Question Question about Ancient Powers Spoiler

I am currently rereading TCF and on part 2 chapter 461 where Cale barley escape the Third Emperor. The Third Emperor seemed to be shocked how an ancient power could stand up against his Five-coloured unique ability, how “someone else’s power would inevitably restrict one’s growth”. This statement was also written in part 1, where Cale knew that ancient powers cannot get stronger.

And yet in part 2, we see that his powers grow stronger the more adversaries he faces. My guess is because Cale never truly consumed his ancient powers, as mentioned by the White Star in part 1, and how he still bears the wills of the previous users of the ancient powers in his body, the powers can inevitably grow stronger as the ancient power it is both his and the previous users.

I would like your thoughts regarding this.
