Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 641: Chapter 396 False Saint_1

Logan had always remained incredibly calm, because everything was unfolding according to his predictions. Previously, when Bart Cloud had broken through to the throne realm, it had already attracted a Thunder Tribulation. It was amidst the Thunder Tribulation that he bathed, so upon reaching the throne realm he could keep up with an ordinary Dominator. Now that he was breaking through to the Dominator realm, it was bound to bring about another refining Thunder Tribulation.

If it were anyone else, Logan might have worried they wouldn’t be able to withstand it, but Bart Cloud was confident in himself. After all, having journeyed with him through thick and thin, it was unlikely that he would fall to this trivial Thunder Tribulation. Then, turning around and seeing a few Sect Leaders still watching, he said with a playful smile.

“The opportunity has come, Aurelius Azure quickly ascend into the air, then have the others spread the word that it’s you who is undergoing the breakthrough and attracting the Thunder Tribulation.”

Aurelius Azure snapped out of his daze, then immediately did as Logan instructed. The other Sect Leaders left, dispersing this news through their subordinates while keeping strangers from getting too close to the room, fearing that proximity might reveal something.

One after another, the bolts of Divine Thunder struck down. Originally, it should have been Bart Cloud enduring them, but to keep up appearances, Aurelius Azure in the sky had no choice but to take them on. Since he had already absorbed most of their power, the threat of the Thunder Tribulation to Bart Cloud, who was in the midst of his breakthrough, was greatly reduced.

As for the breakthrough of Aurelius Azure, the news had already spread through Saint Sky Sect by the other four Sect Leaders. Initially, these disciples had been living in fear, thinking that their Great Sects could not hold out against the Blood Drinking Sect. Yet, with Aurelius Azure’s breakthrough, joy returned to them; if their Sect Leader successfully advanced to the Saintly realm, what was there to fear?

Peregrine Azure too was kept in the dark and, watching Aurelius Azure amidst the Thunder Tribulation, she wept with joy. She knew all too well that the Sect Leader had been trapped at the Quasi-Saint level for a full three hundred years with no signs of advancing to the Saintly realm. Now, as Saint Sky Sect faced a dire catastrophe, the Sect Leader was breaking through – perhaps this was the will of the heavens.

As for the spies from the Five Great Sects led by the Prosperous Heaven Sect, they became frantic at this moment, madly spreading the news of Aurelius Azure’s breakthrough. With some slack given by the other Sect Leaders, they successfully managed to escape and relay the message back to their respective Sects.

A hundred miles away from Prosperous Heaven Sect, the Sect Leaders were dumbstruck at the sight of dark clouds and the Thunder Tribulation above. Then, as their own spies returned with reports, they understood that it was Aurelius Azure who was breaking through. The next moment, they were stupefied again, as Aurelius Azure was already at the Quasi-Saint level and the next Realm would be the Saint Seat.

They had a great advantage on their side, but if Saint Sky Sect gained one more Saint Seat, the situation would become very bad for them. Their first impulse was to send forces to attack Saint Sky Sect, hoping to stop Aurelius Azure’s breakthrough. But soon after, they realized it was not feasible.

Even with their numerous forces and manpower, it would take at least three or four days to annihilate Saint Sky Sect, while Aurelius Azure would only need an hour for his breakthrough. Therefore, their only hope now was for Aurelius Azure to fail his breakthrough, or even perish amidst the Thunder Tribulation.

Unaware of the thoughts in these Sects, Aurelius Azure and Bart Cloud did not know anything; Bart Cloud was being baptized in the Thunder Tribulation, while Aurelius Azure was weakening its damage for him.

So, an hour later, after a total of one hundred Divine Thunders, even though Aurelius Azure was at the Quasi-Saint Realm, he was almost unable to bear it. Bart Cloud, of course, benefited immensely from the Thunder Tribulation, leaping to the status of Dominator and experiencing its purification and refinement.

After a long while, Bart Cloud emerged from the room, “I’ve finally reached the Dominator level, I feel like now even facing a Half-step Saint Seat wouldn’t be too troubling.”

An expression of joy was on Bart Cloud’s face; before, because of his low realm, he had been a burden to Logan, but now it was different. His current strength could already rival that of a Half-step Saint Seat, and if he encountered an ordinary foe, Logan wouldn’t need to lift a finger.

“I finally get it!” Aurelius Azure, who was above the sky, also landed in the courtyard, “You used me to help Bart Cloud get through the Thunder Tribulation smoothly? I took on more than half of the Thunder Tribulation’s attacks, making it easier for Bart Cloud. Otherwise, even if he were to succeed, he would have been at death’s door.”

“It’s a win-win situation,” Logan laughed heartily. Indeed, he had his own little scheme in mind, but Saint Sky Sect was also a beneficiary. To the outer world, the Saint Sky Sect gained an additional Saint Seat, posing a lethal threat to that hundred or so Sects and the Blood Drinking Sect.

Aurelius Azure didn’t fuss over the details, instead asking, “What’s the next step? The momentum has been created, do we just wait for the Blood Drinking Sect to flee? It seems unlikely!”

“Let the situation ferment a moment. It won’t take a day before the Blood Drinking Sect makes a move. However, before they flee, they will surely come to test you. You have to act like a true Saint Seat. As long as you don’t give yourself away, they will definitely run,” Logan advised Aurelius Azure to ease his mind. Since this plan was his own, he was sure to cover for the other party, ensuring Saint Sky Sect would be safe.

Over at the Blood Drinking Sect, the hundred plus Sect Leaders were already panicking. With Saint Sky Sect gaining a new Saint Seat, the situation suddenly turned dismal. Now, trying to take down Saint Sky Sect easily was as hard as reaching the heavens, and apart from the Saint Seat, there was also Logan to deal with.

Elliott Reynolds, the Sect Leader of Saint Sky Sect, calmed the hundred plus Sect Leaders, “Everyone, don’t panic. Are you not reputable Great Sects of the Central Region? Why are you all losing your composure? The Saint Sky Sect has a Sanctuary Powerhouse, am I not one too? Besides, we have twice as many Quasi-Saint Powerhouses as they do.”
