Chapter 329

Various Dao forces also continuously deepened and improved under Luo Fu's enhanced comprehension.

Know that whether one is a Great Luo powerhouse, a Pretender-to-Sage, or a Chaos Great Luo, all are tested on their ability to comprehend the Dao.

Generally speaking, the deeper your comprehension of the Dao, the stronger your actual power becomes.

To comprehend the Dao, one must be tested on a living being's comprehension aptitude.

Comprehension aptitude is largely determined at birth; to cultivate it later is extremely difficult.

So by then, it's no longer simply a matter of rare treasures or personal effort to improve.

Even for a Sage, pouring sufficient resources can allow a living being to break through and become a Great Luo Jinxian.

But such a Great Luo Jinxian's power, among true Great Luo Jin Xians, is utterly at the bottom.

For a living being to then break from Great Luo Jinxian into a Pretender-to-Sage, they must possess sufficient Dao comprehension to accomplish it.

This cannot be achieved by a Sage merely pouring resources.

It requires far more reliance on oneself.

Thus, comprehension aptitude is crucial for a living being's later growth.

Yet comprehension aptitude is something even powerful beings find hard to estimate.

Not to mention Luo Fu's comprehension is continuously rising.

Perhaps in Saint Tongtian's eyes, Luo Fu's comprehension is merely at the Chaos Great Luo level, comparable to these Sages.

That his comprehension at the Taiyi Jin Xian stage could rival the Heavenly Dao Sages alone proves how astonishing Luo Fu's aptitude is.

Although later increases in comprehension are also very difficult.

But even with Luo Fu's current comprehension, it is enough to give him a chance to become a Chaos Great Luo—that suffices.

How could Saint Tongtian, Master Yuanshi, and others know that Luo Fu's comprehension long ago surpassed the Chaos Great Luo level and reached the Heavenly Dao level?

This point.

Even Ancestor Hongjun likely has not truly reached this point.

Otherwise, why would Ancestor Hongjun have merged with the Heavenly Dao and fused himself with it?

Saint Tongtian, Master Yuanshi, and other Sages do not know; other living beings are even less able to perceive how astonishing Luo Fu's comprehension is.

They can only see on the surface that Luo Fu's talent is extraordinary.

Otherwise, how could he have slain the Great Luo Jinxian Jiuying while still at the Taiyi Jin Xian realm?

Not to mention the recent blooming of eighteen petals, which more directly proves this.

The legendary Pangu Divine Being supposedly achieved only twelve-petal blooming—though this is merely legend.

After all, no one has ever truly seen Pangu bloom twelve petals.

After the Primordial World was born, Pangu had already transformed his body into heaven and earth, and only then did the myriad spirits of the Primordial World emerge.

Thus, the tale of Pangu's three flowers atop his head is merely legend.

Even regarding Ancestor Hongjun's eleven-petal blooming, has anyone truly seen it? Not necessarily.

But because of oral transmission, it became treated as fact, and many Primordial World beings gradually came to believe it.

Under the condition of Luo Fu's continuously rising comprehension.

Outside.

The World-Ending Dragon, formed from a trace of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon's true spirit, appeared somewhat ethereal.

When Luo Fu absorbed past and future from the Time River, the Time River spanning the heavens vanished.

As the Heavenly Dao's Eye slowly appeared, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon understood his time was short.

Soon, this trace of his true spirit would dissipate, sinking again into fate.

Perhaps forever sunk, perhaps reviving one day.

But no matter what, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon knew one thing: no matter how hard he tried, he could never continue living.

After all, this revival of his was merely a mark left by the Heavenly Dao using his imprint in this world.

When the Heavenly Dao reclaims its power, he will cease to exist.

"Eighteen-petal blooming—perhaps this living being is more than merely a genius of the myriads of aeons," the Primordial Ancestral Dragon's eyes glinted with a spark.

Luo Fu's breakthrough to Great Luo, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon had watched with his own eyes.

Previously, in the Primordial Ancestral Dragon's mind, Luo Fu's talent, even among the Primordial Chaos, was a once-in-myriads-of-aeons genius.

One who could rival Pangu, who slew the Three Thousand Demonic Gods.

But now, seeing this, perhaps this living being surpasses even the past Pangu.

"Having inherited my Dao legacy, he is in some way connected to me," the Primordial Ancestral Dragon smiled carefreely, his gaze fixed on the heavens, where the Heavenly Dao's Eye remained as cold as ever.

The Primordial Ancestral Dragon could also sense immense pressure.

Yet he paid it no great heed.

After all, he would vanish soon, sinking again into the River of Fate.

Thus, the pressure the Heavenly Dao's Eye exerted on his true spirit, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon openly ignored.

He had not been unfamiliar with such pressure in the past.

Had he been in his peak power as the Primordial Ancestral Dragon, he would not have feared such a being as the Heavenly Dao.

Of course, that was only talk.

Currently, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon possessed only a trace of revived true spirit—less than one ten-thousandth compared to the Heavenly Dao.

Yet he never intended to compare himself to the current Heavenly Dao; he could not compare at all.

For him, what mattered most was still Luo Fu.

He had watched with his own eyes as Luo Fu drew in past and future, then bloomed twelve petals, then bore fruit and merged it into himself.

It was foreseeable that even the Primordial Ancestral Dragon himself had never witnessed such a path before.

Only that the layer of the Chaos World is higher than that of the Primordial World.

No one knows where this path of the Dao may lead.

Replace him with any other living being known to the Chaos Primordial Dragon, and not only would he fail to attain Great Luo Jinxian, he would be dead beyond revival long before halfway through the path, unable to endure for even a moment.

The difficulty is far too great.

But at this very moment, the Chaos Primordial Dragon has great expectations for Luo Fu's future.

Yet can Luo Fu survive this Tribulation Crossing of the Heavenly Dao?

The Chaos Primordial Dragon himself believes it is extremely difficult to survive this Tribulation Crossing of the Heavenly Dao.

"Little one, since I am going to die anyway, perhaps you will receive my inheritance somewhere—yet no matter how you look at it, you and I are closely linked. This time, I shall impart to you even more of my Dao inheritance." The Chaos Primordial Dragon growled softly.

The remaining World-Ending Lightning continuously condensed and formed in a peculiar manner.

Compared to how the World-Ending Lightning was used before, the Chaos Primordial Dragon's power now became far more mysterious.

This time, the Chaos Primordial Dragon would not only give Luo Fu his own Dao inheritance, but also a portion of power capable of slightly resisting the Heavenly Dao's Eye.

As for whether he could truly block it in the end—

The Chaos Primordial Dragon said he had done all he could; whether it truly succeeded or not, that was left to fate.

If Luo Fu does not die, then all is well.

If Luo Fu dies here, the Chaos Primordial Dragon has no regrets.

In an instant.

The Chaos Primordial Dragon became a phantom form; his power, his true spirit force, all merged into the black pearl before him.

That was the pearl carrying his Dao inheritance and related power.

"Go…" Watching Luo Fu still immersed in his breakthrough, the Chaos Primordial Dragon laughed aloud and flicked his claw slightly.

The black sphere on his claw transformed into a streak of black light and shot toward Luo Fu.

Boom—

Heaven and earth roared; the Chaos Primordial Dragon's actions had enraged the Heavenly Dao.

Under the judgment of the Heavenly Dao's Eye, the Chaos Primordial Dragon had dared to do such a thing—visible were countless lightning bolts surging in dense waves toward him.

This scene occurred because the Chaos Primordial Dragon had interfered in Luo Fu's Tribulation Crossing.

Just as the Saints believed—

If they aided Luo Fu during his Tribulation Crossing, the Heavenly Dao's Tribulation would turn upon them too.

Now that the Chaos Primordial Dragon had intervened, the Heavenly Dao's Tribulation naturally reacted with instinctive fury.

Countless dense bolts of lightning.

The Wu and Yao clan elders saw this and their scalps went numb.

Under such a Lei Jie, they might have not even a shred of chance to survive.
