Ambush?

To a True Divinity, all those beneath were rendered to insignificance more absolute than even the most infinitesimal dust mote in the infinite cosmos Mere ants to be obliterated with unconscious, instinctive force!

This revelation shattered the cultivators' arrogance and sense of self-importance into shards of conceptual delusion. 

Kali's aura radiated with but the faintest hints of Late Stage Primal Sovereign power according to their senses. Yet her Dao Laws were clearly of a realm that precluded the need to ever undergo the trials of the Venerate Dao Tribulation!

To contemplate that a being who had transcended into True Divinity may regard a mere Dao Tribulation, the trial that elevated Heavenly Venerates into the ranks of Living Daos, as far beneath acknowledgment was a humbling beyond humiliation. 

An insult to their sense of pride and cultivation journey more grievous than any mortal injury!
