Chapter 1128

To the likes of Tai Shang Shengren and others, Luo Fu should have been, at the very least, a primordial divine being, just like them.

In fact, Tai Shang Shengren and the others had even speculated whether Luo Fu might be a reincarnated Chaos Divine Demon.

For Luo Fu's strength realm was simply too monstrous, utterly unlike any native life of the Primordial World.

Even the primordial divine beings born at the dawn of creation could not possess Luo Fu's monstrous strength and realm.

"An ancient human tribe? Your concealment technique is truly astonishing—you've perfectly masked your own aura. But an ancient human tribe alone cannot explain your strength, nor the Chaos Pearl in your hand."

Of course, Ancestor Hongjun did not believe a single word of Luo Fu's explanation.

If Luo Fu were truly born of the ancient human tribe, then the ancient human tribe would not have perished.

Judging by Luo Fu's current strength realm, he must have already possessed considerable power at the dawn of creation.

With Luo Fu's strength, even if he could not expand the ancient human tribe, he could certainly have protected it from annihilation.

Yet the ancient human tribe perished all the same.

Others might not know these things, but Ancestor Hongjun knew them clearly.

Ancestor Hongjun had witnessed the annihilation of the ancient human tribe with his own eyes.

He could swear that Luo Fu was not among those ancient humans who perished.

Thus, in Ancestor Hongjun's mind, Luo Fu was already a reincarnated Chaos Divine Demon.

Only through some divine technique had Luo Fu concealed all traces of his reincarnated Chaos Divine Demon aura, leaving behind only the aura of an ancient human tribe.

"It was merely good fortune—I escaped from the Chaos and accidentally received a legacy. Had I not received this legacy, the ancient human tribe would surely have been utterly extinguished."

Luo Fu gazed at the Chaos Pearl behind him, his tone filled with melancholy, as if mourning something.

Ruigao did not know this, and genuinely mistook Luo Fu's lament for the fall of the ancient human tribe.

The ancient human tribe was a fabricated identity Luo Fu had invented for himself.

Since it was premeditated, Luo Fu knew perfectly well how to disguise this identity.

In truth, Luo Fu had little need to disguise himself.

For Luo Fu was originally human, and he held deep affection for humanity and the ancient human tribe alike.

"A Chaos spiritual treasure?"

The eyes of Tai Shang Shengren and the others all fixed on the Chaos Pearl behind Luo Fu.

They could tell the Chaos Pearl was no ordinary artifact—at least a primordial supreme treasure—but they could never have imagined it was a Chaos spiritual treasure.

If primordial supreme treasures were artifacts every Saint desired, then Chaos spiritual treasures existed only in myth and legend.

Not only Tai Shang Shengren and the others, but the Twelve Ancestral Wushen and Saint Tongtian also could not help but glance at the Chaos Pearl.

Chaos spiritual treasures—they had only heard fragments of them in legends; they had never laid eyes on a true one.

As for the words exchanged between Ancestor Hongjun and Luo Fu, they simply chose to ignore them.

In truth, for Tai Shang Shengren and the others, Luo Fu's true origin mattered little.

The reason Tai Shang Shengren and the others had chosen to stand with Luo Fu was chiefly because of Ancestor Hongjun.

It was Ancestor Hongjun's actions over these countless yuanhui that had driven Tai Shang Shengren and the others to rebel against him.

Even if Luo Fu were truly a Chaos Divine Demon, Tai Shang Shengren would still stand by him.

Compared to Ancestor Hongjun treating the Saints as puppets and Wan Ling as his tools, whether Luo Fu was a reincarnated Chaos Divine Demon truly did not matter.

Unfortunately, Ancestor Hongjun had reigned supreme for countless yuanhui and could not see this.

Or rather, even if Ancestor Hongjun saw it, he would refuse to acknowledge it.

For if Ancestor Hongjun acknowledged it, he would be denying himself.

As the sovereign of the Primordial World, how could Ancestor Hongjun deny himself?

It must be said, after so many years as Dao Ancestor, Ancestor Hongjun had grown somewhat arrogant.

Or rather, arrogance was, by nature, the instinct of a Heaven-Path level cultivator.

The entire Primordial World had not a single Hunyuan Daoluojin Xian; the few Saints that existed were all forcibly elevated by Heaven's Dao. Faced with such Primordial World beings, how could a Heaven-Path level cultivator not be arrogant?

The strong inherently possess the right to be arrogant toward the weak.

Sensing his words had no effect, Ancestor Hongjun ceased further words and fixed his gaze on Luo Fu and the Chaos Pearl, as if preparing to strike.

Sensing Ancestor Hongjun's gaze lock onto him, Luo Fu immediately went on guard—he still deeply feared Ancestor Hongjun's power.

He knew well that, in direct confrontation, his current strength was no match for Ancestor Hongjun.

Shhh!

Ancestor Hongjun did not, as Luo Fu expected, strike directly at Luo Fu; instead, his gaze shifted to the Twelve Yuan Chen.

At Ancestor Hongjun's will, the barriers surrounding the Twelve Yuan Chen vanished instantly, along with their wounds.

The Twelve Yuan Chen's wounds came from the backlash of the Changhe; for others, healing them was nearly impossible.

The backlash of the Changhe, under normal circumstances, could only be borne and slowly repaired by oneself.

But Ancestor Hongjun was a Heaven-Path level cultivator who controlled Heaven's Dao; such backlash was no great problem for him.

Even if the Twelve Yuan Chen's wounds were worse, Ancestor Hongjun had methods to heal them instantly.

If healing were truly impossible, Ancestor Hongjun could simply kill the Twelve Yuan Chen and then resurrect them through Heaven's Dao, achieving instant recovery.

After their wounds were healed, the Twelve Yuan Chen instantly appeared behind Ancestor Hongjun, as if teleporting.

They were Ancestor Hongjun's direct subordinates, his most steadfast supporters.

Having casually healed the Twelve Yuan Chen's wounds, Ancestor Hongjun's will stirred once more.
