The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 817: Thunder Domain Tribulation (5)

All nine doors inside Klausʼs soul sea opened for the first time ever, pouring out dense star qi. The third soul egg forming was immediately flooded with dense energy coming from the nine doors and outside.

Klaus pressed his hand on the sculpture, and instead of shattering it, he started absorbing the dense immortal qi emanating from it.

The third soul egg formed in under a minute, and his third core began forming. That one also took a couple of minutes, but it formed, and the fourth soul egg started.

Meanwhile, on the outside, the dragon came to a stop when, for some reason, the cavalry that appeared stopped attacking. Every last one of them came to a sudden stop and started to stare at Klaus.

But the same could not be said for the heavens, which kept sending thousands of cavalry out. However, whenever they appeared, each would stop and stare at Klaus.

Even when the cavalry, wearing red to signify they were the heavenly punishment, came, they didnʼt do what they were sent to do.

Within five minutes, close to 665,000 cavalry arrived. But none attacked Klaus, who was immobile and clearly exposed to their onslaught.

This continued for ten minutes until Klaus stopped what he was doing. But even so, the cavalry didnʼt attack him. They sat on their mounts, staring at him.

”Seven cores formed, huh?” A smile appeared on Klausʼs face as he stored the sculpture in the multi-dimensional cube.

He then turned to the tens of thousands of cavalry staring at him. In front of their eyes, he went to his knees.

However, before he could bow, one of the knights on the mount moved and held him by the shoulder. They clearly didnʼt want him to bow.

Though he couldnʼt speak or show emotions simply because he was made of lightning, Klaus could tell he was smiling at him. No words were spoken out loud, but Klaus understood them as if sharing a connection.

”I understand. In that case, allow me to send you guys away the proper way this time.” The Starbound Bow appeared in his grip.

It was the same bow that accompanied him in his life as Knox.

He pulled the bowstring, unleashing a powerful arrow that turned into a large unicorn worthy of being the mount of a leader. It moved across the horizon and then exploded in fireworks.

In response to this display, the cavalry also gave one final salute.

They jammed their spears into the ground three times.

Despite being in the air, the sound of their weapons striking the ground filled the space, generating enough force that it pulled the cracks shut as if they had never appeared.

”We will meet one day. Until then, rest well, brothers. Sisters.” Klaus snapped his fingers, and like firewood, the bodies of every last cavalryman and their mounts exploded into tribulation runes.

”This...”

Klaus, who wasnʼt expecting this, stumbled back and fell on his butt as the runes glided through the air and started entering his body.

Tears flowed from his eyes as he couldnʼt hold his emotions back anymore.

He was deeply touched by this gesture, which caused his tears to flow as his eighth soul egg and core formed, and the ninth also started.

When the last rune entered his body, seven doors closed inside his soul sea. But by then, his 9th core had formed, and he had broken through to the Transcendent stage.

This meant his tribulation ended abruptly.

However, since he was still in it, the heavens, who had just lost a tribulation level, roared to life as they continued with his transcendent tribulation instead of ending the sovereign one.

Klaus was pulled into the 5th level of the Thunder Domain tribulation. However, instead of the usual level where he would fight a lightning leviathan, he was now faced with a knight holding a large sword.

It wasnʼt too hard to determine that this knight was at the 8th level of the Void stage.

Klaus, however, didnʼt even bother with it and just tapped his hand. This time, both the orange and the white dragons appeared.

The white one was his second flame, the Soul Fury Flame.

”Fury, Nirvana... You will do most of the work from here onwards.” The two, understanding their master, charged at the knight, who was only able to swing his sword once before he was shattered into runes.

Though the heavens had made the tribulation much more difficult now, Klaus wasnʼt the same anymore, and neither were his flame elements.

When the nine doors opened, they absorbed a rather large sum of star qi, so their strength had already entered levels comparable to a Void stage being.

The heavens didnʼt know when to quit, so they pulled him into the 6th level, where he had to fight a gate guardian like the ones he fought when he took the tower tribulation.

”They never learn.”

The two dragons charged at the gate guardian, who was guarding the gate to something the heavens clearly shouldnʼt have brought into this tribulation.

It took less than a minute for the heavens to realize they had messed with the wrong brat. But by then, it was already too late.

Klaus didnʼt even bother to do anything. His dragons were doing all the work.

The event that led to his sudden level-up occurred because he remembered a part of his life as Knox. When his fury was getting the best of him, those memories were triggered, causing him to continue going through them at that moment.

The heavens clearly shouldnʼt have made him angry, as, in any case, he wouldnʼt have wiped an entire level of tribulation off forever.

Now, the heavens wouldnʼt be able to use the Thunder Domain tribulation with the Thunder Cavalry level anymore. Klaus had taken that off.

The gate guardian died, and Klaus entered the 8th level. This time, he stood up and looked at the figure that appeared.

”Matin Guan,” Klaus muttered, staring at the first human he killed in this life.

The brat who wanted to steal and have his way with Anna, causing Klaus to kill him, had appeared again, this time as a peak Void stage being.

”Kill him.”

The dragons responded, and within five minutes, they had dealt with him. Klaus didnʼt waste time and quietly entered the 9th level.

However, what greeted him was a figure that made his blood run cold.

”A real dragon.”
