The world-shattering lightning tribulation hurtled downward like a pillar of world-destroying light, plunging toward the ape on Azure Cloud Peak that was about to reconstruct its true form.
As though it meant to annihilate the ape down to its very molecules, its sheer might left even Ouyang, who had witnessed heavenly tribulation several times, somewhat stunned.

An ordinary heavenly lightning tribulation would, at most, blast a person's soul into oblivion. Once that person died, it would end.

He knew very well
