an shapes.
They all looked like kids, while the young Chaos Beast was the youngest.
It was chubby, but its eyes were clever; it kept eating unknown meat.

The meat was provided by the Inferno Dragon, which the cook in a sense.
Although pets no longer needed to hunt to find sustenance, delicious food could make their lives more meaningful.

The Purple Python spoke with a childlike voice.
Shaking its head, it said, “I’m hoping to try after your advancement.
Besides, I want to consolidate further…”

“You’re already capable of mincing anything with Ascendant cultivation; further consolidation is unnecessary.
One of us needs to break through.
It’ll be useful to me,” said Su Ping.

The Purple Python was dazed for a moment.
Then, the Little Skeleton stepped up and said, “Let me.”

Su Ping glanced at the little one, which could have risen to the Ascendant State a dozen years prior.
But it didn’t choose that road to the Ascendant State, thinking it wasn’t good enough.
It had been looking for a different pathway.

“Have you found a new way?” asked Su Ping.

“Is it the one that you found the most satisfactory?”

Seeing that the Little Skeleton didn’t answer, Su Ping shook his head and petted its head.
“Keep searching then.
The road to the Ascendant State is an important journey.
It must be satisfactory.”

The Little Skeleton didn’t want to lie to them, so it didn’t answer.
It was always shrewd in battle, but too straightforward for other things.

“Let me, then,” said the Purple Python before the Dark Dragon Hound said anything, “You said you need it.
I haven’t found another road to the Ascendant State yet.
The previous two I found were mediocre; the one I’ve found recently is the most satisfactory.
I’m not as talented as them, so let me accomplish this task first.”

“Don’t talk like that,” said the Dark Dragon Hound quickly.

“Indeed.
Although you’re indeed the least talented one, you shouldn’t settle so easily.
I can do it too.
I find the Fire God Path I grasped recently to be quite satisfactory,” said the Inferno Dragon.

The Purple Python rolled eyes at them.
“Give me a break.
You would have already risen to the Ascendant State if your choices were satisfactory.
What are you waiting for?”

The Dark Dragon Hound shook its head and heaved a hypocritical sigh.

Su Ping kicked the Dark Dragon Hound and said angrily, “Stop being pretentious, or I’ll just push you to make a breakthrough.”

The Dark Dragon Hound fell to the ground, then crawled back to its feet, grimacing.
“Boss, I’m your strongest shield.
I must find the best defense path before I rise to the Ascendant State.
Otherwise, who can protect you in the future?”

Su Ping rolled his eyes.
The Dark Dragon Hound had been persistently pursuing better defenses, but it often happened to pick up aggressive laws.
Su Ping thought it was more talented in offense than defense, but it never listened to him, and he couldn’t do anything about it.

The Purple Python glared at the Dark Dragon Hound, then rose to the sky without further ado.

The next moment, it revealed its true form in midair, flying with a body that was thousands of meters long.
It was still a snake, but it was so appalling that it seemed large enough to swallow the sky.
It had even intimidated many dragons during training.

The Purple Python had swallowed plenty of dragons when training, but never evolved into one.
It kept a snake form, except that it was more and more ferocious.

It hasn’t reached the Ascendant State yet.
That body size is quite remarkable. Su Ping watched in silence.
He hadn’t stopped the snake from reaching the Ascendant State first because he was biased against it.
He knew his pets very well; it was indeed difficult for the Purple Python to find a more suitable road to the Ascendant State.

Su Ping believed that it had found a more powerful path than most of the Ascendant paths he had seen.

The entire sky shook after that roar, and the snowy mountain was falling.

Boundless clouds were gathering, seemingly about to cover the entire sky.

The Purple Python slithered like a black mountain between the sky and the earth amid the lightning strikes.
All the beasts within a radius of a thousand kilometers were scared off due to the enormous pressure, including some Ascendant State beasts…

“An Ascendant Heavenly Tribulation…”

Su Ping glanced at his pets and said, “Aren’t you going to experience it?”

The pets were dazed for a moment.
Then, they realized what was going on and ran forward excitedly.

Su Ping also stepped into the tribulation range.

Such tribulations triggered in cultivation sites were more powerful than those Su Ping had experienced before.

The clouds ready to launch lightning bolts rolled again, and deafening thunder were rumbling.

The cluster of clouds was spreading further into the distance.

The Purple Python was rather touched after seeing Su Ping and the others.
“Boss, you…”

“We’re just here to experience the Heavenly Tribulation.
We won’t help you.” Su Ping smiled.

The lightning bolts were soon formed and struck down.

They were so powerful that even Ascendant cultivators would have been wary.
However, neither Su Ping nor his pets thought much of them, since they had gone through a lot.

Their faces were illuminated by the lightning bolts.
All of them were extremely calm.

The Purple Python roared and slithered upwards, swallowing the lightning bolt which glowed in its mouth and was ultimately consumed.

The Purple Python didn’t seem to have enjoyed itself yet; it suddenly swung its tail at the clouds.

The lightning in the clouds was exposed as the clouds were moved.
Enraged by such a taunt, the clouds threw down countless lightning bolts which enshrouded Su Ping and the others.

The Purple Python kept slithering and eating lightning bolts amidst the rumbling noises.
The lightning bolts which struck its scales only left some tiny traces that were healed quickly.

The Purple Python’s body was once clenched by a powerful Ascendant State dragon, which tried and failed to tear it apart; it was too sturdy to be hurt by the Heavenly Tribulation.

Su Ping observed in silence.
The lightning bolts that hit him were gone, like flames poured into the ocean; they were absorbed as his nutrition.

The Purple Python soon passed the Heavenly Tribulation after the lightning bolts roared and struck down.
Once it swallowed the last lightning bolt, the snake expanded as if reborn.
It gave a deafening roar and all its scales stood up.
It shook and coiled up.

Its body expanded significantly, increasing to more than ten thousand meters long; it could easily flatten mountains with its tail.

The powerful aura unique to the Ascendant State was spread out.
The Purple Python’s body was coiled in a regal manner.

“It was only forced to use five small worlds…” Su Ping was rather regretful to see the tribulation end just like that.
He hadn’t enjoyed himself yet.
