Although it was difficult to slay the opponent, the increase in strength was far from insignificant.
A Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator, even when facing a Golden Elixir Great Perfection cultivator, would not be easily slain.
Even if defeated, there was a high probability of escaping with their life.
It could be said that
the gap between a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator and a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator was evident here.
If a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator, when facing other Gold Core cultivators, still had concerns about their life,
then a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator, even when facing a Golden Elixir Great Perfection cultivator, could still hold their ground in an equal discussion.
After all, even if they lacked strength and were defeated by that Golden Elixir Great Perfection cultivator,
it wouldn't cause fundamental harm.
For a Golden Elixir Great Perfection cultivator to slay a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator was still quite difficult.
