Ye Fan, having stepped into the Quasi-Emperor realm, took control of the shell of the fully realized Sacred Body and awakened the imperial remains. He could kill even high-level Quasi-Emperors, while Great Sages were like ants before him.
Even ordinary beings on the verge of attaining the Dao could be challenged at the cost of his life.
Only true imperial giants were beyond his ability to fight.
This was because each step was like a heavenly chasm. Though only one step separated them, that final ultimate leap involved the mystery of attaining the Dao; it could not be crossed through a mere accumulation of battle power.
More importantly, it required an understanding of the myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth.
Therefore, if he wished to battle an ancient Supreme, he had to awaken the true power of that invincible Sacred Body, renowned throughout the ancient history of the human race—the imperial Dao Fruit.
As for how to awaken it...
"Seniors, please lend Ye another hand."
Ye Fan—or rather, the fully realized Sacred Body—leapt out from the vermilion ancient coffin. The golden giant, thirty meters tall, strode straight into the heavens, incomparably majestic.
Under the control of the four successive generations of Source Masters, the vast immortal formation formed from the Five-Colored Altar, which had been transformed from the five great regions of the Big Dipper, activated once more and blasted forth a beam of light capable of splitting open the heavens.
It happened to envelop Ye Fan, who was ascending into the sky, at its center.
Vast, boundless source power surged into his body, nearly bursting apart the Wheel Sea in Ye Fan's abdomen. Terrifying power filled every one of the countless cells in his body.
The shell of the fully realized Sacred Body was also shining, brimming with vitality.
