Chapter 453: I Am the Lord of the Underground Path! I

"Sister Houtu, who do you think will win—the Luo Fu Daoist or Saint Zhunti?"

The Ancestor Minghe recalled the earlier incident where Luo Fu had challenged Saint Zhunti, and even now he could not fully shake off his shock.

After Nüwa created humanity, the Three Pure Ones and the Two Western Saints established their sects and became Saints.

The Heavenly Dao Saints stood at the pinnacle of the Primordial World's pyramid.

Only the top-tier Peerless Saints might barely sense just how terrifying a Saint truly was.

The gap between Great Lo and Peerless Saint in the past paled in comparison to the chasm between Peerless Saint and Saint.

This, the Ancestor Minghe—as a top-tier Peerless Saint—understood clearly.

The high echelons of the Witches and Demons clans understood even better.

The Witches and Demons clans, who possessed the Great Star Array and the Twelve Heavenly Spirit Wrath Array, knew full well how powerful a Hunyuan Great Lo truly was.

Thus, the high echelons of the Witches and Demons would never lightly clash with a Heavenly Dao Saint.

Naturally, this was also because the Heavenly Dao Saints had not interfered in the Primordial World.

If the Heavenly Dao Saints had intervened in the Primordial World, the Witches and Demons clans might well have fought them anyway.

The two clans might even have allied.

After all, the pressure a Heavenly Dao Saint exerted upon the Witches and Demons clans was simply too immense.

No matter how many Peerless Saints faced a Saint, they would likely be extremely fragile, easily slaughtered by a Heavenly Dao Saint.

Yet for the Heavenly Dao Saints, the Primordial World was currently in the Era of Kalpa Tribulation.

They would not interfere.

With the Era of Kalpa Tribulation approaching, their entering the fray might not affect them as Saints.

But the sects they founded would suffer greatly.

Know this: the sects established by Saints were their very foundation.

They were the very grounds upon which they had cultivated to become Saints.

Moreover, intervening in the Era of Kalpa Tribulation now offered no benefit to the Saints—why would they do it?

After the Era of Kalpa Tribulation ends,

they too may intervene in this Primordial World.

In this regard,

the Saints had truly achieved an extreme.

After the Era of Kalpa Tribulation, the Age of Saint Rule truly arrived.

The Saints reigned supreme, while their disciples walked among mortals.

Humanity, the chosen race of Heaven and Earth, ultimately submitted to Saint Rule.

This was nearly the ultimate expression of Saintly power.

During the Era of Witches and Demons, the Saints did not interfere—partly due to the Era of Kalpa Tribulation, and partly because the Witches and Demons clans possessed the strength to resist them.

Thus, during this Era of Kalpa Tribulation, the Saints did not truly intervene.

Let us set that aside for now.

Hearing the Ancestor Minghe's question, Sister Houtu's beautiful eyes glimmered with something unusual.

"Ancestor Minghe, I believe Luo Fu Daoist will emerge victorious," Sister Houtu said with quiet resolve.

"This…?" The Ancestor Minghe glanced at Sister Houtu in surprise. "Sister Houtu, though Luo Fu Daoist has shown extraordinary power—and creating the Six Realms of Reincarnation was unprecedented—if he had just now used merit and fortune to become a Saint, even as a novice, I would still think he might defeat the Western Saint."

"But Luo Fu has poured vast amounts of merit and fortune into refining the Chaotic Supreme Treasure—his own strength has barely increased."

"Even so, do you still believe Luo Fu Daoist can defeat a Saint?"

"Of course," Sister Houtu's gaze held an odd light.

"Sister Houtu, is it because you believe Luo Fu Daoist is the reincarnation of Pangu the Great God?" asked the Ancestor Minghe.

The notion that the Ancestral Witches regarded Luo Fu as Pangu's reincarnation had reached the ears of many top-tier Primordial World powerhouses through indirect channels.

The top-tier powerhouses remained noncommittal.

Some thought it possible.

Others thought it impossible.

Though the Ancestor Minghe was awed by Luo Fu's power and his ability to awaken Pangu's bloodline as just now, he still did not believe Luo Fu was Pangu's reincarnation.

Could Pangu, who had forged the Primordial World and transformed into all things, truly reincarnate as a human?

These were some of the Ancestor Minghe's own thoughts.

Thus, the Ancestor Minghe did not believe Luo Fu was Pangu's reincarnation.

As for Luo Fu's current strength, it was likely due to his astonishing talent.

Yet the Ancestral Witches, in certain ways, were stubborn.

Once they decided something, they would never change their minds.

Perhaps Sister Houtu thought the same.

"Pangu, the Father God's reincarnation?" Sister Houtu's eyes glowed strangely. "Ancestor Minghe, Luo Fu Daoist's future may be even more astonishing than we imagine—not merely because he might be the Father God's reincarnation."

"Hmm…" The Ancestor Minghe's eyes held confusion.

He could not fully grasp what Sister Houtu meant.

Wasn't Pangu's reincarnation enough to make Luo Fu's future astonishing?

Shaking his head, the Ancestor Minghe let the matter go. After all, the creation of the Six Realms of Reincarnation had brought him some gains.

As for the battle between Luo Fu and Saint Zhunti, he could not witness it.

Thus, the Ancestor Minghe could only wait alongside Sister Houtu—for the battle's end, and for Luo Fu's return to the Six Realms of Reincarnation.

In the Chaotic Void.

Several figures stood here.

The Three Pure Ones, the Two Western Saints, and Luo Fu.

It could be said that Luo Fu, as a Luo Jinxian, was rather out of place in the Chaos World.

One must understand that within the Primordial Chaos, due to the various violent energies, even a Quasi-Saint powerhouse would find it extremely difficult to live in this realm.

Needless to say for a Great Luo Golden Immortal powerhouse.

Generally, if a Great Luo Golden Immortal stayed here for too long, they might even be eroded by the power of the Chaotic World and end up harmed.

However, although Luo Fu was a Great Luo, the Grand Dao runes emanating from his body easily dispersed the surrounding Chaotic Grand Dao forces.

Moreover, looking at Luo Fu's demeanor, he handled it with complete ease.

This caused a flash of satisfaction in the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Master.

Because from Luo Fu's current utilization of the Grand Dao, even this Saint was amazed.

This was sufficient to demonstrate Luo Fu's achievements on the Grand Dao.

"Junior Nephew, are you ready?" Zhunti gripped the Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree, his gaze coldly fixed on Luo Fu.

Luo Fu's earlier remark about wanting to teach him a lesson had caused the fury in Zhunti's heart to surge.

Even Buddhas have anger.

Needless to say for Zhunti, who currently still belonged to the Western Sect.

"Uncle-Master Zhunti, I am ready." Luo Fu clenched his right hand, and a longsword materialized in his grasp—it was the Immortal-Slaying Sword, one of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.

"Very well." Zhunti, furious to the point of laughter, said, "Then, Junior Nephew, this Uncle-Master shall properly instruct you."

As soon as his words fell.
