"That makes sense."
This old man was even connected to the "Abyssal Swamp," the Divine Ability ruin he currently occupied; how could he be anyone ordinary? Even if such a person suppressed his cultivation to the same level as Duan Lingtian, his inherent advantages remained. His combat experience and his martial techniques were far beyond what an average martial cultivator at the early stage of the Mid-Saint Stage could possess.
The thing Duan Lingtian was most thankful for now was that the old man before him could not simulate his Sun True Energy. He knew that the reason he had been able to crush everything in his path despite being a mere clone—relying on strength comparable to an early-stage Great Saint Stage cultivator—was entirely due to the extraordinary nature of his Sun True Energy. In terms of sheer power, his Sun True Energy at the early Mid-Saint Stage was no weaker than the ordinary True Energy of an early-stage Great Saint Stage cultivator.
