Chapter 1595: Heavenly Tribulation Body
Perhaps, already expecting things to get out of hand, Orion, the 6th Paragon Incarnation, chose to take things from Planet Caelmir to King Alric’s fractured personal world, the same place he helped his grandma reform her foundation.
The plan was to cultivate the fourth form of the Heaven-Defying Body. However, based on the materials he would be using, he knew things would get out of hand real quick.
So, going there was the right thing to do.
The moment he sat down, he retrieved all three items and, as if he could not wait to eat them, he tossed the first into his mouth. It dissolved, filling his body with so much power.
Klaus didn’t know what would happen. However, one thing is true, he knew he was about to experience the true power of the Heaven-Defying Body from here on out.
After consuming the first item, he moved on to the next and repeated the process. This time, a powerful pressure erupted from his body the moment he consumed the item.
In the distance, the people watching all felt a powerful, defiant energy wash over them. They recognised that presence because, after taking the Star Monarch’s blood, they felt it too.
But while they had the power to face the heavens, Klaus’s own seemed to have the power to suppress them. It was as if he were transcending the stage where the heavens could no longer challenge him.
Of course, just as they felt the defiant pressure, the heavens also did.
Orion had already made them aware that he and the heavens would not see eye to eye on him cultivating the Heaven-Defying Body. However, since that was what he had to do, he was also prepared to face them.
So, the moment his aura began to change, the heavens also began to manifest in the fractured world.
“Looks like they are here,” Hunter said, his arms crossed over his chest. After being a True Supreme-stage cultivator, he seemed to have gained some confidence he never knew possible.
Of course, his race had also bee an Asura Demon, a variant of the true Asura race. His bloodline had also mutated and transcended to the Celestial Grade, being the Obsidian Blood Asura Demon.
That, however, had added even more power to his already monstrous strength.
So while perhaps in the past he would have worried for Klaus’s life, today, he seemed a bit relaxed, and the same could be said for Lady Elysia, Klaus’s mother.
She had also bee very powerful, to the point that neither of them knew just how much stronger she had bee. However, like Hunter, she also seemed relaxed.
Everyone’s expression was relaxed…
A few minutes into it, Orion consumed the last item…
“BOOOOOOM”
A terrifying sensation exploded from his body, and at the same time, the heavens also shook, and lightning bolts descended on Orion. His body was swallowed by the chaos, and a powerful pressure fell upon everyone.
However, with the aura of defiance now oozing from them, they remained calm, almost as if the heavens weren’t bearing down on them.
Orion smirked when the heavens attacked. It was because what he needed was being given to him, and that alone was just too cute…
As he remained under the unholy baptism of the heavenly tribulation, Orion’s body automatically absorbed the tribulation runes.
It was as if the heavens wanted him to succeed, and so they were showering him with the help he needed.
“Ah, bunch of idiots,” Klaus muttered, seated on the balcony of his special mini-mansion in the academy. He knew that the heavens, which were supposed to be just and impartial, no longer had any hold over the universe at the moment.
They had been taken over. As a result, they would do just about anything to ensure the Paragon never reached the peak.
But because of their bias, they failed to see that the more lightning rained down on him, the stronger he became. Klaus merely smirked, leaned against the wall, and started planning his mission to the Elven Galaxy.
He would be leaving in five days. Once that was handled, he would plan his other mission. But for now, he intended to focus on that mission and perhaps find something more fun to do afterwards.
A day went by, and the heavens only seemed to grow more furious. However, their fury was Klaus’s happiness. His progress had already reached 87% and was still climbing.
A few hours later, perhaps noticing that the person they were trying to kill didn’t seem bothered, they pulled back, or at least tried to.
Just before the lightning could vanish, Orion gestured upward, and a sword burst out from the ground and attacked the tribulation cloud.
This infuriated them even more, and they responded by unleashing another barrage of lightning. All Orion could do was smile.
He was swallowed by the unholy rage of the lightning once again, and this time, a feeling of immense fury could be sensed within every bolt.
Orion knew they had bee furious. However, just before they could get ahead of themselves, the progress reached the 100% mark, and a powerful explosion erupted from Orion’s body.
At the same time, his incarnations far away experienced the same thing. Klaus, who had been relaxed, summoned the Demon Bead and vanished inside. Just as he did, his body was cocooned within a red shell.
The rest of his incarnations experienced the same transformation.
A day later, the cocoons cracked open, and they emerged. Visibly, Hunter and the others could tell that something profound had changed about Orion, something that would make him even more monstrous in their eyes.
Unbeknownst to them, even Klaus was more shocked than they were.
The message before him wasn’t particularly long, but it was enough to send his mind spinning.
[Heavenly Tribulation Body]
[Rank: Primordial]
[Description:
– You are immune to Heavenly Tribulations, and as such, you will never experience a heavenly tribulation ever again.
– You can directly absorb tribulation runes without having to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation.
– Your presence inside a heavenly tribulation will render the tribulation 60% weaker.]
All of Klaus’s incarnations were left stunned, unsure of what to say or even believe. It was as if they were staring at something that wasn’t meant to happen.
From what he knew, upon reaching the God Stage, he would face all kinds of obstacles from the heavens. These obstacles weren’t there to help him but rather to drag him down.
Klaus knew that was why all his incarnations had only reached the Demigod Stage. The final step was perilous, so none of them dared take it.
But if what he was reading now was indeed true, then he had absolutely nothing to worry about. In fact, considering he had spent nine incarnations preparing for a single tribulation, he became sceptical.
However, Icon’s words made him beam with joy.
[Congratulations, Master. It appears all the preparations you are making to go against the heavens have been resolved by the Heaven-Defying Body Art.]
Klaus smiled, and so did his other incarnations.
[There is a message attached to the 4th form, Master.]
