When those two cultivators tried to break free of the Ultimate Lightning Tribulation, three cultivators in the God Realm, each comparable to Venerable Sword Saint, suddenly emerged from seclusion and rushed toward the northern region. It was clear they intended to compete for the Ultimate Lightning Tribulation Power. Ling Tian and the others grew grave at the thought, despite being confident they could collect all the Ultimate Lightning Tribulation Power before the three arrived. They had realized what might happen if they left nothing for those powerful cultivators: the three might storm Fengyun Realm and attack them directly.
Venerable Sword Saint might still have some reservations about the Lord of the Universe's restrictions and hesitate to fuse with too many golden cores and go all out against them. The other three cultivators, however, might not share those reservations. Even if the Lord of the Universe imposed the same restrictions on them, they might not care much. Their Bloodline Power was already beginning to decline, which meant they would soon try to break free of the Lord of the Universe's restraints. Since they had little chance of obtaining the Ultimate Lightning Tribulation Power otherwise, they would have no qualms about attacking Ling Tian and the others with everything they had.
Ling Tian and the others were confident they could withstand Venerable Sword Saint after he fused with six or seven golden cores. But if he fused with eight or even nine, they wouldn't have the slightest confidence. The three newcomers were somewhat weaker than Venerable Sword Saint, but not by much. Any one of them could easily destroy the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation if he went all out, let alone the three of them joining forces against Ling Tian and the others. They would surely destroy the formation.
