Chapter 1008

Thus, the sacred beast Bai Hu could still indirectly breach Luo Fu's defenses.

Without the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword to block it, the countless sharp bristles would instantly tear Luo Fu into bloody mist.

One must admit that the sacred beast Bai Hu, though seemingly hot-tempered and reckless, still possessed some battle wisdom.

Any other being, even a mighty Hunyuan Daoluo Jin Xian, would likely fall victim to Bai Hu's sudden ambush.

Unfortunately, the sacred beast Bai Hu had met Luo Fu.

In quantity, Luo Fu's Primordial Spirit awareness was perhaps unremarkable.

But in quality, Luo Fu's Primordial Spirit awareness was exceedingly terrifying.

In the entire Primordial World, almost no one matched Luo Fu's Primordial Spirit awareness in quality—not even Ancestor Hongjun fell far short.

In quality, Luo Fu, possessing the ultimate awakening of the Dao, had already touched the Dao level.

The Dao level—only the fallen Pangu, if anyone, had ever touched it in the entire Primordial World.

Even a single thread of Dao-level Primordial Spirit awareness could not be erased by Bai Hu, a mere Sub-Sage sacred beast.

Ding ding ding!

The attacks of Bai Hu's clones continued.

Dense, countless sharp bristles hammered Luo Fu without pause.

Each instant, Luo Fu had to wield the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword to sweep away dozens of waves of dark-golden claw rays and sharp bristles striking from all directions.

Such intense attacks also consumed vast amounts of Dao force.

Unlike Bai Hu, who was supported by the Five Directions Five Elements Array and possessed near-infinite magic power with no concern for expenditure, Luo Fu was different.

The Dao force within the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword had all been borrowed in advance by Luo Fu through his Vow Dao.

Moreover, Luo Fu had summoned the powers of past and future from the Timeless River.

To outsiders, these powers also demanded a price.

The longer the powers of past and future were maintained, the greater the cost.

Of course, exactly how much Luo Fu had to pay mattered little to the current battle.

What truly mattered was that Luo Fu was only a Pre-Sage and could not restore his magic power rapidly like a Sage.

More importantly, due to the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao and the Five Directions Five Elements Micro-World, Luo Fu struggled to absorb spiritual energy from outside, further limiting his speed of magic power recovery.

Otherwise, Luo Fu would not have needed to borrow power from the Timeless River via his Vow Dao.

Thus, the Dao force within the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword could hardly be replenished—each bit used was one bit lost; once entirely depleted, even Luo Fu could only choose defeat and death.

The Vow Dao had already been used once; it could not be used again in the short term.

The powers of past and future had all been summoned.

One could say Luo Fu had pushed every usable power to its absolute limit.

Judging by the current situation, Bai Hu seemed to be planning that if he could not overcome Luo Fu quickly, he would rely on relentless attacks to suppress and exhaust the Dao force within the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword.

Otherwise, given that Bai Hu's clones' continuous attacks had failed to harm Luo Fu, Bai Hu would not have kept commanding his clones to pour endless assaults upon Luo Fu.

Of course, at least for now, Bai Hu had no intention of simply wearing Luo Fu down.

As Bai Hu's clones bombarded Luo Fu, Bai Hu's true body transformed into a streak of light and silently approached Luo Fu.

Yet in Luo Fu's perception, every movement of Bai Hu's true body was crystal clear—there was no such thing as silence or stealth.

Bai Hu did not seem to intend to conceal his whereabouts, only slightly lowering his own presence.

After so long a battle, Bai Hu knew well that Luo Fu's realm far surpassed his own.

His so-called stealth techniques meant nothing to Luo Fu's eyes.

The reason Bai Hu directly approached Luo Fu was not due to silent movement, but because Luo Fu was fully occupied by Bai Hu's clones.

In Bai Hu's view, Luo Fu had been completely pinned down by his clones.

Faced with the ceaseless assault, Luo Fu, wielding the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword, was already struggling to keep up.

If he merely lowered his presence slightly, the focused-defending Luo Fu might not notice his true approach.

Even if he noticed, it did not matter—Bai Hu believed that under these circumstances, Luo Fu had no spare attention and could only let him draw near.

Bai Hu's guess was only partially correct.

Luo Fu had indeed detected his presence long ago.

More precisely, every movement of Bai Hu's true body had never escaped Luo Fu's perception.

Not just Bai Hu's true body—even the other four maintaining the Five Directions Five Elements Array were fully within Luo Fu's awareness.

As Bai Hu suspected, Luo Fu had detected his presence but made no move to stop him from approaching.

The reason was not that Luo Fu was too occupied, but that he did not care about Bai Hu's approach.

Luo Fu himself was curious to see what Bai Hu's true body intended to do by drawing near.

Within the Five Directions Five Elements Micro-World, Bai Hu's speed was still swift.

Not long after, Bai Hu's true body appeared beside Luo Fu.

Whoosh!

The next instant, the Jin Zhi Dao River descended abruptly.

An endless stream of Dao force poured directly onto Luo Fu.

An invisible suppression also descended.

The sudden arrival of the Jin Zhi Dao River, like the vast golden light Bai Hu had previously summoned using Daoluo Heavenly Dao force, suppressed all Dao forces except Jin Zhi Dao.

Under the suppression of Jin Zhi Dao, Luo Fu felt as if a great mountain had suddenly settled upon him.

Not only Luo Fu, but the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword was also suppressed.
