Chapter 1137: The Self-Explosion of the Open Heaven Thunder! The Annihilated Avatar

!

Along with it, Luo Fu was also swallowed.

After unleashing the chaotic-colored sword light, Luo Fu's avatar had already reached the brink of collapse.

Faced with the destruction energy from the Self-Explosion of the Open Heaven Thunder, Luo Fu had almost no resistance at all, and could only let it engulf him.

Not only Luo Fu, but the destruction energy from the Self-Explosion of the Open Heaven Thunder was also continuously spreading outward.

"Retreat! Quickly retreat!"

Before the Self-Explosion of the Open Heaven Thunder, the Supreme Sage and others had foreseen that the clash between Luo Fu and the Heavenly Punishment Eye might affect them, so they chose to retreat.

But they had not anticipated that the Open Heaven Thunder would choose to self-explode, and that its explosive power would be so terrifying.

The Supreme Sage and others were forced to fully mobilize the Dao's power, trying to put as much distance as possible between themselves and the location of the Open Heaven Thunder's self-explosion.

Fortunately, because they had already retreated a certain distance beforehand, the Supreme Sage and others were not close to the location of the Open Heaven Thunder's self-explosion, giving them ample time to avoid the destruction energy.

Whoosh!

A destruction wave hundreds of millions of zhang high raged across the Outer Heaven, nearly engulfing the entire Outer Heaven.

Vast stretches of space were directly vaporized, revealing countless voids.

Had Ancestor Hongjun not beforehand used the power of the Dao to seal off the entire Outer Heaven,

what the Immortals and Gods of the Ten Thousand Realms would now see would likely be an Outer Heaven half-destroyed.

The Supreme Sage and others had barely retreated to the edge of the Outer Heaven before escaping the impact of the destruction energy.

Although the destruction energy that reached them was not lethal to the Sages, the Supreme Sage and others still did not wish to face it.

Destruction energy containing a trace of Dao-level power, while not lethal to Sages, was still a considerable nuisance.

The Supreme Sage and others did not wish to become utterly disheveled merely by watching the battle from the sidelines.

Compared to the Supreme Sage and others, the Twelve Ancestral Ancestors and Saint Tongtian were not so fortunate.

They were far too close to the location of the Open Heaven Thunder's self-explosion; even if they reacted in time, it was difficult to evade.

Fortunately, around them remained the defense left behind by the Chaos Pearl.

Crack!

The first wave of destruction energy, upon striking the defense barrier left by the Chaos Pearl, left only a tiny crack — it did not tear the barrier apart.

Moreover, that tiny crack was repaired in an instant.

The barrier protecting the Twelve Ancestral Ancestors and Saint Tongtian was merely a casual creation of the Chaos Pearl's avatar — capable of withstanding Hunyuan-layer attacks, yet unable to perfectly resist destruction energy imbued with a trace of Dao-level aura.

The destruction energy was not just one wave, but countless waves.

Immediately following the first wave, several more waves of destruction energy slammed into the barrier.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The sound of the barrier shattering rang out continuously.

Hearing these shattering sounds, the faces of the Twelve Ancestral Ancestors and Saint Tongtian grew extremely tense, their eyes filled with dread.

They could sense the destructive power of the destruction force.

If struck by this destruction force, the Twelve Ancestral Ancestors and Saint Tongtian had no confidence they could withstand it.

If it were only a single wave of destruction force, the Twelve Ancestral Ancestors and Saint Tongtian might still have been able to resist it by burning all their inner power.

But the destruction force was not just one wave — it was nearly endless.

As long as one remained near the location of the Open Heaven Thunder's self-explosion, the violent destruction force flowed ceaselessly, wave after wave.

This destruction force was not directly produced by the Open Heaven Thunder's self-explosion.

The Open Heaven Thunder's self-explosion produced only one wave of destruction force.

But during its spread, the destruction force was not entirely consumed; when it collided and merged with itself, it generated wave after wave of new destruction force.

As if sensing the worry in the hearts of the Twelve Ancestral Ancestors and Saint Tongtian, the barrier surrounding them suddenly contracted violently inward, fully enveloping the Twelve Ancestral Ancestors and Saint Tongtian.

Before the surrounding destruction force could react, the Twelve Ancestral Ancestors and Saint Tongtian were instantly drawn away by a powerful suction force.

Thus, around the location of the Open Heaven Thunder's self-explosion, only the still-raging destruction force remained.

"Disperse!"

Ancestor Hongjun coldly uttered a single word.

Instantly, the destruction force that had raged across half the Outer Heaven vanished in an instant, as if it had never existed.

"Condense!"

Seeing the Outer Heaven, torn nearly in half by the Open Heaven Thunder's self-explosion, Ancestor Hongjun uttered another word.

Whoosh!

Vast quantities of Dao power descended from nowhere, landing upon the voids left by the destruction force — instantly, like an eraser, smoothing out every single void.

In less than a breath, the Outer Heaven returned to its original state.

The only difference was that Luo Fu had been annihilated within the destruction force, and the Twelve Ancestral Ancestors and Saint Tongtian had also vanished.

Destruction force could not block perception; Ancestor Hongjun clearly sensed that Luo Fu had been directly annihilated by the destruction force.

Yet, in Ancestor Hongjun's eyes, there was no trace of triumph — his cold gaze even unconsciously sharpened with caution.

Caution toward Luo Fu.

Clearly, Ancestor Hongjun did not believe Luo Fu had perished so easily.

In Ancestor Hongjun's mind, Luo Fu had already been identified as a reincarnated Chaos Divine Demon.

Yet, even at the moment Luo Fu's avatar was annihilated, Ancestor Hongjun had sensed not the slightest trace of the reincarnated Chaos Divine Demon's aura from Luo Fu.

In a life-or-death situation, even if Luo Fu concealed himself thoroughly, he must have revealed some clue.

Since Luo Fu did not reveal any aura of the reincarnated Chaos Divine Demon, there were only two possibilities.

The first possibility: Luo Fu was not a reincarnated Chaos Divine Demon.

The second possibility is that the Luo Fu before them is not Luo Fu's true body, but merely one of his emanations.

It is only an emanation; even if it perishes, it would not affect Luo Fu in the slightest, so Luo Fu has no reason to expose his true nature for the sake of a single emanation.

Compared to the first possibility, Ancestor Hongjun places greater faith in the second possibility.

Given the methods Luo Fu just revealed, there was absolutely no need to directly clash with the Primordial Creation Thunder.

The best way to respond to the Primordial Creation Thunder is to evade it.

With Luo Fu's speed, evading the strike of the Primordial Creation Thunder is not a difficult matter.

As for the Locking Gaze of Heavenly Punishment, that is even easier to handle.

All Luo Fu needs to do is enter the Primordial World immediately.

The power of Heaven's Dao is mostly concentrated within the Primordial World.

Once Luo Fu enters the Primordial World and departs for the Chaotic Void, Heaven's Dao's power will be weakened.

As long as Luo Fu is far enough from the Primordial World, the Locking Gaze of Heavenly Punishment cannot strike him.
