Allfiend and the other Elder's regrouped after the Elder was struck down, and silence descended amongst them. After watching the Elder be struck down, they knew they could not interfere with this tribulation until it was over, or their lives would be claimed from the heavens above.

They had never felt so powerless in their lives, as their opponent tonight was the heavens itself.

BOOM!

Another tribulation strike struck down, reaching incredible levels of power that began to make John's hair stand on end. Even with his incredibly durable body, his Supreme Battle Art, his Lightning Attribute Body, and his lightning comprehensions gifted from the Celestial Lightning Script, he was finding it hard to withstand the growing might of the tribulation above.

If it were anyone else in the world undergoing this tribulation at John's current realm, they would have already died ten times over.

John's scythe struck out once more, as he sent an attack out to meet the lightning.

"Gah!"

John cried out in slight pain as the lightning easily outpowered his scythe, crashing onto his body and bathing it with destructive tribulation lightning.. His skin charred in several areas, while his body slowed for a moment as lightning rampaged through.

The strike subsided, and John fell to his knees, breathing incredibly heavy.

"This can't keep going on like this.? While I can still defend right now, I can tell the lightning will eventually become too powerful for me to handle, even if I use my Immortal Asura Transformation Art. I need to think of something."

John wracked his brains for ideas during the short reprieve, going over any and all ideas that could work. After a short while of thinking, he came up with several ideas.

John put away his scythe, and his battle axe suddenly appeared in his hands. The scythe was meant for reaping lives, and was best used against other humans. However, the axe was purely meant for power destruction, and was much more suited for defending against tribulation lightning.

The power of two Dao's, the Dao of Destruction and the Dao of Power emanated from John's battle axe, as it began to glow with absolute might. The Dao of Annihilation, while incredibly powerful, was only useful on the living, and served no purpose here.

"When I first trained the Celestial Lightning Script, I used the lightning of the Elysial Lightning World Trial to wash over me. I was able to temper my body with that lightning, as well as absorb it to strengthen my Lightning Origin Essence Runes...Perhaps…"

John looked to the clouds above once more as he thought over this idea of his. The howling wind howled all around him, fluttering his robe and hair violently. He had never considered absorbing this tribulation lightning, as its power was far too destructive to consider such a thing, but John realized it was his only hope forward.

"It's the only chance I have. I have to trust in the might of the Celestial Lightning Script!"

BOOM!

Another apocalyptic lightning beam exploded out from the black clouds above and pierced towards John with incredible speed and power.

Sky Sundering Axe!

An incredibly powerful battle axe image slashed upwards from John's battle axe towards the lightning above.

Boom!

His Sky Sundering Axe collided with the tribulation lightning strike, causing an incredible explosion to radiate outwards in the sky. The sky trembled for a brief moment, before the lightning continued forwards and pierced down to John below.

However, its power had been diminished considerably, causing elation to appear in John's eyes.

"This is the way forward."

Boom!

The lightning struck on his body, and John gritted his teeth through the pain as he allowed the tribulation lightning to wash over his body. The lightning quickly pierced into his flesh, and began to rampage wildly within, seeking to destroy everything.

Through the pain, John calmed his mind as a jade piece, glowing brightly from within, appeared in his hand. He focused on the task at hand, and began to revolve his essence Qi according to the Celestial Lightning Script.

John's Qi clashed with the tribulation lightning, and was nearly incinerated by it. However, he focused his mind nonetheless, and continued to revolve his Qi according to the Celestial Lightning Script.

At first, the tribulation lightning destroyed anything it came into contact with, but by constantly fighting against it, John's comprehensions towards lightning, and especially tribulation lightning, began to rapidly grow.

After a short while of excruciating agony, he finally found himself able to fight back against the lightning, coming to a stalemate within his body. His eyes lit up with hopeful expectation, as his suspicions were confirmed.

"The Celestial Lightning Script is absolutely incredible. Not only has it been raised by Lightning Attribute Body to a level that can withstand tribulation lightning, but it can also fight back against tribulation lightning! Let's see if I can take it one step further, and absorb this tribulation lightning for my own use."

By this time, the remaining tribulation lightning rampaging through John's body was purged, and he would have to wait for the next strike to test his theory. He jumped up into the sky once more, and swiveled his head in all directions.

The smouldering ruins of buildings stretched as far as the eye could see, as the Bloodfiend Sect was nearly fully destroyed by this time. A smile appeared on John's face as he took this scene in, before his gaze shifted to a particular building still standing tall.

After a moment of pause, he sped towards the building and quickly entered at its base.

In the distance, Allfiend, who was still watching this all take place, cursed out with absolute anger and hate.

"My Bloodfiend Citadel. I will flay this bastard alive, if its the last thing I do."

BOOM!

Lightning crashed down once again, striking the top of the Bloodfiend Citadel. It ignored the buildings incredibly durable material, and pierced into it and towards John below.

John slashed out with his Sky Sundering Axe, reducing the power of the tribulation lightning, before it struck onto his body once more. The lightning rampaged through, and John instantly revolved his Celestial Lightning Script to the limits, seeking to control the rampaging lightning.

The fight within his body raged back and forth for quite some time, as John grit his teeth to withstand the absolutely agonizing pain wracking his body. Before long, calm finally descended at the base of the Bloodfiend Citadel.

John breathed out a sigh of relief, which also contained smoke from the internal damage the lightning did to his body. His body was charred all over, making him look incredibly miserable. However, a smile lingered on his face.

"I was actually able to do it," John exclaimed happily. "I absorbed tribulation lightning!"

His ecstatic gaze looked through the broken roof of the Bloodfiend Citadel to the black skies above, and he raised his arms to the side as he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Come on! Smite me down, if you can!"
