With a mere thought from Li Qing, a thousand of the more than a thousand True Crystals in his hand shattered on the spot, turning into a vast quantity of true light that was drawn into the Chaos Universe Pearl.
A First True Spirit Realm powerhouse possessed combat power comparable to ten thousand ordinary Intelligent Spirits.
But that was because quality made up for the difference in quantity.
In terms of raw power alone, the difference between the two was at most a hundredfold.
This meant that, given equal power, true reality principle radiance was a hundred times as potent as true light.
A hundredfold difference in power, combined with a hundredfold difference in quality, was what ultimately gave a First True Spirit Realm powerhouse ten thousand times the combat power of an ordinary Intelligent Spirit.
Back when the Sourceflow Incarnations besieged the formation Li Qing had constructed, in a region containing eight or nine Lands of Void, the four Sourceflows had to unite to muster the combat power of an ordinary Intelligent Spirit Pinnacle.
When eight or nine Lands of Void merged into one, they formed exactly one First True Spirit Realm powerhouse.
At that time, it had taken at least a hundredfold increase in scale to condense a principle. Only in combination with Sourceflow power had they all reached the peak of the First True Spirit Realm.
After an ordinary Intelligent Spirit Pinnacle survived the Principle Great Tribulation, they condensed true reality principle radiance.
They needed to absorb a vast amount of energy to fill the energy capacity of the First True Spirit Realm, and that took no small amount of time.
Now, a thousand True Light Crystals shattered inside the Chaos Universe Pearl. Vast quantities of true light merged into its true dao, increasing its total scale
