The God Devourer's fall filled Ling Tian and the others with grief. What concerned them even more, though, was that despite his tremendous strength, the God Devourer had shown no sign of breaking free from the Lord of the Universe's restraints. This made them even more certain that the God Devourer's earlier analysis was correct: only by mastering an energy the Lord of the Universe had never mastered would they have a chance to escape his control.
However, after realizing this, Ling Tian and the others didn't immediately act on it. With the God Devourer no longer holding down the fort in the Fengyun Realm, Venerable Sword Saint could attack them at any moment. Ling Tian could still evade his pursuit with the help of those secret Teleportation Formations in the northern region of the God Realm, but once they left that region, escaping him would likely prove difficult. Thus, they couldn't go out and hunt Outer Realm Cultivators right now. After all, most Outer Realm Cultivators were hostile to them, and they certainly wouldn't be staying in the northern region of the God Realm. That meant Ling Tian and the others couldn't capture them and seize their energy.
Still, Ling Tian and the others didn't dwell on the problem. They knew it would take careful planning, and besides, they still had plenty of Ultimate Lightning Tribulation Power to refine. That would allow them to keep growing stronger. More importantly, overcoming their instinctive fear of the Ultimate Lightning Tribulation Power was crucial, and they had already established that. So their next task was to refine as much of it as possible.
In Ling Tian and the others' eyes, the God Devourer had fallen, and without him holding down the fort, Venerable Sword Saint no longer had to worry about so
