Chapter 1153: World Barrier

If the Chaos Pearl truly could unify the Three Thousand Great Dao into one, then the world within it would not be the Chaos World, but a living world capable of sustaining Wan Ling, just like the Primordial World.

It was precisely because the Three Thousand Great Dao woven within the Chaos Pearl operated in disharmony that it never became a world, remaining merely a Chaos Spirit Artifact.

In comparison, Luo Fu's mastery over the Three Thousand Great Dao was far stronger.

After all, Luo Fu was the prodigy who could fuse the Three Thousand Great Dao into one, creating the Eternal Sword Array.

Not to mention the Chaos Pearl—even the Dao of the Primordial World did not control the Three Thousand Great Dao much better than Luo Fu.

In fact, if Luo Fu wished, creating a Hunyuan World would be no difficulty for him.

Of course, on the condition that the Hunyuan World he created was not too vast.

A Hunyuan World on the scale of the Primordial World was utterly beyond Luo Fu's capability to create.

Pangu, as a Half-Dao-Level being, ended up sacrificing his body to become the Dao itself in order to forge the Primordial World.

Luo Fu's frail frame still had a vast gap compared to Pangu's.

Under Luo Fu's manipulation, the strength of the Chaos-colored barrier rose noticeably, the Three Thousand Great Dao operated smoothly, and it began repairing itself without needing the Chaos Pearl to feed it Dao rhythm.

As Luo Fu wove his design, the lightning raging around the Chaos-colored barrier began vanishing rapidly.

The spear-shaped Divine Creation Thunderbolts, upon striking the Chaos-colored barrier, shattered countless Dao lines before dissolving into countless bolts of lightning that raged around the barrier.

These lightning bolts posed a significant threat to the Chaos-colored barrier.

They were all Divine Creation Thunderbolts, possessing immense destructive power—any Chaos current that drew near them was instantly vaporized.

This revealed the destructive power of these lightning bolts.

The lightning swirling around the Chaos-colored barrier attacked it ceaselessly.

It greatly slowed the barrier's repair speed.

This was also a considerable drain on the Chaos Pearl.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment was backed by the Primordial World; in a war of attrition, the Chaos Pearl could not match it.

The raging lightning continuously struck the Chaos-colored barrier, placing a heavy burden on the Chaos Pearl.

But the Chaos Pearl had no means to deal with these lightning bolts.

Without Luo Fu's intervention, merely maintaining the Chaos-colored barrier was already the Chaos Pearl's limit.

The raging lightning carried traces of Dao-Level power; to annihilate them required a Dao-Level divine technique.

To maintain the Chaos-colored barrier while also casting a Dao-Level technique—unless Luo Fu acted, the Chaos Pearl alone could hardly accomplish it.

The Chaos Pearl was, after all, merely an auxiliary Spirit Artifact, not a combat-oriented one; its role lay more in support than in battle.

More importantly, the raging lightning was virtually endless.

As long as the Eye of Heavenly Punishment did not cease, the lightning would never fully vanish.

Even if the Chaos Pearl obliterated them, when the next spear-shaped Divine Creation Thunderbolt struck the Chaos-colored barrier, these lightning bolts would reappear.

Faced with this situation, the Chaos Pearl could only ignore them.

The Chaos Pearl could not resolve this—but that did not mean Luo Fu had no means.

As previously mentioned, the Chaos-colored barrier surrounding Luo Fu was formed from the World Barrier.

Besides defense, the World Barrier had one other greatest function: absorbing Chaos currents and converting them into World Power.

If Chaos currents could be absorbed, so too could other things—merely by enhancing the World Barrier's intake and transformation capacity.

Luo Fu's earlier action had been adjusting the World Barrier's intake and conversion ability.

The vanishing lightning had not truly disappeared—it had been absorbed by the Chaos-colored barrier.

These absorbed lightning bolts were quietly transformed into Dao rhythm, repairing the Dao lines shattered moments before.

By absorbing the opponent's attacks, it repaired its own defenses.

Thus, as long as the opponent's attack intensity did not increase further,

the Chaos Pearl needed only to expend a small amount of power to sustain the Chaos-colored barrier's operation.

Even in a true war of attrition, the Chaos Pearl had no fear of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

Because the Chaos Pearl was using the Eye of Heavenly Punishment's own power to wage attrition against it.

Due to the extreme ferocity of the raging lightning, the Chaos-colored barrier's absorption of the lightning was well concealed.

Unless one deliberately probed, it was nearly impossible to detect.

Ancestor Hongjun's perception had been locked onto Luo Fu and rarely examined the Chaos-colored barrier.

Hence, for the moment, Ancestor Hongjun could hardly detect any anomaly.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As soon as one spear-shaped Divine Creation Thunderbolt shot out, a second one had already coalesced, followed by a third, a fourth...

While forming spear-shaped Divine Creation Thunderbolts, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment continuously gathered Dao Power and World Power.

With the support of Dao Power and World Power, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment paid almost no attention to its own consumption.

Spear-shaped Divine Creation Thunderbolts rained down like a storm, relentlessly striking the Chaos-colored barrier.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The sound of conceptual shattering echoed endlessly through the Chaos Void.

Not only conceptual shattering—the spear-shaped Divine Creation Thunderbolts had, on multiple occasions, actually cracked the Chaos-colored barrier.

Fortunately, the Chaos Pearl acted swiftly, pouring in vast amounts of Dao rhythm and repairing the barrier at maximum speed, preventing it from being truly shattered by the spear-shaped Divine Creation Thunderbolts.

Splash!

The impact from the collisions sent shockwaves rippling outward.

Wherever they passed, space turned to powder and vanished soundlessly, leaving behind vast hollows.

The Chaos currents floating around were also vaporized by the shockwaves, dissolving into nothingness.

Centered on Luo Fu and Ancestor Hongjun, a hundred million li in every direction became a hollow, dark void—no storms stirred, only endless shockwaves remained.

This is the terror of combat between Dao-Level experts.

This is also why most Hunyuan Worlds refuse to let Dao-Level experts enter their interiors.

Given the spatial resilience within the Primordial World, a Dao-Level expert needs only a casual strike to shatter all Three Realms.

Compared to the Primordial World, the Three Realms are exceedingly fragile.

Ordinary Dao-Level experts lack the ability to directly destroy a Hunyuan World, but they can destroy everything within it.

For any world, the importance of Wan Ling goes without saying.

With Wan Ling, a world can further develop.
