The 10th strike of the lightning tribulation was not meant to be cleared by anyone.
The 9th strike was already the pinnacle of what anyone at tier 3 could hope to achieve , as the 9th strike was the absolute peak of a tier 4 spell 's attack potential. It was the threshold of what a tier 3 body could take without crippling itself , and only the topmost talents who had undergone immense challenges could ever hope to reach that threshold .
The quests to get artifacts or skills that provided one with the power to perform a peak tier 4 spell at this stage of the game were all of astronomical difficulty and extremely rare.
Only a handful of players could boast to possess this kind of power and even then not 5% of them can make it to lightning strike number 7 without being forced to use their Trump card beforehand , which only left people who could be counted on one finger amongst billions of players who could ever achieve what Rudra did .
