Chapter 981

Even if Luo Fu could fully control them, he could barely break through to the Hunyuan layer.

Compared to the Sacred Beast Bai Hu before it received the Five Directions and Five Elements Array's enhancement, Luo Fu had a slight edge.

After receiving the Five Directions and Five Elements Array's enhancement, the Sacred Beast Bai Hu surpassed Luo Fu.

With the Five Directions and Five Elements Array's enhancement, the Sacred Beast Bai Hu could now rival some powerful Sages, and in realm, it firmly held the upper hand over Luo Fu — this was only natural.

Due to the gap in realm, even if Luo Fu converted all the aura from the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords into the Golden Dao, he could not completely negate the suppression from Jin Guang.

Therefore, Luo Fu did not do so.

He merely dispelled the other two Great Daos, retaining only the Sword Dao.

The Sword Dao restrains the Golden Dao.

That was true in hostile circumstances.

If one cultivates both Great Daos simultaneously, the Golden Dao aligns exceptionally well with the Sword Dao.

This alignment was like an unparalleled swordsman obtaining an unparalleled legendary sword.

With the Golden Dao's enhancement, the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords could more easily unleash their sword light, their blades sharper and more capable of effortlessly tearing through the ever-present Jin Guang.

Facing Jin Guang's suppression, Luo Fu could only maneuver the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords to continuously break through the Jin Guang, circling around the Sacred Beast Bai Hu.

Compared to the beginning, the speed of the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords had plummeted drastically — they could now be described as tortoise-slow.

In contrast, the Sacred Beast Bai Hu's speed remained utterly unaffected.

The surrounding Jin Guang was created by the Sacred Beast Bai Hu; naturally, it could not suppress him.

The Sacred Beast Bai Hu primarily cultivated the Golden Dao; after absorbing a portion of the Golden Dao's Changhe River, he became as if he were the embodiment of the Golden Dao itself.

The surrounding Jin Guang was indeed as dense as metal, yet the Sacred Beast Bai Hu moved through it as if swimming in water.

One side was suppressed, suffering an epic weakening, while the other side was not weakened at all — instead, it gained a certain degree of enhancement.

Before the weakening and enhancement, the two had no clear advantage over each other — they were nearly evenly matched.

Under these circumstances, the fate of the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords was nearly sealed.

Luo Fu had foreseen this, so he did not use the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords to attack, but instead maneuvered them along bizarre trajectories, continuously evading.

When the Sacred Beast Bai Hu activated the Five Directions and Five Elements Array, Luo Fu had already achieved his goal.

Maneuvering the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords was merely to continue delaying time.

After fully restricting the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords, the Sacred Beast Bai Hu's paw once again glowed with streaks of cold light.

Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!

He swung four times in succession.

Forty massive dark-golden claw beams shot forth from the Sacred Beast Bai Hu's paws, racing through the Jin Guang like swift swordfish, directly slashing toward the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords.

Facing the greatly suppressed speed of the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords, the Sacred Beast Bai Hu did not even need to predict — he could lock onto their positions instantly.

Wum! Wum! Wum!

As the dark-golden claw beams approached, the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords showed no intention to dodge.

At their current speed, the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords could not possibly evade the unslowed dark-golden claw beams.

Not dodging did not mean not resisting.

As the forty dark-golden claw beams neared, a brilliant golden sword light suddenly erupted — in an instant, Luo Fu commanded the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords to each strike five times.

Each strike severed the Jin Guang's restraint and cleaved through one dark-golden claw beam.

The sharp cold light sliced through — all forty dark-golden claw beams were cleanly split in two.

Sword qi raged within the severed claw beams; within moments, the dark-golden claw beams were utterly dissolved, vanishing into the Jin Guang.

Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!

Yet the Sacred Beast Bai Hu paid no heed, continuing to swing his paws relentlessly.

One after another, dark-golden claw beams surged forward toward the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords.

At the same time, the Sacred Beast Bai Hu's form slowly drew closer to the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords.

In truth, given the current speed of the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords, the Sacred Beast Bai Hu could reach them in an instant with full speed and crush them with a single claw.

Only eight claws would be needed to destroy the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords.

Yet the Sacred Beast Bai Hu chose not to do so — instead, he fired wave after wave of dark-golden claw beams, slowly wearing down the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords.

Clearly, the Sacred Beast Bai Hu was avenging the earlier piercing by the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords.

The eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords, being slowly worn down by the endless stream of dark-golden claw beams, were like insects trapped in a spiderweb, struggling desperately yet unable to escape.

In the end, they could only watch helplessly as they were slowly consumed.

This was precisely the effect the Sacred Beast Bai Hu wanted — since Luo Fu had played tricks, he would return the favor.

But the Sacred Beast Bai Hu did not know that this very action was exactly what Luo Fu desired.

Every move Luo Fu made was to delay time, to gain the chance to decipher a way to break the Five Directions and Five Elements Array.

This slow, wearing-down method happened to maximize the delay.

As the eight Chaotic-colored Great Dao Swords became trapped, Luo Fu abandoned them entirely.
