Chapter 2093: Subduing It

The skies rumbled, and the third, fourth and fifth heavenly lightning fell on Davis subsequently in fixed intervals, causing him to shudder as he constantly purified the strands of lightning and stored them behind his back.

*Rumble!~*

With each refinement of the heavenly lightning strands that repeatedly crashed down, the heavenly tribulation cloud monstrously rumbled as they sensed their attacks being treated as delicacies to be stored.

“Hehe, go on… give me more…”

Davis greedily laughed.

He could feel its intense rage that continuously warned him not to be so disrespectful and rebellious against the heavens, and since it was a Destructive Heavenly Tribulation, it kept getting stronger than a normal Heavenly Tribulation would.

The fifth lightning strike was already at the very peak of the seventh level of the Ninth Stage. Therefore, Davis was sure that the next heavenly lightning bolt would surely be four levels higher. However, he didn’t look one bit afraid but appeared even greedier, having learned or rather awakened to the joy of plundering from the heavens and watching it bark in fury by itself while being bound by rules like a dog that was leashed.

‘The heavenly tribulation clouds could only unleash its lightning within its set rules… and as long as I can see through its next few moves, it’s far easier to get around it…’

Davis deviously thought.

At the same time, there was a figure bathing in sunlight in the distance, outside the domain of the heavenly tribulation. There was shock visible in their eyes as they watched the actions occurring underneath the heavenly tribulation.

If this person knew what Davis was thinking, they would be astonished, even impressed to a respectful extent. However, that daring expression of Davis’s said many things to that person, really making them amazed as not many would even think of rebelling against the heavens, which is synonymous with suicide, so the man underneath the tribulation clouds while holding a pill as a bait to plunder from the heavens was akin to a one of a kind, crazy madman.

*Bang!~*

Davis received the sixth bolt of heavenly right on his palm that held the Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill. The tribulation lightning started to wreak intense havoc the moment it fell, but with life energy leaping like a predator and engulfing it, the tribulation lightning had no way to cause much damage within that brief moment.

Moreover, even though the tribulation clouds seemed to understand his devious intent and became enraged, it didn’t seem like it raised its powers that it was able to obliterate him in an instant. It was just as Davis thought.

At this moment, everything was moving according to his speculation as the heavenly tribulation lightning was finding it unable to harm him or its original target, the Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill.

It was truly restricted by its own rules.

*Boom!~*

The moment the next three seconds elapsed, heavenly lightning fell.

It was already fifty meters wide, condensing into a three-meter long bolt of heavenly lightning, transforming into a shape that looked like a curved arrow or a slithering serpent that shot straight down. It brought with it an immense amount of intimidating pressure that would turn a hegemon of the Fifty-Two Territories into dust, but with a strike of Davis’s hand covered in life energy, he defended against it and looked so composed.

However, doing so destroyed about ten percent of the heavenly lightning strand while the remaining fell on his palm and rampaged, but as usual, it was quickly subdued by Davis.

However, there was also a certain problem as the tamed heavenly tribulation lightning behind him was exhibiting instability even though it was kept suppressed, perhaps because the heavenly tribulation was putting more pressure on it as though it was recalling them to attack them.

Davis realized that it wasn’t optimal to keep the tamed heavenly lightning strands like that as he was wasting more energy and that it was a better option to refine them instead, but he didn’t have the time nor the energy to compress and condense heavenly tribulation lightning as that kind of speed was something only Fallen Heaven was capable of.

Moreover, there was Eldia with him, but he was positive that she would be unable to help herself and devour these tamed strands of heavenly lightning tribulation as she was practically drooling at the moment, not to mention that he was also afraid that she couldn’t handle it.

*Bang!~* *Bang!~*

The seventh and eighth heavenly lightning bolts fell in succession, causing Davis to shudder as a forced smile appeared on his face, his face slightly possessing a hint of unhealthy rosiness.

‘It almost got me…’

Davis didn’t think that the eighth strike would already reach the peak of the eighth level of the Ninth Stage so quickly. If anything, he thought it would be the ninth strike to reach that level, but at this rate, the ninth strike would be at the ninth level of the Ninth Stage!

Defending against it absolutely isn’t a problem but having to subdue it was as his life energy had to act as a cushion first to withstand the initial blow of the heavenly lightning was a tedious process. Therefore, in that time, if the lightning itself was powerful enough, it could pierce through his cushion like it was piercing through tofu, and that’s why Davis was almost injured, finding his lung almost damaged.

“But, the last strike won’t go as you wished…”

Davis mockingly chuckled at the tribulation clouds, angering it more. His hands didn’t change auras at all as he kept his death energy at bay, not using it. He was still of the mind of using life energy and, to that end, completely unleashed his prowess, not holding back the slightest while his soul force expenditure had also become vast, quickly depleting from his soul sea.

*Bang!~*

The hundred-meter-wide tribulation lightning condensed into a nine-meter tall dragon, having two threatening eyes and four sharp yet dazzling legs as it crashed down from the skies, bringing an immense destructive force along with it.

“Bring it on!”

*Bang!!!~*

Davis roared as he raised his two hands and struck the heavenly lightning dragon, causing a massive quake to materialize in space. But as expected, the space here was temporarily stabilized by the tribulation clouds, disallowing it to break. Even then, the intense pressure caused space itself to rumble heavily, bringing cracks to Davis’s skin as he bled ever so lightly before it became patched up by his surging healing prowess.

He held the dragon at bay, his life energy engulfing it as though it was devouring it.

‘Marvelous… even the laws of this world aren’t reacting…! Do the heavens also suppress them!?’

Davis knew that both his life energy and the heavenly tribulation lightning had reached the ninth level of the Ninth Stage, meaning that they had already reached the immortal level, which should display a rejection reaction from the world as he experienced last time while battling Myria, but now, there was nothing of that sort, causing him to quickly change his mind.

“Emperor Sigil!”

Davis yelled atop his lungs, quickly bursting forth with a renewed and immense amount of soul force that transformed into life energy and engulfed the lightning dragon beast.

*Aoooo!~*

The heavenly lightning dragon visibly roared at Davis, causing his heart to skip a beat. However, it regressed into a big strand of heavenly lightning and began to be tamed under his usage of Life Laws. He no longer cared about it and used his full force to refine them. He also brought the heavenly tribulation lightning strands he had already gathered and started to refine them together.

Back then, he had collected only a minute strand of the heavenly tribulation lightning but now, he possessed a whole pond of it stretching four-meter cube.

*Rumble!~*

The tribulation clouds thunderously echoed in rage. However, it was as Davis expected. Their astral bodies that descended from the heavens to destroy the pill were leaving after unleashing the ninth strike.

‘Hurry up… before the tribulation clouds completely leave…’

Davis felt a sense of urgency as he refined the heavenly tribulation lightning because after the tribulation clouds leave, the space would no longer remain stabilized to this degree, nor would he be able to refine the heavenly lightning because they might possibly be engulfed within the cracks for their extreme power, especially the strand that came from the heavenly lightning dragon.

He had to quickly refine and stabilize it as quickly as possible so that it doesn’t break the space from unwittingly unleashing its energy!

Every time the tribulation clouds left, Davis would feel happy, but now, he almost felt like opening his mouth and asking it to stay.

“Fuck! Where are you going!? Get your fuming ass over here!” Instead, what came out of his mouth was a bunch of curse words.

*Rumble!~*

The tribulation clouds thundered, its resounding voice echoing throughout the region, even momentarily stopping. However, it only stopped for a moment before continuing to disperse, causing Davis’s eyes to become bloodshot, his focus and concentration in using life energy becoming significantly higher.

Even the Solitary Soul Avatar that hadn’t intervened all this time quickly sprung and began to unleash vast life energy.

Three-meter cube… two-meter cube… a meter cube and even smaller before the tribulation clouds finally disappeared, restoring sunlight back to the desert lands.

The four-meter cube drastically became smaller in this brief moment, finally becoming six strands of pitiful-looking blue lightning. However, the power and purity they possessed within them were unequivocally greater than anything that Davis had seen, especially the very first strand that was a level higher than the others, containing the very essence of that heavenly lightning dragon that roared at him as though it came to life!
