After John finished reading the quest details, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

The first objective required him to fight a life-and-death battle against the strongest demigods of the current era.

The second objective required him to face, one by one, those monstrous demigods who had amazed countless eras.

As for the third objective...

It meant he had to achieve something no demigod powerhouse had ever touched throughout the entire River of Time.

In short, from every direction and with no blind spots, the quest was forcing him to become the strongest demigod with no predecessor and no successor.

"This is a little too much of a trap."

As John thought this, the corners of his eyes quietly glanced toward the three women.

Those three were also heaven-defying monsters, yet they seemed to have had smooth journeys all along and had never encountered such ridiculous quests like his.

However!

How could a grown man compare himself with little women?

In the end, the richness of the quest rewards matched the difficulty of the objectives.

High risk, high reward.

That was only natural.

...

John closed the quest bar and did not hurry to leave.

First, he cleared everything on his panel that could be upgraded. His level was locked at the Demigod Limit, all attribute points were allocated, and all skills that needed to be learned or upgraded were dealt with.

Only then did he raise his eyes and look at the projection slowly dissipating in the void before him.

Just now, he had personally witnessed the scene of that eternal sea of thunder.

In that vision, countless Ascension Trial challengers from innumerable space-times were reduced to ashes beneath the heavenly tribulation.

No matter what race they belonged to, what strength they possessed, how many methods they had prepared for the Ascension Trial, or how much of a price they had paid...

The moment Lightning Tribulation descended, everything turned into nothingness.

After John finished watching, he merely smiled.

"You showed me all that to scare me?"

"Countless powerhouses across countless space-times failed their Ascension Trials. What does that have to do with me?"

"They failed because they were too weak."

"If the heavenly tribulation wants to come, then let it come. I’m not afraid of you."

The moment his words fell, the entire Law Furnace of Thunder began to tremble. Its rumbling sounded like the roars of ten thousand beasts, as if it were expressing some ancient wrath.

John chuckled.

In the next instant, a waterfall-like torrent of thunder liquid surged out from the furnace, carrying world-destroying pressure as it swept toward him.

John had just seen countless Ascension Trial challengers.

Those powerhouses had at most encountered several bolts of Lightning Tribulation falling at the same time.

But what John faced was an entire waterfall of thunder pouring down.

"Good timing!"

He shouted and leapt up to meet it.

"Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body!"

"Devour Tribulation Power!"

The Lightning Tribulation waterfall looked fierce, but John’s 90% true damage immunity was right there.

Aside from law-level attacks, no damage could pose a serious threat to him.

Instead, the violent thunder liquid was continuously absorbed into his body and refined.

[You are devouring Tribulation Power. Tribulation Power +10,000,000!]

[You are devouring Tribulation Power. Tribulation Power +50,000,000!]

[You are devouring Tribulation Power. Tribulation Power +90,000,000!]

John’s devouring speed became faster and faster, as if he were a bottomless abyss.

Very soon, he devoured that Lightning Tribulation waterfall completely. The signs of advancement from his Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body were already on the verge of erupting.

"Still not enough!"

"Again!"

Rumble!

The Law Furnace of Thunder let out a powerless yet furious roar.

It had probably never seen this kind of monster before!

To others, heavenly tribulation was a fatal judgment.

To him, it was nourishment delivered to his doorstep.

John grew impatient waiting.

He simply charged straight into the depths of the furnace.

In an instant, his entire body was soaked in thunder liquid, and all he could see was surging purple-golden light.

"You’re too slow!"

"I might as well do it myself!"

"Devour! Devour! Devour!"

Prompts exploded wildly.

[You are devouring Tribulation Power. Tribulation Power +100,000,000!]

[You are devouring Tribulation Power. Tribulation Power +600,000,000!]

[You are devouring Tribulation Power. Tribulation Power +1,500,000,000!]

Although this Law Furnace of Thunder was merely a projection, it was connected to the one and eternal source within the laws of the universe.

John was like an unstoppable water pump, madly swallowing thunder liquid. He even began to affect the true thunder seas across countless space-times.

After an unknown amount of time—

[Ding! You have reached the upper limit for devouring Tribulation Power!]

[Prompt: Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body has advanced!]

John stopped devouring and closed his eyes, sensing the surging changes inside his body.

The panel for his new physique unfolded before his eyes.

[Eternal Tribulation Indestructible Body]

[Special Effects]:

Nemesis of Tribulation: Immune to all heavenly tribulations below God King level.

Incarnation of Tribulation: Can transform into heavenly tribulation to suppress all enemies. Power increases as strength grows.

Tribulation Source Body: Can mobilize the source energy of the Law of Thunder. This effect increases as strength grows.

Indestructible Body: As long as the Law of Thunder is not destroyed, you will remain eternally deathless.

Tribulation Dao Fortune: Immune to all illusions, instant death, fate alteration, and causality alteration.

After John finished reading, he fell silent for a full three breaths.

Then he took a deep breath.

"As long as the Law of Thunder is not destroyed, I will remain eternally deathless..."

"In other words, even if I die, I can directly revive through the law source."

"Theoretically speaking, am I already undying, indestructible, eternal, and immortal?"

"And there’s also Tribulation Dao Fortune! Immune to instant death, immune to fate alteration, immune to causality alteration, immune to all illusions."

What did this mean?

It meant that the Law of Illusion was completely ineffective against him.

It was equivalent to directly becoming immune to an entire law system.

"This trip to the Ascension Trial was a huge profit."

The corners of John’s mouth curved upward, and he could not help sighing softly.

At that moment, the projection of the Law of Thunder before him slowly dissipated, and the void returned to its original chaotic appearance.

After the projection ended, John stood up and looked toward the outer heavens.

"It’s time to head to the Skyvault Consortium."

The moment this thought appeared, his heart suddenly tightened without warning.

The characteristic of the Eye of Fate had triggered.

Crisis warning.

Whenever John formed a thought that would bring about tremendous risk, this heart-pounding feeling would be triggered.

"I had the thought of going outside, so the warning appeared."

"In other words... there is danger outside. A very powerful danger."

He understood this clearly.

Countless High God-level powerhouses in the myriad-race universe wished they could tear him to pieces, let alone that peak God King who had yet to show himself.

There was also the Demon King Council, with whom he had already formed a grudge.

On top of that, other factions such as the Shadow Divine Court and Eternal Summit each had their own thoughts.

Right now, there were far more existences who wanted him dead than those who wanted him alive.

John pondered for a moment and soon made a decision.

"In that case, I’ll thoroughly modify my puppet clone."

"My main body will remain in the human plane to cultivate and guard human territory."

"In the future, I’ll let the clone travel outside in my place. That will be the safest option."

"Besides, that clone’s strength is synchronized with my main body, and its gains are synchronized as well. There is no difference at all."

Once he thought of it, he acted.

[You have consumed 50,000 High God Source to modify yourself!]

[You have consumed countless High God-level and demigod-grade items to modify yourself!]

[You have consumed a large amount of divine power, experience, and potential to modify yourself!]
