It is common knowledge that at the Emperor Realm, fighting across Ranks is extremely difficult.
Not to mention spanning a major Realm, even crossing a minor Rank is an incredibly arduous task.
This was also the source of Immortal King An Lan's confidence.
In his eyes, no matter how much of a Prodigy Jun Xiaoyao was, or how strong his Physique, there had to be a limit.
After all, he was only a newly ascended Emperor; there was still a gap between him and an established powerhouse like himself.
If Jun Xiaoyao had been Cultivating for a long time and was at the same level as him, An Lan naturally would not have dared to provoke him like this.
But now, An Lan realized that he seemed to be wrong—wrong in a way that was utterly absurd!
Jun Xiaoyao had actually stepped into the God-Forbidden Domain!
It could be said that below the Emperor Realm, some Prodigy talents did indeed possess the ability to fight across Ranks.
For instance, in the Boundary Sea, there were some so-called Forbidden-Breaking Level Prodigies.
But below the Emperor Realm and the Emperor Realm itself were two completely different concepts.
At the Emperor Realm level, being able to cross one or two minor Ranks was already considered an absolutely Heaven-Defying existence.
It was simply impossible to unleash such terrifying power as Jun Xiaoyao had.
Only an Emperor who had stepped into the God-Forbidden Domain possessed this ability, fearing no Emperor of a higher Rank, and having the power to fight across Ranks.
An ordinary Emperor and an Emperor who could step into the God-Forbidden Domain were simply not in the same league!
Their combat strength was also worlds apart!
Previously, although Jun Xiaoyao had forcefully beheaded six Immortal Kings from the Exotic Realm.
Those six Immortal Kings were all at the level of ordinary Emperors.
Plus, Jun Xiaoyao had manifested four Emperor bodies, so while he was a Prodigy, it wasn't particularly absurd.
But An Lan had never imagined.
That Jun Xiaoyao could be this Heaven-Defying.
Stepping into the God-Forbidden Domain, and as a Young Emperor at that.
Even looking across the Boundless Starry Sky, this was a rare, unrivaled existence that would leave countless people stunned and speechless.
And right now, An Lan had no room left for shock.
Jun Xiaoyao, using the Six Great Sacred Body Phenomena as a foundation, unleashed the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist.
It was already terrifying enough to shatter the cosmos and the firmament.
Now, it was further amplified by the tenfold combat strength of the "Jie" Character Mantra.
That unparalleled power was enough to make heaven and earth fall, and the entire great Universe to crumble.
Bang!
With one punch, half of An Lan's body shattered; the sound of bones cracking rang out, and his Emperor body fractured like cracked porcelain.
It was not that An Lan was weak.
It was just that Jun Xiaoyao was too unexpected, his combat strength too Heaven-Defying.
Having gained the upper hand, Jun Xiaoyao naturally would not miss the opportunity to beat a drowning dog.
His combat instincts were terrifyingly sharp; his fists struck continuously, and the light of Reincarnation flickered across the firmament.
An Lan struggled to resist, the An Lan Ancient Spear thrusting out.
But at this moment, Jun Xiaoyao, having stepped into the God-Forbidden Domain, could be called a God-Forbidden Emperor.
With one punch, his power erupted tenfold, something even the An Lan Ancient Spear could not withstand.
It was struck by Jun Xiaoyao's bare fists, causing it to tremble ceaselessly, with cracks even beginning to spread across its surface.
Finally, after dozens of Moves.
Jun Xiaoyao gathered his essence, Qi, and spirit, delivering an unparalleled punch that shook the heavens, as if sinking the worlds and the Universe, reducing everything to nothingness.
The An Lan Ancient Spear was forcefully cracked by the force of Jun Xiaoyao's fist!
Metallic fragments splattered across the sky like a meteor shower.
And the artifact spirit nurtured within the An Lan Ancient Spear was instantly obliterated.
Pfft!
The moment the An Lan Ancient Spear shattered.
An Lan's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
This was his life-bound weapon, cultivated alongside him, capable of erupting with Emperor-level combat strength; it could be said to be one of Immortal King An Lan's trump cards.
But now, the An Lan Ancient Spear had been directly shattered by Jun Xiaoyao's fist.
As his life-bound weapon, Immortal King An Lan was naturally severely wounded in an instant.
"You..."
An Lan was furious, yet also deeply alarmed.
He had not expected that Jun Xiaoyao would be an Emperor capable of stepping into the God-Forbidden Domain.
Had he known this, he would never have easily provoked Jun Xiaoyao.
"Hmph, this King admits that you truly have the confidence and qualifications. Stop here, and this King will not make things difficult for you."
An Lan snorted coldly.
Jun Xiaoyao, however, laughed.
This An Lan really had thick skin.
"Does Jun's ability require your acknowledgment?"
Without another word, Jun Xiaoyao struck again, the Six Great Sacred Body Phenomena guarding him.
Setting Jun Xiaoyao off as a peerless immortal god in white, suppressing all enemies.
"Presumptuous! A King cannot be humiliated! Do you really think this King has no other methods?!"
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao refusing to let up, An Lan's expression turned slightly grim.
If he were to be defeated by Jun Xiaoyao, it would be a massive blow to morale.
An Lan shouted, and behind him, a vast Universe appeared, with celestial star trails connecting.
It seemed to transform into a vast star map, emitting unparalleled power of suppression, sweeping towards Jun Xiaoyao.
As a renowned Immortal King, An Lan was not truly just a silver-like pewter spear head.
It could be said that if he faced any other Immortal Domain Emperor, An Lan would have nothing to fear.
Unfortunately, he thought he had picked a soft persimmon, but it turned out to be a tough nut to crack, and he had overturned the cart himself.
Forced into a corner, he had no choice but to unleash his trump card of suppression.
This Move was extremely powerful, truly shocking the world.
The vast star map seemed to turn into a real Universe, with ten thousand paths of divine radiance, brilliant starlight, and permeating with an ancient aura.
Any ordinary Emperor would definitely be instantly suppressed into it, worn down, and refined.
However, Jun Xiaoyao's aura was like a rainbow, his Divine Might shaking the Nine Heavens.
From his body, the power of one hundred million Sumeru Worlds erupted completely; every cell felt like a world of its own.
Besides being an Emperor in Realm, Jun Xiaoyao was also an Emperor in Physical Body.
And now, Jun Xiaoyao unleashed the terrifying power of his Physical Body Emperor status.
At the same time, the radiance of the Emperor Dao shone, and the Divine Laws of the Emperor Dao appeared.
He once again unleashed the Daoist Nine-Character Mantra, and within his pupils, an ancient Mantra character emerged.
The "Dou" Character!
The so-called Dou Character was the essence of Divine Ability combat.
It could not only strengthen the proficiency and power of Divine Ability Moves.
It could also simulate and deduce, finding every flaw in the opponent's Moves; it was the supreme method of combat.
Previously, Jun Xiaoyao had signed in to obtain the War God Catalog, which included the Saintly Battle Method.
And now, this Dou Character Mantra could be seen as a sublimation of the Saintly Battle Method.
It was precisely because Jun Xiaoyao had cultivated the War God Catalog and the Saintly Battle Method.
That he was able to grasp this Dou Character Mantra more quickly.
Jun Xiaoyao integrated his insights from the War God Catalog and the Saintly Battle Method into the Dou Character Mantra.
Unleashing it at this moment.
Within his pupils, the ancient Dou Character Mantra appeared.
In an instant, this terrifying suppression Move of Immortal King An Lan.
Seemed to be dismantled, turning into countless trajectories appearing in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
Although such a Divine Ability was extremely powerful.
In this world, there was no truly perfect Divine Ability.
Even if there were, it might not be perfectly executed.
So as long as it was a Divine Ability Move, there would inevitably be flaws and weak points.
Jun Xiaoyao's fist was peerless, suppressing the Nine Heavens, with every punch striking at a flaw in An Lan's Divine Ability.
It was truly hitting the snake at its seven-inch mark.
In just a moment, the Universe that An Lan had manifested began to shake, crack, and then shatter.
"How can this be?!"
An Lan's eyes widened, his voice trembling in disbelief.
How could his trump card suppression Move be broken by Jun Xiaoyao just like that?
And Jun Xiaoyao naturally gave An Lan no room to recover, striking across, his Divine Might surging.
An Lan blocked, but both his arms exploded; his entire Emperor body was sent flying by Jun Xiaoyao, blood staining the long sky!
Immortal King An Lan, defeated!
