Chapter 547

The only thing that could be confirmed was that Pangu's physical strength was certainly far stronger than his.

Generally speaking, the physical strength of chaotic gods and demons couldn't match Luo Fu's.

How could this burly giant possibly shake him?

Boom!

The meat palm collided with the giant axe.

A silent impact rang out.

The giant axe, shaped like a small mountain, was effortlessly caught by Luo Fu's right palm.

The force contained within the giant axe was enough to shatter mountains and split the earth, yet when it struck Luo Fu's right hand, it felt as light as a feather, producing no disturbance whatsoever.

No matter how hard the burly giant strained, Luo Fu's right palm remained utterly motionless, steadily holding and absorbing the giant axe in the giant's grip.

"Still going?"

Luo Fu gazed at the hundred-zhang-tall burly giant and asked calmly.

His tone showed no fluctuation, as if catching the giant's axe with one hand was a trivial matter.

In fact, to Luo Fu, it truly was a trivial matter.

The burly giant's attack, though seemingly terrifying, was merely equivalent to the peak of Great Luo.

Given the current stability of the Three Realms' space, once power reached the Quasi-Saint layer, one could effortlessly tear through space.

Gai Jiuyou's Underworld was part of the Three Realms, and of course no exception.

Quasi-Saints wishing to fight must travel to the Outer Heavens.

Allowing Quasi-Saints to freely unleash their power within the Three Realms would cause immense destruction.

Being equivalent to Great Luo peak didn't mean the burly giant was merely Great Luo.

When the burly giant first appeared, Luo Fu had already seen through him completely.

This unknown burly giant before him was, in fact, a Quasi-Saint peak cultivator.

Yes, Quasi-Saint peak.

Luo Fu hadn't expected that Quasi-Saint peak Wu clansmen still existed in the current Three Realms.

Quasi-Saint peak wasn't an ordinary cultivator.

Even the Ancestral Wus in Luo Fu's world hadn't broken through to Quasi-Saint peak.

The Ancestral Wus were born from Pangu's essence blood, each with exceptional talent and power consistently among the strongest in the Primordial World.

Otherwise, the Wu clan could never have dominated the Primordial World and stood against the demon race.

In the Primordial World, power belonged to the individual; the strongest member of a clan was its foundation.

Yet the Ancestral Wus' advancement was limited to below Quasi-Saint.

After reaching Quasi-Saint, the Wu clan's weaknesses began to surface.

Unlike the myriad beings of the Primordial World, the Wu clan were formed from Pangu's essence blood mixed with the turbid qi of the earth; thus, they cultivated only the physical body, not the Primordial Spirit.

Cultivating only the physical body granted them greater combat power than ordinary peers of the same level, but consumed vast amounts of spiritual energy and resources.

Not cultivating the Primordial Spirit hindered their comprehension of the Dao.

The Dao was the operation of Heaven's Dao and the laws of creation; to comprehend it, one must merge with the Dao and emulate nature.

The Wu clan cultivated only the physical body, their minds filled entirely with muscle; expecting them to comprehend the subtleties of the Dao was exceedingly difficult.

Even though the Ancestral Wus were born from Pangu's essence blood and naturally possessed one Dao, their understanding of the Dao couldn't match that of Xuan Sect true cultivators who cultivated the Primordial Spirit.

In fact, before the Ancestor Hongjun preached in the Purple Cloud Palace, this weakness of the Wu clan had less impact.

During that era, the Primordial World was overflowing with spiritual energy, and spiritual objects were everywhere; nearly all myriad beings primarily cultivated the physical body.

Only after the Ancestor Hongjun preached in the Purple Cloud Palace about the wonders of the Primordial Spirit did the myriad beings of the Primordial World begin to value Primordial Spirit cultivation.

But the Wu clan couldn't cultivate the Primordial Spirit; even knowing its importance was useless.

Besides not cultivating the Primordial Spirit and struggling to comprehend the Dao's subtleties, there was another reason why Wu clan Quasi-Saints found cultivation so difficult.

This reason was also tied to Ancestor Hongjun.

That was severing the Three Corpses.

True Xuan cultivators at the Quasi-Saint layer could choose to sever the Three Corpses to aid their comprehension of the Dao.

Severing the Three Corpses was a Famen created by Ancestor Hongjun, suited for Xuan Sect true cultivators who walked the path of comprehending the Dao.

The Wu clan had no Primordial Spirit, so they could not sever the Three Corpses.

In fact, the Wu clan and Ancestor Hongjun had never walked the same path.

Ancestor Hongjun walked the path of comprehending the Dao and merging with it.

The Wu clan walked the path of Pangu's proof through brute force.

Proof through brute force demanded extremely high foundational accumulation.

In ancient Primordial times, spiritual energy was abundant; with the bloodline foundation of the Twelve Ancestral Wus, breaking through to Quasi-Saint peak wasn't difficult—only requiring more time to accumulate.

The Ancestral Wus could achieve it, but that didn't mean other Wu clansmen could.

Proof through brute force demanded extremely high resources and bloodline.

Ancestral Wu wasn't a realm—it was an honorific title.

The Twelve Ancestral Wus were called such because they were born from Pangu's essence blood.

Beyond these twelve, all other mid-tier Wu clansmen were born from Pangu's ordinary blood, and the lowest-tier Wu clansmen were born from Wu clan reproduction alone.

Compared to the Twelve Ancestral Wus, these Wu clansmen's bloodlines were vastly inferior; walking the path of proof through brute force was far more difficult for them than for the Twelve Ancestral Wus.

Luo Fu could see that the burly giant before him was merely a primordial giant, his bloodline strength barely equivalent to a Great Wu.

The spiritual energy in the current Three Realms was far weaker than in ancient Primordial times.

For the burly giant to walk the path of proof through brute force and reach Quasi-Saint peak in such an environment was truly remarkable.

Hearing Luo Fu's words, the burly giant's massive eyes turned slightly red, and fury began to spread within them.

Although Luo Fu showed no sign of contempt, the giant saw in Luo Fu's act of cradling the great axe, and in his just-now utterly flat tone—as if speaking of something trivial—a very real contempt.
