Chapter 1028: Usurping the Primordial! Ancestor Hongjun Enters the Arena Himself!

Therefore, Pingxin Niangniang was extremely eager to witness Luo Fu's creative abilities.

She had a premonition that her chance to attain the Hunyuan layer might rest upon Luo Fu.

······

Jin Ao Island.

"No wonder Luo Fu could gain the support of the Wu Clan—resurrecting the Twelve Ancestral Wus is such a great favor that the entire Wu Clan would die for him. But the appearance of the Twelve Ancestral Wus will surely provoke Ancestor Hongjun; it seems the final battle is about to begin."

Compared to the other Saints, Saint Tongtian experienced less shock.

On Luo Fu, he had seen too many impossible things; compared to those, the resurrection of the Twelve Ancestral Wus meant nothing.

Rather, Saint Tongtian was more concerned with when he himself would get the chance to act.

When he had just observed the Five Directions and Five Elements Small Heaven, Saint Tongtian clearly sensed the aura of the Dao of Sword at the Hunyuan layer, making him even more eager to draw his blade.

He wanted to test how sharp his sword had become after breaking through to the Hunyuan layer.

This time, Saint Tongtian was not in a hurry.

Because he knew that with the appearance of the Twelve Ancestral Wus, the moment Ancestor Hongjun would personally intervene could not be far off.

The Pangu Body summoned by the Twelve Ancestral Wus was an absolute provocation to Ancestor Hongjun.

The reason the Twelve Ancestral Wus originally perished was closely tied to their mastery of the Twelve Heavenly Divine Calamity Array, which could summon the Pangu Body.

Pangu was the true master of the Primordial World.

For Ancestor Hongjun, who sought to usurp the Primordial World, anything connected to Pangu would stir his nerves.

It was like a thief breaking into another's home—any sound within it was a provocation to him.

Not to mention sounds connected to the true master.

The appearance of the Twelve Ancestral Wus marked the moment this great war would enter its most critical phase.

Saint Tongtian knew that Luo Fu also understood this.

Since Luo Fu chose to summon the Twelve Ancestral Wus, it meant he had prepared for the final battle.

Once the final battle began, he too would have his chance to act.

Thus, Saint Tongtian was no longer in a hurry.

······

Bajing Palace.

"The Twelve Ancestral Wus? Luo Fu actually resurrected the Twelve Ancestral Wus—this variable is truly unexpected. I never thought he could go this far; it seems the time has come."

The appearance of the Twelve Ancestral Wus and the Twelve Heavenly Divine Calamity Array woke even Supreme Tai Shang from his enlightenment.

Supreme Tai Shang had not anticipated that Luo Fu had prepared such a surprise.

Undeniably, Luo Fu's actions had repeatedly surpassed Supreme Tai Shang's expectations.

The appearance of the Twelve Ancestral Wus and the Twelve Heavenly Divine Calamity Array, combined with the Five Directional Sacred Beasts being suppressed, caused Supreme Tai Shang to reconsider his plans.

In Supreme Tai Shang's original plan, this moment was not yet the time for him to act.

But the resurrection of the Twelve Ancestral Wus changed Supreme Tai Shang's mind.

Because the resurrection of the Twelve Ancestral Wus would greatly provoke Ancestor Hongjun.

This provocation was not merely due to the resurrection itself.

The true potential provocation to Ancestor Hongjun lay in the hidden meaning behind the resurrection of the Twelve Ancestral Wus.

If the Twelve Ancestral Wus could be resurrected, could other fallen heroes also be revived?

Many of the heroes who perished in the ancient or primordial eras were no ordinary beings—many were Heaven Dao level.

Once they returned, they would bring immense upheaval.

Beyond that, what Ancestor Hongjun feared most was this: if the Twelve Ancestral Wus could be resurrected, what of Pangu?

Could Pangu also be resurrected?

This was the greatest fear of Ancestor Hongjun.

If the Chaos Divine Demons behind Luo Fu merely troubled Ancestor Hongjun,

Then Pangu would fill him with terror—deep, soul-deep terror.

Ancestor Hongjun was merely one of the few survivors of Pangu's ancient battle against the three thousand Chaos Divine Demons.

Had he not been lucky, Ancestor Hongjun would have perished long ago beneath Pangu's hand.

Before Pangu, Ancestor Hongjun had not a shred of courage.

Even with complete mastery of the Heaven Dao, Ancestor Hongjun still lacked courage.

The Primordial World was opened by Pangu; Pangu was its true master.

Compared to Pangu, the true master, Ancestor Hongjun was merely a thief.

How could a thief muster the courage to face his master?

Especially when that master was far stronger than Ancestor Hongjun.

Precisely because of this fear, Ancestor Hongjun had long been monitoring all remnants of Pangu.

The greatest reason he granted the Three Pure Ones their Saintly positions stemmed from this.

The Three Pure Ones were formed from fragments of Pangu's Primordial Spirit, imbued with Pangu's will.

Had the Heaven Dao not forbidden it, Ancestor Hongjun would have already slain the Three Pure Ones.

He granted them Saintly positions solely to bind and control them.

After binding the Three Pure Ones with their Saintly positions, the entity Ancestor Hongjun most feared became the Wu Clan.

Especially the Twelve Ancestral Wus—through the Twelve Heavenly Divine Calamity Array, they summoned the Pangu Body, making Ancestor Hongjun dread them all the more.

This incident became the most direct catalyst for the downfall of the Twelve Ancestral Wus.

Although the Pangu Body summoned by the Twelve Ancestral Wus contained only a trace of Pangu's residual power lingering in their bloodline, it was worlds apart from the true Pangu Body.

But that still belonged to Pangu's power.

No one could guarantee that as the Twelve Ancestral Wushen increased in strength, they wouldn't summon more of Pangu's power.

Even awaken Pangu's will.

Thus, Ancestor Hongjun conspired with the Two Western Saints to scheme against the Twelve Ancestral Wushen.

In fact, Buzhou Mountain was also deliberately caused to collapse by Ancestor Hongjun, prompting the Twelve Ancestral Wushen to crash into it.

For Buzhou Mountain contained the residual pressure left behind by Pangu.

To Ancestor Hongjun, any power of Pangu posed a potential danger and must be erased.

If not for the fact that Hou Tian's avatar became the Six Paths of Reincarnation, embodying the Earth Dao, which was vital to the stability of the Primordial World.

Under Lady Pingxin's command, the Wu clan swiftly retreated into the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Lady Pingxin and the entire Wu clan would likely have been erased by Ancestor Hongjun.

At this moment, Ancestor Hongjun is at a critical juncture of controlling the Heavenly Dao; he will absolutely not permit anything beyond his control to arise in the Primordial World.

The Pangu power held by the Twelve Ancestral Wushen is, for Ancestor Hongjun, undoubtedly the greatest destabilizing factor.

Faced with such a destabilizing factor, Ancestor Hongjun is highly likely to act personally.

For the Supreme Saint Taishang, this is the best opportunity—and the last.

According to the Supreme Saint Taishang's original plan, his moment to act should have come after the end of the Journey to the West Calamity.

The Journey to the West Calamity is the final confrontation between Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao; once the Journey to the West Calamity concludes successfully, Ancestor Hongjun will fully overpower the Heavenly Dao and formally dominate the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao.
