Chapter 967

The Dao of Sword belongs to the acquired Dao; under normal circumstances, it requires the myriad spirits of the world to continuously comprehend and deduce before it can be fully perfected.

The Dao of Metal is merely a foundational Dao, while the Dao of Sword is relatively more advanced.

Therefore, the power of the Dao of Sword is significantly stronger than that of the Dao of Metal, second only to the Five Elements Dao.

After being amplified by the Three Thousand Daos, the Dao of Sword within the chaotic-colored Dao-sword still broke through to the Hunyuan layer.

It is no less potent than the Dao of Metal mastered by the Sacred Beast Bai Hu.

With similar Great Dao Realm levels, the Three Thousand Daos, possessing greater power, undoubtedly holds the upper hand; it is no surprise that it tore through the defense of the Dao of Metal.

Using the recoil force, the Sacred Beast Bai Hu slightly retreated, withdrawing its tiger paw.

It completely dissipated the force rebounding from the chaotic-colored Dao-sword, and the dents on its tiger paw were also repaired.

Rip—~

Immediately after dissipating the recoil force, the Sacred Beast Bai Hu struck again; its golden claw shot out like lightning, grabbing for the chaotic-colored Dao-sword.

Sizzle—~

The sharp claw-tips struck the chaotic-colored Dao-sword, leaving five long gashes.

Moreover, the Sacred Beast Bai Hu continuously poured heavenly dao energy into its golden claw, attempting to pierce the sharp claw-tips directly into the chaotic-colored Dao-sword and seize it in its grasp.

The chaotic-colored Dao-sword was no pushover.

Dreamlike radiance flowed; the chaotic-colored Dao-sword began to grow ethereal, and in the instant before the claw-tips pierced its blade, it vanished like a bubble.

Flash!

The next moment, five streaks of light swept across the tiger's paw.

Crack!

The aura of the Dao of Sword erupted; the Sacred Beast Bai Hu's five fingers were silently severed.

The cut surfaces were perfectly smooth.

Recall that after devouring the Dao River, the Sacred Beast Bai Hu's entire body was saturated with the Dao of Metal, and its fingers were sheathed in a layer of golden armor condensed from the Dao of Metal.

Even so, the Sacred Beast Bai Hu's five fingers were severed by the chaotic-colored Dao-sword.

The chaotic-colored Dao-sword did not merely sever five fingers—it severed the Dao of Metal itself.

This is the terrifying nature of heavenly dao energy.

All things under heaven and earth can be cut.

At the level of cultivation, whether mountains, spiritual treasures, rivers, oceans, fire, space, cause and effect, even time, dao, or fate—all can be severed in a single sword-stroke.

Under heavenly dao energy, nothing is uncuttable.

If something cannot be cut, it is merely because one's comprehension of heavenly dao energy is insufficient.

The five streaks of light were not the chaotic-colored Dao-sword splitting into five; rather, it had struck five times within an extreme span of time.

After severing the five tiger claws, the chaotic-colored Dao-sword reappeared.

Hum!

Without pause, the chaotic-colored Dao-sword nearly swallowed terrifying sword light, like a streak of light, continuing its slash toward the Sacred Beast Bai Hu.

Having just severed the Sacred Beast Bai Hu's five tiger claws, the blade of the chaotic-colored Dao-sword had already grown somewhat dim.

Clearly, severing the five tiger claws consumed considerable energy from the chaotic-colored Dao-sword.

This is also why the chaotic-colored Dao-sword did not directly sever the Sacred Beast Bai Hu's entire paw—only the claws.

Had it targeted the paw, the chaotic-colored Dao-sword likely could not have severed it.

The paw, saturated with immense heavenly dao energy, was extraordinarily resilient.

To sever it would require vast amounts of dao energy.

For the chaotic-colored Dao-sword, such a cost would be excessive.

Luo Fu currently lacks magic power most of all.

Even merely severing the Sacred Beast Bai Hu's five tiger claws consumed a significant amount of magic power.

Yet Luo Fu paid no heed; he continued to manipulate the chaotic-colored Dao-sword and launched further attacks against the Sacred Beast Bai Hu.

The best defense is offense.

By attacking proactively, Luo Fu could control the consumption of the chaotic-colored Dao-sword.

Passive defense would not work—the Sacred Beast Bai Hu does not lack magic power.
