At that moment, deep within the lightning, Ye Fan was suffering greatly, for the thunder of the Great Nirvana was terrifyingly powerful.

"Agh!" Ye Fan spat out a mouthful of blood. He could tell the lightning had only just begun, but he was already unable to withstand it.

Just then, the lightning coalesced into three human figures that appeared before him.

"A Monstrous Nirvana!" The Main Gods were shocked. They had never seen such a Nirvana before—one that could manifest human forms. All three figures were incredibly formidable.

This was truly special treatment for Ye Fan. The Main Gods were stunned. Faced with such a grand Nirvana, they could only watch, wishing they could record this moment for eternity. At this point, even the Red Sand Main God no longer cared that his Immortal Palace was being destroyed.

He was eager to see how this monster would overcome such a terrifying Nirvana. An ordeal like this was a once-in-a-thousand-year event. Even the Ancestor of Tianyuan of old had never faced such a thing.

They knew Ye Fan was extraordinary. If he could grow unimpeded, there was no doubt that he would become an unrivaled King capable of contending with the Tao World. To witness this spectacle meant they could die without regret.

Standing in the midst of the Heavenly Tribulation, Ye Fan watched the three ethereal figures rush toward him. He immediately shouted, "Come on! I want to see if you’re as terrifying as the rumors say. Even if you are the Heavenly Dao, I will conquer you!"

It had to be said that his tone was arrogant to an unparalleled degree. It wasn’t that he was truly so audacious, but he knew showing weakness wouldn’t spare him. Since submission was not an option, why not be more ferocious?

So, he charged forward, striking one of the figures and sending it flying backward. The other two figures suddenly lunged, flanking him from the left and right with extreme speed, restraining him in the blink of an eye.

The figure that had been sent flying now attacked from the front. The three ethereal figures tore at different parts of his body, threatening to rip him apart. The scene was truly terrifying.

Ye Fan felt as if every joint in his body was about to shatter. Of course, the pain wasn’t limited to that; if it were, he could still endure it. The torment was compounded by the lightning strikes of the Heavenly Tribulation, which pierced his very soul as if thousands of Great Daos were locking down his body.

"Not good! He’s in danger!"

Godslayer wanted to go up and help, but the Red Sand Main God blocked him. Not understanding his intention, Godslayer immediately asked, "What are you doing?"

"That is his Nirvana," the Red Sand Main God said. "He must endure it himself. None of us can help him!

"This is the Heavenly Dao’s test for him. If we go up to help, we will inevitably suffer the Heavenly Dao’s backlash!"

At the Red Sand Main God’s words, Godslayer stopped. Still, he was overcome with the urge to charge into the fray. The others were also deeply worried for Ye Fan.

At this moment, Ye Fan stood his ground, enduring one harrowing strike after another in a seemingly endless trial.

"Ahhh!" Ye Fan let out a soul-stirring, miserable scream, as if he were shouldering all the suffering in the world.

Then, he roared, "By my power, I will vanquish all!"

With his roar, the golden light radiating from his body grew ever more intense. When the light was fully unleashed, he immediately tore the three figures asunder. The golden radiance spread for a hundred miles in every direction.

The Red Sand Main God was shocked. What’s happening? This light is so blinding, I can’t even keep my eyes open!

The Evil Punishment Main God was also stunned. The air is permeated with a domineering aura that carries the strongest oppression. It’s so mighty that it forces one to halt in their tracks!

As for Godslayer, he felt nothing but unparalleled worship. He adored this power, this aura, and nearly dropped to his knees. He knew that once such a powerhouse rose, countless mighty experts would surely follow him, and he would be one of them.

Wu Fa and Mu Chen Dong, on the other hand, went blank. It was as if the scene had completely frozen their minds.

The golden light began to dim—no, it was being retracted into Ye Fan’s body. He felt a sense of calm and comfort as the Heavenly Dao’s oppressive presence began to fade.

Ye Fan let out a sigh of relief as his shattered body began to slowly heal under the baptism of the golden light. He knew this Nirvana had ended and that he had officially stepped into the ranks of the strong. After all, this was the starting point for the powerful.

Just as he was preparing to accept the baptism, a thunderbolt the size of a water vat suddenly descended from the sky.

"Damn it!"

BOOM!

The lightning struck him squarely. Caught completely unprepared, Ye Fan took the full force of the blow. Had it not been for the Peerless Divine Steel and the Vast Divine Steel, his body would have undoubtedly shattered. His Godhead began to tremble, and Ye Fan collapsed to the ground, full of indignation.

"What is going on?" The Main God Experts were also bewildered, having never witnessed such a bizarre phenomenon. Was this Nirvana ever going to end?

Indeed, as more lightning bore down on him, Ye Fan’s mind descended into chaos. Perhaps this was the heavens’ injustice toward him.

After a long while, he struggled to raise his head. Propping himself up on his hands, he shouted, "Thieving heavens, if you dare, strike me again! Haha! You don’t dare, do you?"

BOOM!

Another thunderbolt fell, flattening him completely. The onlookers watched in shock, thinking that Ye Fan was a perfect example of someone who just had to court death. Why provoke the heavens when you could have had a safe breakthrough? This was the price for challenging them; the heavens were more volatile than anyone.

At this time, the lightning in the sky receded. A rosy light shone upon Ye Fan, and he wholeheartedly accepted its baptism. Afterward, his eyes snapped open.

He was thrilled. He excitedly examined his body and found it was in peak condition. Upon closer inspection, his delight grew even greater, for one simple reason: he had broken through sixteen Heavenly Tribulations.

"So fast!" Ye Fan was completely stunned. He had never expected to break through sixteen Heavenly Tribulations at once. To say his speed was like a rocket would be no exaggeration.

"Sixteen Heavenly Tribulations!" The Main Gods were astonished. This was a horrifying spectacle the likes of which they had never seen. Sixteen Heavenly Tribulations! What a terrifying achievement.

In the Divine Domain, no one had ever passed so many at once. And while the extra six were only minor tribulations, even a minor Nirvana required decades, or even centuries, of accumulation. Yet Ye Fan had completed all that preparation in an instant.

The Main Gods unanimously believed that although Ye Fan’s breakthrough was rapid, his foundation must be unstable. But upon inspecting Ye Fan’s realm, they discovered his foundation was incredibly solid, unshakably so. If not for the heaven-defying abilities Ye Fan had already demonstrated, they would have thought they had encountered a demon. How could such a freak exist in this world
