Chapter 1171 - Immortal Stage
Alex couldn"t help but shake his head. Just after he defeated the annoying Ice Tribulation, he needed to face something like this. It wasn"t the combination of two Tribulations anymore. Instead, there were three and each of them were stronger than the ice.
Alex gritted his teeth and knew that he needed to use a few techniques at once to destroy this. He thought, "There is around one minute before the next Tribulation begins since the wind tribulation just came. So, I have precisely one chance."
"Eve, Elle, Eliot, control the dragons to swallow all the things left by a destruction later," Alex commanded the trio while using the Swallow Heaven to summon two dragons.
At the same time, his sword had been covered by all of his nine powers. He raised his sword and slashed downwards.
The s.p.a.ce Element began to oscillate back and forth, forging a path for the sword strike to hit the Lower World. Meanwhile, his flame clashed with the lightning, trying to burn it as a whole. The same applied to his s.p.a.ce Element that tried to distort the wind.
The rest of his power went straight to the Lower World as a huge shock wave due to their collision shook the surroundings, forcing a few planets to go off their orbits.
Alex paid no heed to them and focused on the Lower World instead, finding it was split into two and pa.s.sing him from two sides.
Without waiting for the Lower World to get together again, Alex summoned a huge fire lotus above his head.
"Go!" Alex waved his hand and all the petals flew away, striking the Lower World from all directions. "Divine Petals."
The Petals exploded and each of them caused a huge chunk of rocks to shatter into smaller pieces.
The Weapon Spirits quickly controlled the dragons and swallowed all that came to their way like Alex"s order.
Not satisfied with the current performance, a huge array appeared beneath the shattered Lower World.
"Ten Thousand Sword Formation Array!" Alex summoned many swords and coated them with his Blade Qi. Normally, these swords were used to bind someone, but Alex used them for another purpose by coating them with the Sharp Blade Qi.
All ten thousand Swords flew toward the Lower World and shattered it into pieces. This was when a Fire Disturbance appeared, trying to melt all those rubbles away while the rest were swallowed by the dragons.
"Star G.o.d Divine Control." Alex used that Fire Disturbance and began swallowing the Lower World as a whole, only to find the Wind Disturbance had yet to end. The extraordinary heat turned the weak wind into a fire tornado, heading straight toward him.
Alex furrowed his eyebrows and planned to use his s.p.a.ce Element to disperse them, but he was shocked when he couldn"t even move his body. "Huh?"
Green-colored energy started coming into his vision as Alex realized he was trapped by the next disturbance. And to think the next one was the most unique Tribulation he would ever face. After all, the eighth wave of Tribulation was none other than Time Disturbance.
The Disturbance suspended time for a split second before Alex covered his body with Fire and s.p.a.ce Element. The s.p.a.ce Element turned into a kind of protective suit that bent all the Time Energy around him, allowing Alex to move at the same speed.
Meanwhile, his Fire burned all the Time Energy around him to end this eighth wave of Tribulation.
Still, as expected from the weirdest element in the Universe, the time element, it was harder to burn it altogether. After all, the Time Element tried to suspend the Fire from burning it, forcing Alex to take a bit more time to destroy it.
And with him trapped inside a kind of sphere that was filled with Time Energy, he couldn"t go outside. He had tried to make a Spatial Gate to the other side, but the s.p.a.ce World was also getting suspended in time, so he didn"t want to risk it.
Unfortunately for him, the ninth tribulation had come when he just finished burning half of them. His enemy this time was none other than Light Element.
He had fought Licht a few times, so he thought he had grasped the Light Element, but it simply went beyond his imagination.
The light element turned into a star-shaped white light that shone upon this dark outer s.p.a.ce. It became bigger and bigger as it flew toward Alex before surprisingly turning around, positioning itself on top of Alex"s head.
Because of the Time Element, he couldn"t escape from this predicament and needed to deal with it with the best of his power, so he could face the last Elemental Disturbance properly.
The white light then released a circular light toward him as if it was trying to purify him. Alex obviously understood what this light wanted to do to him.
"This is going to be bad." Alex narrowed his eyes and knew that the Time Element also suspended this kind of light, meaning that the Light Element would be concentrated right above him. The moment he finished burning all the Time Element, the light would fall on him in full power.
He hurriedly released all his power to burn the Time Energy above his head, yet, it didn"t end very well. Below his spot, he could see a huge black hole forming. Unlike the normal black hole, this one didn"t have a sucking force. Instead, it seemed to be storing all the energy in its surroundings, planning to release it soon.
"I need to handle both of them at the same time?" Alex narrowed his eyes and shook his head, planning to destroy the Light Element first. Instead of waiting for the Time Element to disappear, Alex thrust his spear filled with his elements.
"Twin Fusion Spear."
The two elements worked with each other as the Fire emerged on the other side of the time sphere, allowing him to weaken the Light Energy from above. Unfortunately for him, the black sphere also released the same type of attack toward him, gathering right behind the Time Barrier.
If both of them attacked him at the same time, he had no doubt that he would fail. Hence, Alex took this one step further.
Without wasting his time, Alex released another strike toward the Light Element. Although he could only do it twice after converting all his Divine Energy into Immortal Energy, he needed to do it to succeed in this Tribulation.
"Nine Purities Slash."
The slash cut through the time barrier and split the attack into two, where his Fire began burning them down, so there wasn"t a possible come back.
Still, Alex was also amazed by the fact that the tenth or the last strike of the tribulation actually didn"t have that big of a difference with the previous one, though it still endangered his life.
After destroying the ninth wave, Alex proceeded to burn down all the Time Energy as he planned to face this Black Energy head-on.
"It"s time to settle this." Alex smirked and called a Fire Disturbance inside the Time Barrier to melt it even faster.
As expected from the Sun G.o.d Fire that was fueled by Immortal Energy, all its performance had gone through the roof this whole time.
Even his Nine Purities Slash couldn"t be compared to the previous one anymore. After all, that was the sole reason that Alex could slash three Disturbances at the same time.
When the Time Element was about to disappear a few minutes later, Alex waved his hand and summoned the Fire Lotus.
The petals flew toward the Dark Energy that was concentrated on the back while Alex faced against the suspended Dark Energy.
Since he couldn"t use his Nine Purities Slash anymore, he planned to do another thing. He didn"t know whether he could do it or not, but Alex raised his finger and controlled the s.p.a.ce Element.
"Subjective Reality."
A third of the Dark Energy suddenly jumped as if they had their own will. Surprisingly, it dove down and hit the rest of the attack, causing a chain of explosions.
The moment the Time Element disappeared, Alex"s Divine Petals quickly flew away while Alex slashed his sword and spear three times.
"Triple Draws."
"One Inch Spear."
The extended blade slashed the attack that remained only a third due to the explosions earlier and slashed it with ease. "I should have done it this whole time…"
Alex shook his head helplessly, knowing it was impossible. After all, the reason he had enough time to control them was the time barrier that suspended that attack and acc.u.mulated that much energy. If he were to fight against the Supreme Beast, only on a few occasions will he have enough time to do that.
Still, no matter what he thought, the Tribulation should be over since he didn"t meet any more Disturbances.
In fact, at the base of the Dark Energy, a huge amount of Immortal Energy burst out as if it tried to congratulate Alex for reaching the True Immortal Stage.
Alex remembered his previous life"s advice about this step. Just like when he reached Divine Rank, the world would bless him by sending its baptism to change Alex"s body and energy to Divine Body and Divine Energy.
And this universe also rewarded him with this huge amount of Immortal Energy that gradually moved toward his body as if he was a magnet.
"This…" Alex narrowed his eyes. With the help of his Law, he began absorbing all the energy around him and found that the energy was similar to the Spirit G.o.d"s Immortal Energy, making him a bit uncomfortable during the process.
"As long as I succeed in this step, I will be able to reach the Immortal Stage. Haiz, if I were to go for another journey, I would lose my motivation because the only reason I became a Divine Rank Expert was to find Alicia and Firia as well as Lin Xingzhi.
"But one accident after another, I ended up getting involved in this big scale inevitable war even though I didn"t wish for one. Well, this war also gave me the motivation to reach this level in a short time. As for reaching more than this… That"s the question in the future. I want to live to the fullest first before doing something out of the ordinary." Alex smiled and focused on his baptism.
This baptism was the first step to reach a higher level, but for Alex, this was the weapon that could defeat the beast.
Each skin started evaporating into nothing before getting replaced by another layer. His blood also revolved like crazy, dying and regenerating at a fast speed. His body went back and forth from pale to normal.
If his wives were here, they would wonder whether this guy had died or not. Even so, Alex cared nothing about it because he was sure he could succeed in this baptism.
After his body, the most important one that needed to be replaced was none other than his heart. The heart went into smoke as he died for a few seconds before a new heart made of fire appeared on his body, becoming a perfect house for Immortal Energy.
This looked like benefits, but Alex knew that the moment he exhausted his Immortal Energy, he had no choice other than to recover it in this Universe to avoid getting picked up by the Universe and expelled.
The Spirit G.o.d also had warned him about this. The only reason he accepted to become like this was due to the lack of knowledge about this.
After defeating the Supreme Beast, he was sure that no one would dare to pick a fight with him anymore since Alex had stepped beyond the G.o.d King Stage. Only fools would do something like that, but his physique alone might be enough to handle them because this was the true body.
After a long three months, Alex"s body had been reformed. His Immortal Energy had stabilized and his breathing had gotten its rhythm back.
His eyebrows twitched for a split second before Alex opened his eyes. There was another weird sense coming from those eyes that could send a s.h.i.+ver down one"s spine. This was the effect of Alex"s Immortal Energy.
And this also meant that Alex had finished his preparation for the last war.
