The blood-fiend aura hanging in the air was incredibly thick. Evan Chu himself hadn’t expected that unleashing the Blood Bead’s power would create such a phenomenon—he stared straight up at the tribulation clouds swirling overhead.
The tribulation clouds, originally pitch-black, suddenly turned gold. This bizarre sight was a first for him, but his gut told him that the tribulation lightning born from these golden clouds would be even more terrifying.
Evan Chu took a deep breath, just about to check the condition of the Blood Bead inside his body, when a middle-aged man’s voice echoed in his mind: “Senior brother, what the hell did you just do? This blood-fiend aura is so intense it’s going to massively affect your tribulation. The final Heaven’s Punishment might be several times—or even dozens of times—stronger than normal.
Now that golden tribulation clouds have appeared, I’m powerless to help. This is a tribulation lightning even God-Kings would struggle to survive. If you keep using attacks saturated with blood-fiend aura, you might end up in a state of utter annihilation.”
Evan was completely stunned. He hadn’t expected things to turn out like this—he’d thought the last tribulation lightning would be easy to handle, but now it looked almost impossible. If he couldn’t use the Blood Bead’s power, then he basically had no energy left to fight. For a moment, he was at a total loss.
The golden tribulation clouds overhead began spinning as well, and Evan was certain this tribulation lightning would be a gold-element attack. Gold-element lightning was famous for being unstoppable—it could easily reduce him to ashes.
He couldn’t just sit there and wait for death—he had to find a way to survive. He was carrying a critical mission on his shoulders. If he really died here, then Shadow and Goldwing would die with him too, and that was something he absolutely couldn’t accept.
If he could do anything right now, it would be to give Macy Mei a proper status. That little fox girl had followed him all the way from the lower world to the Immortal Realm, silently giving so much for him. But he’d kept her at a distance because he was always too busy. Now, facing God-Tribulation, even if he had the heart, there was nothing he could do—he could only hope that after ascending to the God Realm, he’d finally have the chance to make her his, fair and square.
Shaking off those thoughts, Evan managed a wry smile. “Why am I having these feelings at a time like this? Is it because I subconsciously think I won’t survive this tribulation, so all my unresolved emotions are bubbling up?”
Then Evan shook his head and said, “No way am I giving up. I will get through this God-Tribulation—no matter how strong this final tribulation lightning is, I’m going to survive it!”
A boundless surge of conviction welled up in his heart. His blood and qi churned restlessly inside—he felt like it was do or die.
Meanwhile, Yvonne Xuan and the others in the distance were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, staring nervously at the sky. “What kind of tribulation lightning is this? Why have the tribulation clouds turned gold? I’m really worried Evan won’t make it through this,” Yvonne said.
“These must be gold-element tribulation clouds. Now that they’re completely golden, they’re way more dangerous than the black ones. But don’t lose heart—we have to believe in Evan. He’s the most brilliant genius with a huge mission on his shoulders. There’s no way he won’t ascend.” Lynn Ling said.
Everyone knew she was just putting on a brave face—inside, she was just as worried as the rest. Even though Evan had shown all kinds of shocking talent and strength, this terrifying God-Tribulation still made them fear for him.
Evan checked his internal condition and found that his Chaos Immortal Liquid was almost depleted. But in one corner of his dantian, he saw that single drop of God’s Blood.
All his worries vanished in an instant. If he could just awaken the power of that God’s Blood, he’d be able to survive this final tribulation lightning. The key now was how to trigger it.
Evan tried to touch the God’s Blood with his divine sense, but it was blocked by an invisible force—no matter what he did, he couldn’t reach it. He was getting more and more frustrated.
Time was running out. If he couldn’t awaken the power of the God’s Blood, he was dead for sure. “If you really are Lord Frostbane’s God’s Blood flowing in my veins, then please help me survive this last tribulation lightning—I have a mission I need to finish.”
With no other choice, Evan spoke those words aloud. To his shock, the drop of God’s Blood in his dantian actually trembled, as if it could hear him. It finally responded.
Evan’s heart skipped a beat. If this God’s Blood really could unleash its power, it would be a miracle. Right now, he was completely focused on what was happening inside his body—he’d almost forgotten about the tribulation clouds overhead.
Just as Evan had hoped, the God’s Blood began to emit a faint golden glow. A surge of powerful energy flooded his dantian—this was Divine Power, the first time Evan truly possessed it.
In an instant, he felt his whole body filled with strength. Evan realized the Divine Power in his dantian was even stronger than the energy from the Blood Bead. He saw hope—he saw a miracle.
At that moment, Skyflight Terrace below began to shake violently. Golden runes appeared in midair, and the aura of the Primordial Fiend surfaced, as if responding to the Divine Power inside Evan.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot down from the tribulation clouds and struck Skyflight Terrace. The golden runes flared brilliantly, wrapping the lightning in their light. Then a surge of energy shot into the terrace, and the Primordial Fiend’s aura gradually faded away.
Evan was surprised that the lightning hadn’t struck him. Maybe it wasn’t tribulation lightning at all—maybe the appearance of the Primordial Fiend’s aura had triggered a reaction from the clouds. And that reaction might have come from the mysterious middle-aged man.
He didn’t have time to dwell on it, because the tribulation clouds overhead were spinning faster than ever. The enormous golden lightning bolt was now visible, ready to fall at any moment.
Evan took a deep breath and summoned his Divine Power. He really wanted to unleash his left-hand attack—but at such a life-or-death moment, he hesitated. In the end, he prepared to use Ninefold Divine-Dragon Metamorphosis and the Unicorn Arm.
Finally, the tribulation lightning struck—a golden bolt more than ten meters thick. The whole sky trembled, and the shockwave could be felt across the entire Immortal Realm.
As the golden lightning appeared, the entire sky blazed with golden light—ten suns couldn’t compare. No one could keep their eyes open.
Yvonne Xuan and her group felt despair as the golden lightning descended. Even if Evan was the strongest, there was no way he could survive this. They didn’t hesitate—they all rushed toward him.
Evan’s whole body radiated golden light as he unleashed Ninefold Divine-Dragon Metamorphosis. Whether he could survive this last lightning bolt would depend on this strike…
