The spear had a silver shaft and the spearhead had a blue-white colour. The aura and pressure emitted by it was enough to destroy dozens of small worlds. This showed just how much of a threat and abomination Lu Zhen was, he couldn't be allowed to exist.
The spear descended at lightning speed, the mountains all over the place were turned to dust and the place looked like a desert, lifeless. There was a huge hole that was at least five hundred meters deep and inside that hole was a young man, his normal black eyes were painted red due to pain, his lips with a tint of red like fully riped strawberries, his black hair cascaded down to his waist.
He was beyond good looking. His well refined muscles were now shaking and his veins popped all over him. He had a spear sticking out of his stomach, luckily his dantian wasn't damaged. This spear had pierced through him, penetrated the ground and pinned Lu Zhen to the ground. He was now like fish on the chopping block.
Lu Zhen didn't mind the spear or the pain and continued condensing his Beast Core. Another spear was condensed by the Heavenly Tribulation, its power was two times that of the first one.
Boom!
Another spear descended and pierced Lu Zhen and was also stuck to the ground. It had also made the hole deeper than it was. Lu Zhen kept on cultivating, his willpower had to be admired since he had to endure the excruciating pain of forming his core and the pain of the spears that were continuously piercing through him.
Spear after spear kept on descending, to the point where Lu Zhen looked like a porcupine. If a person looked at Lu Zhen now, they'd jump and scream in fright, he was in a completely horrible state, one would wonder how it is possible that this guy is still alive and kicking.
"You can beat me but you won't break me..." said Lu Zhen softly and weakly. His voice was so weak that if you didn't listen attentively then you wouldn't hear it. "You took everything away from me, my path, my future, my happiness. But...not this time. This time it will be I taking something from you. I said it then and I'll say it now...I W.I.L.L S.T.A.N.D A.B.O.V.E Y.O.U!" he screamed as he looked at the cloudy sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As if the Heavens were infuriated, a larger, stronger and more powerful spear was condensed. This time, the whole place was engulfed in dark and this darkness was spreading, ominous clouds that were filled with destruction could be felt by living organisms close by. These clouds didn't create fear in people's hearts but instilled it, they didn't fill people's hearts with despair because...they were the definition of it.
The heavens were planning on eradicating Lu Zhen with this spear. Its destructive power was unfathomable and when it descended, it was like the sky was falling together with it. Everyone only looked at the sky helplessly, they didn't even think that someone could resist and survive such a powerful attack. Their mindset couldn't be blamed because in front of true power, everything was futile. They accepted their fate, they accepted the will of the Heavens.
The spear descended at lightning speed but before it could reach Lu Zhen, numerous black chains shot out from Lu Zhen's body and coiled themselves around the spear like snakes that had found their prey. Feeling challenged, more power was exerted by the spear. The chains cracked but before they could shatter, two red goat horns protruded from Lu Zhen's head and a red mist crept out of Lu Zhen's body, it looked alive as it slowly fused with the chains changing their colour to crimson red.
The spear vibrated by it couldn't release itself from its shackles. It was then struck by numerous lightning bolts that increased its power but it still couldn't do anything against the chains. Its power was then absorbed into Lu Zhen's body who then continued condensing his Beast Core.
…
Days later, Heavenly Clouds still hovered in the sky, within the pitch black hole, in its depths, there kneeled a young man who looked paler than white sheets, with a back full of spears plunged in it. There was a deep red orb in front of him that was constantly spinning and sending a beautiful red light. Lu Zhen had successfully condensed his Beast Core, it was as large as an ostrich egg. The Beast Core then started shrinking and when it was the size of a chicken egg, its shape changed to that of a crystal. It entered Lu Zhen's head and released its power.
Lu Zhen felt an ocean like power coursing through his veins.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Lu Zhen's body was being further strengthened and his inscriptions became more and more visible and their golden lustre shone more and more.
ROOAAARRR!!!
A deafening roar that literally shook the Heavens reverberated through the hole. The large spear had long lost its lustre, it's being corroded and integrated with the chains whereas Lu Zhen was absorbing power from the ones that pierced his back. It was unbelievable that someone could survive being pierced by so many spears, Heavenly Tribulations Destruction Spear to boot.
Lu Zhen's blood started to boil as the Tribulation power coursed through it.
He had also swallowed the Demonic White Lotus before his breakthrough and was now experiencing three transformations at the same time, his bloodline became purer, his body became stronger and his horns became a few inches longer. His aura became so unbearable that the ground collapsed and Lu Zhen found himself inside the world's core. Lu Zhen fell into the volcano and was drowned in it.
…
What happened was even more shocking. Lu Zhen got his head out of the lava a month later and his horns were as red as they could be. His hair didn't burn nor did his body but something else happened. He was faceless, no eyes, nose, mouth or ears. Four horizontal lines formed from his face and one vertical line on his forehead, his ears became pointed and a large mouth formed with protruding jaws that were filled with razor sharp teeth.
Lu Zhen's body then started to expand until it reached thirty meters in length, red scales formed all over his body and the body itself started changing to that of a lizard's. A long tail grew from his back. Lu Zhen had three legs on each side that were equipped with claws and finally, two bones shot out of his back. As the two bones grew, they started to bend and bones bending was unheard of.
Flesh formed from the bones resulting in huge red scaled wings being formed. The five lines slowly opened, showing Lu Zhen's flaming eyes.
ROOOAAARRR!!!
His roar sounded like a dragon's but wasn't, an eagle's screech but wasn't, it was a unique roar.
…
Deep within the black hole, five fire dots could be seen coming closer to the surface and from above, a blue dragon was looking down with an aloof gaze.
Whoosh!
A huge, red and burning lizard-like monster flew out of the hole and hovered mid air. As it gazed at the dragon, the dragon was also gazed back at it.
ROOOAAARRR!!!
ROOOAAARRR!!!
