Chapter 1567: The Tribulation Strikes!

Huan had fallen into a dark world with no respite. He ran here and there but was unable to find any way out.

As time passed, his confidence began to dwindle, and his memories started to return.

'Is death this terrifying?'

Huan thought in his heart after remembering that he had died. He simply sat down, having no will to escape anymore.

Only the regret of not being able to avenge his family remained in his head, and soon the area turned even darker, which seemed impossible before.

After an unknown amount of time, Huan suddenly raised his eyes in surprise and found that it was no longer dark, but he was in a vast, endless space with no end in sight.

A curiosity appeared out of nowhere in his heart, and he stood up. It was as if his body was moving on its own when he walked forward.

He crossed an unknown distance in an unknown amount of time, but the space remained endless with no second being. He was again about to give up when the corner of his eyes suddenly caught a flicker.

He immediately focused in that direction, and three seconds later, the flicker reappeared. He hurriedly rushed toward it.

It seemed close, but the distance between him and the flicker remained the same despite traveling hundreds of thousands of miles. But for some reason, the idea of giving up didn't reappear in Huan's heart, and he kept trying to reach it.

After an unknown amount of time and crossing billions of miles on his feet, he reached the flicker. It was now only a hand away from him.

Huan extended his hands, trying to capture whatever it was. But his hands passed through the air and felt nothing.

Huan tried again and again, but the result remained the same. Whatever was causing the flicker seemed to be kept in another space-time, so he could only see it but was incapable of touching it.

An urgent expression appeared on his face as he tried to grab it. He seemed to have become a mindless man in his attempts.

After repeatedly touching nothing, the flicker suddenly stopped, and it no longer occurred.

AARGHHHH!

Huan suddenly crashed down with a heartbreaking scream. He seemed to have missed something extremely dear to him.

Like an idiot, he tried to grab it again and again while screaming from time to time.

What he didn't notice was the sudden appearance of his shadow, which looked nothing like him.

A few minutes later, Huan suddenly stopped and looked around him in confusion.

"Did I survive?" He mumbled and looked at himself.

The last scene he remembered was his regretfully dying, but after opening his eyes, he found himself in an endless white space. It was as if whatever happened moments ago was nothing but an illusion.

"How could it be someone weak like you?"

"Eh!"

Huan suddenly exclaimed in surprise when he heard the second unfamiliar voice.

"Who are you, and where am I?" He asked with a confused expression.

***

"Master, what do you think will happen?" The father asked his master, gesturing for his children to return.

The father was himself a Sacred Creator, but he had no confidence, looking at the scene before him. His planet had become a hub for the majority of Sacred Creators in the Sacred Dimension due to its proximity to the situation.

Huan was still unconscious while the creature had long turned into gas and seeped inside Huan through his pores. Huan's life level was rising at a rapid rate and finally crossed the threshold of the Sacred King cultivation level.

The next moment, the barrier around the planet disintegrated as if it were nothing. Even the Sacred Creators on the scene looked solemn. Despite their overwhelming power, they could feel their inferiority before the laws of the Sacred Dimension.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Even a little movement of the cloud seemed like a world-ending explosion. Thunder flashed from time to time, and once the clouds had gathered their momentum, the first thunderbolt fell.

Huan's physique didn't seem capable of facing the thunderbolt on its own, but when the bolt was about to hit, a dark barrier emerged out of nowhere.

Boom!

The bolt landed on the barrier and then dissipated after causing a loud explosion. The destructive power contained in the bolt was more than enough to destroy a galaxy, but the barrier around Huan remained unscratched.

Following that, a rain of thunderbolts fell on the barrier. At first, it remained erect like a wall, but as the numbers grew, it also started becoming overwhelmed.

Finally, the barrier gave up and cracked open. The bolt then landed on Huan's body one after another, causing his veins to rupture and charred skin to appear wherever it hit.

It seemed that Huan would fail in just the first round of tribulation, but the black smoke that had earlier seeped into his body suddenly started to rush out.

Hiss! Hiss!

It was as if they were alive snakes. They hissed and attacked the bolts. It seemed like the battle of David and the Goliath, with the thunderbolts being the Goliath and the black snakes being the former.

But the result surprised the three children as the black snakes immediately devoured the thunderbolts, and a few minutes later, the first round had come to an end.

Many black snakes formed out of smoke had dispersed, but many survived. They then returned to Huan's body through his pores.

The sky suddenly cleared, and the terrifying pressure affecting the space disappeared. But no one watching the scene spoke since it had only begun.

The first round of thunder tribulation was the weakest stage of the four, and Huan was already forced to use that energy to survive.

***

"He will survive, and the Sacred Dimension will usher in a new era."

The master finally spoke, and the content surprised the father. The remaining Sacred Creators on the scene also heard the statement, but the knowledgeable ones nodded since they agreed with the master's statement.

The father was surprised by the statement, but after thinking about the situation, he understood why his master came to that conclusion. He couldn't help but agree with the latter.
