THE LAST PARAGON IN THE APOCALYPSE

Inside Klaus's soul sea, the second qi sea was gradually forming as more tribulation runes were being absorbed, both from the ones Klaus was directly taking in and those coming through from the Tribulation Prison. At this point, one could say it was more like tribulation rune farming rather than a heavenly tribulation for an Ascendant. Klaus was making it look so effortless that those watching, with the exception of Ohema, were in disbelief. It was hard to stay composed, considering the anomaly causing such an event.

Just a few weeks ago, these individuals had gathered and planned to invade Earth and seize the planet for their race. This was because only a fourth of the moon was habitable. The remaining three-quarters were inhospitable. Their living space was shrinking as time passed. Like Earth, the moon had its share of monsters. But unlike Earth, the monsters here were far more vicious. Perhaps due to the dense spiritual qi on the moon, the monsters were significantly stronger than most found on Earth. Because of this, the moon's inhabitants wanted to relocate.

They needed a planet instead of a moon; then again, the moon was their home. Read exclusive adventures at empire But they needed a safer space. Although their manpower was limited, with Ohema included, they had eight Ascendant stage experts, one Void stage expert, and several Sovereigns. This gave them a great deal of confidence. However, their reality was shattered by the person currently handling the tribulation for an Ascendant. They needed to rethink their plans, or else things wouldn't go well for them if they made any foolish move.

Who knew how many people like Klaus were hiding on Earth? Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! The heavens rumbled, and when the last Leviathan was sucked into the TPP, the dense, dark clouds of the tribulation began to churn. "The third stage is coming, also this is where I always start to suffer," Queenie said to Klaus, looking very worried. Indeed, she was. This was where the heavens always played their trick. "I am fine, my Overlord. You just have to sit down and let me handle it for you," Klaus smiled.

"But things might get ugly from here onward, so if you can't watch, you can start reciting the mantra I showed you. That will calm your mind." "You are taking this rather easily. Aren't you scared?" she asked again. Truth be told, she had been thinking of Klaus ever since she kissed him and ran off. She had been thinking about what to do when she broke through and returned to Earth. Of course, that was shattered when Klaus appeared on the moon. Currently, she doesn't know what to do. So she just sat there like a child, following every arrangement Klaus made without uttering a single question.

Of course, her heart was beating rather fast just looking into his eyes. Now, she started to understand some of the perverted things Nari used to tell her. She cursed herself for not paying attention to them more. Thankfully, Klaus wasn't making any moves on her yet, so she could only hope things would work out in the end. "Don't worry, I won't die until I kiss those lips," Klaus said with a smile, making her heart nearly shatter. 'His smile is contagious,' she thought.

Suddenly, the base of the lightning tower appeared, bringing with it a terrifying will that declared the heavens were not happy about what was happening. However, they couldn't bypass the rules imposed by the Lightning Source diagram. It was shielding Queenie's presence despite her invoking the tribulation. Right now, it was a tribulation for an Ascendant, but it had to adapt to a Grandmaster with too much karma attached to him because he was a Paragon. A very complicated situation for the heavens. Klaus wasn't just manipulating them; he was also defying them openly. They could feel it.

The Paragon they aimed to kill was growing stronger. However, they couldn't do anything but follow the rules of the tribulation and hope his luck would run out. If they were to go against the rules, it would cause more harm than good. Of course, they could choose to take that risk and use any means necessary to kill Klaus, but doing so would cause too much damage. Who knew how many of their own would perish in their effort to kill one person? But was Klaus just an ordinary person? This was the question that led the heavens to play a new game against him.

Klaus was about to witness their cruelty, using sheer numbers to try to kill him without breaking any rules. Since Klaus had found a loophole, they had found one to exploit as well. Of course, their loophole was within Klaus's calculations. They were about to send a horde of monsters made of tribulation runes. But funnily, Klaus also needed a large number of tribulation runes himself. In a way, it was a win-win-win-lose-win situation for Klaus. He would win because his loophole was working. The heavens would also win because they found a way to overwhelm him with their numbers.

Then he would win again because the tribulation runes would continue pouring in. It was their loss, as they couldn't stop what they had started. In the end, Klaus would win because he capitalized on the cruelty and whims of the heavens. Rumble! Doors and windows opened in the tower, and like a waterfall, monsters began pouring out. The heavens made their move, sending out the first level of the tower and unleashing thousands of monsters. Klaus smiled and transmitted to the senior.
