For cultivators, what kind of technique could be considered the most powerful move?
A bombardment of spells?
The sharpness of Magic Treasures?
Or perhaps an unpredictable soul attack that was impossible to guard against?

The strongest, most fearsome move was "self-detonation," something even cultivators themselves could not control, capable of devastating dozens of miles or even shocking a hundred miles!
Yes, self-detonation!
Especially for Golden Core Cultivators who had condensed Golden Cores. Once they actively shattered their Golden Cores, the attack unleashed would be a terrifying, indiscriminate bombardment.

It represented the essence gathered through painstaking cultivation day and night.
