The gap between the Perfection Realm and the Transcendent Realm was that huge. If it wasn't for the fact that it wasn't that long since Lai Fu became a Transcendent Realm powerhouse, even if Realius had an excellent foundation, he still wouldn't be powerful enough to bridge the gap between Perfection Realm and Transcendent Realm.
It was also thanks to having a powerful element that he could manipulate which allowed Realius to defeat those who were stronger than him. After all, it was undeniable that reality was one of the most powerful elements that a manipulator could wield.
Even if a fire manipulator had the same power level and foundation as Realius, he couldn't defeat Lai Fu due to the inferiority of the fire element towards the life element.
It was all thanks to the fact that the reality element was superior to the life element. If not for that, even with his excellent foundation and Perfection Realm Peak Stage power level, Realius wouldn't be able to defeat Lai Fu.
