The Luo Tian Battle (Conclusion)

The moment Luo Chen broke free of the Golden Core Spiritual Pressure and lunged straight at Zheng Xian,

beneath the biting Adamantine Wind of the Nine Heavens Cloud Layer,

three startled exclamations rang out in succession.

None of them had expected a mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator to break free of the Spiritual Pressure unique to Golden Core Cultivators.

In the Cultivation World, challenges across levels were rare, but not unheard of.

Yet such feats usually occurred only between minor levels within the same realm.

Once a fight crossed a major realm, it was almost invariably one-sided. Few could defeat someone above them.

For a Qi Refinement Cultivator to face a Foundation Establishment cultivator meant contending with the vast gulf created by Spiritual Sense extending beyond the body and Spiritual Power Liquefaction.

Unless that Qi Refinement Cultivator had a powerful soul and abundant spiritual power, he would need other means besides to fight above his level.

Still, the Mountain Sea World was vast. Qi Refinement cultivators did defeat Foundation Establishment cultivators from time to time.

But!

A Foundation Establishment cultivator defeating a Golden Core Cultivator was almost unheard of.

What people did hear were tales of someone exchanging a few moves with a Golden Core Cultivator, or someone escaping a Golden Core Immortal's grasp.

They had almost never heard of a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator killing a Golden Core Immortal above his level.

Even Luo Chen's killing of Di Wanyun a few years earlier, an example right before their eyes, carried little weight.

To outsiders, Luo Chen had merely seized an opportunity and happened to trigger a power left behind by a Spirit Transformation Great Power.

Before a power left behind by a Spirit Transformation Great Power, what did a Golden Core Immortal amount to?

The slightest brush meant death
