The One King

Azrael adjusted his stance and stood calmly, waiting for the tribulation to fully form.

There was not even a hint of fear in his eyes.

To him, the Immortal Tribulation was merely another obstacle on the path to reclaiming his strength.

Several minutes passed as the thunderclouds continued to swirl above him, while the destructive energy within them grew stronger with every passing moment.

Then—

BOOOOOOM!

The first bolt of lightning descended from the heavens at tremendous speed.

Azrael did not attempt to dodge.

Instead, he simply stood there and allowed the lightning to strike his body directly.

BOOM!

Lightning engulfed his entire body, sending countless sparks flying through the air.

His body trembled slightly beneath the force of the strike, but he did not take even a single step backward.

He raised his head and looked toward the heavens with indifference.

Then came the second bolt.

BOOOOM!

Then the third.

The fourth.

The fifth.

One bolt after another descended, each stronger than the last.

Yet Azrael remained standing in place, enduring the destructive power with nothing but his physical body.

The sixth.

The seventh.

The eighth.

BOOOOOOM!

The eighth bolt struck the earth, causing the entire mountain to tremble.

But the ninth bolt did not come.

Several moments of silence passed.

The thunderclouds began to spin violently, as though the heavens themselves were preparing to deliver their final judgment.

The pressure intensified.

An enormous amount of energy began gathering within the clouds.

Even the cultivators watching from afar felt a chill run through their bodies.

"The ninth bolt..."

One of them whispered.

"It's the strongest!"

In the next instant—

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

The ninth bolt descended.

Its brilliance was more dazzling than all the previous bolts combined.

The entire sky and earth were swallowed by its terrifying light, completely engulfing the mountain peak.

For several moments, Azrael could no longer be seen within the terrifying lightning.

Then the storm began to recede.

The clouds gradually dispersed.

The lightning faded.

And finally, Azrael emerged.

He was standing exactly where he had been before.

Without a single injury.

Then—

BOOM!

A terrifying aura erupted from his body.

His aura began rising at an incredible speed, breaking through the limits of the Immortal Ascension Realm.

Then—

Breakthrough!

The invisible barrier between the two realms shattered.

His aura surged once again.

First Level of the Bronze Immortal Realm!

At that moment, Azrael's entire existence changed.

He was no longer a cultivator in the Immortal Ascension Realm.

He had become a true Bronze Immortal.

Immortal energy flowed through his body, while his aura became deeper and more mysterious than before.

Azrael slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at his hand for several moments.

"Bronze Immortal..."

He murmured calmly.

This was only the beginning of his journey.

It did not take long for news of the emergence of a new Bronze Immortal to spread throughout the Kingdom of Light.

The appearance of a new immortal was an event worthy of the attention of the major powers.

The royal family of Verdant, along with numerous other forces, quickly dispatched people to investigate the identity of this mysterious cultivator.

Their objective was not merely to discover his identity.

They also wanted to determine whether he could be recruited.

After all, the addition of another Bronze Immortal could potentially alter the balance of power in the region.

The investigation teams soon arrived at the mountain where the tribulation had taken place.

They searched the entire area carefully.

They inspected every corner.

They even used their spiritual senses.

But they found nothing.

Only the remnants of the tribulation remained.

Devastated earth.

Shattered rocks.

And unmistakable traces of immortal energy.

As for the person responsible for all of it...

He had disappeared without leaving behind the slightest trace.

Just before dawn, Azrael returned to Moonfall City.

Gaya was waiting for him.

The moment he appeared before her, he said nothing.

He simply surrounded her with his immortal energy.

In the next instant—

The two of them vanished from the city.

Azrael left behind nothing but empty space where they had been standing.

He had already determined his next objectives clearly.

First, raise Gaya's cultivation to the Spiritual Emperor Realm.

Second, use the Council Domain Card.

Third, enter the Council Domain and reach the beings sealed within it.

Fourth, break their seals and release them.

And finally...

Raise his own cultivation realm to Divine Ascension.

Yet behind all these objectives lay an even greater goal—one Azrael had never forgotten.

To fully restore his strength.

Then return to that place.

The place where his past awaited him...

And where the enemies with whom he still had unfinished business were waiting.
