Chapter 595
With a shift of his intent, the Holy Beast Bai Hu began to communicate directly with the Five Directions Five Elements Array.
In an instant, the power of the entire Five Directions Five Elements Small World began to be mobilized.
The power of the Five Directions Five Elements Array was comparable to five Saints, and these were five Saints whose strength was not weak; merely mobilizing it, without even erupting at full power, its might was already extremely terrifying.
Facing this power, even a Saint would have to exert their full strength to barely resist it.
Lacking the support of magic power, the Great Dao Sword Array condensed by Luo Fu had a not-insignificant gap in power compared to the might he had displayed in Chaos; only by erupting at full power could it possibly contend with a Saint.
In other words, the Holy Beast Bai Hu merely had to mobilize the power of the Five Directions Five Elements Small World, and Luo Fu would have to erupt at full power just to contend with it.
This was the benefit of having the Heavenly Dao as one's backer.
It must be said that, while situated within a world, Saints and Sub-Saints who hold the authority of the Heavenly Dao possess a truly significant advantage compared to powerhouses of the same level.
Fortunately, the Holy Beast Bai Hu did not mobilize the power of the Five Directions Five Elements Array to suppress Luo Fu all at once.
Otherwise, Luo Fu would likely have found it very difficult to continue testing and would have had to erupt at full power to engage the Holy Beast Bai Hu in battle.
Following the intent of the Holy Beast Bai Hu, the power of the entire Five Directions Five Elements Small World descended upon him in an instant.
He did not use this power to attack, but instead injected it into the Great Dao of Metal that was burning around him.
In an instant, a burst of golden light began to spread outward with the Holy Beast Bai Hu as the center.
Wherever the golden light passed, even space began to solidify.
A large area of space, with the Holy Beast Bai Hu at the center, began to undergo metallization under the infection of the Great Dao of Metal. All other powers were expelled, leaving only the power of the Great Dao of Metal.
Heavy, solid, and dense golden light filled every corner.
Under the oppression of the Great Dao of Metal, the speed of the eight Chaos-colored Great Dao swords began to plummet, as if they had fallen into a quagmire.
And it was more than just a quagmire.
A quagmire still possessed a certain degree of fluidity, but the golden light filling the surroundings was as dense as metal.
The space around the eight Chaos-colored Great Dao swords was completely frozen by the golden light, and even the eight Chaos-colored Great Dao swords themselves began to be frozen.
If it weren't for Luo Fu manipulating the eight Chaos-colored Great Dao swords to continuously bloom with sword light to break through the surrounding golden light, they would have long since been solidified by the golden light.
Exciting sword Qi required the consumption of quite a bit of magic power; continuing to excite it like this was also a not-insignificant consumption for the eight Chaos-colored Great Dao swords.
As for choosing to turn illusory to gain the possibility of traveling through the golden light, that was also not feasible.
The golden light restricted the power of all Great Daos except for the Great Dao of Metal.
The power of the Great Dao of Illusion was also restricted; wanting to activate it also required the consumption of magic power to maintain.
In terms of magic power consumption, it was even greater than the consumption required to excite sword light.
In terms of attributes, the Great Dao of the Sword was relatively restraining toward the Great Dao of Metal.
Furthermore, the Great Dao of the Sword also possessed the power to sever and extinguish Great Daos.
Dealing with this kind of Great Dao blockade, the Great Dao of the Sword was undoubtedly more adept.
Of course, in the current situation, Luo Fu was not without means to cope.
Flash!
The earth-yellow and illusory colors slowly faded from the eight Chaos-colored Great Dao swords, and blinding golden light began to shine on the sword bodies.
Luo Fu was equally adept at the Great Dao of Metal.
Since the surroundings only allowed the existence of the Great Dao of Metal, he would simply replace the Great Dao power on the eight Chaos-colored Great Dao swords with the Great Dao of Metal.
Only, in doing so, the previous methods could no longer be employed.
Originally, Luo Fu hadn't intended to employ them again anyway; this method of transforming between the real and the illusory could only be used once to catch the opponent off guard.
After one time, the opponent would be on guard, and it would be very difficult to succeed again.
Luo Fu had originally expected the Holy Beast Bai Hu to mobilize the power of the Five Directions Five Elements Array to strengthen his own defense and avoid similar things from happening.
He hadn't expected the Holy Beast Bai Hu to choose to pull the firewood from under the cauldron.
He directly summoned the Great Dao of Metal, replacing all the Great Daos in the surroundings.
This method was equivalent to replacing the Heavenly Dao with one's own Dao.
It was originally a means belonging to some powerful Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortals or Heavenly Dao-level powerhouses.
Yet the Holy Beast Bai Hu, relying on the authority of the Heavenly Dao and a massive amount of Heavenly Dao power, had actually achieved a similar effect.
It must be said that this method eliminated, from the root, the possibility of Luo Fu playing any more tricks.
Facing the blockade of the Great Dao of Metal, if Luo Fu still wanted to continue engaging the Holy Beast Bai Hu, there was only one choice: to break through the blockade of the Great Dao of Metal and confront the Holy Beast Bai Hu head-on.
After replacing the Great Dao power on the eight Chaos-colored Great Dao swords with the Great Dao of Metal, the oppression of the surrounding golden light on the Chaos-colored Great Dao swords weakened significantly.
It was only a weakening, not a complete disappearance.
Although the surrounding golden light was transformed by the Great Dao of Metal, it was also filled with the will of the Holy Beast Bai Hu.
Without the permission of the Holy Beast Bai Hu, even if one were equally adept at the Great Dao of Metal, one would still be suppressed.
It was just that compared to other Great Daos, the suppression received by the Great Dao of Metal was relatively smaller.
Of course, if one's insight into the Great Dao of Metal were higher than that of the Holy Beast Bai Hu, one would not be suppressed and could even become the master instead, turning the surrounding golden light to one's own use and conversely restricting the Holy Beast Bai Hu.
If Luo Fu were to reveal his true Great Dao realm, he could achieve this reversal in a single thought.
Although the Holy Beast Bai Hu’s insight into the Great Dao of Metal had broken through the Primordial level, he had achieved this by borrowing the blessing of the Heavenly Dao; it was not that his insight into the Great Dao of Metal had truly broken through to the Primordial level.
Through the authority of the Heavenly Dao, the Holy Beast Bai Hu could directly mobilize the Great Dao of Metal of the Primordial World to bless himself.
This was equivalent to the Heavenly Dao stuffing a complete Great Dao of Metal into the hands of the Holy Beast Bai Hu, leaving it for him to use temporarily.
In other words, regarding the Great Dao realm that had been elevated, the Holy Beast Bai Hu could only be considered an operator, not an owner.
Once the Heavenly Dao withdrew the blessing, the Holy Beast Bai Hu would be instantly knocked back to his original form.
This situation was somewhat similar to those Sub-Saints who held Innate Supreme Treasures.
Within an Innate Supreme Treasure, there was also a complete Great Dao contained.
Refining an Innate Supreme Treasure allowed one to obtain the blessing of the Great Dao.
Of course, it was almost impossible for a Sub-Saint to refine an Innate Supreme Treasure.
Saints and Sub-Saints were different; the Heavenly Dao had already replaced them in completely refining this Innate Supreme Treasure, and they only needed to use it.
Because it was not refined by themselves, the Holy Beast Bai Hu could not exert the full might of this Innate Supreme Treasure.
Otherwise, the Great Dao realm of the Holy Beast Bai Hu would not just be at the level of having just broken through to the Primordial level.
The foundation of the Primordial World was not simple.
Pangu had originally killed all the Chaos Gods and Demons in the vast regions surrounding the Primordial World and then filled them all into the Primordial World.
Having swallowed so many Chaos Gods and Demons, most of the Three Thousand Great Daos of the Primordial World were not merely at the Primordial level.
This was also the reason why the Dao Ancestor Hongjun valued the Primordial World.
The reason the Primordial World was still a Primordial World was because the time it had been born was still very short.
Several thousand Yuanhui might be an extremely long time for the Primordial level, but for a world, it could not be considered long.
Strictly speaking, the current Primordial World was still a newborn world.
Because it was ownerless, the development of Primordial powerhouses was relatively slow.
Coupled with the fact that Dao Ancestor Hongjun, in order to swallow the Heavenly Dao, had deliberately disrupted the balance of Primordial powerhouses, the development of Primordial powerhouses was further slowed.
This had led to the Primordial powerhouses not displaying their might, making it look like an ordinary, underdeveloped Primordial World.
