Four days passed in a blink of an eye. The sky around the Holy church was riddled with people from various factions. Despite the raging lightning storm, they risked their lives to witness Michael's heavenly tribulation. The entire city of Yaserius was evacuated due to the storm. The storm destroyed almost half of the houses in the city. If it weren't for the energy shield around the city, the city would have been in ruins. Almost three hundred people hovered in the sky, staring at the storm without batting an eye. But they could barely see Michael, who sat in the middle of the storm.

As they were staring at Michael, a bolt of lightning struck him. A few seconds later, another bolt of lightning struck him again. Many gasped in shock. For the past twenty-four hours, they had seen Ghost being struck by lightning countless times. Everyone who cared for him like Sabrina, Ethan, and Claire, felt like they were being struck by lightning.

Gaya prayed to all the gods deep down. She had never heard such a phenomenon of a cultivator being struck by lightning more than five times. Every time a bolt of lightning struck Michael, they thought it would be the last one. Many even gambled on his life, betting whether he would die by the next lightning or not.

His black robes radiated smoke as they had several burning holes. Fortunately, no one tried to interrupt the heavenly tribulation. To Gaya's surprise, the Alpha Guardians themselves came to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible. Not because they cared for Ghost but because, judging by the storm's intensity, they feared any interruption to the heavenly tribulation could destroy the entire kingdom of Thera. It worked in Michael's favor.

Meanwhile, Michael sat down in the middle of a storm without moving an inch. He thought he wouldn't feel any pain because of the system. But he was totally wrong. Intense pain flared up every time a lightning bolt struck him. Every muscle in his body tensed up. His entire body told him to stop what he was doing, stop and find relief from this hellish feeling. He thought his body would go numb after being struck by lightning after some time yet his body and mind refused to go numb. Michael was unable to block out the pain entirely.

Simply put, the pain was like his skin being stripped off alive. However, the pain wasn't the only feeling he experienced. Every time a bolt of lightning struck him, his body became strong. He felt something leaving his body. He wasn't wrong as that something was toxic and impurities in his body and soul. In other words, the lightning bolts cleansed his body and soul. He was being reborn.

The sky looked as dark ad black canvas. Many thought it was the result of the storm and the snowy weather. But in reality, the darkness was a result of Michael stepping into his Godhood. Luckily for Michael, Skyhall had no instructions or texts about the Dark Lord's godhood. Furthermore, they were absolutely certain that Hunter was the Dark Lord. Since he was at the Celestial stage, the Skyhall elders completely ignored Michael's heavenly tribulation. As far as they were concerned, Ghost was a prodigy, nothing more and nothing less.

Regardless, Michael's excitement slowly rose in his heart. He had received millions of badass points, and the system used them to upgrade his spells.

Several hours later, blue, glowing words appeared in his pitch-black vision.

[Ultimate form of spell Ignitia has been unlocked]

[Ultimate form of spell Wind blast has been unlocked]

[Ultimate form of spell Lightning Dash has been unlocked]

[Ultimate form of spell Eyes of Doom has been unlocked]

The word ultimate was alone enough to make him feel excited beyond words. He couldn't wait to see the ultimate form of the spells.

[At level 1, the ultimate spells can only be used once a day]

The system's words somewhat diluted his excitement, yet he expected a catch.

[Congratulations to the host for stepping into the Godhood]

[Current Godhood level- Fledgling god]

[The host can find seeds of darkness and achieve certain feats to level up your Godhood]

[The higher the Godhood level, the more powers will be unlocked]

Finally, Michael had taken his first step into his Godhood. As a result, almost every single skill and spell in Michael's arsenal got a boost in power.

[All of the host's elemental mastery except darkness has doubled]

[Wind mastery reached 20%]

[Lightning mastery reached 30%]

[Fire mastery reached 20%]

[Darkness mastery reached 35%]

Except for Darkness which went from 25% to 35%, all of his elemental mastery had doubled.

Michael was elated by the system notifications. His suffering and the pain he experienced were worth it. He felt more powerful and stronger than ever before. More and more lightning bolts struck Michael, but the pain he felt was nowhere close to the pain he had felt earlier. His body had become strong and powerful beyond any mortal limit. He lost track of time. Finally, he heard the system's voice again.

[Congratulations to Host for reaching the Half Immortal stage level 1]

Michael heaved a sigh of relief in his mind. But it was only the fourth day of his tribulation. On the other hand, those who were staring at Michael felt a sudden power surge in the air. Almost hundreds of golden lightning bolts struck the holy church at the same time. The rumbling thunder almost pierced their eardrums. As a result of the power surge, the storm grew several times more violent. The howling wind pushed everyone back.

Hundreds of lightning bolts streaked across the sky, almost turning the dark sky golden. As a result of these lightning strikes, the red maple leaves turned white. The lightning bolts bleached the red maple trees. The rumbling thunder almost sounded like the sky itself split open. They all feared for their lives. Even the Fusion Stage cultivators flew a mile back from the storm.

The phenomenon continued for almost five hours. Afterward, the lightning bolts disappeared from the sky. Instead, the pitch-black sky and raging storm completely enveloped the holy church. None of them could see what was happening inside the storm. His heavenly tribulation caused the ocean surrounding Awor to become unstable and prone to violent waves. Gigantic tsunami waves rushed toward the land from all directions. Even the golden princess and court mages of the empress herself came out of seclusion to cast energy barriers around the continent.

Some of the peasants who witnessed these giant waves, trembling ground, and dark sky thought it was the end of the world. One couldn't blame them. After all, anyone would freak out when the day suddenly turns into night. Inside the storm, everything turned pitch black. The only source of light inside the storm was the glowing runes around Michael and on the Holy Church building. If it weren't for these runes, the gravitational pull would have stripped the maple trees and the church itself off the ground.

Soon, seconds turned into minutes, and minutes turned into hours. When the final day of his tribulation arrived, every single kingdom in the Awor continent felt the effects of his tribulation. There was no one in Awor who didn't hear the rumbling thunder and see streaks of lightning in the sky.

"It's time," Nightmare said to Gaya. It had been five days since Michael triggered his heavenly tribulation.

Gaya and everyone noticed the storm slowing down. The dark storm clouds gradually passed away, letting the light pass through the sky. Eventually, they were able to see Michael's silhouette in the middle of the storm. Ethan and Sabrina heaved a sigh of relief. Michael slowly opened his eyes. His skin and hair glowed. In a few seconds, his short hair grew several inches to reach his lower neck. Coupled with a stubble beard, Michael looked dashing.

The tattered robes vanished into thin air, and instead, new black robes enveloped his body. As usual, he wore a long black coat with matching black pants. The coat was etched with a silver lining and made of thick fabric. Instead of a black turtleneck, Michael chose black leather armor with protective chest plates. Finally, he completed his wardrobe with black boots and tactical fingerless gloves. Michael's gaze swept across the sky. He noticed hundreds of cultivators staring at him. Without making them wait any longer, he slowly ascended to the sky.

Everyone remained still in fear. A Half Immortal was a pinnacle of existence who could end their lives with a single spell. Plus, no matter how many spells they could cast, they wouldn't be able to kill him, even if they all attacked him together. As expected, Gaya and Nightmare were the first two to fly toward him. When they reached him, their eyes went wide. Gaya's jaw dropped a few inches down. They were different from the rest. The cultivators who saw Michael were beyond shocked. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. He wasn't at the Half Immortal level 1 but level 3. The system harnessed the power of the lightning using the energy devourer. As a result, he was able to jump from level 1 to level 3 in one go.

One by one, Michael's close friends and allies moved closer to him.

"I can't believe it," Gaya gasped.

"You are a freaking Half Immortal,"

Claire and the others, including Ethan, surrounded him. But before Michael could greet them, an ear-deafening thunderclap echoed through the sky. A bright light emerged in the sky. The light was bright enough to resemble the sun. They all looked up as the light slowly descended toward Michael. Everyone couldn't help closing their eyes. Fortunately, the light slowly dimmed, revealing a man with a long white beard and hair.

"An Immortal,"

Several people gasped in shock. But Michael remained calm because he knew who he was, at least where he was coming from. Michael flew higher to meet the old man. The man looked at Michael with a gentle smile. Yet behind that gentle smile was a sliver of shock.

"Young man, I am here to take you to the Council of Immortals," the old man's calm voice sounded like a giant bell.
