Chapter 170

When the Demon God Jiuying felt a shadow cast over his heart, accompanied by a sliver of fear and dread, he unleashed a true, full-power strike—an attack sufficient to threaten even a Da Luo Golden Immortal.

The physical strength this human had just displayed made the Demon God Jiuying take him slightly more seriously, and he did not wish to drag this out any longer.

If the time dragged on and an Ancestral Witch arrived, it would be far too dangerous for him; only by returning to the Heavenly Court as quickly as possible could the Demon God Jiuying regain a sense of security.

Jiuying could never have guessed that this sense of crisis was brought upon him by the human before his eyes.

It was not just that Jiuying could not have imagined it; even if any other powerhouse of the Primordial World encountered this situation, they would never have imagined it either.

This was because for a Taiyi Golden Immortal to kill a top-tier Da Luo Golden Immortal was a feat that was almost impossible to achieve.

Between a Da Luo and a Taiyi, there lay a massive gap—a gap so wide that even those innate sacred beings of the past would likely have found such a feat difficult to accomplish.

So, there was even less need to mention a mere human.

In the current Primordial World, the human race was not considered an outstanding race; one could only say that humans were a special race, after all, they had been created personally by a Saint.

But in terms of strength, not to mention comparing them to the Wu or Demon races, they could not even be compared to some other lower-tier races in the Primordial World.

Therefore, how could a powerhouse born from such a race fight across realms against Jiuying, who was a Demon God?

This was also the thought in the mind of the Ancestral Witch Houtu, who was hiding not far away.

That was correct.

Not long ago, when Luo Fu was battling the Demon God Jiuying, the Ancestral Witch Houtu had already appeared on this battlefield.

However, watching the battle between Luo Fu and Jiuying, coupled with the strength Luo Fu displayed in his physical body, had sparked a sliver of interest in the heart of the Wu Clan's Houtu.

It was precisely this interest that kept the Ancestral Witch Houtu from immediately attacking the Demon God Jiuying, choosing instead to hide on the sidelines and watch the battle between the two.

Houtu was also extremely astonished that Luo Fu, being a human, possessed such a terrifying physical body.

This was because the Ancestral Witch Houtu had a slight understanding of the situation regarding the human race.

It could even be said that the current human race and their Wu Clan had actually intermingled to a certain extent; this union had given birth to bloodlines between humans and the Wu Clan.

Such a union might not compare to the strength of a pure Wu, but it was still much more powerful than an ordinary human; coupled with the human race's powerful reproductive ability, these human-Wu hybrids held a certain proportion in this Primordial World.

Of course, this proportion was still not large.

If it were in later generations, these human-Wu hybrids would have competed with the human race for the status of the protagonists of heaven and earth.

That was the confrontation between the Human Emperor Xuanyuan and Chi You.

Without a doubt, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan was a human through and through, while his opponent, the one who fought the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, was a human-Wu hybrid—that was none other than Chi You.

If Chi You had won, the Wu Clan might truly have regained a significant status and position on the Primordial land.

Unfortunately, the human-Wu hybrids in history failed.

Of course, none of this had happened yet, and even if the powerhouses born from human-Wu hybrids were more numerous than pure Wu, for Ancestral Witches like Houtu, they did not place too much importance on them.

To them, strength was the foundation; generally speaking, the stronger the Wu bloodline, the greater the chance of becoming a powerhouse.

For the Wu Clan, quantity was not the key at present; quality was.

As for those with human-Wu bloodlines, the probability of them becoming powerhouses was also not high.

The Wu Clan is now one of the hegemons of the Primordial world, so Houtu only felt a passing interest in the human-Wu bloodline.

At the very least, it made Houtu aware of the human race as a species.

As a race created by the Saint Nüwa, it indeed possesses a certain uniqueness.

But Houtu also understood one thing: among all the myriad spirits of the Primordial world, the human body is truly nothing to speak of, even for those humans born of powerful bloodlines.

In the beginning, they are merely ordinary humans.

This is unlike other myriad spirits, where the stronger the bloodline, the more powerful the offspring born under certain conditions will be.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the human race's reproductive capacity in this world has greatly increased.

The myriad spirits of the Primordial world do not yet know that reproductive capacity is only one of the human race's characteristics; the wisdom and creative ability that the human race will display in the future are the true reasons for their status as the protagonists of heaven and earth.

It is just that they have not yet become the protagonists of heaven and earth, and coupled with the struggle for hegemony between the Wu and Demon clans in the Primordial world, these characteristics of the human race have been completely obscured.

"I didn't expect a mere human to possess such a terrifying physique." Houtu's beautiful eyes radiated light. "Could it be that the other party is..."

At this moment, the Ancestral Witch Houtu thought of someone.

This was a human who had gained a certain level of fame a hundred years ago.

That was the human Luo Fu, who had been taken in as a personal disciple by the Sect Master Tongtian.

The human Luo Fu—this name could be considered to have left a mark among the many Ancestral Witches.

After all, among the disciples of the Saints, those taken in by the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect were all creatures of top-tier aptitude, even the human Xuandu taken in by the Ren Sect.

In the eyes of those Quasi-Saint powerhouses of the Primordial world, that was merely a case of the other party having good luck and being favored by the Ren Sect's leader, the Saint Taishang.

After all, the human Xuandu had not undergone any trials.

But Luo Fu was different. Originally, this human was just an ordinary Jie Sect disciple, but later, the performance he displayed led to him being directly favored by the Sect Master Tongtian; this was an extremely inconceivable matter.

Looking across all the disciples of the Saints, such a thing had never happened before.

Of course, this matter was not the only thing that made Luo Fu fully familiar to the many powerhouses of the Primordial world.

In just a few years, during the competition between the three sects, this newly promoted personal disciple of the Jie Sect had directly defeated the personal disciples of the Chan Sect as well as those of his own Jie Sect.

Those were not ordinary disciples, but rather figures like Guang Chengzi, the head of the Twelve Golden Immortals, and the Daoist Duobao, the first disciple of the Jie Sect, and so on.

Coupled with the astonishing request Luo Fu made—to listen to the three Saints preach.

These various events made the name Luo Fu truly resound in the ears of those powerhouses in the Primordial world; at the very least, figures like the Ancestral Witch Houtu had a certain impression of this name in their minds.

Of course, as to why that human Luo Fu was so strong, many Primordial creatures had different opinions; some said this was a manifestation of the human Luo Fu overdrawing his own potential.

He looks strong now, but as time passes, the human Luo Fu, having no future, will only be obliterated in the long river of time.

It is not impossible that he will eventually be directly expelled from the ranks of personal disciples by the Sect Master Tongtian.

Some said that this human had obtained some top-tier innate spiritual root fruits, which allowed Luo Fu's strength to have an astonishing breakthrough in a short period.

In the Primordial world, such heavenly treasures occasionally appear among the people; for example, the fruits of certain top-tier spiritual roots, if consumed, even give one a chance to become a Da Luo Golden Immortal powerhouse.

Primordial creatures speculated that the human might have swallowed such a fruit.

But this situation is similar to overdrawing oneself in advance; although strength grows rapidly, one has not spent much time tempering oneself at each realm.

In the future, it is almost impossible for this personal disciple of a Saint to break through to a more powerful realm.

In any case, at the very least, Primordial creatures would not believe that Luo Fu's growth came step by step through his own efforts.

Perhaps only some of the Saints' personal disciples, as well as the Three Pure Ones themselves, knew that Luo Fu had not consumed any heavenly treasures at all.

The depth of Luo Fu's foundation is something the Three Pure Ones had never seen before.

They cannot compare to Luo Fu; even their teacher, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, cannot.

This was the clear perception of the Three Pure Ones.

Where can Luo Fu ultimately go?

The Three Pure Ones now have a similar understanding: the Hunyuan Da Luo realm, and specifically, independently proving the Dao of Hunyuan Da Luo—this is the expectation in the hearts of the Three Pure Ones.

Of course, the outside world knows nothing of these various matters.

The Ancestral Witch Houtu, who was hiding on the side, naturally did not know either.

"Is the other party that human Luo Fu? The newly promoted personal disciple taken in by the Saint Sect Master Tongtian in the past?" Houtu said softly.

Of course, because of the concealment of her Quasi-Saint power, Houtu did not think that what she said would be heard by Luo Fu and the Demon God Jiuying in the field.

"Human Luo Fu." Houtu's eyes flickered with light, and traces of the power of the Great Dao permeated her pupils; he could see that the foundation of Luo Fu's physique was terrifying beyond measure.

Just by looking, Houtu felt as if she saw countless Great Daos circling Luo Fu; Luo Fu seemed to be the center of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

He was like a Great Dao furnace, smelting the power of many Great Daos.

For Ancestral Witches like them, the growth of their physiques relies more on the effect of their bloodlines, and the Great Dao power they possess is also stimulated through bloodline cultivation.

It is precisely because of this that for the Wu Clan to break through to Quasi-Saint, it requires a leap and improvement in their bloodline; this kind of improvement is very difficult for the Wu Clan.

At the very least, among the current Wu Clan, the only Wu Clan members who are Quasi-Saint powerhouses are the Twelve Ancestral Witches who were initially transformed from Pangu's essence blood.

As for new Quasi-Saint powerhouses, there are none in the Wu Clan; no one has broken through to become a new Ancestral Witch.

It can only be said that making one's own bloodline leap is simply too difficult.

Those Wu Clan members already have such great difficulty relying on the power of their bloodlines.

Then, for someone like Luo Fu who smelts many laws, it looks even more terrifying.

"Proving the Dao through the physical body, and it is not an ordinary physical body proving the Dao." Houtu's eyes flashed with brilliance; perhaps this human Luo Fu's physical body was still at the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

But the many laws contained within his physical body...

If you were to say he is a physical body cultivator at the Da Luo Golden Immortal level, I am afraid even that could not reach this degree.

That is a difference in essence.

After all, even Houtu, as an Ancestral Witch, could not reach the level of Luo Fu.

To reach this level, how astonishing must his physical talent be? At the very least, it is probably more shocking than those of them who are Ancestral Witches.

Is this something a human can achieve?

At this moment, Houtu's heart carried an inexplicable expectation.

Can Luo Fu, at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, defeat this Demon God Jiuying before him?

On the other side.

Facing the power level of a top-tier Da Luo Golden Immortal erupted by the Demon God Jiuying, Luo Fu did not retreat; the Great Dao runes on his body emerged and scattered like heavenly flowers.

Eternal Chaos Body.

Incomparably terrifying Great Dao laws were smelted into Luo Fu's body.

"Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist..."

Looking at the blood-red beam of light before him, Luo Fu's body did not retreat but advanced instead; furthermore, without relying on any magic treasure, he directly threw a punch, blasting into that attack which was sufficient to easily kill a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

"Boom..."

The two forces collided, and an earth-shattering sound resounded across this heaven and earth.

What left the Demon God Jiuying dumbfounded was that he discovered that under the collision of the two forces, the Da Luo power he had erupted was actually being slowly defeated and dissipated.

From this, it could be shown that the human had just used absolute power to directly blast apart his attack.

And it was an attack using the power of the physical body.

But how could this be possible?

"Could it be that you are a top-tier Wu Clan member in disguise?" The Demon God Jiuying looked at Luo Fu in the state of physical body proving the Dao and could not help but say these words.

Such terrifying physical power could only be possessed by those top-tier Wu Clan members, right?

"I am not a top-tier Wu Clan member; just as you said before, I am a genuine human." Luo Fu grinned. "Since your attack has already been unleashed, it is now my turn to attack you."

Hearing this, the Demon God Jiuying felt a chill in his heart.

The fact that his full-force attack just now was blocked by Luo Fu left the Demon God Jiuying feeling shocked beyond measure.

Is this still a human?

Was his decision today correct?

At this moment, the Demon God Jiuying could not help but feel an inexplicable desire to retreat.

At this time, this high-ranking Demon God no longer had any thoughts of coveting the top-tier spiritual root in Luo Fu's hand.

"Demon God Jiuying, could it be that you are afraid?" Luo Fu looked at that massive body of several thousand zhang and said slowly.

Although the Demon God Jiuying controlled his changes well, his inner heart seemed to have been completely pierced through by Luo Fu at this moment.

And these words also caused that trace of desire to retreat in the Demon God Jiuying's heart to vanish instantly.

This human was too arrogant.

Just now, it only proved that the other party's move had erupted with Da Luo power.

Perhaps this human only had the strength for one strike.

It was also that human's final strength.
