Dykkors

With 1 year left until the aether shows it's head Percy decided to go on journey around the world in hopes to have a breakthrough into core formation realm. Letting his parents know of his plans Percy stored plenty of food and water in his space ring before turning into his half dragon form and taking off towards the west in hopes for a lucky chance. While in flight over the pacific ocean a portal suddenly opens up in front of Percy. Before Percy had the chance to turn around the portal closed behind him keeping him from escaping. "Calm down Percy do not panic I had to forcefully summon you here because of a urgent matter" A voice echoed into Percy's head "Wait ancient one is that you? What is happening to make you summon me without warning?" Percy asks bothered by the rushed conditions of his summoning. "It is Dormammu he is attempting to bring some form of other worldly being here to bring destruction Kamar-Taj to make it easier for him to escape." The ancient one explains. "Do you have any idea as to what it is he is summoning?" Percy asks sensing the panic in the ancient ones voice. "He is attempting to summon forth a group of his servants the Dykkors. They are a race of demons that live in the dark dimension with him." The ancient explains as Percy steps through the portal joining her. "Very well I will help, Just point me in the direction and I will try my best." Percy says preparing for battle. "Not quite yet Percy, if my visions are correct you have

around 5 months until they will be here." the ancient one says "That works out well for me, I can practice some more until they arrive. Just let me know when they are here" Percy replies before heading to his old room to cultivate before their arrival.

During the months that Percy cultivated he finally broke through to foundation establishment level 7. Finally reaching this level Percy knew the only thing left was to shatter his foundation and compress it into a core. What Percy was not sure of however was the heavenly tribulation that would come with it. If it was anything like described in the wuxia novels then it would be a world shaking event for him, one that could potentially kill him if he is not careful. Before Percy was able to begin breaking through he was awakened from his cultivation by the ancient one letting him know to prepare himself for the up coming battle. "Hey ancient one I have a small request of you once this ends. Would it be alright with you if after this is over I was allowed to see the Time stone?" Percy asks hoping the ancient one will allow it. "If we survive this ordeal I do not see why not. Just be careful with it however, it is not a toy." The ancient one says slightly surprised he knows the real name for the eye of Aggamotto.

Walking out onto the courtyard Percy is welcomed to the sight of barriers surrounding the area attempting to trap the dykkors in when they make their appearance. Feeling a strong rumble in the air Percy looks up to see a portal opening up releasing 10 Dykkors. Slightly cocky from the power up with his progressed cultivation Percy assumes his half dragon form before dashing towards one of the Dykkors attempting to one shot it with a energy clad fist. However much to Percy's displeasure his fist collided with one of the Dykkors and instead of blasting it into a thousand pieces his punch only manages to shatter the arm of it. In the Dykkors retaliation it grabs Percy and attempts to take a bite out of his arm. Thankfully for Percy his scales took most of the damage however its teeth were still able to tear a gash into his arm. Summoning dragonfang Percy manages to slice of the Dykkors arm before decapitating it before having to waste to much more energy. Looking back down to the other Dykkors Percy watches as Mordo and the ancient one team up on another of the Dykkors killing it before it was able to kill another of the apprentices. While flying is way down towards a group of apprentices a Dykkor jumps out of hiding before stabbing its claws into Percys side breaking a rib. Enraged Percy sends a eldritch whip grabbing it's leg flipping it onto its face. Dashing over Percy decapitates the it before landing. Enraged at himself for not paying attention Percy makes his way to the others and helps them slowly finish off the rest of the Dykkors. Finally able to catch his break Percy realizes that at some point he had been poisoned by one of them.

"Is it finally over?" Percy asks pale from the poison. "I am afraid not quite yet" Mordo responds point up as the portal begins to glow. "I have a idea on how to close that portal. If it works the portal will close and I will become a lot stronger. If it doesn't well, I don't want to think about that." Percy Pants before flying towards the portal. "Well here goes nothing" Percy says to himself as he shatters his foundation and slowly begins to turn it into a core. As Percy slowly transforms his foundation establishment cultivation level into a core condensation level cultivation base the wind in the area begins to blow rapidly. Clouds begin to cover the sky in every direction until not a visible spot of the sky is visible in the area. "Ancient on what is Percy doing the concentration of magical energies in the area has skyrocketed to levels that is beginning to make it hard for me to breath" Wong asks "I wish I knew Wong. You are right about the concentration of magical energies, it is so high that it has almost taken a solid form." The ancient one answers as she tries to understand what Percy is doing.

In every part of the world governments everywhere began to pick up on the disturbance surrounding Kamar-Taj. Even on Asgard the more magically inclined Asgardians were able to sense the violent fluctuations that were happening on earth. As Percy's cultivation base finally formed a core the surrounding area just froze as a heaven shattering lightning bolt came down from the clouds striking at Percy. Having recovered most of his strength thanks to the advancement to core formation Percy braced himself for the first strike of the heavenly tribulation. According to his sutra the more of the lightning strikes he can take absorb into his body, the more refined it will be providing a higher degree in strength elevation. Watching as the first lightning strike shatters the portal Percy is inwardly relieved that his plan worked. As the first of seven lightning strikes Percy was surprised when the strike hit him he felt almost no pain from it, only pure bliss as the energy from the lightening began to transform his body. As the second and third strike hit his body the heavenly tribulation seemed like it was able to detect the happiness in Percy as the size of the fourth strike dwarfed the first 3. Panicked Percy braces himself when the fourth strike hits him however the same effect as the first 3 happened albeit at a much higher rate. "HAHA IS THAT ALL YOU GOT" Percy yells at the clouds hoping to coax it into a even stronger strike. As the fifth and sixth strike dwarfed the previous ones Percy was unable to fully absorb the 6 strike into his body noticing that some of the energy entered his cultivation base helping condense his core. Surprised at what happened Percy was ecstatic with the heavenly tribulations effect. As the last tribulation lightning began charging a lough roar was heard from the cloud before a bolt of lightning in the shape of a serpentine dragon began forming. As the dragon slowly took form Percy began panicking as he could feel the concentration of energy in it. Summoning dragonfang Percy coated his body in energy as he braced for impact. Roaring one last time the dragon shaped tribulation light flew toward Percy before striking him. As Percy felt his body being slowly torn apart by the lightning, he could also feel the lightning helping his body rebuild as well. As the tribulation clouds slowly begin dispersing Percy slowly floats now from the sky as the ancient one and Wong run up to Percy to check on him. Before the duo arrive they begin to hear Percy laughing before he zooms of at the speed of sound cackling with excitement at breakthrough. As Percy comes back to Kamar-Taj the Ancient greets him. "Welcome back Percy I am glad your plan worked otherwise we would not be here now." She says visibly exhausted "Do I still have your permission to inspect the time stone tomorrow?" Percy asks "You may come any time you wish to view it" the ancient one answers. As the two separate Percy uses his sling ring to conjure a portal back to his home so he can prepare himself to finally come in contact with a infinity stone.
