Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 2880  Encountering The Immortal King Tribulation

A streak of black-silver lightning flashed past many buildings, ricocheting and bouncing off many obstacles before it finally streaked into the skies.

*Boom!~* *Boom!~* *Boom!~*

The buildings below collapsed like a breeze blew them away, but if one squinted their eyes until they probably manifested some special eyes, they would be able to see nine tiny dragons streaking through the air, gnawing at everything in their wake.

"That's right. Scram, you bastards! Don't stay to look at what's going on lest you be devoured!"

Davis rushed into the distance, looking for another city as his gaze moved left and right.

Due to the thick heavenly tribulation atmosphere, he was unable to find people properly, but by looking at the pathways and other general clues, he was able to find his way into another city.

"Ahaha! Fire Phoenix Clan, your death is near!" Run! Run for your lives!"

"Who!?"

With a burst of crazy laughter, Davis shot into the city, followed by the nine lightning dragons that suddenly split into two again, increasing their speed even more as they turned into eighteen tinier dragons that rushed at him with a blaring stench for his death.

However, tiny was just relative. They were still thick as a whole leg of a human!

Davis broke in through a window of a palace, breaking through the empty room as he broke past the door and punched through the walls, flying his way out. But when he had just created a hole, those eighteen dragons combined their might to unleash a fatal technique as their eighteen lightning strands connected with each other.

*Boom!~*

The building shattered like it was crushed underneath thousands of blades vibrating through the cracks.

No matter where he crossed, the fate of the structures was the same. They tumbled down like a pack of cards that had been placed on top of each other. Only the structures made from Immortal Emperor Grade ores were able to survive, but even then, the lives that were unfortunately caught in the countless explosions occurring inside the building didn't survive.

"Ahhh!~"

Immortal cultivators were screaming at the top of their lungs and rushed far away as they could from the sparkling menace. Wherever that black-silver spark went, destruction ensued, collapsing even the toughest and the most durable of defensive formations.

These formations imploded as though they were met with their nemesis, alarming the immortals that they came to know that it was useless to block this unknown menace even through defensive formations. Even formations devised for heavenly tribulations simply didn't seem to hold a candle to this tribulation, imploding the moment the source of calamity came near it, causing immense damage to the surroundings.

Abruptly, the eighteen streaks of black-red lightning dragons split again, turning into thirty-two as they quickly surrounded Davis.

*Boom!~*

However, Davis's foot burst with dark crimson flames as it exploded, giving him an incredible boost that accelerated him high into the skies instantly, causing him to directly leave the city. The explosive force of Zestria's movement technique but using heavenly flames was so powerful that it directly allowed him to leave the heavenly lightning strikes in the dust.

Even the city-wide defensive formation that could've trapped him was of no use, completely breaking down in his presence, or rather, the Annihilative Immortal King Tribulation's presence.

'Fuck…! These things are relentless…!'

Davis had just reached the skies while looking at the dark clouds looming with more danger. However, he turned to look back, seeing the three initial lightning strikes that were first launched from the tribulations haunting him to death as they grew faster and stronger with each split.

'No, they didn't grow stronger, but they keep growing in quantity, which makes their overall prowess increase...' ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

He clenched his teeth in annoyance, knowing that the Immortal King Tribulation consisted of three heavenly lightning strikes and nine heavenly wind strikes.

However, his three heavenly lightning strikes were sentient! They were out to kill him even if he successfully dodged and defended against them.

Heck, they split even when he struck one at the very beginning.

After all, when he struck that very first heavenly black-red lightning, it split into two, so now, he was just dodging them, but as time passed, they continued to grow in numbers, leaving him feeling restless. He thought he could use this to his advantage as he led them around and destroyed the Fire Phoenix Clan's cities while waiting for the Fire Phoenix Clan's elders to appear, but it seemed that they were taking their own sweet time.

However, Davis was so focused on dodging that he felt like a long time had passed when only three minutes had passed.

Due to this, he already made the decision to proceed further with his Annihilative Immortal King Tribulation, intending to destroy these sentient black-red lightning dragons once and for all.

"Fine, fine. It's been a while since you gave me a massage-"

Davis was about to say grandson but decided against aggravating it any further, but his words seemed to have some effect as the illusory eyes of the black-red lightning dragons flickered as they surrounded him, conjoining their forces to entrap him while another group swirled around him before rushing towards him.

'Fascinating… if it's an obstacle, they force through it and destroy everything in their path, but if they're against me, the tribulation taker, they restrain themselves to one group, coming at me in order…?'

He wondered what kind of rule they were following. With each tribulation, it seemed to be different, especially if it concerned race or karmic nature. He wanted to learn more but with as any tribulation…

*Bang!~*

Death and life energy surged as Davis brought out the Spear of Damnation with his soul force and struck, cutting the heavenly specter apart as though he pierced through a tofu before causing it to fade away. However, the red-lightning dragons were plenty abuzz, each packing an extraordinary might that could even end the life of a Mid Stage Immortal King.

Davis didn't let his guard down, instead smiling as he came to know that thirty-two splits were their limit as the heavenly specter he cut down just now wasn't splitting again.

However, he didn't let the heavenly lightning essence disperse, capturing it with his life energy.

In his other hand, a black-white spear thrummed with a mystical aura.

"Oh? Are you sentient wills afraid of reincarnation energy even when you are of heavenly nature…?"
