The commotion of the heavenly tribulation seemed like a war song resounding through the heavens and earth for the reemergence of the Tian Ling High Priest, with a daunting momentum.

Within the mysterious and grand Main Temple of Fang Immortal Dao at Old Port, all the disciples wore expressions of reverence as they looked up at the rolling thunder clouds.

"The Ancestor's retreat has lasted for several years. It is rumored that he is attempting that legendary Supreme Dao Realm. Now, with such a heavenly tribulation being provoked, it must mean he is about to succeed!" a young disciple of Fang Immortal Dao couldn't help but whisper in awe.

The elder brother beside him immediately glared at him, lowering his voice in a stern reprimand: "Silence! At the Ancestor's breakthrough moment, any disturbance is intolerable. Do not ruin this momentous event!"

However, just as everyone was holding their breath, a shadow suddenly appeared on the horizon, quickly enlarging and, upon closer inspection, revealing Great Yu Dynasty's warships.

On the warships, flags fluttered, flapping loudly in the sea wind, as soldiers stood armed with sharp blades, ready for battle.

"Not good! It's the Great Yu Dynasty's navy! Why have they come at this crucial moment?" One of Fang Immortal Dao's protectors exclaimed in alarm.

It turned out that the Eastern Princess had spies within Fang Immortal Dao.

She was now carrying Xu Qing's child and worried about her lover's safety.

After receiving the intel, she swiftly transmitted the message and personally led the East Sea Gang's ships to provide assistance.

Women, once heartless, can indeed be terrifying.

Moreover, the Eastern Princess only recognized a certain faction of Fang Immortal Dao disciples, showing no recognition to the overseas faction. Nonetheless, the East Sea Gang and Fang Immortal Dao had close contact, even if the overseas faction had many of the Eastern Princess's eyes and ears.

Simply put, no matter the factional oppositions or deep-seated grudges, in the face of gold, they meant nothing.

During Xu Qing's past life resistance, the two factions fought vehemently, yet it didn't hinder them from doing business together.

Even the funds the Americans provided to support Chiang were used by the Madam to do business, and even to support the other faction's leader in elections!

Speaking of which, the Tian Ling High Priest's breakthrough had somewhat to do with Xu Qing inviting the Daoist Gu to Great Yu.

Because the Daoist Gu, being trustworthy, or perhaps out of a showing-off mentality, relayed the profound Dao Skill theories he acquired in Great Yu to the Fang Immortal Dao headquarters.

Perhaps it was just the final push the Tian Ling High Priest needed, gaining clarity upon receiving these theories.

It was similar to how Wang Chongyang received the Nine Yin Scripture.

Tian Ling High Priest was also a genius of his generation, considered one of the most outstanding among overseas loose cultivators. Furthermore, without the Dynasty Destiny suppression overseas, Tian Ling High Priest had already become a Ghost Immortal years ago.

Since then, he travelled the world, even reaching the Extreme West, engaging in Dao dialogues with the local philosophers and sages, benefiting immensely and improving the Fang Immortal Dao cultivation system.

This was also a key factor for the Fang Immortal Dao's overseas faction's exploration towards the west.

Yet, even with his mastery of both Eastern and Western knowledge, Tian Ling High Priest wasn't confident in passing the Ghost Immortal Thunder Tribulation.

Because it is too mystical and idealistic.

Some Ancient Sages, upon a single epiphany, passed seven heavenly tribulations to achieve the Creator; whereas some Dao Skill masters, despite being dominant at the time, never passed even one thunder tribulation.

The ability of a Ghost Immortal to pass the thunder tribulation relied heavily on the solidity of the Divine Soul.

Therefore, those on the Primordial Spirit Right Path, due to their solid Divine Soul, often require just one Creator-tier thunder tribulation to transform into a Pure Yang Primordial Spirit, aiming directly for the Creator Realm.

The Black Mountain Demon is an example.

He needed only one thunder tribulation to directly achieve the Creator.

On the other hand, a Yin God Ghost Immortal requires seven thunder tribulations to cleanse and transform the Yin God into a Pure Yang Primordial Spirit.

However, achieving the Primordial Spirit already required incredibly firm willpower, persistence in one's path, determination in one's mind, and a severance of falsity.

This process is precisely the psychological journey required for the seven thunder tribulations of a Ghost Immortal.

...

The vanguard warships of Great Yu Dynasty's navy aggressively approached Old Port.

At the bow, Meng Yuxuan stood tall, sturdy like a pine tree. His gaze was like a torch, resolute and fearless, tightly focused on the Fang Immortal Dao Main Temple on the shore, his longsword gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Suddenly, he swung his longsword, giving a loud command that rang through the sea like a resounding bell: "All soldiers, heed my order! Charge valiantly with me, capture Old Port today, and utterly destroy these overseas demons' lairs!"

With the command given, the navy's warships, like arrows released from a bow, sped swiftly across the sea, the prow slicing through the waves, sending up layers of white spray. The Purple Thunder Cannons aboard were already loaded, their black muzzles aimed at the Fang Immortal Dao's positions, like beasts lying in wait, ready to unleash their terrifying firepower at command.

Inside the Fang Immortal Dao Main Temple, the Yin God of the Tian Ling High Priest was desperately pushing against the final barrier amid the multiple temperings of the heavenly tribulation.

The sounds of shouting, the roars of warships breaking through the waves, he was not unaware.

But at this life-and-death juncture in his breakthrough, every second was critical.

Any distraction could lead to the collapse of previous efforts, or even a backlash from the heavenly tribulation, resulting in soul annihilation.

He could only pray inwardly, hoping that his disciples would resist stubbornly and hold out a while longer. Once he broke through, he was determined to unleash the forbidden Dao Skill of the Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal, ensuring the Great Yu Dynasty navy would not return.

This is not Central Earth, where the Dynasty Destiny suppresses the power of the Dao Skills!

The disciples of Fang Immortal Dao quickly snapped out of their shock, each summoning their magic artifacts. In an instant, the various magic artifacts glowed with different colors, some ghostly blue, others intensely hot. They chanted spells, weaving splendid spell lights across the sea surface.

Moreover, they set up a firearms defense on the shore, aligning boxes of gunpowder in a neat array, intending to give the Great Yu Dynasty navy a fierce demonstration.

In an instant, the sea surface of Old Port was filled with dazzling spell lights and the smoke of firearms, accompanied by deafening shouts and roars.

Meng Yuxuan, truly a master of contemporary military strategy, remained calm and composed in the face of Fang Immortal Dao's fierce counterattack, commanding with assurance.

He maneuvered the warships skillfully, darting left and right like nimble fish, dodging most of the attacks amidst the barrage.

At the same time, he kept an eye on the battlefield situation, identified opportune moments, and decisively ordered: "Fire the cannons!"

"Boom boom boom!" The thunderous roars of the Purple Thunder Cannons instantly drowned out everything else, as if heaven and earth were collapsing.

Shells enveloped in thick smoke streaked through the sky like meteors, accurately hitting the Fang Immortal Dao's defensive positions.

At the points of explosion, flames soared into the sky, earth and stones splattered everywhere, and the defensive structures were blown to smithereens, with many disciples being thrown into the air by the shockwaves, screaming in agony.

Yet, with a profound foundation and long heritage, Fang Immortal Dao did not retreat in fear under the fierce attack; instead, their fighting spirit was fueled, making their counterattacks increasingly frenzied.

Disciples skilled in talisman arts quickly gathered, their talismans flickering with eerie light. Chanting with fervor, they cast the talismans towards the Great Yu Dynasty's warships.

Talismans arced through the air, instantly adhering to the warships. In that moment, the ship's soldiers felt weakened, as if drained of energy, their movements sluggish, unable to hold their weapons steadily.

Meng Yuxuan, quickly perceiving the threat, frowned, raised his voice, and ordered loudly: "All soldiers, to arms! We must take Old Port today!"

Immediately, he personally selected a team, standing firm as a towering pine at the prow of the ship, his gaze unwavering and determined, his sword glinting silver in the sun.

At that moment, he swung his sword suddenly, issuing a booming command that echoed over the sea: "All soldiers, heed my command! Charge bravely with me, and today we shall take Old Port and utterly destroy the lair of these overseas demons!"

With the order given, the navy warships sped across the waves like arrows released from a bow, their prows cutting through the water, sending white spray high into the air. The Purple Thunder Cannons on the ships were already loaded, their dark barrels aimed at the positions of Fang Immortal Dao, poised like dormant beasts, waiting to unleash terrifying firepower once ordered.

Within the Main Temple of Fang Immortal Dao, Tianling Shangren's Yin God, tempered by layer upon layer of heavenly tribulation, was exerting all its strength to break through the final barrier.

He was aware of the shouts and the sound of the warships breaking through the waves outside.

But at this moment, he was at the critical junction of life and death in his breakthrough, and every second was crucial.

Any distraction could result in losing all previous efforts, or even suffering a backlash from the heavenly tribulation, leading to the dispersion of his soul.

All he could do was pray inwardly, hoping his disciples would bravely resist and hold out a little longer, so that once he broke through, he would unleash the forbidden Dao Skills of a Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal, ensuring the Great Yu Dynasty's Navy does not return.

This is not Central Earth, where the Dynasty Destiny suppresses the power of Dao Skills!

The disciples of Fang Immortal Dao quickly snapped out of their shock, brandishing their Magic Artifacts. In an instant, various Magical Artifacts gleamed, some with ghostly blue lights, others with intense heat. They chanted incantations, preparing a defensive line of Firearms, arranging crates of gunpowder neatly, ready to give a fierce defense at the right time.

The sounds of cannon fire, waves crashing against ships, and cries of battle were deafening against the backdrop of the intensifying heavenly tribulation.

But even in the face of Fang Immortal Dao's fierce counterattack, Meng Yuxuan stood unyielding. As his sharp gaze scanned the coastline, he swung his longsword decisively and bellowed, his voice resonating over the waves: "All hands prepare for a valiant charge with me! Today, we shall capture Old Port and utterly demolish these overseas demons' lair!"

Upon command, the naval ships sped off like arrows released from a bow, cleaving through the waves with their prows, sending layers of white spray into the sky. Onboard, the Purple Thunder Cannons were already loaded, ready to unleash their ferocious firepower upon the positions of the Fang Immortal Dao.

Inside the Main Temple of the Fang Immortal Dao, the Yin God of the Heavenly Spirit Master struggled with all his strength to break through the final barrier, undergoing severe refinement under the heavy impact of the heavenly tribulation.

While he could hear the external shouts of battle, the sound of warships crashing through the waves, he knew he was at a life and death juncture of his breakthrough, and every second was vital.

Any distraction could render all efforts futile, even making him suffer the backlash from the heavenly tribulation, leading to the dispersal of his soul.

He could only pray silently, hoping his disciples would resist valiantly, holding out a little longer. Once he broke through, he vowed to unleash the forbidden Dao Skill of the Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal on the Great Yu Dynasty navy, ensuring they have no chance of return.

This is not Central Earth, where the Dynasty Destiny suppresses the power of Dao Skills!

The disciples of Fang Immortal Dao quickly snapped out of their shock and began to unleash their Magic Artifacts. In a moment, the gleam of various Magic Artifacts flashed, some ghostly blue, others intensely hot. They were chanting incantations, throwing talismans towards the Great Yu Dynasty's warships.

With the command, the navy warships sped on the sea like arrows leaving the bow, their bows slicing through the waves, sending up layers of foamy spray. The Purple Thunder Cannons on the ships were long loaded and ready, their black muzzles aiming at the positions of the Fang Immortal Dao, waiting to unleash their terrifying firepower at the command.

At this critical moment, the Yin God of the Heavenly Spirit Elder, under the harsh baptism of the heavenly tribulation, was making a desperate effort to break through the final barrier.

Though he was not oblivious to the shouting outside and the sounds of the ships slicing through the water.

He knew he was at a life and death juncture in his breakthrough journey, and every second was crucial.

Any distraction might cause all his previous efforts to go to waste, or worse, he might suffer a backlash from the heavenly tribulation, resulting in his soul dissipating.

He could only pray with all his heart, hoping that his disciples would hold out tenaciously for a little longer, so that once he broke through, he could cast forbidden Dao Skills of the Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal, ensuring that the Great Yu Dynasty Navy would come but never return.

This isn't Central Earth, where Dynasty Destiny suppresses the power of Dao Skills!

Fang Immortal Dao's disciples quickly recovered from their shock, each summoning their Magic Artifacts. In an instant, various Magic Artifacts glittered with light, some ghostly blue, others fiery hot. They prepared their defenses, organized boxes of gunpowder into neat ranks, readying for a fierce confrontation at the perfect moment.

On the sea, the noise of shouting and crashing waves was deafening.

Meng Yuxuan remained stalwart at the prow, leading his troops like an arrow shot forward, his long sword catching the sun's steely gleam.

All of a sudden, vast, trunk-like bolts of lightning turned the sky into daylight, as the end of the world seemed to descend upon them.

The Yin God of the Heavenly Immortal Master, under the intense refinement of the heavenly tribulation, was making every effort to shatter the final barrier.
