Everyone kept themselves far away from Tixan and Lani so they wouldn't get involved in the Tribulation. Of course, Lani and Tixan stayed far away from each other as well to not make things difficult. As long as they ascended from the same place, that would be fine for them.

The two then concentrated on their cultivations and finally made the last push. With that, their cultivation had reached the highest point it could possibly reach in the Mortal Realm, which naturally called forth the tribulation clouds. As everyone knew, Luvile Universe's Tribulation was Purple Lightning. However, it mattered not for the ascension tribulation. After all, this specific Tribulation would call forth all elements instead of a single one.

​​

Back then, Krune had a difficult time passing through it. It was only thanks to Luvile that he succeeded in the end. However, that was also his last breakthrough in the Mortal Realm. The next ones happened in the Godly Path Realm.

Sure enough, the Water Tribulation was the first one. Lani used his fused elements with spiritual energy to keep it at bay. Tixan seemed to be having an even easier time as his Sword Laws alone were enough to keep it away. In fact, he seemed somewhat bored.

Soon after was the Earth Tribulation, which tried to solidify their bodies. Unfortunately, it couldn't surpass Lani and Tixan's recovery speed. Krune couldn't help but feel somewhat wronged. It had been so hard for him when he went through it before.

The Wind Tribulation came next, and Lani increased his spiritual energy usage. In the end, what was supposed to be the hardest Tribulation of all, with only a 1% chance of passing through, seemed to be nothing but a walk in the park for those two. Well, Tixan was an anomaly to start with. As for Lani, he had way too many perks under his belt. Chaos Meridians, Mental Energy, Purple Tribulation Lightning Source, Purple Flame Weapon, Fused Elements... It would be hard for the Ascension Tribulation to do anything to him like that.

The next one after that was the Fire Tribulation, which quickly joined the other three. Tixan finally began to use his Spiritual Energy to increase his Sword Laws and Sword Assimilation Power. Other than that, he seemed to be fine. Lani was using more Spiritual Energy, but Krune and the others could tell that he was far from his limit.

Sure enough, the first four tribulations weren't that dangerous to them. Finally, the last elemental Tribulation arrived, Lightning. However, this was the Luvile Universe, after all. That being said, what came down were Purple Tribulation Lightning bolts!

Lani didn't dare to risk his chance, so he used his own Purple Tribulation Lightning to fend the attacks with the help of his Purple Flame Staff. Tixan found it funny, so he kept using his body to act like a sword to cleave through the lightning bolts. As always, there were nine Tribulation Lightning Bolts, with the last one being the most powerful.

When that time came, Lani used a skill to strike it back.

Tixan, on the other hand, just took his sword out. He understood that the last Lightning would be quite powerful. This was a great chance for him to test his fixed sword.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

Purple Tribulation Lightning spread everywhere after it was hit by Lani's strike. Even some of those far away had to dodge to not get hit.

In Tixan's case, the last Purple Tribulation Lightning was once again cut through. Not only that, but his sword slash attack went all the way back to the Tribulation Clouds, opening a huge gap in the middle. Sure enough, ordinary ascension tribulations were of no use against these two.

The Tribulation Clouds began to dissipate right after, leaving Lani and Tixan behind. Neither of the two seemed to have exerted themselves too much.

"Well, it's done."

Tixan then looked in Krune's direction.

"Krune, you did a great job! Although it's still the same sword, it's now countless times stronger. Hell, I feel like I can cleave my way into the Godly Path Realm on my own."

For some reason, Krune didn't doubt that.

Lani looked at the dissipating clouds and couldn't help but sigh.

"So this is it, huh? I always thought I would probably die during this Tribulation. To think that I passed it so easily."

Lucio, Krune, and the others then came closer.

"How is it, Master?"

Lani looked around and nodded.

"You probably can feel it as well. The Space Laws of the Luvile Universe are gathering around Tixan and me."

Tixan confirmed as he said.

"Indeed. We will be sent over anytime now."

Lani then spoke a few more things with Lucio, Krune, and the other elders. Tixan just stayed by the side, waiting for the time of ascension. Finally, the Space Laws finished gathering the power as Tixan and Luvile began to be dragged into a Spatial Gate.

Everyone could tell that this Spatial Gate was different from the ones they usually used. The Spatial Storms inside were terrifyingly more powerful than anything they could create on their own. Even Lani and Tixan's battle didn't create something like that. However, it was all being held by the power of the Universe. However, if anyone tried to enter it, they would definitely die almost instantly. Even the Divinity Realm ones like Lucio and Krune would be no exception.

Not long after, Lani and Tixan were enveloped by the same power, creating a protective barrier around them.

"Lucio, Krune, take care of the sect. Also, Krune, make sure you find the next Sect Master before you ascend."

Tixan also said his piece.

"Krune, I still owe you for the sword. I'll pay this debt on the other side."

With those last messages, Tixan and Lani were dragged into the Spatial Gate before it closed. The two had finally ascended to the Godly Path Realm.

Lucio kept looking at the place where his Master disappeared and couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, it seems that I need to try harder to go there as well."

Krune nodded.

"We all need to."

Feifei then put a hand on Krune's shoulder.

"Do you want to stay for a few more days?"

Krune shook his head.

"No. We can go already."

Krune then looked at Lucio and the others before saying.

"Feifei and I have already stayed here for too long. We're going to keep looking for more Ownerless Heavenly Fragments."

"Oh! You also want Feifei to obtain a Heavenly Core, right?"

Krune nodded before saying through a Divine Sense Message.

'Yes. With a Heavenly Core, we can both cultivate much faster. Then, we can wait until we reach the peak of the Divinity Realm to head to the Lokrathos Universe.'

Lucio knew what Krune was talking about, responding.

'The Key of the Mortal Realm is located there according to Zule, right?'

'Yes. I don't want to risk getting close to it before we reach the peak of the Divinity Realm. Of course, before that, we'll head to the Luvile Universe's center. After all, we want to get his body back first. But it doesn't matter which one it is. We first need to increase our cultivation.'

Lucio nodded.

'In that case, come back after you get Feifei's Heavenly Core first. Use the time to reach the peak of the Divinity Realm to help Lia. She's the one who you want to be the next Sect Leader, after all.'

Krune agreed with Lucio.

'That's a good plan. Chances are that some of the Heavenly Fragments will be repelled ones. I can give her those fragments when Feifei and I get back.'

'Very well. I'll stay here to deal with things while you do that.'

Krune then talked with the other elders for a while before he and Feifei finally left the Luvile Universe once more. Krune was surprised when Tixan brought back three Heavenly Fragments, so he took that opportunity to ask for more information about them.

It turns out that Tixan was actually a member of one of the Universe Powerhouses. His contacts were several times better than Cinty in the Dalin Universe. He passed him several Universe Powers that had one or more Ownerless Heavenly Fragments. That would make things several times easier for him and Feifei. However, he also told them that those were really far away and didn't have Multi-Universal Spatial Gates connecting to them. That being said, it would take quite some time to visit all of them and then come back.

At least that also explained why Krune didn't find out about them before. Universes without Multi-Universal Spatial Gates was quite hard to get information from. Even their Luvile Universe just recently got one for themselves.

Krune and Feifei then passed by Lakin's place to talk with everyone. They also visited Makui Planet, where Fie was spending her time with her family. Only then did Krune and Feifei open a Spatial Gate and left.

Back at the Universe Powerhouses. They got confirmation that Lani and Tixan had finally ascended. Thakhulo Universe's representative couldn't help but bitterly smile. Tixan was a huge asset of their Universe, but he was now gone. Nonetheless, they already decided to leave Krune on his own for now, so they kept their focus on Dalin.

As for Dalin, the Godly Protection Formation Krune gave to Little Arty was holding the fort without any issues. With that, the Home Alliance was getting more powerful by the day as the neutral powers began to shift to their side. From the looks of it, it wouldn't take that long before they defeated the Retaking Alliance.

And just like that, a few years passed in a blink of an eye.
