Although the Buddha Kingdom World had blocked the first bolt of lightning and completely dissolved it, the second bolt had pierced through the Buddha Kingdom World. And with the power of the coming tribulation lightning only growing stronger, everyone thought that Monk Wude and the others had almost no chance of withstanding the final tribulation. Naturally, they would have no chance to break free of the Lord of the Universe's restraints either. This left many cultivators who had been preparing to "escape" the universe feeling deeply regretful.
But they soon noticed that although the second bolt had pierced the Buddha Kingdom World, the spot it had passed through quickly healed. Clever cultivators immediately understood how miraculous the Buddha Kingdom World was: it could let attacks beyond its limits pass through, and it also possessed an exceptionally powerful ability to recover. In other words, it could continue to block and weaken the other bolts of lightning.
Most importantly, although the second bolt had pierced the Buddha Kingdom World, it had grown much dimmer after being weakened by it, and it was also much thinner than before. Its power had been reduced by at least eighty percent—indeed, by more than that compared with when it had first emerged from the Tribulation Cloud. It was no longer enough to pose any threat to Monk Wude.
And that was exactly what happened. Facing the bolt, Monk Wude did not use any particularly powerful move. He simply pointed a finger at it: the Swastika Tribulation Finger. It was a relatively ordinary secret technique of the Buddhist school, but in Monk Wude's hands, its power was anything but ordinary. That single finger easily shattered the second bolt, reducing it to nothing. Afterward, Monk Wude remained as composed as ever, clearly without suffering even the slightest injury.
