After learning that the Thunder Strike Sect was the Sacred Heart Sect's old nemesis, Ling Tian had become extremely wary of it. He had asked Shen Wei and the Creation Divine Tree to tell him everything they could about the Thunder Strike Sect's cultivators. It was no exaggeration to say that he now understood them quite well. That was precisely why he was so confident he could evade their pursuit.
Seeing how confident Ling Tian was, Chi Xue and the others, along with the World-Ending Thunder Dragon, breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, they were still prepared to retreat into Ling Tian's Small World at a moment's notice.
Before long, the Thunder Strike Sect cultivators finally appeared in Ling Tian's sight. As soon as they confirmed his group's trail, they transformed into streaks of purple light and shot after them with the speed of lightning. Their violent auras surged as they swept past many powerful formations and restrictions without a care. At the very least, the formations and restrictions capable of threatening cultivators at the Twenty-seventh Heaven of Near-Saint posed almost no obstacle to them. In terms of speed alone, those cultivators in the middle and late stages of the Twenty-eighth Heaven of Near-Saint were even faster than Ling Tian at full speed—even when he used Time Acceleration on himself.
Sacred Heart Sect cultivators could largely ignore the formations and restrictions in the Sacred Ruins Abyss because they could release extremely pure Space Law Power across the surface of their bodies, forming a protective aura. That aura could easily shred powerful attacks. Thunder Strike Sect cultivators, meanwhile, released their violent Lightning Power to form a protective aura. The terrifying destructive force of their lightning-attribute Divine Yuan Power could also easily annihilate attacks from all kinds of formations and restrictions.
