Chapter 520: Strength
The overall combat strength of Tier Five and Tier Six Legends wasn't all that different. However, Tier Six Legends were much more flexible due to their ability to sense and traverse the Astral World, allowing them to utilize it for mobility.
Li Pin replayed his virtual sparring sessions with Tier Six Legends in his mind.
Without relying on the power of Astral World Fragments, a Tier Six Legend would be able to vanish abruptly every time Li Pin was about to deliver a fatal strike. They could simply abandon the battlefield, effortlessly defusing the life-threatening situation.
Thus, even though Tier Six Legends weren't that much stronger than Li Pin, he still might not even win one out of ten encounters with experts of that level. They simply had a higher tolerance for mistakes, dozens of times higher than his.
Li Pin mused, "However, unlike Tier Five Legends or peak Demigods, dealing with Tier Six Legends is far easier for a Divine Being. The power of Astral World Fragments can disrupt their Astral World traversal."
A faint smile appeared on Li Pin's face. Without the life-saving ability of Astral World traversal, a Tier Six Legend might not even compare to a peerless genius among Tier Five Legends.
Of course, those who reached Tier Six Legend status were nothing short of geniuses. They were paragons of talent. Many even served as emissaries of Astral Gods. Through meritorious contributions, they earned rewards. Some highly favored ones even wielded Divine Weapons.
In such cases, a group of ten or more Tier Five Legends would avoid confronting a Tier Six Legend, knowing the risk of challenging one head-on.
Li Pin composed himself. "Compared to Tier Six Legends, Divine Beings are far harder to deal with."
Each Divine Being was someone who had refined a celestial body spanning tens of thousands of kilometers.
Over the years, Li Pin had invested more than one million Divine Treasury Points into himself, excluding techniques, experiences, and insights dedicated to perfecting the path of omniscience and omnipotence. Yet, even with such resources, the scale of his Natal Planet was still several magnitudes smaller than that of a Divine Being.
