Chapter 1165

This was the source of Ancestor Hongjun's confidence.

As long as he had the Primordial World as his foundation, Ancestor Hongjun was inherently invincible.

As Luo Fu was suppressed, the authority of Heaven's Dao indeed strengthened Ancestor Hongjun.

Thus, the gap between them grew even wider.

Ancestor Hongjun did not strike immediately; instead, he stared at Luo Fu, unleashing his terrifying aura without restraint, as if aiming to pressure Luo Fu.

Having chosen to defy Heaven's Dao, in Ancestor Hongjun's eyes, Luo Fu had only one possible outcome: total defeat.

On one side was Heaven's Dao's reinforcement; on the other, Heaven's Dao's suppression.

With this imbalance, no Heaven's Dao-level cultivator could possibly be Ancestor Hongjun's match.

Facing Ancestor Hongjun's unleashed aura, Luo Fu's face showed no alarm or fear—only a faint smile.

This scene, Luo Fu had waited for a long time.

Luo Fu chose to fight Ancestor Hongjun precisely to force him to defy Heaven's Dao.

Ancestor Hongjun has not yet fully consumed Heaven's Dao; once he defies it, he will inevitably suffer Heaven's Dao's backlash.

Right now, Ancestor Hongjun has not suffered backlash because Heaven's Dao's autonomous consciousness has been suppressed.

Heaven's Dao is merely a program; with its autonomous consciousness—the intelligent entity born from Heaven's Dao—suppressed, it is not difficult for Ancestor Hongjun to deceive Heaven's Dao.

Moreover, defying Heaven's Dao is not, in Ancestor Hongjun's view, a major matter.

Heaven's Dao's autonomous consciousness has already been fully suppressed by him.

Even if defying Heaven's Dao triggers backlash, granting Heaven's Dao's autonomous consciousness more breathing room.

But his advantage is now unshakable.

What Heaven's Dao's autonomous consciousness can gain is merely breathing room.

Therefore, whether or not to defy Heaven's Dao, Ancestor Hongjun does not truly care; what he cares about is whether his speed of consuming Heaven's Dao will be affected.

Had it not been for wanting his assimilation of Heaven's Dao to proceed unimpeded, Ancestor Hongjun would have summoned Heaven's Dao to crush Luo Fu from the very beginning.

Of course, Ancestor Hongjun's sense of invulnerability stems from the fact that Heaven's Dao's autonomous consciousness has been fully suppressed, and the entire Primordial World lies under Heaven's Dao's control.

If Heaven's Dao did not control the Primordial World, Ancestor Hongjun could not be so calm.

Once Heaven's Dao loses control of the Primordial World, should Ancestor Hongjun be struck by backlash from Heaven's Dao's autonomous consciousness, he would find it extremely difficult to reclaim control of the Primordial World in a short time.

In such a case, control of the Primordial World might very well be usurped.

Ancestor Hongjun seeks the entire Primordial World, not merely Heaven's Dao.

Heaven's Dao and the World's Master are entirely different concepts.

Only when Heaven's Dao dominates the entire Primordial World can Ancestor Hongjun, after consuming Heaven's Dao, become the World's Master.

Control of the Primordial World is Luo Fu's key to counterattack.

It is also Ancestor Hongjun's blind spot.

Seeing that Luo Fu showed no alarm but instead wore a faint smile, a sense of unease stirred in Ancestor Hongjun's heart.
