Their quarry, whom Ling Tian and the others had deliberately waited for, charged without hesitation straight into the grand formation they had set up in advance. Seeing this, Ling Tian and the others showed no mercy, unleashing their full power and launching their strongest attacks. Naturally, the mightiest attack came from Ling Tian, who controlled the formation to gather lightning. What made it especially deadly was that he had fused the secret art of Phantom Combo into the lightning strikes, sending thousands upon thousands crashing down. Even a Twenty-ninth Heaven of Near-Saint cultivator could not possibly dodge them all, and quite a few bolts struck him.
The powerful lightning made the cultivator's protective astral energy show signs of shattering. Of course, a cultivator at the Twenty-ninth Heaven of Near-Saint was not so easily stripped of his defenses. At a thought, surging Divine Yuan Power coursed through him, and his protective astral energy swiftly condensed anew. This newly formed defense was clearly tougher than before, making it even harder to break.
Still, Ling Tian's first round of lightning was not so easily shrugged off. The lightning itself was blocked and vanished into nothing, but the strange powers it contained—such as the power of the World-Ending Lightning Tribulation and Ice Sha Power—continued to ravage the man's protective astral energy. The amount was far greater than the mere trace that clung to their arrow attacks. To dispel it, the cultivator had no choice but to summon more Divine Yuan Power and focus more of his attention, which gave Ling Tian and the others an even greater opening.
Indeed, when Ling Tian saw that the first attack had not seriously threatened the man, he showed no disappointment. Without hesitation, he controlled the formation once more and gathered thousands of lightning bolts to attack him.
