Seeing the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron knocked flying, the Supreme Heavenly Emperor revealed a faint smile. Even he found the power Gaishi had just unleashed astonishing. As expected of a pure body cultivator.
"Thanks." With the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron's suppression gone, Dao Jin was finally free. He thanked Gaishi.
Without Gaishi, the Supreme Heavenly Emperor could probably have used the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron to suppress him outright!
This weighed heavily on Dao Jin. The rate at which both the Supreme Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron were growing shocked him.
He had thought he'd made plenty of progress, but it turned out that the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, who was already stronger than him, had progressed even more!
How had he done it?
At this stage, cultivation was already exceedingly difficult. Even a little progress was a pipe dream. Yet the Supreme Heavenly Emperor had managed to make a huge leap in strength?
"Be careful. This man's strength is already extremely close to the Young Heaven Domain. If he can get even stronger, even Brother Gai won't have time to protect you," Gaishi warned.
With the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron summoned, the Supreme Heavenly Emperor was incredibly powerful, already close to that legendary domain. One could almost say he'd stepped halfway into it.
He could handle an opponent like this, but for Dao Jin, it would be far too much. Even as the previous Supreme Heavenly Emperor, he couldn't bridge that chasm through status alone. If you couldn't win, you couldn't win.
"You want me to withdraw and watch you fight him?" Dao Jin frowned, reading between the lines.
"Friend, if Brother Gai has to split his focus to protect you, he'll be hamstrung. This is the best option," Gaishi said.
Sometimes, two people fighting together wasn't as convenient as one fighting
