This Power Had Yet to Reach Its Limit

Meanwhile, his boundless pressure erupted and swept across the land!

In an instant, every palace and pavilion within thousands of square kilometers of the Divine Martial Imperial Hall collapsed. Before the bricks and rubble could even hit the ground, the mighty force crushed them to dust—

The most sacred place in the hearts of all Saiyans on the Divine Martial Battle Star, the Imperial Hall, was reduced to nothing by the power Barros had inadvertently let slip.

Beyond the Imperial Hall,

Xuesaiya, Xuesaili, and the others, who had originally been protecting him, were nowhere to be seen.

They hadn't abandoned him. Rather—

The moment Barros's power erupted in full, his rampaging pressure swept out like a flood, unstoppable, hurling Xuesaiya, Xuesaili, Palanti, Jiyande, and the other guardians away!

Faced with Barros's overwhelming might, unleashed without restraint as he charged toward becoming a Super Saiyan,

The strength Xuesaiya and Xuesaili had once prided themselves on—the confidence that all they needed was an opportunity to transform and sweep the East Galaxy, undefeated—

Had become a complete joke!

After being hurled thousands of meters away, Xuesaiya and Xuesaili exerted every ounce of their strength to force their bodies to steady in midair.

They managed to stop, but blood trickled from the corners of their mouths, and their breathing was ragged;

The top Saiyans, meanwhile, spat blood as they flew an unknown distance, only managing to crash to a halt against distant cliffs or ruins.

Though they were far apart, Xuesaiya and the others knew perfectly well: of those Saiyans, nearly everyone except Jiyande and Meisu had been injured to some degree.

Looking toward the horizon, they saw the terrifying might surging wildly around Barros. His power erupted like a volcano, shaking the entire starry sky.

Jiyande, Meisu, and the group of top Saiyans all breathed heavily, their chests heaving. Their pupils contracted, and their faces were filled with stunned disbelief.

They knew all too well that if Barros's pressure hadn't been directed away from them, that instant eruption would have done far more than hurl them thousands of meters and leave them with a few superficial injuries.

These Saiyans knew exactly how strong they were.

When they fought for Barros across the East Galaxy, they swept through countless races, facing no resistance and never losing a battle.

With the strength of a million-level star systems behind them, their pride had long been etched into their bones. It needed no explanation.

But today, the confidence that had once let them shatter galaxies and dominate the universe proved as fragile as a sheet of paper before Barros—one touch, and it crumbled to dust.

Rather than say they had been blown away by his aura, it was more accurate to say Barros had taught them a lesson in the coldest way possible:

You are indeed strong, but the vast universe is full of powerful beings. There is always someone stronger—and you are still a very, very long way from the true peak!

At that moment, the weaker Saiyans around the Imperial Hall were already struggling to breathe.

Barros's pressure bore down like a mountain, forcing them to their knees as they trembled. They soon couldn't take it and could only retreat in panic, withdrawing far from the Imperial Hall and staring toward it with ashen faces.

Dark clouds churned across the sky of the entire Divine Martial Battle Star, and thunder rumbled without end. Thick bolts of lightning tore through the clouds and crashed into the ground, leaving countless charred craters—an appalling sight.

And yet...

His power continued to surge without end. The potential sleeping deep within Saiyan blood—or, more precisely, dormant inside Barros—seemed inexhaustible, showing no sign of fading.

The blazing white aura around him was turning a dazzling gold inch by inch; his eyes flickered rapidly between black and emerald green.

Clearly, his transformation into a Super Saiyan was imminent.

But would it really go so smoothly?

The instant that golden hue completely covered his aura—

The pressure, already suffocating, suddenly surged, transforming into a deity looking down upon all creation as it descended into the mortal world.

An even more violent, even more overbearing aura erupted with a roar, sweeping across the eight directions!

His energy soared into the heavens. The thick clouds and lightning over the Divine Martial Battle Star all shattered at once—dragons of lightning vanished, dark clouds dispersed, and heaven and earth fell silent.

"The Emperor... is too strong... I can't... I can barely breathe!"

Even the Saiyans still near the Imperial Hall, who believed their foundations were solid, felt their throats constrict in an instant. It was as if iron pincers were squeezing their lungs shut, and suffocation rushed over them.

The next second, everyone bolted, as if a soul-devouring beast were on their heels.

But after only a few steps, an irresistible flood of pressure swept over like a thunderous avalanche—

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

One figure after another was blasted away, streaks of blood tracing across the sky.

When this even stronger pressure finally reached Xuesaiya and Xuesaili—

Even though their battle powers had reached over three million, they had no time to block or dodge. In the blink of an eye, they were blasted out of the Imperial Hall's core area, flung clear of that deadly zone where the pressure was strongest.

Ten thousand meters away, every face was drawn tight, every expression as grim as iron.

The area around the Imperial Hall had long since been emptied by Barros. It had become a genuine forbidden zone, utterly devoid of life.

And beneath Barros— the ground had been crushed into a vast crater, its edges scorched and curled upward, like the site of a fallen meteor or a direct hit from an energy cannon with the force of ten thousand tons... Truly terrifying.

Feeling that power now, that strength at its absolute peak, that pressure cold enough to freeze the soul...

Even the planet-sized Divine Martial Battle Star seemed to tremble and shudder in a frenzy at the transformation of the supreme being who ruled it—Divine Martial Emperor Barros!

"What... is happening to Divine Martial Emperor Barros?"

"This power... It's terrifying! Is this the Emperor's true trump card?"

"Hahaha! If the Emperor is this strong, sweeping across the universe is only a matter of time!"

"The Scouters have all blown up! Even the largest specially made battle-power display can't measure the Emperor's current limit!"

"Even the specially made battle-power display has failed? Has Divine Martial Emperor Barros's battle power... really surpassed 100 million?"

At that moment, it wasn't just the ordinary Saiyans. Even the strongest among them—Xuesaiya, Xuesaili, Palanti, and Jiyande—stood frozen in place, all staring at Kamosi, who had just ended his call, their faces full of shock.

The specially made large battle-power display on the Divine Martial Battle Star had a maximum reading of a full 100 million!

What did that mean?—Barros's true battle power had already soared far beyond 100 million!

One hundred million.

To the Saiyans, whose battle power was generally only a few hundred thousand, or at most a million, that number was enough to make their hearts quail.

Even the currently strongest Xuesaiya sisters, with battle powers of over three million, were no more than a drop in the ocean—insignificant before someone who exceeded 100 million.

At the thought, every Saiyan, including Xuesaiya and the others, couldn't help trembling—

They were afraid, awestruck, fired with passion, and overwhelmed with emotion.

Back then, Frieza's battle power of 120 million and King Cold's 150 million had driven them from their homes, fleeing Planet Vegeta in a panic.

But it had only been a few years?

Barros's strength had not only caught up, but at one point even surpassed King Cold, the father of the emperor who had once driven the entire Saiyan race to flee in despair!

For a moment, they didn't know what to say. Excitement? Of course. Who wouldn't be stirred to the depths by the chance to serve such an unprecedented emperor?

They certainly felt anticipation. They eagerly awaited the moment Barros would completely break through his limits, convinced it would mark the beginning of the Saiyans' true rise to the peak.

Excitement, elation, exhilaration—each Saiyan was swept up in their own emotions.

But whatever they felt inside, nearly every Saiyan now had their gaze fixed on Barros, who was on the verge of transformation.

No one knew what earth-shattering metamorphosis this Emperor was undergoing;

And no one could have guessed that he was striving to attain the supreme form passed down through generations of Saiyan lore, a form almost like a myth—the Super Saiyan!

Yet from the phenomenon unfolding before their eyes, they could tell: Barros was growing stronger at a breathtaking pace, fast enough to leave them gasping and trembling with fear!

The veins bulged across his arms, coiling like mighty dragons, twisted and powerful.

Saiyan blood roared through his veins, and his genetic chains trembled at high frequency, on the verge of snapping.

This was a new dimension beyond the limits, another realm reached through the evolution of Saiyan blood—the domain of the Super Saiyan!

"Ha—aaah!!!" Barros threw back his head and roared. Golden flames erupted around him, forming a pillar of light that split the sky and shot straight into the heavens.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Just as his transformation was on the verge of completion, the ground beneath him suddenly split apart. Deep fissures spread wildly in every direction like a spiderweb.

"Break through for me—NOW!!!" He clenched both fists. The endless torrent of Super Saiyan power surging through him poured forth, flooding into his body.

His power skyrocketed. His hair first turned golden, then, without warning, shifted to grass green.

Barros himself knew nothing of this. There was only one thing he understood: This power had yet to reach its limit!

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The golden flames around him suddenly surged, burning with twice the intensity.

BOOM!!!

As his hair turned completely grass green, an energy so violent and terrifying it defied all limits erupted, sweeping across the stars and engulfing the entire Divine Martial Battle Star.

Whoosh—!!!

A hurricane sprang into being, carrying a pressure that could destroy heaven and earth as it swept outward with a roar.

Within ten thousand meters of the Imperial Hall, already reduced to dust by his aura, not a single wall or piece of rubble remained. There was only a barren, desolate plain, empty and dead!

Ten thousand meters away, Xuesaiya, Xuesaili, and the others watched their expressions change as they retreated in a flash.

Even from so far away, they could clearly feel the bone-chilling threat of death.

It was easy to imagine that if they were at the storm's center, even the two of them, each with a battle power exceeding three million and the strength of a star system, would have been gravely injured and left on the brink of death!

An overbearing aura burned wildly around him, and Barros's eyes had completely transformed into emerald green.

Yet just as his pupils were about to vanish completely, an ancient factor lying dormant deep within his blood, once altered by an ancient power, seemed to be awakened or enraged by some unseen will—

A drop of strange purple-gold blood silently seeped out and quietly merged with his transforming body.

BOOM!!!

Barros had already reached his limit, but with that drop of blood entering him, the flames around his entire body blazed again, as if doused in oil!
