"What is Tribulation Thunder?" the protagonist asked in confusion.

The old monk was almost driven mad with urgency.

He almost shouted with all his might, "At a time like this, you're still asking what Tribulation Thunder is? Run, run quickly, or it'll be too late!"

The protagonist was instantly jolted.

Ever since he met the old monk, the monk had always maintained the demeanor of an enlightened master.

Unperturbed by wind and clouds, calm in his demeanor.

The protagonist had never seen the old monk lose his composure like this.

Immediately, the protagonist dared not hesitate any longer and turned towards Yao Su, shouting, "Go, leave here quickly!"

Yao Su seemed to be scared stiff, staring blankly at the sky, motionless.

The protagonist called her twice, but she was completely unresponsive, as if in a daze.

The old monk continued to urge, "The tribulation clouds are about to form, hurry!"

Upon hearing this, the protagonist decided not to bother about anything else. He swiftly moved beside Yao Su, grabbed her arm, and was just about to pull her away when he suddenly felt a chill at the bottom of his heart, as if he was being watched by something terrifying.

Instinctively, the protagonist looked up, and saw on the dark clouds above, a giant, emotionless, gray-black eye suddenly opening, coldly watching him.

"Oh no!"

The old monk was so frightened at the sight of that eye that he almost lost his soul.

"The Eye of Celestial Tribulation!"

"This is the legendary Eye of Celestial Tribulation!"

"Little monk, what have you done to incur the wrath of heaven?"

The protagonist's face turned bitter.

What had he done?

The protagonist didn't know what he did to incur the wrath of heaven!

He was clearly the victim.

Why is it that he always ends up hurt in the end?

"Arhat Ancestor Master, what should we do now?"

The protagonist knew that arguing now would only waste time.

Instead of making feeble explanations, it's better to think of a way to save oneself.

"Endure!"

The old monk responded decisively.

As if worried the protagonist might misunderstand his reluctance to help, he explained, "The Eye of Celestial Tribulation has already locked onto you, running away will only lead to a faster death; resisting might still offer a slim chance of survival!"

After saying this, the old monk suddenly sensed something, and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, your cultivation..."

The protagonist interrupted him, "Ancestor Master, this is not the time to talk about this, let's focus on what's urgent, what's the situation with that Eye of Celestial Tribulation?"

Though the old monk was full of doubts, he knew the protagonist was right, now was indeed not the time to discuss these matters.

The old monk explained, "The Eye of Celestial Tribulation, also known as the Eye of Celestial Punishment, is one of the 'two great Thunder Tribulations' in the Cultivation Realm along with the Eye of Celestial Destiny. The Eye of Celestial Destiny is the Celestial Destiny Thunder Tribulation when a cultivator at Tier Nine Saint King Realm breaks through to Tier Ten. The Eye of Celestial Tribulation is the Celestial Punishment Thunder Tribulation that punishes those who are unspeakably evil. Little monk, what have you truly done to incite the Eye of Celestial Tribulation?"

Upon hearing this, the protagonist's brow furrowed deeply.

That's not right!

The protagonist knew the facts were not as the old monk said.

He's not being targeted by the Eye of Celestial Tribulation for committing some heinous act.

It's because the altar was shattered.

The "spirit" of the altar has likely already perished.

The Eye of Celestial Tribulation is here for retribution.

Or,

more accurately,

the Eye of Celestial Tribulation is dealing with the burial arrangements for the altar's "spirit"!

For some reason.

The protagonist suddenly had a very familiar sense of déjà vu.

Then, he suddenly thought of it.

The Great Xia Zhao Clan.

After Prince Zhi died, Zhao Yi made the entire Four Seas Commerce Association his burial company.

The actions of the Eye of Celestial Tribulation were identical to those of the Zhao Clan.

If it wasn't because the Zhao Clan's rise was too brief, the protagonist might almost believe the Eye of Celestial Tribulation was controlled by the Zhao Clan.

Thinking of this, the protagonist looked up at the Eye of Celestial Tribulation.

Celestial Tribulation? Celestial Punishment?

He suddenly felt that these two names were quite ironic.

Zhao Yi killing the people of Four Seas Commerce Association at least had the reason of them worshipping the Evil God and harming royal relatives.

This Eye of Celestial Tribulation's annihilation of a person was completely without reason.

Just because the "spirit" had perished.

So they must be his burial company.

How does this qualify as Celestial Punishment?

So ridiculous!

Perhaps sensing the protagonist's disdain, the Thunder Dragons in the sky stirred restlessly.

That eye was immense, entirely black, the same color as the surrounding darkness of the clouds. Only the pupil was gray, a color mixed from the silver Thunder Dragons and the dark clouds.

The Eye of Celestial Tribulation bore no emotional color, coldly fixing its gaze on the protagonist, an immense oppression sweeping down like the sky collapsing.

The protagonist let out a muffled groan, almost unable to resist kneeling immediately.

"Be careful!"

The old monk warned, "The Eye of Celestial Tribulation has begun its attack! There will be nine Tribulation Thunders in total; as long as you withstand the first eight, this critical test will be considered passed!"

"Why?" the protagonist asked in confusion.

The old monk replied, "Actually, the Ninth Tribulation Thunder is the true Celestial Punishment Thunder Tribulation, but that Thunder Tribulation is intended for those cultivators who have slaughtered countless innocents and wrecked havoc. You haven't reached that level, so there's no need for the true Celestial Punishment Thunder to kill you!"

"I see." The protagonist nodded.

At that moment, two enormous Thunder Serpents suddenly soared from the tribulation clouds, the dazzling silver lightning illuminating the entire sky.

"Why are there two?" The old monk paused for a moment.

Then, he belatedly noticed the still-dazed Yao Su nearby.

The old monk was only in soul body state.

If he were still in human form, his face would probably be green by now.

He stammered shakily, "Two people facing tribulation simultaneously means the Thunder Tribulation's power is directly amplified!"

Upon hearing this, the protagonist's expression changed instantly.

He hadn't known of such a situation.

If he had known before that the power of Thunder Tribulation could stack, he would have left earlier.
