Chapter 1123: Ancestor Hongjun Descends Upon Tianwai Tian! Omen of a Great Event!

To Ancestor Hongjun, this was also an unbelievable event.

Ancestor Hongjun had nearly mastered the entire Dao of Heaven; any aura above the Hunyuan layer appearing in the Primordial World would inevitably be detected and known to Ancestor Hongjun.

Any ordinary Hunyuan Daoluoxian who entered the Primordial World would inevitably be discovered by Ancestor Hongjun.

Primordial Supreme Treasures, comparable to Hunyuan Daoluoxian, were no different—any Primordial Supreme Treasure appearing in the Primordial World, even leaking a trace of its aura, would be sensed by the Dao of Heaven.

If Primordial Supreme Treasures were thus detectable, Chaos Spiritual Treasures could not possibly evade the Dao of Heaven's surveillance; indeed, they were even easier to detect than Primordial Supreme Treasures.

If a Primordial Supreme Treasure in the eyes of the Dao of Heaven was like a small flame in the dark, then a Chaos Spiritual Treasure was like a massive fireball.

A small flame could temporarily mask its glow through various means, but a fireball, no matter how hidden, could never conceal its radiance.

A Primordial Supreme Treasure might still be concealed within the body and smuggled into the Primordial World, evading the Dao of Heaven.

Even if hidden within the body, a Chaos Spiritual Treasure found it nearly impossible to evade the Dao of Heaven's detection when brought into the Primordial World.

Not to mention concealing one's aura while openly revealing it and fooling the Dao of Heaven's perception.

Thus, Ancestor Hongjun was desperate to know how Luo Fu had managed to deceive the Dao of Heaven.

Under normal circumstances, even if the Dao of Heaven were sluggish, it should have alerted Ancestor Hongjun the moment the Chaos Pearl emerged—there would be no need for Ancestor Hongjun to discover it himself.

Luo Fu sensed Ancestor Hongjun's gaze; he sheathed the Hunyuan Eternal Creation Sword and ceased his assault on the Twelve Celestial Chariots.

Since Ancestor Hongjun had noticed this place, further attacks on the Twelve Celestial Chariots would serve little purpose.

After all, this was Ancestor Hongjun's domain; even if Luo Fu unleashed his full combat power, he might not succeed in killing the Twelve Celestial Chariots, who were under Ancestor Hongjun's direct protection.

After sheathing the Hunyuan Eternal Creation Sword, Luo Fu suddenly looked up toward a certain direction.

The direction Luo Fu gazed at was precisely where Ancestor Hongjun stood.

Their gazes pierced through layers of void and collided.

As their lines of sight intertwined, Ancestor Hongjun showed no surprise at Luo Fu's awareness of his surveillance.

Having deemed Luo Fu a reincarnated Chaos Divine Demon, Ancestor Hongjun had already known his surveillance would be perceived by Luo Fu.

Through the Dao of Heaven, Ancestor Hongjun's perception could deceive Hunyuan-level cultivators, but not those of the Dao of Heaven level.

After all, the Dao of Heaven and Dao of Heaven-level cultivators existed at the same realm.

At the same realm, unless one excelled in concealment, it was impossible to evade the other's perception.

Luo Fu excelled in concealment, so he evaded the perception of both the Dao of Heaven and Ancestor Hongjun.

But Ancestor Hongjun and the Dao of Heaven were not skilled in concealment, so they could not hide their surveillance.

Gazing at Luo Fu, who looked back at him, Ancestor Hongjun's eyes flickered with a glint of cold light.

Shhh!

In a flash, after countless Wushuyuan, Ancestor Hongjun left the deepest reaches of Chaos for the first time.

Boom—

Vast heavenly authority suddenly engulfed the entirety of Tianwai Tian.

In an instant, countless immortals and gods felt their vision go utterly blank.

Their perception was severed in a single moment by a mighty force, meaning they could not observe anything within Tianwai Tian for the foreseeable future.

Concealing the entirety of Tianwai Tian with such power was utterly astonishing.

All immortals and gods flickered with shock in their eyes.

Tianwai Tian had never before been obscured.

At this moment, all immortals and gods realized that a great event was about to unfold in the Three Realms.

Yet because Tianwai Tian was obscured, nearly all immortals and gods across the Three Realms knew nothing of what would happen—they could only wait.

As Tianwai Tian was concealed, an old man in a Dao robe, with white hair and beard, suddenly appeared within Tianwai Tian.

The Dao-robed old man radiated little aura and appeared utterly ordinary.

Yet behind him, infinite Dao rhythms flowed endlessly.

These Dao rhythms seemed to encompass all—the three thousand great Daos, the birth and death of all spirits—appeared contained within them.

This Dao-robed old man was, of course, Ancestor Hongjun.

With Ancestor Hongjun's appearance, Tianwai Tian suddenly became utterly silent.

Not only Tianwai Tian, but also the few places across the Three Realms capable of observing Tianwai Tian fell into stillness.

·······

Heavenly Court.

"Tianwai Tian has been obscured? Such supreme heavenly authority—could it be the Dao Ancestor? What has happened in Tianwai Tian that even the Dao Ancestor has appeared in person!"

Gazing at the obscured Tianwai Tian, the Jade Emperor's eyes flickered with alarm.

When Ancestor Hongjun's supreme power enveloped Tianwai Tian, the Jade Emperor immediately suspected Ancestor Hongjun had acted personally.

Having followed Ancestor Hongjun for so long, the Jade Emperor was very familiar with his aura.

Yet the Jade Emperor could not fathom why Ancestor Hongjun had intervened personally.

In the Jade Emperor's view, after the Twelve Celestial Chariots formed the Twelve Celestial Chariots Array, they could easily suppress Luo Fu.

Even if the Twelve Celestial Chariots failed to suppress Luo Fu, there were still several Saints.

When the several Saints appeared in Tianwai Tian, they did not conceal their auras; thus, the Jade Emperor had noticed their presence.

In the Jade Emperor's view, the combination of the several Saints and the Twelve Celestial Chariots was more than sufficient to suppress Luo Fu and the Twelve Ancestral Wushu—there was absolutely no need for Ancestor Hongjun to act personally.

Due to Ancestor Hongjun's interference and Luo Fu's swift strike, the Jade Emperor had not witnessed the moment when Yuan Chen Tianjun was slain by Luo Fu, nor that the Twelve Celestial Chariots nearly met the same fate.

Had he seen it, he might not have been so alarmed.

Of course, had the Jade Emperor seen it, his shock would not have been over why Ancestor Hongjun intervened personally, but over Luo Fu's monstrous combat power.

"Could it be because of Saint Tongtian? Previously, during the Divine Ranking War, it was Saint Tongtian who forced the Dao Ancestor to intervene—could this be due to Saint Tongtian again?"

The Jade Emperor had also seen Saint Tongtian appear in Tianwai Tian and enter the Twelve Celestial Chariots' small realm.

With Saint Tongtian's soaring sword qi, unhidden, all immortals and gods in the Three Realms could sense his presence.

"It seems something great is about to happen in the Three Realms."

The Jade Emperor suppressed his inner shock and thought silently.

The perception severed by Ancestor Hongjun's might once again enveloped the entire Heavenly Beyond.

He needed to know at once what was about to occur in the Heavenly Beyond.

Not just the Jade Emperor, but many great transcendent beings in the Three Realms also sensed the prelude to great events and all closely watched the Heavenly Beyond.
