Chapter 630 Roars of Anger

An absolutely horrifying and awe inspiring aura flooded all throughout the Jade Dragon Empire trial lands, from the Lava-filled world to the end of the realm. All the youths within felt the aura, and couldn’t help but shudder in fright. It was as if an apocalypse of death had arrived in the lands, with the sole intention of wiping out all life.

No one knew where this aura was coming from, until a spawning mass of blackened clouds appeared high in the sky above the trial lands. Despite being hundreds or even thousands of miles from the center of the tribulation clouds, all the youths within couldn’t help but stare at them in shock and awe.

Outside the portals that John had been knocked through, the gathered youths couldn’t help but stare straight up at the clouds that had appeared overhead.

“Tribulation clouds!” a youth exclaimed, “but why is this tribulation so frightening?”

“It’s as if the Heavens have arrived to destroy everything!” another replied with a face full of awe, as well as fear.

“Where is the source of the tribulation?” another asked.

“We can’t say for sure exactly, as we don’t know how the portals to the next area work, but it’s definitely beyond these portals,” another exclaimed..

“I wonder who the tribulation is for? Is it for some beast? Surely it can’t be for one of us,” another chimed up. Heated discussion quickly broke out throughout the entire realm as to the source of the tribulation, but no one could say for sure. All they could do is stare at the clouds above, and wonder who was so unlucky as to be the target of such a terrifying tribulation.

…

Rumble!

The clouds above rumbled with fury, while the heavenly lightning eyes stared down at John as if he were its most hated enemy.

Bang!

Another tribulation lightning bolt slammed down towards John, its power greater than the previous attack. John’s fist punched out once again as the two powerful attacks collided. A similar explosion radiated outwards, the outcome of the clash the same as before.

A smirk appeared on John’s face as his Celestial Lightning Script started to revolve. He had allowed a small portion of that last attack to rampage wildly within his body, and used the Celestial Lightning Script to heal the lightning wounds to increase the quality of his lightning attribute body.

“As I said, you’re a slave to your own power,” John mocked the Heavens above again. “You know I’m absorbing your power, and yet you can’t do anything about it. What a miserable existence,” he chastised as he shook his head, as if he were pitying the Heavens.

The Heaven’s knew John was able to absorb its power and turn it into his strength, and would love for nothing more than to throw its full might in a singular attack, shattering his body and turning it into dust. However, as John had mocked many times already, the Heaven’s were bound to the rules of the universe, despite being the ones that enforced those rules.

“You know, in a certain way, you are quite pitiable,” John said as if he cared about the Heavens, who responded with another tribulation bolt piercing down towards him, its power greater than the previous two strikes.

The next several minutes was a battle between John and the tribulation lightning bolts, which slammed against his body without a care from John. The lightning of pure destruction coursed through his body, attempting to destroy every cell within. However, the energy from the Celestial Lightning Script opposed the heavenly tribulation lightning, as a battlefield occurred within John’s body.

His flesh began to char and light wounds were opened up on his skin, causing Laia to frown in worry. However, John acted as if he didn’t notice the wounds at all, and so she remained on standby, ready to help at a moment’s notice. Her right hand continued to rub Kirii’s head, who seemed to be more interested in the head pats than the apocalyptic battle above. His relaxed mood caused Laia to smile at his child-like antics, while her anxiousness lessened.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The battle between John and the Heaven’s continued. The might of each attack was greater than the last, and John eventually reached a point where his body could no longer resist the power of the lightning.

‘I’ve reached my limit without using the Asura Transformation Art, but I need to save that for last, as the burden it puts on my body is beyond immense. I’ve increased the quality of my lightning attribute body as much as I can without causing harm to my combat prowess, but I’ve reached my limit in that regard now. I suppose it’s time I start taking this seriously.’

A golden battle axe suddenly appeared in John’s hands, appearing like a golden sun within the blackness below the tribulation clouds.

Bang!

Another tribulation lightning bolt slammed down, its power beyond horrifying. John steadied his battle axe and prepared to unleash an attack, when a crazy thought popped up in his mind.

“I suppose each tribulation bolt is like a roar of anger from you,” John said as he looked at the approaching beam of lightning. “Allow me to reply in kind.”

John’s chest suddenly expanded as he breathed in as deep as possible, the surrounding air becoming turbulent from his forceful breath. The tribulation lightning beam arrived before him, while John’s mouth suddenly opened wide. A thunderous roar, like that of a mighty dragon boomed out, the power of the roar beyond anything Laia had heard a human unleash

The shockwaves from the roar boomed out in all directions, while the main power of the roar slammed against the lightning bolt above. The lightning bolt seemed to stop in space, as if it wanted to travel further but something invisible was blocking its way forward. The struggle lasted for a short while before the tribulation beam faded away, its power unable to reach John’s body.

Bang!

Another tribulation beam was unleashed without hesitation, while John’s chest puffed out before he unleashed another thunderous roar.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The overwhelming sounds of the tribulation beams and dragon-like roars flooded the sky and the land below, the soundwaves alone causing the ground to shake and crack apart, as the battle between man and the Heavens continued to rage on.
