Starting from the Sixth Rank, catastrophe beings officially receive recognition from the World Origin, gaining a World Official Position, acting on behalf of heaven to manage controlled areas.
This also grants catastrophe beings a powerful effect: Realm Peak.
As long as a catastrophe being remains within their managed region, their strength is automatically elevated to the peak of their current realm.
When Qiu Tu first advanced to the Sixth Rank, residing in the East City Area, his strength was imdiately boosted from the early Sixth Rank Stage to the Peak Sixth Rank.
Likewise, when Qing Lan blocked Zhao Ji, because she was in her own controlled region, her power soared to the Peak Eighth Rank.
Therefore, facing the newly advanced Qiu Tu, Guang Chan, i La, and Sindo all felt extrely tense.
At this mont, feeling Qiu Tu's surging aura, the Four Deities glanced at each other, seeing fear reflected in each other's eyes.
i La was clearly the most flustered; she looked to Guang Chan and asked, anxious and trembling, "Boss, what do we do?"
"It really looks like Qiu Tu has advanced!"
Hearing i La's words, Guang Chan rubbed his shiny bald head, the runes on his face and scalp flashing wildly.
After a mont, he snarled, "Afraid of what! He's just a human who's barely stepped into the Eighth Rank—what does he know of Eighth Rank combat?"
"If he doesn't understand how to fight, even at Realm Peak of the Eighth, what of it?"
"How much strength can he really bring to bear?"
Hearing Guang Chan's words, the pink-haired female pirate wore a conflicted expression, replying, "Boss... it's not about how much Qiu Tu can unleash."
"The problem is our roles have completely switched. Just now, it was four of our Eighth Ranks against two of theirs, and even then we only held the upper hand on the surface."
"Now with Qiu Tu on their side, and us down Sindo..."
"One gained, one lost—we're thoroughly outmatched."
"Especially... Once above Seventh Rank, Domain Masters can not only teleport themselves, but also move other beings within their region."
"That totally nullifies your Cataclysmic ability."
"In this situation, if we don't run or surrender, are we just waiting to die?"
When i La voiced this, Guang Chan's face turned grim at once.
Because i La wasn't exaggerating; on the contrary, she said exactly what he knew but dared not consider.
However... as a subordinate, i La could suggest surrender, but Guang Chan could never bring himself to say it.
Plus! Compared to i La, who's always concerned about Qiu Tu's strength, Guang Chan never thought Qiu Tu was so formidable as to warrant fear.
After all, for Guang Chan to beco leader of the Heavenly Punishnt Alliance, he had fought countless battles.
He'd entered newly advanced Domain Masters' territories and smashed those Domain Masters with his bare hands—he's done it before.
Qiu Tu, with the Domain Master bonus, is he really that terrifying?
He figured, at worst, he could fight Qiu Tu to a standstill.
The only real issue... was that his backup was useless, dragging him down.
And now, just as he was thinking this—
Suddenly, "Bang!" "Bang!"—two loud blasts!
Along with the noises, the cow and horse carried on Guang Chan and i La's shoulders suddenly, amidst a cloud of smoke, reverted to Sindo.
Seeing Sindo restored to his true body, Guang Chan's eyes lit up ever so slightly.
He spoke in a low voice, "Qing Lan's Cataclysmic ability—the condition for removal is 'ti'?"
Upon hearing Guang Chan's hypothesis, Sindo's face was dark and he replied with a grunt, "Yes."
He paused, then added, "Or to be more precise: ti and damage."
He said, "After I was turned into a cow and horse, I found myself... completely overwheld by negative emotions."
"No matter what was said, I couldn't process it. All I wanted was to 'moo, neigh' all day. I couldn't even tell if I was a person anymore."
"But... as ti passed, my mind grew clearer and I beca more aware of who I was, what I wanted."
"Also, I discovered that when I was injured, my thoughts and awareness accelerated."
"So, I speculate... The key to lifting Qing Lan's ability lies in two things: the passage of 'ti,' leading to self-awakening; and getting attacked, suffering damage."
After Sindo finished, both Guang Chan and i La nodded slightly, their fears about Qing Lan's Cataclysmic ability significantly eased.
That's how it is in this world—battles between Transcendents and Deities.
Cataclysmic abilities can matter more than raw strength. Even if you're weaker, a strong Cataclysmic ability lets you overturn the ga.
But just the sa, the mont a fight begins, abilities will be exposed, and others will eventually figure them out.
So, if your ability is only tricky but your strength diocre, once your power is cracked, your combat power plunges.
That's the fundantal logic of Supernatural Power duels in this world.
So now, hearing that Sindo had 'cracked' Qing Lan's Cataclysmic ability, and that he was back to normal—
Guang Chan's heart instantly settled.
He weighed the current strength on both sides, then turned to i La and said,
"Qiu Tu's just entered the Eighth Rank, unfamiliar with Eighth Rank combat—even if his realm is artificially boosted to Peak Eighth, being able to exert late Eighth Rank power is already impressive."
