Chapter 1172

However, the Jade Emperor did not overly concern himself with the loss of heavenly fortune; compared to the loss of fortune, he was more intent on understanding what had occurred in the Chaotic Void.

Following the trajectory of human fortune gathering, the Jade Emperor finally bypassed Ancestor Hongjun's blockade, extending his gaze into the Chaotic Void.

The moment his perception pierced the world's barrier, the Jade Emperor froze, his eyes filled with shock.

"It is the Dao Ancestor—Ancestor Hongjun has truly intervened, yet he seems unable to overcome Luo Fu."

Ancestor Hongjun's personal intervention had already stunned the Jade Emperor, but from the standoff between Ancestor Hongjun and Luo Fu, it appeared Ancestor Hongjun could not overcome Luo Fu.

This was the part that most shocked the Jade Emperor.

In the Jade Emperor's eyes, Ancestor Hongjun was an invincible being, towering above the entire Primordial World.

Even the Saints meant nothing before Ancestor Hongjun.

Yet under Ancestor Hongjun's direct intervention, he still could not overcome Luo Fu—how could the Jade Emperor not be stunned?

"Just who is this Luo Fu? Could he be the legendary Chaotic Divine Demon?"

Gazing at the terrifying aura surrounding Luo Fu, the Jade Emperor could think of only one possibility.

"The voices just now—were they from Ancestral Dragon, Daoist Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin? They should have perished long ago—could Luo Fu have revived them?"

At the same time, the Jade Emperor recalled Ancestral Dragon, Daoist Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin.

The Jade Emperor was familiar with Ancestral Dragon, Daoist Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin.

The Jade Emperor had once been Ancestor Hongjun's Dao attendant, barely a figure of the Ancient Era, and thus knew a little of the secrets from that time.

Especially regarding Ancestral Dragon, Daoist Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin, the Jade Emperor had heard of them.

After all, Ancestral Dragon, Daoist Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin had dominated the Ancient Era.

At least on the surface, the Ancient Primordial World belonged to their age.

Had he not been intent on discovering what had occurred in the Chaotic Void, the Jade Emperor's first focus would have been Ancestral Dragon, Daoist Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin.

Gazing at Luo Fu, the Jade Emperor thought of the revived Twelve Ancestral Wushen, then connected them to Ancestral Dragon, Daoist Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin.

If Luo Fu could revive the Twelve Ancestral Wushen, he could certainly revive Ancestral Dragon, Daoist Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin.

From the actions of Ancestral Dragon, Daoist Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin just now, the Jade Emperor could almost confirm they had been revived by Luo Fu.

Only under such circumstances could Luo Fu possibly gain the recognition of Ancestral Dragon, Daoist Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin, compelling them to willingly offer their clan's fortune.

"With so much human fortune gathering, what does Luo Fu intend to do? Could he be aiming to suppress Heaven's Dao and utterly overpower the Dao Ancestor?"

A possibility flashed through the Jade Emperor's mind.

Instantly, the Jade Emperor stood frozen in place.

Having ruled the Heavenly Court for so long, the Jade Emperor's mind had been honed to extreme maturity.

From Luo Fu's many actions, his earlier guess was almost certainly correct.

Yet the Jade Emperor dared not admit it—this guess was simply too astonishing.

Ancestor Hongjun had ruled the Primordial World for so long, his authority deeply entrenched; the Jade Emperor found it nearly impossible to believe anyone dared seek to suppress him.

Yet from Luo Fu's prior actions, the Jade Emperor could see clearly that Luo Fu's target was indeed Ancestor Hongjun.

Not just the Jade Emperor—nearly all great cultivators capable of peering into the Chaotic Void were stunned by Luo Fu.
