Supreme Origin: Time King

Chapter 173: X Tri-Disaster

   With everyone collapsing onto the floor, the clouds shone with multiple colors as silence came. Elijah stood, wondering about a million things while watching the clouds above him.

"I understand now, there is no reason to fear myself.  For the apprentice ascend into a master, he must keep his heart steady and above all." Since absorbing his fragment of an divinity core, forming his trinity body and reaching the peak of the trinity apprentice stage in one go. More than twelve years have passed and Elijah didn't progressed at all compared to his experience that grew more and more since he had more than enough knowledge for the rest of his life.

 While his mind experienced countless changes, lightning bolts of three of different colors appeared in the sky. Red, white and gold, it was the tri-disaster lightning calamity. Like the name suggests, the tri-disaster lightning calamity was the first part of the tribulation where the cultivator must face three of the most dangerous lightning. The Bloody Heart Lightning, the Phantom Soul Lightning and the Sparking Energy Lightning. In other cases, any of those lightning will happen faced celestial tribulation, but it was nearly impossible to survive under their might power making the number of celestial being in the Elijah's universe to stagnate. Of course, the names he used where from the memories of the Origin race that had to face one of those three lightning each time they advanced into a higher level.

 To prepare for the coming lightning, Elijah set up a void space around him.  Void Space was something he haven't used for a long time and it would be really helpful dissipating some of the lightning's power. Elijah also took a look at his fairies than were in deep sleep for over ten years without giving a signal of waking up. 

 "Crystal clones come to me!" Four bodies made of numerous metals and  rare materials rose from the ground. Each body was made with the same face as Elijah, their eyes were spiritless as they were nothing other than empty bodies.

 Dukhonn! Possession Stage Two: Taking over Body and Soul! Elijah's soul suddenly split up into five, one big and four small. The smaller soul fragments together with two drops of Trinity Force inside each soul flew into the heads of all the Elijah while their eyes lit up. 

Booom! Booom! Booom!

 When the rain fell, the sky broke as a blood-red lightning dragon, a white lightning shark and a golden Thunderbird dived toward Elijah's thin figure. Knowing that everyone around him would die if he faced the three lightnings in this place, Elijah summoned his star wings and leaped into the sky towards his four clones to face the lightning head on.

 "Clones, cast the trinity shield!" Hearing his order, four  trinity shields appeared before Elijah protecting him and the clones from the thin lightning sparks shot toward him together with the three huge lightning beasts.

  "Split the lightning beasts apart, I will take one by one!" Attracting the Bloody Heart Lightning to his direction, the other four clones drove the lightning beasts away while Elijah gazed at the lightning dragon coldly.

 "Come on!" Before Elijah could continue, the lightning dragon dissolved into a million lightning blades that crossed your chest before Elijah forced himself to not let it go away.

"Stay, Stay!" Making dozens of hand seals, he absorbed some of the lightning blades while the others  made countless injured appear by each second. The Bloody Heart Lightning really lived up to its name, making Elijah bloody in less than a minute. Closing his eyes, he refined the lightning at extreme speeds while worried about his clones.

 Five minutes later, he finished  the refinement and his visions was weary.  Looking at the other two lightning beasts, Elijah sighed, "Well, its now or never."

 Flying to the lightning beasts, Elijah signaled for the clones to attract the signaled Phantom Soul Lightning before he absorbed it too. The second lightning was dozen times worse than the first, his  clones showed signs of breaking before falling to the ground and Elijah was too exhausted to make others or even use the power of a supreme origin. At the same time, countless illusions were sent into his mind trying to distract him. 

 Without noticing, his situation grew worse every second. He felt no pain because images of Yawen and Chloe appeared before his mind sank into an illusion. voices calling his name and in a moment of bewitchment he could hear her voices louder and louder.

In a crystal clear lake, Elijah was bathing in the lake before a slender hand stroked his head as a feminine figure snuggled him from behind.

"Chloe, what are you doing? You should be preparing yourself for my crowning as the king of time and the first transcendent in the universe."

"I know, it is just to incredible to believe you would really do as you promised and reach a level no one reached before." Chloe giggled before turning his face towards her.

"This just means how great the man you choose is." Pulling her over, their bodies floated in the lake while they engaged in a deep kiss. Before long, his thought grew hazy as he slowly immersed into this illusion. Splitting their lips apart, Elijah could hear each other hot breaths while he spoke in her ear.

 "It looks like you are ready to play. Wait, where is Yawen?" Hearing his question, Chloe's happy face turned sad as she replied, "What are you talking about? She has been dead over thousands of years, killed by your other self." 

  Bang! Elijah felt as if a lightning broke his soul and his vision darkened. Sensing his state of emotion, the golden gate realized something was wrong and  tried to help him recover his senses.

  Suddenly, memories of his past, Yawen and the tribulation he was facing just a moment before came to his mind. Trinity force bursted out of his body as he resisted the most he cold. 

  Chloe on the other side noticed his change and took out a dagger and  prepared to stab him but she stopped, looking at his grief-stricken face. A hint of emotion appeared on her face as she dropped the dagger and ran toward him, embracing his body while green flames healed his body and recovered his stamina.

  "Elijah, you need to wake up. The third lightning is attacking you body right now, if you don't resist it will be  your end. Please, you need to wake up!" Seeing Chloe's crying while hugging him, Elijah's heart warmed. Even if everything he was seeing was an illusion, the Chloe he saw was made by his memories and it was impossible for the Chloe in his memories to hurt him as she had an irreplaceable position in his heart.

   "Thank you, Chloe." Opening his eyes, he was back to reality and had fully absorbed the second lightning while Chloe recovered him to his peak state. Now there is only one thing he had to do.
