Chapter 1076

Swish!

The River of the Dao of Swords descended; Saint Tongtian swung his Qingping Sword continuously, slicing out waves of sword light in a desperate effort to sever the suppressing forces surrounding him.

With the support of the Dao of Swords, Saint Tongtian barely managed to resist the suppressing force of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array.

The suppressing force of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array was backed by the Heavenly Dao, nearly inexhaustible; every sword strike Saint Tongtian made consumed his own magic power.

Within the Twelve Zodiac Small Universe, Saint Tongtian's magic power replenished extremely slowly.

To withstand the suppressing force of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array, Saint Tongtian no longer cared about his own magic power expenditure.

His internal magic power gushed out like floodwaters released from a dam.

If this continued, Saint Tongtian would soon exhaust his magic power and be crushed into pulp by the suppressing force of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array.

Not only Saint Tongtian, but the Twelve Ancestral Witches were the same.

With their peak Semi-Sage cultivation base, the Twelve Ancestral Witches would have been crushed into pulp the moment the suppressing force of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array descended—if they had not cultivated the Body Dao.

Cultivating the Body Dao grants significantly greater resistance to pressure.

Yet, facing the suppression of several Sages, the peak Semi-Sage bodies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches only slightly delayed their own demise.

Had the Twelve Ancestral Witches not immediately formed the Pangu Body to shield themselves, they would have collapsed within mere breaths under the Five Directions and Five Elements Array's suppression.

With the protection of the Pangu Body, the Twelve Ancestral Witches' condition was somewhat better than Saint Tongtian's.

The Pangu Body's flesh was immensely strong, offering even greater pressure resistance.

Like Saint Tongtian, the Pangu Body required vast amounts of malevolent energy to sustain against the endless suppressing force of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array.

This malevolent energy had to be provided by the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Even with their peak Semi-Sage cultivation base, the Twelve Ancestral Witches could not sustain the Pangu Body and the suppressing force indefinitely.

Of course, the Twelve Ancestral Witches could endure far longer than Saint Tongtian.

The Body Dao excels most in prolonged battles.

Compared to magic power, using bodily strength for combat consumes far less and recovers much faster.

Moreover, the Body Dao is self-contained and requires far less from the environment.

With the Heavenly Dao's support, the Five Directions and Five Elements Array's power was nearly inexhaustible.

Even if the Twelve Ancestral Witches could hold out longer, their fate would be the same as Saint Tongtian's.

Most critically, under the Five Directions and Five Elements Array's suppression, both the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Saint Tongtian had lost all mobility.

At this moment, if the Twelve Zodiacs attacked them, they would be utterly at the Twelve Zodiacs' mercy.

Would the Twelve Zodiacs continue to attack them?

The answer was yes.

The purpose of deploying the Five Sacred Beasts to suppress them was to eliminate them first.

Compared to Luo Fu, eliminating the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Saint Tongtian, the Chaos Divine Demons, was far easier.

As the suppressing force of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array fell upon the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Saint Tongtian, another suppressing force landed upon the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword.

Hum!

Sensing the suppressing force of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array, the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword involuntarily emitted a sword hum, attempting to warn.

Yet, within the Twelve Zodiac Small Universe, the suppressing force of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array could be imposed upon anyone by the Twelve Zodiacs with a mere thought.

Even Luo Fu could not predict it.

The moment the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword's hum sounded, the suppressing force of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array struck it.

Creak!

Under this terrifying pressure, the blade of the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword trembled slightly, emitting continuous sounds as if it might shatter at any moment.

Fortunately, the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword did not shatter—it barely held together.

The cost was numerous fine cracks appearing on its blade, and it lost all mobility, completely immobilized.

The Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword was ultimately not a true Primordial Supreme Treasure.

Had it been a true Primordial Supreme Treasure capable of withstanding Hunyuan-level clashes, this mere suppressing force could not have damaged it in the slightest.

After applying the suppressing force, the Twelve Zodiacs did not stop.

Boom!

The massive Five Elements Grinding Disc reappeared, rolling downward to crush the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword above.

Clearly, the Twelve Zodiacs intended to draw Luo Fu out.

The Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword was forged by Luo Fu and contained nearly half his power.

If the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword was attacked, Luo Fu could not ignore it.

Meanwhile, the Twelve Ancestral Witches' Heavenly Dao power manipulated the Pangu Body, swinging its massive axe to strike at the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Saint Tongtian.

As they attacked, the True Spirit of the Time Dao simultaneously infused them with temporal power.

With the True Spirit of the Time Dao's enhancement, the Twelve Zodiacs' attack speed surged several-fold.

In an instant, the Twelve Zodiacs' attacks arrived.

Under these circumstances, Luo Fu had only one choice: save the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword, or save the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Saint Tongtian.

Whichever he chose, Luo Fu must reveal his form.

Luo Fu instantly understood the Twelve Zodiacs' intent.

Watching the impending attack, Luo Fu's eyes flashed with killing intent.
