The energy then slammed directly into Shura who was in the middle of absorption.

Tu Zhang and the others were too late they could only watch as it happened

…..

On the altar Shura could see everyone’s eyes focus on him, but at the moment he was in pain, blood was rolling in his body and his heart felt like it was going to burst his eyes had already turned red. His pale skin started turning red as well and one could see his veins appearing like worms on his body. It was like he was experiencing the world worst torture.

Flashes of runes could be seen appearing on his skin, and the mana in the area seemed to form chains in the air tying to restrict him. The clouds in the sky suddenly turned dark and even flashes of thunder was seen.

While all these things happened on the outside. Internally Shura’s body was being destroyed and reconstructed. His heart split then reformed. Forming a vague outlook of three separate hearts that seemed to get formed more accurately and became solid entities once they split, this process happened five times. When it happened the sixth time, lightning in the sky suddenly came down and hit Shura, all spectating Patriarchs, Leaders and some elders seemed to think of something.

‘Heavenly Tribulation’

The transformation of his hearts isn’t the only thing Shura was experiencing, on the outside his skin began to emit grey smoke then as his skin turned pitch black.

After which his muscles began to harden and some bones in his body began to grow weirdly. The bone section just below his wrist seemed to separate one layer from the top of itself and expanded, turning into two thick bracelets.

These bone bracelets turned into pitch black the minute they surfaced from his skin then at a speed neither too slow nor fast, golden runes began to appear them .

The broken skin from which they surfaced had already healed, the bracelets which were wide and thick enough to be called shackles stayed above his arms like two accessories. The same bracelets appeared on his ankles.

Stolen story; please report.

Then an exoskeleton armor appeared on his chest, they were cast from his upper layer of muscle and his ribcage protecting his upper body . His normally white irises were nowhere to be seen as his entire eye turned grey.

After that another ray of thunder shot down and struck shura making him huff and cough up blood that was obliterated the minute it left his mouth by residual energy.

Inside his body there was the sound of breaking glass from his stomach area, this sound came from his dantian which stored the mana for all mages that successfully completed the elemental body. but what happened next completely subverted his cognition Inside his chest an object could be seen floating around. This object looked weird, it looked as if it was a black a black tear drop, one can feel the negative emotions coming from it was absorbing the mana and turning it into a different type of energy, growing larger with each breath. Inside of it one would feel as if they were watching the process of death itself. He felt an inexplicable thought that if he

With a roar grey and black mist came from his body and turned into a black rhombus shaped crystal as big as Shuras hand.

Boom!

Another lightning strike hit Shura's shaking and mutilated body.Even further damaging the altar.

With a cough Shura then Extended his hand and the crystal like tear drop floated upon his palm. He felt connected to it as if it was created from him and was a part of him. The crystal then split apart from the top and spread in different directions like flower petals. On each of these extended crystal edges Shura could see runes of different colors coursing through the crystal.

Around this crystal appeared different magic circles in a special layout. Around the center, there was a magic circle which had the image of flowing water that had an ice crystal in the middle, and orbiting this magic circle was a vague magic circle that had two different colored liquids contained within it. One was white with sparkling light, which made It look like a river of stars. The second looked like a brown liquid but the magic circle containing them was vague as if it can disappear at any moment.

The next magic circle appeared a large mountain orbiting this magic circle was a smaller concise magic circle with the image of of different colored rocks inside of it.

In a separate magic circle appeared lightning but this lightning divided every second into white and black.

The upper levels of the orb had four laid out scrolls which each had, darkness, Starlight, space and destiny written on it. But unlike the three concise scrolls the one with Destiny written on it was vague almost non existent.

It was then that the fourth lightning strike came down shattering his body leaving some burning flesh, but at this point shura couldn’t pay attention to the pain he felt because he was experiencing new changes.

His body healed quickly then he started experiencing new changes to his body.
