Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2325 Lightning Spirit's lmmortalTribulation

Three seconds later, another destructive immortal tribulation lightning plunged without making a sound.

*Bang!~*

The blue monstrosity clashed with black-silver swords, becoming sliced into a bolt of smaller heavenly lightning, cut short into less than a meter from two meters tall. Its prowess was still higher than the first strike as it hovered a little above the eighth level of the Ninth Stage.

However, it was still easily caught by the heavenly lightning prison made by Eldia before she proceeded to absorb it by fusing it into her body.

Her body, which was made up of half heavenly lightning and half extinction lightning, became purer and purer.

But instead of the tribulation clouds, her gaze was at the roaring newcomer in the distance. It was almost upon her, its chaotic undulations blaring at Level Two Immortal Stage.

Davis leaped to the back as the three-headed hydra was the nearest to him, coming from his side.

It had a bipedal dragon's body, but three heads extended from its neck, each having similar facial features while their eyes radiated a bloodthirsty light. Even though he was the nearest, it was looking at Eldia, who unleashed heavenly lightning in excess while also occasionally watching the skies as it roared at the heavenly tribulation.

It was as though it hated the heavens to the core, causing Davis to blink.

The Vacuous Beasts had an intense reaction whenever he used heavenly lightning and heavenly flames, making him wonder if they hated the heavens instinctively.

For what? For making them like this?

The Vacuous Beast didn't even see Davis, flying past him with its giant body.

But from below, an intense air tunnel shot up as a figure pierced through its body, destroying its central head.

Davis had his hand raised, his figure covered in a bloody hue. Surprisingly, the blood was unable to affect his chaotic body, causing him to become pleasantly surprised. Just as he was about to strike the other two heads with his legs, he noticed the Vacuous Beast freeze and fall to the mountain peak.

*Bang!~*

The moment it fell, the third heavenly tribulation strike simultaneously fell.

Eldia didn't even look above but sent a few more heavenly lightning swords at the three-meter tall heavenly lightning strike, causing it to be weakened before she repeated her motions, capturing the struggling heavenly lightning that tried to harm her before absorbing it.

Davis landed beside the corpse of the hydra. He thought he needed to crush all three heads, but it seemed like crushing the head that carried the core of the hydra did the job.

However, he couldn't help but take a good look at it, his brows frowning, 'Was it asleep but became attracted by the heavenly tribulation?'

When it ignored him, who was straight ahead of it to target Eldia, who was beyond him while occasionally looking at the tribulation clouds, this assumption of his became clear.

If that's the case, then all Vacuous Beasts should be forced outdoor at this moment.

He couldn't help but look around while the others did the same. Fortunately, they didn't find anything of concern.

No Vacuous Beasts were breaking free from the ground to leap into the air, making it known to them that there was only one Vacuous Beast in this region.

Their gaze then returned to Eldia, whose bluish-black eyes and the silver lightning mark on her forehead were turning sharper and sharper with the amount of heavenly lightning she was absorbing. By this time, she had encountered the fifth strike and was in the process of absorbing it.

Her expression was… delectable, to say the least, as though she was completely enjoying it.

Davis couldn't help but smile. Her strategy was something copied from him. Weaken the strike and then capture it to refine it and finally absorb it. However, since her body was something made out of heavenly lightning, it seemed that she could essentially forego the refining process, able to withstand the will of the heavenly lightning all by herself.

She was basically oppressing the immortal tribulation's heavenly lightning with her heavenly lightning, which he was incapable of.

However, after creating the Tyrannical Heavenly Firestorm Physique, he wondered if he would be able to do the same thing as her.

*Rumble!~*

Eldia's eyes flashed with a silverish tint. She raised her hand and received the heavenly lightning strike on her hand, directly absorbing it as arcs of blue and black-silver lightning kept shattering the earth around her. The dirt crumbled, causing lava to spit out and engulf Eldia.

However, a burst of lightning strike plunged and pierced the lava, causing it to lose its momentum and fall.

"…"

Davis and the others couldn't help but blink. Was the tribulation even necessary at this point?

She wasn't shaken by anything that transpired.

In fact, Eldia's concentration was attuned to the dark tribulation clouds.

Not only could she feel when the tribulation lightning would fall on her without missing a microsecond, but she was also able to feel that the will of the heavens was trying to destroy her, but in front of her power, it was quickly tamed.

Even she was surprised to feel this way but confirming it through her plan to catch the heavenly lightning in her palm as she enclosed it with a concentrated sphere of heavenly lightning prison and directly absorbed it, she practically verified that as long as her level was higher, she was in control of the heavenly lightning and not the other way around.

'My body is capable of controlling all sources of heavenly lightning…?'

Eldia suspiciously wondered. After all, this was a destruction heavenly tribulation. For her to be able to triumph over its killing will with her own, she assumed that it was because her body could be considered a source of heavenly lightning itself.

*Bzzz!~*

Nonetheless, Eldia didn't dare look down on the heavenly tribulation. Using all her resolve, she summoned out her essence, body, and spirit energies as they all gathered at the center of the palm that she raised.

The seventh strike, appearing to be seven meters tall after being condensed from a hundred-meter wide sea of lightning, mercilessly crashed down, but she subdued it as it fell on her palm, her body continually absorbing them.

The eighth strike also struck, but other than Eldia shaking a bit, she received with ease with no changes to her expression.

*Rumble!~*

The heavens seemed to be angered at her disposition and indifference to robbing from it, thundering with rage as a sea of lightning descended. It crossed about three hundred meters in length and exuded a prowess almost six levels higher, causing Eldia to narrow her brows as she measured it to be a very the peak of the ninth level of the Ninth Stage.

She didn't think her heavenly tribulation would be this powerful, to say the least, as she expected a much easier tribulation.

Davis also looked at this powerful phenomenon strangely, his brows twitching as he looked at that heavenly lightning dragon that tried to kill him from below the clouds.

'As I thought… my karmic burden has affected Eldia. Otherwise, her tribulation wouldn't be this powerful...'

Davis knew a few factors involving spirits and their heavenly tribulations.

A destructive heavenly tribulation would naturally increase the prowess of the tribulation by one as a result of making the heavenly lightning extremely aggressive. This applied to all races.

When spirits peak their soul and body along with the essence cultivation, the prowess of the heavenly tribulation will increase by one. This applied to both humans and spirits, but he wasn't sure about magical beasts as it was vague if they could practice their Essence Gathering Cultivation while still being mortals.

Nonetheless, that would make it so that there are three remaining levels of increase in the tribulation's prowess that are unaccounted for.

If plundering heavenly tribulation was a serious crime according to the heavens, then he felt that he could allot at least one or two levels to it. That would make it so that the remaining one or two level prowess, which could belong to his karmic burden, was infecting her.

He couldn't tell the precise difference as they could also be sharing a half-half addition in prowess but refused to believe that his karmic burden could be any more than one level higher.

How could he affect her so much? It was true that she ate heavenly lightning almost every day from him, causing his karmic burden to flow down to her, but it should not be accounted for much.

Otherwise, it would really be a case of headache as every one of his women had directly benefitted from him.

In any case, his eyes couldn't help but frown at the tyrannical and vicious nine-meter tall heavenly lightning dragon in the skies.

'Eldia, block it with all you got. That heavenly lightning dragon's will is not easily handleable...'

Davis had informed Eldia before of the danger, so he trusted that she would do as she was told.
