That was right. Although their earlier attacks hadn't weakened the energy barrier—in other words, their attacks hadn't exceeded the speed at which the Lord of the Universe could mobilize energy—they hadn't been using their strongest attacks. At the very least, many cultivators hadn't used their Natal Dan Artifacts to attack with arrows.

That would undoubtedly boost their attacks considerably, giving them a chance to exceed the speed at which the Lord of the Universe could mobilize energy. Then Ling Tian would have an even better chance if he unleashed his strongest attack.
"Mm, that's another possibility," Ling Tian said. Sensing Po Qiong and the others' confusion, he continued, "It's not that I want the cultivators to do this. It's just that if I can't pierce the firmament, then most of them will die. Before that happens, some cultivators will inevitably choose to burn their Origin Bloodline Power to attack.

But after hearing his explanation, they finally understood: Ling Tian hadn't changed his nature. They simply had no other choice.
"So what do we do now? Are we supposed to
