As strong as the Fire Tribulation might have been, it was still not at a level where it could threaten Krune. Since the Tribulation Lightning Domain was being used alone, Krune also didn't need to care about it affecting the other ones, so it wasn't an issue to sustain it. In fact, even if he had run out of Tribulation Lightning power, he is more than capable of resisting the Tribulation Fire without it as well.
This time, everything went according to the plans, Krune finished his Tribulation and officially entered the Soul Forging Realm. But things didn't stop there. Krune took in Hobbek's Yang Heavenly Fragment, who had a higher cultivation than Uer in the past. So now that he finished his breakthrough, his cultivation started to increase once more. However, there was only enough strength for him to reach the 2nd Stage of the Soul Forging Realm before it settled down.
