Chapter 656

In this era, myriad spirits vie for dominance.

Eventually, the demon clans unified most of the myriad spirits and jointly contended with the witch clan for dominion over heaven and earth.

Compared to the primordial chaos of antiquity, the primordial qi of the ancient chaos began to gradually dissipate, and postnatal lifeforms began to dominate.

The end of the ancient chaos was marked by the collapse of Buzhou Mountain, leaving both witch and demon clans severely wounded and both fading from prominence.

Due to the collapse of Buzhou Mountain, the primordial qi within the chaos vanished entirely.

Aside from the Daoist sanctuaries of great transcendent beings and certain places within the Thirty-Three Heavens, the chaos held no primordial qi left.

The postnatal lifeform known as humanity became the central figure among the myriad spirits.

The division between primordial and ancient eras witnessed the transformation of the myriad spirits of the chaos.

Of course, if one wished to divide them more precisely,

two additional eras could be further distinguished.

The Primordial, and the Recent.

The Primordial refers to the Age of Ferocious Beasts.

The Recent refers to the era before the Three Realms.

Such a division is more comprehensive.

The dividing marker is the Great Calamity.

Of the five eras, save for the current Three Realms, nearly every era ended accompanied by a Great Calamity.

For Luo Fu, the ancient chaos is familiar.

But for most immortals and gods within the Three Realms, the ancient chaos is already exceedingly ancient.

After all, the ancient chaos is an era from two Great Calamities and countless Yuan Hui ago.

The reason Niangniang Pingxin used the Shanhe Shèjì Map to condense the ancient chaos was, on one hand, to intimidate Luo Fu.

The land of the ancient chaos is undoubtedly far stronger than the current Three Realms.

With the ancient chaos suppressing him, even if Luo Fu had profound mastery over the Earth Dao and Space Dao, he could not escape suppression.

The other purpose was to test.

Yes, to test.

Though Niangniang Pingxin did not wish to meet Luo Fu, she still harbored some curiosity regarding his origins.

Especially since Luo Fu had just claimed to be human.

This made Niangniang Pingxin even more intrigued by him.

As the Holy Mother of humanity, and with her elder brother being humanity's Heavenly Emperor,

Niangniang Pingxin could not claim to know every detail of humanity's strength, but she knew at least seven or eight tenths of it.

She had never heard of a human cultivator named Luo Fu.

Based on the power Luo Fu had previously displayed, he did not seem human.

Humanity's origins and foundations were clear.

Without some immense stroke of fortune, humanity in this era could never break through to the level of Pre-Sage.

Not to mention Pre-Sage—even reaching the peak of Great Luo Jinxian was doubtful.

Humanity's few Pre-Sage-level powerhouses were all artificially elevated by immense strokes of fortune.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors relied on their human Dao positional status.

They were directly elevated to Pre-Sage by the human Dao itself.

The sole cultivator who achieved it through personal cultivation, Xuan Du, did so only because he stood behind the Supreme Sage.

The Supreme Sage was the strongest among the Six Sages.

Xuan Du was the Supreme Sage's only disciple.

One can imagine how much effort the Supreme Sage poured into Xuan Du.

A Sage devoting full strength to cultivation—throughout the entire chaos, perhaps only Xuan Du had such an opportunity.

This opportunity was no less significant than obtaining the positional status of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Aside from these few, humanity had no other Pre-Sage-level cultivators.

Now, Luo Fu suddenly appeared.

A human cultivator at the peak of Pre-Sage, and not an ordinary one at that.

Anyone in her place would wish to investigate the truth of it.

"If you want to test me, then let you see as much as you wish!"

Luo Fu murmured softly, paying no heed to Niangniang Pingxin's subtle intentions.

He did not care if his identity was exposed.

"Seal Heaven, Lock Earth—Imprison!"

As before, before acting, Luo Fu summoned the Chaos Pearl and sealed the entire Nüwa Palace.

Whoosh!

An invisible force surged from the Chaos Pearl and spread throughout the entire Nüwa Palace.

Instantly, the entire Nüwa Palace returned to its original stillness.

Aside from the energy being absorbed and expelled, from the outside, the Nüwa Palace appeared exactly as usual, with no anomalies.

The Shanhe Shèjì Map hovering above the Nüwa Palace was also, through this invisible force, gradually concealed in a perfectly plausible manner.

"This force—its sealing power is immense. This Luo Fu must have an astonishing origin; he possesses methods capable of obscuring the Heavenly Dao."

Luo Fu's use of Seal Heaven, Lock Earth within the Nüwa Palace could not possibly have escaped Niangniang Pingxin's notice.

As a Sage, and within her own Daoist domain, she had sensed the moment Luo Fu used the Chaos Pearl to seal the Nüwa Palace.

Undeniably, Luo Fu's move gave Pingxin Niangniang tremendous surprise.

With Pingxin Niangniang's experience, she could clearly see just how terrifying Luo Fu's sealing ability was.
