Rise of The Abandoned Husband

When it was still hundreds of meters out, I already felt that crushing pressure!

When it closed to just a hundred meters, my body got slammed straight into the ground!

I tried getting back up, but I couldn't even manage to stand!

The worst part was, I had to keep my focus on controlling my divine sense!

Can't do two things at once, so I was totally screwed!

I let out a roar as golden light burst from my whole body, trying to power through it!

I threw everything I had into controlling that divine sense and merging it with my golden core!

As for the heavenly tribulation, I'd just have to take it head-on!

"Boom!"

Finally, the heavenly tribulation crashed down on my body!

"Ah!!!"

A scream of agony ripped out of me!

The heavenly tribulation hit like a cannonball, turning my body into a bloody wreck!

My bones got crushed, and the thunder and lightning spread through every part of me!

My golden light was already gone, and under the lightning's assault, my solid flesh started cracking apart!

I gritted my teeth, trying to push through the pain.

But pain messes with your divine sense.

Under this brutal agony, I couldn't stay focused.

That chaotic power came back, and my golden core started falling apart!

"Boom!"

Before I could even react, the fourth Thunder Tribulation hit!

Seeing that thunderbolt, despair filled me completely!

Countless blue lights soaked right through my body.

Those threads of blue light pierced straight through my flesh!

Like they had minds of their own, they suddenly stabbed through my body, going right for my golden core!

"Not good!" My face went white!

At this moment, if my focus slipped even a little, I'd be wiped out instantly!

"Whoosh!"

The thunderbolt cut through my golden core like a blade!

The fusion of divine sense and golden core stopped right there.

The lightning outside had completely shattered my body.

"Bang!"

My body hit the ground hard.

The dark clouds gathering overhead started breaking up too.

Under the fourth Thunder Tribulation, I couldn't hold on anymore.

The tribulation had failed.

I lay there on the ground, tears coming out of my empty eyes without stopping.

The tears rolled down my face and hit the ground, turning to steam right away.

"Why did it have to end up like this..." My tears kept pouring out.

To reach the Martial Saint realm, I'd paid such a huge price!

But right when I was about to become a Martial Saint, I failed.

How could I stand it!

I shut my eyes, checking the golden core inside my body, and saw the cracks had spread everywhere.

The whole golden core was barely holding together, and if I used spiritual power again, it would definitely explode!

This made me even more hopeless.

I collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down and defeat washing over me.

Everything was quiet except for the sound of my soft crying.

"Sigh... don't be too upset, the fact that your golden core isn't completely destroyed is already lucky..." Saron said, trying to comfort me.

I clenched my fists without saying anything.

My tears kept flowing, almost washing the dark stains off my face.

After I don't know how long, I slowly pushed myself up from the ground.

My face was ice cold, and nobody could tell what I was thinking.

"Kid, you okay?" Saron asked seriously.

I said grimly, "I'm fine, I just need some quiet time."

After that, I found a spot and sat cross-legged.

I gently closed my eyes.

No air moved around me, like everything had stopped.

A whole night went by.

Until early morning the next day, I slowly opened my eyes.

I stood up from the ground and said coldly, "I won't give up this easily."

"That's right, as long as you don't use spiritual power, you'll be okay!" Saron said quickly.

I asked, "Is there any chance for my golden core?"

Saron thought for a moment and said, "Hard to say. If you have Heavenly Vanilla and great alchemy skills, there might be a way to fix it."

"Heavenly Vanilla... guess I can't avoid it after all." I muttered quietly.

Saron made a sound of agreement and said, "You have Purple Flame and should be pretty good at alchemy."

"But I don't know much about alchemy. You'd be better off asking a real alchemist."

I mumbled back, "Got it."

As long as I didn't use spiritual power, the damage to my golden core wouldn't get worse.

As long as my golden core wasn't totally destroyed, there was still hope.

"Can you still beat a Martial Saint with how I am now and using my body?" I asked.

"No problem." Saron answered right away.

"I use my divine sense and won't touch your golden core."

I mumbled, "Thanks."

With that, I was about to head to Southerntain Village to save Amber Skye and the others.

But right then, I coughed up fresh blood, and my face got even paler!

I wiped the blood from my mouth and whispered, "Looks like the damage to my golden core is putting even more stress on my body..."

"Can't be helped." Saron said.

I didn't say anything else and rushed toward Southerntain Village.

"Your body is covered in injuries right now, so you should rest up first." Saron reminded me.

I looked down at my beaten-up body.

Yeah, besides all the scars, my skin looked burnt too.

I figured out the timing.

There was still one day left before the three days Frost Kendrick had given me.

So I sat down cross-legged, planning to quickly heal my flesh.

The scars on my body started healing slowly.

Right then, a crackling sound suddenly came from the healing scars on my body!

The sound was quiet, but it was really sharp to hear.

I looked down and saw lightning threads inside the wound!

And as my scars healed, the lightning mixed into my flesh!

Then I was shocked to find that after the lightning merged with my flesh, my body got stronger and tougher!

"What's happening?" I shouted in shock!

I tried making a fist and was amazed to find it seemed to have some kind of powerful extra force!

This force came from the power of lightning!
