Zhang Yuan's gaze tightened slightly. This is bad, he thought.
Once they went beyond the heavens, things would no longer be this simple. He would no longer be able to speak with Lu Qingwu as an equal.
A Celestial Person at perfection who had lived for a thousand years unleashing his full strength was not someone an early-stage Celestial Person could contend with. Calling it a bitter battle would hardly do it justice; going beyond the heavens was practically marching to his death.
