Thunder Tribulation

"Rumble!"

As lightning illuminated all directions, a terrifying thunderclap boomed, as though the entire world had shuddered.

The thunder seemed to carry the sound of slaughter. Such a horrifying display shattered the courage of countless living beings; within Yu Province, many human cultivators and mortals, demon beasts, and other creatures were so terrified by the heavenly thunder's might that their livers and gallbladders burst, and they died miserably on the spot!

The destructive power contained within the eighth heavenly thunder was more than a hundred and twenty times that of the first. Its mere aura was enough to kill most beings below the Heavenly Monarch level.

Fortunately, this thunderbolt had been aimed at Shen Mo. Otherwise, who knew how many lives would have been buried for nothing.

Facing the descending heavenly thunder, however unwilling he might have been, Lin Zhaozai had no choice but to employ immortal arts and try to block it...

When Shen Mo had appeared within his White Bone Dao Body, Lin Zhaozai had actually had two choices;

The first was to disperse this colossal white skeleton directly, instantly reducing Shen Mo's schemes to nothing.

Yet if he did so, Lin Zhaozai would have to spend several years condensing his White Bone Dao Body anew. It would be tantamount to letting Shen Mo pass this tribulation unscathed.

Though Shen Mo had already erected the Divine Bridge, his various tribulations had not yet passed;

Strictly speaking, only by eliminating every "heavenly disaster, earthly calamity, and human misfortune" could one be considered to have completed the tribulation, truly achieved one's own Dao Fruit, and gained the acceptance of the "will of heaven and earth."

If Lin Zhaozai retreated outright, then as the tribulation of "human misfortune," he would undoubtedly be derelict in his duty, naturally violating the Dao oath
