Baier breathed a sigh of relief at this thought.
After all, Theresia was a lower-level Paragon Sovereign of the Wind Element in the Magic Universe, and the pressure she exerted on Baier was considerable.
However, now in the Starry Sky Universe, he, Baier, was the Creator of the Wind Element Law!
Even if Theresia had forged a body close to the level of a Lord God Artifact like those others, she would still not be his match.
"However, Theresia isn't a fool. If she dares to challenge me when my strength is ten times hers, she must have some confidence."
"Tsk..."
Clicking his tongue lightly, Baier gave a faint smile. "It seems the matters of the Divine Wind Dynasty were also orchestrated by Theresia?"
"Trying to obstruct my progress with this Mental Energy?"
"How naive!"
With that, Baier stopped paying attention to the matters of the Divine Wind Dynasty.
He was the one with the advantage now.
It would be best to let Theresia prepare herself before coming to him.
One Wind Element, no need for two Supremes.
More than ten thousand years ago, Baier and Theresia were both at the Emperor level. At that time, Baier's creation of Emperor-level laws was inferior to Theresia's. If Baier hadn't seized the Dao Fruit of the Wind Element and increased his strength a hundredfold, he would certainly not have been Theresia's opponent back then.
Even so, in the battle with Theresia, Baier could only gain a slight advantage and could not kill her.
However, by incorporating Theresia's Divine Wind Dynasty into his own, Baier gained immense Mental Energy, allowing him to Proving the Dao to become a Heavenly Emperor before Theresia.
"This time, I will completely send you to your grave, Theresia... Sovereign!"
...
"Heh, that little girl Tina..."
In the Sun God Dynasty, Roy withdrew his gaze and chuckled, shaking his head.
Even Roy hadn't expected that among the other nine people, Tina would be the first to cultivate the Law of Illusion to the Heavenly Emperor level.
And with her first move, she played a trump card.
If one were not a Creator, a Quasi Heavenly Emperor would basically be the limit for an ordinary cultivator.
To advance an Imperial Dao Law to an Immortal Dao Law, the Dao Fruit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao is an indispensable component.
A person's thinking is limited.
And in order to achieve Supreme Immortal Dao, one can only absorb the perspectives of others on their own cultivated laws from the Dao Fruit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, allowing their own Imperial Dao Law to gradually grow, and finally making the ultimate leap to upgrade the Imperial Dao Law into a Supreme Immortal Dao Law.
At the Heavenly Emperor level, the gap in strength increases with the transformation of laws.
It encompasses the four stages of strength in the Magic Universe, from Lower-level Lord God to Rule Sovereign.
Similarly, for a Heavenly Emperor, one whose laws have transformed once is comparable to a Mid-level Lord God.
One whose laws have transformed twice is comparable to a Sovereign.
One whose laws have transformed thrice is comparable to a Rule Sovereign.
After that, it is to condense the thrice-transformed laws, similar to how Imperial Text is condensed, except that the Immortal Dao condenses "Immortal Text."
This is the Supreme God realm in the Magic Universe, and also the God King realm in the main Universe.
The seventeen Paragons and Lilia from the Magic Universe came to the Starry Sky Universe, abandoning their strength, status, and endless lifespan in the Magic Universe, in order to break through to this realm.
However, of the nine Heavenly Emperors who have now broken through the Heavenly Emperor realm, apart from Roy, the other eight have not yet discovered the difference between the Dao Fruit they condensed and the Dao Fruit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.
If their comprehension of laws does not improve, the Imperial Text they condensed will not change at all.
However, the Imperial Text condensed by the Heavenly Dao is constantly absorbing the insights of all cultivators of the same element in the world, and it changes every moment.
The Heavenly Dao Imperial Text in the next second will definitely be more exquisite than the Heavenly Dao Imperial Text in the previous second.
To comprehend the Heavenly Dao Dao Fruit Imperial Text is like copying homework; the teacher has already written out the answers and solution steps, and it all depends on whether you can learn and comprehend.
Closing his eyes, Roy continued to adjust the structure of his Imperial Text according to the Heavenly Dao Imperial Text, comprehending more Fire Element Laws.
...
"It's almost time."
Sensing the surging Mental Energy around him, Theresia nodded in satisfaction.
With the help, intentional or unintentional, of the people from the former Divine Wind Dynasty and some within the Divine Wind Dynasty itself, Theresia felt that over the past ten years, the Mental Energy she had obtained had reached nearly eighty percent of the Divine Wind Dynasty's total.
"I suppose Baier must be getting impatient."
Thinking of this, Theresia sent a telepathic message to Mars.
"Lord Theresia."
In less than three minutes, Mars appeared before Theresia.
"Mars, have you prepared what I asked you to prepare?"
"Lord Theresia, as of now, we have made preparations on over ninety percent of the planets within the entire Divine Wind Dynasty. With just a word from you, we can complete the final step and activate the altar for the heavenly sacrifice within five days at the latest."
"Very good."
Theresia nodded with satisfaction.
"Mars, I'll depart first. Once Baier leaves the imperial capital of the Divine Wind Dynasty, you will immediately set up an altar within the Divine Wind Dynasty."
"Whether we can defeat Baier this time and replace the Wind Element Law in the Heavenly Dao with mine depends on you all."
"Yes, Lord Theresia, we will not fail your trust."
After receiving Mars's reply, Theresia transformed into a streak of blue light and flew out of the imperial capital of the Divine Wind Dynasty, entering the starry sky of the universe and wantonly releasing her aura.
In an instant, the entire territory of the Divine Wind Dynasty was enveloped by this powerful aura.
For ordinary people, this aura simply made them aware that a great being had rewarded the Divine Wind Dynasty.
For the major families within the Divine Wind Dynasty, this was a turning point that would determine their future fate.
If they won the gamble, their future cultivation bottlenecks would be greatly improved, alleviating the situation of the Wind Element being the weakest for over ten thousand years.
If they lost the gamble, they might be completely purged by Lord Baier.
Baier, who was staying in the imperial city of the Divine Wind Dynasty, also raised his eyes.
Those eyes seemed to pierce through infinite distance, meeting Theresia's gaze as she stood in the starry sky.
"Theresia, is this the graveyard you've chosen for yourself?"
"Heh heh, in the end, whose graveyard it is, or whose burial ground, who knows."
"This isn't over ten thousand years ago. What makes you think you can leave my hands alive?"
"I have an extra Heavenly Dao Dao Fruit, and my strength is a hundred times greater than yours. What will you use to fight me?"
"Oh? Since you say your strength is a hundred times greater than mine, why don't you come out and fight me now? Instead, you're hiding in the planet and spouting nonsense?"
Initially, upon hearing Lord Baier say his strength was a hundred times greater than Lord Theresia's, the Emperor-level powerhouses within the Divine Wind Dynasty were all startled.
A difference in strength of a hundred times was already enough to instantly kill an opponent.
If what Lord Baier said was true, then it meant Lord Theresia couldn't even withstand one move from Lord Baier?
Fortunately, Theresia's final retort reassured everyone.
Indeed, if the difference in strength between Lord Theresia and Lord Baier was truly that great, she wouldn't have come to provoke Baier like this.
And Baier's reaction also indicated his apprehension towards Theresia.
"Hmph, since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"
"Theresia, this is not the Magic Universe, and you are no longer that high and mighty Lord God!"
With that said, Baier transformed into a streak of blue light and flew out of the planet in the imperial city of the Divine Wind Dynasty.
…
"Boom!"
Without any delay.
Two streaks of blue light collided in the universe.
A fierce explosion spread, and powerful shockwaves emanated from the center of the explosion. Planets in the surrounding starry sky that were affected were instantly turned into dust.
A figure was flung out from the center of the explosion, and as they flew backward, drops of blood rain splattered.
After leaving the figure, this blood rain all transformed into powerful destructive storms, destroying everything in their path.
"Heh heh, Baier, your strength isn't a hundred times greater than mine as you claimed."
This collision between Baier and Theresia resulted in Theresia's defeat.
Theresia's voice rang out; although injured, she sounded vigorous.
Baier, on the other hand, although he had the upper hand, did not look pleased.
According to his previous calculations, the difference in strength between Theresia and himself should have been dozens of times. Even if he couldn't kill Theresia with one blow, he should have been able to inflict severe injuries.
But after this move, Baier discovered that the difference in strength between Theresia and himself was actually less than ten times!
In the previous collision, he had indeed fractured Theresia's arm bone.
However, such an injury was nothing to existences at their level.
It only required some Law Power to fully recover.
"Is that so?"
Baier let out a cold laugh in response to Theresia's mockery.
"Perhaps my strength isn't a hundred times greater than yours, but it will only take me a little more time to kill you."
"Lord Theresia, have you ever considered that you might one day die at the hands of a Paragon realm expert like me?"
Afterward, Baier beckoned, and a long sword emitting blue light appeared in his hand. He swiftly attacked Theresia.
"Crack crack crack crack…"
Theresia, flying backward, grabbed the void with one hand. Blue light flashed from her palm, carving several marks in the starry sky and halting her backward momentum.
Similarly, Theresia also drew a long sword from her hand and slashed towards Baier's attack.
"Boom!"
The two long swords collided, and Theresia was sent flying. Then, Baier followed closely, and waves of sword light engulfed Theresia.
"Chichichichichi..."
Theresia swung her long sword, fending off Baier's tide-like attacks.
However, the absolute gap in strength caused Theresia to sustain several wounds.
"Die by your hand? Baier, you think too highly of yourself."
Although at a disadvantage, Theresia still mocked Baier: "With your meager abilities, you think you can kill me? You're dreaming!"
"Hmph, I'll see how long your toughness lasts!"
Baier ignored Theresia and focused on attacking her.
A hundredfold difference in strength could instantly kill an opponent.
A tenfold difference in strength could heavily injure an opponent in one move.
Baier didn't know what methods Theresia had used to amplify her strength in addition to her physical body, resulting in a current gap of only about eight times between them.
Although an eightfold difference in strength gave Baier the upper hand in the battle against Theresia, it did not provide a decisive advantage.
Especially since Theresia's body was close to a Lord God Artifact, making it difficult for Baier to inflict severe damage on her.
...
"Baier and Theresia's Dao struggle..."
Battles at the Heavenly Emperor level had a wide-ranging impact across the starry sky.
If the battle lasted for a long time, the destruction of a star domain would not be considered a major event.
The battle between Baier and Theresia in the Divine Wind Dynasty was quickly discovered by people from the other sixteen major powers.
Any Emperor-level Creator who possessed a Dao Fruit, or any cultivator whose strength had reached the Emperor level or above, could sense the massive energy collision within the Divine Wind Dynasty.
Instantly, those with weaker strength whose spiritual senses could not reach the Divine Wind Dynasty's territory could only roughly perceive the situation of the battle through the collision of their energies.
Those like Lilia and Tina, whose spiritual senses were powerful enough to reach the Divine Wind Dynasty's territory, extended their spiritual senses to watch the battle between Baier and Theresia.
"Tsk tsk, Baier isn't good enough..."
"As a Heavenly Emperor, to be fighting like this with Theresia, a Quasi Heavenly Emperor."
"Indeed, but if we hadn't witnessed Lilia's Heavenly Emperor-level ranking battle, we might have been similar to Baier."
"Indeed..."
Palhouse's words resonated with all the Paragon cultivators.
In the Magic Universe, in the era when Lord Gods did not appear, Paragon cultivators were the pinnacle of existence.
With their Paragon laws and willpower, they didn't take anyone else seriously, except for those of the same level.
Therefore, they didn't place much importance on the strength of their physical bodies.
But Lord Gods were different.
Whether it was the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods or the Five Great Rule Sovereigns, the physical strength of each of them was no less than a Lord God Artifact, and they knew how much a powerful body could amplify their strength.
Even Theresia had been educated by the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods for many years.
After coming to the Starry Sky Universe, how could she not address her shortcomings?
Only Baier, having failed to leave a projection in the Heavenly Tribulation Palace, missed the opportunity to watch Lilia's ranking battle, and thus did not prioritize physical strength.
"However, it's surprising that Theresia's strength hasn't fallen behind."
"Yes, indeed."
This group of people were the paramount figures at the very top of the Starry Sky Universe, and their insight was naturally extraordinary.
Logically speaking, even with a body close to a Lord God Artifact, the gap between Theresia and Baier should have been at least tens of times.
