Chapter 725: Sovereign Divine Ability
From a distance, Mandala's golden eyes widened slightly as she witnessed the scene before her.
Xiao Ze had actually withstood the terrifying Spirit Tribulation!
The first tribulation alone emanated a power that surpassed even the final strike of Mandala's own Spirit Tribulation!
"Was that the Sovereign Divine Ability within Xiao Ze's Sovereign Avatar?" Mandala murmured, her gaze fixated on the peculiar purple green wind surrounding him.
Some of the most powerful Sovereign Avatars possess innate Sovereign Divine Abilities abilities that are perfectly aligned with the unique nature of the avatar itself.
It is said that the Divine Abilities found within the most exceptional Sovereign Avatars can rival the might of world shaking Grand Divine Abilities. Even more astonishing, the mythical five Primal Avatars of legend are rumored to harbor Sovereign Divine Abilities that could match the legendary Thirty Six Grand Divine Abilities!
The power displayed by Xiao Ze's ability, Mandala realized, was already comparable to that of a Grand Divine Ability a feat that inspired both awe and envy.
Grand Divine Abilities are rare even among Earth Sovereigns, often serving as decisive factors in battles of their caliber. Yet Xiao Ze, who had just ascended to Earth Sovereign, already wielded such a formidable ability.
Truly, this Sovereign Avatar could rival or even surpass those of seasoned Earth Sovereigns.
As Mandala pondered these things, Xiao Ze felt a mysterious force merging into his Sovereign Avatar.
Upon the dissipation of the first Spirit Tribulation, this force naturally fused with his avatar, deepening its connection to the world. The transformation had begun: the Sovereign Avatar was becoming the Sovereign Manifestation, granting Xiao Ze the power to command the elements themselves.
The sensation struck a chord within him. It was akin to ascending to Dou Di in the Dou Qi Continent gaining dominion over, and even transcending, the natural laws of the world. Yet, the difference between that lower plane and the Great Thousand World was as vast as the heavens and the earth.
"Such a bountiful opportunity," Xiao Ze thought, "but equally fraught with peril."
"This was merely the first tribulation, and my Sovereign Divine Ability the Calamity of Wind barely held its ground."
As he glanced at the sky, the roiling spiritual clouds continued to gather. He contemplated for a moment and decided to amplify his power by summoning additional wind calamities.
Since a single calamity was insufficient, why not overwhelm the tribulation with sheer numbers?
With his immense reserves of spiritual energy, Xiao Ze could easily sustain the casting of multiple calamities without concern for depletion.
His hands formed seals, and purple green winds began to emerge, swirling around his Sovereign Avatar. Though light and intangible, the winds eroded everything they touched, even causing the very fabric of space to decay and dissolve.
Xiao Ze's strategy mirrored the ancient practice of inscribing immortal divine marks, which could amplify strength when layered in large quantities. Just as an ancient emperor once inscribed 999 divine marks to rival celestial relics, Xiao Ze sought to stack hundreds of calamity winds to magnify their destructive power.
The Sovereign Divine Ability, born from his Calamity Poison Body, was not static it could evolve and grow under his insight and experimentation.
As more winds converged, they began to coalesce into a massive vortex a devastating purple green tornado thousands of feet tall. When it touched the crimson stone of the volcanic terrain, vast swathes of rock simply vanished into nothingness.
"Twenty five calamity winds have formed this destructive storm," Xiao Ze muttered, marveling at its potency. "If I unleash it unrestrained, it might annihilate this entire region."
Mandala, watching the growing tornado from afar, was taken aback. Even with her strength, being caught in that vortex would likely spell certain death.
At that moment, another radiant lightning bolt descended from the sky. It streaked downward with blinding speed, leaving shattered voids and fragmented space in its wake.
Xiao Ze exhaled deeply and directed the colossal vortex upward.
When the lightning met the storm, the two forces clashed in a spectacle of raw destruction. However, unlike the earlier confrontation, the storm overwhelmed the tribulation.
The calamity winds eroded the lightning bolt, gradually reducing it to nothingness. No matter how fiercely the tribulation unleashed its destructive energy, it could not pierce the relentless storm.
As the last remnants of lightning dissipated, Xiao Ze breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"Thankfully, the Sovereign Divine Ability is strong enough," he thought.
But there was no time to relax. He knew that each subsequent strike of the Spirit Tribulation would only grow stronger.
Summoning his focus, Xiao Ze continued producing calamity winds, feeding them into the storm to increase its strength. He soon noticed something intriguing: the storm wasn't merely consuming his energy it seemed to recover lost power by absorbing the remnants of the tribulation itself.
"Interesting," he mused. "The calamity winds from the Poison Body consume and assimilate everything, creating a deathly domain wherever they pass."
"Similarly, the winds in this storm devour all they touch, growing stronger with every tribulation they absorb."
By the time the third tribulation struck, Xiao Ze had summoned over fifty calamity winds, forming an even more devastating vortex. Left unchecked, the storm might have consumed the entire volcanic region.
The third tribulation bolt was utterly eradicated, but the spiritual clouds above seemed to respond angrily.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three lightning bolts descended simultaneously, releasing a terrifying pressure that made Xiao Ze's eyes widen in alarm.
"Three strikes at once?" he muttered, taken aback.
The storm absorbed the first bolt, but not without cost its structure faltered and began to dissipate. The second bolt shattered it completely, leaving Xiao Ze vulnerable.
As the third bolt descended, Xiao Ze swiftly formed new seals.
"Sovereign Divine Ability: The Three Calamities of Misfortune – Lightning Calamity!"
The Sovereign Avatar's eyes flickered with purple and green, crackling with lightning. Two beams of concentrated energy shot forth from its gaze, meeting the final bolt head on.
The resulting explosion tore through the air, reducing the nearby crimson volcano to rubble.
As the dust settled, Mandala anxiously scanned the devastation, her heart racing...
