The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 814 814: Thunder Domain Tribulation (2)

The second level of the Thunder Domain is the Thunder Cymbals.

When Klaus arrived at the second level, two colossal cymbals appeared, one on the right and the other on the left.

Back on the ground, Queen Lunara and Veylor stared at Klaus as if he hadnʼt just entered a domain. To them, he was merely inside a space, just like when he was on the outside.

Klaus waited for the cymbals to be clapped because that was how they were made. They clapped around the one taking the tribulation, and whether or not he could break free depended on the strength of the one having the tribulation.

There was no dodging the clap, so Klaus waited. As he expected, the two cymbals appeared and opened wide, creating a large surface area.

Klaus waited patiently for the cymbals to move, and like a slap, they clapped, sealing him inside. The moment the cymbals clapped, a wave of sonic energy surged out, threatening to explode Klausʼs head.

However, he was a step ahead, using the Bell of Harrows to handle the attack.

Inside the cymbals was a world of its own. Klaus floated up, hovering as countless sword arcs rained from the heavens, threatening to cut him into countless pieces.

Klaus didnʼt give them a chance to land on him, knowing the sword arcs were much stronger than they appeared.

He instead unleashed the cauldron and let it handle the attacks.

No matter what, he wouldnʼt let the heavens have it easy, knowing he had much bigger things to handle. When the sword arcs were dealt with, arrows as thick as an adult arm and longer than 3 meters started raining down.

Klaus didnʼt pay that much attention since the cauldron of unknown origin was doing all the work for him. Not a single arrow landed on him.

All he was doing was channeling his energy into the cauldron, and that was all. However, the arrows didnʼt last long, as at some point, they changed into spears.

”Tsk, it seems they donʼt even know when to use a spear and when to use an arrow. How messed up can one be to make such a mistake? Bunch of idiots.”

Though his words were disrespectful, the heavens could only bottle that up for the next tribulation.

”Screech.” Suddenly, a powerful screech came from the clouds inside the cymbals as a mighty eagle appeared and sped toward Klaus.

Its wingspan is over 60 meters wide, dwarfing Klaus as it sped toward him.

This time, Klaus put away the cauldron and unleashed the spear he had used to destroy the Divine Judgment sword.

This rusty spear had the most piercing power among all his soul weapons, so he unleashed it and directed it toward a head-on collision with the eagle.

The two clashed, and for a brief moment, the defense of the eagle held, but then it crumbled, turning into tribulation runes, just like the sword arcs, spears, and arrows.

After the eagle was brought down, Klaus didnʼt give the cymbals a chance to launch more attacks. He directed the spear upward and made it spin.

Then he retrieved the cauldron again, and as if his mind had been touched by something, Klaus hurled it with powerful force, causing the cauldron to slam into the side of the left cymbal, creating a crack.

The entire space vibrated when the cauldron slammed into the cymbalʼs body. However, the cracks began healing immediately.

Unfortunately for the heavens, Klaus had already taken this tribulation in his past life, so he knew how to defeat them.

While they may have made things much more difficult, he knew how this worked. So, the spear was on the move, and before the cracks could close, it pierced through, drawing a hole in the cymbal.

Then the cauldron moved again. This time, the crack wasnʼt shallow. It widened, and upon the third strike, the cymbal shattered and turned into tribulation runes.

Naturally, the second cymbal also turned to runes and entered Klausʼ body.

Inside his soul sea, the transparent egg turned into a translucent golden egg, then into an opaque dark golden egg. The moment it did, the millions of runes entering his body started flowing into the core.

This caused Klaus to begin forming his first Transcendent core. However, he would need more runes if he wants his core to form early.

A transcendent core isnʼt easily formed with just a few runes. He needed to get the better end of the deal by killing more, which Klaus planned on doing.

As the cymbals exploded, the second level of the Thunder Domain tribulation ended. Klaus was immediately taken into the third.

[If you want to gather more runes, this is a great spot.] The senior said to Klaus, who nodded, knowing he was about to face his first big challenge.

A large spell circle appeared in the clouds, and from within, thousands of spears made of ice, lightning, and even metal started raining down on Klaus.

The third level of the Thunder Domain tribulation is called the Infinity Spear.

There would be an infinite number of spears raining down on him. Klaus must clear a path and fly through the spell circle if he wants to break through this level.

However, that was easier said than done, considering the initial stage was already harrowing, and the difficulty only grew as more spears rained down.

But Klaus wasnʼt in a hurry.

This one has no defined form, unlike the previous tribulations, which had a specified number of beasts, monsters, or attacks from the heavens.

This meant if he wanted, he could keep going all day.

Naturally, Klaus prepared for this, so he gave the order.

”Senior, this is the best time to expand the prison.”

[Way ahead of you, brat. Iʼve expanded it to 100 square kilometers. You just have to know when you canʼt handle it anymore and then move to the next level.]

”I know, senior. I will handle what I can and let the rest happen in the next levels.” With that, Klaus sat down and opened the Maw of the Abyss... Lol.

He opened the portal to the tribulation prison and started collecting the spears like they were his personal property.
