Chapter 454

Before Zhunti, a green spiritual treasure appeared before him, shaped like a bamboo, emitting an inexplicable fluctuation.

Immediately, Zhunti swept his left hand, and the bamboo shot toward Luo Fu in an instant.

When the green light of the bamboo swept over him, Luo Fu felt his six senses stripped away in an instant.

He could perceive nothing of the surrounding existence.

Even the Saints nearby—Saint Tongtian, Master Yuanshi—seemed to vanish from this realm.

Consciousness, sound, the six senses, the soul—all seemed to freeze.

This was absolute silence and darkness.

Compared to this, any so-called "black room" was utterly insignificant.

If a mortal were trapped in this state, their soul would likely twist and collapse outright.

Even an ordinary cultivator could not endure this environment for long.

Of course, Luo Fu, a Great Luo Jinxian, though his six senses were sealed by Zhunti's attack, would never suffer soul collapse or similar outcomes.

The soul of a Great Luo Jinxian had been tempered to an astonishing degree.

And Luo Fu, who possessed Dao-level comprehension, was even more so.

"Six Roots Pure Bamboo," Luo Fu thought, naming the object as his senses were sealed.

This was one of Zhunti's top-tier spiritual treasures.

It was said to have been forged from the Primordial World's supreme spiritual root—the bitter bamboo.

Even a Heaven Dao Saint of equal rank would be momentarily stunned if struck by Zhunti's Six Roots Pure Bamboo.

For a Saint,

even a fleeting moment of distraction carried grave danger.

In battles between Saints, one misstep could lead to suppression—especially when the gap between opponents was not vast.

"Sealing the six senses of sentient beings—this is a rare treasure even in the Primordial World."

"For other Primordial World beings, escaping such sensory sealing would be extremely difficult—but for me, it is effortless."

Luo Fu's eyes glowed as he swung his Zhuxian Sword downward toward a specific point.

"Clang…"

The sound of weapon collision echoed through the chaos.

At that moment, Luo Fu's gaze returned to calm—he saw Zhunti's faintly surprised expression in the distance.

Before Luo Fu, the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, radiating seven-colored light, was locked against his Zhuxian Sword.

"Boom…"

Luo Fu felt an immensely terrifying force surge toward him; even his Zhuxian Sword seemed on the verge of being sheared off by the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree's divine radiance.

Immediately, Luo Fu was blasted away as a streak of light.

"Cousin Luo Fu, I never expected you could escape the Six Roots Pure Bamboo's sealing—truly impressive," Zhunti said, watching Luo Fu flung away.

Zhunti was genuinely startled by Luo Fu's earlier display.

Whether escaping the Six Roots Pure Bamboo's power or blocking his Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree's strike, none of this could be achieved by a mere Great Luo Jinxian.

Even a Pre-Saint would struggle.

The gap between a Saint and a non-Saint was truly immense.

Though Zhunti had not unleashed his full power, the strength he displayed had reached the level of Hunyuan Great Luo.

To resist it,

one would need at least another Heaven Dao Saint.

But clearly, Luo Fu's strength realm had not reached Hunyuan Great Luo—something Zhunti could see at a glance.

It was precisely because of this that Luo Fu's talent as a disciple of Tongtian was so astonishing.

What Zhunti regretted was that such a gifted being was not a disciple of Menxifang Sect.

Yet Zhunti understood this was already a settled fact—there was nothing to be done.

For Zhunti now, the most important thing was to properly teach Luo Fu a lesson.

To make Luo Fu understand what true power meant.

As for killing Luo Fu, Zhunti had never considered it.

After all, Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian were all watching closely.

This left Zhunti no opportunity to strike.

With such proximity, the Three Pure Ones, as Saints, reacted with extreme speed.

Not to mention, the Two Western Saints had no desire yet to break ties with the Three Pure Ones.

Killing Luo Fu

would be a true and irrevocable rupture.

At that point, the two sides would be locked in a feud to the death.

Menxifang Sect had not yet risen—Zhunti and his allies had no wish to provoke such formidable enemies.

"Uncle Zhunti's power is indeed impressive," Luo Fu said, steadying his body and gazing steadily at Saint Zhunti. "It seems I'll need to employ some methods to engage you in battle."

"Oh…" Zhunti regarded Luo Fu with keen interest. "Cousin, now I'm very curious—what methods do you intend to use? Or will you again rely on Pangu's bloodline, as you did just now?"

Pangu's bloodline.

Luo Fu had used it when he opened the Six Realms of Reincarnation.

It had indeed allowed his strength to barely reach the Hunyuan Great Luo level.

Zhunti could confirm this well.

Just as the Wu and Yao clans could, through special means, elevate their strength to this level.

Although it might trouble Zhunti, that's all it would amount to.

"Pangu's bloodline," Luo Fu chuckled, shaking his head. "Uncle Zhunti, I'm not using Pangu's bloodline this time."

These words made Zhunti's eyes widen in shock—if Luo Fu wasn't using Pangu's Blood Sea, how could he possibly oppose a Saint?

"Then, Uncle, you'd better hold on," Luo Fu said, his eyes blazing brilliantly; on his body, symbols of countless Dao principles rapidly spread outward.

"Six Paths of Reincarnation, Master of the Earth Dao."

"Boom…"

The Six Paths of Reincarnation erupted with unparalleled power.

In the Primordial World, a pillar of light piercing heaven and earth shot forth from the world's core—and in an instant, it descended upon Luo Fu.

Luo Fu's aura surged upward in relentless waves.

Luo Fu was leveraging the authority to establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation, fusing himself with the power of the Six Paths.

This allowed his strength to leap directly to the level of Hunyuan Great Luo, and even among Hunyuan Great Luo, he became one of the foremost.

You know what I mean.

Originally, when Houtu transformed herself into the cycle, becoming Master of the Six Paths, her strength also reached Hunyuan Great Luo.

But this Hunyuan Great Luo power could only be confined within the Underworld and the cycle.

If in the outside world, Houtu could not manifest Hunyuan Great Luo power.

Precisely because of this.

Historically, Houtu was constantly oppressed, and the entire Underworld was carved up by other Saints.

Houtu could never hope to claim the Underworld alone.

She lacked the strength to oppose several Saints.

It was like Nüwa, who created humanity.

Know this: humanity was destined to become the central force of heaven and earth; the merit, fortune, and destiny upon which several Saints based their footholds mostly came from humanity.

After all, the golden age of the Three Teachings was precisely when humanity became the central force of heaven and earth.

As for now,

On the Primordial World, people certainly knew of the sects established by the Three Pure Ones, but as for their overall doctrines, they had not spread widely across the Primordial World.

But Luo Fu was different.

One could say that the Six Paths of Reincarnation Luo Fu established were not only stronger than Houtu's, but also far more complete.

He did not transform himself into heaven and earth; his true spirit was not bound within the Six Paths of Reincarnation as Houtu's was.

It could be said that.

Historically, Houtu survived because her true spirit was anchored within the Earth Dao.

This situation was similar to that of the Heavenly Dao Saints.
