Chapter 128: Ascending to Ruler

"Boom rumble..."

Early the next morning, Sylvus's body shook as he successfully broke through to the Nine-Star Mage Emperor.

"I've finally reached the Nine-Star Mage Emperor. Today, I can fuse with the Divine Core and become a Lower Deity."

Sylvus opened his eyes with a smile.

He had only been on the Ezlar Continent for about two months.

Yet he had already grown from an ordinary person into a Nine-Star Mage Emperor powerhouse.

Moreover, today he would become a true Deity-level power.

"Training is really simple."

Sylvus smiled faintly as he got up and began to wash up.

Soon, the small shop was open for business.

Meylan dutifully sold pills.

Sylvus went up to the rooftop to prepare for his breakthrough.

Since there would be people outside even if the shop was closed, he figured it was better to break through now.

With that thought, Sylvus took out the Divine Essence Pill and swallowed it directly.

As the pill entered his stomach, Sylvus felt a surge of powerful energy rushing to his limbs and bones.

At the same time, the magic within his body was undergoing some sort of transformation.

"..."

Then, a powerful aura erupted from Sylvus's body.

The people inside the small shop, who were buying pills, were startled and looked up at the rooftop in surprise.

"What is the boss doing?"

Meylan frowned and hurried up to the rooftop.

He found Sylvus sitting there with his eyes closed, his aura fluctuating.

"Don't mind me, continue with your work."

Noticing Meylan 's arrival, Sylvus spoke calmly with his eyes still closed.

Although Meylan was puzzled, he did not dare to disobey Sylvus.

He nodded and continued selling from below the shop, assuring the customers not to worry.

"Boom rumble..."

At this moment, what was once a clear sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds.

Powerhouses across the Holy City turned their gaze towards Sylvus's small shop.

Everyone knew that if anyone dared summon the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation in the Holy City, it could only be Sylvus.

Even if it wasn't him directly, it certainly had something to do with him.

Inside the shop, Meylan frowned again.

"Why is the boss summoning the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation again? And at the level of a Mage Emperor's tribulation? Has he developed some powerful new magic?"

In the palace:

"What's going on? Why is the boss summoning the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation again? And it seems like someone's breaking through to the Mage Emperor level. Didn't he say there was no more Divine Power?"

Boone came outside the great hall, looking up at the rolling white lightning in the sky with confusion.

Compared to before, Boone was much calmer when seeing the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation now.

It was nothing new; he'd gotten used to it.

"Did you forget? He can create Divine Power. It's probably another lucky person who obtained it," said Mor helplessly.

Hearing this, Boone smiled wryly.

If Mor hadn't reminded him, he might have forgotten that Sylvus could still create Divine Power.

"Boom rumble..."

After about half an hour, the first bolt of Heavenly Lightning Tribulation fell.

When the lightning struck Sylvus, what was once fierce lightning energy became extremely gentle as it entered his body.

"..."

As Sylvus felt the lightning entering his body, the magic within him began to change, all converging towards the center of his forehead.

There, a rhombus-shaped shard was gradually forming.

"So, this is the Divine Core... But the Heaven and Earth Power of the Ezlar Continent is too weak, and the lightning is not enough to form a complete Divine Core."

Sylvus thought to himself and turned his right hand, producing the Divine-level Divine Core he had obtained earlier.

[System Prompt: Host is using a Divine-level Divine Core. To fully fuse with the Divine Core, the host must endure eighty-one rounds of Heavenly Lightning Tribulation. Please be prepared!]

With the system's voice echoing, the Divine Core in Sylvus's hand turned into a stream of light and merged into the center of his forehead.

The forming shard shattered instantly.

"Eighty-one rounds of Heavenly Lightning Tribulation? As expected of a Divine-level Divine Core; the treatment is indeed different."

Hearing the system's words, Sylvus smiled faintly.

He had no fear in his heart; it was just eighty-one rounds of Heavenly Lightning Tribulation.

He could handle even a thousand rounds of tribulation without a problem.

"Boom rumble..."

At the same time, the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation rolling in the sky suddenly paused.

The next second, an even more terrifying aura spread out.

The entire Ezlar Continent began to tremble, as if some horrifying existence was about to descend.

"What a powerful aura! It seems to be coming from the direction of the Holy City. What happened now?"

Elena, who had been training, opened her eyes and flew into the air.

She found that the terrifying aura indeed came from the direction of the Holy City.

Not daring to hesitate, Elena transformed into a stream of light and flew quickly towards the Holy City.

"What is the boss up to again? We're so far from the Holy City, yet we can still feel such a terrifying aura."

In the Titan territory, Ronald frowned as he worked on the Divine Heavenly Battleship.

After some hesitation, he unleashed his Ruler Knight power and also headed towards the Holy City.

Meanwhile, all the powerhouses across the continent felt the overwhelming pressure.

Not knowing what was happening, they also flew towards the Holy City.

"Is the boss crazy? This doesn't seem like a Mage Emperor-level tribulation, right? My... my magic is completely suppressed."

In the Holy City, Boone looked up at the white lightning vortex in the sky with a stunned expression.

Even with his rank as a Saint Mage, just feeling the aura of the tribulation rendered him unable to use his magic.

"I've never seen such a terrifying Heavenly Lightning Tribulation before. The entire thousand-mile radius of the Holy City has become an anti-magic field. Could it be that the boss is breaking through?" Searᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Mor , standing nearby, looked up at the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation in shock.

What level of powerhouse was Sylvus?

To trigger a Heavenly Lightning Tribulation that could suppress a thousand-mile radius into an anti-magic state...

Not even Grey, the former king, could have done this.

As for the citizens of the Holy City, they were understandably confused.

Many thought they had lost their abilities until the royal family explained the situation, and they finally understood.

However, this only made their admiration for Sylvus grow even more.

To cause such a powerful tribulation just by breaking through—what kind of strength did Sylvus truly possess?

"Boom rumble..."

At this moment, the second round of Heavenly Lightning Tribulation had already descended.

Unlike the first, the second bolt was even thicker and more terrifying.

When it fell, the space it passed through completely shattered.

Yet such a powerful tribulation became as gentle as a spring breeze when it reached Sylvus.

"..."

As the lightning entered his body, the Divine-level Divine Core absorbed it instantly.

The once dim Divine Core now emitted a faint glow.
