With this, William stood at the threshold—just one step away from breaking into the Genesis Law Realm: Comprehension Stage.
The previous tribulation had been devastating, but it was rely a prelude.
Now, only one final heavenly trial remained.
The Genesis Law Realm Tribulation—the highest and most destructive of all lightning tribulations—lood above.
William didn't smile. He didn't relax. Instead, he stood tall, his eyes now open and expression grave. The mont the eighth tribulation ended, he had risen from his ditative posture, still floating in mid-air.
He looked skyward, toward the dark, divine thunderclouds above—now so black, they seed to devour even the light around them. And then, a new phenonon erged.
Sothing no one could ignore.
Sothing cosmic.
A vast outline began to take shape within the thunderclouds, visible to every being across the Origin Planet.
At first, it looked like a vague distortion in the darkness...But then it beca unmistakable.
An eye—colossal, ancient, and closed—ford inside the storm.
The pressure across the entire world intensified instantly. The air turned violent, as if reacting to a presence it couldn't withstand. Gravity fluctuated wildly—at one mont unbearably dense, the next mont gone entirely, like gravity itself had been erased from existence.
Chunks of land cracked, rose from the surface, and hovered unnaturally.
From the clouded heavens, bolts of lightning began to fall in constant bombardnt, striking anything and everything, forming a storm of unceasing destruction that scorched and shattered nearly 5% of the Origin Planet's surface.
Even mbers of the Void Fleet, stationed hundreds of kiloters beyond the danger zone, felt a primal fear claw at their hearts. Many instinctively pulled back further, unwilling to stay within reach of the celestial wrath unfolding before them.
The giant eye continued forming, and with a soul-piercing crack, the lid split open—
—and the Eye stared down.
Its sclera was pitch black.
Its iris—a deep, unnatural red—pulsed with a primal judgnt so ancient and powerful that it shook the soul of everyone standing there.
It wasn't just William who felt its gaze. Every single person present felt it too, as though the eye wasn't rely watching William, but watching them all. A strange, eerie sensation gripped them—one that whispered that this eye didn't just observe…it judged. And it judged them not as individuals, but as if they were one with him.
Even the entire Void fleet, assembled in full might, felt that collective weight—an ancient force peering through their very essence. It wasn't just vision; it was scrutiny. And it reached far beyond the battlefield.
On the Origin Plate, the two ancient existences stirred.
The Tree of Infinity, nestled within the central zone of the Endless Front, and the Heavenly Mountain, deep within the heart of the Endless Peaks—both felt the eye's presence. And not just them. Every living beast, every entity caught in the eye's direct line—those made of lightning, spirit, or flesh—shuddered.
Because they all understood, at so instinctive level:
They were being judged.
All but a few.
Only Kallus, his mother, Luna, and their companions remained composed—though even they felt the edge of its pressure. Luna, unusually frightened, had hidden behind Kallus, her golden eyes cautiously peeking at the single eye in the sky. But the eye wasn't focused on her.
It was looking at William. And only William.
As for the others—why they felt as if they were being judged, even though the gaze was clearly not on them? That was simply the nature of it.
The Eye of Heavenly Judgnt did not need to see you to judge you. Its presence alone was enough to stir the deepest threads of creation, to awaken fear buried in the soul. Because it was born from the core of sothing primal—sothing that had shaped them all.
Even if it wasn't looking at you—It was.
anwhile, he stood alone in the sky, facing it directly.
The primal aura pouring from that celestial eye was unlike anything he had ever felt. His body tensed. His soul trembled. But he did not step back.
Instead, William responded by unleashing his full cultivation—his Thunder God Physique roaring to life, his power churning like a sun under pressure.
He could already feel it.
This final tribulation… was different.
No—it was unlike anything before.
Just from the pressure alone, William could tell that this was on a completely different scale compared to the previous eight trials. The aura released from that Judgnt Eye surpassed even the divine dragons, thunder knights, and legendary weapons that had co before.
This wasn't a test.It was a divine execution.
And yet—William did not falter.
Instead, he prepared himself. He was ready to unleash 200% of his power—not to survive, but to pass through this final tribulation and ascend to the Genesis Law Realm.
With a sharp exhale, William released his full aura.
His cultivation blazed like a raging star, his body glowing as his inner world surged with lightning. The divine thunder energy surrounding him compressed around his fra, forming a radiant suit of armor, arcs of gold and blue lightning dancing across his body.
Raising his right hand skyward, he clenched his fist—not to grasp air, but to summon his greatest weapon.
In a crackle of thunder and flash of divine energy, a spear materialized.
It shimred with sheer destructive majesty—its shaft forged from solidified lightning, glowing with a shimring gold, and wreathed in arcing plasma. Just below the spearhead, a ring rotated slowly, surrounded by five tiny spires, like floating seals containing chaotic power. The spear looked like it was crafted by the heavens themselves.
This was no ordinary weapon.
It was the Thunder God Spear, a divine weapon forged for him—personally gifted by his own son, Kallus. A spear that could pierce the heavens themselves.
And in the sky above…
The Judgnt Eye stirred.
Crimson lightning flickered through the black clouds. The arcs of thunder intertwined, and the eye's iris began to glow with ominous red light.
Within ten seconds, the iris could no longer be seen——because it was completely consud by a gathering mass of destructive lightning.
And then—the heavens struck.
With a thunderous clap that silenced the world, the Judgnt Eye fired a beam of pure annihilation, a divine lance of red lightning crashing down toward William. It carved through the atmosphere and space itself, tearing through every barrier of reality as if cutting through paper.
But William was ready.
He had been tracking every microsecond of movent through his Divine Sense, and the instant the beam reached the boundary of his perception—
—he moved.
Standing his ground in the sky, he bent his legs, spread his stance, and pulled his spear back like a javelin thrower preparing the ultimate strike.
His eyes narrowed.
His body surged with blinding power.
And then, in a whisper that cracked the air, he muttered:
"True Annihilation Series: Ultimate Skill – Heaven pierce."
With a roar that shattered the sound barrier, William hurled the Thunder God Spear skyward, putting everything behind it—his mana, his strength, his will, his soul.
The spear scread through space, a golden cot of destruction, carving through air and ti alike. It wasn't just a weapon—it was his very essence, concentrated into a strike ant to defy divine judgnt itself.
High above, the Judgnt Beam descended like a divine execution.And from below, William's Heaven pierce rose to et it.
And then—
Impact.
A shockwave exploded from the point of collision, creating ripples of gravity, sonic booms, and spatial rifts that tore through the sky in every direction.
Reality itself warped as the two divine forces fought for supremacy.
The Judgnt Eye pushed harder, unleashing more power.William pushed back, his spear burning with a true annihilation aura, tearing through the beam particle by particle.
Then—The spear began to pierce deeper.Slowly.Inevitably.
The beam cracked, and with one final push—
William's spear broke through.
The beam was split in two, blasted apart like shattered glass, and the Thunder God Spear continued unhindered—racing upward, straight toward the Judgnt Eye.
Above, two residual strikes from the Eye—beams that had missed their target—slamd into distant parts of the Eldest Forest Region, scarring the outer landscape of the Origin Planet. Their destruction was vast, but William had made sure no innocents were hard.
But now...
Now the Eye itself was under attack.
William's Heaven pierce shot straight toward the divine shield surrounding the eye and collided head-on. There was a faint resistance—like pushing into reality itself—but the spear's annihilation energy devoured the shield, layer by layer.
Then——it pierced the Eye.
The celestial construct let out a primordial cry, shaking the entire sky as the clouds trembled and spiraled into collapse.
The Judgnt Eye cracked.Then splintered.Then—
Shattered.
The clouds above dissipated with a final, thunderous roar.The tribulation was over.
William remained hovering in the sky, silent, his armor crackling with the remnants of power.
His gaze stayed fixed above, where the divine clouds once lood.
They were gone.
And he had endured the final trial.
He had passed the Genesis Law Realm Heavenly Tribulation.
