Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When the Great Dark Elder, Beauty Sala, and others observed the terrifying astronomical phenomenon in the sky and felt the terrifying Energy Ripples emanating from it, they became worried.

The Golden Lion and others observed it calmly, while the Pope that rushed here with Templar Warriors and high-level Angels rejoiced in Yang Ling’s misfortune and wished for his death.

When the Pope received the Great Templar Elder’s Magic Message, he used a Teleportation Formation Spell to rush here with the Holy City’s experts. When he saw the Honorable Knights Team and Angels Corps that was nearly wiped out, he was so infuriated that he gnashed his teeth, and when he saw the destroyed Saint Peter Castle, he had almost gone crazy.

Yang Ling started crossing his tribulation suddenly without any preparations, and his actions weren’t any different than seeking death. This was why when the Pope saw this, he finally felt more at ease.

“Should I try adding oil to fire?”

The Pope looked calmly at the Three Heads of Darkness that were bustling and who didn’t mind consuming a large amount of Magical Power to set up an ancient magical formation spell to help Yang Ling cross his tribulation.

The Pope started pondering about a way to prevent Yang Ling from crossing the tribulation smoothly. He pondered over it for a moment before he took out a thick scripture from his Spatial Ring. He acted like he was reading it earnestly, while he started mumbling in silence, and his thin lips moved stealthily. He cast the Precognition Spell, which all Popes mastered.

“God said that earth would turn into mud, and green areas would turn into deserts.”

The Pope’s expression was ice-cold. The ground around the Great Wizard Altar sank slightly due to the influence of the Precognition Spell. The soil beneath the ground became softer, but it didn’t seem from the surface that it changed. Now, even if Yang Ling managed to bear the Lightning Divine Tribulation’s attack, the soft ground beneath the Great Wizard Altar wouldn’t bear it, and as long as the Great Wizard Altar fell down, the ancient magical formation spell set up meticulously by the Three Heads of Darkness would disappear, and they would have bustled in vain.

“Your Majesty the Pope, I haven’t seen you for several hundred years, yet you have only become more youthful, and your silent chanting is more pleasant sounding than songs.”

When the Pope started chanting quicker and was on the verge of finishing a whole segment of the Precognition Spell, the Sword God that observed everything coldly spoke and pulled his one-meter-long sword. As a swooshing sound echoed out, he stuck his sword on the ground, and in an instant, a formless wave spread from it far away and gave rise to a storm of dust. The Pope’s Precognition Spell was forcefully broken, and he had nearly suffered its backlash because he was caught off-guard.

If one did something vile, people would eventually find out about it!

The Pope assumed that he had done it perfectly. But even though he hid it from the Corpse Wizard King, Beauty Sala, and others that didn’t want to leave, and even though he hid it from the busy Three Heads of Darkness, he couldn’t hide it from the Sword God who possessed sharp senses and perfect sword arts.

“Hehe, you have pretty good sword techniques,” the Pope glared resentfully at the white-clothed Sword God before he closed the thick scripture. He had taken a vow inwardly that he would sacrifice a large number of believers’ souls to summon the main body of ten-winged or twelve-winged angels before seeking the Sword God and taking revenge.

“None in Tailun Continent has crossed a Divine Tribulation for the past several thousand years. I really want to see the skill and power of a person that got to cross a Lightning Divine Tribulation.” The Chief Elven Priestess standing behind the Fire God Raymond looked at Yang Ling that sat cross-legged on the Great Wizard Altar before she looked at the Pope that had something on his conscience.

The Chief Elven Priestess revealed a faint smile before she raised her black Magic Staff and muttered for a moment. She waved her hand and sprinkled a green radiance. The plants on the ground in the green radiance’s scope started growing quickly, and they quickly started intertwining together.

It turned out that the ground’s soil had already turned soft, but after the green radiance shone upon it, it became firmer and harder than a boulder.

When the Pope detected the changes of the ground and saw the smiling Sword God and Chief Elven Priestess, his expression turned gloomy. He didn’t expect that all his efforts would be wasted. But, he still didn’t dare to say anything because he had a guilty conscience and was afraid of the Fire God Raymond’s anger. He was quite frustrated!

“Fine, brother Yang Ling. What will come later will depend on you.” After the Dark Great Elder chanted the last incantation and activated the ancient magical formation spell, he observed Yang Ling and the Great Wizard Altar that was covered by a five-colored Magical Barrier. He heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

This ancient magical formation spell was a Spell passed down by the King of Darkness, and it possessed a great might. Several thousand years ago, the Three Heads of Darkness joined hands to seal the unstable Spatial Crevice with this magical formation spell.

The Lightning Divine Tribulation was quite terrifying, but the Great Dark Elder still thought that this ancient magical formation spell would be able to block most of the Lightning Divine Tribulation’s attacks, and the rest would depend upon Yang Ling’s power and skill. This magical formation spell was the greatest protective spell that the Three Heads of Darkness could use, and if it couldn’t block the Lightning Divine Tribulation, then they wouldn’t be able to do anything else.

The Dark Great Elder and others heaved a sigh of relief, while Yang Ling that was sitting cross-legged on the Great Wizard Altar became more nervous.

At first, he just wanted to refine the Soul Energy in Saint Peter Castle’s sky, and he didn’t expect that the amount of Soul Energy absorbed by him would be so tremendous. He didn’t just solidify the Soul Golden Liquid and reach the threshold for becoming a Soul Wizard, but even the Terrifying Divine Tribulation was attracted in advance due to the drastic rise of his Wizard Power.

According to his former plan, he planned to go back to the Magical Beast Territory to train in seclusion for a while after conquering Saint Peter Castle, and he would calmly await the Divine Tribulation’s arrival. He didn’t expect that he would advance into the Soul Wizard Stage and the God-Level Stage at the same time, and he also didn’t expect that he would attract the terrifying Divine Tribulation on the battlefield.

It had occurred suddenly, and he wasn’t prepared for it, but he couldn’t hide from it. He wanted to do so. Misfortunes never came singly!

When an astronomical phenomenon appeared in the sky, Yang Ling discovered that his body was restricted in a limited area. He could only move on the Great Wizard Altar and couldn’t use Teleportation Wizard Spells to escape, while he also couldn’t enter the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension to take refuge in it. The situation was more grave than he imagined!

What should be done?

When Yang Ling detected the terrifying energy atop his head and saw the sizzling serpentine lightning bolts, he whined inwardly. The Ground Protection Spell’s situation was still manageable because he could cast it once again after the recovery of his Wizard Power, but he couldn’t repair the damaged Ice-Sealing Armor in a short while.

The Ice-Sealing Armor wasn’t too crappy, and it was just that Yang Ling’s power was too low. This was why he couldn’t release this Divine Artifact’s true power.

It didn’t matter whether this was a fortune or misfortune. In any case, he couldn’t hide from it even if it was a misfortune.

Yang Ling that was caught in a dead-end, clenched his teeth and started refining the Ice-Sealing Armor. He didn’t hope to quickly repair it completely, and he just hoped to repair a little part of it so that he could get a higher assurance to face the Divine Tribulation that would befall him. In any case, using the damaged Ice-Sealing Armor would better than facing a Divine Tribulation in thin clothes.

Swoosh!

The energy whirlwind in the air became larger, and it revolved at a higher speed, while the energy gathered by it became more terrifying. Many sizzling serpentine lightning bolts flickered, while muffled thunder rolls echoed. It seemed like the whole sky was penetrated by something, and a giant crevice appeared in it.

At the beginning, the numerous soldiers and Magical Beasts didn’t want to leave the Great Wizard Altar that had Yang Ling on it, but later, they faced a stifling formless wave of pressure, and even the Corpse Wizard King, Beauty Sala, and their companions were forced to leave, let alone ordinary soldiers and low-level Magical Beasts.

The only exception to this was the Great Dark Elder and a few God-Level Experts, and as for the other, they couldn’t even approach the five-mile-radius around the Great Wizard Altar, and the Groundhogs that retreated a tad slower instantly bled from their seven orifices and lost their lives.

The Lightning Divine Tribulation’s terror was beyond everyone’s imaginations!

Sizzle!

An ear-piercing noise echoed, and a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket suddenly fell from the black clouds. As a rumbling sound echoed, it struck the Five-Colored Magical Barrier jointly made by the Three Heads of Darkness. The Lightning Divine Tribulation that built up power for a long time finally started releasing its might, and it sent a lightning bolt after another.

The bolts struck the Five-Colored Magical Barrier ceaselessly, and a bolt after another hit it. Every bolt was quicker and fiercer than the former, and they were accompanied by deafening thunder rolls that jolted the crowd’s eardrums. They felt intense pain due to it!

Crackle!

The Five-Colored Magical Barrier that was bombarded ceaselessly by lightning flickered, and its radiance became dimmer. Moreover, a great earthquake occurred, and the Great Wizard Altar swayed back and forth. If one observed the altar from a distance, it would seem like a little boat in a stormy sea, or like an oil lamp in the face of a strong wind that would be extinguished at any moment.

“Awful! The Magical Barrier would shortly crumble.”

When the Great Dark Elder discerned that the Magical Barrier was on the verge of collapse, he was shocked, and he rushed toward it with the Dark Commander and Great Dark Priestess. They hoped to use their remaining Magical Power to strengthen it and gain more time for Yang Ling. But when they took just several steps, they unexpectedly suffered the attacks of several serpentine lightning bolts, and they were nearly turned into charcoal by them.

None could approach the five-mile-radius around the Great Wizard Altar, and it wasn’t the case just for ordinary people as even God-Level Experts couldn’t easily go there.

The Five-Colored Magical Barrier on the verge of collapse blocked narrowly the first round of Lightning Divine Tribulation’s attacks in front of the nervous crowd’s gazes.

However, after a short pause, the weather changed again, and terrifying energy was condensed in the sky. After a short while, the second round of attacks started raining upon the Five-Colored Magical Barrier, and the thick serpentine lightning bolts formed a dense lightning net. As sizzling noise echoed out ceaselessly, the lightning destroyed everything in its scope that was higher than ground level, and even the most stable houses were instantly razed to the ground by it.

What should be done?

The worried Corpse Wizard King, beauty Sala, and their companions observed the devastating lightning, and they were so anxious that they ran in circles.

Elder Brent that rode the Dark Dragon King to rush here quickly, was also at his wits’ end. Even the Dark Great Elder couldn’t provide help, let alone a Low-Level Deity like Brent. He wanted to help but couldn’t do so, and the only one able to do so was a peerless expert. If an ordinary person tried to help, he would only turn the situation worse and raise the Divine Tribulation’s might.

The crowd was quite worried, while Yang Ling strived hard to keep his calm, and refined the Ice-Sealing Armor again at full speed. After the Ice-Sealing Armor absorbed a large amount of energy, its cracks started closing up, and it emitted a silvery light again. Even though he couldn’t repair it completely in a short time, he still repeated several tenths of it, and using it to face the terrifying Divine Tribulation would be better than facing it naked.

A man could surely conquer nature!

Yang Ling wore the Ice-Sealing Armor that was nearly repaired wholly and observed the lightning bolts that fell from the sky and the terrifying energy whirlwind in the air. He clenched his fist tightly and took out the remaining Life Spring’s water, Magical Beasts’ Blood Orbs, and Black Crystal Marrow in his Spatial Ring. He made all the preparations possible!

Since he reached the strange Tailun Continent in an inexplicable way, he went through many hardships in his paths, and he got through many problems. He had wandered near death’s door an unknown amount of time, and he believed that as long as he didn’t give up, he would surely find a way to surmount any crisis.
