Chapter 463: Chapter 463: The Arrival of the Thunder Tribulation, Battle with Celestial Vault
John's figure flickered, and he appeared within Heavenly King's World-in-Hand. He gazed up at the thick, oppressive black clouds above, his expression solemn.
"Don't worry, I've got this!" he said calmly, his eyes filled with determination as he stared at
the dark clouds overhead.
This was a test for him as well. If he could help Heavenly King stabilize his World-in-Hand, it would give him more confidence when it came time for him to face his own Emperor Thunder Tribulation in the future.
Boom!
Thunder rumbled, and from within the heavy clouds, purple lightning flashed, resembling the Chaos of Demons.
Heavenly King had been prepared, but even so, the sensation made his scalp tingle, and his heart filled with unease.
The Emperor Thunder Tribulation had begun, and there was no turning back. It was either success or death.
"Heavenly King, you really have some guts!" Suddenly, a voice filled with fury rang out, and an overwhelming aura spread. A dark figure shot toward them at lightning speed.
It was Celestial Vault.
With a flash of movement, Celestial Vault rushed toward Heavenly King, intent on killing him. If he succeeded, the Thunder Tribulation would vanish.
"Celestial Vault, your opponent is us!" Two figures flashed in front of him-Nine Phoenix and Chaos immediately blocked his path.
"Seeking death!" Celestial Vault roared in fury. The overwhelming power of The Heaven surged around him as he unleashed his strongest attack.
Neither Nine Phoenix nor Chaos dared to underestimate him. The The Heaven power of laws and Chaos Force clashed, and they immediately became entangled with Celestial Vault.
His strength was immense, and he wasn't afraid of the two Emperors, but for the time being, he couldn't break free from them.
"Quick, Demon's Sky Formation!" Celestial Vault's face twisted in urgency as he ordered the Black Magicians.
"Understood!" The Black Magicians around him immediately moved, starting to set up the Demon's Sky Formation.
With Nine Phoenix and Chaos occupied in their battle, John and Heavenly King had to face the Thunder Tribulation. They couldn't interfere with the formation.
But neither of them feared it.
No matter how strong Demon's Sky Formation was, it wouldn't stand up to the Thunder Tribulation.
Boom!
At that moment, the clouds above roiled violently. The magma from the volcano below began to bubble as if boiling, rising higher in a more agitated state.
"It's coming!" Heavenly King kept his eyes fixed on the clouds above and warned.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning, as thick as a man's arm, descended in an instant, directly targeting Heavenly King.
With a deafening crash, his World-in-Hand trembled violently. Cracks appeared throughout the space, quickly spreading outward.
"That's powerful!" John's expression grew even more serious. He hadn't expected Heavenly King's World-in-Hand to be unable to withstand even the first, weakest bolt of the Thunder Tribulation.
He felt a stirring in his heart. The Power of the Necromancer surged within him, and he activated Heaven and Earth Transformation, immediately transforming into a towering giant.
Then, the Chaos Force surged, and the United Sword howled through the air, slashing down with the power of Creation and Destruction!
Buzz!
A massive sword light streaked through the air, and the cracks in space began to close, repairing World-in-Hand.
Soon, the surroundings returned to their original state.
John let out a sigh of relief and looked toward Heavenly King, his voice filled with concern. "Do you think it can hold?"
At this moment, Heavenly King looked disheveled, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, his gaze locked firmly on the black clouds above.
"I can hold," he wiped the blood from his lips, his expression filled with defiance.
"Come at me!" he roared, his white robe flapping loudly, and two azure longswords appeared in his hands.
He had also cultivated the Sword Law.
Crack!
A loud crash echoed as another purple bolt of lightning descended.
"Slash!" Heavenly King roared, crossing his swords and slashing at the lightning.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, he spat out blood and was sent flying backward.
John didn't have time to check on his injuries and immediately focused on stabilizing World-
in-Hand.
Boom boom...
Below them, the rumblings continued. The magma within the volcano surged violently, as if on the verge of eruption, threatening to impact World-in-Hand.
John felt an increasing pressure. He had no choice but to keep using Creation and Destruction, suppressing the immense forces of both the Thunder Tribulation and the volcano.
"Heavenly King, if you dare destroy my Dark City, even if you become an Emperor, I will still kill you!" Celestial Vault cursed loudly.
Inside, his anxiety grew, but he still couldn't shake off Nine Phoenix and Chaos.
But the real danger lay with John and Heavenly King.
The two of them were directly consumed by the endless barrage of lightning. "Dragon Transformation!" A deep, resonant dragon roar surged through the sky. John
transformed into a massive divine dragon, golden light flashing around him as he activated
Diamond Body Protection once more.
Crack!
Pfft...
The lightning struck, shattering the golden light. The hard scales of the dragon were
shattered under the impact.
In an instant, he was drenched in blood, directly struck down by the Thunder Tribulation.
[You have been killed by the Thunder Tribulation. Lifesaver talent activated.]
The prompt flashed, and he resurrected in place, his head throbbing with dizziness and sharp
pain.
These Thunder Tribulations also carried soul-damaging effects.
Before he could even catch his breath, endless lightning struck again, raining down
relentlessly.
The surrounding space shattered, chaotic energy swirling around, destroying Heavenly King's
World-in-Hand and devouring everything in its path.
The most unfortunate one was Heavenly King. The damage from the Thunder Tribulation,
combined with the backlash from the destruction of World-in-Hand, was excruciating for him.
Boom boom...
Below them, the rumbling continued, and lava surged from the volcano's crater, scorching World-in-Hand as well.
"Creation and Destruction!" John gritted his teeth. With the lightning crashing down on him, he once again used Creation and Destruction, stabilizing Heavenly King's World-in-Hand. Boom!
A deafening crash sounded, and he was struck down by the Thunder Tribulation once more. The prompt flashed again, and the Lifesaver talent was triggered for the third time. He resurrected at the same spot, his face grim and his gaze resolute. Ignoring the ongoing Thunder Tribulation attacks, he gritted his teeth and used Creation and Destruction again. "Damn it!" From a distance, Celestial Vault cursed furiously as he watched this scene unfold.
This volcano was nearly the heart of Dark City's power-it absolutely could not be allowed to
fail.
However, he was tangled up with Nine Phoenix and Chaos and couldn't free himself. He glanced at the severely wounded Black Magicians nearby and coldly ordered, "Jump down
there and stabilize the lava."
Everyone hesitated for a moment, then, under the overwhelming pressure, they leaped into
the lava beneath the Thunder Tribulation's coverage.
Splat splat...
Thin wisps of smoke rose, as they were instantly consumed by the black lava, their bodies completely destroyed. Yet, the boiling magma was somehow stabilized. "Crazy!" Nine Phoenix felt a chill run through her spine at the sight.
These Black Magicians were terrifying, or perhaps Celestial Vault's position in their hearts
was so overwhelming that they couldn't even think of resisting him. She and Chaos were unable to intervene. They could only focus on stopping Celestial Vault.
"Nine Phoenix, Chaos. I had planned to let you live for a few more days, but now... die!"
Celestial Vault snarled, his face contorting in anger. His massive aura surged, and several tentacle-like tendrils shot out rapidly, burrowing into the ground and into the bodies of the Black Magicians.
Whoosh!
The wind howled as a powerful, strange energy surged through the tendrils, flowing into Celestial Vault's body.
His aura flared violently, a terrifying and chaotic presence radiating from him. "The Overseer!" Nine Phoenix's face darkened as she saw this, her voice filled with fury, "You
buried The Overseer and World-in-Hand beneath Dark City, and now you're devouring their power with such cruelty!"
"Hmph, they're nothing but nutrients for me!" Celestial Vault sneered, his arms slightly
open. His long hair billowed as dark The Heaven power of laws coalesced in his hands, forming two black blades that slashed toward Nine Phoenix and Chaos.
The two of them were serious and did not dare to show any carelessness. They focused all
their energy on blocking the attack.
Boom!
Boom!
Two explosive crashes sounded, blood splattering in the air as they were both sent flying,
severely injured.
"Celestial Vault, you will not die a peaceful death!" Nine Phoenix gritted her teeth, suppressing her internal injuries, and charged at him again, disregarding everything. She remembered when The Overseer from Fire Phoenix City had gone out to train and
mysteriously disappeared. Now, it was clear-they had all been killed, and Celestial Vault was the one responsible.
Chaos was also furious, as there had been an Overseer close to him who had also vanished. He gathered his most powerful attack and charged toward Celestial Vault in a rage.
