"Summon your Sovereign Body! Otherwise, you won't even get the chance to use it!" With the emergence of the Maha Limitless Body, Maha Tian stood with his hands behind his back, his voice cold. This battle wasn't just to defeat Xiao Yan—it was meant to serve as a demonstration of power on behalf of the Maha Ancient Clan. The more fiercely Xiao Yan struggled, the greater Maha Tian's fame would be upon victory. That was the only reason he so graciously granted Xiao Yan a "chance."
"To deal with the likes of you, I don't even need a Sovereign Body." Xiao Yan's expression remained calm. While he was unable to cultivate a Sovereign Body due to this world's rejection, he had never suffered a setback because of it in all his previous battles. Let alone a Sovereign Body ranked eighth—he wouldn't be fazed even if the opponent wielded one of the five original Sovereign Bodies.
"Hmph, typical of a bumpkin from a lower plane—still full of arrogance and delusions." Maha Tian snorted. Such figures weren't rare in the Great Thousand World. Most ascendants from lower planes had been peerless existences in their own realms. But once they arrived here, they quickly found that they were far from unmatched.
Many such cultivators failed to adjust their mentality and ended up embarrassing themselves. To Maha Tian, Xiao Yan was clearly that type—just lucky enough to have avoided clashing with real experts so far. But today, that luck had run dry, and it was time for him to pay for his arrogance!
"This so-called Flame Emperor is getting far too cocky..." Many among the crowd shook their heads, clearly thinking Xiao Yan was acting recklessly.
After all, Maha Tian's strength was among the best even within the Saint-grade Middle Heavenly Sovereigns. When paired with the Maha Limitless Body, one of the strongest Sovereign Bodies, even a Saint-grade Late Heavenly Sovereign without a Sovereign Body might struggle against him. For Xiao Yan to think he could win without one was, in their eyes, suicidal.
"If you're so eager to die, then let me oblige. Maha Divine Resonance!" Maha Tian formed a seal with lightning speed. Instantly, the black-and-white Maha Limitless Body opened its mouth wide and unleashed a roaring sonic attack straight at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan, who had mastered sonic-based battle techniques himself, immediately recognized it. Without hesitation, he opened his mouth as well, gathering soul power.
"ROAR!"
Two soundwaves exploded simultaneously, colliding in the air with devastating force. Maha Tian's wave was composed of spiritual energy and the destructive might of the Maha Limitless Body, while Xiao Yan's—Yellow Springs Heaven Roar—was formed from soul power.
Though their forms were different, the essence of their techniques was the same. The soundwaves clashed, corroded each other, and ultimately dissipated together.
"He actually blocked my Maha Divine Resonance?" Maha Tian's expression changed slightly. This move wasn't his trump card, but it had devastated countless opponents before. Its true terror lay not just in its frontal impact but in how it penetrated into the opponent's meridians and flesh.
Many cultivators had been reduced to bloody messes just from this technique, yet this guy—despite having weaker cultivation—managed to neutralize it with a similar method. That could only mean... if they were of equal strength, would he be the one overwhelmed?
"No wonder he's so brazen. Seems he does have some skill... But this isn't enough to be arrogant in front of me!" Maha Tian's gaze turned cold. With a motion of his palm, black-and-white light gathered into a massive spear, thousands of meters long, materializing in the hand of the Maha Limitless Body.
"Maha Divine Spear!"
With a shout, Maha Tian gripped the spear and hurled it at Xiao Yan with terrifying speed and force. This was a top-tier Sovereign Ability, one capable of injuring even Late Heavenly Sovereigns. Clearly, he intended to end the battle quickly.
"Six Harmonies Phantom Ruler." In the face of such an overwhelming strike, Xiao Yan only smiled faintly. The Heavy Xuan Ruler appeared in his hand and instantly split into countless shadows. No matter how the black-and-white divine spear lunged forward, it couldn't penetrate the dense defense of the ruler shadows. Worse still, its force seemed to be gradually dissolving under the ruler's phantoms.
Realizing this, Maha Tian's expression darkened. He shook his spear, sending out bolts of black-and-white lightning, which destroyed many ruler phantoms. Yet just as he was about to rejoice, a red glow suddenly flared up from the shattered remnants.
A massive crescent-shaped red blade swept forward with devastating force, slicing through the air and heading directly toward him.
Even with his cultivation, Maha Tian felt a cold chill crawling up his spine. He hurriedly raised the Maha Divine Spear to block it.
BOOM!
The moment the two attacks collided, the black-and-white spear shattered like glass. The red blade didn't lose momentum—it crashed squarely into the Maha Limitless Body, sending it flying tens of thousands of miles away.
Though the Sovereign Body's defense prevented it from being destroyed, the sheer destructive force behind the attack left Maha Tian lightly injured. The damage wasn't fatal, but he knew deep down—without the Sovereign Body's protection, that single blow might've seriously wounded him!
Among the spectators, gasps of awe and disbelief rang out. A few elders who had seen many battles couldn't help but mutter, "This Flame Emperor from the Endless Fire Domain is truly terrifying. Even Maha Tian can't suppress him. If he survives this battle, I fear no one in the Great Thousand World can stop his rise."
It was obvious to anyone watching—Xiao Yan had taken the upper hand.
It defied all expectations. Who would've thought that someone with weaker spiritual energy, and without a Sovereign Body, could be the first to inflict actual damage?
"Maha Clan Leader, how do you like the taste of my Flame-Splitting Sea Ruler Slash?" As the wave of ruler shadows dispersed, Xiao Yan's figure reappeared, standing in the sky like an invincible flame god.
He looked at Maha Tian, who was just climbing to his feet with traces of blood still on his face, and remarked with visible disappointment, "I expected the legendary Maha Ancient Clan to be something more... but it seems you're just mediocre after all."
