Ling Tian had been able to suppress so many Outer Realm Cultivators with such ease because of his mastery over various energies. He used powers like the Ultimate Lightning Tribulation Power to break through their protective barriers, then unleashed the Ice Sha Power and other strange energies to invade their bodies. Anyone unable to resist and dispel all those energies would naturally suffer their effects and be severely weakened. Few cultivators across the entire Outer Realm star region could have refined as many strange energies as Ling Tian had, so the result was hardly surprising.
Of course, Chi Xue and the others knew that attacks of this caliber would consume a great deal of Ling Tian's energy. He probably couldn't keep it up for long.
It made sense. Since Ling Tian could unleash attacks that rivaled those of cultivators at the Twenty-third Heaven of Near-Saint, the expenditure was bound to be enormous. Even with a Nascent Soul and Small World far beyond those of cultivators at the same level, he was struggling to bear the strain. After all, he hadn't even broken through to the Twenty-second Heaven of Near-Saint.
Still, in Chi Xue and the others' eyes, if Ling Tian could launch one or two more rounds of attacks, he could deal with most of the Outer Realm Cultivators trapped inside the formation—and perhaps even all of them. Some more Outer Realm Cultivators had arrived from afar while Ling Tian and the others fought, but after witnessing their terrifying strength, few would dare enter the formation. In other words, Chi Xue and the others only needed to deal with those already trapped inside.
Even if Ling Tian's attacks couldn't suppress every Outer Realm Cultivator, they would surely weaken them substantially. With the formation and the support of so many Saint-grade
