Chapter 1214

Ancestor Hongjun chose to retreat to the Primordial World, which indeed allowed him to remain invincible within it—but it also caused the fate of the Primordial World to slip entirely from his control.

Of course, all of this now has little to do with Luo Fu.

With the revival of human Dao, Luo Fu has largely achieved his own goals.

Luo Fu's sole purpose in coming to the Journey to the West World was to reverse the Journey to the West calamity.

After the revival of human Dao, this goal of Luo Fu had already been accomplished.

Ancestor Hongjun orchestrated the Journey to the West calamity to further weaken the destiny of the human race and turn them completely into puppets of Heaven's Dao.

Beyond that, Ancestor Hongjun also hoped to use the Journey to the West calamity to repair the Western Continent, fully repay his karmic debt to Heaven's Dao, further erode Heaven's Dao, and ultimately devour it entirely.

With human Dao now revived, it has become nearly impossible for Ancestor Hongjun to turn the human race into puppets of Heaven's Dao.

As the protagonists of Wan Ling, the human race is naturally protected by human Dao.

Previously, Ancestor Hongjun could divide the destiny of the human race because human Dao had not yet coalesced and had been completely sealed off by Heaven's Dao.

Now that human Dao has revived, even Heaven's Dao cannot divide the destiny of the human race.

Heaven's Dao and human Dao are inherently in competition; should Heaven's Dao dare interfere with the destiny of the human race, it will face an unrelenting counterattack from human Dao.

At present, Heaven's Dao is fully occupied sealing off human Dao and has no spare capacity to interfere with the destiny of the human race.

By the time Heaven's Dao gains spare capacity, human Dao will almost certainly have broken free from its seal.

With human Dao standing in the way, it has become utterly impossible for Ancestor Hongjun to manipulate the destiny of the human race as he once did.

As for repairing the Western Continent, Ancestor Hongjun has even less capacity to care.

The Two Western Saints are entangled by karmic curse energy; with the revival of human Dao, the karmic curse energy upon them grows ever stronger.

In the short term, the Two Western Saints have not the slightest capacity to continue repairing the Western Continent.

Ancestor Hongjun's current focus is ninety percent devoted to sealing off human Dao—he too has no spare capacity.

Even if he had spare capacity, Ancestor Hongjun's first priority should be purging the entire Primordial World, not repairing some Western Continent.

Thus, the Journey to the West calamity has become a thing of the past.

And permanently so.

Luo Fu has truly reversed the Journey to the West calamity.

I must say, the outcome of his battle with Ancestor Hongjun surprised even Luo Fu himself.

When he first entered the Journey to the West World, Luo Fu had only hoped to reverse the Journey to the West calamity to the greatest extent possible.

Even Luo Fu himself never imagined that, through his actions, he would not only fully reverse the Journey to the West calamity but also topple Ancestor Hongjun from his divine throne.

Luo Fu still holds great caution toward Ancestor Hongjun.

In raw power alone, he is truly no match for Ancestor Hongjun.

Ancestor Hongjun is a genuine Heaven's Dao-level cultivator—and an old, seasoned one at that.

Strip away all external enhancements, and even if Luo Fu unleashed every technique he possessed, he still could not defeat Ancestor Hongjun.

But with the aid of Earth's Dao and human Dao, Luo Fu has instead suppressed Ancestor Hongjun.

One might say: success came from the Primordial World, and failure came from the Primordial World.

Ancestor Hongjun, by eroding Heaven's Dao of the Primordial World, became its undisputed king, dominating the entire Primordial World and manipulating the fates of all Wan Ling.

In the end, Ancestor Hongjun himself could not escape the constraints of the Primordial World.

Had he not been unwilling to abandon the Heaven's Dao he had already eroded, unwilling to forsake the Primordial World—

Ancestor Hongjun could have mobilized all the power he controlled and fought Luo Fu without restraint.

Though Earth's Dao and human Dao can suppress Heaven's Dao,

the current Primordial World still possesses an immensely powerful Heaven's Dao.

Even united, Earth's Dao and human Dao can only slightly suppress Heaven's Dao, making it difficult for Heaven's Dao to draw upon its power—but they cannot fully seal off Heaven's Dao's strength as Heaven's Dao once sealed them.

Ancestor Hongjun is a Heaven's Dao-level cultivator; with Heaven's Dao's power behind him, if he fought without restraint, Luo Fu would have a ninety-nine percent chance of losing.

Even if Luo Fu had further tricks, they would struggle to make much difference against absolute power.

Of course, even if Ancestor Hongjun could suppress Luo Fu, he could hardly salvage the situation.

The Primordial World slipping from his control is now inevitable.

Even if Luo Fu left the Primordial World, under the conditions of revived human Dao and Earth's Dao, Ancestor Hongjun could no longer fully dictate the development of the Primordial World as he once did.

The operation of Heaven's Dao must follow its established laws; even if Ancestor Hongjun fully devoured Heaven's Dao, he would still be bound by its operational principles.

As a Heaven's Dao-level cultivator, Ancestor Hongjun's innate power is indeed immensely strong.

But under the constraints of Heaven, Earth, and human Dao, he cannot freely act within the Primordial World.

The destructive power of a Heaven's Dao-level cultivator is immense; allowing such a being to act freely would cause catastrophic damage to the Primordial World.

Even Heaven's Dao itself would find it hard to permit Ancestor Hongjun to unleash his full power.

At this point, Ancestor Hongjun has been utterly defeated.

Forget the Journey to the West calamity—nearly all of Ancestor Hongjun's efforts over countless Wushuyuan have been destroyed by Luo Fu; compared to that, the Journey to the West calamity means nothing.

"Are you trying to buy time? I'll grant you that, Hongjun. I told you before: the debt you owe to all Wan Ling of the Primordial World has come due."

Though Luo Fu has achieved his goal, he has not ceased his actions.

Though Ancestor Hongjun is restrained by human Dao, if he truly wished to target certain individuals—such as the Twelve Ancestral Patriarchs or the Three Sovereigns—he could still do so.

Lady Pingxin, Saint Taishang, and others acting in concert can indeed do nothing against Ancestor Hongjun in his current state.

But Lady Pingxin, Saint Taishang, and others cannot remain together forever; once they are separated, Ancestor Hongjun will have an opening.

Lady Pingxin, Saint Taishang, Nüwa Niangniang, and Saint Tongtian will soon break through to the Hunyuan Great Luo Jinxian realm, protected by Earth's Dao and human Dao.

Even if Ancestor Hongjun attacks them, they have a chance to defend themselves.

The others do not.

Whether the Twelve Ancestral Patriarchs or the Three Sovereigns, all remain far from the Hunyuan realm.

Even with Luo Fu's full assistance, it would be extremely difficult for them to break through to the Hunyuan Dala Jin Xian realm in a short time.

Without breaking through to the Hunyuan Dala Jin Xian realm, even with the protection of Earth Dao and Human Dao, they are still like ants in the eyes of Ancestor Hongjun.

Even if Ancestor Hongjun does not act personally, he can directly command the Twelve Yuan Chen to trap and kill them.

Without the strength of the Hunyuan layer, even with the protection of Earth Dao and Human Dao, they may not survive a single breath against the trapping and killing of the Twelve Yuan Chen.
