The Witch Hunter System - Chapter 915

Chapter 915: Eating the Tribulation Lightning (2)



Shortly after Valefor swallowed the last trace of tribulation lightning, he immediately isolated himself inside a secluded mountain cave in the Purpleflame Territory.

The Purpleflame Territory had few visitors and fewer who could travel to many places in the burning land. Thus, he figured it was the best place to bury himself in researching the power of lightning tribulation.

The sooner he figured out how to effectively use it, the faster he would grow.

Meanwhile, the Fifth Progenitor and the other high-ranking vampires of Vladigold City were left behind to handle the aftermath of the heavenly devastation.

Although many buildings were leveled to the ground and the underground sewage system became a wreck, the high-ranking vampires in city managerial positions didn't mind the extensive city damage as much.

Instead, they only felt fortunate that the casualties among the livestock were minimal.

After all, they had already lost a significant amount of livestock in the previous battle between Abaddon and Hecate. The city couldn't keep taking such big hits on their livestock count.

It would seriously affect the flow of their blood currency and force a heavier blood restriction on their daily drinking limit. Even if the lower-ranking vampires didn't want to follow it, they would have no choice but to do so.

In times of droughts, humans had to conserve water, while vampires conserved blood. It was the natural solution to sustain themselves.

Nevertheless, while the various demon races and humans worked together to clean up the city and restore their normal lives under the vampires' direction, the scene of Valefor challenging the lightning tribulation was relived in their minds.

The unforgettable experience was etched into their memories permanently.

They didn't expect their new ruler to be so powerful. Even something as powerful as the heavenly punishment couldn't do anything to him.

However, everyone also realized they didn't know anything about the heavenly punishment. As such, the curious ones all visited libraries to look up whatever they could find on it.

The Fifth Progenitor, in particular, was the most curious about the heavenly punishment. After all, he knew a bit about the heavenly laws and understood the heavens wouldn't deliver heavenly punishment for no reason.

As such, there had to be something extraordinary about the lightning tribulation.

Valefor decided to research the lightning tribulation because he also felt it was something particularly extraordinary.

However, Valefor did not reach the Divine Lord level; it was something in between, known as the Half-step Divine Lord level. Reaching this level implied becoming a true Divine Lord was just around the corner.

Only further time and consolidation of power were needed to reach it.

Although Valefor had never reached the Divine Lord level in the original timeline, he was quite certain he was only at the Half-step Divine Lord level.

This was because a Divine Lord had absolute control over their laws within a fixed domain. Unless they faced another Divine Lord or stronger being who comprehended the same law, no other being would be able to wield the same law against them.

That was the authority of a Divine Lord-something Valefor felt he had yet to acquire despite sensing his Asura Law and Blood Law strengthening after the breakthrough.

He also felt some control over the Lightning Law but it was still far from one worthy of a

Divine Lord.

Nevertheless, the results were still far better than what he had hoped for.

"I did expect to gain something, but I didn't expect it to be this great," Valefor muttered with

delight.

Although the advancement to the Half-step Divine Lord level was smooth and simple, it wasn't the biggest benefit of absorbing the lightning tribulation's power; it was increasing

his law comprehension.

Just by absorbing the lightning tribulation, he could automatically improve the

understanding of his laws.

How heaven-defying was that?

Valefor figured such an envious benefit had to do with the fact that the lightning tribulation was formed by the heavenly laws and contained some of its secrets.

Suddenly, Valefor didn't mind getting struck by the lightning tribulation a few more times.
