Chapter 1218: Ancestor Hongjun

And each of these shadows was connected by a thin thread.

One end of this thread linked to countless shadows, the other end connected to Ancestor Hongjun.

The thread was a thread of cause and effect.

Nearly every discovery during several cosmic cycles was orchestrated by Ancestor Hongjun.

The deaths of these beings were all tied to Ancestor Hongjun.

To Ancestor Hongjun, these dead beings were nothing but ants.

Even if countless ants perished, it would have no effect whatsoever on Ancestor Hongjun, a Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse.

Indeed, ants who were not even Hunyuan-level cultivators were entirely different from a Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse; no matter how many ants died, they could not affect the Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse.

In a certain sense, Ancestor Hongjun and the Primordial World were of the same level.

These dead beings were all lifeforms nurtured by the Primordial World.

To the Primordial World, the birth and death of these beings had no impact whatsoever on the world itself.

Likewise, the birth and death of these beings had no effect whatsoever on Ancestor Hongjun.

Even if the deaths of these beings generated vast amounts of cause-and-effect, Ancestor Hongjun had never cared.

The cause-and-effect of ants, no matter how much, could not affect Ancestor Hongjun in the slightest.

To a Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse, lifeforms below the Hunyuan layer were as insignificant as dust.

Under normal circumstances, this was indeed true.

Ancestor Hongjun was not the Western Two Saints; he was a Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse.

The Western Two Saints were merely Hunyuan-level, not on the same tier as the Three Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

Thus, the Western Two Saints were bound by the Three Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

If the Western Two Saints dared to massacre the myriad lifeforms of the Primordial World during the resurgence of Human Dao, they would be instantly suppressed by Human Dao.

Even if the deaths of the myriad lifeforms of the Primordial World were only indirectly caused by the Western Two Saints, as long as the cause-and-effect linked to them, Human Dao would suppress them without mercy.

But with Ancestor Hongjun, it was different.

Ancestor Hongjun was on the same level as Human Dao, and he had devoured over half of the Heavenly Dao, making him effectively part of the Heavenly Dao itself.

Unless Ancestor Hongjun personally slaughtered the myriad lifeforms of the Primordial World, Human Dao alone could hardly suppress him.

Therefore, even if Ancestor Hongjun bore countless cause-and-effect, under normal circumstances, these cause-and-effects would not affect him.

This refers to normal circumstances; if someone intervened, transformed these cause-and-effects into curse power, and amplified them, it would be different.

Luo Fu is now doing exactly that.

Pure cause-and-effect indeed could hardly harm Ancestor Hongjun.

But if Luo Fu converted all these cause-and-effects into cause-and-effect curse power, it would be different.

Vast amounts of cause-and-effect curse power could not harm Ancestor Hongjun, but they could constantly cling to him.

As long as Ancestor Hongjun did not erase these cause-and-effect curse powers, they would act like a negative buff, perpetually affecting him.

Hum!

Under Luo Fu's control, countless shadows merged into one, forming an extremely dense black mist.

This mist was entirely composed of cause-and-effect curse power.

With a thought, Luo Fu sent these cause-and-effect curse powers surging along the invisible threads of cause and effect toward Ancestor Hongjun.

At the moment this black mist appeared, Ancestor Hongjun, who was fully focused on sealing Human Dao, felt a strong sense of dread.

But ninety-nine percent of his spirit was devoted to sealing Human Dao; he had no spare energy to attend to anything else.

By the time Ancestor Hongjun realized the source of his dread, vast amounts of cause-and-effect curse power had already spread along the threads of cause and effect to his Primordial Spirit.

"Cause-and-effect power—damn it, Luo Fu, I will settle every account with you in time."

The moment the cause-and-effect curse power appeared near his Primordial Spirit, Ancestor Hongjun recognized its origin.

Though Ancestor Hongjun was not skilled in the Dao of Cause and Effect, he had mastered the Heavenly Dao and had some understanding of the Three Thousand Daos.

Instantly, Ancestor Hongjun activated the Dao of Cause and Effect, attempting to block the cause-and-effect curse power.

Ancestor Hongjun had seen cause-and-effect curse power before on the Western Two Saints; he knew well how insidious it was.

These cause-and-effect curse powers could not inflict direct harm upon him, but they could bind a portion of his spirit.

Right now, Ancestor Hongjun had already devoted most of his spirit to manipulating the Heavenly Dao Jade Disc to seal Human Dao; if more of his spirit were tied down by cause-and-effect curse power, he would have no spare spirit left to control anything else.

Ancestor Hongjun chose to retreat to the Primordial World precisely to continue his schemes there, slowly erasing the adverse effects Luo Fu had caused.

The Primordial World was his domain; with countless Wushuyuan Society's accumulated resources, Ancestor Hongjun was confident he could reclaim control of the Primordial World through various means.

Ancestor Hongjun was fully aware of his advantages.
