Divine Emperor of Death

"Alright, start~"

*Rumble!~*

Little Calypsea looked at Stella before she looked towards the distance and saw a giant turtle undergo his heavenly tribulation.

The dark tribulation clouds formed above the turtle, spreading far and wide. She could tell that it wasn't an annihilative tribulation.

"That's a Destructive Heavenly Tribulation, one whole level lower than your own tribulation."

Stella rubbed little Calypsea's back, giggling. Calypsea raised her hand and grabbed Stella's hand firmly. Her brows furrowed, but she popped a lollipop into her mouth.

To Stella, it was obvious that Calypsea was nervous. As a spirit, she would inherently revere the heavens. Stella also heard that Calypsea almost died to her Empyrean Tribulation to go from a Spirit Attribute Source to a Spirit, so it was understandable that little Calypsea would be scared.

Andiron looked above and saw the dark tribulation clouds. Amidst the darkening skies, the arcs of lightning gathered at the center, turning into a spear of blue lightning, radiating immense pressure before it flashed, lighting up the skies.

*Bang!~*

It directly descended and smashed against his shell, crackling all over his body. However, the spot where the lightning landed didn't even have a mark, much less a dent.

Andiron didn't even blink or budge. He basked in the pressure of the destructive heavenly lightning, trying to overcome a terrifying aura with his Will alone. That was his task. After all, his body was too powerful for him to bother retaliating against it.

Besides, this was only a minor tribulation and not a major tribulation.

After two more strokes for a total of three strikes, he could enter Level Seven Immortal Emperor Beast Stage.

After all, magical beasts tend to undergo tribulation at every minor stage, which means they will undergo minor tribulation in the mid-stage and late stages.

*Bang!~*

*Bang!~*

With an interval of three seconds each, the second and third destructive heavenly lightning also fell, and Andiron didn't do anything other than bask in the wild feeling of having needles stabbed all over his skin. On the other hand, his shell was practically invulnerable.

*Bzzz!~*

The dark tribulation clouds left, and consequently, the limit on his cultivation disappeared, and he soared into the Level Seven Immortal Emperor Beast Stage!

"Haha! Nice! My turn."

Fenren laughed and turned to look at Stella. She nodded her head, causing him to summon his tribulation. It was also a Destructive Heavenly Tribulation. ℞ᴀ𐌽О𐌱ΕŜ

He endured three similar strikes with his body and then progressed to the Level Seven Immortal Emperor Beast Stage. His wolf body shone magnificently, making the realm bask in a resplendent golden-white light.

Fenren then turned to look at Soaren, who was on top of another void dust mound.

Soaren seemed to be silent, awaiting his turn.

It was unknown what he was thinking, but Fenren knew that Soaren wanted to be with his family the most. At least, he had Renfa Jadelight with him, but for Soaren, he loved his wives too much. He had already lost a loving partner back then, so he wouldn't want to experience the same thing, no matter the cost.

"Brother Soaren, it's your turn," Stella called out.

Only then did Soaren wake up from his reverie. He spread his giant wings. They were mostly golden, shimmering with a subtle sapphire tint. These wings rippled with a sapphire-gold brilliance, creating a mesmerizing effect as they fanned out.

*Szzz~*

Dark blue-gold flames soared from his body and wings. The fire danced along its feathers, seemingly burning hotter with every movement Soaren made, yet unlike the explosive flames of the Golden Crow, these flames radiated a calm, serene power.

*Rumble!~~~*

His attempt to break through brought down an Annihilative Heavenly Tribulation.

The first annihilative heavenly lightning bolt formed beneath the dark crimson tribulation clouds. Without waiting for it to come to him, he flew directly above, making the others narrow their eyes.

It could be considered an insulting act towards the heavens since everyone was reverent and only needed to endure the tribulation strikes.

The tribulation clouds didn't rumble. They didn't take it as a form of insult. The annihilative heavenly lightning bolt was unleashed, and it struck Soaren's head. Suddenly, he flipped and used his third leg to shatter the lightning bolt.

"…"

Fenren and Andiron were slightly aghast. It was unknown if the heavens understood the nuance, but Soaren was showing the middle finger to the heavens with this kind of attack. The golden crow and its species possessed three legs, so it wasn't disrespectful, but they could understand the nuance.

'He… He's venting…'

They were inwardly shocked and prayed that he doesn't needlessly raise the level of the tribulation. Not only would it increase the prowess of the tribulation, but it might also expose it. They didn't know if that was possible, considering this was only a minor tribulation.

From what they could tell, the Annihilative Heavenly Tribulation clouds didn't even cover half of a normal Annihilative Heavenly Tribulation. Therefore, they felt it shouldn't be possible.

Andiron also checked the formation's core and saw that the energy inside his separated shell was still around ninety percent. There was no need for fear of the formation breaking, but if an extraordinary Mystic Diviner somehow managed to track them down, that wouldn't be good.

*Bang!*

Soaren received another strike, but this time, he used his wing. He waved those brilliant golden wings, causing the annihilative lightning strike to shatter. Three seconds later, he received the third strike in a similar fashion, and his limiter disappeared.

He instantly soared into Level Seven Immortal Beast Stage like the others, his crow face finally radiating some smile.

'Now I'm only two levels away from saving my family…'

Soaren trembled. From now, he only needed to eat and eat a lot until he quickly reached Level Nine Immortal Emperor Beast Stage. Since he was a Grand Saint Magical Beast, the progression shouldn't be slow. He estimated that he should be able to set out in a week or two if he stuffed his mouth with extremely nutritional meat.

"Elder sister Nadia, it's your turn~" Stella placed hands over her mouth and yelled out.

In the distance, the dark tribulation clouds rumbled as they descended above a particular point. There, Nadia manifested. She looked above at her Annihilative Heavenly Tribulation, making her smirk condescendingly.

She wanted payback for what the heavens sent against her children but merely snorted, knowing she couldn't do anything against it.

Since she couldn't do anything against it, she quickly cleared it. It didn't take her much to clear her minor tribulation and enter Level Four Immortal Emperor Beast Stage!

*Bzzz!~*

Nadia breathed in heaven and earth energy as her cultivation soared. She couldn't help but bask in this feeling, as it had been a long time since she went through this kind of baptism after getting pregnant. Now, she could wave around her powers as she pleased.

'I wonder if master exited seclusion… I need to catch up to Everlight…! But… the children are waiting for me.'

Nadia disappeared from the scene and reappeared behind Stella.

"Awesome!"

Stella cheered and clapped. The first mission she was given was flawlessly progressing. Now, there was only Calypsea left here.

Calypsea flew forward to a lonesome place and swallowed something with a hint of excitement in her eyes. It was none other than the Infernal Haze Retribution Cloud Core!

*Rumble!!!~*
