With the life force of an Omnipotent Soul, it was absolutely impossible to casually swat the Formless Devil Ancestor to death like one of those low-level devils.
Whether it was the One-Armed Sacred Body Ancestor or Pumiluoxius's current Eternal Sky City metal true body, although both possessed extraordinary power, the upper limit of the damage they could inflict upon Sovereigns was merely to kill them once, have them recover through their Omnipotent Souls, and repeat that cycle endlessly until those Omnipotent Souls were exhausted.
