No!

Yet another Outer Celestial Demon emerged, thus completing the tribulation of Outer Demon Obstructing the Dao.

Suddenly, a gigantic gate of the Demon Realm opened above the Three Emperors Platform, and a faint demonic qi flowed out from it.

It was a somewhat ignorant young Celestial Demon, having just cultivated to the level of an Outer Heaven Demon, its Dao practice comparable to a True Immortal Level.

It had been cultivating on a hilltop in the Outer Celestial Demon Realm when suddenly someone kicked it out.

However, it no longer had much time to daze, as the next moment a purple-gold immortal light emerged, piercing through its demon body, turning it to dust.

After its fall, the infinite demonic qi surging in the depths of the void was instantly dispelled by waves of purple-gold immortal light.

The third tribulation had also passed.

But soon after, Zhang Jian’s expression suddenly changed, as he felt his Primordial Spirit Dao Heart was instantly enveloped by a grand and vast might, a power that was majestic and swept him through the Daoist Monarch Position deep in the Sea of Chaos Origin, instantly drawing him into a grand river of space-time and destiny.

This power was unimaginably strong, seemingly the power of all heavens and myriads of worlds themselves, carrying his Primordial Spirit Dao Heart through the endless space-time river, flying towards the depths of the source of space-time.

In the depths of the river of time, Zhang Jian saw the origin of billions of beings and the beginning of all things.

He could see the rise of countless Immortal Cities, Immortal Sects, and ancient Divine Races.

As the power of space-time reversed, Zhang Jian at this moment could not differentiate if he was dreaming back to ancient times or if he was simply engulfed by a vast fragment of heavenly space-time.

Zhang Jian inclined towards the former.

Regarding the four tribulations of formation, sustenance, destruction, and emptiness, Zhang Jian had some insights.

This tribulation usually had much to do with the formation, sustenance, destruction, and emptiness of a certain Celestial Realm.

However, the specific situation varied greatly for each Tribulation Crosser.

In the ancient texts of the Celestial Court, some Tribulation Crossers found themselves truly returning to the time of Heaven and Earth Creation, needing to complete special cultivation therein, planting the Great Dao at the time of Heaven and Earth Creation, to return.

Some entered a fragment of heavenly space-time.

Yet some even arrived in the Time Illusion Realm of an Other Dimensional Celestial Realm.

But no matter which place they entered, they must re-establish the Daoist Monarch Origin, thus connecting ancient and present, achieving eternal freedom in all space-time.

As space-time and years flew by, Zhang Jian could still clearly reflect that his Daoist Monarch Dao Fruit was still rapidly harmonizing.

His Daoist Monarch Body remained under control.

"I just don’t know what my formation tribulation will be?"

Zhang Jian mused to himself at this moment.

There was some fluctuation in his eyes, hoping for some good luck.

Every Immortal God attempting to cross the Destruction Tribulation enters an ancient era, but the four tribulations of formation, sustenance, destruction, and emptiness are very different.

Some are quite easy, some are akin to hellish difficulty.

Most Immortal Gods attempting to cross the Destruction Tribulation tend to perish in these last four tribulations.

Simultaneously, as he traveled back through ancient years into the depths of heavenly space-time, suddenly, four indescribably terrifying forces came from the void, abruptly turning into a stream of light merging into his Daoist Monarch Immortal Body.

Zhang Jian then spread open his palm, seeing four distinct auras of power suddenly converging deep within it, forming four special patterns, together forming a pitch-black Jade Ruyi, like four Treasure Pearls on the Jade Ruyi, marked in a diamond shape.

Zhang Jian knew that this was the mark formed by the great calamities deep in the Sea of Chaos Origin.

This was also the restraint given by the Sea of Chaos Origin to every Tribulation Crosser.

Only by completing the four tribulations could one achieve a Daoist Monarch Body.

Zhang Jian could feel that the transformation of the Daoist Monarch Dao Fruit was suppressed by the mark of the four tribulations. They were like four terrifying fetal marks affixed to his Primordial Spirit, Dao Heart, Dao Fruit, Dao Practice, and Immortal Body.

Their formation slowed the transformation of the Eternal Dao Fruit by countless times, like being rusted.

Zhang Jian’s expression, however, did not change at all.

As time and space flew by rapidly, Zhang Jian gradually saw the breathtaking formation of the Three Emperors Celestial Realm. He saw countless strong ones from the Human Race summoned from all directions by the Three Emperors Palace, entering the Three Emperors Celestial Realm with all their might to strengthen it.

Amongst these, he also saw countless evil demons lingering outside the Three Emperors Celestial Realm, fighting bloody battles with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and numerous strong ones from the Human Race.

Above, Immortal Gods fell like rain. Countless Immortal Gods perished in the battles, and infinite tribulation qi filled the center of the battlefield.

Many Immortal Gods seemed to have forgotten themselves, having only the will to survive on the battlefield.

Among them were Great Divine Ability Users, Ancient Venerables battling within, blood staining the surroundings of the Three Emperors Celestial Realm.

Zhang Jian’s expression changed as he watched, knowing that even for a Daoist Monarch, the chance of survival in such a great war was only slightly higher, let alone for other Immortal Gods.

At this moment, Zhang Jian could only secretly pray that he wouldn’t be so unlucky, that the time river wouldn’t reverse and stop here.

If his formation tribulation was to survive such a battlefield, it would be truly life-threatening.

Fortunately, his luck seemed not too bad.

The reversing power of time and space had not stopped.

Time moved forward again, and soon Zhang Jian saw the spectacle of Heaven and Earth Creation in the Three Emperors Celestial Realm.

He saw a vast three-dimensional Innate Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram swirling in, carrying a grand broken fragment of chaos, then Tai Chi gave birth to the two principles, the two principles gave birth to the Four Symbols, the Four Symbols gave birth to the Eight Trigrams, and the Eight Trigrams gave birth to all things.

A vast Great Realm was nurtured into existence from the chaotic fragment.
