That was right. Ling Tian could always turn rotten wood into something magical, making the impossible possible. Maybe he really could gather some of the lightning power left behind by the final tribulation before Venerable Sword Saint arrived. And Chi Xue and the others knew that, given enough time, Ling Tian would certainly be able to refine it and make it his own. That meant his attacks would contain the formidable aura of the final tribulation from then on, which would cause Chi Xue and the others no end of trouble. At the thought, their expressions turned grave and troubled.
"Even if Ling Tian can gather some of the lightning power left by the final tribulation, it won't be a major problem," Chi Xue suddenly said. Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, he chuckled. "What he gathers will only be residual lightning power from the final tribulation, and there shouldn't be much of it. The final tribulation may be tremendously powerful, but this is only leftover lightning power. Since Ling Tian won't gather much, even if he manages to refine it, it won't improve the lightning power within him by much. His power might carry a trace of the final tribulation's aura, which could still make us feel a little afraid, but its effect won't be very noticeable. So what do we have to worry about?"
That made sense. The reason everyone felt an instinctive fear of the final tribulation was that they were facing the complete tribulation. Even if Ling Tian managed to gather some of its lightning power, it would only be residual energy. And before Venerable Sword Saint arrived, the amount he could collect would be quite limited, so it wouldn't do much to improve the lightning power he controlled. Its effects wouldn't be all that impressive
