The Strongest Businessman 100 Chapter 100: The Final Wave

Barry just arrived after picking up 30 different herbs that could be used to heal a severely injured person. It varied from Mid Spirit, High Spirit and even Low Earth Rank Herbs.

"A 7th level..." He was shocked by the lightning tribulation that Dylan was currently facing. It was already a 7th Level Tribulation! A 7th level tribulation is something that is already more than one sub-realm higher than the one who was facing it. Although the Heavenly Tribulation's main intention is to obliterate it's defiants, it can also be a direct measure to how heaven defying a talent truly is! When he saw Dylan persistently resisting the tribulation lightnings, Dylan showcased his hidden might and talent which could overshadow geniuses!

"Amazing... So, this is my brother." Barry looked at astonishment.

"He gave me hope to cultivate and to do my life mission! I will not let him down! I will definitely create high level herbs for him!" When he calmed himself down, he sat down and he immediately started concocting​ medicinal pastes from the herbs he gathered.

Barry could qualify as a grandmaster in herbs and medicines already, not only because of his vast knowledge and rich experience on this field but also due to his innate talent being a clan from prestigious Herbal Specialists.

...

Somewhere within the forest of Great Pine, Rian was currently challenging his own Heavenly Tribulation. Around him, burnt trees, dried lakes, and scorched earth could be seen. Rian himself was breathing heavily with a few scorched wounds.

"You freaking heaven, that was the eleventh time already! I just ate the first five and did not say anything bad to you! This is unfair!" Rian barked with a livid expression.

If anyone were here and heard what Rian said, they would be vomiting blood! He just claimed to eat the first five waves of a heavenly tribulation?! Besides that, he also claimed to withstand 11 levels​ of the heavenly tribulation?!! This was an unbelievable thing for anyone to hear because according to the ancient records of the inhabitants of this world the maximum wave that the heavenly tribulation could send was 9! However, this little puppy claimed that he experienced 11!!

*Boom!* *Crackle* *Crackle* *Boom*

*Boom!* *Crackle* *Crackle* *Boom*

Two rounds of thunderclaps were heard. The vortex was swirling violently! The initially 25-diameter vortex suddenly shrunk and condensed into 4 humongous black thunder dragon that seems to have the strength to destroy the entire Great Mystic World!

"d.a.m.n it! You're even sending a 12th one?! Fine! I'll destroy that like how I destroy the others!" Rian domineeringly said as Rian used his bloodline strength.

Due to eating the first five waves, Rian quickly regained and was able to utilize the awesome strength of his terrifying bloodline once more as his blood energy created something similar to an Avatar. From it, that aura of ma.s.s slaughter, blood l.u.s.t and carnage that paralyzed Dylan and Barry appeared with the appearance of the six sinister eyes!

"Come on! I'll destroy you!" Rian overbearingly taunted

....

"Shrouding Thundercloud Wave!!" Dylan did not delay as he went all out as laid out all of his defensive might! He knew that it would only take about five seconds of time to materialize and another two breaths to descend. So he went all out and utilitized the greatest defensive measure in his disposal!

'Please, I hope that there won't be a next wave!' Dylan prayed earnestly.

Two giant sailfish appeared on Dylan's two hands, one was shrouded by lightning and one shrouded by clouds. Upon emergence, the two sailfish swam together and produced a ma.s.s of thunderclouds and a lightning sea as they reached the sky.

*Whoosh* *Whoosh*

In just four seconds,​ the two fish reached the height of 20 meters above ground and fused into a dazzling dome of lightning and thunderclouds! It was a double layered dome which almost covered the entirety of the forest. It was not only that the ma.s.s of thunderclouds were still retained under that dome. This was quite a bizzare sight because it appeared like a giant mushroom cloud.

*Boom!* *Crackle* *Crackle* *Boom*

It was also at that moment that the 64 lightning dragons was just starting to materialize and was absolutely at the Origin Realm! The strange thing was that this thing did not follow the norm of the prior waves of being yellow in color, instead it was purple in color! Not only that, the 64 lightnings were also twice as big as the other lightning dragons! It was as though it has somehow evolved!

*Whoosh* *Whoosh*

"Since you are taking your time to evolve, I will take advantage and create another defensive layer!" Dylan took this opportunity to create another layer because he was still not satisfied with his line of defense that's why he also added another Shrouding Thundercloud​ Wave at the height of 10 meters. Being extra cautious, he also utilized one of his Burning Dusk as his last line of defense! He still could not fathom how powerful an origin realm attack is but he was sure of one thing that this was already at the Intermediate 17th level Origin Trans.m.u.tation! So, he could not afford to be complacent when the gap was as big as one whole realm!

Being able to freely use skills of the Heaven Rank at his whim while still at the Spirit Gathering Realm, it seemed like in the entire state, no even, in the entire Great Mystic World, Dylan was the only cultivator who could have done so.

Dylan just used 3 Energy Slashes, 1 Crescent Moon Slashes​, 1 Half-moon Slash, 3 Heaven Rank skills, and two Heaven Rank skill combination! This is all equivalent to 88 Energy Slashes which was 87% of Dylan's​ current energy tank! That means he still has lots of energy to spare!

{.: 3ES. (Energy Slash/ES)

"I'm ready! Come!" Dylan roared to the skies while discarded his Waning Moon Sword and used both of his hands to grip on his Shield of Dusk which he filled up with a boundless amount of energy!

The vortex did not release its already fully formed​ 64 purple lightning dragons all at once. Unprecedentedly, it seemed as if this lightning dragons have gained sentience that prompted half of them to descend.

"What?!" With his heavenly eyes, Dylan could not believe his eyes when he saw the movement of half of the dragons! It seemed like they had a mind of their own and used half of its manpower to​ gauge the level of durability of the domes!

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*...

32 consecutive strikes happened on the dome and this broke the entire dome into pieces! However, not all of the lightnings were able​ to pa.s.s through as some of them was drained of its strength on the collision. Only 8 were capable of pa.s.sing through the dome and another half pa.s.sed through the whittling of the thunderclouds.

By the time the 4 remaining thunders reached the dome, they could only leave several dents on it. Although it might have seemed a successful block but the 32 purple lightnings were still able to create a pathway for the next wave to attack!

Dylan was still able to control the thunderclouds beneath the first dome so he manipulated it to turn in a spiral manner which caused the pathways drilled to be submerged within the mult.i.tudes of solid clouds. Dylan did not dare to be stingy with his spirit energy and constantly produced the solid clouds of the Thundercloud Wave skill which pushed the second dome to a height of 15 meters.

The vortex then sent the 16 of the remaining lightnings down. As it descended, it appeared like they were moving in groups of four and within the groups, the four lightnings got increasingly close with each other.

When they reached the height of 25 meters which was​ the highest point of the first ma.s.s of thunderclouds , the 4 lightning dragons within each group suddenly fused into an even bigger​ lightning dragon with a deeper purple color! The four lightning dragons' strength was augmented due to this sudden fusion!

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*...

The four lightning dragons raged within the thunderclouds and easily pa.s.sed though the cloud ma.s.s!

"What the h.e.l.l?! Intermediate 19th level?! Is this the eighth wave?!" Dylan felt that this had become a life-threatening affair! Just any single one of those could kill him without leaving a corpse!

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

When the four disasters reached the dome, four sky shattering noise was heard! In the face of such power, the dome was starting to break rapidly at that moment of impact. The four tried to burst the entire dome open instantly but it st.u.r.dily held on. However, five seconds later, it shattered the dome completely and continued to descend!

The 15 meter high ma.s.s of clouds was effective in withering the effects of the 4 because by the time Dylan received the attack, it's​ might was degraded to the level of 16th Origin Trans.m.u.tation!

*THUNDERCLAP*

Then, something world-shaking happened! The 16 lightnings fused into one gigantic lightning dragon! It was no longer purple and had now changed into red! It's strength has power multiplied exponentially! It seemed like a true lightning dragon that have the power to destroy the entire forest and everything within a hundred miles! This final wave emitted the power of a High 21st level Origin Foundation!

"O- Origin Foundation... The heavens really is trying to kill me..." Dylan's face lost it's colors. He just received the 4 purple lightnings and now a red lightning was diving down towards him with unstoppable momentum?!

Dylan did not know that 5 seconds has already pa.s.sed because time seemed to have slowed with the pressure given off by the Heavenly Tribulation. There was a thought in his mind whispering to him that it was all over and he was doomed.

The four still did not dissipate but it seemed like this red dragon did not care and simply dived down. It traversed​ the entire distance between him and Dylan in just a blink of an eye.

"Like h.e.l.l would I die here​!!!" Dylan did not entertain this thought as he materialized the remaining 20 Primal Stones and 2 DecStones in his mind and crushed it with his mouth! This made him recover about 20% of his energy reserves which was already a frightening amount! He ferociously injected all of his remaining spirit energy into the Shield of Dusk which strengthened the Burning Dusk above it crazily as it has never received this scary amount of energy since it was created!

*Fzzzzzhhh*

All of this made the Burning Dusk so resplendent that the diagram spewed out Dusk Flames! These flames disintegrated the 4 purple lightning dragons in a breath!

*Tzzzzzzk* *Kabooom!*

"Raaaaaaaa!!!" Dylan then, recieved the dazzling red lightning of devastion! Dylan's feet were firmly planted on the ground but the ground was failing was breaking due to the immense strength that the lightning dragon contained!

"I will survive!!" Dylan shouted with his hands burnt from the extreme heat created by the friction of the 4 purple lightnings and this red lightning! He was also being electrocuted by the lightning that was being conducted by the red lightning. Dylan's legs were digging deep to the ground which was being crushed but he couldn't care less with this pain he felt. He even subconsciously used his life force as a supplement to the diagram when he ran out of spirit energy!!

The lightning dragon and the diagram were trying to disintegrate each other! Though it was a stalemate at first, the diagram was eventually getting the upper hand and weakened the red lightning dragon!

"Just disappear already!" Dylan exerted his vitality even more. Strands of Dylan's hair was starting to turn white due to this recklessness. However, due to his tenacity and unwillingness to die, he was able to disperse the red lightning and successfully guarded against it! At the same time, the Burning Dusk diagram dimmed and eventually faded.

"I did it..." Dylan fell backwards without a tinge of energy left in him. His consciousness fleeted as he closed his eyes and rested with a smile of accomplishment left. Although he barely kept his life on the process, he has surpa.s.sed the overwhelming 9 levels​ Heavenly Tribulation!

The vortex above faded nonconsensually, not being able to accomplish what it has come here for. The night sky returned to it's quiet state as it welcomed the arrival of the morning sun.

The light of dawn filled the world and illuminated the skies. It shone upon the face of a young man who conquered one of the greatest trials of his life.
