mes, earth, metal, and wood rotated around as Tina''s undtions zed. Her amethyst eyes had sunken a bit while her shoulders drooped.


    The pressure on her right now was ginormous as she remained hovering above Eps and the others, bing the first line of defense.


    Such an act was very simr to that of a man protecting their wife and newborn from a heavenly tribtion, except that this was not a tribtion that strikes the child but a pill tribtion.


    *Rumble!~*


    *Bzz!~*


    The ninth heavenly strike had finally formed. It was a true dragon, unlike the small serpent-like ones previously before. Its horns crackled with an apocalyptic might, sending its tyrannical aura straight toward the surface.


    "...!"


    A hint of fear finally crept on Tina''s face, appearing unable to believe that her beloved faced creatures like these all on his own alone.


    She bit her lips, swallowing a sweet metallic taste as she gulped down her own blood and allowed herself to remain firm despite the tremor that swept through her heart like a devastating tsunami.


    Dal and even Tyriele trembled- no, they greatly shuddered, appearing as though they wanted to run away anytime as Dal turned halfway while Tyriele also tried to run in the opposite direction.


    Because of that, the defensive barrier''s capability fell by half.


    Tina didn''t notice this scene as she fully had her concentration above.


    It took all her willpower to remain standing, yet she also used the fact that the fact that her beloved won against these creatures to push her past her limit, causing her to burn her soul essence.


    Level Nine Immortal King undtions burst forth from her, her aura particrly heavier than a Level Three Immortal Emperor''s aura, even surging past its peak and pushing forth the throttle as she increased her soul force''s prowess to the limit of her capability.


    ''My love, are you watching me right now...?''


    Tina''s only motivation at this moment was thinking if she was dazzling to him right now, selfishly and dreamily expecting him to have his vividly beautiful sapphire eyes on her.


    She didn''t know if he was watching her as it was possible that the heavenly geniuses from the true Immortal world might''ve caught onto them, trying to sabotage them, but little did she know that the annihtive aura from the tribtion already scared them to death.


    Regardless, she hoped that he was watching her for none other than the reason she wanted him to know that she lived her life for his sake and would die for his sake.


    "Not good!"


    Davis was indeed watching her very closely, knowing that she reached her limit if she was forced to use her blood essence to defend against the tribtion strike.


    Moreover, the heaven''s tyrannical aura wouldn''t let her unleash her full potential. He knew it because he was a victim of such suppression and also knew that it would take an enormous quality of willpower to ovee it.


    He was about to interfere with the tribtion out of sheer worry but held himself back because he would just worsen it, leading to all their deaths, as Tina should still have the ability to protect herself as she wasn''t the main target.


    However, that hesitation almost cost him his sanity as he saw Tina flying above to meet the ninth annihtive heavenly strike.


    *Boom!~*


    "Tina!"


    Davis rushed forward, his eyes turning bloodshot as he saw his Tina be struck down, causing her to crash into the debris of the pce they were originally inside.


    It was nothing but ruins at the moment.


    However, Davis came to a stop as he saw the ninth annihtive heavenly lightning strike be encased in some kind of fouryered barrier.


    An earthen soil sphere produced countless vines and thorns, which lit up in blue mes, burning with an ungodly amount of energy as these vines seemed to be like oil to them.


    However, this intense surge of me energy was directly heating up a metallicyer that seemed molten like magma.


    It was like ming liquid metal, thoroughly trapping the willful and tyrannical dragon.


    *Bzz!~*


    Crimson-red lightning crackled as the sphere could be seen changing shapes in all directions as though the dragon was trying to break through but couldn''t.


    Indeed, each time the annihte dragon tried to force its way out, it crashed into ayer of molten metal, causing it to severely take damage.


    It could still push through but was then stabbed by the thorns that awaited it in the middleyer, causing it to retreat back into the center of the sphere as it knew it could die if it forced its breakthrough.


    It was being whittled down as it was being burned inside alive, the sheer heat enough to roast almost any Level Four Immortal Emperor to death, perhaps even a Level Five Immortal Emperor.


    "What my beloved wants, he shall have it~"


    Tina''s voice resounded out as shey on the rubble, spitting a mouthful of blood as she had her hand raised up in the air and smiled victoriously.


    With a pull of her hand, she brought down the dragon, causing havoc in the skies as the heaven and earth trembled furiously.


    "Abination of four Laws..."


    At the same time, Davis was thoroughly in disbelief at this moment, unable to believe his Tina had been capable of such a feat.


    She had somehowbined Earth, Wood, Fire, and Metal Laws to co-exist, evenyer on top of each other to multiply the technique''s prowess.


    He remembered the words Myria had just said, that he was underestimating his Tina.


    Since he heard Tina''s voice, his worry was more or less deceased. However, that didn''t mean he didn''t want to step in, as the heavenly mes could descend anytime now!


    The heavens didn''t wait for anything or anyone!


    *Rumble!~*


    And without saying, the crimson-gold clouds began to release thunderous sounds again. The ninth strike still hadn''t been defeated, but it was still sending its next tribtion strike.


    *Sizzle!~* *Sizzle!~*


    Heavenly mes were already forming underneath those clouds. They were crimson-gold in hue, just like tribtion clouds, radiating an even more threatening aura than a punitive one.


    *Whoosh!~*


    "Don''te!"


    Dal''s voice resounded out with solemness.


    It made Davise to a stop again, his expression turning livid. He was just about to berate her as he saw she was about to make the same move that Tina almost used her life''s luck to aplish.


    "...!"


    However, he saw Dal throw Eps into Tyriele while Tina dropped the ninth heavenly lightning strike into the same cauldron.


    "I leave the rest to you, Dal..."


    Tina gasped for breath as she smiled at Dal. She still had a lot of soul force left in her soul, but her psyche was drained, making her unable to put up much of a fight anymore.


    "Worry not. My specialty lies in controlling mes..."


    Dalforted, but her expression said otherwise as the tyrannical annihtive aura now fell on her almostpletely as she hid Eps within Tyriele, whom she was in full control of.


    She smiled while fear overtook her expression, making her look quiteical, but to Davis, it was anything butical.


    However, he was stunned as he saw them feed Eps to the dragon, the ninth annihtive heavenly lightning strike.


    Had it weakened enough for Eps to experience tempering?


    He didn''t know, but what he knew was that the will of the dragon could essentially cripple Eps''s spirit, so even if they crossed this tribtion sessfully, the odds are that the Soulforge Elevation Resonance Pill would be a Spirit-Tier Pill without an actual spirit, only useful for consumption.


    Did they just gamble away Eps''s life, not knowing about the ridiculously tenacious will that sought to annihte anything it set its eyes upon?


    *Sizzle!~*


    By the time he ended up epting Eps''s eventual death upon being gnawed by the ruthless annihtive dragon, he gave up, knowing the tribtion would disappear in a few seconds.


    With Dal and Tyriele''s prowess, he knew they would at least be able to deal with this first strike, as they should only be as powerful as the first or third strike of annihtive heavenly lightning.


    At the most, if he waited enough and made a move at the right time while the annihtive heavenly me wisp was still trying to burn his Dal, he may be able to salvage it, but he wasn''t going to ask her to do that as he would never let her y dangerous games.


    With the two of their prowess, he knew they could deal with the first annihtive heavenly me strike before surviving the tribtion.


    *Sizzle!~* *Sizzle!~*


    He waited, looking at the heavenly me wisp fall from the skies as they tried to engulf Tyriele and Dal together.


    "Tyriele, let''s show the world your ability to withstand mes, no matter their properties."


    Dal sat on top of the cauldron''s lid and made a hand sign with both her hands, causing Tyriele''s powerful runes to light up. Her crimson body lit up, and the countless magical beasts etched on her manifested as they spread out and turned into a powerful barrier.


    *Shhhh!~*


    The annihtive heavenly me wisp finally fell, intending to burn the human and the cauldron in order to get to the pill inside!


    The space around Tyriele entirely lit up in crimson-gold mes, continuing to burn even after a second instead of dispersing.


    "Wha- what are you doing?


    Davis shuddered as he saw this scene.


    Dal wasn''t attacking, but she was keeping the barrier up only to seemingly defend! It was as though she was doing this on purpose, as he knew she could deal with this attack with Tyriele together.


    He knew they could exhaust this attack until it was out of energy, but he was horrified as he saw the second annihtive heavenly me wisp form, knowing that they were going to endure another attack in two seconds if Eps didn''t die!


    "Dal, extinguish the mes right now!"


    He yelled at the top of his lungs, but it seemed to have fallen on deaf ears as two secondster, the second annihtive heavenly me wisp finally fell.
