Chapter 1626: Chapter 1574–1575 Battle Strength Limit, Kill by Borrowing a Knife

“Taoist Friend Zhao’s wisdom is exceptional; a seat amongst the strongest at the pinnacle of this world is undoubtedly reserved for you.”

This was personally spoken by the Taoist Monarch Ancestor. Perhaps there was a degree of flattery between friends, but given the Ancestor’s style, even flattery would not be groundless; at the very least, the other party possesses certain merits.

Furthermore, that Alliance Leader Zhao is no ordinary individual; how could he be unaware of the sincerity behind the praise he receives?

Moreover, if mere praise is one aspect, the subsequent achievements of Alliance Leader Zhao, rampaging through All Heavens with the Method of Incarnation and defeating countless foes, even slaying True Immortal Strong, serve as proof that the Ancestral Master’s commendation has no flaws.

Hence, in this trial, for Wan Fayi, the existence of some powerful beings may seem only at the four-star Supreme Strong level on the surface, yet if they were to truly employ their trump cards, they would undoubtedly exceed this level, possessing the strength comparable to that of True Immortals.

“Perhaps I truly misunderstood the Ancestral Master’s intention; forbidding True Immortal-level powerhouses from participating is to provide more people with opportunities, not an absolute prohibition against True Immortal strength appearing. Since so many Fortuitous Opportunities are left in this trial, it actually implies we should enhance our strength to our heart’s content. If someone can indeed ascend further through these opportunities, it is unquestionably permitted.” After Yu Yiyao’s intervention, Wan Fayi gained a deeper understanding of the trial in the Myriad Laws Realm.

Since it allows people to seize Fortuitous Opportunities and advance, it means that higher levels of combat power are permissible. Yu Yiyao’s intervention told these strong individuals that they will not be harshly criticized for using their hidden cards.

With this in mind, the pattern within the trial field has undergone a tremendous change. The initial pinnacle battle among the foremost strong individuals has transformed.

If previously, these individuals’ combat power all resided at the peak of the four-star Supreme Strong, even if there were differences, they were minuscule; after all, the upper limit of a four-star combat power is set, the differences, if any, are minute.

But now, it’s different. On the surface, it may seem that there’s little difference, but under different circumstances, the trump cards they possess are not the same. This is the difference in their foundation.

Strong individuals originating from a Top Immortal Sect can practice divine powers and wield Divine Weapon Treasures that ordinary sect powerhouses cannot compare with.

To be honest, in this trial, Wan Fayi does not believe that those powerhouses from Top Immortal Sects do not possess trump cards or have not secretly brought powerful Divine Weapon Treasures. That would be strange.

So, taking these factors into account means that the situation is actually far more terrifying than imagined; some so-called four-star Supreme Strong individuals can unleash strength far more fearsome than what they currently display.

While those who originally seemed to stand at the pinnacle, if they have not found suitable Fortuitous Opportunities in the Myriad Laws Realm and undergone a transformation like Cangyang of the Heterodox Alliance, it likely means they will not be the match of strong individuals from a Top Immortal Sect.

When the combat power of both parties is similar, a Divine Weapon Treasure or a strong divine power serving as a trump card can be the key to victory or defeat.

“It seems that enhancing one’s strength is necessary. Four-star Supreme Strong individuals may not dictate the outcome of a melee, but what if it’s a four-and-a-half-star or even a five-star existence with True Immortal combat power? Their presence alone is enough to suppress everyone.” Wan Fayi thought to himself.

The difference in combat power among Supreme Strong individuals, where one could easily overwhelm another, does not mean they are utterly invincible; at least those rated below four stars face inadequacies when besieged.

However, for those with four-and-a-half or five-star combat power, it’s entirely different. They are referred to as beings comparable to True Immortals. Besides not undergoing the essential transformation of Immortal Path life, the power and Divine Abilities they wield are not much different.

Such beings, although still called Supreme Strong, are already invincible among their peers, sweeping all directions. Unless faced by another four-and-a-half or five-star Supreme Strong, the rest are not their match and cannot pose the slightest threat, even with countless opponents.

Such beings are almost indistinguishable from True Immortals; they can easily suppress Supreme Strong individuals and are nearly invincible.

Once such an existence emerges in the Myriad Laws Realm, it means they are unstoppable. Even if these individuals band together, they cannot threaten the adversary and all will become mere spirits under the adversary’s sword.

This is a terrifying prospect. If that time comes, even with some trump cards as my reserve, I can’t assure victory over them.

After all, if a regular Independent Practitioner or a Supreme Strong from an ordinary sect steps into the four-and-a-half or five-star combat power, they could have a fighting chance with their trump cards.

But if it’s a powerhouse from a Top Immortal Sect entering this Realm, coupled with divine powers and the enhancement of Divine Weapon Treasures, they would truly become invincible. At that time, it would be akin to a tiger entering among wolves, unstoppable.
