This was trouble!
A Foundation Establishment demon beast—and one with dragon blood to boot. This was no good thing.
Foundation Establishment alone put Li Su at a disadvantage. Though he could rival Foundation Establishment cultivators, that was fundamentally just an effect of his powerful physique; he himself was not truly at the Foundation Establishment realm.
Against demonic cultivators, this situation was still manageable.
But against demon beasts—or righteous-path cultivators—it was another matter entirely.
At its root, demonic cultivation was the product of a shortcut. Though their realms might be high, their lower foundations were actually poor and exceedingly fragile.
They looked incomparably formidable, but in truth, once they failed to suppress their opponent, every step became difficult.
Righteous-path cultivators cultivated both techniques and spells, and for most of them, their techniques surpassed their spells.
This resulted in robust foundations, with no link in the chain being particularly weak.
Demon beasts were actually much the same as righteous-path cultivators.
Though they did not cultivate, they continuously accumulated power through spiritual energy's nourishment, until their lives underwent ascension.
They were somewhat like Li Su. Their strength lay in their fleshly bodies, and it was the same kind of strength possessed by righteous-path cultivators—a foundation incomparably solid.
Under such circumstances, the advantage and suddenness brought by Li Su's peerless physique would be greatly diminished.
After all, cultivators—no matter how strong—had frail bodies as their weakness. Once carelessly drawn into close quarters, if their defenses were inadequate, they could easily be beaten to death on the spot.
He was already at a major disadvantage to begin with.
And the demon beast that had come even had dragon blood in it.
One had to know, even if an utterly ordinary horse gained dragon blood, scales would immediately grow over its body, its teeth would sharpen
