My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

"call out!"

Li Xuancang said no more and transformed into a streak of light, shooting out into the sky.

The Soul Emperor came knocking on his door, challenging him to a battle in the starry sky; he could not back down.

If the battlefield were to be placed in the Divine Dynasty, it would only lead to the sinking of the Land of Abandoned by Heaven, at which point the Divine Dynasty would suffer heavy losses.

The Soul Emperor had his own reasons for choosing the starry sky as his battlefield.

He was unsure of the Eternal Dynasty's true strength and worried that the great battle in the capital might lead to unforeseen circumstances.

"The Regent..."

Lei Tianjue and the other man shouted anxiously, trying to stop them, but it was too late.

"They're here."

As Li Xuancang rushed into the heavens, the Soul Emperor and his companion's eyes turned cold, their powers surging as they prepared to kill Li Xuancang as quickly as possible, giving him no chance whatsoever.

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious. Without any exchange, Li Xuancang threw a punch even before he arrived.

"hold head high!"

The force of the punch transformed into a blood-red dragon tens of thousands of meters long, roaring as it charged towards the two.

The Soul Emperor stepped forward, unleashing boundless soul power.

As the dragon approached, it felt as if it were sinking into a quagmire, with the surrounding forces constantly binding and squeezing it.

The dragon's scales fell off, revealing lifelike bones and flesh.

"hold head high!"

The dragon shuddered, breaking free of its surrounding restraints, and swiftly charged towards the Soul Emperor.

"Um!"

The Soul Emperor's eyes sharpened, somewhat taken aback.

He had fought Li Xuancang before and knew Li Xuancang's strength.

His strength was enough to easily crush the giant dragon formed by Li Xuancang's fist force, but reality was quite different from what he had expected.

The dragon was not only not destroyed, but it was also able to break through the soul power blockade and reach him. The Soul Emperor was surprised.

Despite his surprise, the Soul Emperor acted swiftly, condensing his immense soul power into a fist tens of thousands of meters long, which he smashed down from the heavens towards the giant dragon.

The dragon neither dodged nor avoided, but roared to the sky, its head lunging towards the fist.

"Bang!"

A colossal collision, a deafening explosion, silence descended upon everything, and time itself seemed to stand still.

"Boom, rumble..."

The aftershocks of the collision spread in all directions, instantly shattering the surrounding stars and meteorites into nothingness.

The two were the first to be hit. The Soul Emperor felt an overwhelming divine power strike him, and his body was blasted back.

A sharp pain shot through his body, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

In contrast, Li Xuancang remained unmoved, showing no signs of injury.

"How is that possible?"

Ignoring the excruciating pain, the Soul Palace's pupils contracted sharply, his eyes filled with disbelief.

In their last encounter, Li Xuancang was constantly on the defensive and unable to retaliate.

If Li Xuancang hadn't possessed a powerful physique, he would have been killed long ago.

There was a clear gap between the two sides; Li Xuancang was no match for him at all.

But the scene before him was one where Li Xuancang held an absolute advantage, suppressing the Soul Emperor. It all seemed so incongruous.

"Impossible! Were you hiding your true strength back then?"

The Soul Emperor was no longer calm; his eyes were bloodshot.

He suspected that Li Xuancang had been hiding his strength in the previous battle, otherwise he couldn't explain what was happening before him.

He would never believe that Li Xuancang had made such rapid progress in this period of time.

Li Xuancang did not answer, and was very satisfied with his current strength.

Even without cultivating the "Undying Scripture," he still possesses the strength to fight against a Celestial Realm expert.

Of course, he was even more terrifying after cultivating the "Immortal Scripture".

"A battle between powerful figures is taking place. Go and investigate immediately."

"This kind of aura definitely belongs to a Celestial Realm expert."

"The fluctuations are coming from the Land of Abandoned Heaven. Could it be that the Eternal God Emperor has made his move?"

"..."

The Eternal Divine Dynasty is the most powerful force in all the heavens and myriad realms. Whether in the heavens and myriad realms or on the Origin Continent, there are people monitoring the movements of the Divine Dynasty.

News of the earth-shattering battle spread, and various factions rushed to gather information.

"Soul Emperor, this person's strength is no less than yours or mine; you've lied to me."

The Soul Emperor asked him to help, only saying that Li Xuancang's physical body was strong, but his cultivation had not reached the Celestial Realm, before he agreed to help.

However, the combat power that Li Xuancang was displaying was completely inconsistent with what the God Emperor had said; he had already reached the Celestial Realm.

"This person was hiding his true strength; I misjudged him."

The Soul Emperor believed that Li Xuancang had been hiding his cultivation level, and this was his true strength.

The Taiyi Sect Leader's expression softened slightly, but his anger still hadn't subsided.

"boom!"

As the two were talking, Li Xuancang had already reached them and unleashed a punch that enveloped both of them.

Since they've come to our doorstep, they're enemies. Li Xuancang wants to use the two of them to properly demonstrate his current strength.

"Fellow Daoist, deal with him first."

With a formidable enemy at hand, the two cannot afford to fight amongst themselves.

The Soul Emperor stepped forward and punched Li Xuancang's fist.

"Bang!"

The two fists collided, unleashing a tremendous force that swept across the cosmos, leaving the center of the collision a pitch-black void.

"Snap!"

The force of the recoil struck, shattering the Soul Emperor's fist, and the power spread along his arm, bursting out of his body.

"puff!"

The Soul Emperor's upper body clothes were shattered, his hair was disheveled, and he was in a sorry state.

Despite the excruciating pain, the Soul Emperor unleashed his immense soul power into Li Xuancang's soul sea, intending to destroy his divine soul.

The force of the recoil was blocked by the protective aura around Li Xuancang's body, and he returned to normal after a slight sway.

Li Xuancang remained motionless, not pressing his advantage. The Soul Emperor quickly retreated, creating distance between himself and Li Xuancang.

Li Xuancang did not want to take advantage of the situation to launch an attack, but his soul sea was impacted, causing turbulent waves that he needed to suppress with all his might.

After cultivating the "Immortal Scripture", his soul also possessed the immortal Daoist charm.

His divine soul condensed into Li Xuancang himself, suppressing the turmoil in his soul sea.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Soul Emperor looked down at his fist. Three fingers had been broken, and his entire hand was fractured and mangled.

There was a trace of the purest, most domineering power in his palm, preventing it from recovering.

"boom!"

The Soul Emperor activated his soul power, attempting to annihilate the power in his palm.

"No, why is it so difficult to destroy?"

The next moment, the Soul Emperor's expression changed drastically, and he was shocked.

The force attached to his hands was difficult to resolve, preventing his injuries from healing.

"Damn it!"

The Soul Emperor's face darkened as he took out a pill and swallowed it.

Only with the combined effects of the medicine and his soul power could he barely extinguish the power in his palm, and his injuries gradually healed.

"boom!"

Before the Soul Emperor could recover from his injuries, Li Xuancang had already suppressed the riot in his Soul Sea and continued to attack him.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a large seal appeared above Li Xuancang, enveloping him, sealing off the surrounding space and time, and rapidly attacking him.

Li Xuancang stopped and looked up at the seal.

"Click, click click click..."

Li Xuancang clenched his right fist, and white energy danced wildly like lightning.

The space could not withstand this force, emitting a rumbling sound as if it were overwhelmed, revealing patch after patch of pitch-black void.

The power that had been sealing Li Xuancang was shattered, allowing him to escape the area enveloped by the seal in one step.

Li Xuancang pushed off with his foot, creating a black hole where he stood, and his figure transformed into a rainbow of light, rushing towards the seal.
