Chapter 956

The chaotic divine demon shadow behind Xingtian also dispersed in an instant.

Losing the reinforcement of the chaotic demon god's shadow, Xingtian's power plummeted to the peak of Virtuous Saint, utterly no match for the Saint Beasts Bai Hu.

Xingtian knew this well; as the chaotic demon god's shadow dissolved, he instantly teleported back into the War Heaven Array.

Roar!

Seeing Xingtian retreat into the War Heaven Array, the Saint Beasts Bai Hu's eyes flickered with a bloodthirsty gleam.

With the reinforcement of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array, the Saint Beasts Bai Hu's power had already broken through to the Saint layer; the War Heaven Array could not possibly block his attack.

Swish!

The sky-obscuring tiger claw lifted lightly, and five massive claw beams shot out toward the War Heaven Array.

Facing this strike from the Saint Beasts Bai Hu, the War Heaven Array had virtually no hope of resistance.

The Saint Beasts Bai Hu, now possessing Saint-level combat power, could easily tear apart the War Heaven Array.

Once the War Heaven Array was torn apart, faced with the bloodthirsty Saint Beasts Bai Hu, the fate of the ten million Wu ancestors would be one: shredded into fragments by the sharp Geng Metal sword qi.

Xingtian and the ten million Wu ancestors were not like Ancestor Minghe, possessing immortality.

Hum!

As the War Heaven Array was about to be torn apart, hundreds of beams of light suddenly shot out from Xingtian's hands.

Upon closer inspection, each of the hundreds of beams of light from Xingtian's hands contained a crystal longsword.

These crystal longswords were precisely Luo Fu's Dao Swords.

To exterminate the Five Directional Saint Beasts, Luo Fu chose to act personally.

Of course, "acting personally" meant only the peak Virtuous Saint Luo Fu—not Luo Fu at full power.

After Luo Fu revealed his Three Thousand Dao Paths and forced the Western Two Saints to their deaths, he was no longer a secret to Ancestor Hongjun.

The Five Directions and Five Elements Array was not easily broken.

The best way to break the Five Directions and Five Elements Array was to use an array to break an array.

On Luo Fu's side, only the Eternal Sword Dao could completely suppress the Five Directions and Five Elements Array.

In addition, the Twelve Capital Wu forming the Twelve Capital Divine Fiend Grand Array can also suppress the Five Directions Five Elements Grand Array.

However, the Twelve Capital Divine Fiend Grand Array can only suppress the Five Directions Five Elements Grand Array, but cannot completely overwhelm it.

Being unable to completely overwhelm the Five Directions Five Elements Grand Array means being unable to suppress the Five Direction Divine Beasts.

If the Five Direction Divine Beasts cannot be suppressed in a short time, the lure-and-ambush strategy will lose its meaning.

Once the Twelve Capital Wu reveal themselves, it can be foreseen that Dao Ancestor Hongjun will surely employ every contingency, sparing no cost to annihilate the Twelve Capital Wu once again.

By comparison, Luo Fu, who has already revealed part of his strength, stepping in to counter the Five Directions Five Elements Grand Array is undoubtedly more appropriate, and will not overly provoke Dao Ancestor Hongjun's already sensitive nerves.

After the Five Direction Divine Beasts appeared, Luo Fu sent three hundred and sixty-five Great Dao Swords into Xingtian's body; they only need to be activated at the critical moment to summon the three hundred and sixty-five Great Dao Swords and resist the attacks of the Five Direction Divine Beasts.

Precisely because he had the three hundred and sixty-five Great Dao Swords as assurance, Luo Fu felt very confident letting Xingtian and the millions of Wu clan warriors go into battle.

Luo Fu is no saint, but he possesses a basic empathy for the weak.

The confrontation between him and Dao Ancestor Hongjun is actually not suitable for Xingtian and the millions of Wu clan warriors to take part in.

Beneath the Saints, all are mere ants.

In direct clashes between Saints, even those at the peak of Quasi-Saint are not really suited to participate.

Let alone the confrontation between Luo Fu and Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

In the eyes of these two, even Saints are nothing more than ants.

Swish!

After the three hundred and sixty-five Dao Swords were activated, the Three Dao Forces within them immediately resonated together.

The next instant, a colorful Dao barrier enveloped the War Heaven Array.

Boom!

The giant claw struck by the Saint Beasts Bai Hu finally landed on the barrier formed by the three hundred and sixty-five Dao Swords.

With the reinforcement of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array, this claw strike carried immense Heavenly Dao force; under the Heavenly Dao force's enhancement, the Jin Zhi Dao became even sharper, capable of tearing even Dao force apart.

Thus, as soon as the claw beam contacted the Dao barrier, the Dao force within it began to be shredded in large quantities.

Yet the Dao forces among the three hundred and sixty-five Dao Swords flowed and circulated among themselves.

If one could not shred all the Dao force in an instant, then through their circulation, the damaged Dao force would recover.

That is to say, if the Dao barrier could not be shattered in an instant, the chance to break it was lost.

As expected, the Dao force torn apart by the claw beam quickly recovered.

Thus, the claw beam became locked in a war of attrition with the three hundred and sixty-five Dao Swords.

The claw beam continuously tore at the Dao force, while the three hundred and sixty-five Dao Swords resonated together and swiftly repaired the torn Dao force.

One surge of strength, then it wanes, then it exhausts.

Repeating this cycle, the claw beam soon lost its edge, faded from its initial power, and was ultimately drowned in the Dao force.

Of course, to resist the claw beam, the three hundred and sixty-five Dao Swords also paid a heavy price.

After the claw beam was extinguished, the glow of the three hundred and sixty-five Dao Swords became extremely dim, as if they had consumed vast amounts of Dao force.

If the Saint Beasts Bai Hu struck again, the three hundred and sixty-five Dao Swords would likely be unable to withstand it.

But this would not happen.

Because Luo Fu's figure had already appeared within the Five Directions and Five Elements Array.

Swish!

As Luo Fu's figure manifested, the three hundred and sixty-five Dao Swords suddenly blazed with light, spreading across the entire Five Directions and Five Elements Array.

Instantly, the Five Directions and Five Elements Small Heaven, already cut off from the outside world, became even more completely sealed.

Those below the peak Virtuous Saint could hardly even glimpse the scenes within the Five Directions and Five Elements Small Heaven.

Luo Fu did not wish for his sudden strike to be seen by too many eyes.

"It really is you. It seems the backup you had behind you has been nearly exhausted. Let me see who stands behind you."

Ancestor Hongjun felt no surprise at Luo Fu's sudden strike.

In Ancestor Hongjun's expectation, the likelihood of Luo Fu acting was very high.

The power of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array is extremely formidable.

Throughout the Honghuang, it is exceedingly difficult to find a method capable of breaking the Five Directions and Five Elements Array.

Before the Divine Investiture War, Saint Tongtian, who wielded the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, had the potential to stand against the Five Directions and Five Elements Array.

But now, Saint Tongtian has lost the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array.

In comparison, Luo Fu, who has mastered the Three Thousand Great Dao and can transform them into Dao Swords, condensing them into a Great Dao Sword Array, is the one most likely to stand against the Five Directions and Five Elements Array.
