If it's really as the Beast God said, and the Taiyi Saint Heir has also glimpsed a corner of the cosmic realm, then he's truly a formidable opponent.
Ye Qiu originally thought his cultivation speed was fast enough, to have finally seen a path to the cosmic realm. It's important to note that seeing this road cost Ye Qiu a lot, a large part of which was due to the chance encounter that allowed him to transform using a demon body.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know when he'd be able to touch even a thread of the cosmic realm.
Now hearing that Taiyi might be infinitely close to the cosmic realm just like him, he realizes he's facing a powerful adversary.
The Beast God looked serious, and Ye Qiu knew she was worried for him, but could he really shrink back and do nothing?
When someone takes out a battle challenge and makes declarations, would Ye Qiu simply ignore it as if he hadn't heard?
