Although Gu Wenshan has recently broken through to the Essence Pill Realm and his realm has not yet fully stabilized, he is still a genuine Essence Pill Realm existence, far beyond the strength of the average Meridian Passage Realm.
Generally speaking, once a martial cultivator condenses the Essence Pill, the True Essence within their body becomes extremely viscous, not quite liquid but very close to it.
It can be said that the gap in strength between the Meridian Passage Realm and the Essence Pill Realm is extremely vast, almost impossible to bridge.
For this reason, in everyone's view, even if Wang Ruoye doesn't die facing this palm from Gu Wenshan, he will certainly be seriously injured.
Even if Gu Wenshan refrains from landing a fatal blow due to the other's status as a top-tier fifth-grade alchemy master, it's feared that fellow would suffer greatly.
