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

The Ancient Magical Formation Spell passed down by the King of Darkness had a fully justified reputation, and even though it seemed on the verge of collapse, it still persisted and gained a whole hour for Yang Ling. After it blocked the last lightning bolt of the third round of attacks, a cracking sound echoed, and it disappeared.

Rumble!

After three rounds of lightning attacks, the black clouds in the sky started churning, and they covered the sky and the sun. They were preparing a stronger attack, and many serpentine lightning bolts streaked across the sky. Thunder rolls echoed ceaselessly, and even though the soldiers covered their ears with cotton, they still felt quite unwell due to thunder. This was why they had to retreat quickly under the command of Ashnamov.

It was the same for the Magical Beast Army, and they had to retreat quickly. The only exception to this was the Giant Ape King, beauty Sala and other few Level Surpassing Magical Beasts. As for the others, Some of them retreated into Ural Plains, while some went directly into Ural Mountain Range and observed the terrifying divine tribulation from distant mountains.

“Elder Brent, what should be done?” The flustered Dark Dragon King observed Yang Ling that was stranded in the Great Wizard Altar before he looked at the divine tribulation that became more terrifying as time passed. He could only place his hope on Elder Brent that was next to him.

“A divine tribulation is something everyone has to face upon advancement, and none can hide from it.” Brent’s expression was solemn, and he was quite worried. He let out a sigh and said, “If ordinary people intruded there, they will only attract more terrifying divine tribulation and turn the situation for the worst. The only exception to this was peerless experts, and they are the sole people able to forcefully break or block the divine tribulation at a crucial juncture.”

If Yang Ling was facing an ordinary divine tribulation, Elder Brent might have been able to help at a crucial juncture. But, he faced a lightning divine tribulation, and it was the most terrifying divine tribulation in the legends. He really couldn’t do anything about it, and even the Three Heads of Darkness were helpless in the face of it, let alone a Low-Level Deity like him.

“Sir Raymond, look over there.” The Chief Elven Priestess observed the fourth round of lightning brewing in the sky and furrowed her brows.

The Moon Priestess Sofia was a clansman she trained with meticulous care, and she was the Elf Clan’s future hope. This was why the Chief Elven Priestess didn’t mind helping Yang Ling for Sofia. But it was a pity that she was just a Mid-Level Deity and couldn’t provide help even though she wanted to do so.

“The lightning divine tribulation has nine rounds of attack, and he has just crossed three rounds for now. More powerful ones are still awaiting him,” the Fire God Raymond wore a calm expression and spoke calmly, “It’s up to Yang Ling’s power and chance whether he can safely cross the divine tribulation, and if other people try to help him forcefully, they may attract by mistake a more terrifying divine tribulation. At that time, the situation would only turn for the worse.”

At first, the Corpse Wizard King, beauty Sala, and others planned to shamelessly ask the Fire God Raymond that possessed unfathomable power to help them, but after they heard this, their heart sank, and a worried look appeared on their faces.

On the contrary, the Pope and his trusted aides that were behind him rejoiced in Yang Ling’s misfortune. The stronger the lightning divine tribulation, the more excited they were. They wished greatly that the Magical Beasts’ Lord Yang Ling would be killed by lightning.

Sizzle!

After the lightning divine tribulation built up power for a long time, it released its might once again, and it rained thick lightning bolts. Yang Ling couldn’t dodge them, and he could only rouse his whole body’s Wizard Power and use the Ground Protection Spell to block the attacks.

When the serpentine lightning bolts fell upon the yellowish halo formed by the Ground Protection Spell, a sizzling sound echoed, and many sparks flew around.

The Ground Protection Spell was quite strong, but even though it blocked the terrifying lightning for Yang Ling, the tremendous force contained in it still seeped through it and reached Yang Ling’s body. Yang Ling’s internal organs were jolted, and blood seeped out of the corners of his mouth.

The yellowish halo became dimmer, and every few lightning bolts consumed a large part of Yang Ling’s Wizard Power and Mental Energy. The halo had great consumption, and his situation was anything but reassuring.

“Would I really die here?”

When Yang Ling looked at the lighting that engulfed the sky and detected that his body’s Wizard Power flowed out quickly, he was stunned and he drank several drops of Life Spring’s water and a Crystal Marrow without the least bit of hesitation before he swallowed a Magical Beast’s Blood Orb. He was trying hard to heal his injuries and recover his exhausted Wizard Power and Mental Energy at the highest speed possible, while he also strived hard to keep the Ground Protection Spell’s halo around his body.

According to the Old Pharaoh’s memory, the God-Level Magical Beast Golden Roc possessed great power, and it could depend upon its valiant fleshly body to travel freely among a Spatial Turbulence, while its strikes could easily make spatial crevices in Planes. Its power surpassed ordinary God-Level Experts greatly, but despite this, when the roc faced the Ground Protection Spell of the mysterious old man in the Graveyard of Deities and Demons, it couldn’t inflict deadly injuries upon the man even though it used its whole power, and in the end, neither side won. It could be discerned through this how great was the power of the Ground Protection Spell.

A while ago, Yang Ling’s Ground Protection Spell crumbled after it blocked several blade strikes of the Great Templar Elder. The reason behind this wasn’t that the Ground Protection Spell was weak, and it was just Yang Ling’s power was vastly lower than the mysterious old man, and he wasn’t able to provide the Ground Protection Spell a large amount of energy to maintain it. He wasn’t able to bring out the Ground Protection Spell’s true power.

Later, Yang Ling continued consuming Life Spring’s Water, Crystal Marrow, and Magical Beasts’ Blood Orbs to supplement his consumed energy, and he strived hard to maintain the Ground Protection Spell. He blocked thousands upon thousands of lightning strikes, and he blocked three other rounds of the lightning divine tribulation’s attacks.

However, when he exhausted the Life Spring’s water, Crystal Marrow, and Magical Beasts’ Blood Orbs he had, the Ground Protection Spell’s yellowish halo became dimmer, and it finally disappeared after it blocked the last attack of the seventh round of the lightning divine tribulation.

Ah!

The Ice-Sealing Armor that wasn’t repaired completely was only able to block a single round of attacks for Yang Ling, and in the eighth round of divine tribulation’s attacks, it suffered heavy damage and went back to Yang Ling’s body. This was why the lightning directly struck the body of Yang Ling that wasn’t protected by the Ground Protection Spell and Ice-Sealing Armor.

Only a few lightning bolts stuck Yang Ling, but they still managed to split open Yang Ling’s flesh and inflict hideous injuries on him. Even the solidified Soul Golden Essence shivered, and it was almost extinguished.

“My Lord, my Lord!” When the Dark Dragon King and Giant Ape King saw that Yang Ling became drenched with blood, they roared and charged onward. But, after they took several steps, they were bombarded by the lighting that engulfed the sky, and their bodies were scorched. If Elder Brent didn’t save them in time and quickly dragged them out, they might probably have been turned into charcoal in the twinkling of an eye.

When the crowd saw a dazzling serpentine lightning bolt streaking across the sky, and engulfing Yang Ling’s head, they turned pale with fright. They couldn’t even bear to watch this sight and just closed their eyes. Even ordinary God-Level Experts couldn’t withstand this lightning without a Protective Divine Artifact, let alone Yang Ling, who still didn’t finish his advancement.

At this critical juncture, and when the crowd assumed that Yang Ling would be killed by it, the Fire God Raymond, who observed everything carefully, finally intervened. He waved his hand and released a ball of flames that engulfed Yang Ling’s body. Strangely enough, the large flames were strong enough that they were able to block the lightning bolts. Yet, Yang Ling that was within them, didn’t suffer any harm.

Sizzle!

When the lightning that engulfed the sky struck the flames, an ear-piercing sizzling sound echoed. In the end, Yang Ling managed to narrowly withstand the eighth round of divine tribulation’s attacks with the help of the Fire God Raymond. Even though Yang Ling’s body was charred and didn’t have any piece of intact skin, he still survived.

The Corpse Wizard King, beauty Sala and their companions that observed everything from a distance heaved a sigh of relief. But, when they raised their head and took a look at the ninth round of attacks brewed in the sky, they were dumbfounded.

It could be seen that a giant Energy Sphere was quickly condensed among the black clouds in the sky, and lightning encircled the sphere. The Dazzling lightning bolts seemed like poisonous snakes drilling into the sphere, and a sizzling sound echoed ceaselessly. The Energy Sphere became larger as time passed, and its shadow engulfed the whole Saint Peter Castle before it started quickly spreading to the outside of the castle.

“Awful! Retreat! Hurry up and retreat!” When the Fire God Raymond detected the terrifying Energy Ripples emanating from the Energy Sphere, his expression changed drastically, and he started retreating ahead of others.

The crowd followed him closely, but after they had just flown for a short distance, the lightning divine tribulation’s last round of attacks started, and the great serpentine lightning devoured the spectators.

The Corpse Wizard King, beauty Sala and their companions that were protected by the Fire God Raymond’s domain managed to survive this crisis. As for the Pope that reacted slower by a tad, he was struck by several bolts of lightning, and his hair stood on its end, while half of the dozen and more Templar Warrior next to the Pope were turned into charcoal by lightning.

The Energy Sphere in the sky released a thick purple lightning bolt in front of the crowd’s nervous gazes, and it fell toward Yang Ling’s head. As a cracking sound echoed, The lightning destroyed the Fire God Raymond’s Fire Magical Barrier and engulfed Yang Ling’s whole body. The lightning was too quick, and even the Fire God Raymond couldn’t save Yang Ling in time.

When the crowd turned pale with fright and assumed that Yang Ling would surely die, a surprising scene appeared.

A muffled and sonorous roar echoed from the sky, and it reached people’s souls like the Human Skin Drum’s sound. It possessed a berserk and bloodthirsty aura, and it seemed like it transmitted from the end of the world, yet it also seemed like it transmitted from the depths of the ground or from Yang Ling’s body.

Soon after, a miniature Wizard Pagoda emerged from the space between Yang Ling’s brows, and it absorbed the lightning that filled the sky. It had absorbed the lightning divine tribulation’s last attack!

“A Master Divine Weapon?”

The crowd that saw this shocking scene was dumbfounded. They didn’t expect that the terrifying divine tribulation would be absorbed so cleanly, and they couldn’t come with a better explanation for this other than Yang Ling’s body was protected by a Master Divine Weapon. At this moment, they all thought about Yang Ling’s mysterious and powerful family.

After a person crossed the divine tribulation safely, his advancement into God-Level would bring his body boundless advantages. It would remold his body and condense a Godhead. Even a lightning divine tribulation wasn’t an exception to this, and it could be seen that the black clouds in the sky assembled together and released a dazzling silvery white beam. Soon after, Yang Ling’s injuries started recovering at a high-speed noticeable by the naked eye.

Every piece of muscles and every inch of veins was strengthened greatly, while the Wizard Core started absorbing the silvery-white Divine Power, and it emitted intense Energy Ripples. As for the Soul Golden Liquid in Yang Ling’s brain, it fused perfectly and started solidifying quickly.

When the Soul Golden Liquid solidified and formed a Soul Crystal, the Great Wizard Altar beneath Yang Ling started revolving quickly, and many mysterious symbols appeared on it, while appalling roars transmitted from it. It emitted an aura that resembled the aura of an archaic ferocious beast, and that said aura spread far away.

In an instant, the Magical Beasts that retreated and the groundhogs that hide in Ural Mountain Rage, as well all myriad living beings prostrated toward Yang Ling out of instinct. Even the wheat straws that could be seen everywhere in Ural Plans bowed down. It seemed like they were affected by a formless suction force, and they emitted many Soul Ripples filled with respect.

Soul Worship!

All of the world’s living beings carried out the Soul Worship Ritual to welcome the arrival of a Soul Wizard.

After Yang Ling crossed the tribulation narrowly, he didn’t just advance into God-Level, he also advanced into the Soul Wizard Stage in one ago, and he stepped officially into the palace of a Great Soul Wizard.
