Chapter 958

In a clash between experts, the one who strikes first is more likely to fall into disadvantage.

Luo Fu has been scheming for so long, waiting for Ancestor Hongjun to lose patience and strike first.

The moment Luo Fu's figure appeared in the Five Directions and Five Elements Small Heaven, Ancestor Hongjun immediately connected with the Five Directional Sacred Beasts.

Moreover, Ancestor Hongjun used his authority over the Heavenly Dao to impose an additional restriction upon the Five Directions and Five Elements Small Heaven.

With this restriction in place, even a Sage could not easily enter or exit the Five Directions and Five Elements Small Heaven within a short time without Ancestor Hongjun's permission.

Ancestor Hongjun's intent was clear: to trap and kill Luo Fu within the Five Directions and Five Elements Small Heaven, thereby forcing out the Chaos Demon God behind Luo Fu.

"You've worked hard—leave the rest to me!"

After appearing within the Five Directions and Five Elements Small Heaven, Luo Fu did not act immediately; instead, he first turned toward Xingtian and the countless Wu Clan warriors.

The clash between Sub-Sages and Sages clearly exceeded the capacity of Xingtian and the countless Wu Clan warriors to endure.

Especially the countless Wu Clan warriors—let alone Sub-Sages and Sages, even a clash between Semi-Sages was too advanced for them.

The previous clash lasted only a short while, yet it inflicted immense psychological pressure upon the countless Wu Clan warriors.

Especially when the Sacred Beast Bai Hu reached out toward the Zhan Tian Great Array, before Luo Fu acted, every one of the countless Wu Clan warriors felt as if they were facing death itself.

The Wu Clan warriors were not afraid of death; dying in battle was the greatest honor.

But the countless Wu Clan warriors absolutely disliked the manner of death they had just experienced.

Like ants, wiped out casually by a mere flick of the hand.

Without much communication with Xingtian, Luo Fu lightly waved his right hand and directly absorbed Xingtian and the countless Wu Clan warriors into the Chaos Pearl.

The coming battle was not suitable for their participation.

Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!

One by one, Daoist swords began to coalesce before Luo Fu.

Almost instantly, the number of Daoist swords before Luo Fu increased to three thousand.

Facing the threat of the Five Directions and Five Elements Great Array, Luo Fu directly activated the strongest state of Eternal Sword Dao.

This also reveals the terrifying nature of the Five Directions and Five Elements Great Array.

The Five Elements rotate, and the Five Directional Heavenly Dao authorities interconnect.

The Five Directional Sacred Beasts who wield the Five Directions and Five Elements Great Array effectively possess partial authority of the Heavenly Dao, their magic power supported by Heavenly Dao power, nearly inexhaustible.

Even Primordial Spirits not yet touching the Hunyuan layer were elevated to the Hunyuan layer under the reinforcement of Heavenly Dao power.

The Five Elements Dao they mastered became even stronger through the mutual rotation of the Five Elements.

With the enhancement of the Five Directions and Five Elements Great Array, the Five Directional Sacred Beasts were now indistinguishable from Sages.

In other words, the Five Directions and Five Elements Great Array was equivalent to a great array formed by five Sages working together.

Moreover, through the power of the Five Elements Dao, the Five Directional Sacred Beasts' powers could perfectly merge into one, each able to freely manipulate all Five Elements.

The combined might of five Sages who master the Five Elements could surpass even the Ten Thousand Buddha Array formed by the Western Two Sages, even with the Heavenly Dao's power invoked.

Three hundred and sixty-five Daoist swords of Eternal Sword Dao were barely enough to counter the Western Two Sages' Ten Thousand Buddha Array alone—far from capable of opposing the Five Directions and Five Elements Great Array.

The reason the three hundred and sixty-five Daoist swords could just now resist the Sacred Beast Bai Hu's attack was because Bai Hu had not used his full strength.

In fact, even three thousand Daoist swords of Eternal Sword Dao might not be enough to oppose the Five Directions and Five Elements Great Array.

Otherwise, Ancestor Hongjun would not have been confident that the Five Directions and Five Elements Small Heaven could trap and kill Luo Fu.

The combined force of five Sages skilled in the Five Elements might not even be resisted by a Hunyuan-level powerhouse.

Luo Fu is ultimately only a Semi-Sage; even if he can use Eternal Sword Dao to erase the gap between himself and the Hunyuan level, he still cannot oppose a true Hunyuan-level powerhouse.

Previously, Luo Fu was able to force the Western Two Sages to their deaths because he was in the Chaos Void, where the Eternal Sword Array severed their connection to the Heavenly Dao.

If the Western Two Sages could draw upon Heavenly Dao power, then Luo Fu, even at the peak of Semi-Sage, could never overcome them.

Now, Luo Fu stands within the Honghuang, the Sacred Beasts' home ground—no force can sever their connection to the Heavenly Dao.

With Heavenly Dao's support, the Five Directional Sacred Beasts can unleash 120 percent of their combat power.

In contrast, Luo Fu's strength is suppressed and weakened by the Heavenly Dao.

The moment he appeared in the Five Directions and Five Elements Small Heaven, Luo Fu felt an invisible shackle fall upon him.

Under this shackle's restriction, Luo Fu's combat power dropped by at least ten percent.

This was only because Luo Fu originated from the Honghuang and was a native of the Honghuang; otherwise, the suppression would have been even greater.

Originally, Luo Fu came from the ordinary world's Honghuang and did not belong to the Journey to the West World—he should have suffered the maximum suppression from the Journey to the West World.

But Luo Fu arrived in the Journey to the West World through the Multiverse Chat Group, and under its protection and concealment, he perfectly integrated into the Journey to the West World.
