Chapter 585

Luo Fu did not currently have a method to break the formation.

This was also Luo Fu’s first time encountering the Five Directions Five Elements Great Formation.

Having never come into contact with a similar formation before, it was naturally impossible for him to possess a method to break it.

However, given Luo Fu’s attainments in the Dao of formations, researching a way to break the Five Directions Five Elements Great Formation was not a difficult task.

Especially since Luo Fu possessed comprehension at the limit of the Great Dao, it was like adding wings to a tiger, allowing him to find a way to break the formation even faster.

While Luo Fu was condensing three thousand Great Dao swords to set up the Great Dao Sword Formation,

the five holy beasts also received a telepathic message from the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Sensing the aura emanating from the Great Dao Sword Formation—an aura sufficient to threaten a Saint—a trace of surprise flashed through the eyes of all five holy beasts.

They had not expected that Luo Fu, who was only a Quasi-Saint, could erupt with the combat power of a Saint.

Unlike other great supernatural beings, the five holy beasts were merely surprised and had no intention of investigating further.

To a certain extent, the five holy beasts were five sub-Saint puppets cultivated by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and their minds were relatively simple.

Aside from obeying the orders of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, most of the time, the five holy beasts were almost entirely immersed in comprehending the Dao.

It was precisely because of this that Dao Ancestor Hongjun trusted them exceptionally, treating them as his own trump card.

Compared to the six Saints of the Primordial World who had their own agendas, the simple-minded five holy beasts were much easier to control.

Compared to investigating Luo Fu’s strength, the five holy beasts cared more about the orders of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Roar!

A tiger’s roar erupted from the mouth of the holy beast White Tiger, and a terrifying sharpness spread in all directions.

If not for the Five Directions Five Elements small world isolating the inside from the outside, the roar of the holy beast White Tiger alone would have been enough to annihilate the entire Lingshan and the surrounding void.

The current Three Realms were simply too fragile.

If a Saint were to mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao and erupt with full force, even without attacking, their mere movements would be enough to collapse vast swathes of space.

This was also the reason why Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not allow the true bodies of Saints to appear in the Three Realms.

After the reshaping by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the structure of the Primordial World had gradually taken form.

The Earth Immortal World belonged to the mundane, where mortals and cultivators who had not yet become immortals could live.

Once one became an immortal, they had to head to the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Therefore, although it was called the Earth Immortal World, in reality, apart from some relatively special blessed lands, such as Lingshan, immortals rarely appeared there.

The vast majority of cultivators who became immortals lived in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The reshaped Earth Immortal World had extremely thin spiritual energy and was not very suitable for the survival of immortals.

Mortals returning to the Earth Immortal World and immortals returning to the Thirty-Three Heavens was the future developmental law of the Three Realms.

Compared to mortals, immortals were still considered a different species.

Only by separating immortals and mortals could the order of the Three Realms be maintained to the greatest extent.

Compared to immortals, Saints were also considered a different species.

Therefore, Saints also had to be separated from immortals.

The Heaven Beyond Heaven was the world that belonged to the Saints.

The Earth Immortal World, the Thirty-Three Heavens, and the Heaven Beyond Heaven—this tiered division could maintain the stability of the Primordial World to the greatest extent.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun had indeed put some thought into the development of the Primordial World.

After all, for Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Primordial World was already in his pocket.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun naturally cared about his own things.

The spatial stability of the Three Realms was relatively weak and could not withstand confrontations between Saints.

This was also the reason why the five holy beasts moved the Five Directions Five Elements small world to the Heaven Beyond Heaven after it was condensed.

As the guardians of the Primordial world, they cared very much about the stability of the Primordial World.

In fact, even the Heaven Beyond Heaven was not suitable for confrontations between Saints.

During the War of Investiture, the battle between five Saints had shattered the entire Primordial continent.

The spatial stability of the Heaven Beyond Heaven was only slightly stronger than that of the Primordial continent.

What was truly suitable for Saints to fight in was the Chaos void.

The Chaos void was sufficiently solid and empty; no matter how terrifying the destructive power generated by a Saint's battle, it would not cause too much of an impact.

However, the five holy beasts could not take Luo Fu to the Chaos void.

While within the Primordial World, Saints and sub-Saints could exert their strongest strength.

Once they went to the Chaos void, even if they were within the radiation range of the Heavenly Dao's power, the ability of Saints and sub-Saints to call upon the authority of the Heavenly Dao would be affected.

The connection between Saints and the Heavenly Dao was tighter, so they would be less affected.

The connection between sub-Saints and the Heavenly Dao was relatively weak, making them extremely easy to isolate and weaken.

One must know that the previous fall of the two Western Saints was because their connection to the Heavenly Dao had been isolated by Luo Fu using various means.

Based on this point, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would absolutely not allow the five holy beasts to take Luo Fu to the Chaos void.

This was the reason why the Five Directions Five Elements small world was condensed.

Compared to the Heaven Beyond Heaven, the Five Directions Five Elements small world condensed by the Five Directions Five Elements Great Formation isolated the inside from the outside, was self-contained, and had extremely stable space, sufficient to withstand confrontations between Saints.

Moreover, the Five Directions Five Elements small world had just received the blessing of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and its spatial stability and strength had been raised to another level.

The roar of the holy beast White Tiger, which was enough to tear apart the Western Continent, did not cause much spatial fluctuation.

As for the Great Dao Sword Formation, the power of the three thousand Great Daos circulated among themselves, and the sharpness of the Metal element contained in the tiger's roar was directly ignored, not causing the slightest fluctuation.

Seeing that their roar had not touched the Great Dao Sword Formation in the slightest, a look of seriousness appeared in the eyes of the holy beast White Tiger.

Immediately, the seriousness in the eyes of the holy beast White Tiger was transformed into surging fighting intent.

The holy beast White Tiger was naturally fond of battle and slaughter, and the Great Dao of Metal it mastered was also a Great Dao of slaughter, which made it even more fanatical about fighting.

Unfortunately, constrained by the orders of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the holy beast White Tiger could only lie dormant most of the time to comprehend the Great Dao of Metal.

With the fanatical fighting nature of the holy beast White Tiger, if not for the suppression of Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s orders, the news of the five holy beasts would have long been known to all the great supernatural beings of the Three Realms.

Countless epochs of dormancy had left the holy beast White Tiger with a fire burning in its heart.

Although the previous battle with Xing Tian had been evenly matched, the holy beast White Tiger had felt an extraordinary sense of exhilaration; it had longed for such a battle for a long time.

If not for the orders of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the holy beast White Tiger would never have let the battle end so quickly.

The forced end of the battle did not extinguish the fighting intent in the heart of the holy beast White Tiger; instead, it made the fighting intent in its heart burn even more intensely.

Therefore, the holy beast White Tiger could not wait to attack Luo Fu.

The Five Directions Five Elements Great Formation could add the power of five people onto one person.

To fully exert the power of the Five Directions Five Elements Great Formation, the most suitable method was for the other four to maintain the formation and channel all their power into the remaining person through the formation, allowing them to fight.

The holy beast White Tiger was the most adept at slaughter among the five holy beasts.

It was the only choice for the main force.

Furthermore, the holy beast White Tiger itself was also urgently wanting to fight.

The main force to deal with Luo Fu naturally fell upon the head of the holy beast White Tiger.

The power of the Great Dao Sword Formation did not make the holy beast White Tiger angry or fearful; instead, it made its fighting intent burn even more intensely.

Luo Fu, who had condensed three thousand Great Dao swords, did indeed look incomparably powerful.

But the holy beast White Tiger was not weak either.

With the blessing of the Five Directions Five Elements Great Formation, gathering the power of the five holy beasts into one, the holy beast White Tiger was not only not weak, but far stronger than the current Luo Fu.

Feeling the powerful strength within its body, the holy beast White Tiger would not only not fear Luo Fu’s power, but instead hoped that Luo Fu would be as strong as possible.

Only if Luo Fu was strong enough could it fight to its heart’s content.

"Heaven-Tearing Giant Claw: Crack Wind!"

Endless Great Dao power gathered toward the right claw of the holy beast White Tiger, the sharpness of the Great Dao of Metal constantly spitting out, and a layer of golden light appeared on the huge tiger claw.

This layer of golden light looked extremely thin, like a cicada’s wing.

A large amount of Great Dao power, under the control of the holy beast White Tiger, was finally compressed into its current form.

The Great Dao of Metal was inherently sharp and unparalleled; after being compressed into this form, its sharp characteristics were greatly enhanced.

Relying on the cicada-wing-like claw light, the holy beast White Tiger indeed had the ability to tear apart storms.

Let alone storms, even the Great Dao of Wind could be torn apart by the holy beast White Tiger.

The Great Dao of Wind also had sharp characteristics and could cut through all things, but in front of the cicada-wing-like claw light, the sharp characteristics of the Great Dao of Wind were simply not enough to look at.

From this, it could be seen that the holy beast White Tiger’s application of the Great Dao of Metal had reached the level of perfection.
