Chapter 125: Heaven's Challenge: Meylan's Quest to Become a Mage Ruler
"Look at the sky, is that Heaven's Tribulation? Why does it seem different?" "A white Heaven's Tribulation? Could it be that someone is trying to break through to the Mage Ruler level?" "What? Someone is breaking through to Mage Ruler? Didn't they say that there's no divine power left on the Aislar Continent? How could someone trigger the Heaven's Tribulation for a Mage Ruler?"
When the Heaven's Tribulation appeared, the citizens of the Holy City started shouting.
The fact that there were no Mage Ruler level powerhouses on the Aislar Continent was no secret. Many also knew why there were no Mage Ruler powerhouses.
In the palace: "That direction... it seems to be Sylvus's shop. Could it be that Sylvus is trying to create a Mage Ruler?" Boone stood outside the main hall, looking at the white beam of light in surprise.
"If it were someone else, I might not believe it, but if it's him, it's indeed possible. Don't forget that Queen Elena temporarily gained Mage Ruler power thanks to the magical artifact he made." Mor, beside him, said seriously.
"The methods of this shop owner are truly amazing. Isn't it said that there's no divine power left in the continent? How can he help someone break through to Mage Ruler?"
In response to Boone's doubts, no one could give him an explanation. After all, no one really knew the answer.
In the land of the Angel Clan: "Strange, who could be triggering Heaven's Tribulation to break through to the Mage Ruler level?" Elena opened her eyes, a hint of surprise in them.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Boone just sent a message. In the Holy City, Sylvus's assistant, Meylan, has triggered the Heaven's Tribulation and is currently undergoing it," the High Priest said as he ran over.
"As expected, that man truly has endless methods." Upon hearing that it was related to Sylvus, Elena's hesitation disappeared.
"If Sylvus didn't do something earth-shattering once in a while, I'd find it strange."
"Your Majesty, should we go and take a look?" the High Priest continued to ask.
"I'll go alone. After all, this is the first Mage Ruler in three thousand years, and we naturally need to congratulate him." As Elena spoke, her figure disappeared.
Meanwhile, Ronald of the Titan Clan also received the news. Without much thought, he hurried towards the Holy City.
Aside from these two clans, from the Human side, any strong individual who sensed this special Heaven's Tribulation also rushed towards the Holy City. After all, it was the first time in many years that they had encountered someone trying to break through to Mage Ruler, and observing might lead to some insights.
"A Mage Ruler-level Heaven's Tribulation is indeed much stronger than a Mage Emperor's Heaven's Tribulation." Sylvus, at this moment, was eating sunflower seeds while looking at the rolling white lightning in the sky.
The power of this Heaven's Tribulation was comparable to the Hundred-Person Tribulation from before. If the person undergoing the tribulation was unprepared, they would surely be wiped out.
Time passed little by little, and the Mage Ruler-level Heaven's Tribulation took longer to brew. After about half an hour, a white lightning bolt finally descended from the sky, heading towards Meylan.
"So this is the Heaven's Tribulation that a Mage Ruler must endure? It's too powerful! Just sensing the aura makes the magic inside me tremble."
"Such a powerful Heaven's Tribulation, if Sylvus doesn't intervene, just this one bolt could destroy the entire Holy City. Its power is definitely above a Forbidden Spell."
"What are you afraid of? The one undergoing the tribulation is Meylan, the assistant of the potion shop. With Sylvus protecting him, no matter how strong this Heaven's Tribulation is, it can't make much of a splash."
While the citizens of the Holy City were talking, the first bolt of lightning arrived above the shop. As the lightning fell, Sylvus waved his right hand, and the bolt slowly descended onto Meylan.
Feeling the lightning enter his body, Meylan's mind shook. The magic within him erupted, frantically absorbing the power of the lightning. He was overjoyed as he felt himself getting closer to becoming a Mage Ruler.
After another half hour, the second Heaven's Tribulation followed. However, in front of Sylvus, this Heaven's Tribulation was nothing. It was easily absorbed by Meylan.
Thus, one bolt after another descended. When they reached Sylvus, they all became obedient. The aura around Meylan also rapidly increased.
"Emperor Boone, which number is this Heaven's Tribulation?" In the palace, Elena and Ronald arrived in front of Boone and asked.
"It's already the ninth, with one more to go," Boone replied.
Elena nodded. Although they had never undergone a Mage Ruler's Heaven's Tribulation, they knew that to break through to the Mage Ruler level, one needed to endure eighteen bolts of Heaven's Tribulation.
"With Sylvus here, we have no opportunity to learn anything." Ronald smiled bitterly. Originally, they had planned to observe the tribulation to gain some experience for their own future attempts. However, with Sylvus's methods, they had no opportunity to gain any experience. After all, they did not possess Sylvus's abnormal abilities to control even the Heaven's Tribulation at will.
"As long as it's related to Sylvus, we can just watch the fun. Don't think too much." Elena smiled. She hadn't come to gain experience; she already knew it would turn out like this.
"It seems this Heaven's Tribulation has attracted quite a few people." Boone smiled. welcome to NovelFire mp,y,r
The two looked outside and indeed saw many familiar faces arriving in the Holy City. These people were all Mage Emperors who had once joined them in clearing the undead world. However, after just a glance, the three turned their attention back to Sylvus.
Although many strong individuals had come to the Holy City, they knew these people wouldn't dare make a move. Sylvus's reputation was still formidable.
"Rumble..."
Under everyone's gaze, the Heaven's Tribulation in the sky began to fall faster and faster. Initially, it took half an hour for a bolt to descend, but towards the end, it was falling every fifteen minutes.
"No wonder becoming a Mage Ruler is so difficult. The speed of the later bolts alone is something ordinary people cannot withstand," Sylvus thought to himself. However, his actions did not stop. In front of him, there were already three white energy spheres.
Meylan was indeed fortunate. Without Sylvus, with his own strength, his chance of success was less than one in a thousand.
As time passed, when the final Heaven's Tribulation descended, the tribulation clouds in the sky began to disperse. In front of Sylvus, there were now five white energy spheres. Meylan continued to sit cross-legged, absorbing the power from the tribulation.
"Let's go, we can head over now." Seeing that the Heaven's Tribulation had disappeared, Boone, Elena, and Ronald exchanged glances and flew towards Sylvus's shop.
