Chapter 1257

Don't even speak of becoming a Great Dao-level powerhouse; for countless Heaven Dao-level powers, even reaching the Half-Great Dao stage is a luxury.

Most Heaven Dao-level powers spend their entire lives struggling to reach the Half-Great Dao stage.

As for Great Dao-level powers, they are an even greater luxury to most Heaven Dao-level powers.

If it weren't for how impossibly difficult it is to break through to the Half-Great Dao stage, Ancestor Hongjun would never be so obsessed with seizing the Primordial World.

Know this: once Ancestor Hongjun fully devours the Heaven Dao, he will be irrevocably bound to the Primordial World, never able to leave it for the rest of his life.

For Ancestor Hongjun, this is equivalent to losing his freedom.

Yet for the sake of a shortcut to break through to the Half-Great Dao stage, Ancestor Hongjun is willing to forfeit his freedom.

Aside from freedom, Ancestor Hongjun has also lost the possibility of ever breaking through to the Great Dao stage.

The Heaven Dao can break through the Heaven Dao stage only if it replaces the Chaotic Void.

Of course, for Ancestor Hongjun, losing the chance to ever break through to the Great Dao stage is nothing compared to losing his freedom.

Ancestor Hongjun doesn't even have a guarantee of breaking through to the Half-Great Dao stage, let alone the Great Dao stage.

Among Heaven Dao-level powers, Ancestor Hongjun is not weak.

Otherwise, he could never have survived Pan Gu's axe, nor slaughtered so many reincarnated Chaotic Gods and Demons.

Even Ancestor Hongjun must pay the price of losing his freedom to gain a shortcut to the Half-Great Dao stage, illustrating just how difficult it is to break through to the Half-Great Dao stage.

When breaking through to Quasi-Saint stage, if one can transcend the branches of the Changhe, one will become a Half-Great Dao-level powerhouse with one hundred percent certainty.

Thus, such Quasi-Saints are rarer than Half-Great Dao-level powers; even across the entire Chaotic Void, their number likely doesn't exceed that of Great Dao-level powers by much.

Such Quasi-Saints can truly be called prodigies.

But Luo Fu's Mythic Great Dao requires transcending the branches of the Changhe at the moment one breaks through to Great Dao.

Great Dao and Quasi-Saint are not the same concept.

Before a Quasi-Saint, a Great Dao isn't even an ant.

Precisely because the gap between Great Dao and Quasi-Saint is so immense,

a Quasi-Saint Realm was established between Great Dao and Quasi-Saint.

Moreover, even between Quasi-Saint and Quasi-Saint, there is a vast gap.

Even at the peak of Quasi-Saint Realm, the distance to breaking through to Quasi-Saint remains enormous.

If the Quasi-Saint Realm were further subdivided, after Quasi-Saint peak comes Quasi-Saint Limit, and after Quasi-Saint Limit comes Quasi-Saint Invincible.

Only after reaching Quasi-Saint Invincible can one possibly break through to Quasi-Saint.

That is to say, Great Dao is at least a dozen realms away from Quasi-Saint.

Even prodigies and geniuses have only a sliver of hope to transcend the branches of the Changhe when breaking through to Quasi-Saint.

To transcend the branches of the Changhe at the moment of breaking through to Great Dao is nearly impossible for any normal genius.

Even the branches of the Changhe in the Quasi-Saint World are relatively weak, yet still inaccessible to ordinary people.

Normally, only Quasi-Saint can resist the backlash of the Quasi-Saint World's Changhe branches.

Even Quasi-Saint can only resist relatively weak backlash; should the Changhe erupt, even Quasi-Saint may not withstand it.

Retrieving past and future selves from the Changhe inevitably triggers its eruption.

Faced with such an eruption, even Quasi-Saint may not withstand it.

This is why most Quasi-Saint struggle to transcend the branches of the Changhe when breaking through to Quasi-Saint.

Because at the moment of breakthrough, they are not yet Quasi-Saint and cannot possibly resist the Changhe's backlash.

Ordinary cultivators, unless their primary path is the Time Dao, cannot even touch the Changhe's backlash until the Quasi-Saint stage.

Great Dao powers, even if they merely touch a fraction of the Changhe's backlash, face only one fate: annihilation by its counterforce.

Great Dao Quasi-Saint powers cannot withstand the Changhe's backlash, and even touching the Changhe is difficult.

Not to mention Jin Xian powers below Great Dao.

Normally, Jin Xian cannot even touch the Changhe, let alone retrieve past and future selves from it.

Thus, becoming a Mythic Great Dao is among the most terrifying monsters in the entire Chaotic Void.

Even scouring all of the Chaotic Void's history, one might not find a single such monster.

If, upon breaking through to Quasi-Saint, one can transcend the branches of the Changhe, then as long as one does not perish, one will become a Half-Great Dao-level powerhouse with one hundred percent certainty, and has a high chance of becoming a Great Dao-level powerhouse.

Then Mythic Great Dao, having transcended the branches of the Changhe at the moment of breaking through to Great Dao, will become a Great Dao-level powerhouse with one hundred percent certainty if they do not perish, and may even transcend the Chaotic Void.

To the beings of the Chaotic Void, Mythic Great Dao is a miracle.

Luo Fu is a living miracle.

For Luo Fu, as long as he cultivates methodically, he will advance without obstruction to the Great Dao stage.

Unfortunately, for Luo Fu, cultivating methodically is nearly impossible.

To Luo Fu, becoming a Great Dao-level powerhouse means nothing.

Even without becoming a Mythic Great Dao, with Luo Fu's Great Dao-limit comprehension, he would still become a Great Dao-level powerhouse with one hundred percent certainty.
