The Spiritual Energy vortex caused by the five Divine Trees grew bigger and bigger with each passing moment.

 

In fact, they even seemed to be merging into one.

 

If one looked from afar, they would notice that the Spiritual Energy Vortex had already engulfed nearly half of the Solar System, and even the surrounding asteroid belt.

 

And the very moment these vortexes had manifested, thick, pitch-black clouds had started gathering above, swallowing most of the Solar System, and plunging it into darkness.

 

*Crackle…Crackle…Crackle…* A cacophony of deafening peals of thunder filled the world, while a terrifying pressure, the might of the Heavens, came bearing down.

 

Even Yu Zi Yu’s heart could help but start pounding.

 

“It has only just begun, yet it already holds such majesty?” Gazing at the Lightning Dragons swimming within the depths of the pitch-black clouds, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

 

This was the Tribulation of the Seventh Order, the majestic might of Heaven was truly terrifying beyond measure.

 

However, this was merely the beginning, for Yu Zi Yu’s Divine Forms had yet to fully merge.

 

*Hoooo…* Taking a deep breath, Yu Zi Yu channeled his Spiritual Energy and attempted to merge his five forms into one.

 

Bit by bit, the five forms drew close together.

 

However, the closer they got, the more he could feel a force of unfathomable magnitude repelling their fusion.

 

A being formed from the union of the five forms should not exist in this world.

 

In short, Heaven was rejecting it, obstructing its formation.

 

*Crackle…* As they inched closer to each other, innumerable fine arcs of lightning appeared around the five forms, which only grew denser as Yu Zi Yu continued his attempt at fusion.

 

He could even feel the Divine Forms repelling each other.

 

“As expected, the difficulty of this fusion is beyond ordinary.” Chuckling, Yu Zi Yu chose to proceed at a slow and steady pace.

 

He was in no rush, and he could tell that this process would take at least several dozen days.

 

Moreover, as he turned his gaze upward, at the ever-thickening clouds in the starry expanse, Yu Zi Yu understood that when his five forms finally merged, an earth-shattering tribulation would descend upon him.

 

And that would be the true catastrophe.

 

…

 

Meanwhile, in the Central Sector of the cosmos…

 

*Boooom…* Suddenly, an ancient, Towering Tree quivered slightly, sending ripples through space.

 

Then, from deep within the starry expanse, a hoarse, aged voice echoed, “So soon… someone is attempting to break through to the Realm of Hegemony?”

 

However, before the voice could continue, he abruptly stopped as if sensing something.

 

Then, with a hint of astonishment, he spoke again, “Wait…”

 

Filled with doubt and uncertainty, the Divine Tree shuddered violently.

 

“This… this is…” Before the aged voice could fully articulate his thoughts, a cold, ethereal voice rang directly in his mind, “It’s the ascension of the physical body, the Seven Order.”

 

Heaving a sigh, the cold voice continued, “Who would have thought that the one we had once overlooked would, in such a short time, grow to this level…”

 

“Indeed…” After a long silence, the aged voice fell into contemplation.

 

[Achieving the Seventh Transformation of the Physical Body, and that too in just a few decades, that’s far beyond the scope of mere talent. He must have obtained some Heaven-defying fortune. But… what a pity…! The Three Tribulations of Heaven, Earth, and Human are not so easy to overcome. Without sufficient preparation, let alone the Heaven and Earth Tribulations, even the Human Tribulation alone may prove insurmountable.]

 

Unlike others, the Heaven-Connecting Jianmu Tree understood better than anyone the sheer terror of these Three Tribulations.

 

The Heaven and Earth Tribulations were still within the scope of understanding.

 

Though terrifying, they were within the bounds of imagination.

 

However, the Human Tribulation, that was another matter entirely.

 

All past karmic ties would converge during the Human Tribulation.

 

A ruthless, bloodthirsty slaughterer might find themselves beset by vengeful geniuses whose kin they had slain. A virtuous monk might be obstructed by malevolent Demons seeking to end his path.

 

The terror of the Human Tribulation lay in the weight of karma itself. The seeds sown in the past would bear fruit in the present.

 

Thus, in many ways, the Human Tribulation was the most difficult to endure.

 

…

 

At this moment, however, Yu Zi Yu remained oblivious to this truth.

 

Compared to such concerns, he had already reached a crucial juncture.

 

*Crackle…Crackle…* Amidst the crackling of lightning, the five Divine Trees drew closer to each other by every passing moment.

 

At the same time, the force repelling their fusion grew ever more violent, until the repulsion reached its critical threshold.

 

*Boooom…* A deafening clap echoed across the Heavens as an enormous bolt of lightning, seemingly descending from the depths of eternity, struck down from the vast tribulation clouds gathered in the Starry Sky.

 

The majestic bolt of lightning struck with a deafening clap, causing his body to tremble violently.

 

Looking up, Yu Zi Yu noticed that all five forms of his were quivering under the impact, and even sank slightly as if they could barely withstand the force.

 

Adding more to his worries, aside from the Divine Lightning Tree, the remaining four Trees had all turned pitch black, scorched by the Tribulation.

 

This was the Seventh Order Tribulation, each bolt of lightning carried an apocalyptic might. It was nearly comparable to a strike from a Half-Step Hegemon.

 

More importantly, this was only the beginning.

 

The Tribulation was only going to grow even more terrifying the further it progressed.

 

However, as horrifying as Tribulation was, as an external force, it paradoxically accelerated the fusion of Yu Zi Yu’s five forms.

 

Sensing the crisis, their instinct for survival compelled the five Divine Trees, all quivering, to merge further.

 

Of course, this fusion was minimal.

 

If they had been halfway through the fusion, the fusion had only progressed by another 10%.

 

Even so, for Yu Zi Yu, this came as a pleasant surprise to Yu Zi Yu.

 

A subtle smile bloomed on his lips, and he began preparing to face the next wave of Tribulation.

 

*Hoooo…* Exhaling a long, deep breath, Yu Zi Yu gazed at the vast vortex of dark clouds swirling in the sky.

 

The vortex, stretching far and wide, seemed eerie and eternal.

 

Within its depths, flickering streaks of lightning grew ever more dazzling…As if they were gathering, as if they were waiting.

 

Meanwhile, an unfathomable pressure filled the world, growing more and more suffocating.

 

Countless beings could barely draw breath under its weight. Even entire planets, spinning in their orbits, faltered for a brief moment, as if seized by fear, as if bowing in reverence.

 

This was the might of Heaven!

 

However, at that very moment, unnoticed by all, from the distant edge of the cosmos—

 

*Whoosh…* A streak of unfathomably deep, abyssal-like black streak pierced through space, traveling at a speed beyond mortal perception, hurtling toward Yu Zi Yu’s location.
