Lightning's paralyzing effect... how should it be put? It did exist, but it was not very useful in a situation like this.
For minor cultivators below the Golden Core realm, lightning-resistant artifacts were relatively rare and difficult to obtain.
But for cultivators above the Golden Core realm, lightning-resistant artifacts were not hard to acquire. Rare resources always flowed toward the upper ranks.
Besides, speaking fairly, lightning cultivators were fairly rare throughout the Sky-Qin Plane.
Take Kun Hao, for example. Even Golden Core lightning cultivators were rarely seen there. The many lightning cultivators had only one holy land for cultivation: Thunder Plains.
Among the great powers of the Sky-Qin Plane, lightning cultivators were pitifully scarce, though there were great powers who had cultivated portions of lightning arts.
As for True Venerables using lightning arts in battle, they did exist, but their lightning arts generally were not of a particularly high grade.
Artifacts capable of resisting lightning cultivators' divine abilities were even rarer—there simply were not that many rare materials.
One had to know that true lightning cultivator divine abilities could shake heaven and earth and destroy everything.
Even Binding Qi into Force, which Yi Jue used, merely carried a trace of lightning arts and did not count as pure lightning arts.
But the more infuriating part was this: Yuan Zhe had never expected Yi Jue to actually produce a lightning-art talisman artifact.
He had investigated Yi Jue thoroughly, yet he had never heard that she could use... no, that she had ever come into contact with lightning arts.
Cultivators of the Spirit Plant Path were naturally rather resistant to lightning arts. Wood arts feared lightning; that was common knowledge. It was perfectly normal for her not to know lightning arts.
And Yi Jue borrowing a lightning-art talisman artifact to deal with
