One hundred and forty years ago.
Lu Qingfeng had just conjured up his avatar, the "Luo Fuzi," with the "Three Light Heavenly Xin Sword" bearing a total of seventy-two Earth Evil restrictions. Having refined up to forty-five layers, Luo Fuzi's strength was comparable to the pinnacle of the Third Realm of the Life and Death Skill. Among the ranks of the Immortal Dao, it was equivalent to the peak of the Golden Core. Placed in the Barbarian God Realm's Heavenly Punishment Abyss, it would be considered at the Duke level.
Time passed.
As the avatar continued to refine, layer by layer of restrictions were processed, leveraging an array of Spiritual Objects to refine mana. By the time of the battle at Southern Pass Road a hundred years ago, Luo Fuzi had refined forty-eight layers of restrictions within his body. His combat prowess further strengthened, and he even held back some of his power during that battle.
