Chapter 959: The Controller of Heaven

This was also why Ancestor Hongjun never suspected Luo Fu was the mastermind behind it all.

As the controller of Heaven's Dao, Ancestor Hongjun could clearly sense the primordial life force on Luo Fu's body.

Moreover, when Luo Fu returned to the Outer Heavens, Ancestor Hongjun had already used Heaven's Dao power to investigate Luo Fu and found no trace of a reincarnated Chaos Demon God's aura.

Since he was not a reincarnated Chaos Demon God, he could only be a pawn of some Chaos Demon God.

As soon as the three thousand Great Dao swords materialized, Luo Fu manipulated them to form the Great Dao Sword Array.

Seven-colored radiance, centered on the three thousand Great Dao swords, coalesced into a sealed realm isolating inside from outside.

Yet the small realm formed by the three thousand Great Dao swords was far smaller than the Five Directions and Five Elements Small Realm, and had not broken through its limitations.

Thus, it was evident that Luo Fu, at the peak of a Semi-Sage, still faced a considerable gap between himself and the Five Sacred Beasts, even with the three thousand Great Dao swords.

There existed a considerable gap.

Of course, the gap was real, but safeguarding himself within the Five Directions and Five Elements Array was still possible.

After all, the Great Dao Sword Array formed by the three thousand Great Dao swords was no inferior to an ordinary Chaos Supreme Jin Xian.

Even if the Five Directions and Five Elements Array was extraordinarily remarkable, it was nearly impossible to suppress a Chaos Supreme Jin Xian not heavily restrained within a short time.

As long as he could hold his ground briefly, that was enough.

Luo Fu chose to act personally not because he expected the Great Dao Sword Array of three thousand Great Dao swords to suppress the Five Directions and Five Elements Array, but because he was equally expert in array arts.

The Five Directions and Five Elements Array was extraordinarily remarkable, not only blending the forces of the Five Elements, but also perfectly activating the Five Directions' Heavenly Dao authority, temporarily boosting the Five Sacred Beasts' power by hundreds of times.

It allowed the merely Sub-Sage Five Sacred Beasts to briefly attain Saint-level combat power.

But the Five Directions and Five Elements Array was an array.

Arrays could greatly amplify a cultivator's power, yet possessed one fatal weakness.

That was, every array had a corresponding method to break it.

Against experts unskilled in array arts, the Five Directions and Five Elements Array could unleash terrifying power.

But against an array master, it was not guaranteed.

As long as one's array art cultivation was sufficient, even without a known breaking method, imposing certain restrictions on the Five Directions and Five Elements Array to prevent it from unleashing its full power was not difficult.

If one mastered the exact breaking method, the mighty Five Directions and Five Elements Array would be as if nonexistent before him.

Arrays draw upon the power of Heaven and Earth.

Once the array is broken, the borrowed Heaven and Earth power dissipates into nothingness.

The Five Directions and Five Elements Array was no ordinary array—it drew upon Heaven's Dao power and Heavenly Dao authority.

Precisely because of this, the Five Directions and Five Elements Array possessed supreme might.

But no matter what power the Five Directions and Five Elements Array borrowed, as long as Luo Fu mastered its breaking method, he could shatter it and reduce the Five Sacred Beasts to their original forms.

Without the amplification of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array, mere Sub-Sages could be crushed effortlessly by Luo Fu, even without revealing his true power.

Array arts—Luo Fu was exceedingly skilled.

Even Ancestor Hongjun's array art cultivation likely could not match Luo Fu's.

The fact that he created the technique to control the three thousand Great Daos reveals Luo Fu's array art mastery.

Encompassing countless Great Daos within a single array was no easy feat.

Know that with his Eternal Sword Dao, Luo Fu could, at will, carve out a world akin to the Primordial Chaos within the Void.

Pangu, a half-step Great Dao-level powerhouse, ultimately perished and transformed his body into Dao to open the Primordial Chaos.

Luo Fu, merely through one divine art, could unify Great Dao power and carve out a world.

Thus, the strength of the Eternal Sword Dao was evident.

The foundation of the Eternal Sword Dao divine art lay in array arts.

Only through array arts could one freely unify Great Dao power.

The Five Directions and Five Elements Array, capable of standing against several Sages, unified only the Five Element Daos.

This alone proved the difficulty of fusing various Great Daos through array arts.

Of course, the reason the Five Directions and Five Elements Array was so powerful lay primarily in its unification of the Five Directions' Heavenly Authority, enabling it to summon terrifying Heaven's Dao power.
