Ba Jing Palace.

"The Five Directions and Five Elements Great Array? No wonder the Dao Ancestor—his hidden tricks are truly astonishing. I hope Luo Fu can keep holding on. The timing isn't right yet; it's not time to act."

The Supreme Saint opened his eyes, yin-yang Dao rhythms flowing.

The Five Directions and Five Elements small world, which could block even a Saint's gaze, was crystal clear to him.

Yet the implication in the Supreme Saint's words was even more astonishing.

It seemed the Supreme Saint had long planned to rebel against Ancestor Hongjun.

But he had been waiting for the so-called opportunity, and had not acted yet.

As a Saint, preparing to rebel against Ancestor Hongjun—this alone proves the Supreme Saint is by no means ordinary.

Saints are controlled by the Heavenly Dao, nearly equivalent to its puppets.

For the Supreme Saint to rebel against Ancestor Hongjun, he must first break free from the Heavenly Dao's control.

To have achieved this step, the Supreme Saint's depth is unfathomable.

"The Three Thousand Great Dao Paths—he attained comprehension of all Three Thousand Great Dao Paths while still in the Quasi-Saint Realm, and mastered a sword array that fuses them into one. Who would have thought Luo Fu is also a prodigy? It seems Luo Fu's origins are likely far from ordinary."

Other Saints could not see the scenes within the Five Directions and Five Elements small world, but the Supreme Saint saw them with perfect clarity.

The three thousand Great Dao swords surrounding Luo Fu naturally came into the Supreme Saint's view.

The instant he saw the three thousand Great Dao swords, the Supreme Saint's eyes flashed with shock for the first time.

He could never have imagined that Luo Fu, merely a Quasi-Saint, had comprehended the Three Thousand Great Dao Paths and fused them into one, possessing power capable of slaying Saints.

Of all beings in the Primordial World, besides Ancestor Hongjun, the Supreme Saint knew the most secrets and had some understanding of the Chaotic Void.

To comprehend the Three Thousand Great Dao Paths and fuse them into one while still at the Quasi-Saint layer—

In the entire Chaotic Void, no one else had achieved this.

Luo Fu, who could accomplish this, could truly be called an unparalleled prodigy.

Such a prodigious display made the Supreme Saint realize Luo Fu's origins were likely far greater than he had imagined.

Yin-yang Dao rhythms flowed as the Supreme Saint fixed his gaze on the three thousand Great Dao swords, attempting to peer into their mysteries.

Upon seeing the three thousand Great Dao swords, the Supreme Saint had already realized that in single-Dao comprehension, Luo Fu might still fall short of him—but in Dao fusion, Luo Fu far surpassed him.

As the three thousand Great Dao swords rotated, faint insights welled up in his heart.

The Supreme Saint involuntarily sank once more into Dao enlightenment.

This time, several shadowy figures on the Supreme Saint's body became clearer. One of these shadows even separated entirely from his body and landed beside him.

Gai Jiuyou Underworld.

"The Five Directions and Five Elements Great Array—Ancestor Hongjun's hidden backup, truly powerful. No wonder he's Ancestor Hongjun. But if this is all, Luo Fu should be able to handle it."

Dark-black Dao rhythms swirled in Pingxin Niangniang's eyes; like the Supreme Saint, she had barely pierced Ancestor Hongjun's blockade and seen the interior of the Five Directions and Five Elements small world.

When the Five Directions and Five Elements small world trapped Xing Tian, Pingxin Niangniang knew Luo Fu would act.

Pingxin Niangniang was aware that Luo Fu had left a trick behind for Xing Tian.

Faced with the powerful Five Directions and Five Elements Great Array, Xing Tian could only activate the prearranged method Luo Fu had prepared.

Once Luo Fu's method was triggered, he would surely appear in person.

Moreover, given the strength of the Five Directions and Five Elements Great Array, only Luo Fu himself could handle it properly.

Yet Pingxin Niangniang was not at all worried about Luo Fu.

In the entire Primordial World, she understood Luo Fu best.

Precisely because she understood him, she knew clearly that Luo Fu was powerful—far more powerful than anyone imagined.

The Five Directions and Five Elements Great Array was powerful, yet it could not overcome Luo Fu.

"Soon, soon—the timing is about to arrive!"

Her gaze shifted to the restless Earth Dao, and Pingxin Niangniang murmured involuntarily.

Ancestor Hongjun's backup plans had almost all been exposed. Luo Fu's goal had already been achieved.

With Pingxin Niangniang's wisdom, it was easy to judge: once Luo Fu shattered the Five Directions and Five Elements Great Array and subdued the Five Directional Sacred Beasts, the final battle would inevitably begin.

At that moment, it would be her turn—and the Earth Dao's—to step forward.

After slightly calming the Earth Dao, Pingxin Niangniang's gaze locked once more on the Five Directions and Five Elements small world, waiting for the moment Luo Fu shattered it.
