The sun sets in the west, and dusk descends.

A golden cloud rides the evening glow, quickly flying eastward along the coast, soon disappearing at the edge of the dark horizon.

Zhao Sheng watches as it disappears, slowly withdrawing his gaze and casually storing the jade token in his bosom.

The scheme for the Pocket World Spirit Core must be extremely cautious, not only thoroughly considered, but the optimum time must be seized for a decisive strike—only then can one "retrieve the chestnuts from the fire," otherwise, one might easily bring disaster upon himself, reaching a point of no return!

After all, Island Master Li Chen Xuan Zhan is a Half-Immortal of the Void, and snatching the Spirit Core from him, Zhao Sheng and his peers cannot be too careful!

Zhao Sheng pondered on the spot for a while, then suddenly waved to release a large swath of thunder light, capturing the giant green vine below, transforming into a flowing light and swiftly darting away, disappearing in an instant.

...

Later that night, Zhao Sheng placed Wang Teng Old Demon in a temporarily-established cave mansion and set multiple prohibitions on his true body to strictly guard against the old demon's escape.

After that, he activated Space-Time Teleportation, quickly returning to the Chen Family's Floating City.

Within a few days, the alien race robbers hiding in the city seemed to have received orders and hurriedly withdrew completely on that day.

Observing this secretly, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but nod, thinking, "That Tigress indeed keeps her promise; she effortlessly resolved the matters with other foreign realm pirate groups."

To prevent unexpected situations, Zhao Sheng was secretly sacrificially refining the heart demon curse jade token, while running between the Chen and Zhao families' residences, poised for action at any moment.

However, no mishaps occurred. Instead, in Ximeng State, another four "newly-emerged" Three Tribulation Ancient Clans were entirely annihilated within a month, and the family divine trees were all felled and dragged away.

Such shocking tragedies appeared one after another in Ximeng's native lands, and these horrific news quickly spread throughout the entire Da Chun Realm, instantly frightening countless cultivation families and sects, especially those high-ranking Three Tribulation Ancient Clans.

All cultivators familiar with the realm's history immediately realized that the countless times "Divine Tree Catastrophe" that had happened in the past finally reoccurred.

However, this time, the number of annihilated Three Tribulation Ancient Clans reached four families. Such calamitous incidents with heavy casualties recall back to ages past, over ten thousand years.

In less than two months, all Three Tribulation Ancient Clans activated the highest level of alert and announced a sealing of trees and a shutting of cities, meanwhile carrying out the harshest purge within the family floating cities.

However, ever since the four clan extinction atrocities occurred, those foreign realm pirate groups seemed to simultaneously vanish entirely, disappearing without a trace.

Three years flashed by, the cultivation world in the Da Chun Three Continents remained "tense and alarmed" for three years, but those hateful foreign realm pirate groups never reappeared, seemingly have all withdrawn.

Yet, all Three Tribulation Ancient Clans never relaxed their vigilance; the sealing of trees and shutting of city orders continued for thirty full years.

Only thirty years later did each ancient clan lift the order, and the cultivation world's order in the Three Continents promptly returned to normal.

Of course, these are all matters to be addressed later, let's not speak of them at the moment!

...

Three years later, as heavy snow fell, the winter solstice arrived as expected.

This day, above the Chen Family Divine Tree, deep within the white clouds, sporadic thunder roared, occasionally revealing scarlet lightning tearing through the heavenly curtain, casting the surrounding white clouds in a dark red hue.

Snowy skies with rolling thunder, this is millennium-rare celestial phenomena.

At this moment, atop the nine-tiered high tower in the city's center, Fei Hong Ancestor stands with one hand behind his back, gazing at the increasingly drooping clouds. Solemnly, he asks, "Qian'er, the clan members have all evacuated, right?"

Chen Daqian steps forward and replies, "Reporting to the ancestor, three days ago, clan members had already successfully relocated to Hengshan City, three thousand miles away. Aside from a few ancestors, no living soul remains in the floating city."

Fei Hong Ancestor instructed, "You handle affairs well, I always have confidence in you! Now you should also evacuate this place early; the great calamity of decay and prosperity is imminent, I must devote myself to crossing the tribulation, and can't manage other matters."

Chen Daqian, upon hearing, could not help but glance at the sky. At this moment, a large ancient brass palace was floating ten thousand feet high, beneath the first layer of the tree crown, radiating increasingly dazzling glow.

Centered around this hall, the void within a hundred-mile radius encompasses sixty-four massive pitch-black crystal columns faintly forming a super-large Eight Trigrams Array.

Chen Daqian withdraws his gaze and deeply bows, saying, "Ancestor, Brother Xi is here today, you will undoubtedly avoid peril, fulfill your desires! I hereby extend my wish to the ancestor for successfully ascending to the Divine Transformation and achieving the status of True Monarch!"

"Foolish child, go!" Fei Hong Ancestor sighed deeply and slowly turned his back.

Upon seeing this, Chen Daqian bows in ceremony once again, then takes to the sky, transforming into tunneling light, rapidly flying out of the city.

Soon after, the heavy snow abruptly stops, the boundless thick clouds instantly transform into scarlet red, countless thunder spreading across the heavenly vault.

At the utmost sky, terrifying destruction aura emanates from the deepest part of the thunder cloud.

An unprecedented calamity more than tenfold to hundredfold the Divine Transformation Thunder Tribulation is rapidly forming, and momentarily countless electric flood dragons and thunder dragons traverse the clouds, exuding indescribable heat and destruction aura.

Before long, the overwhelming scarlet tribulation clouds fall to the tree crown, engulfing the massive tree crown in its entirety, with the lowest cloud layer suddenly nearing the ancient brass palace, only twenty miles away from the second tree crown layer.

With a thunderous boom, dense scarlet fire thunder emerged from the depths of the tribulation cloud, like massive fireballs, incessantly striking various parts of the tree crown.
