Chapter 431

Tathagata is, after all, the Lord of Fomen, representing the face of Fomen.

To be suppressed just like that, the two Western Saints would certainly seek an explanation from Luo Fu.

Luo Fu being pitted against Fomen again became a destined event.

As for the person taking action being the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, that was even less surprising.

There are only so many powerhouses in Fomen; with the two Western Saints not taking action, the only one who could steadily suppress Tathagata was the Ancient Buddha Dipankara.

Therefore, following Tathagata, the one presiding over Fomen must be the Ancient Buddha Dipankara.

"This is the Great Dao of the Sword; could it be that he is related to the Saint Tongtian? But there is no aura of the Shangqing Dao techniques on him."

Not until he saw Luo Fu using worlds as a sword and performing the divine ability of the Great Dao of the Sword did a flash of uncertainty and suspicion cross the Jade Emperor's eyes.

The Jade Emperor's suspicion stemmed, on one hand, from Luo Fu's strength.

The strength Luo Fu displayed this time was even stronger than the last, already exceeding the Quasi-Saint level.

On the other hand, it was because of the Great Dao of the Sword.

The Saint Tongtian had only just left the Zixiao Palace, and now Luo Fu was performing a divine ability of the Great Dao of the Sword; it was hard not to make associations.

After all, in the entire Three Realms, the one most proficient in the Great Dao of the Sword is the Saint Tongtian.

Eight Views Palace.

"A decent junior; it seems there will be a great commotion in the Three Realms!"

The Saint Taishang just took one look and closed his eyes again.

It was as if the strife of the Three Realms had nothing to do with him; only the Great Dao was his pursuit.

Wa Palace.

"Bald donkeys again! All bald donkeys deserve to die! Such strong power; it seems there are still many secrets on Luo Fu. Next time, I must find an opportunity to make him confess all these secrets."

Because of their previous secret conversation, the Goddess Nüwa had a natural affinity for Luo Fu.

Seeing the various means Luo Fu displayed, she did not have many associations, but instead thought about how to make Luo Fu confess his secrets to her.

Yuxu Palace.

"Dipankara? Hmph, all traitors deserve to die. The Great Dao of the Sword—it doesn't look like the style of my junior brother. Fight, fight; sooner or later, I will clean up all these traitors."

Watching the Ancient Buddha Dipankara fighting Luo Fu, the Saint Yuanshi snorted coldly.

The agitated air around him proved the anger in the Saint Yuanshi's heart.

The Ancient Buddha Dipankara was originally the Vice Sect Master of the Chan Sect, but now he had become a person of Fomen; how could the Saint Yuanshi not be angry when he saw this?

If not for the Dao Ancestor's prohibition, the Saint Yuanshi would have wanted to take action personally right now to suppress the Ancient Buddha Dipankara.

As for the Great Dao of the Sword that Luo Fu performed, the Saint Yuanshi did not associate it with the Saint Tongtian.

Regarding the sword Dao of the Saint Tongtian, as one of the Three Pure Ones, the Saint Yuanshi understood it very well.

He could see that the divine ability Luo Fu performed had no traces of Shangqing Dao techniques.

This was also something Luo Fu had deliberately done; although he learned the Shangqing sword Dao at the very beginning, after absorbing countless inheritances, his sword Dao had long since broken free from the framework of the Shangqing sword Dao.

Using worlds as a sword was just a simple application of the Great Dao of Space; wanting to cover up the traces of the Shangqing sword Dao was easy.

Sumeru Heaven.

"Senior brother, the origin of this Luo Fu must be extremely astonishing. With so much hostility toward our Fomen, and having performed the Great Dao of the Sword, could he be a secret move of Tongtian?"

Seeing that Luo Fu had actually condensed thirty-six Worlds in the Palm and combined them into a world sword,

the Saint Zhunti realized once again that Luo Fu's background and origin must be extremely astonishing.

With his knowledge, he could see that Luo Fu's strength was far above that of an ordinary Quasi-Saint.

Even he himself, without using the power of the Heavenly Dao, might not necessarily be able to take down Luo Fu.

He is a Saint, after all; even without using the power of the Heavenly Dao, his cultivation and magic power are not something a Quasi-Saint can compare to.

"It is indeed not simple. However, he should not be a person of Tongtian; if Tongtian had such a disciple, the Jie Sect would not have been defeated so miserably in the Battle of the Investiture of the Gods."

Compared to the Saint Zhunti, the Saint Jieyin saw things more clearly.

If Luo Fu had not displayed his current strength, the Saint Jieyin or the two Western Saints would have thought that Tongtian stood behind him.

But after Luo Fu displayed his strength, the Saint Jieyin did not think so anymore.

It was just that Luo Fu's strength was too far off the charts; if Luo Fu were truly a disciple of the Jie Sect, Luo Fu alone would have been enough to make the Jie Sect stand in an invincible position.

In the Battle of the Investiture of the Gods, the Jie Sect or the two Western Saints might still have been defeated, but definitely not as miserably as they were.

"Not a secret move of Tongtian, yet so strong, and never appeared in the Three Realms—could he come from..."

The Saint Zhunti thought of a possibility, but did not dare to confirm it.

"I think the same as you, junior brother; the Daoist Luo Fu very likely comes from Chaos. Only in this way can it be explained why, with his strength, no one in the Three Realms knows of him."

The Saint Jieyin nodded, saying the words the Saint Zhunti had not finished.

"Let's keep watching; I believe we will soon know Luo Fu's true origin."

Somewhere in the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

"The Great Dao of the Sword! I didn't expect that there would still be someone in the Primordial World who has comprehended the Great Dao of the Sword to this extent; not bad, not bad, very not bad. Dipankara, the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls—the things of my Jie Sect are not so easy to take."

The Saint Tongtian stood in the chaotic airflow, watching Luo Fu and the Ancient Buddha Dipankara who were fighting.

Seeing the world sword Luo Fu condensed, a trace of appreciation could not help but emerge in Tongtian's eyes.

Using worlds as a sword proved that Luo Fu's attainments in the Great Dao of the Sword were not weak.

The Saint Tongtian, who also mainly cultivated the Great Dao of the Sword, naturally appreciated Luo Fu extremely much.

And when he saw the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, especially when he saw the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls beside the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, a trace of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Saint Tongtian.
