Davis refined the Sky Word Emperor's heavenly factor.
He hastened the process, not hesitating to use more soul force to refine it, but he frowned lightly as he saw that his refinement of desolate heavenly spacetime wasn't going as well as his refinement of desolate heavenly lightning.
Even for the Celestial Transcendent and the twelve Paragon Magical Beasts' heavenly factors, he wasn't able to refine desolate heavenly spacetime with life energy. He could only throw them into the life ring and shroud them in life energy in order to retain them from being dispersed for the time being.
He looked up with his pupils ever so lightly.
The low rumbling of the tribulation clouds echoed incessantly in preparation to send the next wave.
However, Davis knew it would take nearly a minute and a half for the third wave to descend since the second wave took that much time. It was as though the heavens didn't plan ahead who it was going to send for it to take this long instead of nine seconds, allowing him to set up a spirit formation for the second wave previously.
Now he had more time to put up a spirit formation and also work on refining the desolate heavenly spacetime energy.
Davis didn't hesitate anymore. He sacrificed five percent of his soul essence, instantly boosting his soul force's prowess to twenty-six levels higher from twenty-four levels higher. He clasped his hand and made hand signs with his finger before making the sign that corresponded to the wolf.
His reincarnation wheel instantly spun fast and rumbled, manifesting Nadia's image of a Death Springs Nether Wolf.
His soul split into three and covered the eye of the storm from three different directions.
Three Davis raised their hands and began casting tens of runes each second, the movement of their hands nearly being illusory. Multiple types of energies were woven into the runes, and they fused into a spirit formation slowly but surely.
Darkness runes that conceptualized cease and drained, death runes that embodied bleakness and soul death, spatial runes that restricted and oppressed, and last but not least- judgment runes to return the favor from being attacked by the first wave and second wave.
Davis swallowed the blood that swelled up in his throat for the third time.
The Sky Word Emperor's last runic attack, filled with Heart Intent, wasn't easy to defend against, despite how he grinned as though he had won easily. It had shattered a bit of his soul essence and injured his soul sea, making him feel like his head was burning.
He felt that it was amazing that the Sky Word Emperor only had a bit of time, yet quickly came up with a method to harm him and seal him. It wasn't like he underestimated the Sky Word Emperor either, so he still managed to be awed.
"Amazing…" Nadia uttered from the heavenly water lake.
It was the second time she was seeing Davis using her doppelganger species technique, as he used it the first time to set up a formation to deal with the second wave. However, it seemed like he wasn't able to use it fully, as they were not invincible and would disappear when attacks fell on them.
When the Sky Word Emperor appeared and used runes to destroy Davis's Spirit Formation, they also disappeared like they were the wind.
"Wait… this still isn't the final wave?" Nyoran gawked, sensing the tribulation clouds still didn't leave.
She was absolutely horrified to realize it. She didn't want to stay here for even one more second, wanting to flee.
Quickly, within thirty seconds, Davis created his spirit formation.
'The Sky Word Emperor is the creator of the Sky Word Language. Even if the Boundless Formation Sage were to be here, he could forget about winning, as his runic formations would be easily unraveled by the Sky Word Emperor. As for the one who's going to appear in the third wave, I doubt they could do something like that. My energy is more powerful, so my spirit formation should restrict the third wave, allowing me to instantly shatter them, refine, breakthrough and still have enough time to escape.'
He looked at his creation and nodded with self-appreciation, feeling like he wasn't bad pared to Myria, Sophie, Yotan, or the others at the moment, as he had created such a plex spirit formation.
It was still an Immortal Emperor Spirit Formation, but due to his terrifying soul force, it might even take out a weakened Level One Exalt if they had previously done some wrongs against him.
After setting up the Judgment Spirit Formation, Davis looked smug as he looked at the clouds.
"Hehe, it's time I started judging you…"
He didn't dally and started finding a refining method to refine the desolate heavenly spacetime energy still locked down by him in the air.
'Hmm… think… think… spacetime energy is a fusion of space energy and time energy, meaning it is generated in or on top of the layers of space and also enpasses the invisible sea of time. To refine layers and the unseen flow of time, that is not something life energy could do alone. It needs something that can hold and subsume the multiple layers of space and time…'
'Should I try a fusion of darkness and life? No, they aren't innately patible. Space and life energy? It might work… but I don't think it will work against desolate heavenly spacetime…'
Davis's brows squinted with a frown. If this were annihilative heavenly spacetime, perhaps his idea might've worked, but desolate heavenly spacetime was one more tier higher, not allowing him to easily refine it.
'Fuck it… I'll go for the bination of chaos energy and life energy...!'
He felt chaos was the only element in his arsenal that could incorporate or release both space and time.
Davis recalled how the Celestial Transcendent's chaos energy seamlessly incorporated with desolate heavenly factors and became a powerful prismatic chaos type energy that exuded tremendous strength in space and the soul.
Recalling it finely under the stimulation of his soul, he summoned chaos energy in his left hand and life energy on his right, and then attempted to repeat the same.
Using chaos energy like a paste, he imbued life energy with it and struck his palm against the floating motes of desolate heavenly spacetime energy.
The desolate heavenly spacetime energy motes were instantly enveloped by a thick, viscous white-purple-gray energy mist, which began swirling.
Davis focused on the refinement, trying to grind and mold them into wisps.
One wisp finally quickly popped out in the shape of a sphere, uniquely emboldened with a shiny translucent purple-silver surface. It radiated an enpassing power as though it could cause spacetime to freeze for some time.
The moment it appeared, Davis nearly jumped as he rejoiced.
"Success!"
He brought out the rest of the motes of desolate heavenly spacetime energy from his life ring and instantly enpassed all of them.
Due to his overbearing energy, the motes were quickly refined into desolate heavenly spacetime wisps, still leaving him time until the third wave descends.
"…"
Lucian watched his father steal heavenly factors from the tribulation clouds with a dumbfounded expression.
'Father really isn't afraid of offending anything or anyone…'
He had his fair share of encounters with his heavenly tribulation and the fear it imbued in him, but for the first time, he felt this was silly yet at the same time awe-inspiring beyond pare.
His father was showing him that invincible heavens were not unbeatable and that they need not fear their tribulations as they advance.
"Lucian, how is the bath?"
Davis finally had some luxury to look down and ask, as he was over with his refinement, leaving him five seconds until the third wave.
"Exquisite, father. If we weren't in this place, I would want to stay here for a year."
"Haha! Good. This experience is also good for you, as you wouldn't even feel a bit of pressure in your next tribulation."
"I guess so…?" Lucian was unsure.
After all, the pure and awarding Heavenly Water Tribulation flooded his senses with warmth and nurturing, partly canceling out this tribulation's frightening aura.
"Master," Illumina's voice echoed, "I sense multiple surges of power in the distance. I imagine that they aren't sparing anything and burning their blood essence to reach you quickly. I'll go intercept them."
"…" Davis's expression churned, "Of course, they probably know this would be the only chance they would get to seal me. How confident are you in dealing with them, Illumina?"
"Zero, but I can hold them for long with my species techniques." Illumina confidently said.
"…" Davis was speechless but nodded, knowing that an Alpha Exalt would have trouble dealing with an Omega Exalt at the same level due to the difference in the prehension of Laws.
"Then I'll leave it to-"
He barely finished his words, and the thirty-two Illuminas surrounding him disappeared from his gaze, her speed insane that he couldn't even perceive which direction she went if not for the change in the wind that hit him in the face later.
*Rumble!~*
A low rumble echoed across the heaven and earth. The desolate lighting and spacetime strike that converged within the eye of the tribulation clouds began to descend.
A giant humanoid figure who looked like an absolute deity descended with twelve wings. He possessed a long spear, its tip wreathed in desolate heavenly factors, while his smoldering negative-white eyes locked onto Davis.
When he descended, spacetime engulfed the skies and pletely separated the view from below, only leaving Nadia and Lucian within the Heavenly Water Tribulation. The two of them were shocked and finally felt their hearts leap into their throat from the pure pressure descending on them from the Desolate Heavenly Tribulation.
'No way… a Twelve-Winged Seraphim!?' Lucian's pupils trembled in shock.
Lucian had heard from hearsay that the Seraphim Galaxy's ruler was a powerful Eight-Winged Seraphim. It was insane that his father was facing a twelve-winged one that he had never heard about!
