In theory, once one reached the Supreme Realm and beyond, advancement no longer relied solely on accumulating spiritual energy, but on one's ability to communicate and merge with heaven and earth.
Because Supreme Realm cultivators could influence space to a certain extent.
Just like Dou Zongs on the Dou Qi Continent.
Although the fundamental logic still relied on using oneself to leverage Heaven and Earth Power, much like the principle of a lever. Technique was important, but the length and angle of the lever mattered even more. Applied to cultivators, this meant their personal realm and strength. The higher their realm and strength, the more Heaven and Earth Power they could leverage, and the stronger the Heaven and Earth Power they could use against their enemies.
Even without an enemy.
The same principle applied when acting upon space.

It was like a plastic bag.
Ordinary air certainly could not tear apart the plastic bag from within, but rapidly spinning airflow had a high chance of bursting it open from the inside.
Thus, because worlds differed from one another.
Their rules differed as well.
That was why Dou Zongs in Lesser Thousand Worlds could leverage Heaven and Earth Power, while in the Myriad Heavens, cultivators had to reach the Supreme Realm or above before they could do so. The latter had higher requirements.
