Chapter 695: Shattering the Array Like Dry Grass and Rotten Wood

Although he was not from this world, that did not prevent him from collecting a little interest for the Jie Sect.

"Break!"

Under Luo Fu's command, the World Sword descended with an unmatched momentum, like a colossal meteor striking down at the Buddha's Pearl Necklace.

Boom!

The immense tip of the sword slammed into the Twenty-Four Heavens Array, unleashing an incalculable force that poured entirely onto the array in an instant.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The dense Buddhist light on the Twenty-Four Heavens Array began to flicker violently, and the mantras swirling around it instantly multiplied several times over, straining to dissipate the incoming force.

Unfortunately, the Dao of the Sword was the most effective method for breaking arrays.

Because the Dao of the Sword could pierce the whole through a single point, concentrating maximum destructive power at one spot.

And the Dao of the Sword was the sharpest Dao in the universe—nothing in heaven and earth could resist its cut, nothing could withstand its break.

With the world as the sword, a single slash carried not only unmatched force but also retained the full sharpness of the Dao of the Sword.

Even more so, it was sharper.

Because the tip of the World Sword was composed of the world's barrier and spatial rifts—objects inherently extremely sharp.

With the Dao of the Sword enhancing it, this sharpness could pierce through the vast majority of things in the world.

The Twenty-Four Heavens Array combined twenty-four Divine Pearl of the Sea's pocket worlds, reinforced by countless devotees' faith; in terms of magic power alone, it could truly be called boundless.

Even the World Sword, formed from thirty-six palm-worlds, could not compare.

Yet the power of the twenty-four pocket worlds had to be distributed across every part of the array, limiting the energy that could be concentrated at any single point.

This was the flaw of the array.

Arrays like the Twenty-Four Heavens Array could gather vast amounts of magic power to unleash tremendous strength—this was their advantage.

But their weakness was that, aside from offense, most arrays could not concentrate all their energy into a single point for defense.

Thus, the Twenty-Four Heavens Array feared most techniques that pierced the whole through a single point.

That is, the World Sword's size was large enough.

Otherwise, the force of the World Sword's strike would have pierced the Twenty-Four Heavens Array instantly upon contact, leaving it no chance to react.

Of course, even now, the Twenty-Four Heavens Array did not hold out long.

Crack!

The sharp tip of the sword, empowered by immense force, directly cracked open a fissure in the Twenty-Four Heavens Array.

Immediately, like dominoes, countless cracks spread outward from that fissure.

Boom—

After barely one breath, the Twenty-Four Heavens Array was ripped apart completely.

The colossal force poured downward unimpeded.

Instantly, the twenty-four Divine Pearls of the Sea forming the array scattered like twenty-four marbles in all directions.

After shattering the Twenty-Four Heavens Array, the World Sword did not slow, continuing relentlessly to crush the surrounding space toward its target.

With the Twenty-Four Heavens Array shattered, the Buddha Randeng, whose spirit was linked to it, suffered severe injury—he grunted, his face paling.

Seeing his Divine Pearls of the Sea flying wildly, Buddha Randeng desperately wanted to recall them immediately—but he dared not.

Because Luo Fu's World Sword was about to strike his head.

The Primordial World had shattered the Twenty-Four Heavens Array; if it landed on him, he would be smashed into pieces.

Buddha Randeng did not believe his body was stronger than the Twenty-Four Heavens Array.

Yet, Buddha Randeng felt no despair, nor did a trace of panic appear on his face.

Clearly, he still had a trump card.

That trump card was, naturally, a Saint's technique.

Facing the descending World Sword with no escape left, Buddha Randeng, with a look of resignation, activated a certain primordial spiritual treasure within him.

Hum!

Instantly, a golden light rose from beneath Buddha Randeng's feet, forming a radiant Buddhist shield that enveloped him completely.

And beneath Buddha Randeng's feet appeared a golden lotus with nine petals.

This lotus was none other than Saint Jieyin's spiritual treasure—the Nine-Petaled Jin Lian.

Luo Fu's strength was so profound that even the Western Two Saints found it unfathomable.

When instructing the Buddha to handle the Journey to the West, the Western Two Saints had bestowed the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree.

Buddha Randeng, tasked with handling the Journey to the West, would inevitably face Luo Fu—how could the Western Two Saints not grant him a spiritual treasure?

The Nine-Petaled Jin Lian was the spiritual treasure bestowed by Saint Jieyin upon Buddha Randeng for protection.

It could shield Buddha Randeng, and at critical moments, even act directly to intervene.

Hum!

Bang!

The colossal World Sword, carrying unmatched force, slammed into the protective shield formed by the Nine-Petaled Jin Lian.

The blow that could have shattered Buddha Randeng's Pearl Necklace merely caused the shield's golden light to ripple slightly before being effortlessly neutralized.

The simultaneous descent of thirty-six palm-worlds could have blasted a colossal crater into the Primordial World itself.

Yet upon the Nine-Petaled Jin Lian's shield, it made no sound—every ounce of force seemed absorbed and instantly dissolved.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After being blocked by the Nine-Petaled Jin Lian, the stable blade of the World Sword began to disintegrate, the thirty-six palm-worlds violently colliding with one another.

Then, one after another, they detonated.

The wild, chaotic energy from the explosions, like a second World Sword, continued pouring onto the Nine-Petaled Jin Lian.

Swish!

As if having anticipated this all along, the Nine-Petal Golden Lotus suddenly radiated beams of Jin Guang.

These Jin Guang carried a pressure like heavenly might, sweeping toward the World-Sword.

Struck by this Jin Guang, the violent energy from the explosions of the thirty-six palm-worlds was instantly silenced.

The violent energy, which should have stirred countless storms, vanished soundlessly within the Jin Guang.

The heavenly might emanating from the Nine-Petal Golden Lotus revealed one thing: the one who had just acted was not Daoist Randeng, but Saint Jieyin.

It was Saint Jieyin who was activating the Nine-Petal Golden Lotus.

The Nine-Petal Golden Lotus was among the strongest defensive primordial spiritual treasures of the Honghuang.

The lotus pedestal itself was an elite defensive artifact.

Among the few elite primordial lotus pedestals, the Nine-Petal Golden Lotus was the most adept at defense.

Though for some reason, it had lost three petals and retained only nine.

But under Saint Jieyin's refinement, the Nine-Petal Golden Lotus had been restored to an elite primordial spiritual treasure, its defensive power only slightly weaker than before.

Even among elite primordial defensive spiritual treasures, the Nine-Petal Golden Lotus's defensive power was formidable.
