Chapter 1239: Chapter 1238: Passing the Divine Calamity

Over the years, Yusuf Zuck had actually grown and matured, and it could even be said that he had become crafty.

He used to be unable to discern what kind of person Landyn Torres was, but after meeting again today, he realized that Landyn Torres was currently not his enemy, but definitely not his friend either.

As for the future, he didn’t know if Landyn Torres would become an enemy or a friend!

Of course, he also knew that to be friends with a super-strong being, you had to possess the strength to stand on equal footing with them. If you were seen as an ant in their eyes, what right did you have to be friends with them?

How could an ant be friends with a human? Even if they were friends, it would just be the person playing with you or keeping you as a pet!

In fact, what Landyn Torres said before he left had already made it clear that if Yusuf Zuck truly sought him out, he would treat Yusuf Zuck as a pet, promising to ensure his peace for a lifetime.

However, Yusuf Zuck’s character had been established since he was a child – he never relied on others for anything. There was nothing that could make him grovel, and no one he would beg or plead with.

When the legitimate sons of the Eight Great Families of the Heavenly Realm had chased him, he could have crushed Landyn Torres’s talisman token and called for his help, but he did not do so. That was his character: "I live and I die by my own hand, why should I ask for your help?"

If he asked for help, he would owe a tremendous debt of gratitude, and some debts are too great to repay, even with a life!

"When Fatty and I received the inheritance from the male and female masters of the White Cloud Monastery in the Immortal Realm, both masters left a message warning their inheritors to never go to the Heavenly Realm."

Yusuf Zuck did not understand what the Heavenly Realm was like and why the mention of it made everyone wary, but he knew the Heavenly Realm was a dragon’s den and a tiger’s cave – it could well be the ultimate destination of many people’s fates.

He did not return to Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, nor did he notify his family of his intention to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, because he did not want to worry them.

He left his position once again and continued to traverse the endless void, occasionally tearing through space and leaping to other planes.

His strength had now become god-like. With the power of fifty-four Blood Beads, he could dominate all worlds, except for the Heavenly Realm.

After walking for three years, no longer knowing which plane he had reached or where he was, he sat atop a mountain on a distant planet after leaving the plane where Hugh Zuck resided.

And he kept his distance from Hugh Zuck, also because he did not want to draw the attention of the people of the Heavenly Realm toward him.

He began his retreat, making final preparations, and also ready to attract the true tribulation of the gods!

Already fully accomplished as an Immortal Emperor of the Ninth Rank, he only needed to take one last step to automatically attract the ordained tribulations.

After calmly preparing for seven days and nights, he finally opened the third Eye of Heaven, piercing into the void!

"Buzz Buzz Buzz—" Wherever the third eye looked, it would explode, and he would rapidly absorb the energy, enhancing his Nascent Soul.

After only absorbing the energy from two stars, his Nascent Soul let out a ’snap,’ and immediately feeling his soul stir, he opened his eyes and looked to the sky.

In the sky, dark clouds gathered, thunder and lightning ceaselessly colliding within the tumbling clouds, emitting a muffled rumble, and the oppressive atmosphere made it difficult to breathe.

Even Yusuf Zuck felt the Purple Blood Beads pulsating, and his own blood flow quickening by itself.

This was a sign, indicating danger and crisis, signifying yet another hurdle in one’s life!

Yusuf Zuck gave a faint smile. After years of confronting winds and rains, of braving countless life-threatening dangers, he had grown indifferent to everything. He was never afraid of crises like tribulations; the only thing he feared in this world was humanity!

He slowly released his Taiji True Gang as a defense, thought for a moment, then planted the Qiankun Staff beside himself and gently unfolded his Dao Domain.

"Boom—" After making all the preparations, the first bolt of thunder finally struck down!

It was weak, even weaker than in the Dark Space-Time. He offered no resistance, allowing the thunder to baptize him. If you desired to truly overcome the tribulation, then you must withstand the tempering of tribulation.

One after another, three strikes, and he was unscathed, not even a single hair was harmed.

But when the fourth thunderbolt struck down, it did so silently, and his Purple Blood Beads swiftly signaled an alarm.

"Danger!" Yusuf Zuck was startled, this heavenly tribulation was too bizarre, as if someone was controlling it.

He didn’t have time to think further but swiftly laid down several layers of Taiji True Gang, and at last, he extended his palm, the Hand of the Supreme Heaven reaching out first to grasp the thunderbolt!

"Boom—" The moment the Hand of the Supreme Heaven collided with the thunderbolt, the Hand disintegrated into nothingness, and the fourth thunderbolt continued downward.

Although Yusuf Zuck’s heart was surging with emotions, he remained unmoved as a mountain, extraordinarily composed. As the thunderbolt was about to strike his forehead, he pushed out another palm, a Taiji Palm!

"Swoosh—" It managed to block momentarily, but the Taiji Palm also shattered. However, after two layers of interception, the strength of the thunderbolt had diminished significantly, and by the time it struck his layered Taiji True Gang, it only managed to breach two layers of defense, not reaching his flesh.

"Boom—Boom—" The fifth and sixth thunderbolts struck down simultaneously, two consecutive glows drawing less than half a meter apart. Yusuf Zuck raised an eyebrow and swiftly slapped out four palms, each meeting the thunderbolts.

"Boom—" As his palms collided with the thunderbolts, the seventh and eighth thunderbolts struck down, incredibly fast and several times more powerful than the previous ones.

Yusuf Zuck hadn’t expected the seventh and eighth bolts to come so swiftly and so was unable to counter in time when the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth thunderbolts struck his Taiji True Gang in succession.

The fifth and sixth thunderbolts were weaker—he had managed to block a lot of their force with his four palms. But the seventh and eighth thunderbolts were deadly!

His Taiji True Gang was dissolving and shattering layer by layer, and even as he continuously laid them down, they couldn’t match the penetrative force of the thunderbolts!

Eventually, two bolts struck his forehead, and his entire body began to emit smoke, as if it was about to catch fire at any moment.

However, his body did not ignite in flames. It must be understood that his physical body was unimaginably strong, and his Nascent Soul could also absorb part of the thunderbolts. Most importantly, the Purple Blood Beads could rapidly repair him, so he still managed to withstand the seventh and eighth lightning strikes!

Just as he groaned, unable to suppress a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth, suddenly, the dark clouds in the sky began to condense and retract. Then all the black clouds, all the lightning, all the thunderbolts concentrated into one point before transforming into a thick, straight bolt of lightning shooting straight down!

"Qiankun Staff!" Yusuf Zuck finally reached out and grabbed the Qiankun Staff standing by his side. As the concentrated thunderbolt struck down, he thrust the Staff upwards.

"Boom—" The Qiankun Staff collided with the final thunderbolt, and then that last bolt was shattered.

The sky quieted down, void of dark clouds and lightning. In that moment, there was utter silence, but after just two or three seconds, suddenly, chanting sounded in the sky, auspicious clouds flashed by, and above his head appeared a colorful portal, rotating slowly, its colorful radiance enveloping him!

With a "snap," at the moment the colored light bathed him, the Purple Blood Beads deep in Yusuf Zuck’s mind inexplicably opened one bead, and immediately after, a stream of information appeared deep in his mind.
