In the sky, Sukuna's figure plummeted rapidly.
A moment later, a thunderous boom rang out as Sukuna slammed into the ground.
"Well, kid?" Sukuna raised his head and looked at Jie Jian, who was still maintaining Lightning Form, with great interest. "Without the thunderstorm clouds replenishing you, how much longer can you last?"
Cursed techniques followed the laws of physics too. Everything here required an equivalent exchange.
A powerful cursed technique was often accompanied by certain risks.
