Although the threat posed by the Thunder Strike Divine Silkworms had been dealt with, they still lurked nearby. As long as they remained there, they would continue to threaten Ling Tian and the others. At the very least, their presence kept Ling Tian and his companions from launching surprise attacks on the cultivators surrounding the Sacred Ruins Abyss in peace. So all along, Ling Tian had been keeping an eye on the Thunder Strike Divine Silkworms and thinking of a way to deal with them once and for all.
After observing them, Ling Tian discovered that the power of the World-Ending Lightning Tribulation held an immense allure for the Thunder Strike Divine Silkworms. He could see as much from how they grew eager to act whenever he and the others used the power of the World-Ending Lightning Tribulation to attack the cultivators surrounding the Sacred Ruins Abyss, and how they occasionally edged closer to the formation. If the Thunder Strike Divine Silkworms weren't so keenly attuned to danger, they might already have charged into the formation and been captured by Ling Tian and the others.
Although the Thunder Strike Divine Silkworms could still resist the temptation of the World-Ending Lightning Tribulation, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand the lure of the World-Ending Thunder Dragon's Origin Power. That was especially true since Ling Tian and the others didn't intend to kill the Thunder Strike Divine Silkworms—they only wanted to recruit them. In other words, they had no Killing Intent toward the silkworms. Once the Thunder Strike Divine Silkworms sensed that Ling Tian and the others meant them no harm, they might well relent, and some—or even all—of them might choose to follow Ling Tian and his companions.
If any of the Thunder Strike Divine Silkworms agreed to follow them, even
