Chapter 1019: Chapter 409 Battle of Luo Tian (End)
When Luo Chen broke free from the powerful oppression of the Golden Core and dashed towards Zheng Xian.
Under the severe, piercing wind of the Nine Heavens’ clouds,
three light exclamations sounded in succession.
They seemed not to have anticipated that a mere Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator could free himself from the spiritual pressure unique to Golden Core Cultivators.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, although challenging those of higher realms was rare, it was not unheard of.
However, such incidents usually occurred only within minor levels within the same realm.
Once the conflict involved crossing major realms, it was almost always a one-sided affair, rarely did someone manage to overcome a higher order.
Qi Refinement versus Foundation Establishment entailed a vast gap caused by the release of Spirit Consciousness and the transformation of Spirit Power into liquid.
Unless that Qi Refinement Cultivator had a strong Divine Soul and sufficiently robust Spirit Power, and even then, only with additional techniques, could they possibly challenge someone of a higher stage.
But, the vast Mountain Sea Realm occasionally saw Qi Refinements defeating Foundation Establishments.
But!
Foundation Establishment defeating Golden Core was almost unheard of.
What people often heard was about someone lasting a few moves against a Golden Core Cultivator, or someone escaping from a Golden Core Ascendant Master.
It was almost never heard that a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator could actually defeat a Golden Core Ascendant Master.
Even a few years ago, when Luo Chen killed Di Wanyun, such a clear example had little persuasive power.
To outsiders, that was merely Luo Chen taking advantage of a situation, accidentally triggering a technique left by a Divine Transformation Great Power.
In front of a technique left by a Divine Transformation Great Power, what was a Golden Core Ascendant Master worth?
Just a slight friction, and it would result in death or injury!
As for something like a Golden Core battling a Nascent Soul, or a Nascent Soul battling a Divine Transformation, that was even more preposterous!
The reason for this was that each realm underwent a transformation similar to the leap from Qi Refinement to Foundation Establishment.
Between the realms of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core, the gap was defined by the transformation of Divine Consciousness and Qi Power.
This transformation created a unique aura.
Spirit Pressure!
Divine Consciousness and Spirit Power combined to form Qi Power.
When Qi Power was wielded, it naturally suppressed the liquid Spirit Power of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, being of a higher origin.
This suppression, known worldwide as Spirit Pressure,
included absolute suppression by Spirit Power as well as suppression from the Divine Soul Endowment.
Back then on the battlefield of Accumulated Thunder Mountain,
when Luo Chen first faced Di Wanyun, he was almost powerless to fight back, let alone escape.
This was because he was unconsciously covered by Spirit Pressure.
If it were not for Chu Kui leveraging the Golden Core power he had acquired from somewhere to break Di Wanyun’s Spirit Pressure over Luo Chen, Luo Chen would not have had a chance to escape.
Qin Tairan was in his prime and at a very profound realm.
He should have easily captured Luo Chen.
Who could have thought that the latter would break free?
Even, he headed straight for Zheng Xian.
In the skies above, a look of surprise flickered through the eyes of an Elder from Ailao Mountain.
“Such a powerful physique!” he exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Elder Long next to him instantly understood what it meant.
Luo Chen had not used Spirit Power to break free from the higher Qi Power oppression, but rather he had used his physical body to overcome this suppression.
But still, something was off!
“How did he overcome the suppression of the Divine Soul? Could it be that this young man’s Divine Soul Endowment is no weaker than that of a Golden Core Cultivator?”
That was impossible!
Luo Chen’s current realm was clear to everyone.
He had only recently entered the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.
And given his young age, how strong could his Divine Soul Endowment really be?
“Could it be that he possesses a Magic Item related to the Divine Soul?” Elder Long thought to himself.
In fact!
As they had guessed,
Luo Chen indeed possessed a Magic Item related to the Divine Soul.
The Lan Ke Black and White Chess Piece!
Ever since he had struck down Di Wanyun at Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain, Luo Chen knew that he had severely offended the Flame Alliance.
It would have been better if he had died.
If he had lived, the Flame Alliance would definitely not let things rest.
Even his status as a Guest Elder of Ice Castle wouldn’t help.

Unless he stayed hidden within the Ice Castle, never venturing out,
it was only a matter of time before they came knocking on his door.
But that was impossible, for how could a man of honor live beneath others for long!
Luo Chen was not without his own support or enterprise.
Thus, after leaving the Divine Transformation Relics, he concealed his tracks and never showed his face openly.
On rare occasions when he did go out, he would disguise himself, taking on the identities of other members of the Luo Tian Creed as a cover.
He needed time!
Time to grow strong enough to face a Golden Core Ascendant Master.
And of all the techniques used by Golden Core Ascendant Masters, the most threatening to a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator was the Spirit Pressure.
Once the Golden Core Spirit Pressure was applied, lower Cultivators had almost no means to resist and were completely at their mercy.
Back then, he pondered how to face this immense threat.
Only by overcoming this hurdle could he consider how to fight.
Finally, he thought of a way.
To use his Primordial Third Order physique to break the suppression of Spirit Power,
and to use the soul-defense attribute of the Lan Ke Black Chess to shield against the Divine Consciousness oppression of a Golden Core Ascendant Master!
This idea wasn’t baseless,
He remembered.
During the battle at Trapped Sky Valley, when he fell into the doorway of the Transforming Spirit Cave Mansion, Di Wanyun took the chance to launch a Divine Consciousness attack.
But it was blocked by the black radiance emitted from his Lan Ke Black Chess.
In other words, this Magic Item could indeed be effective against the Divine Consciousness attacks of a Golden Core Ascendant Master.
Since his Foundation Establishment, he obtained this treasure from Big River Ghost City and had been diligently refining it,
even more so than the Xuanhuo Sword!
He was quite familiar with this Magic Item and even used it to protect Gu Caiyi’s Divine Soul as she entered the Ghost God Heart Inquiry Mirror to simulate Foundation Establishment.
Therefore, over the years, he had been exploring how to make the Lan Ke Black Chess confront the Golden Core Spirit Pressure.
