Chapter 1189: The Final Straw That Crushed Ancestor Hongjun

At least one step away from the Dao of Heaven level, these Great Dao paths could not break through not because they were incapable, but because they were restricted by the Primordial World.

Only when the Primordial World accumulated to its peak would these Great Dao paths shatter through to the Dao of Heaven level, then propel the Primordial World to break through into the Dao of Heaven level.

With this massive amount of reinforcement, the Primordial World's Dao of Heaven was far stronger than ordinary worlds.

This was also one reason why the Dao of Heaven could forcefully suppress the Dao of Earth.

If the Dao of Heaven had not been so overwhelmingly powerful, the Dao of Earth, even if incomplete, could never have been so easily suppressed while holding dominion over the earth.

As a Dao of Heaven-level powerhouse, Ancestor Hongjun's insight was by no means weak.

Therefore, Ancestor Hongjun was fully aware of the Dao of Earth's condition.

According to his estimation, the Dao of Earth would need at least another half a cosmic cycle—or even longer—to reach completion.

Such a long time was more than enough for Ancestor Hongjun to seize control of the Dao of Heaven.

As long as the Dao of Earth remained incomplete, it posed no great threat to Ancestor Hongjun.

But Ancestor Hongjun never imagined that the Dao of Earth had completed itself silently and without warning.

In fact, the moment Luo Fu forged a new path and condensed the Saintly Position of the Dao of Humanity, causing the Dao of Humanity to take form, Ancestor Hongjun had already begun guarding against the Dao of Earth.

Because the Dao of Earth was held by Pingxin Niangniang, who stood firmly on Luo Fu's side.

Whenever Luo Fu needed it, the Dao of Earth would most likely serve him.

Naturally, Ancestor Hongjun had to guard against the Dao of Earth.

Yet Ancestor Hongjun never expected that the Dao of Earth he guarded against had completed itself silently and without notice.

Once completed, the threat posed by the Dao of Earth increased a hundredfold; his precautions were utterly useless against a completed Dao of Earth.

Undeniably, Luo Fu's hidden card once again caught Ancestor Hongjun off guard.

This caused an involuntary shadow to darken Ancestor Hongjun's face.

The moment the Dao of Earth appeared, Ancestor Hongjun felt a deeply ominous premonition.

This premonition was stronger than ever before, stirring emotions long suppressed under the Dao of Heaven's erosion.

In fact, Ancestor Hongjun's premonition was correct.

The emergence of the Dao of Earth would be the final straw that crushed Ancestor Hongjun.

After reclaiming the earth authority of the Earth Immortal Realm, the Dao of Earth did not press its advantage to seize more earth authority; instead, under Luo Fu's control, it concentrated all its power upon Huoyun Cave.

Yes, Luo Fu intended to use the power of the Dao of Earth to strike Huoyun Cave.

This was the key to Luo Fu's entire strategy.

To suppress the Dao of Heaven with the Dao of Humanity and the Dao of Earth, the Dao of Humanity's fortune belonging to the human race was the final piece Luo Fu must obtain.

Only by gathering the human race's Dao of Humanity fortune could the Dao of Humanity assemble its full strength and break free from the Dao of Heaven's suppression.

Only then could the Dao of Humanity and the Dao of Earth possibly overpower the Dao of Heaven.

Compared to the Dao of Heaven, the nascent Dao of Humanity and the newly completed Dao of Earth were both weak.

Without gathering all their strength, they could never suppress the Dao of Heaven.

The importance of the human race was something Ancestor Hongjun could not possibly ignore if he were not foolish.

Precisely because he understood the human race's importance, Ancestor Hongjun had repeatedly divided and sealed the Dao of Humanity fortune belonging to the human race, turning the human race into complete puppets of the Dao of Heaven.

Against a prepared Ancestor Hongjun, gathering the human race's Dao of Humanity fortune was no easy task.

Indeed, the moment the Dao of Humanity took form, Ancestor Hongjun immediately reinforced the seals placed upon the human race's Dao of Humanity fortune.

Alone, the Dao of Humanity could hardly break those seals—it was nearly impossible.

Therefore, the plan Luo Fu revealed to the Three Sovereigns was not the full plan.

The most critical step, Luo Fu had not revealed.

From the very beginning, Luo Fu never intended to rely on the Dao of Humanity to shatter Ancestor Hongjun's seals.

Luo Fu's true plan all along had been to use the Dao of Earth to break Ancestor Hongjun's seals.

Under the Dao of Humanity's lockdown, only an equal-level Dao of Earth possessed the capability to unexpectedly shatter the seals Ancestor Hongjun had imposed.

Boom!

Vast earth power converged, and under Luo Fu's control, the immense earth force poured without restraint onto the seal of Huoyun Cave.

The Dao of Earth was completed by Luo Fu; in a sense, Luo Fu was its master.

As long as Luo Fu willed it, he could summon the Dao of Earth's power at will.

Crack!

Under the assault of the Dao of Earth, the seal Ancestor Hongjun had placed upon Huoyun Cave shattered instantly.

Ancestor Hongjun's spiritual awareness was ninety-nine percent absorbed by the Dao of Humanity, and most of the Dao of Heaven's power was concentrated around the Dao of Humanity.

The Dao of Heaven's force guarding the Huoyun Cave seal could only repel attacks from ordinary Dao of Heaven-level cultivators.

In Ancestor Hongjun's view, this level of sealing was more than sufficient.
