Chapter 988

Luo Fu is different this time.

Under the reinforcement of the Three Thousand Great Dao, Luo Fu's Great Vow Dao has broken through to the Hunyuan layer.

The Hunyuan layer Great Vow Dao can now communicate with many ancient beings, borrowing power from them—the Time River is one such example.

Splash!

The Time River flowed, and familiar scenes emerged—those were Luo Fu's past battles.

Soon, the scenes paused at the moment when Luo Fu used the Great Dao Sword Array to inhale and exhale chaotic energy, forcing back the Western Two Saints.

Boom!

The next instant, vast amounts of magic power suddenly surged from the scenes, merging into Luo Fu's greatly shrunken miniature realm around him.

After splitting, the three thousand smaller Great Dao Swords absorbed this magic power and began growing continuously, soon returning to their original size.

Moreover, the radiance on each Great Dao Sword became even more brilliant.

Clearly, the Dao power contained within each Great Dao Sword was now denser than before.

Undeniably, the Great Vow Dao is still extremely useful.

Of course, the Great Vow Dao is not omnipotent.

First, borrowed power must be repaid.

Especially with this loan-like method, every bit of power borrowed must be repaid in the future.

Not only the principal, but also interest must be repaid.

Moreover, even with the Great Vow Dao, one cannot arbitrarily overdraw as much power as desired.

Activating the Great Vow Dao also consumes magic power.

Overdrawing future power is essentially a divine art centered on the Great Vow Dao—performing divine arts naturally requires energy expenditure.

Second, the overdrawn power must be transformed through the Great Vow Dao as a medium.

The more power overdrawn, the greater the pressure on the Great Vow Dao, and the more magic power it must consume accordingly.

There is no possibility of exploiting a bug here.

For example, first using the Great Vow Dao to overdraw a small amount of power, then using that borrowed power to activate the Great Vow Dao and overdraw even more.

The Great Vow Dao is not a credit card—there is no possibility of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

The power overdrawn through the Great Vow Dao carries the aura of the Great Vow Dao and cannot serve as a medium to borrow further power.

This is why Luo Fu did not activate the Great Vow Dao to borrow power from the Time River at the very beginning.

If he had done so then, the amount of power he could have borrowed would have been extremely limited.

After all, Luo Fu's internal magic power was only slightly more than that of a typical peak Pre-Sage.

Luo Fu is not the Western Two Saints, who had the Dao of Heaven open a backdoor for them—even without reaching peak Pre-Sage, they could use the Great Vow Dao to borrow enough merit and fortune to become Sages.

After absorbing part of the power of the Five Directions and Five Elements Array, Luo Fu had accumulated sufficient power.

At this point, the amount of power Luo Fu could overdraw became quite considerable.

As for the cost of overdrawn power, it meant nothing to Luo Fu.

That cost could be repaid by his true body with a mere thought.

Vast quantities of magic power poured in for several breaths.

After absorbing this magic power, Luo Fu began radiating a hint of boundless aura.

This meant Luo Fu's magic power was gradually drawing closer to that of a Sage.

Splash!

Luo Fu's techniques were not over. The Great Vow Dao was merely the beginning.

After activating the Great Vow Dao and borrowing vast power from the Time River, the Time River did not dissipate.

Because the Great Dao Swords surrounding Luo Fu suddenly began radiating the power of the Time Dao.

Invisible temporal ripples transmitted into the Time River.

The next instant, in the upstream section of the Time River—the future segment—three thousand Great Dao Swords slowly coalesced; in the downstream section—the past segment—another three thousand Great Dao Swords also coalesced.

Clearly, Luo Fu was summoning the power of past and future.

Compared to the Western Two Saints, Luo Fu found it relatively easier to summon past and future.

He had long reclaimed his true spirit imprint embedded within the Time River, uniting past and future within himself.

Thus, Luo Fu could freely command his own past and future.

In fact, even without the Time River, Luo Fu could summon his past and future.

Because he had already fished them out from the Time River.

The past three thousand Great Dao Swords and the future three thousand Great Dao Swords, once formed, directly merged with the present three thousand Great Dao Swords.

In an instant, brilliant sword light erupted from the three thousand Great Dao Swords.

Under the illumination of this sword light, the miniature eternal realm that had shrunk greatly and protected Luo Fu began to change.

The miniature eternal realm did not expand—it began gradually shrinking further.

Along with it, the three thousand Great Dao Swords hovering around also began contracting.

Before long, the miniature eternal realm shrank to its extreme limit, and the three thousand Great Dao Swords composing it touched each other.

Under Luo Fu's control, the three thousand mutually touching Great Dao Swords all fused together.

After a moment, an ancient, simple crystal longsword appeared above Luo Fu's head.

Luo Fu opened his right hand, and the ancient crystal longsword descended into his right palm.

Slowly raising his right hand, he gently shook the ancient crystal longsword.

Boom!

Terrifying energy awoke within it.

Depleting a vast amount of magic power, he used the Dao of Time to summon past and future, merging present, past, and future into one.

Then he fused the Three Thousand Daos into one, and the simple crystal longsword that emerged could already be counted as a true primordial supreme treasure.

Moreover, it was forged with the Dao of the Sword as its core, a primordial spiritual treasure capable of nurturing a Sword-like Chaos World.

This was the true World Sword.

A World Sword forged by using the Three Thousand Daos to elevate and refine the Dao of the Sword.

The simple crystal longsword appeared ordinary, but if its blade were magnified, one could see that within it lay three thousand sword-shaped Grand Worlds, each constructed from different Dao forces.

These sword-shaped Grand Worlds, through the power of the Eternal Sword Array, ultimately combined into a single complete Three Thousand Chaos World.

Therefore, if one were to name the simple crystal longsword in Luo Fu's hand, it could be called the Chaos Eternal Open Heaven Sword.

Chaos represents the Three Thousand Daos, Eternal represents the Eternal Sword Array, and Open Heaven signifies that this sword possesses the power to cleave open heaven and earth.
