《My Hermit Life》Chapter 42 ( SS )
Advertisement
100,000 years after Solomon made all of the kids and parents totems nothing much had changed. Solomon had made a few new skills, he had abused his Mastery trick into oblivion, he had advanced considerably with his Dao. Solomon made a skill based of off the God Monkey race skill, 72 Transformations. The skill allowed Solomon to turn into an invisible non-physical state. This meant Solomon could easily invade a house. The only down side is he couldnt touch physical things and some formations can stop him. Another skill he made is Booming Voice. Booming Voice is a crude skill that uses principles of Bass Magic to literally make your voice boom. Solomon only made it for when he wants to make an entrance. Solomon also made a Dragoon Jump Skill that would allow him to jump upto ten thousand feet in the air.
In the way of his Dao Solomon advanced from basic comprehension to physical manifestation. Dao comprehension levels go - Basic Comprehenion - Physical Manifestation - Physical Embodiment - Heavenly Imprint - Heaven Creation - And then for those who can reach Heavenly Imprint before God-Hood there is a special level called Domain Creation.
Basic Comprehension is like a starter level with no real upsides except a small bit of increased talent.
Physical Manifestation is the level where the Dao starts to affect the body examples being increased talent, increased stats, or even special skills.
Physical Embodiment is when a being embodies the Dao allowing it to affect not only the user but surrounding space. Creating a semi-domain that can increase the users stats, comprhension, or in some way to do with their respective Dao.
Heavenly Imprint is when the user can leave an imprint of their Dao that can last for various amounts of years. Some imprints can let future generations study their Dao or it can create a space that could train future generations or some imprints can attack anybody who gets close.
Heaven Creation is when the users Dao can create an entire universe. These universes can do a multitude of things but most are used to train descendants or to study the Dao.
Domain creation can made Divine Domains better in every way, shape, and form.
All levels of Dao comprhension increase talents and/or stats.
When most beings reach Phhysical Manifestation in the Strength Dao they have an increase in physical stats and physical talents. However Solomon had maxed out his physical stats before comprehending the Strength Dao. This created a situation never before seen in the universe.

What happens when some one reaches the next level for Dao comprehension is Bells and trumpets start to play, as though the heavens are celebrating.
Instead, Solomon had Tribulation Lightning called down onto him, despite being in a seperate dimension. Tribulation Lightning is only called down when a being does something that goes against the way of the heavens, so for the lightning to be called down shows truly how amazing Solomon is.
The lightning that came down is different from the usual tribulation lightning which is usually a mix of blue, purple, and gold. This lightnign was red, black, and gold.
Solomon, despite not expecting the lightning, summoned his lightning trapping barrier that he had created for situations exactly like the current one. The barrier was origonally used during Solomon and Lorettas wedding since then though Solomon had added so many formations its impossible to compare.
After he summoned the barrier trap Solomon figured he should add a few more defenses against the unusual lightning. He knew that the Tribulation Lightning this time was hundreds of times stronger than the one he trapped during his wedding. So Solomon added not only 100 formations but also 10 other trapping barriers as well as some grounding rods to attract the lightning away from himself.
Only seconds after he completed his preperations the first lightning strike came down.
The deadly looking strike came down with the intensity of a collapsing sun. It ruptured surrounding space and seemed to shake the very dimension Solomon resided in. Solomon sat directly under the strike staring at it with a defiant look. After the wedding fiasco Solomon knew that he would never be good with the heavens. Especially sice they tried going against him and Loretta getting together. This meant Solomon was plenty happy to trap Tribulation Lightning when he had the chance.
The strike hit his barriers not even half a second after it left the dark cloud origonally housing it. The instant the strike hit the barriers a vacuum started sucking in all the energy in the air. Solomon hiself started to use various types of space magics to trap, suck, and manipulate the lightning. It took three seconds for the barriers to trap all the energy, all the while the lightning in the sky was building up energy. The cloud got darker almost like it was angry about Solomon trapping its child. The rest of the lightning lost the gold and red colors and instead became a fearsome grey and black.

Solomon didnt just sit waiting for the lightning to hit he started adding more formations.
Around this time all the other island residents exited, when they saw the situation they didnt question or yell and instead they all started to help. The children made a sealing formation using their own bodies that Solomon taught them for when they start adventuring. Loretta used her space weaving to lock down the space alot tighter than Solomon could ever do. Gabrielle posted up next to Solomon and started preparing multiple magics. Deam joined the kids to reinforce the sealing formation.
Around this time the lightning seemed to have prepared enough and started to strike. This time multiple bolts came down instead of a single one. The lightning looked extremely overbearing coming down even though it took a full three seconds to actually hit. The reason it took so long to strike despit the power advancement was because all of the added sealing from Loretta, the kids, and Solomon. It would be nearly impossible for a human under level 50 to move let alone fight in such tight space.
Whne the strike did finally hit though it hit with power and intensity that the dimension collapsed a little around the edges. Though it isntantly fixed itself fast than a mortal could blink. Solomon and Gabby experienced more force than all of the others and you could tell that neither of the two were ok. Gabby didnt get hurt as much as Solomon because at the last second Solomon shielded her with his body, this let him take the brunt of the force. Luckily his body was sturdy other wise it wouldnt have been possible for him to live. Gabby casted healing magic on herself and Solomon as soon as she could. She neglected the others because they werent anywhere near as bad as her and Solomon.
It took Solomon six seconds to feel good enough to cast formations to help his barriers trap the lightning.
Solomon rushed as fast as he could to absorb the energy as he knew that the next strike of lightning would be the last. So he wanted to be able to lay down as many defenses as possible. It took an entire thirty seconds before the barriers absorbed all the energy. After that Solomon spent a minute laying down thousands of barriers with a multitude of functions including space locking, lightning absorb, lightning defence, physical defense, Mana Absorb, and many more.
When Solomon layed one thousand, three hundred fifty-third formation a weird situation happened above him and the group. The black cloud started spinning, as it spun faster and faster it absorbed more and more Mana. It continued spinning and gathering Mana for ten minutes. The entire time Solomon was laying formations and barriers. When the cloud stopped spinning it suddenly imploded on itself and condensed into a tiny slime.
It was at that instant the group knew what was going on. The phenominon going on above was called Heavens child. This was when Heavenly Tribulation Lightning would absorb absurd amounts of Mana and then condense its self to make life. This life could be anything, from a human to a snake even a tree. No matter what though this life would try to kill whoever the previous lightning was attacking. But, if someone can trap this life they could add a soul into it allowing them to control it like a slave. If this happened the life could grow to be an insanely powerful pet, slave, friend, child, or even lover.
When Solomon and the group saw the slime the greed shooting from their eyes made the newborn slime wiggle nervously.
Solomon didnt even wait for the slime to attack he condensed all of the formations into an ultimate trapping barrier. When he condensed all the barriers he used his Dragoon Jump skill and jumped 6,000 feet into the air to be eye to eye with the slime. When he stared at the slime it tried to run away from the old uncle like stare coming from Solomon. But Solomon was having none of that he instantly slammed the barrier on either side of the slime effectively trapping it. When he landed Solomon expanded the barrier to give the slime more room and the he put it into safe keeping inside of his and Lorettas Barrier World.
Tribulation Slime
Tribulation Slimes are nearly mythological creatures simply from how rare they are. In the few instances that tribulation slimes have been found they have become powerful enough to rival gods without training. With training they have no limit. Tribulation Slimes can be considered some of the most talented non-sentient beings, with a soul nobody could estimate their limit.
