"Zzt!"
Demon Sovereign Hei Qi, who had been charging close behind, suddenly screeched to a halt. His heels ground against the earth, gouging two trenches more than ten meters long.
"W-What... how is this possible...?"
Hei Qi stared at Sara, who had charged forward at terrifying speed only to be shot down even faster, crashing to the ground. His face was filled with disbelief.
Sara was a High-Rank Legend at the same level as him!
Although a High-Rank Legend's strength, speed, and physique had not increased significantly compared to those of an ordinary Legend, they had condensed their own Willpower Core. Not only did this greatly increase their resistance to Spirit Refinement Techniques, but their spirit, body, and mind had also merged into one, allowing them to control and utilize their own strength almost as easily as moving their thoughts.
If the unity of divine energy and spirit merely allowed a cultivator to command their strength as easily as an arm, then once a Willpower Core was formed, their strength had practically become an extension of their thoughts. The faster their thoughts, the faster their power could transform and erupt.
This was the greatest difference between a High-Rank Legend and an ordinary Legend.
It was also the fundamental reason a High-Rank Legend could fight three, or even four, ordinary Legends who had not mastered a Battle Formation by themselves.

Baili Qingfeng's sword qi was so fast that it had exceeded the limits of Sara's reaction speed!
"Wh-What kind of sword art is this!?"
Demon Sovereign Hei Qi's face turned deathly
