Ling Tian unleashed one attack after another, and Wu De did the same. Together, they managed to intercept this wave of lightning with ease. They even had strength to spare, which made the countless cultivators watching breathe a long sigh of relief. Hua Min'er and the others, in particular, felt that at least Ling Tian and Wu De had withstood this wave of lightning.
However, unleashing those attacks in succession had left Ling Tian a little strained. He could still use Phantom Combo, and even launch another great-arrow attack, but neither would be stronger than his previous attacks. Since those earlier attacks hadn't dispersed the Tribulation Cloud, the next ones stood even less chance. After all, once it gathered again, the Tribulation Cloud would be even more powerful. Stronger lightning also meant that Ling Tian's great-arrow attacks would be weakened even more, so they naturally wouldn't have any notable effect on the Tribulation Cloud.
If he couldn't even disperse the Tribulation Cloud, he obviously couldn't break through the firmament and escape the Lord of the Universe's restraint. In other words, any further attempts by Ling Tian would be futile, so he naturally wouldn't waste his energy.
