Chapter 2092 Heavenly Pill Tribulation
Davis only ogled at the two Perfect-Tier Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pills for a few moments before he hurriedly stored one of them in a jade container, the type used to seal medicinal pills, suppressing its deterioration by millions of years.
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 weren't three kilometers above but even above the over-reaching skies, one that gathers when there is a...
"Wait... that doesn't seem like a Pill Tribulation but rather... a Heavenly Tribulation...!"
Davis abruptly opened his mouth and claimed in shock, caught off-guard.
'And this feeling... it's like a Destructive Heavenly Tribulation...'
Davis's pupils dilated, understanding that the heavens don't want a pill of this level to exist!
If he hadn't faced Tia's Heavenly Tribulation and seen Nightveil's Heavenly Tribulation, where the former was considered a Destructive Heavenly Tribulation because she hadn't earned enough karmic virtue and the latter was considered a normal Heavenly Tribulation, he wouldn't have been able to differentiate this quickly.
"Tyriele, you won't bicker with me to stay my hand this time, right?"
"This... master, I don't know about this... Heavenly Tribulation."
Tyriele also visibly panicked, seemingly shuddering out of the innate fear it felt towards the heavens.
Davis didn't 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 didn't blame Tyriele for shaking and reverential in the presence of its aura.
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.
'Shit. It's already three levels higher than the Peak-Level Ninth Stage...?'
Davis clenched his teeth as he endured the pain, for he hadn't used much of his soul force to defend against the tribulation lightning just now. But at the same time, life energy surged from Davis's palm as it engulfed the rampaging heavenly lightning, trying to subdue it.
The heavenly lightning's power soared as it tried to rush past Davis's 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.
'I was right... even my life energy is capable of subduing it...!'
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 Heaven's 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 Heaven's, making his expression fall. He couldn't 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 lightning's pure energy to be refined.
'Almost 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 weren't were for his prior experience.
'Undoubtedly, the subsequent strikes are going to get harder to defend against...'
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.
