Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 792 Anticlimactic End To The Internal Tribulation

The fusion attack worked and painstakingly, Lith made a hole in the barrier and put his hand in to grab a strand of pure Half King elemental energy.

A sizzling noise rang in his ears and a sharp pain coursed through his body as he grabbed the elemental energies.

Lith needed a total of twelve strands to ascend and how many he got in one handful, he didn't know.

Lith quickly channeled the strands at their respective elemental cores and right after one strand had been integrated with its core, Lith's power rose sharply in that very element.

This effect eventually snowballed itself and Lith was able to fight off against the wind coming from beneath. He rushed down and sending a barrage of fusion spell attacks, Lith broke the entire barrier and willed the elements to flow into his core.

The gigantic pillar, like a tornado, shot right into Lith's core and made him scream in pain.

This was no joke! This definitely was no joke! It pained like a bitch and Lith would never try to swallow pure elemental energies like this in future!

The pure Half King energies were so strong that Lith's Saint Rank elemental cores were not able to handle them well. There were cracks all over them and he was barely managing to contain them from exploding.

If even a single elemental core of Lith's exploded, the equilibrium of twelve elemental energies in his own body would be broken. This would cause the rest of energies to go haywire and his body and soul would immediately explode!

This was really dangerous and if Lith died here, there was no reincarnating again.

Lilith was greatly worried as she could feel each and every single thing. She really wanted to intervene now and was on the edge of her seat.

She was focusing with all her might and going through each and every quantum second and instances of Lith's ascension.

If she saw even a slight possibility of Lith's core exploding, she would immediately charge and rescue him, stopping the tribulation in his stead and save him.

This would be really bad for Lith and who knows how much potential he would lose, but a crippled son was better than a dead son.

Lilith genuinely had no idea how he had ended up in such a foolish situation. She was not an omniscient God and could not predict anything regarding her son.

Whatever memories she had of the future, it was limited till the Evure God Clan. That too, was changing by a great deal as Lith was taking much different steps than before due to the various changes that took place in the past.

With worry in her heart, Lilith stared at Lith. Agalea was massaging her palm with her thumbs to comfort her, but this was not helping in any way.

Lucy, Alexandra, Arya, Emilia, Luna, Qingyue, Bella… all the ladies connected to Lith via their blood bond could feel something really wrong and had stood up from their seats, getting close to the barrier and staring at him.

They couldn't go into great details like Lilith, but they were genuinely feeling afraid of losing Lith and couldn't help but put up their guards and get ready to attack the barrier.

Lilith was the one who made this and if she were to falter for even a bit, the barrier would vanish and the other ladies would intervene. Despite being the weakest emotionally when it came to Lith, she had to stay stronger and not let herself be swayed.

All the worries of these ladies however were for naught. At least for now.

Lith skillfully managed to contain the pure energies within his core and despite the cracking, he fixed them via these pure energies and made them stronger than before.

There was an abundance of Half King energy and with each passing minute, the gigantic pillar was getting dimmer and narrower as Lith absorbed it all.

It took half a day, but Lith finally ascended by absorbing not just a single strand, but the entire gigantic pillar of pure Half King energies!

This was a happy moment and the ladies and servants cheered for Lith.

However, this happiness was short-lived as Lith immediately sat down in a meditative position and focused on his main core.

The outer tribulation had ended, but the inner still remained. This was where the real problem would arise.

In the heat of the moment, Lith had absorbed everything and although this wasn't wrong, the inner tribulation was going to appear far stronger than this one.

Lith couldn't cry about it and could only prepare himself.

Lith entered his core and was not amused to find it in a bit of a bad condition.

The sudden channeling of so much elemental energy was bound to cause problems. Nothing to worry though, as the upcoming tribulation was anyway going to destroy everything.

Lith sat in the middle of a flat grassland and waited for the tribulation to arrive.

An hour passed and ripples of strange elemental energies occurred, making Lith open his eyes and stare at the skies of his core,

What tribulation was this going to be, he had little to no idea.

The good thing about the inner tribulation though was that at least he could take help from other people and didn't need to survive on his own.

He wanted to first push as far as he could and stop the tribulation as that would bring in great benefits. If the heavens were impressed, Lith would ascend to a higher state of consciousness and could ask anything and everything to the heavens.

Past, present, future… The timeline didn't matter at all.

At present, Lith had nothing he wanted to ask, but if it came to that, he might end up asking a few things. What they were… It was one of Lith's most suppressed questions that he never actively thought of, but had always wondered about passively.

The ripples of the elemental energies subdued after a while and Lith heard a gushing sound, as if someone had left a tap open.

Looking at the source of the sound, that is, upwards, Lith saw a pink mist manifest into the atmosphere.

The space and time around him then fluctuated and in just a matter of seconds, a thousand gates opened up.

Out of these gates, monsters began moving out. Their body shape, structure, and appearance was something which Lith had never seen before or even even read about.

Some were a thousand feet tall while some were as small as an ant. Despite their appearances, one thing was common between all of them and it was:

Strength.

They contained great strength and their auras were scary. Not as scary as the creature hiding behind the red gate, but terrifying enough to make Lith aware that he couldn't win against them.

'There goes my will to fight…' Lith thought to himself.

The enemy was so strong that Lith's fight or flight instincts activated, making him immediately come to a conclusion to escape.

This was beyond him no matter from which angle he looked at. He would die while his core would be destroyed.

There was no point fighting against such an enemy. It was anticlimactic and Lith wanted a good fight, but nothing could be done now.

He sighed and then opened his eyes in the real world.

Getting up and looking around, Lith said the magical word which any sane man would, in his times of distress. That word being:

"Mom!"

Something within the space around Lith disappeared and he could see a big stand, like the ones present in arenas, surround this meditation hall.

There were people sitting, but in the next instant, his mother's gentle figure appeared right in front of him.

Lilith, wearing a silver dress, held Lith's face and asked in a worried tone, "Are you alright, baby? You're not hurt anywhere, right?"

Despite knowing everything, Lilith still asked because a mother's concerns would never cease to exist.

Lith nodded and said, "I am alright, mom. But, things are going crazy in my core, help would be appreciated."

"Say no more!" Lilith answered and touched Lith's abdomen where his core was, sending in her magical powers and making the tribulation disappear immediately.

Lith was surprised with how fast this was done. He could see his ladies coming towards him from a distance. But before they even arrived, the problem was solved.

Just how strong was his mother? Lith couldn't help but think of this age old question once again.

"Little brother!"

"Little cousin!"

"Darling!"

"Husband!"

"Bitch!"

"Lith!"

Lith heard so many titles in just a second as everybody charged towards him.

The ladies didn't spare any time and immediately surrounded him and checked if all his limbs and bones were intact or not.

They were worried to death and even though Lucifer, Agalea, Alea weren't his wives yet, their worries were on the same levels as the rest.

"Did your core crack? Did your bones crack? Did your head crack? Did you crack?" Lucy didn't know what she was even asking as checked up on Lith.

"No, but I wanna see your butt crack." Lith said and bit his lips like a creepy pervert.

"Tch. This little demon is fine. I was worried for nothing." Lucifer clicked her tongue and took a step back.

"Now, now, everyone, let him consolidate his cultivation. Let's leave baby alone for a while." Lilith said and skillfully distanced everybody.

"No! I wanna stay with little cousin!" Alea protested and clung onto Lith.

Alexandra did so as well, but she didn't say it out loud as she didn't want to seem like she was going against the Queen's decree, even though she was.

Lucy and Emilia shared the same emotions while Arya and Agalea were mature enough to back off.

"No arguments on this." Lilith said and took Alea and Lucy away from Lith while Arya took away Alexandra.

"Consolidate well, baby." Lilith said to Lith and left.

Lith nodded and sat back down to do just that.
