Chapter 1021

Luo Fu is the one Ancestor Hongjun personally ordered to be suppressed; the Sacred Beast Bai Hu will not let him go under any circumstances.

"Come then, I too wish to witness the true power of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array."

Upon hearing the Sacred Beast Bai Hu's words, Luo Fu's expression did not change in the slightest, as if he feared not the Five Directions and Five Elements Array at all.

In fact, Luo Fu truly did not fear it.

When he first fell into the Five Directions and Five Elements Array, Luo Fu had some concern that the Sacred Beast Bai Hu would directly mobilize the Array's power to suppress his avatar.

Now, however, Luo Fu had not the slightest worry.

The mysteries of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array were fully clear to Luo Fu.

Had he not wished to appear less monstrous, Luo Fu could have shattered the Five Directions and Five Elements Array with a single thought.

An Array that could be shattered with a single thought was not worth Luo Fu's concern.

Rather than worrying whether the Five Directions and Five Elements Array would suppress him, Luo Fu was more concerned whether he could suppress all Five Sacred Beasts the instant the Array was broken.

Suppression, not slaying.

The Five Sacred Beasts all possess Sub-Saint status; if slain, Ancestor Hongjun need only expend Heavenly Dao energy to resurrect them outright.

Suppression is different: as long as their true spirits remain intact, even Ancestor Hongjun could not replicate them through the Heavenly Dao imprints they left behind.

If one could replicate an identical Saint or Sub-Saint merely by relying on true spirit imprints, Ancestor Hongjun would have been invincible long ago.

He would only need to replicate all Heavenly Dao energy into Saints, and the entire Honghuang would be utterly under Ancestor Hongjun's control.

Killing can only destroy for a moment, not for an age.

Suppression, by comparison, is more suitable.

The Hunyuan Eternal Opening Heaven Sword in his hand lifted slightly, the Dao's power flowing within it; Luo Fu's gaze locked onto the Sacred Beast Bai Hu, as if waiting for him to strike.

The Sacred Beast Bai Hu also looked at Luo Fu, and the Golden Dao River absorbed into his body began to recede.

Without the influx of the Golden Dao River, the Sacred Beast Bai Hu reverted to flesh and blood.

Next, he needed to mobilize the Five Elements Dao, but the true spirit of the Golden Dao clashed with the Five Elements Dao.

Their gazes collided in midair.

Waves of savage, bloodthirsty killing intent surged toward Luo Fu through their line of sight.

Though he held great admiration for Luo Fu, that did not mean the Sacred Beast Bai Hu would let him off easy,

The most fitting way to express admiration for an enemy was to tear them into fragments.

That was precisely what the Sacred Beast Bai Hu intended.

Luo Fu paid no heed to the killing intent in the Sacred Beast Bai Hu's eyes; his gaze remained coldly indifferent, as if he had never regarded the Sacred Beast Bai Hu as worthy of notice from the start.

Indeed, that was true: Luo Fu had never regarded the Sacred Beast Bai Hu as significant; his target had always been Ancestor Hongjun.

Had the Sacred Beast Bai Hu not been Ancestor Hongjun's backup plan, even with the Five Directions and Five Elements Array's enhancement, he still would not have merited Luo Fu's attention.

Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!

Without further delay, the Sacred Beast Bai Hu stirred his mind and directly communicated with the other four.
