The current Pang Hong can stand alongside the opponent not only because of his own realm and combat power but also because of his master's influence.
When the opponent certified as a True Immortal, Pang Hong was still trapped in the Strongest Realm, searching for the opportunity to certify as a Tao-Certifying True Immortal.
Originally, he believed that over the years, he had already stepped into the Sixth Heaven of the True Immortal Realm, touched the threshold of Taoist Monarch, and felt he could be on par with Bai Qicang, who was reputedly the number one under the True Immortal in the past but now the number one under the Taoist Monarch. However, the opponent's move at this moment made Pang Hong absolutely feel this might not be the case.
Whether this person has not certified as a Taoist Monarch because of lacking the capability or due to other reasons requiring him not to certify at this moment is uncertain.
