Chapter 955: The Great Dao River, the Five Sacred Beasts Appear Together

This was why Ancestor Hongjun valued the Five Sacred Beasts.

This was also why Ancestor Hongjun paid no heed to Luo Fu's hidden moves.

To Ancestor Hongjun, the power of the Primordial World was limited.

Sub-Saint-level power was still attainable, but Saint-level power was not so easily obtained.

The Primordial World had, at most, seven Saint-level powers.

Even if Luo Fu were masterful at manipulation, he could sway at most Lady Pingxin and Saint Tongtian—these two Saints.

With only two Saints, breaking the Five Directions Five Elements Array would still be difficult.

This meant that once the Five Sacred Beasts formed the Five Directions Five Elements Array, the situation would instantly reverse.

Either Luo Fu accepts his fate and abandons Xingtian, Ancestor Minghe, and the millions of Wu Clan warriors,

or he must deploy an even stronger hidden move to shatter the Five Directions Five Elements Array.

An even stronger hidden move, in Ancestor Hongjun's view, was nearly impossible to find in the Primordial World.

Such a move could come from only one place: Chaos.

If Luo Fu used the power of Chaos, Ancestor Hongjun could trace its origin and uncover the Chaos Demon God hiding behind Luo Fu.

Though Ancestor Hongjun cared nothing for his subordinates' victories or defeats, he was still intrigued by outmaneuvering Luo Fu.

To return a favor is proper etiquette.

Since Luo Fu used an open strategy to scheme against him, he naturally must respond in kind.

Hum!

With the arrival of the Five Directions Five Elements Array's Sacred Beast Xuanwu, each of the Five Sacred Beasts glowed with a distinct radiance.

Behind the Five Sacred Beasts appeared five great rivers of Dao—gold, wood, water, fire, earth—each of a different color.

Along with them descended the authority of the Five Directions of Heaven and Earth.

The Sacred Beast Qinglong governed the East, mastering the Wood Dao; the Sacred Beast Zhu Que governed the South, mastering the Fire Dao; the Sacred Beast Bai Hu governed the West, mastering the Jin Zhi Dao; the Sacred Beast Xuanwu governed the North, mastering the Water Dao.

The final Sacred Beast, Beginning Qilin, governed the Center, mastering the Earth Dao.

Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth began to resonate, and the Five Heavenly Authorities responded to one another.

Ancestor Minghe's Blood Sea could not obstruct this unseen resonance.

The five great Dao rivers linked together, forming a single, far vaster Dao river.

The mutually generating and restraining gold, wood, water, fire, and earth flowed between each other; their qi expanded dozens of times in an instant.

The Five Heavenly Authorities also connected at this moment.

In an instant, whether Xingtian, Ancestor Minghe, or the millions of Wu Clan warriors, all felt as if an invisible force had crushed their bodies.

The next moment, a seven-colored circular barrier, centered on the Five Sacred Beasts, spread outward, engulfing Xingtian and Ancestor Minghe entirely.

In the instant the circular barrier enclosed them, the Void portals above the Western Continent of Cattle Worship shattered simultaneously.

The Five Directions Five Elements Array had the power to sever space; the Void portals above the Western Continent of Cattle Worship had been formed by Ancestor Minghe using the Two Worlds Mountain.

Ancestor Minghe himself was not skilled in the Space Dao and could not break through the Five Directions Five Elements Array's barrier using Space Dao.

Without the Void portals, Ancestor Minghe's Blood Sea became a source without roots.

This was Ancestor Minghe's greatest weakness.

Ancestor Minghe, who controlled the Blood Sea's origin, effectively possessed a Heavenly Authority akin to Sub-Saint status.

Yet the Heavenly Authority Ancestor Minghe wielded was confined to the Yinming Blood Sea.

The Yinming Blood Sea was not Heaven's Dao; it could not extend his power to every corner of the Primordial World.

Worse still were the millions of Wu Clan warriors: under the invisible pressure of Heaven's power, each felt as if a great mountain had crushed their bodies, their breath and blood flow nearly frozen.

Though the Battle Heaven Array blocked part of the Five Directions Five Elements Array's suppression, this suppression originated from the Five Heavenly Authorities, and the Battle Heaven Array could block only a tiny fraction.

The Five Directions Five Elements Array was an array capable of suppressing Saints; the Wu Clan warriors were far too weak to participate meaningfully.

Due to the Five Directions Five Elements Array's suppression, the millions of Wu Clan warriors could barely maintain the Battle Heaven Array, leaving them unable to channel much battle intent to Xingtian.

The chaotic demon shadow behind Xingtian was gradually dissolving.

In no time, Xingtian would likely lose his Sub-Saint power and be at the mercy of the Five Sacred Beasts.

As the circular barrier fully solidified, Xingtian and Ancestor Minghe were completely cut off from the outside world.

The Five Heavenly Authorities resonated with each other, coalescing into a miniature realm.

Shh!

The five-colored radiance flowed, and the Five Directions Five Elements miniature realm began to grow ethereal.

The next moment, the Five Sacred Beasts, along with the Five Directions Five Elements miniature realm and the trapped Xingtian and Ancestor Minghe, vanished from the Western Continent of Cattle Worship.

When the Five Directions Five Elements miniature realm reappeared, its surroundings had become the Outer Heavens.

The space of the Three Realms was unstable, unsuitable for battles between Saint-level powers.

Had either side not restrained themselves in the prior battle, the Western Continent of Cattle Worship would likely have been half-destroyed already.

The Five Sacred Beasts were the guardians of Heaven and Earth; they could not permit the destruction of the world.

Thus, they directly used the Five Heavenly Authorities to transport the Five Directions Five Elements miniature realm to the Outer Heavens.

Within the Outer Heavens, no longer needing to worry about damaging the surroundings, the Five Directions Five Elements Array's power further unleashed.

Sssss~

The Five Elements clashed, generating a terrifying annihilating force that swept toward the Blood Sea.

What seemed a vast Blood Sea was instantly annihilated, along with Ancestor Minghe himself.

Of course, what was annihilated here was only Ancestor Minghe's avatar, not his true body.

As long as the Blood Sea does not dry, Ancestor Minghe cannot die.

Even if slain outside, Ancestor Minghe was exceedingly difficult to truly perish.

Because the Ancestor Minghe only sends out his clones when traveling in the outside world.

Although his true body has not perished, the Ancestor Minghe still suffered considerable losses.

To counter the Holy Beast Zhu Que, the Ancestor Minghe summoned a large number of Blood Spirit Sons to form the Blood Sea Array capable of trapping the Holy Beast Zhu Que.

Fortunately, the Ancestor Minghe knew he was merely bait, and had left a portion of his origin within the Yinming Blood Sea among the summoned Blood Spirit Sons.

These fallen Blood Spirit Sons need only absorb the Blood Sea's power on their own to fully recover, requiring no reformation by the Ancestor Minghe.

Yet their recovery will take considerable time—at least ten thousand years.

After dealing with the Ancestor Minghe, all the power of the Five Directions Five Elements Array fell upon Xingtian and the millions of Wu Clan warriors behind him.

Under the overwhelming pressure of the Five Directions Five Elements Small World, the Battle Heaven Array's power was compressed to near nothing, retaining only a faint defensive function, barely preventing the millions of Wu Clan warriors from being crushed by the Five Directions Five Elements Small World's force.
