With Chi Xue and Po Tian working together, Ling Tian finally pierced through the ninth tribulation cloud. The hole he blasted through was fairly large, enough for them to see what lay above the ninth tribulation cloud. When they saw that no tribulation clouds had gathered there, Ling Tian and the others were overjoyed. It meant there were no more tribulation clouds above the ninth one—in other words, their earlier guess had been right: the final lightning tribulation had at most nine layers of tribulation clouds.
Of course, verifying their earlier guess wasn't the most important thing. The crucial point was that, with no other tribulation clouds above the ninth, they now had a chance to attack the firmament directly and open a passage to the world beyond. Only then would they have a chance to break free from the Lord of the Universe's restraints.
Besides, this meant Ling Tian and the others would break free from the Lord of the Universe's restraints by relying on their own strength, rather than because the Lord of the Universe had gone easy on them. In other words, this was the limit of the Lord of the Universe's power. Once Ling Tian and the others forced their way through the firmament, they would have a chance to take Ling Chou and their other loved ones out of the universe.
Ling Tian had already explained the many benefits of taking their loved ones out of the universe directly. Now that they finally had a chance to do so, it was no wonder he was so excited.
Chi Xue, Po Tian, and the others were just as excited. Even the cultivators currently undergoing tribulation were fired up, because they, too, believed they had a chance to escape the Lord of the Universe's restraints unscathed. It
