miles collapsing instantly, dust swirling wildly.

The nearby void buzzed and quivered, stirring up a fierce storm.

The hall door trembled violently, revealing numerous cracked lines.

Upon entering, the palace was circular with a diameter of several hundred feet, supported by dozens of giant white stone pillars.

In the center of the hall, there was a golden array about fifty to sixty feet in size, engraved with dense and profound array patterns.

Golden array pillars about several feet tall stood around the array, each carved with imposing and majestic white tiger relief sculptures.

At the moment, four imposing figures were swiftly busy around the golden array, rapidly drawing array pattern designs.

At this time, a white-haired girl was standing beside a golden array pillar, embedding a silver array plate onto it.

"Master, the Breaking Void Array is eighty percent complete. It should be finished in about a month." Wang Teng Old Demon, being quick-witted, immediately explained to Zhao Sheng.

Upon realizing Zhao Sheng's arrival, everyone stopped their actions, casting respectful
