At this time, the Golden Core Protector must have been extremely tense and alert, fearing that some petty thieves would strike foully at the critical moment of the breakthrough. Given the long distance between them, when he unleashed his full power with the Golden Core eight-layer through a Self-Destruction Term, he could naturally kill the Protector.
But he would also die from the Divine Sense counterattack of the opponent at the moment of their death.
He had the Nine Heavens Divine Sense Array arranged by an ancestor Magic Practitioner in his Sea of Consciousness. Although it could not exert its full effects at the Foundation Establishment Stage, it could still defend against some Divine Sense Attacks. Perhaps he could escape with severe injuries, but Fat Long and the others would definitely not survive.
Therefore, the best choice was still—
"Fiery Flame Seven Killings Array Plate."
"Once the array is formed, it can execute up to a fifth-layer Golden Core Cultivator."
