Chapter 178

But now, Blasting Guang Chengzi had no such thoughts in his heart.

"Indeed worthy of being Senior Brother Blasting Guang Chengzi—you managed to block my attack," Luo Fu said.

"You…" Blasting Guang Chengzi's face darkened.

Was Luo Fu mocking him?

If he couldn't even block one of Luo Fu's strikes, that would be the real joke.

Yet Blasting Guang Chengzi recalled just now—he had nearly failed to block even a single strike from the other.

"Senior Brother Luo Fu, your strength is truly formidable," Blasting Guang Chengzi steadied his emotions.

Although Luo Fu's physical body had performed exceptionally well just now, Blasting Guang Chengzi had already devised a method to counter Luo Fu.

That was to strike at Luo Fu's Primordial Spirit.

If you can make your physical body so powerful in such a short time, your soul must be the weak point.

It's impossible that within just a few years, not only your body reached such a terrifying level, but your Primordial Spirit did too.

So Blasting Guang Chengzi believed he had spotted an opportunity.

"But…" Blasting Guang Chengzi smiled lightly, "Senior Brother Luo Fu, do you know you still have a major flaw?"

"A major flaw?" Luo Fu's eyes flickered. "Senior Brother Blasting Guang Chengzi, please instruct."

"Hah…" Blasting Guang Chengzi grinned, flipping his palm to reveal an ancient bell-shaped treasure resting in his hand.

At this moment, Blasting Guang Chengzi felt victory in this battle was assured.

"Senior Brother Luo Fu, your body is strong, but your Primordial Spirit is your weakness—isn't that right?" Blasting Guang Chengzi declared loudly.

Immediately, Blasting Guang Chengzi unleashed his Jin Xian power, channeling it into the ancient bell in his palm.

The ancient bell grew larger with the wind, its surface engraved with mysterious patterns.

Merely gazing at these patterns caused one's soul to grow dazed.

This was the treasure in Blasting Guang Chengzi's hand—the Luohun Bell.

The Luohun Bell was a treasure specifically designed to target the soul and Primordial Spirit.

Once its chime rang, it would plunge the soul into confusion and slumber—a true attack against the soul.

In the Honghuang realm, most treasures were designed to attack the body; those targeting the soul were exceedingly rare.

Now Blasting Guang Chengzi held such a treasure.

For Blasting Guang Chengzi, this was fate's design.

Otherwise, he would have still been troubled by how to counter Luo Fu.

Though he possessed Late Stage Jin Xian power, Luo Fu's physical strength just now had been no less than his own.

Forcing a direct battle with him would likely leave Blasting Guang Chengzi humiliated.

"Senior Brother Luo Fu, I'm sorry," Blasting Guang Chengzi, laughing arrogantly, instantly activated the Luohun Bell in his hand.

The bell's chime echoed across heaven and earth, an invisible force surging toward Luo Fu.

Blasting Guang Chengzi had full confidence in the Luohun Bell's power.

With his strength activating the Luohun Bell, it could cause even a Late Stage Jin Xian to hesitate for an instant.

That single instant would give him a great chance to seize victory.

Not to mention, Blasting Guang Chengzi did not believe Luo Fu's Primordial Spirit could be as terrifying as his body.

His body had achieved Dao, and the combat power it unleashed was no less than that of a Late Stage Jin Xian.

Moreover, physical cultivators were inherently stronger than others at the same realm.

If given time, Luo Fu's soul's weakness would eventually be remedied.

But Blasting Guang Chengzi knew that since Luo Fu's breakthrough to Jin Xian, only a few years had passed.

In just a few years, his body had grown to this level—it was already terrifying.

It was impossible for his Primordial Spirit to grow so rapidly in such a short time.

As the Luohun Bell rang, Blasting Guang Chengzi saw Luo Fu momentarily dazed—he understood this was a perfect opportunity.

"Senior Brother Luo Fu, I'm sorry," Blasting Guang Chengzi's figure flickered, appearing instantly beside Luo Fu.

He reached out with his palm, forming a massive claw that lunged forward.

Even seeing Luo Fu dazed, Blasting Guang Chengzi did not close in for direct melee combat.

Simply put, Luo Fu's earlier strike that had blasted him away had truly frightened him.

So even with such a perfect opportunity, he dared not get too close to Luo Fu.

Otherwise,

Such a perfect chance, close-range combat, would have been the best opportunity and choice.

It could only be said that, under fear, Blasting Guang Chengzi had become extremely cautious.

Watching his power about to strike Luo Fu, Blasting Guang Chengzi smiled.

Even if Luo Fu's body was astonishing, his attack was no joke—it would still inflict some damage on Luo Fu.

But soon, Blasting Guang Chengzi's face turned to shock—what he saw exceeded his imagination.

"How is this possible?" Blasting Guang Chengzi's expression grew dazed.

He saw his attack just as it neared Luo Fu's body—Luo Fu turned around and punched straight out.

"Boom…"

His attack was instantly shattered by Luo Fu's punch.

"You weren't affected by the Luohun Bell's power," Blasting Guang Chengzi said in disbelief.

"Luohun Bell," Luo Fu shook his head. "Its power did have some effect—but on me, it was negligible."

"How is that possible?" Blasting Guang Chengzi shook his head. "You only recently broke through to Jin Xian. For your body to achieve Dao is already unthinkable—even the direct disciples of other Saints couldn't do this. But even so, the Primordial Spirit cannot grow so rapidly in a short time."

Even with a powerful physical body, nurturing the soul still requires time.

Physical cultivators, as their bodies grow strong, their souls naturally develop as well, nurtured by the body's nourishment.

In this regard, physical cultivators differ from the Ancestral Wushen.

The Ancestral Wushen possess immensely powerful bodies, their pure physical forms reaching the level of Pre-Sage, yet their souls remain slightly inferior to their bodies.

This is because their bodies, possessing the nature of Chaotic Demonic Gods, grow alongside their strength.

Unlike Luo Fu, a physical cultivator.

Each enhancement of the body requires personal cultivation.

Thus, compared to the Wu Clan, physical cultivators have virtually no flaws.

But the difficulty multiplies exponentially.
