Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2092: Heavenly Pill Tribulation

As for the other Perfect-Tier Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill, he instantly used Karmicgrace on it as he felt that it was better to strike while the iron was hot, pouring most of the karmic virtue he had with him until it neared the twelve-meter mark!

Bright, or rather, virtuous gold shone upon the cerulean pill, quickly becoming absorbed by the pill as though a magical hand was at work when suddenly a bolt of light blinded Davis.

*Rumble!~*

The heaven and earth energy shuddered, bringing in an aura full of innate oppression. Dark clouds gathered, shrouding the bright sky in its darkness, causing a wide cover of shadow to fall on the desert lands. The dilapidated ruins of the palace also became eerie, appearing like they hosted many ghosts and devils from the legends.

Davis had his head inclined above, his eyes blinking because the dark clouds werenʼt three kilometers above but even above the over-reaching skies, one that gathers when there is a…

”Wait… that doesnʼt seem like a Pill Tribulation but rather… a Heavenly Tribulation…!”

Davis abruptly opened his mouth and claimed in shock, caught off-guard.

ʼAnd this feeling… itʼs like a Destructive Heavenly Tribulation...ʼ

Davisʼs pupils dilated, understanding that the heavens donʼt want a pill of this level to exist!

If he hadnʼt faced Tiaʼs Heavenly Tribulation and seen Nightveilʼs Heavenly Tribulation, where the former was considered a Destructive Heavenly Tribulation because she hadnʼt earned enough karmic virtue and the latter was considered a normal Heavenly Tribulation, he wouldnʼt have been able to differentiate this quickly.

”Tyriele, you wonʼt bicker with me to stay my hand this time, right?”

”This… master, I donʼt know about this... Heavenly Tribulation.”

Tyriele also visibly panicked, seemingly shuddering out of the innate fear it felt towards the heavens.

Davis didnʼt look down on it because the spirits of this world all seemed to have reverence for the heavens in their hearts. Lancelot, the Golden Sheen Obsidian Spear, was also scared to death back then and even he felt suppressed underneath the threatening form of the tribulation clouds. Besides, it was only humans who would dare to curse the heavens, generally speaking, so he didnʼt blame Tyriele for shaking and reverential in the presence of its aura.

”Alright.”

He answered and was about to move when Tyriele abruptly spoke.

”By the signs of the phenomenon, I can differentiate that this isnʼt a Pill Tribulation, but master, Iʼm fairly certain that I can withstand this heavenly tribulation with my durable body...”

Davis turned to look at Tyriele, appearing shocked as he didnʼt expect it to volunteer at this moment.

In Pill Tribulations, it was absolutely fine for two parties to get involved. The one who created the pill and the other, which is the cauldron itself. Therefore, Tyriele interfering with the heavenly tribulation by shielding the pill wouldnʼt cause an adverse reaction.

However, to think that it would quickly conquer its fears and volunteer to defend herself. He couldnʼt help but give Tyriele a genuine smile.

”Iʼm sure you could...”

”Then-”

”However, just stay back and watch how your master plays with the heavens now.”

Davis shot a confident smile at the bewildered Tyriele before he appeared to gain some distance, arriving in the open space outside while the tribulation clouds gathered tremendous energy to strike the pill in his hand.

It kept shuddering as though it was scared, causing Davisʼs pupils to dilate again.

ʼThis… I can feel its spiritual undulations...ʼ

Davisʼs heart shook as he could feel that the pill was alive, or to be precise, producing a consciousness. After all, he had already experienced the birth of consciousness in so many vegetative lifeforms like plants and trees while cultivating them with life energy, and this feeling was eerily similar.

He couldnʼt help but wonder what kind of damned pill had he been making underneath the heavens. Surely, its tier has gone above Ascended-Tier. Is that why the heavens got angry and sent a Destructive Heavenly Tribulation towards the pill?

ʼSo itʼs not exclusive to my Perfect-Tier Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill…?ʼ

He contemplated many things about this phenomenon, but the phenomenon wouldnʼt wait for him to arrive at an answer.

*Bang!~*

A thunderous arc of blue lightning plunged from the dark clouds, striking the Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill. Blinding light flashed against Davis while the pill became engulfed in heavenly lightning.

Davis also felt struck by the heavenly lightning as he was holding the pill in his palm, his arm becoming quickly charred by the tremendous prowess of the tribulation lightning.

ʼShit. Itʼs already three levels higher than the Peak-Level Ninth Stage…?ʼ

Davis clenched his teeth as he endured the pain, for he hadnʼt used much of his soul force to defend against the tribulation lightning just now. But at the same time, life energy surged from Davisʼs palm as it engulfed the rampaging heavenly lightning, trying to subdue it.

The heavenly lightningʼs power soared as it tried to rush past Davisʼs defenses and destroy the pill, its destructive might appearing overwhelming and tedious to erase, but as a moment passed, it started to show some minute changes, becoming slower or rather, tamer.

ʼI was right… even my life energy is capable of subduing it…!ʼ

Davis became full of joy, his eyes practically emitting flames. Since his life energy can also grow life, he felt that it should also simulate Fallen Heavenʼs properties a tiny bit. After all, their souls were fused, and his comprehension also stemmed from it as his soul grew along with it.

However, he also saw that the rate at which he subdued the heavenly tribulation lightning was vastly slower than Fallen Heavenʼs, making his expression fall. He couldnʼt afford to keep the caught heavenly lightning at bay because he knew that at the third second, another tribulation lightning would fall!

*Bzzzzz~*

The second arc of heavenly lightning shot down like an arrow piercing the surface, exploding right on the pill!

*Bang!~*

”Hmph!”

The ground shattered as it revealed a crater, but Davis also used his power without holding back.

Soul force fumed out of his soul sea, covering his entire body with tremendous life energy. The sheer volume of life energy emerging from his soul stopped the second lightning strike from causing any damage and quickly looked to tame it. However, most of the volume was being continuously purged by the life energy, leaving him with thirty percent of the heavenly tribulation of lightningʼs pure energy to be refined.

ʼAlmost perfect…!

The taming of the heavenly lightning arcs was quicker than Davis thought, done in two seconds, unlike before when he took a long time, but his usage of soul force was also significant, already having spent about five percent. Although there were only seven tribulation lightning strikes left, he knew that the heavens were already getting angrier as he heard its terrifying rumbling, bringing him more pressure.

Thousands of strands of heavenly lightning swam in the dark clouds, gathering at the center before it stretched out and pointed towards him like a hissing snake, except its hissing was a low yet deep rumble, almost striking fear into his heart if it werenʼt were for his prior experience.

ʼUndoubtedly, the subsequent strikes are going to get harder to defend against...ʼ

Davis sucked in a break of cold air through his clenched teeth, bringing the floating puddle of tamed heavenly tribulation lightning strands towards his back while he kept the front free of obstacles, ready to entrap the heavenly tribulation lightning again as he opened his palm, revealing the transforming Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill as the bait.
