After a fierce battle with the Kui Beast, where his injuries had not yet healed, it seems that the probability of Chen Mobai ascending through the Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation is less than ten percent.
However, even a ten percent chance is still a chance, so Chen Mobai plans to cut off all its hopes, preferably seeing it die before his eyes to set his mind at ease.
Even if the Kui Beast were to ascend, it would seek out the Yi Yuan True Monarch, but if Chen Mobai could handle it himself, he certainly wouldn't want to burden him.
Thus, seeing the Kui Beast being forced into the Second Level Fire Tribulation, Chen Mobai immediately hoisted the Primordial Clock, steering the Thousand Swords Dharma Body towards the Nine Heavens, determined to pursue it to the end.
The reason for ascending now is that the Kui Beast is enveloped by the Ascension Radiance, allowing it only to ascend, not descend.
