"Elder, my spell is complete now. You guys can stop."
"Huff... You really saved us."
Then she said, "The spell is complete now. We should stop the Qi Gathering Formation."
Gu Yan replied, "Ok, ok." But when he tried to stop, Thomas stopped him.
"Wait, why are you stopping me now? The teleportation spell is already ready. Didn't you see?"
"I can, but we have to wait a bit."
"Why?"
"The spiritual energy will take some time to arrive from the spell. After the energy arrives, we can stop."
"Ah, I thought that was the end. Hey, spiritual energy! Why aren't you coming?"
But then, the spiritual energy started coming from the teleportation spell.
Seeing this, Su Yan said, "Look, look! It's coming! Should we stop now?"
Complete silence...
"Why are you guys not replying to me?" But as she looked around, she saw no one there.
"What? Where did everyone go?" Then she looked around again and found that everyone had already stopped putting their energy into the Qi Gathering Formation. They were watching the whole scene from outside the ground.
"I just want to know—why do you guys always leave me behind?" Then she also joined them.
After she came, Gu Yan said, "Oh, old box, where have you been? Come here and watch with us. Xing Tian's breakthrough is almost complete."
Su Yan thought, No, I can't do anything to them now. I'll just wait for Xing Tian's breakthrough. Then I'll tell him to punish them. Then she moved closer and watched the breakthrough.
Then Thomas said, "Oh no, I forgot about something!"
Everyone asked, "What now?"
"We have to move all the people from here."
Gu Jian asked, "Why?"
"Fool! This is not a normal breakthrough. It's the highest-level breakthrough in the world, so the destruction will be massive. Not just civilians—we could also be killed by that thunder."
"No, I don't think so. I mean, it can be dangerous, but what you're saying sounds like too much."
"Okay, okay, we'll see that later. For now, move everyone who is around 100 km away—or we just have to move ourselves from here."
"And how are we going to do that?"
"That's why I call you fool every time. Don't you see the teleportation spell? You can just move using that."
Su Yan said, "No, we can't. This teleportation spell is connected to the Mystic Continent. You know it's the biggest source of spiritual power. If we move there, the whole Mystic Land will be destroyed."
"This is getting dangerous now. What should we do?"
Su Yan said, "I will tell the magicians to teleport all living things within 100 km from here."
"Okay, then just do it now."
Then she contacted Angelina and explained the situation.
"What do you think? Can you do it?"
Angelina started getting nervous, but after thinking about everyone, she said, "Okay, I will do it."
Just like that, five minutes passed.
Then we explore the world a little bit.
We see some people practicing their magic power under the sunlit sky turning dark. Someone was driving a car—the sky got dark there too. Basically, the whole Central Planet's sky turned dark. Everyone was shocked to see the sudden change, but some strong people noticed and understood what might be happening.
Back at the ceremony ground...
Su Yan contacted Angelina again. "Did you successfully do what I said?"
"Yes, Elder. We are a thousand kilometers away from you guys."
"Okay then, take care of yourself."
The breakthrough began.
To reach the Supreme Peak Realm, you must pass three Thunder Tribulations. The thunder is very dangerous. The thunder is divided into three colors: the first one is blue, the second is red, the third is white.
The first thunder appeared. A blue thunderbolt came from the sky and landed on Xing Tian.
Thomas said, "Everyone, back off! The thunder is dangerous!"
Gu Yan said, "It's just a first-level thunder. This thunder couldn't do anything to me."
But as soon as the thunder landed on Xing Tian, the surrounding area was destroyed. Gu Jian was about to be injured by the thunder, but just as it reached him, Thomas created a protection shield around them.
"I told you that thunder was dangerous! Protect yourself!" Thomas shouted.
"I'm sorry... I didn't think the thunder would be that dangerous," Gu Yan admitted.
After some time, the destruction from the first thunder finally ended.
They stepped out from behind the protective shield—but what they saw shocked them. Around 10 kilometers of land had been completely destroyed by that single tribulation.
Gu Yan muttered, "I didn't think the tribulation would be this dangerous..."
Thomas said, "And that was just the first level. Now do you understand why I told you to protect yourself?"
"Yes, I understand now... But if the tribulation is this dangerous, why don't we just move away from here?"
"Did you forget? We have to guard Xing Tian. Someone could attack him and kill him while he's weak. Just look at him now!"
They turned to Xing Tian and saw him suffering from the thunder tribulation. All his veins were bulging, clearly visible through his skin. His body trembled uncontrollably.
Su Yan said, "He looks like he's in pain… Should I go and try to heal him?"
"Don't do something that stupid!" Thomas snapped. "You can't get close to him right now. The second thunder is coming."
"At the very least, can't we give him some elixir?"
"You know no elixir or herb works on him right now—except for one: the Life Elixir. Does anyone have it?"
Without even checking, everyone said the same: "No, we don't have it." The Life Elixir was simply too rare.
"I have one," Thomas said calmly.
Hearing this, Su Yan exclaimed, "Then why don't you give it to him?! Look at him—he's struggling so much!"
"I'll give it to him after the second tribulation. He'll be even more injured by then."
Meanwhile, the second tribulation began to form in the sky.
Thomas warned, "Everyone, protect yourselves!"
Immediately, everyone activated their highest defensive skills, surrounding themselves with barriers and energy shields.
After a few minutes, the second tribulation ended.
They deactivated their skills and looked outside to assess the damage.
Everyone was shocked—the entire 50-kilometer area around them had been annihilated.
Su Yan looked up at the sky.
Everyone followed her gaze—and what they saw completely shocked them.
Xing Tian was half-dead, floating in the sky. His body barely moved. His skin was scorched and pale. His breath weak.
It looked like he would die... in just a few more seconds.
