”Boom doom!”
The skies above the altar were lined with dark and heavy clouds, all compact together. The burst of lightning resembled large dragons as it slithered through the clouds.
At this second, the audience were stumped by whatever they saw as their faces revealed looks of dread.
Some of them even jumped up in fear at the crashing sounds of thunder, causing their faces to turn pale with fright. Their legs even began to tremble, oblivious to whatever was happening.
”What was happening? Was… Was this a Tribulation?”
”Or could it be that the heavens wished to strike us dead? The sounds are so violent and powerful. How could a cultivator in our midst survive a Tribulation as powerful as that?”
”That’s way too scary. Could it be that the darned monkey committed treasonous acts to offend the heavens or an unpardonable sin that caused the heavens to be angry? If not, why would the heavens be so upset?”
”My god! The Tribulation isn’t even here and I can’t bear it. I almost feel like falling to my knees!”
”That monkey is doomed. With such a tremendous Tribulation ahead of him, even Infant Transformation Staged cultivators won’t be able to survive it.”
”Besides, this is only the first wave. It’s so hard to imagine. If the monkey somehow manages to survive this, how is he going to survive the rest of the waves, which would become increasingly difficult?”
”He won’t be able to endure even the first wave. It seems like the heavens won’t even grant him a chance and claim his life right on the very first wave.”
”This is a Tribulations that would definitely kill him!”
The audience were appalled as they broke out in animated discussion.
Eyes were all turned towards Xu Que and their expressions turned from mockery to pity.
The Thousand Demons Tribe however finally reacted to this change. They were all elated as their cheers of jubilations soared towards the heavens!
”Hahahaha! Quickly look! Even the heavens wished to do him in.”
”This proves that the monkey deserves to die!”
”That’s right. Looks like we won’t have to interrupt and distract him as well. He shall be claimed by the heavens!”
”It would be best if he was smashed and his flesh turns to dust, while his spirit is completely crushed!”
Over at the other end where the Sky Demon Tribe was...
The elders around were stumped as well and Su Ling’er wasn’t exempted from the shock. They watched on helplessly and in disbelief as the lightnings continued to crash down around them.
Apart from being terrified, they felt that Xu Que was a lost cause and that it was hopeless for him to survive.
They didn’t wish for Xu Que to die but under such violent and terrifying Tribulations, they were made aware of how tiny and miniscule they were.
”He’s finished! Our friend Sun is done for! Everything we’ve seen points to disaster!”
”It’s not just disaster. I’m afraid it’s a gone case. He’s doomed for sure!”
”The heavens are jealous of talented individual. The heavens are indeed jealous of talent. Sigh…”
The elders had expressions of sadness and agony as they shook their heads and sighed in unison.
Su Ling’er had a hand in her hair as she bit down hard on her lips, tearing flesh. A wound formed on it as blood seeped out.
Her eyes started to well up with tears as she mumbled to herself, ”I… I caused this. I shouldn’t have brought him here to the Thunder Tribulations Worship…”
Up on the altar, Xu Que wore a look of helplessness as well, clearly not knowing what to do.
He then started to hear the system go off in his head.
”Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 40 act tough points!”
”Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 60 act tough points!”
”Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 70 act tough points!”
”Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough while in the face of Tribulations. The reward is 200 act tough points!”
”Ding! Since the host even had time to act tough before the Tribulations, the difficulty level has increased another notch. Current difficult is Hell Mode. Please survive the upcoming Tribulations!”
A series of beeps rang out in his head which coupled along with the ferocious roars of thunder and flashes of lightning. His mind was buzzing with activity and thoughts.
Fuck me!
Acting tough while in the face of Tribulations?
Hell Mode?
Damn it! This is going to be huge! System, you darned unscrupulous cheater! You actually deceived me into acting tough?
Xu Que lashed out in rage.
However at this point, he no longer had any time to hold conversations with the system. He hurriedly whipped out the Spirit Visage from his system inventory. Right in the face of danger, he decided to purchase an additional item as a precaution and increase his chances of survival.
