"It's common knowledge that the Eye of Celestial Tribulation only sends down eight thunderbolts out of the nine."

Miaoyin True One rushed back to Yao Family Town with the Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed Divine Statue after receiving Zhao Yi's message.

Upon hearing Zhao Yi's assertion that the Eye of Celestial Tribulation withheld the last Tribulation Thunder, Miaoyin True One sneered at his lack of knowledge again.

Miaoyin True One said seriously, "The last Tribulation Thunder of the Eye of Celestial Tribulation is called 'World-Ending Divine Thunder.' It, along with the Purple Sky Divine Thunder — the final Tribulation Thunder in the Tier Ten Supreme Saint Realm Eye of Celestial Destiny— are known as the 'Two Great Death Tribulations of the Cultivation Realm.'"

"Purple Sky Divine Thunder?" Zhao Yi's eyes gleamed.

He was far from unfamiliar with this Thunder Tribulation.

Every Zhao clan ancestor brave enough to breach the deathly barrier had succumbed beneath the Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

Miaoyin True One perceived Zhao Yi's thoughts and said solemnly, "World-Ending Divine Thunder and Purple Sky Divine Thunder are different; World-Ending Divine Thunder specifically targets evil cultivators intending to wreak havoc and destruction."

"Normally, the Eye of Celestial Tribulation sends out only eight thunderbolts. The missing thunderbolt isn't withheld; rather, it's a lifeline offered by the Eye of Celestial Tribulation to save living beings."

"The Eye of Celestial Destiny, however, is different. In the Nine-Tier Saint King Realm's challenge to the tenth tier, the Purple Sky Divine Thunder is almost always present!"

As she spoke, a hint of hatred flashed in Miaoyin True One's eyes: "Especially when it comes to the Zhao clan's breakthrough, the Purple Sky Divine Thunder is guaranteed to appear, without fail!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi's expression turned gloomy.

Initially, Zhao Yi thought little about it, merely assuming the Zhao clan's ancestors lacked sufficient cultivation skills, preventing them from surviving the Celestial Destiny Tribulation.

However, upon discovering the existence of "Ling" and seeing potential connections between the Eye of Celestial Tribulation and "Ling," Zhao Yi ceased blindly trusting so-called fate.

The final Purple Sky Divine Thunder of Celestial Destiny Tribulation must have been tampered with.

Over a millennium, countless brilliant progeny of the Zhao clan had arisen.

Ordinarily, someone should have survived the Thunder Tribulation.

Recalling how "Gu" prevented his breakthrough, Zhao Yi's face darkened further.

Someone didn't want the Zhao clan members to reach the legendary tenth tier.

The Celestial Destiny Tribulation was a test for others.

But for the Zhao clan,

It was a death trap!

Miaoyin True One watched Zhao Yi's fluctuating expressions without surprise.

Apparently, what Zhao Yi conceived, others in the Zhao clan had suspected long ago.

Miaoyin True One glanced out the window.

The turbulent, thunderous storm clouds had cleared, with daylight now shining openly.

Miaoyin True One couldn't help but sneer, "It's ironic how the Eye of Celestial Tribulation, representing retribution and death, offers a lifeline, while the Eye of Celestial Destiny, signifying transformation and hope, cuts off the path ahead. The cosmos is overturned, yin and yang reversed. Truly ironic!"

Zhao Yi remained silent.

Miaoyin True One and Zhao clan ancestors might have uncovered certain secrets over the years, but their lack of relevant knowledge ultimately limited their perspective.

In botany, there's a term called 'apical dominance.'

The apical growth of a plant's main stem is rapid; this dominant growth behavior hinders side bud germination or suppresses lateral branch growth.

If one wants a plant to grow lush and dense, with strong roots and stems, then the upward growth rate must be restrained to encourage more side buds and branches.

In such cases, one must cut off the apical tip of the plant, removing the apical dominance.

Harvesting leeks is just like this.

Once leeks grow to a certain extent, their tops must be cut off, removing apical dominance.

This way, the leeks grow plump and can continue to sprout, cultivating more leeks.

Clearly, this world of the plot is someone else's leek garden.

The Zhao clan is the tip of the budding leek.

The Zhao clan fell; those gifted heroes were removed apical advantages.

"They deserve to die!"

With killing intent flashing in his eyes, Zhao Yi thought of the "Ling" in the Divine Sense Space.

No one is willing to be penned like livestock.

Even if the Zhao clan is the best-fed pig in the pen, it won't suffice!

Miaoyin True One sensed Zhao Yi's dark mood, and immediately discerned his thoughts.

She glanced at the casually discarded Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed Divine Statue on the ground and asked, "What comes next, do we let the Taotie devour this item as well?"

Just as Zhao Yi was about to respond, his heart suddenly stirred.

In the next moment, his Divine Soul entered the Divine Sense World.

The projection of the Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed "Ling" underwent new changes.

It seemed to have absorbed some power from the Eye of Celestial Tribulation, its projection more solid than before.

The tall black projection pierced the heavens and earth, the thousand hands of "Ling" open wide, with a blood-red eye in the palm emitting a strange and wicked aura.

Zhao Yi glanced at the Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed "Ling," suppressing his inner trepidation before turning to "Gu."

"Gu" had undergone significant changes.

"Gu" appeared suddenly, formed as Zhao Yi's mystical gate reached its limits, creating the Mystic Gate World.

After Zhao Yi's physique was battered by the Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed "Ling," enhancing again, "Gu's" shadow also grew larger.

Zhao Yi suspected "Gu's" power was closely tied to his own physique.

Moments ago, having endured five Tribulation Thunders head-on, Zhao Yi's physique was tempered to nearly perfect limits, nearly breaking through to Tier Nine Saint King Realm.

"Gu's" shadow had indeed grown massively, outstripping the consolidation of Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed "Ling."

As Zhao Yi beheld "Gu," he couldn't help feeling dazed.

Though "Gu's" appearance remained indiscernible, with contours faintly revealed, it strangely bore a seventy percent resemblance to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath.

After observing "Gu," Zhao Yi turned again to regard the Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed "Ling."
