This Chaos Green Lotus was the foundation for Fang Hong’s future path of cultivate, carrying his path of the Dao, encompassing all Laws, with endless potential.

The manifestation of the Dao foundation meant that Fang Hong had successfully completed his breakthrough, officially stepping into the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

The moment the Chaos Green Lotus completely stabilized and the Dao foundation fully manifested, the space above the Immortal Cave suddenly shook violently.

A massive spatial rift instantly tore open, and the terrifying power of the Heavenly Tribulation clouds permeated from within.

The Dao Extinguishing Tribulation was about to descend.

This was the final test that one must endure to advance to the Immortal Emperor Realm, and it was also the most dangerous one; a moment of carelessness would result in death and the dissipation of the Dao, with all previous efforts wasted.

Within that massive spatial rift, sinister winds howled, heavenly thunder rolled, and heavenly fire burned fiercely.

The Three Calamities appeared simultaneously, each type of calamity containing terrifying power sufficient to destroy a Dao foundation.

Moreover, Fang Hong cultivated thirteen different Dao Laws, so the Dao Extinguishing Tribulation he attracted was far more powerful than the Heavenly Tribulation of an ordinary Immortal Emperor, reaching a truly terrifying level.

In an instant, the entire sky was dyed blood-red, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

Fortunately, Fang Hong had been well prepared and had laid down layers of restrictions around his Immortal Cave in advance, masking most of the commotion caused by the Heavenly Tribulation.

Otherwise, such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation phenomenon would inevitably have caused the entire Dao Lineage to tremble and attracted countless prying eyes.

Fang Hong looked up at the constantly expanding spatial rift in the high sky, but instead of being afraid, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Boom.

The next moment, the Dao Extinguishing Tribulation erupted completely.

The raging heavenly fire poured down like a waterfall, sinister winds swept across the surroundings, and the heavenly thunder crashed down with an aura that destroyed everything.

The Three Calamities descended simultaneously; lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the air, and the terrifying fluctuations of the disaster caused the entire space to tremble violently.

Facing such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, Fang Hong did not dodge in the slightest.

He immediately circulated the Devouring Tribulation Divine Art, and a brilliant golden light instantly flashed over his body, wrapping him completely, and then he let the Three Calamities land on him.

Zzzzt.

As soon as the Three Calamities touched the golden light on Fang Hong’s body, they immediately erupted with blinding radiance.

Accompanied by bursts of sizzling explosions, a powerful impact force instantly spread outward.

The Immortal Cave where Fang Hong had been in seclusion for many years was completely reduced to nothing; gravel flew, and smoke and dust filled the air.

However, under the assault of such a terrifying natural disaster, Fang Hong remained unmoved.

Like an old monk in meditation, he hovered cross-legged in mid-air, his entire body glowing with golden light, blocking all the tribulation power outside his body.

The Devouring Tribulation Divine Art did not disappoint Fang Hong.

It not only cleverly neutralized the invasion of the natural disaster but also converted the pure power contained within the Heavenly Tribulation for his own use, continuously pouring it into his physical body, tempering Fang Hong’s physique.

Tempered over and over again, the strength of Fang Hong’s physical body rapidly grew stronger under the nourishment of the Heavenly Tribulation’s power, becoming increasingly resilient and powerful.

"I hope this Heavenly Tribulation can last a little longer..." Fang Hong thought to himself.

The Devouring Tribulation Divine Art was progressing rapidly under the stimulation of the Dao Extinguishing Tribulation. If the Heavenly Tribulation could last a bit longer, perhaps he could take this opportunity to break through to a higher level!

If other Cultivators knew of this thought of Fang Hong’s, they would likely be dumbfounded, perhaps even doubting their own lives.

For the vast majority of Cultivators, the Dao Extinguishing Tribulation was a life-and-death ordeal that they would avoid at all costs.

Everyone hoped that the Heavenly Tribulation would end sooner, and they would thank the heavens if they could just survive it. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

But Fang Hong, on the other hand, was not only unafraid but actually wished for the Heavenly Tribulation to last longer...

The Three Calamities descended again and again, their power growing stronger; the heavenly thunder grew thicker, the heavenly fire grew more intense, and the sinister winds grew fiercer.

But no matter how much the power of the Heavenly Tribulation increased, it could not injure Fang Hong in the slightest. All the tribulation power was eventually absorbed and converted by his Devouring Tribulation Divine Art, becoming nourishment for his growth.

Three days later, the Heavenly Tribulation showed no signs of stopping; instead, it became increasingly violent.

Ten days passed, and the power of the Dao Extinguishing Tribulation was still increasing.

A month later, the Heavenly Tribulation was still ongoing, as if it had no end, while the golden light on Fang Hong’s body grew brighter, and the aura of his physical body became increasingly terrifying.

...

Time passed day by day. For a full three months, this terrifying Dao Extinguishing Tribulation descended continuously, and finally, it gradually subsided.

The blood-red color in the sky slowly faded, the tribulation clouds dissipated, and the spatial rift slowly closed.

Fang Hong was still hovering in the high sky, the golden light around his body not yet completely dissipated.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes sharply, and two brilliant golden rays shot straight into the sky, his whole body erupting with ten thousand zhang of golden light!

A powerful pressure far exceeding that of an ordinary Immortal Emperor surged out from Fang Hong, sweeping across the surroundings and causing the world to tremble!

After a few breaths, Fang Hong slowly restrained his aura, the golden light on his body gradually dissipated, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

For Fang Hong, these three months of Heavenly Tribulation were not a trial, but a great opportunity.

Thanks to the Heavenly Tribulation striking him for three full months, his Devouring Tribulation Divine Art, nourished by the continuous power of the Heavenly Tribulation, had officially cultivated to the third layer!

The third layer of the Devouring Tribulation Divine Art had already undergone a qualitative leap in power.

With Fang Hong’s current physical body strength, a single punch could directly blow up a Late Immortal Emperor Expert!

This was the strength of Fang Hong’s physical body at this moment.

As for his Divine Sense, thanks to the profound nature of the Soul Ascension Art and the day-and-night nourishment of the Soul Nurturing Pearl, it had also reached the level of a Late Immortal Emperor.

"Finally reached the Immortal Emperor Realm."

Fang Hong looked at his hands, unable to help but sigh with emotion.

An Immortal Emperor Expert could sit firmly in the position of a core Elder in any Dao Lineage and be respected by thousands of disciples.

That was truly standing among the first-grade experts of the Immortal Realm, and they were the rulers and overlords of many Dao Lineages, with immense power.

Above the Immortal Emperor was the Celestial Venerable, the Supreme being of the heavens, the true top expert of the Immortal Realm.

If a Saint did not appear, the Celestial Venerable was the symbol of invincibility in the Immortal Realm.

As for the Saint realm, that was even more detached from the shackles of the Dao, mysterious, unpredictable, and ethereal.

Throughout history, those who could reach this realm were few and far between, and had long ago become existence in the legends of the Immortal Realm...

Fang Hong quickly gathered his thoughts and discarded those distant notions.

The path of cultivate required taking it one step at a time; the realms of Celestial Venerable and Saint were too far away for him right now.

The most urgent thing at the moment was how to cultivate steadily and break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm as soon as possible.

Fang Hong raised his right hand, and in his palm, a soft green light quietly emerged, slowly spreading in all directions.

The next moment, an astonishing scene appeared.

The Immortal Cave, which had been completely destroyed by the violent Heavenly Tribulation when he was promoted to the Immortal Emperor Realm, was rapidly restoring itself at a speed visible to the naked eye under the shroud of the green light.

In the blink of an eye, it had returned to its intact state, as if the destruction before had never happened.
