The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

It has been a little over three years since Klaus awakened as a warrior, and in those three years, he has never felt his life in mortal danger.

Even when he was nearly killed back during the Zombie invasion at Arcadian City, he never felt his life in mortal danger.

However, today, as he stood under the deep black spear, Klaus felt his life was in danger, and that prompted him to take things seriously.

“Death, Void, time to get busy.” At his command, the Death and Void part of his Nine-Headed Hydra Dragon living armour wrapped around his body, forming a leather yet living-like armour.

It became completely black with strands of ashen-white vertically lining the rib sides.

They wrapped around his neck and extended along the sides of his face, covering his ear before forming like a crown on his forehead. From that crown, two white horns extended, giving him a powerful look.

At that very moment, the senior’s voice entered his ears.

[My calculation was indeed spot on. This is the first form of the tribulation. It is called the Seven Colored Superimposing Heaven’s Spear.

There are seven power spears that the heavens used in tribulation. Of course, the real things are hidden in the heavenly realm. However, mere avatars created from Karmic lightning aren’t any weaker.

Every spear carries twice the strength of the previous, making the 7th spear 14 times more dangerous. It is one of the heavenly tribulations that many have fallen prey to.

However, this one is different. It contains the power of the Karmic Heaven Divine Punishment. If you were to devour this into the soul sea, your death will come swiftly.]

Klaus didn’t show any scared expression. However, he was taken aback by the senior’s words.

“So that is what was causing the danger to grip my heart.” Klaus could still feel the danger, and that alone was more than enough to tell him the form of danger he was in.

[Just don’t devour it. Destroy it, and it will turn into tribulation runes, which you can then absorb. Also, be careful, Karmic lightning is several times stronger than the normal tribulation lightning.]

Klaus extended his hand, and a spear appeared.

“I won’t devour it, senior, for I plan on destroying every last spear with my own hand.” Klaus flew into the air and spun the spear in his grip.

At that time, a 300-meter-long spear appeared from the clouds and began pressing down on Klaus. However, almost as if he wasn’t feeling anything, Klaus stood there with his shoulders held high.

“Just this weak spear and you think I will cower before you?”

Klaus pointed the spear up, “Watch how I destroy your spear.”

With a speed that nobody below the Domain Stage could track, Klaus slammed his spear at the tip of the black Superimposing Heaven’s Spear.

The impact was immediate and violent. The speed Klaus moved at wasn’t his top speed, but it was enough to carry the momentum he wanted.

Klaus felt his hand tremble when the two spears met.

“Break.”

He pushed hard, channelling his star qi into the spear.

Looking from the ground, one would see a tiny human meeting a colossal black spear, one that is both larger and longer than he is.

However, despite the size and length difference, the long black spear cracked when Klaus pushed hard. Then the crack started lining the body of the spear until, suddenly, a blast that pushed Klaus to the ground erupted from the black spear.

Klaus landed hard on the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

“Shameless heavens.” Klaus’s eyes turned cold as he looked at the runes speeding toward him and entering his body.

Just now, when he was breaking the spear, it exploded on its own, sending out a powerful wave of soul attack. If Klaus hadn’t sensed the danger quickly and added layers of soul defence, he would have been heavily injured.

“Since you want to play dirty, then why don’t we play to the end?” Klaus put away the spear and took out a large hammer.

RUMBLE

At that very moment, a white spear appeared 12 meters from the cloud and sent down twice the pressure that the black spear gave off.

“Weak.”

Without waiting for the spear to fully appear like he should, Klaus moved with a momentum that caused the hammer in his hand to engulf in red flame.

“Let’s hammer them,” Void shouted from the hammer with an enthusiasm that caused the seriousness on Klaus’s face to falter.

He appeared a meter from the spear and, with a strike that caused the void around to crack, Klaus landed the hammer on the spear.

BOOM

SHATTER

The spear shattered and turned into tribulation runes.

RUMBLE

The clouds churned, releasing a powerful drive of hatred toward Klaus, who was back on the ground wearing a smug expression.

The flame around the hammer turned back to Void, who puffed one cheek and pointed at the terrifying cloud.

“In your faces,” Void shouted

“Yes, in their faces.” Klaus waved his hand, and Void vanished, becoming a tattoo on his left arm.

“Since you choose not to play fair, then I also won’t play fair.” The clouds turned even more violent as the third spear appeared. It was blue in color, and it contained even more pressure than the second one.

However, aside from feeling some form of pressure on him, Klaus remained standing like a mountain.

He waved his hand, and a bow appeared in his firm grip. Then he extended his hand, and a brownish arrow formed.

“Time to see if that Uptight Angel Lady was bragging or her technique indeed has some power to it.”

Although Klaus couldn’t use the full power of even the first form of the Five Arrows of Condemnation technique, his pride wouldn’t allow him to give the lady any credit, as she had chosen to give him an incomplete technique.

Klaus pointed the arrow at the spear that was halfway through the clouds. “Eat this, suckers.”

The arrow left his bow with a thunderclap so powerful that Klaus was forced back several steps. The spear that was halfway through the cloud came to a complete stop.

Klaus, who saw this, sucked in a cold breath. In fact, he was sick beyond his understanding. Looking at the spear, one would say he had missed the shot. However, Klaus knew he didn’t miss the shot.

What happened was several times more bone-chilling.

The spear was intact and had no cracks, but Klaus knew it was damaged beyond repair.

Right when the arrow left his bow, it turned into a wave of energy and went through the spear.

It was almost invisible, but Klaus saw it.

A large chunk of his energy was sucked out. However, he managed to destroy the third spear, enraging the heavens even more.

“Although it took a large chunk of my energy, most of it came from my first core. I still have eight more.”

Klaus smiled, and then, for the next three spears that appeared, he made sure they were all destroyed before they could fully come out through the cloud.

Although this limited the amount of tribulation runes he was getting, Klaus didn’t care.

His focus was more on passing the tribulation. So while the heavens were screaming, he was merely having a field day.

[You know, sometimes I seem to forget you are a paragon.] The senior chuckled just when the weather changed and the clouds turned red.

“The last spear is here.”
