It was because this was a peerless Divine Ability.
Xiao Qing raised his right hand.
A fist imprint condensed once more.
But this time, the power contained within that fist imprint was completely different from before.
The Chaos light shone brilliantly, and one could vaguely see the phantom of a Small World emerging within the fist imprint.
In that world, there were mountains and rivers, sun, moon, and stars, and all living things growing.
That was the Small Thousand World within his body.
Xiao Qing punched out.
This would be the strongest strike under the Law True Body state!
Chaos Opens the Heavens!
The fist imprint and the ancient cauldron collided with a boom.
There was no earth-shattering roar.
There was only an eerie silence.
At the moment the ancient cauldron made contact with the fist imprint, it seemed to freeze.
Boom—
Heaven and earth lost their voice at this moment.
The power of that collision was too terrifying, directly tearing the surrounding the void apart completely.
Countless spatial fragments splattered, each one capable of killing any Earth Sovereign.
The giant cauldron trembled violently.
Those ancient battle patterns began to shatter the moment they collided with the Chaos fist imprint.
A crack appeared on the surface of the giant cauldron.
Then a second, a third, a fourth...
Countless cracks spread like a spiderweb, instantly covering the entire giant cauldron.
The Indomitable Battle Intent lingering at the mouth of the cauldron began to dissipate crazily.
Those Battle Intents turned into countless points of light, dissipating into the the void.
"Bang—"
The giant cauldron exploded.
It turned into points of golden light filling the sky, dissipating between heaven and earth.
Peerless Divine Ability, Indomitable Battle Spirit Cauldron, broken!
That peerless Divine Ability, capable of suppressing and killing an Early Stage Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign, was cracked by Xiao Qing with a single punch.
The fragments scattered, turning into points of golden light filling the sky, disappearing into the the void.
The Western Heaven Battle Emperor's pupils shrank to the extreme.
An indescribable pain rose instantly.
He opened his mouth to say something, but only spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blood spilled, staining the the void red, and his entire aura plummeted instantly.
The backlash force surged like a tide, crazily impacting his entire body.
Cracks appeared on the surface of the Ancient War Emperor Dharma Body.
The originally brilliant golden light was now dull and lifeless.
"No—"
The Western Heaven Battle Emperor screamed miserably.
He desperately urged his spiritual energy, wanting to stabilize his Dharma Body.
But it was useless.
The cracks became more and more numerous, denser and denser, until finally—
Boom!
The ten-thousand-foot Dharma Body collapsed with a boom, turning into points of golden light filling the sky.
The Western Heaven Battle Emperor's figure fell from the light points, blood spraying wildly from his mouth, and his aura plummeted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign Early Stage...
Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign Peak...
Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign Late Stage...
Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign Middle Stage...
It plummeted all the way, finally stopping at the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign Early Stage, barely maintaining the level of a Heavenly Sovereign.
He collapsed in the the void, his spiritual energy dissipated, his Battle Intent gone, completely losing the power to resist.
Above the Nine Heavens, there was absolute silence.
The entire heaven and earth seemed to have frozen at this moment.
In the distant the void, a Heavenly Sovereign who had come to watch the battle widened his eyes, opened his mouth, and was unable to speak for a long time.
What did he see?
A Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign shattered an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign's peerless Divine Ability with one punch?
Not only shattered the Divine Ability, but also shattered the opponent's Dharma Body?
And even beat the opponent's cultivation level down?
This...
How is this possible?!
"Fellow Daoist Li, this..." The Heavenly Sovereign who had arrived said with a trembling voice.
"Is this real?"
He had lived for thousands of years and had never seen such a terrifying scene.
A Spiritual Grade defeating an Immortal Grade, shattering a Divine Ability with one punch.
Is such an existence really just a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign?
The scholar-like Heavenly Sovereign took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
"Just as you see..."
"Outrageously strong..."
He said these four words, but found that these four words were simply not enough to describe the scene before him.
The middle-aged Heavenly Sovereign said in shock: "To be able to go head-to-head against an Immortal Grade peerless Divine Ability with a Spiritual Grade body, and even heavily injure the opponent..."
"This kind of strength, even in the Great Thousand Worlds, is enough to rank among the top ranks."
"More than just top ranks..." the last person said with difficulty.
"If he breaks through to the Immortal Grade, or even the Saint-Grade..."
He did not finish.
But everyone understood.
If Xiao Qing breaks through to the Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign, he will be the most top-tier existence in the entire Great Thousand Worlds.
Perhaps, invincible!
They hovered in the distant the void, watching the green-robed figure in the field in shock.
"Is that the Heavenly Emperor from the Lower Plane?"
"He was actually able to defeat the Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign, the Western Heaven Battle Emperor?"
"That punch just now... did you see it?"
"Saw it... terrifyingly strong!"
Discussions rose and fell.
The name "Heavenly Emperor" will, from this moment on, spread throughout all the top forces of the Great Thousand Worlds.
On the walls of Luo Shen City, Luo Tianshen had lived for thousands of years and had never seen such a terrifying scene.
A Spiritual Grade defeating an Immortal Grade, shattering a Divine Ability with one punch.
Does such an existence really exist?
Above the Nine Heavens, Xiao Qing withdrew his fist.
He looked into the the void at the Western Heaven Battle Emperor, who had already lost his combat ability, his expression remaining calm.
Afterwards, Xiao Qing raised his hand and waved it gently.
A Chaos Restriction fell, completely imprisoning the Western Heaven Battle Emperor.
The Western Heaven Battle Emperor struggled for a moment, but found that the spiritual energy in his body was completely frozen, unable to be urged even a little bit.
He raised his head and looked at Xiao Qing, his eyes full of fear and unwillingness.
Xiao Qing looked at him and said calmly: "Your Dharma Body is indeed not bad."
His voice was very light, but it made the Western Heaven Battle Emperor feel icy cold all over.
"Unfortunately, what you encountered is this Emperor."
Xiao Qing waved his hand and took him into a Small World he had temporarily created.
In the distance, a middle-aged man in black took a deep breath and slowly spat out two words: "Invincible..."
Another Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign arrived from another continent and hovered in the distant the void.
He looked at that chaotic figure, his eyes filled with shock and awe.
"Brother Tian Ming, did that person... really use a Spiritual Grade body to defeat the Immortal Grade Western Heaven Battle Emperor?"
"The War Emperor Dharma Body shattered, the peerless Divine Ability broken..."
"This, how is this possible?"
"How could the Lower Plane give birth to such a powerhouse?"
Discussions rose and fell, and they were all shocked beyond measure by this scene.
They knew that from today on, there would be one more name on the list of powerhouses in the Great Thousand Worlds.
Heavenly Emperor.
That existence who came from the Lower Plane but defeated an Immortal Grade with a Spiritual Grade body.
Xiao Qing ignored those discussions.
Afterwards, he took a step out and had already disappeared above the Nine Heavens.
Leaving only spatial fragments all over the ground and those many shocked gazes.
In the distant the void, a Heavenly Sovereign finally came back to his senses and said:
"Today's battle will spread throughout the entire Great Thousand Worlds."
"The name of the Heavenly Emperor, from now on, will be known by everyone."
The middle-aged man in black was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Let's go, let's go pay a visit to this Heavenly Emperor."
The six Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereigns looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
They knew that from today on, the landscape of the Western Heaven Continent would change completely.
On the city wall, Luo Tianshen stared blankly at the returning Xiao Qing, unable to speak for a long time.
He saw with his own eyes that this Heavenly Emperor, with Spiritual Grade cultivation, went head-to-head against the Immortal Grade Western Heaven Battle Emperor and defeated him alive.
