Chapter 848: Divine Vow Empowered, Golden Body Immortal! Sword Shatters Golden Lotus!

In terms of magic power, after absorbing countless chaotic currents, Zhao's available magic power far exceeded that of a typical Pretender Saint, and though still distant from a Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian, the gap was no longer great.

Most importantly, Saint Jieyin had not invoked the power of the Dao of Heaven.

Without invoking the power of the Dao of Heaven, a Saint is no match for a Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian.

For in their comprehension of the Great Dao, Saints have not broken through to the Hunyuan layer.

Without invoking the power of the Dao of Heaven, a Saint is merely a Pretender Saint with boundless magic power.

Merely a Pretender Saint, even with boundless magic power, cannot withstand a single blow from a Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian.

At the Hunyuan layer, realm far outweighs magic power.

After forcibly pushing the Dao of the Sword to the Hunyuan layer, Luo Fu's condition was precisely the opposite of Saint Jieyin's: he possessed the realm of a Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian, yet his magic power fell short of that of a Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian.

Even though his magic power could not match the Saint's, the gap in realm still allowed Luo Fu to overshadow Saint Jieyin.

Most importantly, the Dao of the Sword is among the most lethal of all Daos, and against Saint Jieyin's defense, it was like a needlepoint against a grain of wheat.

When Daos mutually counter each other, even a slight realm advantage can overpower the opponent—how much more so when Luo Fu and Saint Jieyin differed by a major realm?

And it was the gap between the realm below Hunyuan and the Hunyuan realm itself.
