Chapter 1074

Luo Fu, like Saint Tongtian, also primarily cultivates the Great Dao of Time.

What Saint Tongtian can do, Luo Fu can do as well.

Even against the elusive Saint Tongtian, the Twelve Yuan Chen still had ways to handle him.

But if Luo Fu also became as elusive as Saint Tongtian, the Twelve Yuan Chen would struggle to respond.

The Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword in Luo Fu's hand was simply too sharp.

Added to that, Luo Fu's realm was high enough to perceive every flaw in the Twelve Yuan Chen.

No matter what the Twelve Yuan Chen condensed, Luo Fu could likely cut it down with a single sword stroke.

Conceal one's form, then suddenly unleash a sword strike to obliterate.

After obliterating it, conceal one's form again.

Thus, the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm was no longer Luo Fu's tomb—it became his hunting ground.

This point, not only did the Twelve Yuan Chen see it, Luo Fu saw it too.

Seeing Saint Tongtian extinguish his own aura to temporarily conceal his form, Luo Fu's eyes lit up.

Let it be said, some things cannot be mastered by insight alone, especially the development of the Great Dao.

Comprehending the Great Dao requires insight; developing it requires, beyond insight, inspiration.

The technique Saint Tongtian mastered, Luo Fu had never thought of.

The Great Dao of the Sword could cut down all things—of course, it could also sever the opponent's perception of oneself, achieving an effect akin to invisibility.

Shhh!

With a light swing of the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword, a blade of light swept across Luo Fu's surroundings.

Luo Fu immediately copied and applied the small technique Saint Tongtian had just used.

This was merely a minor application of the Great Dao of the Sword, inherently not very difficult.

The greatest difficulty with techniques lies in the imagination.

Some techniques can only be understood if one's imagination is vast enough.

Once one person grasps it, the technique becomes easy for everyone else.

Extinguishing one's own aura is an application of the Great Dao of the Sword.

Only two conditions are needed: one, the Hunyuan layer of the Great Dao of the Sword; two, sufficient mastery of the Great Dao of the Sword.

Luo Fu could meet both requirements.

Not only meet them—he surpassed them by far.

From a position of supreme mastery, Luo Fu needed only one glance to understand its essence and execute it perfectly.

In fact, even if this technique were truly difficult,

For Luo Fu, it was no challenge at all.

After all, Luo Fu possessed comprehension of the Great Dao at its ultimate level.

Below the Great Dao level, no divine art posed any difficulty for Luo Fu to comprehend.

The instant he extinguished his own aura, Luo Fu also severed the Twelve Yuan Chen's perception of him.

Amidst the flashing blade-light, Luo Fu, who had been fixedly watched by the Twelve Yuan Chen, vanished from their perception entirely.

Whoosh!

The Changhe River began flowing faster again; invisible temporal power spread across every corner of the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm.

Having lost Luo Fu's trail, the Twelve Yuan Chen fully activated the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm, distributing perception to every inch of it.

Hoping to find Luo Fu's whereabouts as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, after searching every corner of the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm, they found no trace of Luo Fu.

The temporal power that swept every inch of the realm detected nothing unusual.

Luo Fu had vanished as if into thin air.

In truth, Luo Fu had not vanished.

Not only had he not vanished—he had not moved at all, remaining exactly where he had been.

The reason the Twelve Yuan Chen failed to detect Luo Fu was, first, because of the blind spot beneath the lamp.

No one would normally imagine that Luo Fu, having concealed his form, would remain motionless in his original position.

Second, Luo Fu's application of this technique had surpassed Saint Tongtian.

Saint Tongtian could only extinguish his own aura for a limited time via the Great Dao of the Sword.

But Luo Fu could extinguish his very sense of existence for a time as well.

Aura is still comprehensible; sense of existence belongs to a purely conceptual realm.

Only Luo Fu, with his astonishing comprehension, could reach this level at his current realm.

With his sense of existence extinguished, the Twelve Yuan Chen could not possibly detect Luo Fu's whereabouts.

After scanning again and again without finding Luo Fu, the Twelve Yuan Chen withdrew their perception and refocused attention on the eight vortices at the center of the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm.

Under the Twelve Yuan Chen's full activation, the past and future bodies of the Twelve Zu Wu, previously obliterated by Luo Fu and Saint Tongtian, emerged once more from the vortices.

Reconstituted as before, the past and future bodies immediately formed the Twelve Earthly Spirits Blood Chaos Array, summoning the Pangu Body.

But this time, the summoned Pangu Body absorbed all Twelve Zu Wu into its own form, protecting them within.

Seeing this, Luo Fu's eyes flashed with a sharp gleam.

Let it be said, the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm was simply too troublesome.

The past and future bodies reflected by the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm were not only immensely powerful but nearly indestructible—like a system bug.

Ordinary cultivators, if confronted with them, would have virtually no way to cope.

Even Luo Fu found dealing with them exceedingly troublesome.

Although Luo Fu had not been found, the Twelve Yuan Chen were not idle.

Boom!

The supreme power of the Five Directions and Five Elements Great Array descended once more.

This time, the crushing force of the Five Directions and Five Elements Great Array split into two streams: one pressed down upon the Twelve Ancestral Wushu and Saint Tongtian, the other upon the Hunyuan Eternal Open-Creation Sword hanging in the sky.

Since Luo Fu had temporarily vanished, deal with the others first.

As long as Luo Fu remained within the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm, there would inevitably come a moment when he would appear.

Crack! Crack!

In the instant the crushing force of the Five Directions and Five Elements Great Array fell, the Twelve Ancestral Wushu and Saint Tongtian felt as if a colossal, immense star had crushed them. Every bone in their bodies groaned under the pressure.

Boom!

Faced with this pressure, the Twelve Ancestral Wushu did not hesitate for an instant; they immediately dispersed their Pangu Body, then reformed it, shielding themselves within.

It was not only the Twelve Ancestral Wushu who felt they could barely hold out—Saint Tongtian felt the same.

In terms of physical strength alone, Saint Tongtian was only slightly stronger than the Twelve Ancestral Wushu.

This was because, when he became a Saint, his body had been purified by the Heavenly Dao, forging a Saintly Body.

Otherwise, Saint Tongtian, who did not cultivate his flesh, could never have matched the Twelve Ancestral Wushu.

This was the advantage of a higher realm.
