624 Lightning Tribulation Part 2

*Rumble!*

As if responding to Alex\'s words, lightning appeared from within the cloud. However, his eyes suddenly widened after finding something unexpected that happened in the first lightning strike.

He deactivated his Spirit Eyes first, thinking there must be something wrong with the new Spirit Eyes. Yet, the form didn\'t change even after seeing it with his normal eyes.

The lightning turned into an arrow and contained a huge amount of energy. He never saw energy at this level, at the start of his Tribulation. After all, he always shattered the first one or two strikes with his strength alone.

This time was very different. He already felt dread striking on his chest, thinking he would die if he didn\'t take this attack seriously. Nelson also couldn\'t understand this and wished to help him, except he had no power to do so.

"What the heck?" Alex shouted as he clenched both his weapons tightly.

*Rumble!*

With the last rumble, the lightning struck forth.

"!!!" Alex pointed his finger toward the lightning strike, trying to test the water. A red light began glowing on his index finger before he shot a red laser from his finger.

"Flame of Extinction."

The laser and lightning strike clashed with each other in the sky. There wasn\'t a single shock wave that came from this clash because the lightning tried to pierce through the flame while the latter tried to burn it.

It continued for a few more seconds. Sometimes the lightning pushed the flame back and vice versa. Alex observed it with his Spirit Eyes and used a little more of his Spiritual Energy to end the fight.

*Boom!*

A quite big explosion occurred when the two attacks destroyed each other. Alex never thought that there was a need to use his Flame of Extinction in the first wave. He shuddered when the thought of the next nine lightning tribulations appeared in his mind.

"This is truly a big problem. I wonder if I can actually finish this Lightning Tribulation…" Alex muttered to himself before shaking that doubt because the cloud sent another lightning.

The form of this second lightning was still an arrow, making him think if it was a fixed shape. Unfortunately, he had no time to think about it and controlled the soul within his body to step on the ground.

"Spirit Step, First Step."

The energy in his surrounding began gathering around his body and getting sucked by his soul. He gained a hundred dragons of strength and struck the lightning arrow with his sword that had been glowing red for a while.

"Ignition Break!"

*Boom!*

His Ignition Break caused a massive explosion to weaken the lightning impact on Alex\'s body and dispersed some energy from the lightning strike. This action alone allowed Alex to split the lightning into two.

When Alex thought about it, the light flashed once again, and another lightning arrow struck down.

Alex\'s expression turned serious as he watched this lightning seriously. His sword and spear glowed in red color before a fire sparked and covered his weapons.

Taking another deep breath, the aura in his body suddenly changed as Alex released a golden aura from his body. The aura rose to the sky before turning into a dragon.

*Roar!* Making its presence known, the dragon letting out a loud roar.

Alex felt the surging strength inside his body as the dragon began absorbing the energy around and turning it into Alex\'s strength.

"Dragon Aura!"

With this strength, Alex became pretty confident about this strike and slashed the lightning with his sword and spear.

"Heaven Light Slash!"

"Ha!" Alex roared to get more excited and bring more energy. According to his Spirit Eyes, this arrow shouldn\'t last out much longer. Yet, he also felt the same for his Martial Arts after clashing for more than twenty seconds.

Even so, he didn\'t become impatient and waited until the lightning arrow\'s energy slowly depleted naturally in the clash.

Only after a minute, Alex realized there was only twenty percent energy left inside the arrow. He channeled more energy in both weapons and pushed the lightning tribulation.

*Bam!*

The moment it cut the arrowhead, the momentum couldn\'t be stopped as it slowly made its way toward the body before splitting the arrow into four. The arrow itself was slightly bigger than his body, so Alex breaking this arrow didn\'t really look weird.

Alex took a deep breath and clenched his weapons tightly. He didn\'t know what would happen next, especially the tenth wave, when the first three lightning strikes already gave him so much trouble.

He shook his head furiously before focusing back on the sky, not wanting to be pessimistic.

The next lightning strike appeared in the form of a spear, and the color changed into purple as usual. There was no clue about the shape of the lightning, confusing Alex very much.

The normal lightning waves would only be a typical lightning strike while the Golden Lightning would have the appearance of a dragon. Yet, the yellow-colored lightning strike was in the form of an arrow while the blue colored lightning was taking the shape of a spear.

Alex thought for a moment. \'What the heck with this lightning form? Is there actually someone controlling the Lightning Strike? System?"

[I have no clue, Host. Even with my power, I haven\'t encountered such a thing.]

The sys… No, Lin Xingzhi told him the truth. She was also clueless about this, thinking it was already beyond understanding to have Golden Lightning Tribulation alone. The addition of this shape completely shattered every speculation she had previously.

Lin Xingzhi could only bite her lips and lean back on her chair with a sad expression. "What is this…"

She glanced to the side, watching the sun that was glaring at her. "You are still the light… This Tribulation wouldn\'t stop you, and I believe that. Still, what is the secret behind this?"

Without a doubt, this would undoubtedly involve Previous Life Alex, but no one could actually ask that question because he was no more in this world. His reincarnation also didn\'t have a single clue with the Lightning Tribulation.

No answer came to her mind, so she decided to look at the screen again, hoping Alex to finish the Tribulation without injury.

At the same time, the fourth wave flew down. Alex had no time to think about it and finally released his Original Sword Skill.

"Heaven Light Slash!"

"Triple Draws."

His strength was already boosted with Dragon Aura and Spirit Step, so this attack contained six Heaven Light Slash with the strength of a 2-Star Martial Monarch.

The first two slashes were aimed at the tip of this spear to stop the advance while the other fours struck on the handle right behind it, hoping to break the spear.

A shock wave rampaged in the surrounding the moment Alex\'s Heaven Light Slash, and the lightning spear clashed. A crater appeared beneath his feet, showing how mighty the lightning spear was.

On the side, Nelson clenched his left fist before putting his right hand in front of him, creating a sphere of energy to stop him from blowing away. The dust was also stopped by this barrier.

No spirits were with him today, so Nelson had the full responsibility to watch this Lightning Tribulation unfold. He wouldn\'t leave a single detail as this was his master\'s Tribulation.

For him, the bigger the lightning tribulation was, the better. A single reason he thought that way because he believed the stronger the Lightning Tribulation was, the more inheritances he would get. In fact, he didn\'t think about the Lightning Tribulation at all. He preferred to think about what kind of inheritance he would get the moment he finished this Lightning Tribulation.

On the other hand, Alex didn\'t have the time to think about that. There wouldn\'t be inheritance if he failed this Tribulation. He might even lose his life in this Lightning Tribulation.

At first, he thought about abandoning the Lightning Tribulation if it was too much to bear for Alex. However, he didn\'t have any assurance if the Golden Lightning would appear for the second time. He was afraid the Golden Lightning didn\'t appear, and he lost the change to get the inheritance. It would be a big loss for Alex because every single Golden Lightning Tribulation was very precious to him as if it was actually tailored for him.

Alex had no choice other than completing the Tribulation in the first try.

The numb sensation started spreading in his hand as he felt a powerful resistance from the spear, trying to break his sword. He wondered whether it was dumb for him to fight this Lightning Tribulation without his rank 8 sword and spear.

The flame in his body rose and turned into a phoenix and stuck the spear from behind. It slowly chipped away the energy from the spear, and Alex finally saw the chance of success.

When he saw there wasn\'t enough energy to support the entire spear because the energy that was stored had been burned, Alex pushed back and destroyed the spear as a whole.

"Fu!" Sweat began covering his forehead as he was dumbstruck with the lightning power. "What is this? There is too much big jump from the third to the fourth strike. It is far more ridiculous than the jump on my Martial Emperor tribulation."

He quickly suppressed the numbness on his hand and looked up again.

*Rumble!*

As if it had a consciousness of its own, the blue lightning flashed once again as another spear gradually made its appearance.

The flame around Alex rose once again, creating four hundred firebirds around him before a huge fireball appeared and turned into a phoenix.

"Go!"

The firebirds and the phoenix flew up while the spear struck down. Alex didn\'t stop there. He felt these two were still not enough to be appetizers, so he pointed both of his index fingers and shot out a flame.

"Flame of Extinction."

At this time, Alex realized that his Hell Inferno was useless in this Lightning Tribulation. He needed a massive amount of energy for it and needed time to prepare. Besides, the amount of concentration required was also no joke.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

A series of explosions occurred in the sky. Those explosions came from the firebirds while the huge one came from the phoenix. After seeing the effectiveness earlier, Alex made the phoenix strike on the back of this spear while he stopped the spear\'s advance with his Flame of Extinction.

Unfortunately, if that were enough, Alex would already feel relieved. After clashing for half a minute, his Flame of Extinction started getting pushed back while the phoenix and the firebirds didn\'t chip enough energy to break the spear.

Alex narrowed his eyes while observing the energy with his Spirit Eyes. The strength from the spear was already a third of its original energy.

His sword and spear started glowing before Alex waved them at the same time, releasing two sword waves.

"Blade of Conquest!"

Another shock wave shook the world. Alex didn\'t have a change of expression this time because he knew the energy from his two swords was far higher than the Spear.

Even though the energy was depleted faster than the spear, Alex still had confidence that his spear was strong enough.

It was only after a minute of clashing, his two sword waves won the fight and cut through the spear.

"I have used one of my strongest attacks in the fifth wave alone, can I still do it?" Alex thought about it while catching his breath. He had yet to exhaust his strength, but the possibility ahead already made him tired.

He wanted to think about it any longer while wondering what moves he should make next, but the spear already came out and ready to strike down.
