Divine Emperor of Death

Davis followed his connection with Nadia and appeared near the Divergent Peak.

He could no longer enter the Aurora Cloud Gate as his time was up, but the Divergent Peak was different. It was at the edge of the Aurora Cloud Gate on the other side, so he took a roundabout way to arrive, but he knew this kind of stuff could happen, so he had also set up a teleportation formation to the other side of the Aurora Cloud Gate's Domain.

From there, he quickly appeared at the Divergent Peak, where the aura of destructive lightning was everywhere, but he could see it had greatly decreased because of what Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow and Vile Enchanter Kieran Hartley did, unleashing Vacuous Beasts by using the divergence factor that had gathered here.

Still, since the aura of the destructive lightning was at Immortal Emperor Grade at the core area, Eldia wasn't distressed about it much.

Davis flew to the core area and saw his Eldia grabbing some clouds from the side as she ate a meal of destructive lightning. Her actions were no different than grabbing popcorn and watching a show, except the show she was watching was none other than Nadia undergoing her heavenly tribulation.

'I told her to call me when she breaks through the bottleneck…'

Davis wryly smiled. Nadia started without him, perhaps not wanting to disturb him.

Above, the tribulation clouds were dark, but they rapidly growing crimson in color and extending beyond the horizon.

Nadia's tribulation became an Annihilative Heavenly Tribulation, although she was already three strikes in because he saw the intelligent dragon lightning bolt breaking into minute particles.

As for the reason why this had turned into an Annihilative Heavenly Tribulation, he could think of it as he saw Nadia's image in the soul shelter grow and fill the space. Most likely, her racial karmic burden that disallowed her species from mating was being removed by the Transitory Beast Taming Pact's true ability, possibly fully.

It caused her Destructive Heavenly Tribulation to turn into an Annihilative Heavenly Tribulation.

However, Davis wasn't worried as he saw how easily she destroyed the destructive lightning strike with her claw, except it looked like a slap as she swatted it like a fly.

He knew that adding one more level as a result of encountering annihilative tribulation wasn't going to make this tribulation too hard.

Davis had more experience with annihilative tribulations than most individuals he encountered.

Therefore, he knew the annihilative factor added two levels to the tribulation.

Nadia's Emperor-Tier factor added four levels into the mix while the karmic burden from him and herself could be rounded about to two levels each.

In total, Nadia's tribulations were ten levels higher in prowess, but since he imbued one-meter tall third-tier karmic virtue in her, Nadia's Immortal Emperor Tribulation was only six levels higher.

To Nadia, who possessed a base prowess of eight levels, this was simply a child's game.

After the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation's three strikes in the Immortal Emperor Stage, it would usually be a Yin Heavenly Tribulation or Yang Heavenly Tribulation. However, the Nether Springs Death Wolf had a unique tribulation factor because its ancestors were one of the twelve Paragon Magical Beasts.

*Rumble!!!~*

After a pause, the dark crimson tribulation clouds once again brewed with their authoritative yet thunderous sounds and emanated an intense pressure upon the surroundings but, most importantly, the tribulation taker.

Underneath those rumbling clouds formed a crimson lightning sword.

It fell from the skies in a straight line, intending to pierce through Nadia.

It radiated an immense annihilative might but was pitifully only as strong as six levels higher.

*Bang!~*

Nadia used a mere slap again to defeat the annihilative heavenly lightning strike.

After three seconds, the second strike of Nadia's unique tribulation fell.

It burst forth with an instantaneous might but abruptly split into two swords with the same hectic prowess.

Nadia used both her claws to strike, causing the annihilative heavenly swords that came piercing through the skies to shatter in an instant.

After three more seconds, the third lightning strike split into three, but when those annihilative heavenly swords fell, Nadia's three dark tails swiped at the air above and shattered them.

With each strike, the annihilative heavenly lightning sword grew by one.

This was none other than the unique tribulation factor of the Death-Attributed Wolf Race, Eighteen Strikes Punitive Tribulation.

After the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation's three strikes, there would be eighteen strikes more, but with each strike of those eighteen strikes, the annihilative heavenly lightning swords will grow by one in a subsequent manner until there are eighteen swords at the final strike.

However, none of these strikes posed any kind of threat to Nadia.

He had basically made sure that Nadia and the others were able to breeze through with karmic virtue. Aside from the matter of honor, it was the heavens who were making things difficult for them, and since it abided by its rules, he was willing to take advantage of it by allowing his women to cheat the heavens.

However, Davis knew it wouldn't be without a price.

Gifting around karmic virtue like they were pancakes was bound to cause some divergence in the bubble of fate. He wished the divergence would be a boon rather than a bane from the bottom of his heart but remained steadfast enough to counter anything.

The tenth strike fell, turning into ten powerful annihilative heavenly lightning swords, but Nadia still used only one type of move, slapping the shit out of the heavenly tribulation lightning with her claws, tails, or wings as she jumped around, causing it to shatter again and again.

Even if these strikes struck her body, they couldn't even pierce her fluffy, dark-purplish fur, much less her skin.

The more they flew around her to target her if she missed their overwhelming numbers, the faster they got shattered like a mirror.

He couldn't help but laugh at her huge figure, trying to dodge those heavenly lightning swords that were tiny compared to her.

As an Immortal King Beast, Nadia was as tall as a hundred and twenty meters long, her body length measuring more than two hundred meters long. She was incredibly massive but smaller compared to dragons and other large magical beasts.

Still, her imposing figure of a wolf coated in dark-purplish fur was sick, and her pair of wings that blotted the skies with her two-hundred-meter wide wingspan was enough to make anyone cower. It was as though she had come out of a horror story, and if he didn't know her, he would have run away as fast as he could.

Nothing about this huge magical beast could scream concealment, but when she dodged with her huge frame, she didn't even create a massive force of wind in her wake like huge magical beasts would.

She was simply one with the world, appearing seamless as ever.

It wasn't long before Davis saw the eighteenth strike form.

Like the initial third heavenly lightning strike of Heavenly Lightning Tribulation, this was also a dragon with an enormous amount of condensed energy and Will. Subsequently, it was eighteen meters tall. Its size was nothing compared to Nadia's, and its prowess was subpar as well, but its aura was heavy and dense, having an immense suppressive effect on Nadia.

Despite that, Nadia remained steady.

She didn't make any rude gestures or comments but waited for the dragon to drop to send it to oblivion.
