The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 913: Valefor's Outrage (2)



Valefor didn't have a single idea why the heavens were smiting the shit out of him. He had never even heard of such a situation.

That said, he did know something else that was related to heavenly punishment.

In fact, any Asura Law user would know about this particular heavenly punishment. It was punishment for the sin of killing.

Chaos was born out of the desire to preserve and continue life.

Thus, the act of killing and exterminating life was a sin that attracted bad karma, and accumulating great karmic sin would summon heavenly punishment periodically.

However, the Lord of Chaos also ruled over the heavens.

As such, everyone who comprehended the Asura Law was granted immunity from the heavenly punishment for accumulating great karmic sin. Only those who took countless lives without understanding the Asura Law would attract heavenly punishment.

Nevertheless, even if Valefor wasn't immune to the heavenly punishment of karmic sins, he still wasn't supposed to receive any.

After all, he may have retained his slaughter aura, but the countless lives he took in the original timeline no longer existed. Everyone killed by him was still alive. In other words, his karmic sins were undone.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He only possessed the slaughter aura without its associating karmic sins.

More importantly, the heavenly punishment for karmic sin wasn't supposed to be in the form of lightning.

The heavenly punishment for slaughtering lives without gain was a phenomenon where one's own karmic sin accumulation would transform into heavenly flames capable of burning the soul.

It was a heavenly punishment that only intended to inflict excruciating pain and torment the mind. In rare cases, karmic sinful beings would even use the heavenly punishment to temper their soul and will.

Such a heavenly punishment didn't have any frightful power of annihilation, unlike the current one bombarding him.

Valefor had no idea that he was being used as Vaan's meatshield.

Although most of Chaos no longer knew about it, the old heaven used to have two forms of lightning tribulations. One was to test and acknowledge, and the other was to destroy and eliminate.

The two forms of lightning tribulations were directly tied to the choice of cultivation.

The way of heaven attracted the Celestial Tribulation, while the way of defying heaven summoned the Divine Damnation. Although they were both lightning tribulations, the differences in their properties showed heaven's bias.

After all, the Celestial Tribulation would bless cultivators with power and recover their wounds if they overcame it.

On the other hand, the Divine Damnation wouldn't grant any additional power or recover wounds if the cultivators overcame it. They would only receive heaven's compromise to allow them to continue their path until they reached the next level that heaven couldn't tolerate.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Black lightning continued to descend from the sky in waves, battering Valefor into the ground repeatedly. Each strike possessed the power to extinguish even Divine Knights.

Heaven's punishment was so relentless that the people of Vladigold City thought doomsday had arrived. Even hiding away in their homes wouldn't protect them from such destructive power.

The entire sky above the city was blotted out by an oppressive feeling of annihilation. As such, the more decisive and wiser people all fled far away from the city. Anywhere was safer than beneath the raging thunderclouds.

In times of disaster, the high-ranking vampires in the city showcased their leadership and responsibility. They protected the livestock-Ahem, the people, and guided them to safety outside the city.

Even those who got caught and trapped underneath rubble were rescued and brought out by them.

"Everyone, follow my lead! We, Noble Vampires, have secured a safe route out of the city. You will be safe if you follow our instructions!" a Noble Vampire directed, adding sternly, "Those who push and disrupt order will be severely punished!"

...

Under the threat of the heavenly punishment, there were a few dissidents who didn't follow orders in a bid to flee the city.

Who would dare stay back longer to die?

Unfortunately for them, the vampires ruthlessly broke their limbs and threw them to the back of the line, leaving them for dead.

After the other people witnessed such cruelty, their courage to cut the line was diminished. They behaved themselves and didn't dare utter a single word of complaint, not even a squeak

or fart.

"Sir Razmir, what do you think is going on? Could this be the fabled end of the world?" a Pureblood Vampire stood on a small hill outside Vladigold City as he watched the destructive descent of black lightning.

"Ah, Duvlad, you also made it out alive," Razmir rejoiced before shaking his head, "I don't have the slightest clue what is going on. However, whatever it is, it can't be something good."

"Right..." Duvlad nodded.

On that opinion, everyone could agree.

Meanwhile, Valefor continued to be suppressed under the barrage of black lightning. Although it couldn't harm his seemingly indestructible body, it still restricted his

movements.

It was like a Divine Lord or Divine King was bullying him.

No matter how furious Valefor was, there was little he could do about the lightning

tribulation.

The only thing he found fortunate in all this was that the starship construction was situated on the southern outskirts of the city. As such, it wouldn't be affected by the lightning

tribulation.

Nevertheless, Valefor had a rebellious innate nature; he wasn't willing to be oppressed or bend to the will of others, not even the heavens.

"Goddammit! Fuck you and all 127 of your generations, Heaven! Don't think that you can keep this Daddy bowed down forever!" Valefor cursed furiously.

Valefor quickly gathered the full might of his Asura Law in a bid to resist the overbearing power of the lightning tribulation.

"The Asura Law can kill all things! There is nothing this Daddy can't kill! Not even a mere lightning tribulation is an exception! How dare you try to ride over my head! Such insolence

must be punished!"

Boom!

The lightning tribulation immediately responded to Valefor's angry clamor with a stronger force, slamming his raised head back into the ground.

Vaan was only trying to advance to Rank 6 in body cultivation, but the Divine Damnation he attracted was something that even Rank 7 Divine Beings couldn't survive.

Neither Vaan nor Valefor knew it was possibly one of the strongest Divine Damnations in history to be attracted for a mere breakthrough into the divine way.
