Chapter 601: The Primordial Eternal Heaven-Opening Sword

Sensing the aura coming from the Primordial Eternal Heaven-Opening Sword, a look of solemnity appeared in the eyes of the Holy Beast Bai Hu.

He had to admit that he had somewhat underestimated Luo Fu.

If the Luo Fu from before posed no threat at all to him, who had the blessing of the Five Directions Five Elements Array.

Then the current Luo Fu was already enough to pose a threat to him, and even to the Five Directions Five Elements Array.

From the Primordial Eternal Heaven-Opening Sword in Luo Fu’s hand, the Holy Beast Bai Hu felt an extremely strong sense of oppression.

It was as if what Luo Fu was holding in his hand was not a sword, but a world.

And the facts were indeed so; what Luo Fu was holding in his hand was a world.

"Bai Hu, do we need to take action? This Luo Fu is not simple, especially that sword in his hand; it gives off a very strong sense of threat."

The voice of the Holy Beast Qing Long suddenly rang out in the mind of the Holy Beast Bai Hu.

As the leader of the five Holy Beasts, the Holy Beast Qing Long was relatively much more steady. He did not have the desire that the Holy Beast Bai Hu had to enjoy the battle to the fullest.

Therefore, upon sensing the threat from Luo Fu, the Holy Beast Qing Long wanted to take action to help the Holy Beast Bai Hu suppress Luo Fu as quickly as possible.

"I have sensed it too. However, it is not needed; I can handle it alone. Give me some more time."

Facing the inquiry of the Holy Beast Qing Long, the Holy Beast Bai Hu chose to refuse directly.

This was his battle, and unless it was a last resort, he would not allow others to intervene.

The Primordial Eternal Heaven-Opening Sword in Luo Fu’s hand did indeed give the Holy Beast Bai Hu a looming sense of threat.

But it was only a threat; compared to the Five Directions Five Elements Array, there was still a not-insignificant gap. The Holy Beast Bai Hu still had the confidence to suppress Luo Fu completely.

"Alright, then be careful. If you sense any accidents, we will take action at any time."

Hearing the refusal of the Holy Beast Bai Hu, the Holy Beast Qing Long did not insist.

Less than a quarter of an hour had passed since Dao Ancestor Hongjun had sent the order to suppress Luo Fu; they still had enough time.

Since the Holy Beast Bai Hu wanted to solve it alone, then let him solve it alone.

In any case, there was still plenty of time, and with them standing guard, if any accident really happened, they could also take action in time to make up for it.

After answering the Holy Beast Qing Long, the Holy Beast Bai Hu’s gaze locked onto Luo Fu once again; in his massive tiger eyes, there was no longer a trace of contempt, and the intense fighting spirit had also been suppressed.

Clearly, under the threat of the Primordial Eternal Heaven-Opening Sword, the Holy Beast Bai Hu had already regained his reason.

With a slight stir of his mind, the Holy Beast Bai Hu did not directly attack Luo Fu, but instead retracted the golden light that was still spreading outward.

After regaining his reason, the Holy Beast Bai Hu realized the stupidity of condensing such vast golden light.

Although this golden light could exert a certain degree of suppression on the opponent, the consumption was too immense.

Most importantly, Luo Fu was also adept at the Great Dao of Metal.

Using the Great Dao of Metal to suppress someone who was also adept at the Great Dao of Metal was very unwise.

In a situation where the gap in realm was not large, the effect this method could have was limited, while the consumption was indeed massive.

Unless the gap in realm was extremely large, Great Dao suppression would not be useful.

For example, a Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse adept at the Great Dao of Metal versus a Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal adept at the Great Dao of Metal.

Then the Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse could, in a single thought, deprive the opponent of their control over the Great Dao through Great Dao suppression.

Between powerhouses of the same rank, the gap in Great Dao insight would not be too large; with the Great Daos canceling each other out, the effect Great Dao suppression could have would be negligible.

However, the surrounding golden light was not dispersed by the Holy Beast Bai Hu.

Instead, it was directly fused into the body of the Holy Beast Bai Hu.

Under the irrigation of a massive amount of the Great Dao of Metal, every part of the Holy Beast Bai Hu’s body began to undergo metallization.

In other words, the Holy Beast Bai Hu was relying on a massive amount of the Great Dao of Metal to forcibly transform himself into a True Spirit of the Great Dao of Metal.

The so-called True Spirit of the Great Dao of Metal meant that one’s own self was completely Great Dao-ized, thoroughly fused with the Great Dao as one; from then on, one was the Great Dao, and the Great Dao was oneself.

This realm was generally possessed only by Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortals.

One of the most important conditions for wanting to break through to a Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal was to completely master a Great Dao.

Completely mastering a Great Dao allowed one to directly ingest the Great Dao into one’s body.

Or rather, to nurture a Great Dao within one’s body.

For example, a Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal who had gained insight into the Great Dao of Metal could condense a Great Dao of Metal within their own body, possessing a Great Dao River of Metal unique to themselves.

After breaking through to become a Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal, if one did not intend to gain insight into other Great Daos, one could choose to fuse thoroughly with the Great Dao of Metal within one’s body, thoroughly becoming the embodiment of the Great Dao.

This state was called the True Spirit of the Great Dao of Metal.

To be a True Spirit of the Great Dao, one had to be at least a Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal.

One had to become a Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal to master a Great Dao, to fuse with it, and to become a True Spirit of the Great Dao.

Once one became a True Spirit of the Great Dao of Metal, one’s body would be filled with Great Dao power; with a wave of one’s hand, Great Dao power would flow, allowing one to better exert the power of the Great Dao.

More importantly, as long as one became a True Spirit of the Great Dao of Metal, as long as the Great Dao power within one’s body was not worn down to nothing, one would not die.

As long as there was a trace of Great Dao power, a Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal who had become a True Spirit of the Great Dao of Metal would be immortal.

Although a Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal could not compare to a Saint, who could almost achieve immortality and indestructibility and could be resurrected even if they fell, a Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal also possessed the concept of immortality and indestructibility.

Compared to a Sub-Saint powerhouse, the vitality of a Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal was billions of times stronger.

To kill a Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal, especially one who had chosen to become a True Spirit of the Great Dao, if the gap in realm was not extremely large, one had to suppress them and wear them down bit by bit.

The Holy Beast Bai Hu was only a Sub-Saint and originally could not have become a True Spirit of the Great Dao of Metal.

But borrowing the power of the Five Directions Five Elements Array, the Great Dao power the Holy Beast Bai Hu gathered was massive, and even the Great Dao River of Metal could be torn apart and swallowed into his body.

It was a case of "force produces miracles."

Under the irrigation of a massive amount of Great Dao power, the Holy Beast Bai Hu temporarily transformed his entire body into a body of the Great Dao of Metal.

It could be considered that he had temporarily become a True Spirit of the Great Dao of Metal.

It was only temporary, not permanent.

As long as he lost the blessing of the Five Directions Five Elements Array, the Holy Beast Bai Hu would be instantly knocked back to his original form.

For the Holy Beast Bai Hu, temporarily becoming a True Spirit of the Great Dao of Metal was enough.

After all, Luo Fu also only temporarily possessed Saint-level combat power by relying on the Primordial Eternal Heaven-Opening Sword.

Once the Great Dao power within the Primordial Eternal Heaven-Opening Sword was exhausted, Luo Fu would be knocked back to his original form.

Not only that, Luo Fu also had to repay the power he had just borrowed.

After transforming into a True Spirit of the Great Dao of Metal, the Holy Beast Bai Hu looked as if he had been cast from metal, and his entire body radiated an aura of solidity and immortality.
