Chapter 1170: One Hell of a Tribulation

Meanwhile, Alex had finished his training and stood in outer space, ready to face the Tribulation for the next realm.

Alex activated his Spirit Eyes and Spirit Crown at the same time while maintaining his Dragon Aura and Phoenix Aura. This was something unprecedented before. Even his past self didn't know anything about what would come to him.

As he closed his eyes, he could feel something start moving. His skin suddenly felt heat brushing his body as the temperature continued rising up.

Alex opened his eyes again and looked to the right, finding a Fire Disturbance that gradually became a star trying to hit him.

"..." Alex narrowed his eyes and raised his hand. Despite the terrible heat, this fire didn't make him feel hot at all. His Sun God Fire had been protecting him this whole time while Alex was collecting his focus.

When the Fire Disturbance was about to shoot, he channeled all his energy into his hand and infused that energy into the Fire Disturbance, controlling the star itself.

"Star God Divine Control."

Alex quickly took out his Sword and Spear, covering them with this Fire Disturbance. Instead of facing the first Disturbance head-on, Alex just used it to his own advantage.

The newborn Fire Disturbance had no choice other than to submit to Alex's control and the first stage should be over.

As one would expect, the moment the first one finished, Alex found the next Disturbance. It was none other than Water Disturbance. Surprisingly, this Water Disturbance dispersed to millions of droplets scattered in the surroundings.

But there was one thing that could be distinguished from this Disturbance. It was the fact that all droplets had a cone shape, facing Alex.

If Alex were to remain not moving, his body would surely be pierced by this power, albeit he knew it better than anyone else. Raising both hands, he summoned two dragons that enveloped him from all directions, including the top and bottom.

"Swallowing Heaven." Alex smiled. The Weapon Spirits planned to use the dragons' bodies to administer the heat from Alex's Sun God Fire, evaporating those droplets before it hit Alex.

However, Alex might have underestimated his power the moment he turned his energy into Immortal Energy. The heat released by his Sun God Fire became even stronger and started evaporating the droplets before he intended.

"Seriously?" Alex widened his eyes when he saw the effect. He couldn't help but smile, saying, "I'm lucky to have this Fire. And with my Law, I can somehow turn all the Fire Energy in the area to create a chain of heating stoves because the fire energy "happens" to be there."

Feeling threatened by Alex's power, the Universe sent its second tribulation, piercing the dragons' bodies. As expected, even if he had an elemental advantage, fighting water was easier said than done.

The dragons managed to evaporate all those droplets, but he soon realized that the dragons gradually shrunk at a visible rate.

He checked the situation again with the Spirit Eyes and found that the energy should last until the end unless something big happened.

But to his surprise, he felt the temperature decreased uncontrollably to the point it tried to freeze his own Sun God Fire. Looking left and right, Alex couldn't find the cause, wondering if the Universe controlled the energy around him.

However, the cause came into his vision not long after he raised his vision. A giant chunk of ice appeared above his head and already made its way toward him.

"Kh! Seriously?" Alex clenched his teeth and channeled his power into his sword, swinging it upward.

Rumbling sounds began to echo as cracks appeared on the ice's surface. The next second, the ice had been split in half.

But his challenge had yet to end. Due to the decrease in temperature, his Dragons had a bad time. Alex channeled his energy and created a giant ball of fire. Yes, it was none other than his Fire Disturbance that was called by the Star God Divine Control.

The moment it appeared, the ice and water began to evaporate.

"To think I would need to face two Disturbances at the same time..." Alex shook his head in surprise before asking himself, "Why? I never heard anything about two Disturbances or Tribulation at the same time. Did I just surpass the human's boundary? No, no. It's not logical to think this way.

"Instead, I should focus on the Disturbances first." He furrowed his eyebrows, feeling something weird about the two Disturbances. And it was at that time he realized what was going on. The second wave of his tribulation was to summon those droplets and attack him without a care.

When all of them were released, without waiting for Alex to eliminate all of them, the third tribulation appeared. It meant the second tribulation had actually finished when it shot the droplets. This was why he needed to face two Tribulations at the same time.

"To think it's like this..." Alex narrowed his eyes and added his Space Element to reinforce his two Dragons to prevent the water droplets from breaking through the defense.

Unfortunately for him, he needed to face the third wave. It turned out that the ice chunk he cut earlier had yet to end. Instead of disappearing, the ice turned around and went back together as if they fused together.

Alex looked at his own Fire Disturbance and swung his hand, controlling the Fire Disturbance to hit the strength.

"Star God Divine Control."

When the Fire Disturbance was about to clash with the Ice meteorite, Alex found that the ice and his Fire Disturbance got twisted once as if something appeared between them.

"Seriously? No wonder it's hard for people to pass this stage." Alex gasped as he realized the fourth wave of his Tribulation had come to kill him. Just like the water droplets that had yet to end, the fourth already started not long after the third wave 'finished', pressuring Alex for an action.

Within a split second, he understood what was going on. 'If I keep this up, I will be facing all the rest of Tribulation at the same time. In other words, I need to finish each of them as soon as possible... This is insane.'

Without waiting for Alex to finish his thought, the Space Tribulation suddenly twisted both the Fire Disturbance and Ice Meteoroid, making the Fire Disturbance fly past the meteoroid while the latter went straight toward him, covered by the Space Element. He could already feel and see the bending power in that meteoroid.

"They can even fuse?" Alex's eyebrows twitched as he looked at the meteoroid with an annoyed expression. Unfortunately, he couldn't waste more time and proceeded to deal with this type of attack.

He raised his hand and summoned a Black Hole on his palm while controlling his Fire Disturbance to turn around and hit the Ice from behind.

"Black Hole." Alex threw the Black Hole toward the ice meteoroid. When it clashed with the Space Element that covered the whole ice, the Black Hole caused a huge shock wave that shook the entire area. However, Alex had enough control and luck to absorb all the Space Element to end the fourth wave of his Tribulation.

Meanwhile, his Fire Disturbance was going to engulf this huge ice before it hit him. But to assure that nothing would happen next, Alex lifted his finger a bit and channeled his Space Element.

"Subjective Reality."

This technique influenced all the water droplets, making them turn around to hit the ice that tried to kill him. As one would expect, the water didn't do much to the ice before the latter froze them. The ice turned into a sea urchin right after, but that was enough for Alex because what he wanted to do was to confirm whether his attack would be able to destroy it or not.

Unfortunately for him, the next wave had appeared again. This time, it turned out to be an Earth Disturbance.

And yeah, what could you expect from an Earth Disturbance other than a meteor. However, unlike the Ice, this one was significantly bigger to the point Alex began to doubt whether he could pass this because what was thrown at him was the size of a Lower World.

"Oi, oi. Are you joking with me? There is a limit to this, no?" Alex clenched his teeth and looked back at the third tribulation, the ice.

The Fire Disturbance and the Ice had made a contact in which the Fire Disturbance began to swallow the ice, evaporating it into nothing. At least, he had enough time for the Earth Disturbance because he planned to handle the Ice First.

Before it hit him, Alex raised his hand and summoned four arrays in succession.

"Star Barrier." Alex used this time to fully stop the Ice with four barriers.

Crack.

Crack.

Cracking noises filled his ears as the Ice Disturbance began to destroy it one by one. As much as he hated to say it, this kind of tribulation was far stronger than Lin Xingzhi's techniques. After all, even Lin Xingzhi couldn't create large enough Disturbance to even form a Lower World.

Bam.

The Ice Disturbance finally stopped at the third barrier, numbing Alex's hand because he poured too much strength and effort to stop it.

The Fire Disturbance then swallowed the Ice as he could see inside the Fire Disturbance, the Ice Element began to disappear and shrunk at speed visible with naked eyes.

However, this turned out to be his worst option. When he was about to face the next tribulation and cut that Lower World like how he did it with his Eight Purities Slash or above, he found that it wasn't impossible anymore.

Even with his current strength that seemed to be possible to cut with Seven Purities Slash, Alex knew that his attack would fail if he only threw an Eight Purities Slash.

After all, what he saw was the fact that this Lower World had been covered by lightning. And he couldn't just split it and say it's over since the Ice Tribulation had told him that it would get back together and hunt him down no matter what happened.

Unless he destroyed this Lower World to pieces or nothing, he would continue facing it. Yet, the time he needed to think about his action became another weapon that would eventually slice his throat.

The next tribulation already appeared. It was none other than the Wind Tribulation, releasing a huge tornado that increased the power and speed of the Lower World that had been covered by lightning.

He believed this attack was far more amazing than the beast's Gehenna Ray since he couldn't imagine if a planet suddenly hunted him down with several elements around it.

"Oi, oi! Is this truly a Tribulation? It's not the universe's will trying to kill me? Wait, that's the same!" Alex clenched his teeth and released everything.
