Chapter 549

Knowing he was outmatched, the burly giant struck out purely because his hands were itching.

A warlike soul, he had long been stifled in the depths of Gai Jiuyou's reincarnation cycle.

Precisely because he only wanted to satisfy his urge to fight, the burly giant had held back his earlier axe strike to the peak layer.

A moment ago, he was merely itching for a fight; now, the burly giant was serious.

He might lose to Luo Fu, but he could not be defeated in such a manner.

The Wu clan's greatest pride was their physical bodies.

As one of the last remaining Great Wu of the Wu clan, the burly giant would never allow anyone to toy with him in the way one toys with a child—on the path of the body.

That earlier axe strike was merely comparable to the peak layer.

It was not because his strength was only at the peak layer.

It was because the current Gai Jiuyou space could only sustain the peak layer.

The burly giant appeared reckless and warlike, but inwardly he was fully aware.

Yet now, spurred on by Luo Fu, the burly giant's battle fury erupted, and he truly began to care nothing for consequences.

"Luo Fu, my name is Xing Tian, Great Wu Xing Tian—take another axe from me!"

No sooner had the words left his lips than a staggering battle fury surged from Xing Tian, soaring into the heavens; his body swelled further, transforming in an instant into a giant towering ten thousand zhang tall.

The giant stood upon the earth of Gai Jiuyou, raising his massive axe above his head, his battle fury solidifying into a black-and-red armor that enveloped him entirely.

"Fight!"

"One axe cleaves heaven!"

With Xing Tian's roar, a great Dao saturated with blood and Di Jiang's fury was summoned, reinforcing him.

This made his already formidable aura even more terrifying.

The boundless battle fury spread in all directions.

At this moment, Xing Tian's eyes held no trace of distraction—only the thought of invincibility, the unyielding will to fight to the death, and the figure of Luo Fu.

Xing Tian gripped his massive axe and brought it down with all his might toward Luo Fu.

With the Dao's reinforcement, his peak-layer Great Wu physical strength struck Luo Fu with the force to destroy heaven and earth.

Crack!

Wherever it passed, space was torn apart by Xing Tian's axe, revealing jagged black rifts and surging torrents of earth, fire, water, and wind.

Manifesting the true form of a Great Wu, merging with the Dao.

Clearly, Xing Tian had now unleashed his full power.

This axe strike, in the current Three Realms, truly carried the might of cleaving open heaven.

······

"Ah…"

As Xing Tian unleashed his battle fury and struck with full force, a soft sigh echoed from the depths of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Immediately, an invisible force spread outward from the depths of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

In an instant, the space around Xing Tian and Luo Fu was sealed off by this invisible force.

······

"So it really is Xing Tian?"

From the very beginning, Luo Fu had suspected the burly giant before him might be the legendary Great Wu Xing Tian.

His staggering battle fury, coupled with the use of an axe, matched the legends of Xing Tian too closely.

As he murmured to himself, Luo Fu's right hand twitched slightly.

An almost imperceptible invisible force began spreading outward, sealing off the surrounding space.

Xing Tian's axe strike had created too much commotion.

Just after subduing the Buddha, Luo Fu had already made a public display in the Three Realms.

Right now, Luo Fu needed to remain low-key.

At this stage, Luo Fu did not wish to reveal too many of his secrets.

Though using less than one ten-thousandth of his power would be enough to defeat Xing Tian without exposing much of his true strength,

In the current Three Realms, revealing a dozen peak-layer Great Saint insights into Dao was already over the limit.

Even revealing just this much Dao insight had made Saint Zhunti wary of him.

If Luo Fu were to further reveal his physical strength capable of subduing a peak-layer Great Wu, even the Dao Ancestor might be stirred, turning his gaze upon him.

Peak-layer Great Saint physical body, proficient in a dozen Dao mysteries, all mastered to the peak layer.

In the Three Realms, there is only one such template: the Primordial God Pangu.

The Primordial God Pangu followed the path of proving the Dao through brute force; his body was naturally peerless, yet since he had opened the Primordial World, his Dao insights could not have been weak—he must have comprehended all three thousand Daos without deficiency.
