Chapter 717

Every being capable of surviving within the chaos was incomparably powerful.

Although not every one of them was comparable to the three thousand Demon Gods slain by Pangu, even the weakest Chaos Demon God possessed strength on par with a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

Even a Saint who encountered them would find them extraordinarily troublesome.

If the number of Chaos Demon Gods encountered was more than one, even a Saint faced the risk of falling.

However, the location where Luo Fu and Saint Tongtian were situated was very close to the Primordial World.

Because of Pangu, the stretch of chaos where the Primordial World lay was one that almost no Chaos Demon God dared approach.

Therefore, Luo Fu and Saint Tongtian would not encounter any Chaos Demon Gods.

As for the other dangers within the chaos, with the Chaos Pearl sealing off the surroundings, all of these dangers were blocked by the Chaos Pearl.

Thus, Saint Tongtian could comprehend the Dao within the chaos without any scruple.

As time passed, the sword Qi on Saint Tongtian's body grew increasingly dense; had Luo Fu not isolated all the surrounding space—

The sword Qi on Saint Tongtian's body would have long since stirred up the surrounding chaotic airflow.

And just when Saint Tongtian had been in sudden enlightenment for the twentieth day, the sword Qi on his body finally accumulated to its absolute peak.

Boom!

Crack!

A faint, almost imperceptible sound of shattering rang out; the bottleneck that had long troubled Saint Tongtian was finally broken through in one stroke, thanks to his sudden enlightenment.

A streak of sword Qi, hundreds of millions of zhang tall, rose from Saint Tongtian's body and shot straight into the heavens.

Wherever it passed, all the chaotic airflow was crushed to pieces by the sword Qi.

With the emergence of the sword Qi, an indescribable pressure also appeared on Saint Tongtian's body.

This pressure was not one of terror, but contained a momentum that transcended all things beneath it.

It was extremely similar to the pressure of the Heavenly Dao.

This was the Hunyuan pressure.

Once one broke through to the Hunyuan layer, it meant one's life level had advanced to an entirely new tier.

The pressure that naturally emanated from Saint Tongtian's body was the manifestation of this breakthrough in life level.

Beneath Hunyuan, all are ants.

Because Hunyuan powerhouses and non-Hunyuan powerhouses were entirely two-dimensional beings of different orders.

Saint Tongtian's breakthrough lasted a full quarter of an hour; after successfully completing the breakthrough, Saint Tongtian finally awoke from his sudden enlightenment.

The instant he opened his eyes, a wisp of sword Qi shot out from his gaze; the space before him was immediately split apart by this wisp of sword light, and the edges of the split space were smoother than a mirror.

The Great Dao of the Sword — nothing it cannot sever.

After breaking through to the Hunyuan layer, the Great Dao of the Sword could truly be called capable of severing all things; even the Great Dao itself could be cut apart by the sword Qi of the Great Dao of the Sword.

"Many thanks, little friend. I have not failed the trust you placed in me — I have successfully broken through the Great Dao of the Sword to the Hunyuan realm."

Saint Tongtian withdrew the momentum from his body, looked toward Luo Fu, and bowed slightly, expressing his gratitude to Luo Fu.

Regarding Saint Tongtian's gratitude, Luo Fu had originally intended to stop him; unfortunately, before he could act, Saint Tongtian had already bowed.

He could only accept Saint Tongtian's courtesy.

"Saint Tongtian is too polite. Being able to break through to the Hunyuan realm is the result of your many years of accumulation; I merely gave a small push."

Being able to break through to the Hunyuan realm — Saint Tongtian's accumulation and his comprehension had played a very great role; the inheritance Luo Fu had given was merely a catalyst.

If Saint Tongtian's accumulation had not been deep enough, and his comprehension strong enough to digest the inheritance of the Great Dao of the Sword within the sword Qi, he could not have entered the state of sudden enlightenment and successfully broken through to the Hunyuan realm.

Luo Fu's saying this was not wrong.

Of course, Saint Tongtian's gratitude was also not wrong.

If it had not been for that wisp of sword Qi Luo Fu gave him, with Saint Tongtian's talent, he would sooner or later have been able to break through to the Hunyuan realm.

But the time consumed would inevitably not be short.

A bottleneck, this sort of thing, is often the hardest to break through.

Moreover, for beings of the Primordial World, inheritances of the Great Dao were simply too important.

The reason beings of the Primordial World felt that breaking through to the Hunyuan realm was an impossibly distant prospect — even doubting whether anyone in the Primordial World could break through to the Hunyuan realm—

Was precisely because beings of the Primordial World lacked inheritances related to the Great Dao.

The inheritances they obtained came, in large part, from Ancestor Hongjun.

Most of the inheritances Ancestor Hongjun imparted were almost all incomplete; the most crucial method for breaking through to the Hunyuan realm had been deliberately concealed by him.

If beings of the Primordial World had possessed complete inheritances of the Great Dao, then with the talent of the Three Pure Ones and others, they would certainly not have chosen to become Saints.
