Chapter 1090: Confronting Ancestor Hongjun! Saint Tongtian Has Become a Burden!

Yet Yuan Chen Tianjun found it extremely difficult to casually freeze Saint Tongtian's time and send him directly to another temporal dimension.

Even if he could manage it, the duration would not last long.

With the blessing of his Saintly Position, Saint Tongtian could completely sever the force of time through the Dao of Swords.

Unfortunately, when Saint Tongtian chose to oppose Ancestor Hongjun, he could never reclaim his Saintly Position again.

Ancestor Hongjun refraining from directly stripping Saint Tongtian of his Saintly Status was already mercy enough.

Once stripped of his Saintly Status, if Saint Tongtian perished, he would truly perish outright.

After retrieving the Twelve Ancestral Wushen and Saint Tongtian from other temporal dimensions, Luo Fu activated the Chaos Pearl again, aiming to absorb them into it.

Before Yuan Chen Tianjun, the Twelve Ancestral Wushen and Saint Tongtian had become a burden.

Only by sealing them away could Luo Fu fight freely.

Yuan Chen Tianjun understood this perfectly.

This was precisely why Yuan Chen Tianjun had merely sent the Twelve Ancestral Wushen and Saint Tongtian to other dimensions instead of killing them.

If Yuan Chen Tianjun wished to kill the Twelve Ancestral Wushen and Saint Tongtian, he need only unleash a random temporal current to end their lives instantly.

He kept the Twelve Ancestral Wushen and Saint Tongtian alive solely to restrain Luo Fu.

Luo Fu's weakness was glaringly obvious to Yuan Chen Tianjun.

Realm—the same as the Twelve Yuan Chen—was Luo Fu's weakness.

Within the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm, Luo Fu was merely a projection, his realm barely stronger than the peak of a normal Pretender Saint.

This realm severely hampered Luo Fu.

Unlike the Twelve Yuan Chen, what burdened Luo Fu was not his Dao Realm, but his magic power realm.

His Dao Realm, in fact, was Luo Fu's strength.

Though merely at the peak of a Pretender Saint, under the empowerment of the Three Thousand Daos, Luo Fu's manifested Dao Realm was no weaker than that of a normal Hunyuan Daoluoxian.

In the application of Dao, with the support of his main body's realm, Luo Fu far surpassed ordinary Hunyuan Daoluoxian.

Luo Fu's only deficiency was magic power.

Magic power barely stronger than the peak of a Pretender Saint could never sustain Luo Fu through prolonged combat.

Even if Luo Fu employed various means to accumulate magic power comparable to a Saint's, this flaw remained uncorrected.

Compared to a true Saint, the magic power Luo Fu accumulated was water without a source—it would be utterly depleted in short order.

Even if Luo Fu possessed further methods, Yuan Chen Tianjun merely needed to drain all of Luo Fu's accumulated power to suppress him effortlessly.

The Twelve Ancestral Wushen and Saint Tongtian were the tools Yuan Chen Tianjun used to exhaust Luo Fu's magic power.

How could Yuan Chen Tianjun possibly afford to kill such useful tools?

Every move Luo Fu made was observed by Yuan Chen Tianjun.

If the realm and status gap was not vast, and one's own understanding of Dao was insufficient, facing a cultivator who specialized in the Dao of Time, one could not only not resist—but could hardly even escape.

Because the opponent could observe events occurring in the next few breaths of the future.

No matter how unexpected the escape maneuver, to a cultivator who specialized in the Dao of Time, every motion was crystal clear.

Thus, ordinary Hunyuan Daoluoxian encountering a Hunyuan Daoluoxian who specialized in the Dao of Time could only pray the latter would show mercy and spare their life.

This was why Hunyuan Daoluoxian who specialized in the Dao of Time were revered by countless others as Tianjun.

Just like those Dao-level powerhouses who could crush them at will, Hunyuan Daoluoxian who specialized in the Dao of Time could, if they wished, crush them with a mere flick of the wrist.

Since every future action was visible to Yuan Chen Tianjun, how could Luo Fu possibly conceal his attempt to absorb the Twelve Ancestral Wushen and Saint Tongtian into the Chaos Pearl the moment he pulled them back?

The instant his intent touched the Chaos Pearl, two streams of temporal power struck Luo Fu and the Twelve Ancestral Wushen and Saint Tongtian respectively.

Immediately, the Twelve Ancestral Wushen and Saint Tongtian, just retrieved by Luo Fu from other temporal dimensions, were sent once more into an unknown dimension.

And Luo Fu's consciousness was frozen outright by the temporal power.

Hum!

A chorus of sword hums emanated from the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword, accompanied by a streak of sword light.

The sword light, faster than lightning, plunged directly into Luo Fu's body.

The instant he was struck by the sword light, Luo Fu's frozen consciousness snapped back to awareness.

After Yuan Chen Tianjun appeared, Luo Fu had permanently inscribed a technique on the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword to dispel temporal stasis.

Whenever struck by temporal stasis, the technique on the Hunyuan Eternal Open Heaven Sword would activate automatically.

This technique, Yuan Chen Tianjun could not block.

Because this technique existed within a fixed temporal dimension, and its location shifted constantly.

Only upon activation did the technique manifest, then instantly sink into Luo Fu's body.

Yuan Chen Tianjun understood this perfectly.

Thus, he made no move to intercept it.

Yuan Chen Tianjun, who could observe the future, could not see this hidden technique of Luo Fu's.

If he could have blocked it, Yuan Chen Tianjun would have acted without hesitation.

Since Yuan Chen Tianjun made no move, it meant that in every future he observed, no action he took could stop this sword light.

The power of the Dao of Time was demonstrated once again.

Yuan Chen Tianjun, who could observe the future, always made the most optimal response.

He could accomplish the most correct action with the least effort.

The ability to glimpse the future was, at all times, a minor exploit.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Being unable to stop it did not mean Yuan Chen Tianjun could not strike Luo Fu in the meantime.

The instant Luo Fu regained consciousness, countless attacks appeared all around him.

This barrage was clearly a series of sword beams.

And upon each sword beam lingered the aura of the Dao of Sword and the Dao of Time.

Clearly, all these sword beams had been slashed by Luo Fu.

Yuan Chen Tianjun was using the sword beams Luo Fu had slashed in past and future moments to attack himself.

Doing this was not difficult.

All Yuan Chen Tianjun needed was to fight Luo Fu at Luo Fu's location within some temporal dimension.

As long as Luo Fu had ever slashed a sword strike toward his own position.

Yuan Chen Tianjun could manipulate time, infinitely replicate it, and project it into the present.

The Dao of Time was just that absurd.

Rip~~~

Faced with sword beams nearly everywhere, Luo Fu could only swing the Hunyuan Eternal Creation Sword in his hands, continuously blocking them.
