It made sense. For cultivators to break free of the Lord of the Universe's restraints, they naturally had to break through the firmament. But to do that, they would have to face the final tribulation. Their only option was to disperse the Tribulation Cloud, then unleash a powerful attack to break through the firmament before it re-formed.
