Chapter 1156

But under the influence of the Dao of Heaven, Ancestor Hongjun's emotions were suppressed, and absolute reason took dominance.

From Ancestor Hongjun's rational perspective, confronting Luo Fu brought more harm than benefit.

This was the critical moment for Ancestor Hongjun to erode the Dao of Heaven; if he were to strike Luo Fu, he would have to relax his suppression of the Dao of Heaven's autonomous consciousness.

Once Ancestor Hongjun relaxed his suppression of the Dao of Heaven's autonomous consciousness, that consciousness would revive and continue fighting him for control of the Dao of Heaven.

At this critical juncture, granting the Dao of Heaven's autonomous consciousness even a moment to breathe would require far more time to suppress it again.

The longer the delay, the more variables emerged—reason told Ancestor Hongjun that swallowing the Dao of Heaven as quickly as possible was best.

Thus, even though he knew allowing Luo Fu to set conditions might force him to sacrifice much, Ancestor Hongjun's reason still chose to exchange numerous terms for Luo Fu's withdrawal.

"Enough talk. Between you and me, a fight is inevitable. No matter what conditions you propose, I will not retreat."

Unfortunately, Luo Fu once again flatly rejected Ancestor Hongjun's proposal.

Upon hearing Luo Fu's refusal, Ancestor Hongjun's reason returned to its normal state, suppressed emotions began to surge, and threads of fury appeared in his eyes.

"Hmph! Refuse the cup of wine and take the cup of punishment. Since you insist on this, I will show no mercy—you will regret refusing me just now."

Ancestor Hongjun could sense the firmness in Luo Fu's words.

Therefore, Ancestor Hongjun ceased urging Luo Fu to stand down.

His repeated inquiries just now had already been more than courteous enough in his view.

Since Luo Fu refused to accept his courtesy, he had no right to complain if Ancestor Hongjun showed none in return.

Though striking now would inevitably slow his consumption and refinement of the Dao of Heaven, Ancestor Hongjun could no longer afford to care.

All he could think of now was giving Luo Fu a lesson—an unforgettable one.

Only then could he intimidate the shadowy, chaotic-colored barrier—the Ghost Serpent God.

For this, even if it cost him dozens or hundreds of Baigeyuan Society cycles, Ancestor Hongjun was willing.

If peaceful resolution was impossible, then deliver a thunderous blow.

No sooner had he spoken than Ancestor Hongjun's will connected with the Dao of Heaven Jade Disc.

The Three Thousand Great Dao began to intertwine; boundless Dao resonance erupted from the Dao of Heaven Jade Disc and merged into the Primordial Creation Thunder.

The newly formed spear-shaped Primordial Creation Thunder was, without notice, entirely covered in the Three Thousand Great Dao.

Sssssss~~~

The new spear-shaped Primordial Creation Thunder slashed through the chaotic void once more and struck the chaotic-colored barrier.

Boom!

The thunderous crash echoed again; under the impact of the spear-shaped Primordial Creation Thunder, the chaotic-colored barrier shuddered, and vast numbers of Dao lines began to crack.

These cracking Dao lines struggled desperately to absorb the destructive force generated by the spear-shaped Primordial Creation Thunder's impact.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

As the valuable Three Thousand Great Dao on the chaotic-colored barrier continuously dissipated the impact of the spear-shaped Primordial Creation Thunder, the Three Thousand Great Dao on the spear suddenly bloomed—Dao radiance surged along the spear and spread directly onto the chaotic-colored barrier.

Instantly, all remaining Dao lines on the chaotic-colored barrier became disordered; the once perfectly coordinated Three Thousand Great Dao erupted into chaos the moment they were bathed in the radiance.

Boom!

The cost of the Three Thousand Great Dao's chaos was a rapid collapse of the enhanced defense; under the spear-shaped Primordial Creation Thunder's assault, the now-weakened chaotic-colored barrier shattered like glass.

The spear-shaped Primordial Creation Thunder, still carrying residual power, pierced through the shattered barrier and struck toward Luo Fu.

Zzzzz~~~

As the spear-shaped Primordial Creation Thunder neared him, Luo Fu slowly raised his right hand and, with astonishing speed, seized the thunder directly in his palm.

Lightning danced across Luo Fu's right hand—it was the Primordial Creation Thunder; even a single spark could annihilate most of a normal Saint's body.
