Chapter 468 - 468: Divine Heavenly Tribulation - Earth.

Theo's body was getting hot. He felt that his affinity for fire was about to break another level. With a low shout, a pillar of golden flame formed and then was swallowed by Theo's body. It was then that a holographic screen appeared in front of him.

[Heavenly Fire Level reached level 8.]

'It didn't increase my lineage cells...' Theo sighed and didn't want to think about it now. He focused on going through the next stage of the Heavenly Divine Tribulation.

In the air in front of Theo, a mass of energy formed and continued to grow. From the mass of energy, a gray-colored aura appeared, and it continued to grow more and more...

'Now what will it be?' Theo was a little curious.

As it got bigger, the energy-mass started to take shape. Hairy feet and arms came out of the energy-mass ball, then a gray gorilla head formed and the gray gorilla roared.

*ROARRR!*

The gray gorilla's roar was deafening and created spears of the earth that came out of the ground. Theo had to be quick and dodge, otherwise he would be hit. Although Theo would not have been dealt any significant harm, he was not a masochist who liked to feel pain.

The gray gorilla emerged completely from the mass of energy. He was huge. Theo thought that King Kong would feel like a small child next to that gorilla. In addition, this gorilla's power was also three times greater than that of the fire dragon.

Theo, being in his human form, had to look up if he wanted to be able to look at the gray gorilla's head.

"F.u.c.k. Aren't you a little too big?" Theo exclaimed, totally impressed.

The gray gorilla paid no attention to what Theo said. It hit its chest, then looked in Theo's direction and roared like a wild beast full of fury.

"Annoying..." Theo murmured as he channeled his spiritual mana into his hand and jumped into the air, going in the direction of the gray gorilla to attack him.

Seeing this, the gorilla, although not highly intelligent, was still a rational beast and snorted disdainfully, throwing a punch with his big fist the size of a white whale towards Theo.

"Heh... This gorilla can even show that kind of look," Theo murmured a little impressed.

*BOOM!*

Theo's little fist, by comparison, surrounded by his golden aura, hit the gray gorilla's fist head-on. A deafening crash resounded as the earth and space trembled fiercely.

To everyone's surprise, even though Theo's punch didn't look like anything incredible, he was able to make the giant gray gorilla back up several steps, making the ground shake.

An expression of rage and fury appeared on the gray gorilla's face as it stabilized. The gray gorilla slammed its chest noisily as it roared even more wildly. He then ran towards Theo with both hands on the ground and condensed an earthy brown aura in his giant hand. Standing again, the gray gorilla threw a powerful punch at Theo.

This time Theo knew he had to be a little more serious. He decided to use one of his techniques to counter the gray gorilla's punch.

'!' Theo screamed in his mind as he attacked.

The impact of Theo and the gorilla's punches was even stronger than before, causing the air to crack, looking like shattering glass.

If the floor hadn't been so tough, cracks would have been created by the shock waves that Theo and the gray gorilla's attack was causing.

*URGHHHH!*

This time, Theo's punch was so strong and heavy, it made the gorilla's middle finger break and bend in a strange way. Due to the pain, the gray gorilla roared painfully and looked at Theo full of resentment and indignation.

Despite feeling the gray gorilla's spiteful gaze, Theo smiled satisfactorily; he was having fun with this fight. In addition, he wanted to use this to improve himself and stay strong.

After exchanging a few blows, Theo thought it was time to end this.

'!' The moment Theo shouted this in his mind, a golden flame dragon materialized and went towards the gray gorilla.

When the gray gorilla saw the golden fire dragon coming towards him, it showed a genuine expression of fear and dread. Although large, the gorilla was very fast, however, the dragon with golden flames was even faster, leaving no gap for the gray gorilla to escape.

*ROOOOARRRR!*

Striking against its chest, the gray gorilla raised its powers to the maximum. It then created a shield made of earth in front of itself, intending to defend itself against the incoming attack.

With a weak snort, Theo knew that this earth shield would not be able to prevent his attack. The moment the golden flame dragon hit the shield, it was extremely easy to break, as easy to break as styrofoam. The golden flame dragon did not lose its power and slammed into the gray gorilla's chest. As it looked like a snake, only with many legs, and with a long golden dragon mustache, the golden flame dragon began to curl up around the gray gorilla that screamed in agonized pain. It was very similar to the way an anaconda and some other snakes attack and strangle their prey.

'This is an attack with a small amount of intelligence!' From inside the illusory room, Helena was amazed at what she was seeing. At Theo's current cultivating level, it was almost impossible to use such a high-level technique. Even some of the divine beings who were in the illusory room could not use this type of attack.

"Impossible!" Semyaz got up from the chair in which he was sitting so hard that he shattered the chair into pieces, but he didn't worry about it now. He looked in the direction of Theo with complex emotions, which were replaced by hate when he noticed that Helena now seemed even more interested in that damn golden fox that came out of nowhere.

"Unexpectedly, this young man can use this kind of high-level attack..." An old man who looked much like a rat, murmured. He could still remember how long it took to create such an attack. Furthermore, this dragon with golden flames had a lively look; his eyes did not look like dead fish, as it usually happened.

"What the hell!?"

"What is happening!?"

"Was that real?"

It was quite difficult for cultivators to master this technique.

Theo was totally unaware of what was going on in the illusory room, and the surprises he gave them. For Theo, this was nothing so spectacular, although he admitted it was one of the most powerful attacks he could ever conjure.

As the gray gorilla that was made of pure energy was burning, without anyone noticing, that pure energy was constantly going towards Theo. Theo even reinforced this with his illusions and with the technique of concealment. The more cautious he was, the better.

The gray gorilla gave a last roar before it started to dissolve like smoke; only the golden color of the smoke remained. Because of the golden aura that had broken down towards Theo's body, all the divine beings who watched believed that it was only Theo's spiritual mana that was returning. Because of that, they found it a little strange at best, but they didn't suspect anything when they saw it.

[False Heavenly Earth Level reached level 10!

'Good!' Theo was happy in his heart. If he got lucky, he soon might manage to make that affinity evolve.
