Surge after surge of energy shot toward as I fought tooth skin, flesh, bone and nail to fend off the incoming destruction. With every ounce of power I had, I fought back against the bolts of destructive lightning and sent blows of my own.
It was a dance, a tragic one, full of fury, anger and wrath, but at the sa ti, struggle and resistance thed it with a dark tone of hope.
It was a fight that I was forced in, and had to take, since I've gained more than what any should ever do, and I was supposed to pay for this encounter with my life if found wanting or inadequate, and inadequate I am not.
Thus I threw in the full force of my body.
"LAW!" I called upon the teachings of the poison path, cented by a century of study and practice.
A massive surge of energy unfolded around , part of the world, yet detached from it at the sa ti, liens of the very laws that made this world, from the most basic of its essence, from the very molecules of the world itself, from its teachings and its origin spread around in a cascading net that surrounded the entirety of the black cloud.
"Domain of Delusions! Fake and Real!"
Uncanny, and foolish it may be to try and use Law and Domain against the Tribulation, it is not without rit.
The Heavens are cruel, yet rciful, they do not tolerate going against them, but encourages those who have the guts to try it, and if they succeed the heavens reward them.
And who here had ever thought to use Law against the very essence of law?
Only I have, since I'm the only bastard who dares curse the very heavens themselves for being stingy am I not?
Then why not further cent the fact that I'm the only crazy cultivator who dares use Law that was understood for rely a hundred years, against the essence and origin of law, against the Primordial Knowledge of the world itself.
Only a fool will try it, and a fool I may be, but at least a fool with guts!
The heavens imdiately roared with wanton rage as it saw my attempt at sealing it using my law, the dissipating clouds strengthened themselves more, but I felt sothing was awry, it was as if the clouds above were straining themselves to remain and punish .
As if they had a ti limitation on their existence here.
'Ah I finally understand,' I grinned as my eyes shone in a brighter light.
I clasped my hands together finishing the link of the law lines and fully erecting my domain.
Trapping the clouds in my own domain where I ruled.
For but a re couple seconds, I was able to trap the clouds. But in those two seconds my nostrils bled golden so did my eyes and ears.
The very attempt at trying to trap the heavens almost cost my sanity, as a pain akin to the blow of a hamr against my brain bombarded my mind.
Yet I struggled and struggled to trap it for even but a couple seconds.
And in the end all I could do was two seconds. But it was more than enough.
Just before I lost consciousness from the soul wrenching pain, my Domain of Delusions shattered into a million pieces. As for the Divine Tribulation, perhaps with its pride hurt at being captured and trapped for even two seconds, it ca at with its full power.
It changed its clouds to spears and swords made of black matter that seed to sap the very light of the world itself, and it all ca upon , falling toward like the snow and rock from the highest peak of a mountain, an avalanche of death that was about to crush whole.
Yet, for all to see, I grinned as I saw the incoming assault, approaching further and further.
There was no need for to defend or dodge… after all in those two seconds where I trapped the heavens themselves… I gained sothing.
***
Not too far away, the rumbling of hooves echoed and heralded the approach of a calamitous being.
Many cultivators who were watching the battle between the giant cultivator and the heavens were too stunned to react to the incoming charging bull that seed to be made of lightening incarnate.
"MOVE OUT OF THE WAY FOOL!"
A cultivator said to his friend who was in the path of the movent arts to push both of them away of their path.
"MOTHERFUC** who the fuck was tha-" before the man who was stampeding bull.
By the skin of his teeth was he saved as his friend used his movent arts to push both of them away of their path.
"MOTHERFUC** who the fuck was tha-" before the man who was about to beco paste finished his words, his savior clasped his hand tightly on his mouth shutting him down.
"You bastard, do you want to kill us both, I saved your life once, I'm not doing it again, do you know who the hell that was you cursed at?"
Angry and disturbed still, the first cultivator looked at the bull that moved away and saw the man who was driving it.
Old of age, blue of dress, and with a qi that feel suffocating to just be next to, enough to make a person drown.
"Bloody hell, that's Master Rain? What's he doing here?" he asked.
"I guess he's also interested in the disappearance of the Primordial Serpent God, damn we were too late, I suppose Master Rain will claim the loot for himself…"
"I wouldn't be that certain," the first cultivator said
Hearing his friends words, he was about to interject, but he noticed that his friend wasn't looking in the direction of Master Rain, but the path he ca from.
Hundreds of thousands, no even more, maybe in the millions, of cultivators were rushing forward, and this seed to be but the first wave…
"What the hell did we put ourselves into…"
"I'm not going to stay here to find out, with this many people here, a fight is bound to happen, I don't have the courage to stay here, nor the will to fight for the serpent anymore,"
The scavengers realized that if they don't move from here soon, they'll be crushed between a rock and a bigger rock.
aning that staying between the cultivators and that Divine tribulation ant nothing short of asking to et Yama of the Underworld.

"SHEN BAO!"
Master Rain's ears almost bled from the loud scream coming from next to him.
Yuyu's voice was full of panic and fear as she was seeing what was happening, though glad Shen Bao lives still, the fact that hundreds of thousands of weapons with might capable of destroying a planet were coming down upon him.
Even Master Rain was about to call out to Shen Bao to evade but she was faster so for the sake of dignity he decided to not shot, and that was only confird when he saw the wide, vile and repulsing yet very familiar grin plastered upon Shen Bao's face when the weapons of heaven were coming at him.
"That bastard probably has a way out," Dao Shen said snickering.
"Indeed," Master Rain replied. "That smile of his brings shiver down my spine…"
Though confused, the two won, Yuyu and Liang Yu could do nothing but ho that the words of Master Rain were true.
Because they couldn't even fathom a way to escape the incoming destruction befalling Shen Bao.
And just as the first weapon was about to hit him, it turned to fog once more dissipating upon contact not leaving a single scratch on him.
The rest of the weapons began disintegrating one by one, and that could be heard
Was the echoing and constant soul shuddering evil laugh coming from the mouth of Shen Bao.
The only one, crazy enough to laugh at the face of heavens itself…
