Chapter 320: The Might of an Immortal Celestial Supreme
In the sky, purple qi billowed, and strange fire blazed fiercely. Two dazzling streams of light, like twin suns, displayed the power of Celestial Supremes in the void. Wherever they went, the space continually collapsed, and waves of destructive power spread, causing the heavens and earth to shake violently, like a curtain being vigorously shaken.
In the sky, clouds within tens of thousands of miles evaporated, leaving an empty blue sky. Although the battle raged in the heavens, the entire Tianluo Continent was impacted as if a massive earthquake had struck, causing cracks thousands of feet wide to appear on the ground. Additionally, two unimaginable pressures enveloped the world, leaving no one able to resist, forcing almost everyone to kneel.
This was the might of Celestial Supremes. Even the strongest Earthly Supremes felt like they were facing divine beings, filled with awe and reverence. The two fighters controlled the battle's residual force to prevent it from striking the ground; otherwise, the entire Tianluo Continent might have crumbled.
"So strong, Celestial Supremes are incredibly strong!"
"Since the fall of the ancient Sky Emperor, how many years has it been since such a world-shaking battle took place?"
"The saying 'all below Celestial Supremes are ants' is indeed true!"
Many Earthly Supremes looked up, their lips trembling. The power of Celestial Supremes, even just the aftermath, was beyond their ability to withstand. The supreme majesty of Celestial Supremes was something they would never forget.
"Boom!" Under countless shocked gazes, the purple light figure was sent flying back, crashing into the sky and shattering the space, revealing the void beyond.
"What? The old Celestial Supreme, Purple Qi Immortal, actually lost?"
This scene left everyone stunned, including those Celestial Supremes observing secretly.
Purple Qi Immortal was blown back tens of thousands of feet before he managed to dissipate the terrifying force by borrowing the power of the heavens and earth. Looking at his Celestial Spirit Body, not only had it dimmed, but it was also covered with cracks. Fortunately, the Celestial Spirit Body was made purely of spiritual power and quickly recovered by borrowing the power of the heavens and earth.
Purple Qi Immortal stared at Xiao Tian in shock, saying, "Your... your Celestial Spirit Body, why is it so strong?"
He couldn't understand how his Celestial Spirit Body, enhanced by a heavenly spiritual vein, could lose to someone who had just recently become a Celestial Supreme.
"Because I am not just a Spirit-grade Celestial Supreme!" Xiao Tian fully unleashed his aura, smiling as he said, "Alright, the warm-up is over. Now, you can stay here!"
"Boom!" Instantly, a force far stronger than before emanated from Xiao Tian's body. The surrounding sky trembled violently under this immense pressure, as if it were collapsing.
"What? You're actually an Immortal-grade Celestial Supreme?" Feeling Xiao Tian's aura, Purple Qi Immortal was thoroughly shocked.
The Celestial Supreme realm had different levels: Spirit, Immortal, and Saint. Among them, Saint-grade Celestial Supremes were the strongest, Spirit-grade the weakest, and Immortal-grade in the middle. Even so, Immortal-grade Celestial Supremes far exceeded Spirit-grade ones. Even within the oldest and most powerful superforces, an Immortal-grade Celestial Supreme held a very high status.
Although he was a mid-stage peak Spirit-grade Celestial Supreme and Xiao Tian's aura was only at the early-stage Immortal-grade, the gap between them was like heaven and earth, similar to the gap between Earthly Supremes and Celestial Supremes.
Purple Qi Immortal sighed and bowed, saying, "I spoke rashly earlier. Please, Lord Xiao, forgive me!"
Xiao Tian glanced at him and said, "If you want to make amends, have your Purple Qi Spirit Cave join my Xiao Alliance, and I will not hold you accountable!"
"Impossible, that's absolutely impossible!" Purple Qi Immortal's face immediately turned ugly as he refused. Even though Xiao Tian was an Immortal-grade Celestial Supreme, he was also a Celestial Supreme. As a leader of a superforce, revered as a deity, how could he lower himself to serve someone else?
Xiao Tian's face darkened, and he said coldly, "It seems you're unwilling. In that case, I will have to suppress you!"
"Xiao Tian, even though you're an Immortal-grade Celestial Supreme, you can't be so overbearing!" Purple Qi Immortal clenched his fists and shouted to those around him, "Everyone, you can see that with Xiao Tian's tyranny, he will eventually take over the entire Tianluo Continent. If we don't suppress him now, we'll all suffer later!"
However, despite Purple Qi Immortal's plea, those observing in the shadows remained unmoved. If Xiao Tian were merely a Spirit-grade Celestial Supreme, they would have intervened long ago, but he was an Immortal-grade Celestial Supreme. None of them dared to act rashly.
After all, they were all Spirit-grade Celestial Supremes. Fighting head-on would result in deaths among them. Although the Tianluo Continent had ample resources, they had to share them, making the risk not worth it.
Furthermore, the Tianluo Continent was just one of their many territories. Losing it would not be a major blow as they had other assets. Sacrificing themselves for this territory was not a wise choice. If they died, their other assets would be taken, and their families might be targeted by enemies. After all, becoming a Celestial Supreme meant treading on countless corpses. Even after achieving this level, new enemies would appear. While they lived, they commanded respect, but in death, they lost all deterrence.
For these reasons, they chose not to intervene, deeming the cost too high. They also believed that with Xiao Alliance's current foundation, Xiao Tian could not immediately control the entire Tianluo Continent. If he tried, other forces would eye the territory, and an early-stage Immortal-grade Celestial Supreme could not defend such a vast land.
"Damn it!" Purple Qi Immortal cursed inwardly, "A bunch of cowards!"
Xiao Tian asked, "Have you decided?"
Purple Qi Immortal, though furious, chose to remain silent. He didn't want to agree, but he also didn't want to provoke Xiao Tian further.
"Rise!" Xiao Tian extended his hand and pointed at Purple Qi Immortal from a distance.
"Whoosh!" Instantly, Purple Qi Immortal's body erupted in brilliant flames composed of twenty-seven different types of fire. Despite his Celestial Spirit Body, he was in excruciating pain because these flames were incredibly powerful, burning not only his body but also his spiritual power and soul.
Xiao Tian's flames, infused with the black fire from the Celestial Supreme Tribulation, could corrode even the Immortal Golden Body's immortal runes, let alone a mere Celestial Spirit Body.
