Chapter 494: Devouring the River of Time! The Exploding Heaven-Purifying Divine Pearls!
The Dao of Time could be considered the Dao Luo Fu was most proficient in.
He summoned the River of Time and Space frequently.
If Luo Fu wanted to, he could break the Ten Thousand Buddha Array with a single thought.
For example, the simplest way: directly connect to the River of Time and Space and drive the future and past Three Thousand Buddha Realms away from the present.
In this way, the Ten Thousand Buddha Array would be directly dismantled.
However, Luo Fu did not intend to do that.
Doing so would not be enough of a provocation to the two Western Sages.
*Hum!*
After the Ten Thousand Buddha Array condensed, tens of thousands of Heaven-Purifying Divine Pearls also began to vibrate.
Luo Fu had already decided how to break the Ten Thousand Buddha Array; he did not intend to use any flashy methods.
From the moment the past and future Three Thousand Buddha Realms were summoned to the moment the ten thousand realms aggregated into the Ten Thousand Buddha Array, not much time had passed.
Therefore, the River of Time and Space summoned by the two Western Sages had not completely disappeared.
*Swish!*
Taking advantage of the fact that the river had not yet vanished, the void portals behind the tens of thousands of Heaven-Purifying Divine Pearls flashed in unison, jumping directly from behind the pearls to the vicinity of the River of Time and Space.
Then, all the void portals erupted with a powerful devouring force.
Under the effect of this force, many water droplets from the River of Time and Space were uncontrollably ingested by the void portals.
Not only that, under the powerful suction of the tens of thousands of portals, the River of Time and Space, which was about to dissipate, could no longer maintain its form.
*Swish! Swish! Swish!*
After absorbing the water droplets, the void portals seemed to be strengthened; the devouring force they emitted did not disappear, but became even stronger, continuing to act upon the River of Time and Space.
Water droplets from the river were continuously being devoured and ingested.
Clearly, the tens of thousands of void portals were treating the River of Time and Space as an ATM.
The River of Time and Space manifested here was not the entirety of the river.
The true River of Time and Space was extremely vast.
What the two Western Sages and others summoned was merely a branch of the river within the Primordial World.
Even this single branch was enough to traverse the entire Primordial World.
The most powerful entity in the entire Primordial World was undoubtedly the Heavenly Dao.
However, the power possessed by the River of Time and Space was not much weaker than the Heavenly Dao.
It was just that the Heavenly Dao could be controlled by people, while the River of Time and Space could not.
Because the River of Time and Space was one of the ancient supreme rivers; even supreme existences could not control it, let alone other weaker beings.
Almost all powerhouses who cultivated the Dao of Time could only invoke the river, not control it.
However, the river itself possessed extremely strong power; even just borrowing a portion of it was far stronger than ordinary powerhouses of the same rank.
Because the volume of the river was terrifying, under normal circumstances, as long as you did not try to change the past or future, merely invoking its power would not result in a major backlash.
After all, unless one was a supreme existence who had mastered the Dao of Time, the power invoked by ordinary beings was not even a drop in the ocean compared to the terrifying River of Time and Space.
Precisely because of this, although the tens of thousands of void portals were devouring the water droplets, they did not suffer a backlash from the river.
Even for the Primordial branch of the river, the power devoured by the tens of thousands of portals was merely a drop in the ocean.
As long as time continued to flow, the power of the River of Time and Space would never be exhausted.
Compared to the Buddha realms, the power of the River of Time and Space was undoubtedly more advanced, and thus more convenient for masking Luo Fu's methods.
After devouring the water droplets for only a short while, the tens of thousands of Heaven-Purifying Divine Pearls began to split.
This time, it was not just a portion, but all of them.
The tens of thousands of pearls split in two, and the number of pearls suspended in the void immediately broke the one-hundred-thousand mark.
*Swish! Swish! Swish!*
After completing the split, the newly appeared tens of thousands of void portals also appeared around the River of Time and Space, beginning to devour it.
Relying on the endless energy provided by the river, the one hundred thousand Heaven-Purifying Divine Pearls took only a few breaths before they began to split again.
In this way, the number of Heaven-Purifying Divine Pearls reached the two-hundred-thousand mark.
Two hundred thousand Heaven-Purifying Divine Pearls, together with two hundred thousand void portals, densely covered the entire sky of the Western Continent of Cattle-God.
The two Western Sages soon realized the problem, and the Ten Thousand Buddha Array, which had just condensed into shape, immediately began to operate.
Boundless Buddha-light, boundless radiance, and boundless Sanskrit sounds filled the surroundings of the Ten Thousand Buddha Array.
Hundreds of millions of believers began to pray simultaneously; under the guidance of the two Western Sages, the content of these prayers was identical.
Through the prayers of the believers, the Ten Thousand Buddha Array seemed to receive a command, condensing a Buddha palm filled with countless Sanskrit sounds.
Like Luo Fu, to avoid being caught by Luo Fu, the two Western Sages also made certain disguises, changing the control of the Ten Thousand Buddha Array to guiding the believers to control it.
In essence, the two Western Sages were still the ones controlling the Ten Thousand Buddha Array. But with the believers as a cover, the two Western Sages had every reason to prove they had not violated the rules.
After all, the strongest among the believers in all the Buddha realms was only at the Da Luo Golden Immortal level.
This Buddha palm carried the momentum of covering the sky and slapped toward the heavens.
The Buddha palm condensed from ten thousand Buddha realms was larger than half the Western Continent of Cattle-God, truly blotting out the sky and sun.
However, the Buddha palm condensed by the Ten Thousand Buddha Array was not slapped toward the Heaven-Purifying Divine Pearls, but toward the River of Time and Space.
Clearly, the two Western Sages had also seen that the River of Time and Space had become the energy source for the Heaven-Purifying Divine Pearls.
To deal with the pearls, they had to deal with the River of Time and Space first.
Compared to dealing with the Heaven-Purifying Divine Pearls, dealing with the River of Time and Space was undoubtedly much simpler.
The giant Buddha palm struck the River of Time and Space at extreme speed.
The expected collision did not occur; the giant Buddha palm did not cause any impact on the River of Time and Space, and upon touching it, it seamlessly merged into the river.
The River of Time and Space naturally would not allow power from outside of time to enter; with the integration of the Buddha-light, the entire river began to rage.
The invoked River of Time and Space immediately began to restore its own power.
The devouring force of the void portals, facing the rioting River of Time and Space, was immediately weakened by more than half by the invisible power of time.
In addition, with the river's power restored, the difficulty of absorbing water droplets increased greatly.
As a result, the speed at which the Heaven-Purifying Divine Pearls drew energy was greatly slowed.
