Chapter 1118

Unexpectedly, this backup left by Ancestor Hongjun was actually used.

Faced with Ancestor Hongjun's overwhelming, heavenly aura, the few sword qi Luo Fu casually slashed out were heavily suppressed, their brilliance dimming instantly.

The Twelve Yuan Chen were only at Quasi-Saint mid-stage, and themselves suffered severe backlash, barely able to wield the Time Dao.

Thus, Luo Fu's strike was extremely casual.

In Luo Fu's view, his casual blow alone was enough to kill Yuan Chen Tianjun.

But Luo Fu never expected that, at the critical moment, Ancestor Hongjun's power suddenly appeared.

The blow Luo Fu casually slashed out could not withstand the pressure of Ancestor Hongjun's aura.

Boom!

The twelve sword qi struck the barrier, emitting only a faint, almost imperceptible impact sound before dissolving into the air.

It did not shake the barrier in the slightest.

Ultimately, Luo Fu's sword qi failed to harm the Twelve Yuan Chen.

Seeing the barrier that appeared on the Twelve Yuan Chen, Luo Fu did not strike again.

Because he knew that once Ancestor Hongjun's lingering power was triggered, Ancestor Hongjun would surely be alerted.

Luo Fu guessed correctly.

At the very moment the lingering power was activated, Ancestor Hongjun, deep within the Primordial World, sensed it.

"What's going on? My backup on the Twelve Yuan Chen was triggered, yet they were defeated?"

After ordering the Twelve Yuan Chen to act, Ancestor Hongjun immediately entered seclusion, fully suppressing the Dao of Heaven, which had been stirred awake by Pangu's aura.

Suppressing the Dao of Heaven was more important than dealing with Luo Fu or the Twelve Ancestral Wushen.

Only when Saint Tongtian revealed his Hunyuan-layer Sword Dao did Ancestor Hongjun divert a portion of his attention to convey his orders to Saint Taishang and the others.

After that, Ancestor Hongjun paid no further attention.

In truth, the clash between the Twelve Yuan Chen and Luo Fu and others lasted no long—roughly only a few dozen breaths.

Especially the exchange between Luo Fu and Yuan Chen Tianjun, which lasted less than ten breaths.

Most of their clash occurred across other temporal dimensions.

Even if they clashed billions of times, only an instant had passed in reality.

In such a short time, Ancestor Hongjun had barely begun suppressing the Dao of Heaven's consciousness and had no chance to pay attention to the Twelve Yuan Chen.

Yet Ancestor Hongjun never imagined that, after such a brief moment, the Twelve Yuan Chen had already fallen to Luo Fu.

Scanning the entirety of the Heavenly Outside with his perception, Ancestor Hongjun's gaze finally settled on the Chaos Pearl behind Luo Fu.

"Chaos spiritual treasure? How is this possible? How could a Quasi-Saint possess and wield a Chaos spiritual treasure? Could Luo Fu truly be a hidden reincarnated Chaos Divine Demon, with no one behind him?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Ancestor Hongjun's mind, and he instantly locked onto one possibility.

Saint Taishang and the others could not recognize the Chaos Pearl as a Chaos spiritual treasure, but Ancestor Hongjun recognized it.

Ancestor Hongjun had once encountered Chaos spiritual treasures and even possessed half of one himself.

The Dao of Heaven Jade Disc counted as half a Chaos spiritual treasure.

Thus, Ancestor Hongjun was not unfamiliar with the aura of Chaos spiritual treasures.

He obtained the Dao of Heaven Jade Disc because, at the time of the Primordial World's birth, countless spiritual treasures were unclaimed, and he was lucky enough to accidentally acquire the Dao of Heaven Jade Disc.

He could wield the Dao of Heaven Jade Disc before proving his Hunyuan realm because his former self was a Dao of Heaven-level powerhouse.

Dao of Heaven-level powerhouses inherently possessed the qualification to fully refine Chaos spiritual treasures.

Though limited by his own realm, before restoring to Dao of Heaven-level, Ancestor Hongjun could not fully refine the Dao of Heaven Jade Disc, but he could still refine part of it and wield a portion of its power.

He could do so because he was a reincarnated Dao of Heaven-level Chaos Divine Demon.

How Luo Fu obtained the Chaos spiritual treasure aside, it was nearly impossible for a mere Quasi-Saint to wield a Chaos spiritual treasure.

A Quasi-Saint wielding a Primordial Supreme Treasure was already extremely rare.

Even if Luo Fu mastered the Three Thousand Daos, wielding a Chaos spiritual treasure was still nearly impossible.

Between Quasi-Saint and Dao of Heaven-level, there were two full major realms separating them.

And the gap between each realm was like an abyss.

Under normal circumstances, even a peak Quasi-Saint could not, let alone wield a Chaos spiritual treasure—merely a trace of its released aura would crush him.

Ancestor Hongjun could wield the Dao of Heaven Jade Disc because it was damaged, making it only half a Chaos spiritual treasure, still within the category of Primordial Supreme Treasures, greatly reducing the difficulty of wielding it.

Halfway to Dao of Heaven-level and Dao of Heaven-level were entirely different concepts.

The Chaos Pearl was different from the Dao of Heaven Jade Disc; Ancestor Hongjun could see that the Chaos Pearl was a complete Chaos spiritual treasure.

With all possibilities converging, only one remained: Luo Fu was a deeply hidden reincarnated Chaos Divine Demon.

As for whether the Chaos Pearl was lent to him by a Chaos Divine Demon behind him, that was nearly impossible.

Within the Primordial World, nothing could escape Ancestor Hongjun's perception—he could sense that the Chaos Pearl was saturated with Luo Fu's aura, clearly a spiritual treasure personally refined by Luo Fu.

Moreover, any Chaos Divine Demon with even half a brain would never lend out a Chaos spiritual treasure.

A Chaos spiritual treasure was no ordinary spiritual treasure; even many powerful Dao of Heaven-level Chaos Divine Demons might not possess one.

For every Chaos Divine Demon, a Chaos spiritual treasure was an absolute treasure.

How could such a treasure be given away?

Even less could someone be allowed to carry it into a Hunyuan world.

Carrying a Chaos spiritual treasure into a Hunyuan world, if lost, the world's barrier would make it nearly impossible to recall it—even if fully refined.

A Chaos spiritual treasure was also considered a supreme treasure within a Hunyuan world.

Not only would the many powerful beings within the Hunyuan world seize it, but even the world's own Dao of Heaven would, the moment it sensed the aura of a Chaos spiritual treasure, unhesitatingly claim it for itself.

No sane Chaos Divine Demon would ever allow another to carry a Chaos spiritual treasure into a Hunyuan world.

For a Quasi-Saint, a Primordial Supreme Treasure and a Chaos spiritual treasure made no real difference.
