Chapter 1238 Another tribulation

The universe looked different in his eyes. He could see so much more about everything he looked at that he actually found it a little absurd. How could there be so many secrets in every little thing all around him that he never discovered his entire life?

It was astounding. He was rapidly learning a lot about everything each and every moment, and though he expected that to slow down eventually as he spent enough time in this realm, it was at the moment increasing his comprehension of laws tremendously.

Abstract concepts no longer seemed abstract. Instead, they made so much sense he wondered why he had never seen the simple truth before. At the same time, he also knew why.

This body of his... everything about it was different. He could truly understand why this was called immortal, while even the Nascent realm, as powerful as it was, was merely mortal. U//ppTodated fr/o/m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)\/m

The tribulation had changed him on a fundamental level, and the strange energy he felt fill him right after had finished the process. Even though Lex was now suddenly privy to many secrets of the universe, he still did not understand exactly how the tribulation changed him, and what that energy was.

But he wasn't focused on it. Instead, he realized something very significant - something he had been blaming the system, and to a degree Mary with as well.

There were certain secrets of the universe his mundane body, no matter how resilient it was, was not equipped to handle. In fact, Lex recalled the subtle sense of oppression and rejection he felt when he learned the name of the realm after Heavenly Immortal, which was the Celestial Immortal realm.

Then, his Domination moved in a way that only dragons could control their Dragons Might. His aura mimicked his sword, and then mimicked his sword intent. It was invisible and without form, but that did not mean it did not exist.

Lex stimulated his tenet, just a bit, and through his Domination exerted his will on the laws around him. If it was a battle for supremacy, then it did not feel like it. After all, the laws did not resist him. Instead, in the way that the universe itself bent around to the will of the dragons, the laws around Lex readily converged according to Lex's will.

Long before the beast of lightning could reach Lex, the air, the space, the darkness, the light, the heat, everything around him shimmered, revealing a white light greatly reminiscent of Lex's sword intent, and slashed at the lightning beast.

Lex frowned as he felt the strain. He wasn't completely used to it yet, but it didn't matter. The result was satisfactory. The universe had unleashed a tribulation onto Lex, and so Lex used the universe itself to fight back. What fell onto Lex's body was not the electric beast, but the energy from the lightning bolt that would convert his body.

Lex felt some stimulation in his right eye that he didn't quite understand. But there would be time to look into it later. For now, he turned his gaze to the dragon in front of him, and smiled.

"They sent you after me?" Lex questioned, as if he heard the biggest joke of all. It was only after becoming an immortal that he began to understand that an immortal's greatest strength was the influence they had over laws - not their insanely strong bodies, or whatever other abilities they had. This was something that many of the immortals he had previously faced did not completely realize - that was the sole reason he had been able to confront them to begin with. Of course, for those who had begun to dabble with laws, Lex was doing that already as well, so only those who truly, deeply began to understand laws could have ever faced him even when he was in the Nascent realm. Now that he was an immortal, the very thought that someone who did not rely on an immortal's greatest strength could defeat him was laughable.

Lex opened his mouth to taunt the dragon a little, but the clouds above Lex suddenly rumbled once more. His third tribulation for the Earth Immortal realm was beginning.
