That was right. It was not just Ling Tian who would oppose the Lord of the Universe. In the future, Chi Xue and the others would also fight him. That meant they all needed to improve their strength, especially the scale of their Small Worlds—not just Ling Tian, but Chi Xue and the others as well. And by enduring as many of Ling Tian's attacks as possible in battle, they could maintain the pressure and temper themselves, which would greatly benefit their growth.
Ling Tian had thought of this too. He said no more and simply controlled the Tribulation Cloud overhead, bringing it down to cover nearly everyone present. Of course, he focused on Lei Ba. Even in a one-on-one fight, Ling Tian had no chance of winning against him, let alone while facing the combined suppression of so many people like Chi Xue.
Of course, as Po Tian had suggested, Ling Tian did not use the Creation Divine Tree or the other Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures. After all, fighting Chi Xue and the others, as well as Lei Ba, without relying on "external forces" would put him under the greatest pressure and allow him to improve as much as possible.
Seeing that Ling Tian was ready, Lei Ba said nothing. He had none of the "reserve" expected of an elder, waiting for Ling Tian to attack first. Instead, he struck first. Lightning coursed over his entire body, and waves of incredibly violent energy surged around him. Then he transformed into a streak of purple light and charged at Ling Tian. His speed was unparalleled throughout history—and that was without transforming into lightning. If he did, he would likely reach Ling Tian in an instant, perhaps not even giving him time to react.
This alone showed how much stronger Lei Ba
