Chapter 1371: An Ordinary Hunyuan Dafu Jin Xian?

Or rather, most of the power consumed would be the Heavenly Dao force absorbed and transformed.

The legendary projection avatar would devour the power of the Great Dao, half of it vanishing into the void surrounding the chaotic-colored barrier, and half injected into the chaotic-colored barrier itself—not merely channeling the absorbed Great Dao power into the three thousand Great Dao swords, but also seeking to continue devouring Heavenly Dao force.

Devouring three-tenths of the Heavenly Dao force in one go, as before, was nearly impossible to replicate.

As long as the devouring vortex remained, Ancestor Hongjun could not allow the Heavenly Dao force to continue striking the chaotic-colored barrier.

Conversely, if the devouring vortex were dispelled, Ancestor Hongjun might instead resume having the Heavenly Dao force strike the chaotic-colored barrier.

Of course, Luo Fu causing the legendary projection avatar to disperse the devouring vortex did not mean the Eternal Sword Array would cease devouring Heavenly Dao force.

In fact, as long as Heavenly Dao force neared the chaotic-colored barrier, it would be devoured by the ever-present Great Dao of Devouring.

Yet compared to before, the rate at which the Great Dao of Devouring now absorbed Heavenly Dao force was relatively slow—a subtle, gradual devouring.

If Heavenly Dao force struck the chaotic-colored barrier, a portion of it would likewise be devoured by the Great Dao of Devouring distributed across the barrier.

The absorbed power would then be channeled into the three thousand Great Dao swords, sustaining their operation.

Through this method, the amount of Heavenly Dao force devoured was far less than the first time, but it was enduring—if the Heavenly Dao force continued striking the chaotic-colored barrier, the legendary projection avatar could control the Great Dao of Devouring to continuously absorb Heavenly Dao force.

Thus, the devoured Heavenly Dao force became one of the power sources sustaining the three thousand Great Dao swords.

Luo Fu had not initially used the legendary projection avatar to absorb Heavenly Dao force this way because the Great Dao of Devouring distributed around the chaotic-colored barrier had been forcibly amplified by the Eternal Sword Array and was unstable.

The Heavenly Dao force in its full strength could, by virtue of its power advantage, forcibly shatter the Great Dao of Devouring, leaving it counterproductive.

Hence, Luo Fu had not revealed the Great Dao of Devouring at the outset, but instead concealed its aura with the River of Time, allowing it to accumulate sufficient power to devour a massive amount of Heavenly Dao force in one strike.

After being weakened by the Great Dao of Devouring, the diminished Heavenly Dao force could no longer shatter the Great Dao of Devouring.

"Ancestor Hongjun flatters me—I am merely an ordinary Hunyuan Dafu Jin Xian, so I can only wield techniques of the Hunyuan layer."

Seeing Ancestor Hongjun disperse the Heavenly Dao force surrounding him, Luo Fu likewise waved his right hand, dispelling the Earth Great Dao and the Great Dao of Devouring, returning the three thousand Great Dao swords to their initial state, then looked at Ancestor Hongjun and said in a calm yet earnest tone.

Upon hearing Luo Fu's words, even Ancestor Hongjun's Dao heart could not help but twitch slightly at the corner of his mouth.

An ordinary Hunyuan Dafu Jin Xian?

Which ordinary Hunyuan Dafu Jin Xian could master three thousand Great Daos? Which ordinary Hunyuan Dafu Jin Xian could defy a Hunyuan Wuji Dafu Jin Xian across a realm gap?

Luo Fu's words had been genuinely cringe-worthy.

Ancestor Hongjun had nothing to say in response.

After all, Luo Fu had indeed only wielded techniques of the Hunyuan layer.
