Chapter 528 Battle Through The Heavens
It was loud, loud enough that any who were near it would instantly lose their hearing, and it was strong and mighty. With enough power to obliterate entire planets.
The thundering booms of the Divine Tribulation were too powerful, comparing them to the Thunderclaps of the Heavenly Tribulation is nothing short of a joke.
If the Heavenly Tribulation is meant to test a cultivator\'s worthiness to reach the next realm. The Divine Tribulation is meant to stop a cultivator from staying in the current realm.
The power difference is significantly incomparable. Since the first is meant to aid and assist, while the second is meant to destroy.
But for Shen Bao, this whole ordeal, looked nothing more than another day in his usual life.

Looking above me, the whole area turned dark, I couldn\'t even see the stars of the nearest galaxies, it was nothing but darkness, with the occasional spark here and there of thunder.
As loud as they may be, they were still not as loud as the beating heart of the Primordial Serpent God.
Still it was annoying, so the moment my eardrums burst, I didn\'t care enough to heal them.
At the edge of my vision I saw a group of cultivators who were rushing toward me, but the appearance of the Divine Tribulation was enough to chase them away.
But this thing up here isn\'t looking too friendly.
I\'ve faced many tribulations but this one is actually giving me the heebie-jeebies.
Still…
The first thunderbolt manifested and struck down with enough force to tear apart the very fabric of space itself. Dodging was out of the question this thing would just curve and come at me, and that\'s even worse.
Since it will take time for it to reach me, another bolt will come toward me by the time I dodge.
So, I did what every sane cultivator would do. And took the bolt head on.
I raised my palm up, and the bolt ripped through it like a sword through flesh, sending endless torrents of electric might surging through my body, bursting veins and burning flesh as it crossed.
I almost died with the first bolt, and many more were soon to come. But…
I clasped my burnt fist and the scorched skill simply flew off in space as if it was nothing but dust in the wind. New flesh had already grown from underneath the damaged skin.
More bolts came down, and more pain followed, but with nothing but the regeneration of the Poison God\'s Path of the Body, I was easily able to repair everything that was harmed.
As if provoked, since I didn\'t seem to feel any of the bolts nor worry about the impacts of the incoming lightning strikes, the heavens made sure to make its stance known, by coiling three bolts of lightning together to send in a more powerful and more penetrative This one might hurt… but not me.
I galvanized my Qi to prepare for impact. Both my fists surged in a bolt towards me.
This one might hurt… but not me.
I galvanized my Qi to prepare for impact. Both my fists surged in a seemingly endless amounts of Qi creating a gauntlet of pure energy.
"Fist of Roaring Ki, Fists of Eternal Gold!"
The veins on my neck burst in eternal fury, showing the surge of blood and Qi that was happening in my body, as both my fists clenched tighter and tighter as more Qi was rotating within them.
Just before the bolt made it halfway to me, I sent two hooks forward, throwing the gathered Qi forward, and sending the Qi gauntlet as if it was a freight train forward, booming with the sound of destruction as it crossed space to come in contact with the reinforced thunderbolt.
The thunderbolt and the gauntlet of gold connected midway, creating an explosion large enough to echo through this part of space, and a blast of light and sound that resembles the destruction of a nebula.
Before the energy would even start to dissipate, the second gauntlet reached and reinforced the first, shattering the entirety of the thunderbolt as the two fists surged up toward the clouds.
Not one to wait, I galvanized even more Qi, and sent another couple fists forward, then four more, then eight and so on, sending blow after blow forward, destroying the bolts as they were being formed.
For a moment, I felt as if both my arms were like the muzzles of a minigun as they were sending impact upon impact of pure Qi fueled by the Qi of the Poison God\'s Path and the energy from the Blood of the Primordial Serpent God.
The clouds which seemed to be the harbingers of the end were being eradicated bit by bit as the light from the Eternal Gold Fists were breaking them apart.
This Tribulation offers no awards, its only purpose is to destroy, so why must I suffer it, I\'ll just destroy it.
As more of the fists of the Eternal Gold bore through the clouds, reducing their volume.
But as if it gotten enraged at my retaliation, more clouds began gathering out of nowhere.
"I suppose I\'ll have to up the damage, since you\'re so considerate to powerup yourself."
My Qi began spiraling as it gave more vigor to every part and bit of my body. Surging above and beyond the human limits to form and reform my body growing to a massive size.
The Titan form helped me grow in size, and gave me access to far superior abilities on the expense of my Qi, but, coupled with the energy generated from the Golden Blood of the serpent god, I was easily able to bypass that issue to make the Qi waste negligible.
More and more fists of Qi surged forward, in far more destructive power and might as now with each gauntlet the echoes and blasts would rip the clouds apart revealing bits and pieces of the space beyond them.
For now it felt as I was overpowering the Divine Tribulation, but I knew for sure, that it wouldn\'t be this easy.
And it never is.
Soon the black clouds began thinning, but not in disappearing, but in condensing, it seems that phase two is about to start…
