The Immeasurable Saint Emperor waved his hand, a faint smile on his face:
"I didn't do anything, you're just amazing, you did it on the first try."
He had originally been worried that something unexpected might happen during the breakthrough, so he came here specifically to protect him.
Unexpectedly, Han Xuanji's breakthrough was extremely smooth, almost without any setbacks.
Han Xuanji smiled, her tone casual:
"I was just lucky."
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor snorted lightly, clearly not believing the explanation of "good luck".
One or two times could be due to good luck, but Han Xuanji's breakthroughs always seemed so easy.
Especially his last breakthrough, in which he broke through three realms in public, shocked countless people and caused the geniuses of the Dragon Terrace Sacred Banquet to immediately go into seclusion to cultivate, fearing that they would not be able to catch up.
As far as he knew, some prodigies failed to break through even when they were certain of success because they were too eager.
However, the Immeasurable Saint Emperor did not dwell on this topic. Instead, he suddenly became interested, looked Han Xuanji up and down, and suggested:
"Would you like to spar with me? Show me your moves, don't hold back, and let's see your current strength."
Han Xuanji's heart stirred.
Saying it was a friendly exchange was definitely a euphemism to appease him.
To put it bluntly, it was pointing out his shortcomings. He had just broken through to the Holy Lord and wanted to test his current level.
With a Top-Tier Saint King like the Immeasurable Saint Emperor personally providing guidance, such an opportunity is extremely rare.
Moreover, he doesn't need to hold back; he just needs to give it his all.
Han Xuanji immediately nodded:
"Then I'll have to trouble Your Saint Emperor."
"Haha, not bad, you've got guts."
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor was surprised to see that Han Xuanji agreed so readily. He had thought that Han Xuanji would try to negotiate some other conditions, but he didn't expect him to agree so decisively.
He smiled slightly and walked towards the vast void at the center of the Time Domain:
"Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve. This place is actually extremely stable; it can withstand even the aftershocks of a battle between Saint King- level expert."
It wasn't that he looked down on Han Xuanji, but rather that the difference between the two was undeniable.
Top-Tier Saint King can easily contend with several ordinary Eternal Sage King, while the Immeasurable Saint Emperor King, making him one of the most well-rounded among Top-Tier Saint King.
Even if Han Xuanji used all his strength, he probably wouldn't be able to hurt him in the slightest.
"Good!"
Han Xuanji naturally didn't think that he was invincible just because he had become Holy Lord.
He took a deep breath, suppressing all distracting thoughts, and his aura suddenly changed.
Unfettered Ultra Instinct Technique was activated to its limit, silver flames boiled on his body, and silvery-white flames surged out of his body like a tide, enveloping his entire body in a dazzling radiance.
His pupils turned silver-white, his muscles bulged slightly, Qi and Blood surged like a river, even the void beneath his feet was pressed into fine cracks by this aura.
"Oh?"
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise on his face.
He naturally recognized the Unfettered Ultra Instinct Technique and knew how difficult it was to Cultivation Method.
The fact that Han Xuanji could cultivate the Unfettered Ultra Instinct Technique to this level, with the silver flames on his body remaining condensed and his breath flowing freely, shows that his mastery of this Cultivation Method is quite profound.
"In terms of physical body, there aren't many who can rival your Eternal Holy Lord."
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor nodded slightly and praised.
Upon hearing the Saint Emperor's praise, Han Xuanji neither became arrogant nor rushed to make a move.
He flipped his hand and took out an unfinished sword blank from the System Space.
The sword blank was silver-white all over, about three feet long, with no blade or hilt on its surface, just a rough sword-shaped outline.
But as soon as the sword embryo appeared, the surrounding air suddenly became sharper, and the faint sound of swords echoed in the void.
Supreme Void Sword Embryo, obtained by signing in at the Eternal Sword Pavilion Sword-Forging Mountain Manor.
Although this item is not yet fully formed, it contains an immense amount of Sword Dao Origin power. Even if one simply holds it in their hand and uses it as a fire poker, it can greatly enhance their combat strength.
After entering the Holy Lord Realm, Han Xuanji did not restrict himself to using any particular path or method, because both the physical body and the Sword Dao were part of his Mystic Heaven Great Dao.
He held the sword blank in his left hand and clenched his fist in his right. Silver flames and sword light intertwined, making him look like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the sword embryo.
He narrowed his eyes, his gaze lingering on the sword blank for a moment, secretly marveling at it.
This sword blank is made of a special material, so even before it becomes a sword, it possesses such power.
If infused with a cultivator's lifeblood, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it could become the natal artifact of a top-tier Holy Lord or even Saint King.
Han Xuanji, that kid, has quite a few good things on him.
Could this be one of the benefits that the Eternal Sword Pavilion is giving him?
"Senior, take this!"
Han Xuanji gave a reminder, and then moved swiftly.
He slashed horizontally with his left sword embryo while clenching his right fist, not using any other methods, but instead maximizing his offensive capabilities.
The Sword Dao Origin within the sword embryo was activated, and the sword light condensed without dissipating. At the same time, he unleashed a powerful punch with his right fist, pushing the Unfettered Ultra Instinct Technique to its limit. Ten colors of Principle intertwined on the tip of his fist, and the Power of Mystic Heaven, along with the immense physical strength, blasted towards the Immeasurable Saint Emperor.
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor let out a soft exclamation, not expecting Han Xuanji to unleash such a powerful attack. He blocked with his left hand, deflecting Han Xuanji's sword light, and felt a slight tingling sensation in his palm.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The power of this sword strike has surpassed the Divine Ability abilities of Late-stage Holy Lord.
Faced with Han Xuanji's successive punches, he didn't use any fancy supernatural Divine Ability. He simply took a step forward and struck out with his palm.
But with this simple palm strike, Han Xuanji felt as if the entire world was pressing down on him.
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor's palm grew larger and larger in the field of vision. Wherever the palm wind passed, the void shattered inch by inch, and even the flow of time became disordered.
His palm strike was perfectly timed, angled, and executed with just the right amount of force, allowing him to steadily receive the punch.
The two exchanged blows in the void, exchanging dozens of moves in the blink of an eye.
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor suppressed his cultivation level throughout, refraining from using any Saint King- level Divine Ability, and only responding with the power of the Holy Lord Realm.
Even so, every move he made was exquisite, and his transitions between offense and defense were seamless.
Han Xuanji fought with great gusto, his Unfettered Ultra Instinct Technique maximizing his reaction speed. He alternated between sword strikes and fist attacks, sometimes using Sword Dao to launch powerful attacks, sometimes using his physical body to meet the attacks head-on, and occasionally incorporating a few Principle Divine Ability, displaying a variety of fighting styles.
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed; this kid hardly seemed like someone who had just broken through to the next level.
He was adept at using the Principle, his Sword Dao was sharp and domineering, and his physical body was ridiculously strong. The transitions between the three were seamless, as if he had been immersed in the Holy Lord Realm for countless years.
After exchanging over a hundred blows, the Immeasurable Saint Emperor suddenly withdrew his palms and retreated, waving his hand at Han Xuanji:
"Alright, that's enough."
With a hint of emotion on his face, he looked Han Xuanji up and down, and slowly said:
"Although you have just broken through, your combat power is already comparable to that of Late-stage Holy Lord."
If you were to forge that sword blank into a truly formidable weapon, you might be able to contend with even the most powerful Holy Lord.
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor was also somewhat embarrassed. He had originally thought that with his insight, guiding Han Xuanji should be a piece of cake.
Unexpectedly, this kid's use of the power of the Holy Lord Realm was quite sophisticated, not at all like someone who had just broken through.
You still say you're not a reincarnation of a powerful being? Who would believe that?
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor couldn't help but start imagining whether Han Xuanji had intentionally revealed herself in front of him.
Is she preparing to confront him?
"Thank you for your guidance, Holy Saint Emperor."
Han Xuanji put away the sword embryo and sincerely bowed to the Immeasurable Saint Emperor to express his gratitude.
They had no idea that the Saint Emperor was imagining things.
Han Xuanji now has a clearer understanding of his own combat strength.
He's roughly at the level of a top-tier Holy Lord, considering he still has many Law Treasure he hasn't used, and even Saint King- level artifacts.
As for why he was so skilled in combat, it was naturally due to the insights into the Great Dao he received as a sign-in reward, especially the gifts he obtained in the Sword Stele Forest, which included many powerful individuals at the Holy Lord Realm. After absorbing and understanding these insights, he naturally picked up the skills very easily.
