Chapter 1372 - Heart Demon Tribulation

In the Grand Alstreim City, three silhouettes suddenly appeared in the skies. Their expressions were convoluted with confusion as they looked into the distance before they turned their heads in each other"s direction, their gazes meeting with a bit of disbelief etched on their faces.

"This aura... Is that what I think it is...?" The white-robed man asked with soul transmission; his tone etched with profound disbelief.

"It can"t be..." Another man in viridian-colored robes sent a reply.

But he then shook his head, "I am not sure. Although the aura is extremely faint that only we Ninth Stage Powerhouses can sense it from this distance, it is thick with heaven and earth energy to an unprecedented level, like it is its purest form, and as far as I know, records of these mentions are always about heavenly tribulations..."

"Someone is undergoing tribulation...? Are they going to become an Immortal?"

A viridian-robed woman by the viridian-robed man"s side questioned, her expression vested with deep interest and awe.

"I don"t think so, Zanna." The viridian-robed man shook his head, "For a heavenly tribulation that descends on a peak-level ninth stage powerhouse, this heavenly tribulation sure is so weak that probably even a random guard in this Grand Alstreim City would be able to receive it with ease."

"Huh...? But Mival, that"s a heavenly tribulation-"

"It"s probably someone that has a unique physique."

"...!?"

Zanna became dumbfounded as she instantly retorted, but she was interrupted by Mival Silverwind, who swiftly responded.

"It works like that...?"

Zanna Silverwind blinked, causing Mival Silverwind to chuckle, "How would I know what the heavens think? If the heavenly laws deemed us unworthy, then we are unworthy. The heavens only acknowledge special people..."

"Hmph! Whoever thinks that they"re so great with a unique physique that they can show off, I"m going to teach them a lesson!"

Zanna barred her fangs as she opened her charming mouth. However, a hand fell on her shoulders, not letting her move.

"Are you crazy? Dian and I don"t even bother to near that area because there"s a valid reason for it. It is possible that the heavens might include us in the heavenly tribulation, thinking that we are defending the one who is undergoing the heavenly tribulation."

"At that time, the heavenly tribulation wouldn"t be weak anymore but would become something terrifying, something we might not be able to handle even if we give it our all..."

"I know...!" Zanna Silverwind pouted upon being criticized, "I"m not that stupid. I"m thinking about dealing with that brat with the unique physique later on after the heavenly tribulation ends. Even though my species may have regressed to King Rank before I managed to recover with your help, I still possess extremely vague memories about heavenly tribulations. Even I might have to face one upon entering the next stage..."

"Immortal Stage, huh..." Mival Silverwind sighed on hearing his second wife"s words, "Perhaps, that"s something that we would never be able to reach in this life, so don"t get your hopes up needlessly."

"Hmph! You"re needlessly realistic for someone who moved heaven and earth to find a method to revive Alia while trying to cheat the heavens...!"

"Shh...! Stop it. What would happen if the heavens heard it...?" Mival Silverwind gulped as he looked above, and sensing that nothing had changed, he sighed in relief.

Zanna Silverwind felt remorse that she might"ve messed up, but looking at the indifferent heavens that did not punish Mival, she merely harrumphed once again.

When the heavens were called into question by the people of the cultivation world, no matter it may be the ones who are stagnating in poverty or reveling in wealth, everything became superst.i.tious! That was the fear they felt for the unknown!

They all knew that they might be s.u.c.k.e.d in the vortex of the heavenly tribulation, forced to undergo it along with the person who was responsible for it. They didn"t know the exact range that they needed to keep off the heavenly tribulation from being attracted to them, so they remained cautious and stayed here in the Grand Alstreim City, thousands of kilometers away.

The way they thought, it wouldn"t be too late to head there to see what happened after the heavenly tribulation has subsided. Until then, they were aware that they couldn"t afford to be careless.

However, their expressions all suddenly froze.

"What-!?"

Mival Silverwind narrowed his eyes and had his mouth agape as he felt the aura of the heavenly suddenly undergo a ma.s.sive change. Ancestor Dian Alstreim"s expression was also solemn as he sensed the aura becoming enormous and tremendous that it filled the skies in the distance for the moment.

Even though it seemed like the others weren"t able to sense it, he could swear that it burst our for a moment as if heralding an onslaught of immense destruction. It had his arms and legs tremble from this distance, instinctively warning him that he should not go near it even if he had that thought before. It was the same for Mival Silverwind and Zanna Silverwind, where the latter had even begun having second thoughts on heading towards that area after the heavenly tribulation ended.

At this moment, the tiny dot that was crackling with a bit of thunderous illumination was now enlarging, causing them to widen their eyes even more.

"Someone has intruded on the heavenly tribulation...!"

They both shouted, their gazes falling on each other before they nodded their heads and rushed towards the sight of the heavenly tribulation.

The fact that it might be just a treasure was instantly ousted by them since it felt like the heavenly tribulation reacted to outside interference.

The only thing that they felt fortunate about was that the people in the Grand Alstreim City did not feel a thing. Even the Eighth Stage Experts failed to sense it due to the distance between them. Otherwise, the Grand Alstreim City might be full of buzz now.

Right now, there was already a scapegoat who seemed to have taken on the heavenly tribulation in someone else"s stead. But thanks to that scapegoat, they would now be able to measure the distance they should maintain to witness the heavenly tribulation occur and see what this was truly about.

However, Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldn"t help but feel worried as he had a bad feeling about this situation.

Why was this happening in his territory?

Feeling insatiable curiosity well over him, he opened and closed his eyes as his purple eyes shone with the glint of an eye technique, fueled with determination even if he might receive an immense injury in the process. It made him instantly look towards thousands of kilometers into the distance when he caught sight of a faint purple-robed silhouette, looking towards the heavens with a rebellious and courageous gaze.

"Da-Davis...!?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim received a mental hit as he visibly looked like he tripped from something while flying in the empty skies!

======

A few minutes ago, while Davis was staring at the heavenly tribulation with battle intent blazing from him, the tribulation clouds were also crackling with deadly tribulation lightning bolts as if responding to his intent.

He gritted his teeth and was about to brazenly provoke it with swear words to target him instead of Tia Alstreim when he abruptly heard her cry again.

"Big brother... please... please do not take my mother away... Mother is not yours but me and my father"s..."

Davis looked as if tribulation lightning had struck him even before the tribulation lightning had struck him! He slowly turned to look at his little aunt, wondering what kind of an evil role had he taken in the form of Heart Demon.

Her tone was one of pleading, yet he could sense anger and hatred seething in it.

"Hey, little aunt! I"m trying to help you here by helping you survive this heavenly tribulation, but you"re making me the villain in your delusional world!?"

Davis"s expression was torn between exasperation and laughter. However, he smiled, looking ready to wake her up from her nightmare because he could not bear to see her expression warp in pain while tears continued to fall from her eyes.

"If it is like this... I"ll just have to try helping her before the lightning bolts could fall on us..."

His mind quickly ran with numerous simulations.

He knew that the death-like energy induced nightmares while the life-like energy caused the people he was using to feel comfortable as well as have their worries and troubles healed in their mind and heart, perhaps even the soul.

Davis reached out his hands towards Tia Alstreim"s forehead as his white light emerged out with a greyish tint. Obviously, he could not use Fallen Heaven"s, so he used the inferior version of life-like laws he had comprehended.

His expression turned into one of a heartened smile as he saw Tia Alstreim"s eyelids that were severely trembling calm down a little, seemingly becoming comforted under the white-greyish light"s illumination.

"Excellent, it seems to be aiding her in her Heart Demon Tribulation...!"

Davis inwardly screamed in elation when suddenly his expression changed.

*Thump!~*

He heard the sound of his heartbeat amplified thousands of times in his head before his vision faded away, replaced with something else.

Davis blinked. He could not remember why he was back in his room again. However, the sight in front of him caused his heart to sink.

Green hair adorned the shoulders of beauty as it fell to her waist like a waterfall. She possessed a gentle expression on her face, content and full of love.

His sapphire eyes reflected the deepest love of his life, but she was not alone. She was with another man with vague features he could not differentiate, holding hands with him as she looked affectionate with him.

Davis"s eyes were wide as his mind reeled in confusion.

"Davis, I am not happy with you anymore. You take women as you like, not really loving me in truth, if I may dare to say. However, this man loves me the way you did once, and I could really feel that I love him more than I loved you..."

Evelynn"s lips curved into a heartened smile as she pushed her big bosoms towards the man while a sleazy smile emerged on the man"s vague face.

"!!!"

Davis"s eyes turned bloodshot as his lips twisted with rage. However, a moment later, he blinked before he lowered his head.

"Sigh... I admit that this is one of my greatest fears, but it is too bad that I am already convinced that my Evelynn would choose death over someone else who is not me..."

Davis looked at Evelynn with a heartened smile as he chuckled.

"Break!~"

The image of Evelynn holding hands with another man shattered in his eyes as the Tia Alstreim became visible. He seemed to be lying beside her, his hand that was healing laying on her forehead.

His perception instantly garnered that only a few seconds had pa.s.sed by, judging from the rubbish that seemed to head in a straight line from the wind generated by the heavenly tribulation.

"For a Heart Demon Tribulation, that was rather weak... Hahaha!"

Davis laughed out loud as he threw his head to the heavens, but his gaze was rather not good as he seemed to be completely p.i.s.sed off. He stood up, looking at the thirty-meter wide radius tribulation clouds rapidly expanding. It was already a fifty-meter-wide radius tribulation cloud, but it was still growing as if it were provoked.

However, at this moment, Davis felt no fear but just pure rage against the heavens for showing him something like that. He silently floated towards the skies, his stable body seemingly indicating the calm before the storm as it rose towards the overwhelming might of the heavens!

In the end, lightning crackled as the tribulations clouds grew to a ma.s.sive eighty-meter wide radius heavenly tribulation! At the same time, Davis noticed three figures nearing here from a distance. He turned to look towards them as his eyes flashed.

"Ancestor Dian and the Silverwinds! You three came at a good timing! I"m a bit busy with this heavenly tribulation now, so take care of the people who seemed to have already sensed the heavenly tribulation from the nearby areas from interrupting my battle of revenge!"

The three of them, who were still hundreds of kilometers away, were shocked by his booming yet nonchalant voice as they stopped in place! However, by the end of the sentence, they could tell that Davis was incredibly mad for some reason!
