Li Fan couldn't help but frown. Could it be that Senior Brother Zhang cannot voluntarily activate his Purple Core state?

Recalling the scene where Zhang Qianmo's physical body had been completely destroyed before reforming from the Purple Core, Li Fan speculated: Does it only activate through destruction and subsequent rebirth?

The ensuing battle seemed to confirm Li Fan's suspicions.

Zhong Shentong's multicolored divine light attacks continued relentlessly for over twenty more days.

Eventually, the energy stored within Zhang Qianmo's Purple Core was completely depleted.

This time, when Zhang Qianmo was obliterated by countless beams of light, the Purple Core did not appear.

"My humble skills are nothing impressive," the old Daoist said with a faint smile.

He made a ceremonial bow toward where his opponent's remains had vanished, then gradually faded from view.

So this is the way to resolve it... Li Fan felt somewhat speechless. He never expected that Zhang Qianmo could be worn down to death through sheer attrition.

Indeed, while in his Purple Core state, Senior Brother Zhang was nearly invincible at the Foundation Establishment realm. The solution, then, was simply to prevent him from entering that state altogether.

In hindsight, the principle seemed straightforward. But the more Li Fan thought about it, the more he realized how difficult it truly was. To keep an opponent constantly suppressed, to wound without killing, to simply exhaust his strength—accomplishing all of that in practice was far more challenging than it sounded.

In his ordinary state, Zhang Qianmo's combat power already represented the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm.
