``Boom!'' ``Bang!''
The sound of thunder and lightning from the tribulation rang out across the Heavenly Beast Mountain Range. Zhu Tianshang, the once in a Million Years Genius who had reached the Heavenly Dao Emperor stage was undergoing his final tribulation to ascend to the Divine Plane, the final destination for all those who wanted to train to become an Eternal Being. He had effortlessly passed through the `Nine Turns Divine Thunder Tribulation' and `Great Yang Fire Tribulation' and was now undergoing the `Demon Heart Fire Tribulation'. He was once again about to pass the next phase of tribulation effortlessly when he was attacked by a group of Heavenly Dao Kings led by another Heavenly Emperor. Normally even 10 Heavenly Dao Emperors would not be able to harm him at all due to all the Arrays he had placed on his Armour and his Natal Artefact, the `The Immortal's Farm', but he had been careless. He had thought no one would be here as this place was isolated by Arrays placed by him, a Ninth Level Heavenly Restrictions Master. The only people who knew how to get through were some of his friends and family. Even with that being the case, normally he would have sensed the people coming but the `Demon Heart Fire Tribulation' had made his Divine Sense muddled and he suffered from the Attacks of fifty Heavenly Dao King and a Heavenly Dao Emperor.
``Boom!'' ``Bang!'' ``Boom!'' ``Bang!'' ``Boom!'' ``Bang!'' ``Boom!'' ``Bang!''
The attacks from outside distracted him and allowed the ` Demon Heart Fire Tribulation', to reach and attack his soul. His soul would have burned away and he would have perished then and there But his Natal Artefact, the accumulation of his Genius in Cultivation, Refining and Array knowledge saved him at the last second. It protected his soul and housed it within itself to nourish it back to full power. The Immortal Garden took the opportunity to strengthen itself and its bond with Zhu Tianshang with the power from the Tribulation, it used the `Nine Turns Divine Thunder Tribulation' to strike life within itself, the Precious Herbs and Mystical Heaven and Earth Beasts within the Artefact were all blessed by the Thunder. And the `Great Yang Fire Tribulation' was used to Nourish the `Yang Spirit Flame' and evolve it to the `Great Yang Sky Fire'. This was a lucky encounter for Zhu Tianshang as not only did he recover, he also managed to advance his Natal Artefact to the next stage.
``I should have known that you would betray me Lei Feng.'' Already knowing that it was out of greed the traitor attacked him, Zhu Tianshang gave no chances and annihilated the attack party, ``Heavenly Emperor's Burning Wrath!'' the attack used the `Great Yang Sky Fire' as a power source and this was a flame belonging to the Divine Plane. There was no chance for the traitor party to survive. Just when Zhu Tianshang thought he was finished, he was hit by a Dark Ball of Negative Energy that arrived through the portal that would bring him to the Divine Plane. ``Young Brat! I will be taking over your body now, Go Die!'' a person who called him, a Million Year Old Heavenly Dao Emperor was most likely a cultivator from the Divine Plane. But it looked like it was just the damaged spirit and not an actual cultivator from the Divine Plane, but even then the gap between them was too much. Not willing to go down after passing his Tribulation, hu Tianshang once again attacked, this time he used all the things at his disposal, ``Nine Turns Divine Thunder!!! Great Yang Sky Fire!!! Heavenly Emperor's Wrath!!! Immortal's Will'' from the newly acquired Treasures to his own energy to using the Immortal's Farm Spirit, the attacks he threw out could kill a Nascent Saint God much less a damaged spirit of a Cultivator.
``How?!! How?!! How do you have treasures from the Divine Plane, this is just a low level plane of the Heavenly Level. If I hadn't been ambushed when I was undergoing my tribulation, my presence alone would have killed you. Ahhhh!! Why?!!!'' not bothering to reply, Zhu Tianshang just kept attacking and finally the last wisp of the Soul was gone remaining behind the purest and largest amount of Soul Power Crystals he had ever encountered. There were some Purple Crystals along with a Ring that was left behind after the Damaged Spirit was refined. Just as he was rejoicing at his luck at getting out of trouble two times in a row, he was attacked once again. This time, it was the heavens, a Purple Bolt of Lightning struck his Body and without any obstruction, his Body was destroyed. The lightning was fast approaching his Soul when once again, his Natal Artefact tried to save him. Using the pure Soul Power Crystals as a source it merged with the Purple Crystals under the direction his Soul and encased him within it. When the lightning struck his Natal Artefact, it was as if time stopped or more like it reversed. He felt like he had been hit by a World and thrown back in time and space. And he had.
At the last second, the God King who sent the attack recognised that it wasn't him that he wanted to destroy but the evil cultivator from before. He was not an evil God and would not harm an innocent thus recalled his Heaven's Wrath Thunder. He felt sorry but there was nothing he could do. but he didn't notice that instead of dying Zhu Tianshang was sucked into a crack that sent him hurling across time and space and brought him to a place he never thought he would be at again.
