Chapter 1207

This is also why Saint Tongtian and Pingxin Niangniang dare not openly rebel against Ancestor Hongjun.

It is not that they lack courage, but that they know rebellion is futile.

As long as Ancestor Hongjun wishes, he can instantly strip Saint Tongtian and Pingxin Niangniang of their sacred status.

After losing the sanctity's reinforcement, Saint Tongtian and Pingxin Niangniang are merely slightly stronger Pre-Saints.

A mere Pre-Saint cannot even escape the Primordial World to survive in the Chaotic Void.

Within the Primordial World, not even Pre-Saints, let alone Heaven-Path powerhouses, can stand against Ancestor Hongjun.

Becoming a Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian, even if one cannot resist Ancestor Hongjun, can still flee into the Chaotic Void—once beyond the reach of Heaven's influence, Ancestor Hongjun can no longer touch them.

After all, the current Ancestor Hongjun cannot detach from Heaven's Path.

Thus, Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian still hold a sliver of possibility to resist Ancestor Hongjun.

This is why Ancestor Hongjun suppresses the Wan Ling of the Primordial World, preventing the emergence of Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian.

Pre-Saints, however, cannot.

Compared to the entire Chaotic Void, Pre-Saints are but ants—struggling to survive, let alone defy a Heaven-Path powerhouse who controls Heaven's Path.

Precisely because they understand this, Saint Tongtian and Pingxin Niangniang harbor not the slightest thought of rebellion against Ancestor Hongjun.

Had Luo Fu not appeared, Saint Tongtian and Pingxin Niangniang would most likely have chosen to utterly withdraw from the affairs of the Three Realms, like Master Yuanshi, devoting themselves solely to seclusion and Dao cultivation.

Unless they, like Master Yuanshi, pushed their primary Dao to the Hunyuan layer, they would never entertain the notion of rebelling against Ancestor Hongjun.

Yet, under normal historical progression, by the time Saint Tongtian and Pingxin Niangniang fully comprehended their primary Dao to the Hunyuan layer, Ancestor Hongjun would likely have already devoured the entire Heaven's Path.

At that point, even if Saint Tongtian and Pingxin Niangniang became Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian, it would be useless.

One might say, a Heaven-Path powerhouse who has corrupted Heaven's Path is a devastating downgrade upon the nascent Primordial World.

No matter how desperately the Wan Ling of the Primordial World struggle, without a variable, their fate is sealed.

After channeling all of Heaven's Path's power into his white avatar, Master Yuanshi finally regained his mobility.

Without hesitation, Master Yuanshi spoke clearly:

"Above the Human Dao, I, Master Yuanshi, vow to lead the Human Sect in offering Luo Fu as the Common Lord of All Beings—may the Human Dao bear witness!"

Boom—

The surroundings trembled as vast quantities of Human Dao fortune surged together.

And the point of convergence? The very location of the white Master Yuanshi.

This was the marvel of Master Yuanshi's Yin-Yang Avatar technique: it not only mirrored his Primordial Spirit's origin, but also fully transferred the presence of the black avatar to the white avatar.

Master Yuanshi was the first to establish a sect to civilize humanity; though the Human Sect never grew powerful, in name it remained humanity's foremost sect.

Even the Jibianfu Sect could not surpass the Human Sect in this regard.

Of course, even if the Jibianfu Sect could completely overthrow the Human Sect, the Western Two Saints would likely dare not attempt it.

Though Master Yuanshi was tranquil and inactive, this did not mean he cared for nothing.

The other Saints held deep apprehension toward Master Yuanshi.

Thus, under normal circumstances, the other Saints never encroached upon Master Yuanshi's interests.

Moreover, the Human Sect's interests were not extensive.

As the first to establish a sect and nominally humanity's foremost sect, the Human Dao fortune concentrated upon Master Yuanshi was only slightly less than that of Pingxin Niangniang.

Had humanity not been created by Pingxin Niangniang, and had she not also held a portion of the demonic race's fortune, her Human Dao fortune might not have surpassed Master Yuanshi's.

After all, humanity is the central race of all beings.

And the share of human fortune held by Master Yuanshi was not much less than Pingxin Niangniang's.

As soon as the Human Dao fortune manifested, Master Yuanshi immediately directed it toward Luo Fu.

Delay invites change.

Since Ancestor Hongjun had already moved against the Saints, he might well intervene to intercept the gathering Human Dao fortune.

Of course, Master Yuanshi's concern was unnecessary.

Within the Primordial World, Human Dao holds absolute priority, just as Heaven's Path does.

Unless Ancestor Hongjun's primary Dao was Fortune and he had elevated it to Heaven-Path level, he could not intercept Human Dao fortune.

As for mobilizing Heaven's Path to intercept it—impossible.

Heaven's Path operates according to its own logic.

The Human Dao fortune on Master Yuanshi was devoured by Heaven's Path because Master Yuanshi had already sacrificed it to Heaven's Path.

Only after Master Yuanshi's sacrifice did Heaven's Path gain the right to intervene.

The Human Dao fortune on Master Yuanshi had not been sacrificed to Heaven's Path; thus, Heaven's Path had no right to interfere or intercept.

Just as Master Yuanshi manifested his Yin-Yang Avatars, successfully broke free from Ancestor Hongjun's control, and channeled all his Human Dao fortune to Luo Fu, unexpected events occurred on Pingxin Niangniang and the Western Two Saints.

Compared to Master Yuanshi, Pingxin Niangniang's strength realm was far weaker.

Thus, Pingxin Niangniang could not, like Master Yuanshi, unleash the Three Pure Ones Technique even under Ancestor Hongjun's corruption and control.

When Master Yuanshi activated the Three Pure Ones Technique, Pingxin Niangniang was already barely holding on.

To Heaven's Path, even Saints are but ants.

For Pingxin Niangniang to resist Heaven's Path's corruption and control was already extraordinary.

Under normal circumstances, Pingxin Niangniang should have collapsed immediately, like Master Yuanshi.

Though Pingxin Niangniang did not fully succumb at once like Master Yuanshi, resisting Heaven's Path's corruption and control by her own power was nearly impossible.

Pingxin Niangniang was on the verge of total collapse at any moment under Heaven's Path's corruption.

As Pingxin Niangniang's Primordial Spirit was about to be utterly consumed by Heaven's Path—

Clang!

A sword's ring suddenly echoed from deep within Pingxin Niangniang's Primordial Spirit.

Swish!

A sharp blade of light suddenly shot forth from the depths of Nüwa Niangniang's Primordial Spirit.

This blade of light appeared unremarkable, yet carried a faint power capable of severing countless Dao paths.

The blade of light swept lightly, severing all of Nüwa Niangniang's Heavenly Dao energy within her body.

After severing the Heavenly Dao energy, the blade of light swept again.

In an instant, Nüwa Niangniang sensed that her connection to the Sacred Seat had also been directly severed by the blade of light.
