"Is this a lightning tribulation?"
The many experts of Celestial Academy looked stunned, and at the same time, their eyes were filled with fear. What kind of lightning tribulation was this? These were chains of law and order, locking down the primordial spirit and the physical body. This was meant to sever his path of cultivation.
"The Heavenly Dao Law Chain. He has violated a Heavenly Dao Taboo."
The old dean of Celestial Academy said in a low voice. He had thought it was a lightning tribulation, never imagining it was a taboo punishment. This kind of punishment was the Heavenly Dao's judgment, used to punish those who defied heaven.
This defiance of heaven did not refer to ordinary defiance. Cultivation itself was a theft of the Creation of Heaven and Earth, and was already heaven-defying by nature, but that kind of defiance was within a forgivable range.
But some heaven-defying acts were not tolerated by Heaven and Earth, such as seizing the Authority of Heaven and Earth. Because living beings were originally part of Heaven and Earth, even if they seized the Creation of Heaven and Earth, that Creation still belonged to Heaven and Earth. Authority, however, was different. Authority represented the will of Heaven and Earth. It was a supreme existence that could not be defied.
Of course, if one's strength was great enough, the Heavenly Dao would still compromise. Just as in the past, when many great figures entered the lower realm, under the deterrence of supreme treasures and those great figures, the Heavenly Dao of the Eight Lower Realms ultimately compromised.
Seizing the Authority of Heaven and Earth existed within Limit Breaking. Those who broke their limits could use special methods to break free from the restraints of the laws and order of Heaven and Earth,
