Upon becoming a Dao Monarch, one's past self would also become a Dao Monarch, severing all traces of their weak past. Hence, the realm of a Dao Monarch would never fall.
"The power of a Dao Monarch... it's truly terrifying."
It was this revelation that made Jiang Chen understand why an Innate Dao Sovereign could crush an Innate Dao Monarch.
A Dao Monarch may appear as a single being, but in reality, they are a collective of countless selves, with a power that far exceeds that of a Dao Monarch by countless times.
A punch thrown is like countless selves throwing a punch simultaneously. Such power, how could an Innate Dao Monarch cope?
In the past, Jiang Chen had underestimated the Dao Monarchs. Now, having personally experienced this powerful force, he truly realized the chasm-like gap between himself and a Dao Monarch.
