Over tens of thousands of kilometres, every drop of soul force accumulated here was generating a gigantic red vortex!
Rumble rumble rumble!
In the layers of clouds, lightning flashed !
Every being in the Draconic Caves released their most powerful attack .
The Spiritual God of Water " Ling Ming " flew up as the law of water erupted all around him .
The water vapours in the air shifted and launched towards the bleeding sky .
Beams of Light formed out of the large amounts of soul force and laws erupted from the Draconic Caves as a pillar of purple lightning crashed down .
( ~Crack~ )
( ~ Boom ~ )
( ~ Clap ~ )
( ~ Kacha ~ )
Seeing the might of the heavens , the Spiritual God of Water stopped caring about the Draconic Caves as his human like body shifted and turned into a purplish blacked scaled 6 headed dragon
The Law of Water twisted and turned all around him forming a protective shell all around his body as the Spiritual God of Water prepared for the anger of the heavens .
The purple thunderbolt slammed down, twisting and turning like a dragon tearing apart the attacks launched towards the red cortex in the sky from the Draconic Caves .
[ South Eastern Part of the Draconic Caves ]
A few seconds before the descent of the Lightning tribulation , the crimson red cocoon was riddled with cracks .
Outside of the cocoon , the temporal Qilin " Tempest " silently stood guard over it's master .
( ~ Crack ~ )
' Just any moment now ' Tempest thought feeling the danger from Lightning tribulation .
( ~ Crack ~ )
( ~ Crack ~ )
( ~ Whoom ~ )
All the soul force in the entire surroundings instantly dried up .
Tempest made his move as the Heavenly Lightning descended .
Space all around the cocoon tore and formed into pockets of vacuums as the cocoon glowed an ethereal green .
[ Wood Dao Scripture : Advent of the World Tree ]
The pockets of vacuums all around the cocoon were put there to decrease some of the power of the Heavenly Tribulation as the natural soul force of the environment rushed to fill into the pocket vacuums colliding with soul force of Heavenly Lightning , even though it amounted to nothing , the split second time was all that Lin Lingtian had needed to form a smaller and stronger Ethereal Temporal Vine around his cocoon .

Like a second sun had been born in the Draconic Caves , a bright light and an ear piercing sound could be heard and seen from kilometres away .
A few seconds of silence go bye as the shockwave of the Lightning tribulation caused the tectonic plates of the Divine Continent to shift as an earthquake shakes the entire Divine Continent .
[ Saint Ancestral Mountain Range : Glory City ]
( ~Kyaa~ )
( ~ Ahh ~ )
The commoners of Glory City were panicking as the entirety of Glory City was shaking .
Many buildings were falling over killing a large number of people .
The Demon Spiritualists and Fighters all around Glory City were rushing towards their leaders to get to know what was happening? Where they being attacked ?
[ Heavenly Fate Plateau - Black Spring ]
( ~ Tap ~ )
( ~ Tap ~ )
A woman possessing beautiful white hair and the beauty befitting a Goddess opened her eyes in surprise as she looked down at the water she was floating over .
Ripples were forming in the normally calm waters below her.
' Just what is happening out their ?' The Spiritual God of Fire thought while she closed her eyes .
Currently it was of no concern to her as she continued to absorb her power of law to reform her physical body.

[ Saint Ancestral Mountain Range - Draconic Caves ]
( ~ Crack ~ )
( ~ Huff ~ )
( ~ Puff ~ )
The Spiritual God of Water " Ling Ming " emerged from the rubble .
He could feel it , his divine spark was incredibly damaged .
Out of his 6 heads , 3 were destroyed along with his wings and right arm missing .
Shifting from his demon form into his humanoid form .
One could see the damage that the Heavenly Tribulation had on Ling Ming .
His right hand was entirely missing as blood spilt on the ground .
Half of his face was burnt to a crisp as golden blood dripped all over Ling Ming's body .
Seeing the damage all over the body of the Spiritual God , one could wonder if Lin Lingtian didn't have temporal vine to cancel the devastating effects of the Heavenly Tribulation then what would Lin Lingtian do to survive the Heavenly Tribulation ? Would he have built the structures that the true Cultivators of old or would he have used the space warping ability of the Temporal Qilin to survive it ?
" What was that ? Had the heavens become jealous of my Draconic Caves ? "
Ling Ming stopped and turned as he felt his most loyal subordinates coming towards him .
Looks like many of the demon beasts above the legend rank had survived but from the severity of their injuries they were clearly very heavily effected by the Heavenly Tribulation.
" My Lord ."
Looking to where his subordinate was pointing at , Ling Ming and the others couldn't believe there eyes .
Streaks of green , blue , red and purple were flying from the rumble of the once mighty Draconic Caves into a giant hole where the Heavenly Lightning had directly struck .
The Spiritual God of Water narrowed his eyes as he looked carefully at the streaks of Light ..... he couldn't believe it , those streaks of Light were shattered souls of the majority of the species that inhabited the Draconic Caves .
Suddenly an ankh's cross made entirely out of soul force came out of the hole where the Heavenly Lightning had struck .
All the soul shards and pieces were being absorbed into the Ethereal Ankh's Cross .
In a moment of a few breaths , the streaks of light disappeared as the ankh's cross shrank down and disappeared into the abyss of the hole .
An absolute silence remained over the land as the sound of steps caught the attention of the remaining dragons .
Out of the hole , two humans slowly walked out as the earth itself shaped itself to form a flight of stairs for them .
Lin Lingtian brushed aside his long luscious dirty blonde hair to one side as a grin made it's way on his face when he gazed upon the remaining dragons .
Ling Ming clenched his fist to the point of drawing blood and he gritted his teeth . He knew those two were the ones that had plotted against the Draconic Caves and they will pay for this with their lives as he planned to kill them and then torture their souls .
Lin Lingtian's grin didn't falter as he brushed aside the killer intent of the dragons of the Draconic Caves.
" Let the hunt begin ." Lin Lingtian said as his eyes glowed with an ominous glow of red .
[ Saint Ancestral Mountain Range - Devil Forest ]
Zhu Long sat in a lotus position infront of a thousand armed statue with a face that had the same expression of a demon bellowing in the glee as the souls of all the living beings zhu long had hunted down for the thousand armed Ashura statue as the souls danced .....no the souls were trying to escape .
Suddenly a wisp of purple fire floated down and in an instant burned all the souls which began to form into seven symbols .
Zhu Long's body began to float mid air as the black lotus began to change colour into white .
The Law of Ice froze Zhu Long in a slab of ice as the white lotus began to bloom .
The Creepy smiling thousand armed statue began glow as an altar was forming out from the soul force of all the souls that had been burnt by the flames .
The Altar was connecting the Tiny World with something else .
It was connecting the Tiny World with a forbidden realm .
The Realm of Insanity , The Realm that was shunned by the Heavens itself , The Realm from which the Sage Emperor himself was born in .
The Realm of Ashura .
