Chapter 1373: Heavenly Lightning Tribulation (2/2)
He was worried that bringing out a treasure that's more than Low-Level Emperor Grade in strength might provoke the heavens. He didn't know how it worked, so he chose Golden Sheen Obsidian Spear to be on the safer side.
The Golden Sheen Obsidian Spear went silent on hearing his words. It then didn't say anything and began gathering its golden energy around it to protect its core, its spirit. Earth-attribute aura began to revolve while Davis's grip tightened. The aura was not from him but the Golden Sheen Obsidian Spear itself.
*Rumble!~*
Judging from the energy gathered around, that alone was enough to one-shot a Low-Level Law Sea Stage Cultivator. It was that terrifying, and yet against this heavenly tribulation that rumbled with thunder and crackling lightning, it seemed inadequate.
*Bzzz!~*
The entire skies above Davis looked like a massive gaping maw. The crackling lightning that struck fear into the hearts of the few onlookers visibly moved around the tribulation clouds, beginning to gather at the very center before it struck in an instant!
*Boom!~*
An arc of terrifying blue-colored tribulation lightning descended, its prowess somewhere around the mid-levels of the eighth stage!
”Shit...!”
Davis's eyes went wide with full of rage as he struck the spear towards the heavens, wanting to pierce it as the tribulation lightning arrived and crashed right on top of the black blade of the spear, causing it to tremble as the golden-rod wobbled severely!
*Bang!~*
'What speed...!'
Davis was utterly taken aback by the speed of the tribulation lightning. The tribulation clouds were hundreds of kilometers away from him in the sky, and yet it struck him in an instant! With his spear shrouded in his destructive death-like energy, he instantly deflected the lightning as he pierced.
*Rumble!~*
The tribulation clouds seemed to rumble in anger, gathering more of its blue-colored tribulation lightning towards its center as if it was a black hole that attracted and a white hole that spewed out what it gathered.
Davis's expression was ugly even though he defended against the first strike of the heavenly tribulation with ease. He slightly lowered his head and cast a glance at the suffering Tia Alstreim and saw that she had still not awoken. That meant it was not waiting for them to finish the first trial but was planning to finish them off with both trials.
Was a heavenly tribulation supposed to be like that!? It was different from what he read in the myths, that heavenly tribulations were both a rain for disaster and growth!
In this case, it seemed to give him some time before trying to kill them because only ten seconds had passed from the moment he cleared the Heart Demon Trial, while the trajectory of the lightning also seemed to have been targeted at the little Tia, who was slightly away from him!
It had tried to go after Tia right after striving to pierce through him, but fortunately, he had blocked it!
He couldn't understand its intent other than feeling that it was hostile.
'Could it be this is because I specifically interfered, or it doesn't want Tia, no, the person with the Karmic Guardian Physique to survive?'
Fallen Heaven had erased all traces of itself within his soul that even he could not sense it in him other than the mysterious soul connection they shared. However, that was mutual and personal between them, so the heavens shouldn't be likely to be able to find the peculiarity, or so he reflected.
He felt that it was most likely the latter. Otherwise, this kind of hostility from the heavens didn't make sense.
*Boom!~*
Another blue-colored tribulation lightning arc plunged from the heavens! It was a meter wide from the last tribulation lightning.
Davis saw it coming this time as he gritted his teeth while his muscles tightened up. His soul force covering the spear turned into greyish black on top of the earth-attributed armament energy as he slashed in an arc, severing the tribulation lightning that struck with more might than before!
*Bang!~*
The tribulation lightning became severed into two. However, the strand of tribulation lightning got stuck to the black spearhead, but the death-like energy soon devoured it in a second.
In the distance, Mival Silverwind was awestruck as he saw Davis battle it out with the heavenly tribulation. His expression was one of wonder and awe as he didn't think that the person he chose to gamble on would be capable of defending himself against a heavenly tribulation with such ease.
What kind of prowess did he have to achieve this feat? Especially that strange greyish energy at the spearhead. It was utterly ominous as well as equally destructive, obliterating even the tribulation lightning.
'Is it some kind of Greater Law that has unfolded from the sea of Primary Laws of Darkness Laws...?'
He thought but wasn't able to differentiate as he had a feeling that it might be the legendary Death Laws. However, it didn't make sense to him as he was aware that Davis had comprehended the fabled Life Laws.
How under the heavens was it possible for him to comprehend both!?
It was supposed to be like ice and fire as they were two opposites!
He was struck with immense uncertainty and confusion instead of lightning when he suddenly noticed the little girl on the surface had woken up as her eyes went wide.
Davis didn't avert his gaze from the heavenly tribulation as he knew that the interval of the next strike was three seconds that he as pierced the spear again in an arc towards the heavens!
*Bang!~*
The tribulation lightning crashed as the illumination overwhelmed Tia Alstreim as she saw the spectacle. Her thoughts had just become clear from clearing the Heart Demon Tribulation when she suddenly noticed Davis being struck by lightning!
”Big brother!!!”
She screamed as she sat up, her moist eyes still shedding tears as her heart clenched at the sight of him disappearing from her view.
