Chapter 1042: At the Cost of Heaven

The result was obvious: even when they joined forces to form the Twelve Capital Spirits Battle Array, Luo Fu shattered it effortlessly.

From that moment on, the Twelve Ancestral Wus recognized Luo Fu's terror.

As expected, just as the Twelve Ancestral Wus had guessed, the vortex reflecting Luo Fu spun for a long time without ever reflecting him.

Seeing this, Luo Fu's lips curled into a faint smile.

He had originally thought the Twelve Celestial Stems Array formed by the Twelve Celestial Stems would be immensely powerful.

Previously, the Great Dao array formed by the Five Directional Sacred Beasts had been terrifyingly potent—three or five sages entering it would be suppressed.

But after entering the Twelve Celestial Stems' small realm, Luo Fu became extremely calm.

The Twelve Celestial Stems Array was far simpler than the Five Elements Chaos Divine Demons Array.

Its sole function was to amplify the effect of the Time Dao.

The Twelve Celestial Stems were only at the mid-stage of Peak Saint.

Though the Time Dao was powerful, it demanded a certain realm to wield.

With only mid-stage Peak Saint realms, even combined, the Twelve Celestial Stems could barely challenge a Peak Saint at the absolute limit.

With the aid of Heaven's Authority, they might briefly clash with a Sage.

Of course, only briefly.

Even with Heaven's Authority, the Twelve Celestial Stems' strength remained weak.

Their realms were simply too low; the power they could unleash was extremely limited.

But once they formed the Twelve Celestial Stems Array, it was different.

First, the Twelve Celestial Stems Array could stack all their Dao insights together.

Second, the Twelve Celestial Stems Array could connect to the Long River of Time, amplifying the effect of the Time Dao at the cost of Heaven's Authority.
