The Strongest Businessman

Chapter 98 98: Facing the Heavenly Tribulation 1





Yes, it was spirit energy. An energy which was exclusive to those at the Awakened Spirit Realm!


The Supreme Core was not only 10 times vaster and deeper than an ordinary spirit core, it could also insta-convert! Instant refinement was different from instant conversion because instant refinement would only make the absorbed energy into one\'s very own energy. Instant conversion or insta-conversion was different because any energy that enters Dylan\'s Supreme Core is instantly converted into spirit energy!


With spirit energy, Dylan would be able to maximize the use of his Waning Moon Sword! The Waning Moon Sword does not only have the special skill, Energy Slash, it also has another skill which is called Superimposition!


Injecting large amounts of refined natural energy​ to the sword will enable the user to convert it into spirit energy by the amplification rendered by the sword and create a Spiritual Manifestation attack called Energy Slash.


But, if the user were to have spirit energy in his disposal, he would no longer need the amplification of the Waning Moon Sword since spirit energy is capable of spiritual manifestation attacks. However, that does not mean that the amplifying ability of the sword would no longer have any use.


If the same amount of spirit energy were to be injected to the sword and released as an attack like the Energy Slash, the sword would create another layer of amplified energy layer on top of the original attack. This means that there would be an inner and outer attack!


This is the the other skill of Waning Moon Sword, Superimposition! It grants the user the user the ability to create a superimposed layer of attack which is even stronger than the original attack as the foremost attack with the original attack becoming the inner layer and act as the hidden attack! It would become the perfect surprise attack!


Even in successive use, it will still be effective because it will have twice the strength of the original attack. It\'s like yielding twice the results with just half the effort!


\'I can do this!\' Dylan pumped himself up and abruptly tightened the grip of his sword and shield. He concentrated himself because the lightning vortex was preparing to send its\' tribulation now.


However, a voice suddenly disturbed his concentration without giving notice.


"Hahaha, that\'s right! Begin already! I and my partner will face your​ petty tribulation together!" Rian interjected in his usual overbearing manner. He dashed away from Dylan and went to the top of the rubble before saying those words. The dog was really fast that he was able to quickly cover the distance of 20 meters in a matter of seconds!


The dark grey-cloud vortex paused firing it\'s heavenly​ thunder in that moment. It instead began spinning twice its former speed! The lightning and thunder seemingly enraged were furiously dancing and resonating swiftly with each other! It was as if the heaven\'s was insulted by Rian\'s taunting.


*Crackle* *Thunder roars* *Crackle*


*Boom!*


*Riiiiiiiiip*


"What the hell?!" Dylan saw the most ludicrous thing happening to his life to date! When the sky-ripping sound was heard, the giant lightning and thunder vortex was split into two smaller swirling vortex of destruction!


The two smaller vortex quickly grew as it furiously absorbed the dark-grey clouds around them! At first they were only about 5-10 meters in diameter, now they were even bigger than its original form which was currently 25 meters in diameter each!


One vortex was above Dylan while the other vortex was situated to where Rian was! The two vortex seemed to be even stronger than the first! The two vortex even seemed to be fighting for space like trying to get a clearer shot of their own targets!


...


Somewhere in Great Pine Forest, Barry was finding herbs for Dylan when he heard the sky-ripping sound which made him look at the sky with shock.


"The-the Heavenly Tribulation split?!" Barry was unable to believe what was happening. A Heavenly Tribulation splitting?! That was a matter unheard of!


"I need to do this faster! I have to check how Dylan is doing!" Barry hastened his pace of picking the herbs. Despite rushing things, he was able to do harvest without damaging the roots.


....


It was not only Barry, towns and villages nearby Great Pine Forest where shakened when they heard the loud ripping sound. All inhabitants who were sleeping were forced to awaken due to the deafening sound.


"What happened?!" A village head was alarmed and got out of his abode because his citizens were already panicking due to not knowing what happened.


"Above the Great Pine Forest, dark-grey clouds which harboured countless lightning serpents and repeated thunderclaps emerged!" The men of the watchtower of the village shouted​.


"Dark-grey clouds of thunder and lightning?! It must be a Heavenly Tribulation​! Is this an Origin Beast trying to break through to the Mortal Severing?!" The village head shuddered with this thought.


...


Back at the destroyed cave..


"What did you do?!" Dylan who was usually unperturbed became furious at the moment. He shouted at Rian who was standing at the top of the pile of rocks.


"I just want to create momentum, that\'s all." Rian embarassingly said. How could he have known that his \'slight\' taunt would greatly anger the heavens?


"It even split and became even stronger. Wait, split? Why would it split?" Dylan felt like he was truly unlucky that the little tyrant would be so fearless as to taunt the heavens itself.


However, he found it was rather strange that it split into two separate vortex. In the novels that he has read, the tribulation will only grow exponentially stronger depending the amount of people who will interfere with it or the talent of a cultivator. The lightnings it will release will only be vastly stronger than a normal tribulation. He never read any tribulation splitting due to the interference of someone.


"Unless the splitting was not caused by Rian\'s interference... The vortex broke into two as if it was trying to create... two separate tribulations!"


"Then, that meeans.. " Dylan shuddered due to this. He subconsciously looked at Rian who was currently walking towards him.


Seeing this, he also looked at the sky and saw that the other vortex above Rian was trying to push the vortex above Dylan. What frightened Dylan even more was that when Rian was only 10 meters away from him, the two vortex which was colliding with each other, started to fuse!!


"Rian, stop!" Dylan hurriedly said.


"Why?" Rian was a bit stunned.


"Quickly, go back to the top of the rubble!" Dylan insisted hurriedly because the fusion of the two vortex was starting to hasten!


"Why are you commanding me?!" Rian was clueless to what was happening. So when he heard Dylan commanding him, his expression darkened.


"Trust me on this one, please!" Dylan insisted sternly once more. If Rian did not comply, both of them will surely​ die with the combined strength of two heavenly tribulation!


Seeing the look on Dylan\'s eyes, Rian did not understand why he was acting so hysterical but he still chose to believe Dylan, "Fine." The puppy quickly returned to where he was.


"Don\'t come near me! If you do, the both of us will definitely die!" Dylan sighed in relief when he saw the two vortex cancelling their fusion and separating from one another. It was somewhat calmer than before but it was beginning to gather strength to prepare to strike!


"What makes you say that?" Rian was a bit shakened by Dylan\'s​ claim.


"Because the nearer you are to me, the faster the fusion between the two vortex will happen! By the time, the fused vortex will be several times stronger and it will release the tribulation far more powerful than before. It will grind both of us to dust!" Dylan explained quickly.


"What should we do, then?" Rian did not know what to do in this kinds of situations. He was just born today after all.


"We separate. The tribulation will follow you anywhere We have to pass our tribulations individually!" Dylan suggested.


"I need to face one myself?! But I thought you would be the only who will take the tribulation." Rian was quite shocked by this sudden turn of events.


Dylan himself did not know the particular reason but being faced with the tribulation, the heavens does not wish the two of them to continue to live, "I don\'t know what happens but the heaven\'s does not wish to see you live like how it wishes to crush me with it\'s lightning so~ Shit!"


*Tzzzzk*


The tribulation waits for no one when it was ready to strike, it struck a thunderbolt heartlessly to Dylan! It did not even let Dylan finish his sentence and attacked while he was completely unprepared.


*BANG!*


"Dylan!!" Rian shouted in worry!


"I\'m fine." Dylan defended​ against the thunderbolt because he kneeled to create more distance and raised his Shield of Dusk just in time to block the incoming attack.


Dylan just injected some of his spirit energy which burned the half of the thunderbolt\'s strength. During the reduction of power, Dylan tilted his shield upwards which caused the remaining strength of the thunderbolt to be fended off to the some rubble.


*Sigh* Rian was glad that Dylan was still okay. "It\'s good that you are alive or else it would be embarassing that my partner died with just one thunderbolt of the tribulation."


"Psh, stop acting. You worriedly shouted my name just now." Dylan teased.


"Y-you!" The puppy was embarrassed. It just looked as if he was caught doing a crime red handed but tried to deny it.


"Don\'t worry about me, worry about yourself first. You can\'t use your bloodline so I\'m quite worried if you can pass the tribulation~ Rian, look out!" Dylan was just going to remind Rian to be cautious because Rian did expend most of his bloodline strength to get out of the mansion, but who would have thought the vortex above Rian would also send a lightning!


"Don\'t underestimate me!" Rian felt belittled when Dylan told him about his worries. He looked at the incoming lightning and opened his cute little mouth. Shockingly, the dog ate the lightning!


"Delicious!" The dog licked his mouth as though he just ate a sumptuous meal.


"No way!" Dylan could not believe his eyes. The dog just ate the heavenly lightning just like that. \'It seemed like I worried for nothing. This dog is a true monster.\'


Indeed, Rian did not only possess an overwhelmingly strong bloodline, he also had an extremely jaw-dropping constitution that allowed him to devour heavenly lightning!
