Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 3889 Heavenly Water Tribulation

Chapter 3889 Heavenly Water Tribulation

The black-red lightning bolt descended with a terrifying speed, its domineering power crackling through the very air. The space seemed to twist under the weight of its annihilative force.
Davis remained indifferent to this scene, his pupils reflecting the annihilative glow of the descending bolt before it pierced through the body of water. At that moment, its dragon-like face became very clear.
The light blue heavenly water abruptly churned violently as it swallowed the black-red lightning bolt, creating a maelstrom of energy. Yet, the heavenly lightning bolt continued as though it was unimpeded and struck right on Davis's head, intending to collapse his soul.
*Bang!~*
The bolt slammed into Davis's head, the sound of its impact echoing like a thunderclap inside the secluded region.
For a brief moment, everything went silent as though the world was expecting him to be obliterated.
However, Davis continued to be submerged within the heavenly water and kept his eyes open, not reacting at all to the black-red lightning arc crackling around him. It tried searing through his skull, damaging his soul sea, and collapsing his soul essence, but none of that happened.
Instead, it was unable to penetrate his skin, still trying to pierce through.
A wisp of pure white energy radiated from his forehead and engulfed the black-red lightning. The shuddering black-red annihilative heavenly lightning bolt abruptly came to a stop and found itself being refined by the wisp of life energy.
*Szzzz!~*
It abruptly split into two but was still caught within the wisp of life energy as the life energy extended and engulfed it, continuing to refine it.
The black-red lightning crackled as though it was struggling, but eventually, its struggle ceased, and it turned into a refined form of heavenly lightning.
Davis was completely unscathed. The force of the strike barely caused him to sway, his body still submerged in the heavenly water. However, his gaze flickered as he discovered something.
The heavenly water had lowered the black-red lightning's prowess by six levels, which was the same benefit as possessing thirty-three-meter tall third-tier karmic virtue. It did not lower the tribulation's prowess but lowered the attack's prowess, leaving Davis intrigued over the difference.
However, that was not all.
The heavenly water actually absorbed the annihilative energy like a sponge and directly converted the energy into aiding his body and soul.
As the remnants of the black-red lightning dissipated into the heavenly water while he threw the refined annihilative heavenly lightning into his life ring— a profound sense of comfort washed over him. The heavenly water continued to swirl gently around him, its essence mingling with his body, soothing every part of his being like it did before but with much more energy that finally had an effect on his body and soul.
He closed his eyes, allowing him to embrace this feeling of warmth.
The sensation was unlike anything he had ever experienced before. His body, which was tense from the battle, gradually began to relax as the soothing energy permeated every fiber of his body. It wasn't just his recent injuries that were being healed; he could feel even the oldest wounds, those that had lingered deep within him and were unknown to him, began to mend.
He didn't bother healing himself for more than ninety-nine point nine percent, as the efficiency of any healing technique would fall at that level. The same went for the soul, but it was better left at ninety-seven percent, or it would take an enormous amount of time to heal.
Nonetheless, not only was he being healed, but his body was also being tempered at a greater rate.
His fleshly body, which had already been tempered a lot as it surpassed the Peak-Level Immortal Emperor Stage, was being refined further, making it more resilient and powerful. The heavenly water also acted as a catalyst, enhancing his body's natural regenerative capabilities.
Still, it was just his body that was undergoing a transformation.
Within his soul sea, a profound change was occurring. Davis could feel the sea expanding, growing stronger and more refined with each passing moment. The boundaries of his soul space, once tightly constrained, began to stretch outward, creating more room for his consciousness to expand. At the same time, his soul essence also improved, replenishing his soul force and alleviating his exhaustion.
Davis felt his mind becoming clearer and sharper. The fog of fatigue that had clouded his thoughts for what he thought to be so long, even though it was just a few minutes, was being lifted, replaced by a newfound clarity. His spiritual senses, already keen, sharpened further, allowed him to perceive the world around him with greater depth and understanding. He could sense the intricacies of the tribulation's energy, the delicate balance, and how the heavenly water was harmonizing it all.
In this state of tranquility, Davis realized that the heavenly water was not just healing his physical and mental wounds—it was tempering him in every possible way. His flesh, his soul, and even his mind were all being refined and honed to perfection. It was as if the tribulation itself was offering him a gift, a reward for enduring its wrath.
Davis had never felt so loved by the heavens, but the feeling he was experiencing from the Heavenly Water Tribulation was undoubtedly warmth.
'Could it be the heavens were never aware of my presence and all it does is follow a set of rules…?'
Davis felt complicated.
He didn't think much of it and readied himself for the next strike.
However, the second strike didn't fall even as the third second passed after the first strike. He looked above and saw it dwelling in the skies, splitting into two. From two to four, it split again and continued until it reached sixteen.
"…"
Davis narrowed his brows.
When he readied himself, it wasn't about readying himself to receive them and defend but readying himself to refine them. Because they fell into the heavenly water, their prowess was ultimately dissolved, leading to a decrease in the quality of the annihilative nature.
Davis can't have that as he wanted to collect annihilative heavenly lightning to increase his own strength and comprehension, in Essence Gathering Cultivation.
He sighed and ascended, stretching his head out from the heavenly water while continuing to bask his body in the heavenly water.
'Chaos energy will make my body much stronger than heavenly water aid anyway…'
Davis felt that the Chaotic Genesis Physique created by the World Master was much more epic. All he needed was to alleviate his exhaustion. The other forms of tempering didn't matter to him as he trusted the Chaotic Genesis Physique was much more capable.
*Bang!~*
*Bang!~~*
*Ba-ba-bang!~~~*
Sixteen annihilative heavenly dragons repeatedly struck him on the head, relentlessly trying to collapse his soul sea.
Davis didn't dodge nor move, much less defend. He let all of them enter his soul sea, where he trapped them with life energy and continued to refine them. They were unable to harm him even though they were nine levels higher in prowess!
It was considerably weaker than what he experienced in his Immortal King Tribulation but still understandable, considering he didn't incur much karmic burden like before. The whole fiasco with 'Divine' had ended, and he didn't feel much of a karmic burden.
All those warnings from many seniors and choosing not to offend the heavens gave him an easier tribulation, but it was still nine levels higher.
Davis looked above and saw the final annihilative heavenly lightning dragon form beneath the clouds.
As expected, it was huge, almost three kilometers long. Almost ten times the difference between what came in his Immortal King Tribulation. The undulations it blared were oppressive, but the amount of energy it contained was as much as an Empyrean!
"…"
Davis eyed it like he was eying prey, causing him to come out of the heavenly water and subject himself to its wrath.
Despite its gargantuan size, it flashed, shrouding the region in a dark crimson glow, and descended. It struck Davis within a blink of an eye and swallowed him whole, plunging into the heavenly water. But suddenly, its face caved in and was pushed back above.
Davis's figure could be seen having grasped the ridiculously big annihilative heavenly lightning dragon as he captured it and brought it up.
"Don't go getting digested by the heavenly water…" He unleashed a huge layer of life energy to refine it.
*Whoosh!~* *Whoosh!~* *Whoosh!~*
The Heaven's Warriors were just in time to see this ridiculous scene.
An Anarchic Divergent handling the heavenly strikes as though they were nothing was heaven-flipping to comprehend. At the same time, they could see the Heavenly Water Tribulation having gathered to aid him. They had seen it a few times in their long lifetime, and each time, they would wish they could have something like that, and they finally had an opportunity to get it by killing the Divine Emperor of Death, but why the Divine Emperor of Death would have such a miracle bestowed upon him was beyond them.
Their eyes turned bloodshot over this madness. It was blasphemy.
"Kill!~"
One of them rushed towards the tribulation area.
But suddenly, he exploded in mid-air as a ray of golden light crashed into him.
"Venerable Elder Sirius!"
The Heaven's Warriors yelled in shock, unable to believe Venerable Elder Sirius used a body slam to kill a fellow Heaven's Warrior in the most barbaric way possible. However, they also saw his strange eyes and his unnatural movements, quickly understanding that he was being controlled.
"…!"
At the same time, hundreds of lightning bolts surrounded them.
Venerable Elder Tovolto descended as he surrounded them, ready to kill them all with a wave of his hand.
