*Bang!~*
Davis furiously struck the heavenly tribulation lightning, but this time, he was struck back a few meters as he staggered. He heard the scream of his little aunt, but he was in no position to let his guard down at this moment as he hurriedly erased the tribulation lightning that crackled on the Golden Sheen Obsidian Sheer.
His death-like energy crazily surged as it dwindled the tribulation lightning. The tribulation lightning tried to spread like fire to his grasp, but it was exterminated before it could even get to him. He spent five percent of his soul force in an instant to erase it as he could not afford to be slow in facing the next burst.
However, it was already three attacks! Was it the end, or were there more?
'I seriously know almost nothing about heavenly tribulation, and yet I decided to face one...!? This must be the second-most stupid decision I've ever taken in my life after trying to cross worlds in the beginning...!'
Davis turned to look at the little aunt who seemed to have his figure reflected in her purple eyes. There were tears of anxiousness present on her cheeks, causing his heart to melt as he didn't feel like criticizing her.
"Welcome back, little aunt..."
Tia Alstreim was practically worried to death at this moment. She instantly became aware that Davis was facing the heavenly tribulation in her stead. His gentle voice soothed her psyche, but her rosy lips quivered.
"Big brother... I'm sorry... I was wrong, all because I wasn't sure if it was the fifth whisper..."
She sniffled.
"You think your father and I didn't know that...?"
Davis rolled his eyes. He was the one who had arbitrarily decided to continue with Lia Alstreim's treatment, perfectly aware that it might or might not bring down a heavenly tribulation.
Nevertheless, looking at her trembling body that seemed to be struck with fear while being aware she was right under a heavenly tribulation, he could tell that she was trying her best to stand up, but her body just wouldn't listen.
"Just stay down there and let big brother handle it for you since I'm already responsible for making the heavenly tribulation something you wouldn't be able to handle even if you were hundred times strong..." He chuckled and looked back up where the skies seem to come to life as lightning kept flashing while thunder kept rumbling.
Tia Alstreim was at a loss for words...
She knew that she would be dead if it weren't for big brother Davis as she had found herself in a nightmare while it looks like another tribulation had already begun.
Gritting her small teeth in determination, her legs trembled as she rose, finally standing up, wanting to help Davis somehow, but she could not think of anything while her body refused to move.
*Rumble!~*
The lighting above gathered more strands to an unprecedented degree and merged into one!

*Boom!~*
Another tribulation lightning struck down, causing her to throw her head up as the sheer pressure caused her to freeze in her tracks.
*Bang!~*
The sound of metal clashing, as well as an explosion from the resulting impact, could be heard as Davis once again struck the lightning with the Golden Sheen Obsidian Spear.
*Boom!~*
Another tribulation lightning plunged after three seconds, broader and longer than before as if it were a giant snake!
*Bang!~*
Davis deflected it again with a swing of his hands. The golden-black spear struck the lightning, but he was sent flying downwards repeatedly.
Right now, he was just sixty meters above Tia Alstreim after being constantly pushed back by the resounding lightning strikes of the heavenly tribulation. Each strike had his heart racing, nervous that he might mess up, but he was able to keep up with its speed in defending against it.
His arms shook while veins could be seen protruding on his skin. His palms were covered with the hardened scales of the earth dragon as he utilized the technique from the Domineering Earth Dragon Arts. It helped him prevent the lightning from damaging his hands that held the spear. However, with increasing intensity and prowess of the tribulation lightning, he was finding his fingers become number by the second because the tribulation lightning was already at the high level of the eighth stage.
With his prowess, he still found it easy to deflect it, but the impact and the sturdiness of the tribulation lightning, along with the overbearing aura of the heavenly tribulation, left him gasping for breath that he was only able to muster about seventy to eighty percent of his prowess.
He felt that it couldn't be helped as it was the first time he was facing something overbearing than anything he could find in this world. Even the Earth Dragon Immortal's aura seemed insignificant in front of the heavenly tribulation, but he knew that it was relative as the Earth Dragon Immortal was only a mere soul.
He mused that if he were to face with an Immortal, their aura would be probably greater than the current level of this heavenly tribulation.

Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth, surging with another bout of soul force that streamed out of his soul sea with intensity as he prepared to take on the sixth strike of the tribulation lightning, and just as he expected...
*Boom!~*
He deflected it again before another one, the seventh strike made its way down like a stream after a few seconds of reprieve!
This tribulation lightning was ten meters wide as it struck down. It almost resembled a dragon as it zig-zagged through the skies, bringing its might with fury as it crashed towards the human who interfered with the heavenly tribulation!
*Bang!~*
"Ahhh!"
Davis grunted as the black spearhead cut down the tribulation lightning bolt with difficulty. The moment he severed it, he was sent flying again from the impact, reaching twenty meters from the ground. His scaled fingers were charred, and his arms considerably shook while the Golden Sheen Obsidian Spear also wildly shook from shouldering most of the impact.
It seemed to be at its limit before it could start to crack!
'Fuck...! This shit is too powerful! Are heavenly tribulations supposed to be like this? Then how is it possible for people at the peak of the ninth stage are able to pass the heavenly tribulation and proceed to the Immortal Stage? Could it be that they all have an equal, no, more prowess than my own?'
Davis found this tribulation lightning strikes absurd. He was using his death-like energy for heaven's sake, and he was being overwhelmed at the seventh strike. He didn't know how many tribulation lightning bolts were left that would strike him from the skies, but at this rate, if it didn't stop at nine attacks, he knew that he would die for real!
If Fallen Heaven did not hide, his prowess would be unmatchable when he used its death-like energy. However, it had arbitrarily hidden itself without even telling him, and he could not do anything about that other than ask questions from it later.
But because of that, he also realized a point of weakness that he failed to realize before.
Other than the compatible Dark Concealing Shroud Art that he arbitrarily and luckily used with the death-like energy, there were few to no techniques that he had mastered to utilize his death-like energy. All he did was release his death-like energy without any form, intent, or intricacy like a retard, hoping that it would do his bidding.
In fact, it did indeed do his bidding as it was overwhelmingly powerful, even capable of exterminating the tribulation lightning. However, it proved to be not enough from this moment.
Nevertheless, with rage still left from the aftermath of the Heart Demon Tribulation, Davis still looked at the heavenly tribulation with hostile intent as he readied himself for the next attack!
"Big brother..."
Tia Alstreim muttered as she trembled.
Right now, she was utterly mortified that she couldn't even lift a finger. She never imagined herself to be a coward even though she was shy, but at this moment, she deeply hated herself for not being even able to stand straight while Davis defended her from the tribulation lightning.
However, contrary to her thoughts, the three ninth-stage powerhouses felt that it was highly commendable that she was able to even stand under the terrifying aura of the tribulation that had undergone a massive change from the interruption caused by Davis. They had expected her to cower on the ground like a little lamb or even piss her pants from sheer fright, but she just trembled as she stood her ground, making them aware that she was a talent to be molded.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim was rather angry with Edgar Alstreim that he did not say anything about his second daughter's unique physique. However, when he recalled that the discrimination they received, that offspring from two cripples would also be good-for-nothing cripple, not to mention the troubles they faced through Weiss Alstreim's bullying, his anger subsided.
He understood that he genuinely let them down as the entire family's guardian.
But still, he had an ugly expression on his face.
Even if he could afford to lose Tia Alstreim as he didn't know much about her, he wanted to save her as he could not bear to see the little girl cry helplessly. However, he definitely could not lose Davis, whom he had cast his entire faith on.

That would be a huge blow not only to him but to the whole family.
On the other hand, Tia Alstreim's thoughts weren't concerned with the entire family. Her regret was based entirely on the fact of how she was going to get him killed because of her foolishness and selfishness. If she wasn't adamant about wanting to heal her mother, the situation might not have turned out like this...
Her father had wanted to stop upon hearing that she was not sure, but she adamantly whined like a little kid for him to heal her mother no matter what. Tears fell down her eyes as she felt deep remorse, even wanting to kill herself for bringing this disaster upon her big brother.
*Boom!~*
At this moment, the eighth strike of the tribulation lightning fell as Davis struck the lightning in her eyesight. She thought he would somehow manage to block it. However, it still got him as it turned his purple-robes into one of a fried black robe while even his arms were charred black. He was sent flying as he crashed into the ground, creating a crater while a wave of dust shrouded them.
"Ah~~~"
A heartrending cry could be heard from Tia Alstreim as her knees collapsed as she kneeled on the grassy plains, tears running down her eyes like a waterfall.
It was over...
Although she knew that he could not be dead yet with that kind of injury, she was convinced that the next strike from the heavenly tribulation would absolutely kill her big brother!
Her crying silhouette amidst the dust invoked deep pity in the hearts of the Ninth Stage Powerhouses that they slightly moved in to help but stopped as they once again realized the consequences. Their expressions were red with shame and somewhat green with disappointment in themselves, knowing that they could do nothing to save the two young ones because if Davis could not take it on with prowess that transcends three levels at the eighth stage, then they definitely would not be able to do so!
