Chapter 1063: Resisting Pangu! Counter-Killing the Saint!

The Twelve Ancestral Wu were merely at the peak of Virtue Saint, and even with the Twelve Capital Heavenly Demon Array, their combat power remained limited.

Without the Locking of the Dao of Force, as long as Luo Fu reacted in time, he could easily sever the giant axe in the hands of Pangu's body with the Hunyuan Eternal Opening Heaven Sword.

Previously, Saint Tongtian had severed the incoming axe-light using the Dao of the Sword.

If Saint Tongtian could sever it, Luo Fu could certainly sever it too.

After all, Luo Fu's realm was higher than Saint Tongtian's.

But now, Luo Fu's consciousness had been frozen by the Dao of Time.

Not to mention launching a counterattack—he might not even react when Pangu's body's axe fell upon him.

At the critical moment, the Hunyuan Eternal Opening Heaven Sword hanging in the sky suddenly began to change; the aura of the Five Elements Dao faded, and the aura of the Dao of Time erupted violently.

A blade of light suddenly slashed forth from the Hunyuan Eternal Opening Heaven Sword.

The target of this blade of light was no one else but Luo Fu himself.

The blade of light flew at extreme speed, as if slicing through time itself.

Before anyone could react, the blade of light plunged into Luo Fu's body.

Splash!

Instantly, a branch of the Time Changhe appeared behind Luo Fu, and a dense aura of the Dao of Time erupted from within him.

Luo Fu's consciousness, previously frozen by the Dao of Time, restored itself in that instant.

If this had been an ordinary person, the first emotion upon regaining consciousness would have been terror.

Had Luo Fu's consciousness recovered even one second later, Pangu's body's axe might have struck him.

Yet Luo Fu's expression showed no change whatsoever—calm as ever.

As if the situation he had just endured held no danger at all.

And in truth, it truly held none.

For an ordinary person, the situation had indeed been deadly.

With consciousness frozen by the Dao of Time, one could make no reaction whatsoever, helpless before slaughter.

If one failed to awaken from the Dao of Time's freeze in time, even if one were cut in half, one would remain utterly unaware.

The Twelve Yuan Chen's Time Freeze Technique was a killing move even for Saints.

But it meant nothing to Luo Fu.

This had little to do with Luo Fu's transcendence beyond the Time Changhe.

The Time Freeze Technique, in essence, stretched a person's perception of time infinitely through the Dao of Time.

For an ordinary person, one second of time would be stretched to ten seconds, twenty seconds, or even longer under the Time Freeze Technique.

That is, a normal person's one-second reaction would require ten, twenty, or even a hundred seconds for someone under the Time Freeze Technique.

In battles between experts, a single breath could decide life or death.

How much more so with dozens of breaths—or even longer?

Once consciousness was frozen, one lost all capacity to resist.

By the time you realized what had happened, your opponent had already cut you into countless pieces.

Under the Time Freeze Technique, even an ordinary Virtue Saint could reverse-kill a Saint.

Of course, the Time Freeze Technique was not truly invincible.

Any technique had its limitations.

The strength of the Time Freeze Technique depended on two things: one's mastery of the Dao of Time, and the gap in strength between opponents.

The greater the strength gap, the weaker the effect of the Time Freeze Technique.

Among peers, if one's mastery of the Dao of Time was not deep relative to one's realm, the effect would be only two or three times.

In other words, when realms were equal, the Time Freeze Technique could only slow an opponent's conscious reaction speed by two to three times.

This effect was already immensely powerful.

Conscious reaction speed determined the speed of attack and defense.

A drastic reduction in conscious reaction speed meant the mind could not keep up with the body, drastically lowering combat power.

But merely drastic reduction did not equate to helplessness.

Only when one's realm was one level lower could consciousness be directly frozen.

If one's realm was one level higher, the Time Freeze Technique's effect became negligible—only slightly slowing conscious reaction speed, or even having no effect at all.

The Luo Fu within the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm was merely a projection, his realm at the peak of Virtue Saint.

Thus, under the Twelve Yuan Chen's Time Freeze Technique, Luo Fu's entire consciousness was nearly frozen.

But only the projection was frozen; Luo Fu's true body remained utterly unaffected.

First, the connection between projection and true body was not very tight; the Time Freeze Technique could hardly extend through it to the true body.

Second, even if the Twelve Yuan Chen's Time Freeze Technique struck Luo Fu's true body, it would have little effect.

Although Luo Fu's true realm had not yet broken through to Hunyuan Da Luo Dao Jinxian, his accumulated power could rival ordinary Heaven Dao experts.

Even with the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm, their Time Freeze Technique was only equivalent to an ordinary Hunyuan layer.

The gap between it and Luo Fu remained vast; even if it struck him, it would have no effect whatsoever.

Moreover, Luo Fu also excelled in the Dao of Time, and his realm surpassed that of the Twelve Yuan Chen.

If the Twelve Yuan Chen truly applied the Time Freeze Technique to Luo Fu's true body, the result would be that their own consciousness would be frozen in reverse, perishing in the endless flow of time.

The consciousness of the true body and the projection could be linked.

The projection's consciousness was frozen, but the true body's consciousness was not.

That meant Luo Fu merely appeared to have his consciousness frozen—actually, the Time Freeze Technique had no effect on him whatsoever.

Of course, saying this is not entirely accurate.

At least while the avatar's consciousness was frozen, it was nearly impossible to manipulate the Chaos Eternal Creation Sword through consciousness alone to break free from the suppression of the Five Directions Five Elements Great Array and the time-freezing spell of the Twelve Yuan Chen.

Fortunately, another Chaos Eternal Creation Sword hovered in midair, unaffected by the time-freezing spell.

Luo Fu immediately used his true body to direct the Chaos Eternal Creation Sword to strike forth a long sword imbued with the Dao of Time.

Thus, the scene just witnessed occurred.
