When the resonant voice of the Deacon Elder announced, "Si Lingle wins!", the vast Dimensional Battle Arena fell into a shocked silence, broken only by the sound of gasps and the weak hiss of energy turbulence.

Si Lingle’s effortless destruction of the "Wind and Fire Seven Tribulation Array" left a lasting impression on all who watched. Her seemingly insignificant figure stood alone against the backdrop of a broken space chaos, yet emanated an unfathomable, transcendent aura.

This was not merely a victory; it was a profound revelation of the power of laws.

On the high platform, the Sect Master and elders of the Thunder Extreme Immortal Sect exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with excitement and pride. Especially the Supreme Elder, who had always paid close attention to Si Lingle, trembled as he muttered, "Space Law... to comprehend and use it to this extent... there’s hope for our Thunder Extreme revival!"

With the hundred seats settled, the token symbolizing supreme honor for the Thunder Extreme Immortal Sect Core Disciple and the "Thunder Extreme Star Guide," which marked the path to the "Starfall Ancient Battlefield," were solemnly bestowed upon Si Lingle.

The token felt cool to the touch, while the Star Guide seemed to pulse with the universe’s heartbeat.

The entire sect erupted in celebration! Si Lingle’s name had transcended personal significance, now carrying the weight of the Thunder Extreme Immortal Sect’s hopes of returning to the pinnacle of the Immortal Domain after years of silence.

In the following days, the entire sect focused its resources on preparing the top hundred for the "Hanhai Struggle."

The sect’s most profound Void Classics were fully opened to the top hundred, accompanied by a dedicated Guardian Team composed of several elders to answer questions, attempting to unearth the deep potential within them before departure.

Si Lingle remained calm and indifferent as ever, retreating into secluded training within the Secret Realm provided by the sect, where silver-gray spatial ripples flickered around her, sometimes like a gentle breeze, sometimes like a raging storm.

She continuously honed and refined her mastery over space.

With a mere gesture, the sturdy space within the Secret Realm became as obedient as flowing water, folding, twisting, solidifying, or concealing as she pleased.

She gained a deeper understanding of her assessment of "Draw a Prison" in the battle against Ling Ge—space is not an absolute shackle; it can be a flowing battlefield and the strongest weapon.

During this brief meditative period, her cultivation naturally advanced to the Mid-stage Heavenly Immortal Realm.

At the moment of breakthrough, there was no earth-shattering commotion, only a region of several miles fell into absolute stillness and emptiness, as if time and space were entirely extracted in that instant, drawing astonishment from the Guardian Elders.

On this day, wind and thunder gathered at the peak, radiance spread in myriad paths. Outside the Thunder Extreme Immortal Sect’s mountain gate, a massive Cross-border Immortal Boat hovered in the air, its body outlined with Immortal Patterns, appearing as if countless star rivers flowed across it.

The Sect Master personally bid farewell, his gaze both solemn and fervent: "Disciples! The Starfall Ancient Battlefield is the shattered remnant of the ancient Immortal Demon battle, and now stands as the ultimate arena for the younger generation of the entire Immortal Domain!"

"Its rules are chaotic, time and space fragments abound, danger lurks everywhere. You will represent our Thunder Extreme Immortal Sect, competing with geniuses and prodigies from all major Immortal Domains, ancient sacred lands, and even hidden major sects! Combat, alliance, betrayal, plunder—all are common occurrences!"

"Your ultimate goal is to seize the ’Hanhai Key’! Remember, only with the key in hand can you unlock the door to the ’Nine Nether Sea Realm,’ the true realm of great opportunity, great fortune, and even the legacy of the Ancient Immortal King!"

"The sect shares in your honor and disgrace!"

A hundred disciples donned the sect’s specially made silver-gray battle robes, complementing the Thunder Extreme Star Guide.

"Disciples, receive your orders," they responded in unison.

The Immortal Boat activated, massive runes lit up, tearing through space, transforming into a stream of light, entering the chaotic and bloody hunting ground. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Ultimately, in the Hanhai Key competition, out of the hundred Thunder Extreme Immortal Sect disciples, twenty-eight seized the key.

The Fuyao Sacred Land secured the most keys, with thirty-seven.

The second was the Ten Thousand Swords Holy Sect, with thirty-four.

The number of keys obtained by the Thunder Extreme Immortal Sect ranked in the top ten, quite impressive.

With the Hanhai Key in hand, a cold, non-metallic, non-jade piece, yet it seemed to contain a gravitational pull towards infinite possibilities.

Si Lingle, along with other fellow sect members holding keys, amidst numerous envious, greedy, or fearful gazes, activated the power of the key.

The void before them rippled and dissolved like water waves, a sense of ancient desolation, heaviness, combined with the pure and nerve-wracking nature’s spiritual energy, descended upon them, instantly swallowing them.
