Chapter 1269: Above the Level of a Dao-Level Powerhouse!
Familiarity breeds efficiency; with prior experience, Luo Fu accelerated the consolidation of the timeline significantly.
This time, Luo Fu chose the moment when he reversed the Journey to the West calamity and surpassed the Two Western Saints.
Having already consolidated one timeline, he now had infinite versions of himself as leverage.
This time, Luo Fu did not proceed cautiously—he opted for a blunt, brute-force method, directly forcing the consolidation through manifestation.
The backlash from the Time River was greater as a result, but it was all distributed among the infinite versions of himself.
Moreover, the versions of himself already manifested joined in, beginning to share the burden of the Time River's backlash.
Though the backlash from the Time River grew ever stronger, the number of resonating versions also multiplied, and through mutual distribution, the burden on each individual version remained negligible.
The burden on Luo Fu's true self also did not increase substantially.
This amount of backlash from the Time River, Luo Fu effortlessly bore entirely.
This time, Luo Fu's manifestation speed was several times faster than before; in less than two days, he consolidated every timeline within the Journey to the West World.
This meant that whenever Luo Fu appeared in the Journey to the West World, the Journey to the West calamity would be permanently reversed.
At the moment the timelines of the Journey to the West World were consolidated, Luo Fu's form finally radiated an aura of breakthrough.
Splash!
The Time River manifested upon Luo Fu, boundless temporal power erupted, and infinite temporal dimensions appeared behind him, layered one upon another.
Hum!
Sensing the anomalies around him, Luo Fu immediately waved his hand.
Vast, terrifying power poured forth from his hand, engulfing the space around him.
Instantly, the location where Luo Fu stood was severed into a specific temporal dimension.
Within this temporal dimension, no matter what occurred, it would not affect the real world.
As soon as his form entered the isolated temporal dimension, the aura of breakthrough burst forth uncontrollably from Luo Fu.
Splash!
A surging Time River immediately manifested, submerging Luo Fu entirely.
Luo Fu's form dissolved, fully merging into the Time River.
The next instant, Luo Fu felt his consciousness split into countless fragments, each merging into a different temporal dimension.
Once these fragments entered every temporal dimension, they each transformed into a version of Luo Fu.
No, they should not be called versions.
These incarnations were far more mysterious than mere versions.
They were both the versions of Luo Fu, differentiated and existing in separate temporal dimensions, and yet they could also be regarded as Luo Fu's true self.
In other words, in this instant, Luo Fu's true self directly split into billions of incarnations scattered across different temporal dimensions—and each of these billions, though appearing as incarnations, was indeed a part of Luo Fu.
One is ten thousand; ten thousand is one.
These incarnations, though split from Luo Fu's true self and only together constituting his true self, were, in essence, each of them Luo Fu's true self.
Luo Fu, in the midst of breakthrough, had entered an extraordinarily wondrous state.
This mysterious state could only be achieved through the power of time.
Though separated by different dimensions, the billions of conscious fragments could communicate without obstruction.
Luo Fu attempted to gather power—and discovered that each version in every temporal dimension could draw upon the power of the others.
Despite temporal dimension weakening, the power borrowed appeared relatively weak compared to his true self's strength.
But the number of versions was nearly infinite, meaning that as long as Luo Fu could endure it, he could access near-infinite power.
After all, from the moment of breakthrough, the power within him would never be exhausted.
Power would no longer be a constraint upon Luo Fu.
What now determined Luo Fu's strength was solely his realm and his comprehension of the Dao.
Realm determined the upper limit of power Luo Fu could contain; Dao comprehension determined the strength of the power he could manifest.
Under the pull of the Time River, through resonance, Luo Fu's consciousness reconsolidated.
Though Luo Fu's dispersed consciousness had reformed into one.
The state of resonance with his versions had not vanished.
Luo Fu could still perceive the billions of versions at all times.
The reconsolidated consciousness had fused completely with the Time River.
Seizing this opportunity, Luo Fu clearly perceived the anchor point he had used to break through within the Time River.
Splash!
Immediately, Luo Fu began pushing the anchor point of the Time River, extending it forward from its original position.
Previously, the anchor point Luo Fu had chosen in the Primordial World was merely the moment he successfully shaped the Six Realms of Rebirth.
Now, under Luo Fu's influence and infiltration, the timeframe enveloped by the Time River's anchor point continuously expanded.
In moments, the anchor point of the Time River within the Primordial World had expanded to encompass the period when he crushed Saint Zhunti.
In other words, within the branch of the Time River where Luo Fu existed, not only had his shaping of the Six Realms of Rebirth become a fixed fact, but his crushing of Saint Zhunti had also become a fixed fact.
The Time River's anchor point had transformed from a single point into a timeframe.
Such an anchor point was far more stable than a single point and could provide significantly greater power.
Of course, the expansion of the Time River's anchor point inevitably triggered backlash from the Time River.
Only because the billions of versions shared the burden could Luo Fu achieve this.
Otherwise, Luo Fu could never have permanently fixed a segment of history within the Time River's branch.
Fixing a single anchor point generated backlash the Time River could bear; how much less could he bear fixing an entire timeframe?
If all the backlash from the Time River fell solely upon Luo Fu, even with his foundation rivaling that of a Heaven Dao-level powerhouse, his fate would be one: immediate annihilation.
The backlash force of the Changhe, which had enveloped the entire Primordial World, contained power that surpassed that of the entire Chaos Void.
The power contained within the entire Chaos Void far exceeded that of a Great Dao-level expert.
