Kingly Adventures

Chapter 108: Strange and Shocking Tribulations

On a desolate planet in the origin verse, a gigantic golden gate was standing on the surface of the planet. There was a massive city constructed around the gate. Millions of people could be seen moving towards the golden gate or arriving at the city through the gate. Even a fool could tell that the gate lead somewhere. Oddly enough, the people arriving or leaving bowed towards the western direction.

There was a massive silver dragon sitting on a very high mountain whose peak was seemed to be cut off to form a platform. The dragon seemed to be sleeping but every cultivator would be able to tell that the dragon was cultivating and the amount of energy that the dragon was absorbing from the surroundings was so great that they would not be even able to measure it even if they tried. The dragon was so large that only his head could be seen and gave off  a very oppressive aura. The dragon was Alexander and he was advancing his bloodline right now. 

Suddenly the sky darkened and very massive bolts of lightning could be seen gathering in the clouds. Strangely, the clouds were concentrated above the mountain on which Alexander was cultivating. The cultivators in the city stopped whatever they were doing and turned to look at their emperor. Alexander opened his eyes and spoke, " So the tribulation has arrived."

Alexander knew that he would undergo a heavenly tribulation when his bloodline advancement  would be complete. The tribulation was summoned because he was not a natural born chaos dragon and had evolved into one. A chaos dragon was a favoured child of the heavens or the world laws. The world laws were now testing Alexander to know whether he was worthy of their favour or not.  The clouds rumbled and Alexander saw that all the lightning gathered over him.

The clouds were not making any sounds anymore and there was an unnatural stillness all around the mountain. Alexander mentally prepared himself for his tribulation and roared loudly towards the clouds in challenge. His roar was so loud that the earth surrounding the mountain developed deep trenches and the parts of the mountain also crumbled into dust. The clouds rumbled more loudly than Alexander and suddenly a 4 feet thick lightning bolt struck Alexander's massive body. Alexander felt a massive amount of lightning qi rampaging through his body. Alexander's body was strong enough to come out unharmed so he started to absorb the qi. Alexander felt his body growing even stronger  than before.

Alexander smirked and looked towards the sky in mockery. The clouds rumbled furiously and in the next moment, 12 massive bolts of lightning struck his body simultaneously. For the first time, Alexander cursed the increased size of his body. The lightning qi was right now was frying him from inside out. Alexander's innate adaptive ability was working overtime to make his body adapt. Alexander had enough king's might to supply it for months as his subjects had conquered tens of quadtrillions of worlds in the origin verse.

Alexander sighed in relief as his body rapidly adapted to this cheating move of the tribulation and smiled gleefully as all the lightning qi was again absorbed making his body tens of times stronger. Alexander looked  towards the sky in bewilderment as the tribulation clouds had not dispersed yet. Alexander watched as the clouds rumbled and this time bright red coloured bolts started gathering in the sky. Alexander prepared himself for this round of tribulation.

When the first bolt struck his body, Alexander felt his body being invaded by a scorching fire qi, Alexander was once again subjected to the feeling of being burned from inside out. After a few minutes, Alexander was able to overcome the qi and absorbed it inside his body. Alexander felt his connection to the fire element strengthening even more. Alexander laughed gleefully but his laugh was cut off in mid-way as he saw multiple bright red bolts coming down towards him.

Alexander cursed the world laws to hell for taking such a test. The tribulation was still going on and Alexander had been struck with dozens of qi bolts. First came the lightning after that bolts of fire qi, water qi, earth qi, wind qi and metal qi. After that Alexander saw the clouds disappearing and took a sigh of relief but his relief was cut short when bigger and darker clouds started gathering, even the city was covered by them. Alexander immediately ordered all his subjects to leave the planet for other nearby conquered planets.
