<h4>Chapter 582 Piercing the sky</h4>


    The 10th strike of the lightning tribtion was not meant to be cleared by anyone.


    The 9th strike was already the pinnacle of what anyone at tier 3 could hope to achieve , as the 9th strike was the absolute peak of a tier 4 spell ''s attack potential. It was the threshold of what a tier 3 body could take without crippling itself , and only the topmost talents who had undergone immense challenges could ever hope to reach that threshold .


    The quests to get artifacts or skills that provided one with the power to perform a peak tier 4 spell at this stage of the game were all of astronomical difficulty and extremely rare.


    Only a handful of yers could boast to possess this kind of power and even then not 5% of them can make it to lightning strike number 7 without being forced to use their Trump card beforehand , which only left people who could be counted on one finger amongst billions of yers who could ever achieve what Rudra did .


    However the 10th strike had the power of a early tier 5 attack. It was something that was able to kill or seriously injure even those who stood at the pinnacle of tier4 , hence not a chasm that any tier3 individual should be able to cross.


    However , Rudra was attempting to cross that very chasm at the moment as he used the tier 5 spell in his arsenal , given to him by the Archangel Michael himself for his extraordinary service inpleting an impossible mission , as now Rudra reaped the benefits of his past actions.


    Divine power swerved around his body in a tornado , as he was swept off his feet into the air , as his eyes shined with divine light and his hair flew in a wierd motion as if they were not bound by gravity.


    Rudra had no idea about how many lightning strikes the tribtion had , he also had no idea as to if this strike of his was going to be enough , however only with the mindset of '' I will do all i can before failing ''. Rudra decided to risk it all.


    Raising his hand a Lance made of pure light mana manifested itself over his palms , as now Rudra eyed the heavens with menace , waiting for his opportunity to strike.


    When the 10th and final strike was finally released from the thunder clouds , it was a red coloured lightning that Rudra had never seen in his life! It was absolutely terrifying as although a good distance away , Rudra could feel his skin tingling with the power of electricity.


    However Rudra was not deterred , looking at the red lightning , Rudra used every single cell in his body to generate maximum possible power and released the best move in his arsenal the '' Holy Lance! ''.


    The Lance made of light was thrown at terminal speed as it travelled faster than the sound barrier making a sonic boom!


    BOOOOOM! SHOCKWAVE! BAANG!


    It all happened within a split second. The holyce collided with the red lightning head on as a massive explosion that cracked the entire earth and ravaged the fields of thunder into barrends took ce , as Rudra was hit away with powerful sts of air as he lost a significant amount of his HP , just from the aftermath of the two attacks colliding.


    As he was falling back towards the earth , he could clearly see to his absolute delight how the winner of the exchange against the red lightning was his holy move and even after defeating the red lightning his holy Lance was still moving towards the clouds, Trying to ascend to the heavens even when it seemed impossible to do so.


    Closing his eyes , Rudra waited for the next lightning strike to kill him as he hit the ground with a Thud! , However shockingly his eyes were soon hit by sunlight and very bright sunlight at that , as when he took a peak he saw a massive hole the size of several killometers being opened up above him inside the fields of thunder.


    " Haha take that! " Rudra chuckled with his broken body as he could feel every fibre in his body aching after overexertion , he watched as the giant hole he created mended itself little by little , as the menacing ck clouds covered the sky again.


    Vommitting a lot of blood , Rudra staggered back to his feet as he still had the look of '' Comeon bring it '' , as the bloodied mess that he was , his will was still intact even though his body waspletely crippled , however even then he stood back up to take the next lightning strike and die on his feet , rather than dying like a coward while being sprawled on the floor.


    When the clouds finally mended themselves a system notification followed by golden thunder from the skies entered Rudra''s vision.


    [ System notification ] : Congrattions yer Shakuni for sessfullypleting the tier 4 promotion test.


    Evaluation grade : SSS


    Note : it is a monumental achievement , throughout the millenium old history of the four continents not more than 7 people have achieved this feat.


    You are indeed exceptional yer.


    Before Rudra could even digest what was going on with the system notification , he was hit by golden thunder from the skies , but contrary to him fearing for his mortality and loosing the wooden ne , something he had never experienced before ured.


    Bolts after bolts of Golden thunder entered his body , as he could feel the power of the thunder being absorbed into his body as he felt like he was undergoing a metamorphosis.


    Power that only filled his veins when he tried to produce the holy move now flooded his mana circuit like a wave of tidal energy , as every muscle , every tissue of his skin absorbed that energy to its fullest .


    " Mhmmmm aghh ". Rudra moaned in ecstasy as he could feel the golden thunder mending his body , as unimaginable changes began uring to his physique . It was as if he had cultivated 100 years in one minute.


    Little did he know , that the real changes had not even began .
