Chapter 914: Eating the Lightning Tribulation



Although Valefor used his strongest Asura Law to fend against the lightning tribulation, he was still smashed into the ground by its sheer force.

He was gloomy that he could go on a slaughtering spree; only the thrill of killing could vent his frustration. Heaven was simply a big bully who targeted him for no reason.

No matter how Valefor thought about it, the heavens have always been governed by a set of rules. As such, it would never deliver heavenly punishment for no reason unless it was controlled by the Lord of Chaos, who ruled above the heavens.

However, he did not remember pissing off the Lord of Chaos either. Thus, there was no reason for the Lord of Chaos to bully him with the heavenly punishment.

After pondering for a while under the oppression of the lightning tribulation, a faint suspicion sprouted in Valefor's heart. He immediately took a peek inside the Profound Pear of Life.

In that instant, his face flushed red with rage.

Although Valefor didn't know what kind of cultivation method Vaan was using, he could at least tell he was making an extraordinary breakthrough. It was hard not to figure it out when the invisible shackles of the heavenly laws were snapping off like breaking ice.

'Mother fucker! So, I was being your meatshield!' Valefor wanted to cough up blood.

What was truly depressing was the fact that he couldn't do anything even after finding out the true target of the lightning tribulation. He didn't want to be Vaan's meatshield, but he had no choice but to do it.

Valefor wished he hadn't found out; he was happier when he didn't know what was going on. Ignorance was bliss - This phrase couldn't have been truer.

'Dammit! Other Me, you owe big time!' Valefor gritted his teeth as he forcefully endured the relentless lightning strikes just to turn his body over.

Since he couldn't resist the lightning tribulation, he might as well embrace it!

"So what if you want to smite me?! The only thing you can do is pin me down! However, don't bully people too much! Even a dog knows how to bite back!" Valefor spat defiantly.

As if the lightning tribulation had a will of its own, it gathered even more power after hearing Valefor's challenging words.

In truth, even if Valefor didn't act as Vaan's meatshield, he would have still been targeted by the lightning tribulation all the same anyway.

After all, they were still of one being and soul, even if they had contrasting personalities and acted differently. They were two bodies tied by the same metal wire. As such, if one side touched the lightning rod, the other would also be shocked.

Boom! Boom! Boom!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The black lightning descended in consecutive waves.

However, Valefor no longer tried to resist its destructive power with his bare body. Instead, he opened his mouth wide open and forcefully swallowed all of the black lightning.

Gulp!

Valefor defiantly forced the black lightning down his throat and trapped it inside his stomach. His thinking was quite simple.

Since the lightning tribulation couldn't hurt him, he might as well contain its power! After all, if its power was contained, it might not be able to regather its strength!

"Since you gifted me such generous lightning power, don't think about taking it back!" Valefor glared at the thunderous dark clouds with gritted teeth.

At the same time, the black lightning trapped inside his body rampaged uncontrollably. It was like a trapped beast desperately trying to break out as it coursed through his channels chaotically, ramming itself everywhere while looking for a weak point.

Unfortunately, Valefor's body was a Primordial Avatar with True Divinity-level defense.

As such, whether it was external or internal, his body had no flaws for the black lightning to exploit.

No matter how destructive the black lightning was, it was still made of pure energy. Thus, once Valefor killed its momentum and calmed it down, it became free energy for him to absorb.

Moreover, it also tempered his indestructible body by a minuscule degree during its rampaging, granting him some affinity with tribulation lightning.

Crackle!

The lightning tribulation noticed his decline in power and roared furiously. Valefor's action didn't make it back down but retaliated even more relentlessly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

More bolts of black lightning descended from the sky to greet Valefor in the face.

However, he longer viewed them as an annoying pain in his ass; they had become a fine delicacy for him to enjoy.

Even if he had not found a way to absorb the tribulation lightning effectively, he believed there would be a way. He just needed to spend some time researching it before picking the method that worked best.

Little did Valefor know, his action was something the Lord of Chaos himself had done before. It was also in line with the path of defying the heavens.

Since Divine Damnations did not bless cultivators like Celestial Tribulations do, they had to take their power for themselves forcefully.

Boom! Boom!

After Valefor swallowed and tamed the new rounds of black lightning, the lightning tribulation stupidly dropped more to smite him.

Ultimately, the lightning tribulation did not have a conscious will of its own; it was only carrying out a designated task like a machine and would continue to do so until either the task was completed or its powers were exhausted.

As a result, Valefor continued to receive freebies from the lightning tribulation and temper

his body repeatedly.

With each new round of lightning strikes, the lightning tribulation grew weaker.

Eventually, the lightning tribulation became weak to the point where it could only suppress Valefor into the ground with its lightning bolts.

Nevertheless, Valefor did not take that chance to escape the lightning tribulation. Instead, he glanced up at it greedily, licking his lips.

Bam!

Valefor suddenly launched himself into the dark skies and dived straight into the depths of the weakening lightning tribulation to swallow its remaining power.

If the food was good, the plate had to be licked clean to show his appreciation! Surprisingly, the lightning tribulation suddenly gained self-awareness shortly after Valefor dived inside the thunderclouds. It had no choice but to acknowledge its defeat and retreat.

It felt threatened.

"Where do you think you are going?!" Valefor bellowed as he chased after the receding thunderclouds.
