Chapter 1375: Tribulation Ended? (1/2)
Tia Alstreim cried miserably as she looked at the skies where the heavenly tribulation clouds began to once again rumble to strike her down. She couldn't understand what she had done to deserve this other than acting willful, but was it so sinful that the heavens decided that she must not live?
She dragged her body as she ran on all fours towards the crater over her side before she saw that her big brother remained unmoving while lightning danced on top of him.
”Big brother...”
Her aggrieved voice resounded in a feeble tone. Even though Davis still seemed to hold the golden-black spear tightly while his body kept twitching, he did not seem to hear his little aunt calling out for him.
At this moment, five seconds had already passed since the last tribulation lightning fell to the mortal ground. It did not come falling after three seconds as it had done before but seemed to be brewing with deep, pure heaven and earth energy that congregated a massive array of lightning in the center.
The three Ninth Stage Powerhouses twisted expressions went ugly as they noticed that the heavenly tribulation seemed to be preparing for its last strike!
However, their expressions went even more ugly as they saw the little girl stand up and spread her hands out, guarding Davis's unmoving body as she looked at the heavenly tribulation.
”Heavens... If you want our life, please... just take mine and... leave my big brother alone...” Her lips quivered as she sniffled, taking gasps at intervals as she kept crying in pleading.
Her words were so soft and touching that they struck the chords of the three Ninth Stage Powerhouses, managing to make their hearts feel heavy.
*Rumble!~*
However, the heavenly tribulation deeply rumbled as if it had responded, but its answer was crystal clear as the energy in the entire dark skies seemed to be sucked clean by it, creating a bolt of terrifying tribulation lightning that crackled and arced, dancing like a dragon snake, one similar to the Chinese Dragon.
Tia Alstreim lost all hope as she saw the twenty-meter wide dragon face. Its whiskers and two horns also crackled with tribulation lightning as it began to undulate with a terrifying aura while its prowess had also seemed to reach the very apex of the eighth stage.
However, she didn't bend or retreat in the face of this overwhelming aura. She stood her ground, standing in front of Davis's twitching body as she gritted her teeth, determination welling up in small purple her eyes to block this attack with her own body so that her big brother wouldn't be harmed.
Although she was aware that she was hoping that the lightning wouldn't get past her, she knew that it was nothing but a vain hope on her part.
'The least I can do is die along with big brother for my stupidity...'
Tia Alstreim produced a forced smile that swallowed her sorrow at this moment, making her deeply hate the heavens.
She practically readied herself to be burned into a crisp, with not even a chance of ashes remaining. However, her smiling expression froze as she sensed a towering figure standing behind her. She slowly cast her gaze behind and saw the charred Davis seemed no longer charred. Only his previous purple robes were charred black, while on the other hand, he seemed relatively unharmed as his fair skin practically shone with vitality under a greyish white illumination.
Davis jumped, his hands streaming with his death-like energy from his soul sea, and the Golden Sheen Obsidian Spear, which seemed to have already had its blade chipped at the end, trembled with intensity as its earth armament energy surged like a tide!
It was the ninth second at the same time...
*Boom!~*
The dragon-like tribulation lightning descended in a calm manner, taking its time as if it had its own will while watching the two of them with its lightning-filled eyes with hostility.
The three Ninth Stage Powerhouses' expressions all went aghast as they sensed the terrifying might from the ninth tribulation lightning! They mused that they might be able to block it, but Davis, who had just entered the Low-Level King Soul Stage, was far from being able to defend against it!
”NO!!!”
Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression went ugly as he took a step forward.
”Don't interfere!”
Davis's voice echoed deeply as he kept his head high, causing him to stop.
The greyish-black death-like energy that already covered the spear in its dreadful might once again surge out of his forehead as it covered the entire portion of his body, forming a black mist that surrounded him in a circular sphere that was as small as two-meter in radius, incredibly condensed and consolidated as it was a wall made from emperor grade material.
It was thick, filled with an ominous air that might suffocate any party in it to death!
Inside the almost pitch black mist, his lips moved as his sapphire eyes flashed with rage while the dragon-like tribulation lightning neared while its eyes appeared as if it deeply looked down on the human!
”King Soul Domain~”
*Bang!!!!!!!~*
A resounding explosion echoed as the illumination overwhelmed the eyes of the onlookers as it caused them to close their eyes! The sound echoed only for a moment before their ears became filled with ringing noise as they shut out any sounds.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldn't believe the destruction it caused in mid-air that he almost believed that two Ninth Stage Powerhouses were battling it out just now. His expression was blank as he could not see or hear if Davis was still alive or not amidst the blinding illumination.
