Chapter 1247 Double tribulation
The immortals looked at Lex, horrified. What kind of monster were they facing? How was it possible for a single, new immortal to fight against the concentrated efforts of nine immortals using their tenets together for a single purpose?
How was it possible for Lex to personify his tenet so easily? Even if a person knew about the benefits of personifying their tenets, actually achieving it was not easy!
But that was, in a way, a benefit of a single, simple tenet. It was much simpler to resonate with it. As a consequence, it lacked the versatility of more complex tenets.
The immortals were in genuine shock, yet listening to Jeffrey's advice, they had already planned for failure. That is why only nine immortals worked together to summon the pillar, not ten. The tenth was setting up their subsequent attack.
Yet the momentary delay their shock caused robbed them of the opportunity to continue attacking Lex.
Now that Lex had learned a new way to attack tenets, a new way to use laws, and a new way to use his tenet, he wanted to test it out. Especially since he gained an innate understanding of something called a Domain.
Simply speaking, a Domain was an area within which the laws were completely under an immortal's control. It reminded Lex of sealed domains, which were areas completely cut off from the world and had their own laws sometimes.
Regardless, the concept of Domain's was very interesting, and Lex could understand through very recent experience why an area where he could not access any law would be dangerous. Simply said, nine immortals joined together to put Lex inside a Domain.
Lex got the feeling that ordinarily, Earth Immortals might not be able to control domains. It seemed overpowered, not to mention that he had never heard of, or ever encountered one before. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
He looked forward to testing out how useful it was, though he felt restricting it to a single law was very wasteful. If he could incorporate a few more laws, and maybe even add elements of his Domination and Golden Inferno in it, it would be an incredible sight to behold. But that might be easier said than done.
One of the three immortals died, his body blowing up as if a bomb had been set off inside of him, and the other two were not far behind him.
Lex's eyes gleamed as he finally confirmed another way to kill immortals, though this also ultimately targeted tenets.
His next idea was to test the mind, affecting their personalities, making them behave contrary to their tenets. He wondered how that would affect them.
Yet before the next two immortals died, before the other immortals thought of a way to resolve the threat that was Lex, and before Lex finalized his next plan of attack, there was a change.
A bolt of lightning struck Lex from his fourth tribulation, but Lex's Domain easily blocked it. Yet something happened immediately after that which was not supposed to even be possible, let alone happen.
Lex's fifth tribulation, which was only supposed to trigger once his fourth one was complete, struck him down with a bolt of lightning, almost shattering Lex's Domain!
Everyone was stunned, Lex included!
How... how in the hell was he experiencing two tribulations at the same time?
It didn't make sense, yet the immortals rejoiced, and Jeffrey delayed his escape plans. Maybe there was hope of defeating him.
Lex, on the other hand, frowned. Things were getting out of hand now. It was best if he sped up his spring cleaning.
He took in a deep breath, and let his Domain fade. Just as the immortals thought he ran out of energy, a deep and overwhelming aura emerged from Lex's body, far beyond even his Domination!
On Lex's bareback, a lotus tattoo began to form.
