Chapter 1222
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
········
The moment the power of karmic curse touched Ancestor Hongjun, countless black shadows of living beings appeared upon his Primordial Spirit, completely enveloping it.
In an instant, Ancestor Hongjun felt countless agonized screams arise within his Primordial Spirit.
These screams struck directly at Ancestor Hongjun's Primordial Spirit.
Even with all his Primordial Spirit power mobilized, he could not block out these agonized screams.
The screams within Ancestor Hongjun's Primordial Spirit all originated from the vast multitude of black shadows forming the karmic curse power—these were the cries of countless beings as they died horribly, their accusations against Ancestor Hongjun.
Splash!
The instant these screams appeared, Ancestor Hongjun felt his mind and spirit instantly flooded entirely by them, losing all perception of the outside world.
Ancestor Hongjun's loss of mental control caused the Great Dao chains encircling Human Dao to begin undulating uncontrollably.
Boom!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Luo Fu also sensed this situation—he commanded Human Dao to suddenly erupt.
The furious river of Human Dao slammed directly into the Great Dao chains.
Since Ancestor Hongjun merged with Heavenly Dao and recondensed the three thousand Great Dao chains, not much time had passed.
The remnants of the previous Great Dao chains had not fully shattered.
After recondensing the three thousand Great Dao chains, the remaining hundreds of chains, deprived of most of Heavenly Dao's reinforcement, had lost their power to near zero.
Under the impact of the Human Dao river, all these Great Dao chains shattered in an instant.
After the mighty Human Dao river tore through these chains, its power remained undiminished, continuing to surge toward the newly recondensed three thousand Great Dao chains.
Not only did Human Dao strike, but Earth Dao also unleashed its magic power—the dark yellow river of Earth Dao simultaneously slammed into the newly recondensed three thousand Great Dao chains.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Due to Ancestor Hongjun's temporary loss of mental control, the newly recondensed three thousand Great Dao chains appeared unstable, their power significantly diminished compared to their initial state—this was the perfect moment to strike.
The combined force of the two rivers struck the three thousand Great Dao chains, and a continuous chorus of snapping sounds erupted.
In an instant, over a thousand Great Dao chains shattered simultaneously.
Even the Heavenly Dao Jade Disc, fused into Heavenly Dao, faintly manifested a phantom image.
Clearly, the assaults from Earth Dao and Human Dao had inflicted considerable damage upon the three thousand Great Dao chains.
The shattering of over a thousand Great Dao chains instantly awakened Ancestor Hongjun.
Regaining clarity, Ancestor Hongjun immediately mobilized Heavenly Dao power to temporarily suppress the karmic curse force upon his Primordial Spirit, restoring his focus to the three thousand Great Dao chains.
Under Ancestor Hongjun's control, the three thousand Great Dao chains began to circulate rapidly, repairing the broken chains at an astonishing speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Although Earth Dao and Human Dao continued to assault the three thousand Great Dao chains, under Ancestor Hongjun's control, their impacts were neutralized in various ways by the chains.
The three thousand Great Dao chains under Ancestor Hongjun's control were an entirely different matter from those without his control.
As a Heaven Dao-level powerhouse, Ancestor Hongjun possessed immense combat experience and technique.
He could manipulate the three thousand Great Dao chains to neutralize the assaults from Earth Dao and Human Dao in the most optimal manner.
In contrast, the three thousand Great Dao chains without Ancestor Hongjun's control, acting only on instinct, could only brute-force absorb the assaults from Earth Dao and Human Dao.
After a brief moment, all the damaged sections of the three thousand Great Dao chains were fully restored, and Human Dao remained completely sealed.
Although he had repelled the assaults from Earth Dao and Human Dao, Ancestor Hongjun's eyes held no trace of triumph—only deep gloom.
The karmic curse force had merely been temporarily suppressed by Ancestor Hongjun, not eradicated.
On the Western Saints, Ancestor Hongjun had witnessed firsthand how tenacious the karmic curse force could be.
Though Heavenly Dao power could temporarily suppress the karmic curse force, it could not suppress it indefinitely.
As soon as an opportunity arose, the karmic curse force would break through Heavenly Dao's suppression and strike again at Ancestor Hongjun's mind.
The karmic curse force had little direct effect on Ancestor Hongjun and could not inflict any real physical harm.
Yet under the assault of the karmic curse force, Ancestor Hongjun's mind was inevitably disturbed.
Even Ancestor Hongjun could not endure the endless, frantic screaming that filled his ears.
More importantly, these screams were extremely difficult to block out.
Just now, Ancestor Hongjun had easily suppressed the assaults from Earth Dao and Human Dao.
But that did not mean he could always suppress them so effortlessly.
Currently, Earth Dao and Human Dao were not yet in their full states.
Especially Human Dao, newly formed, still had vast room for growth in power.
Over time, Earth Dao and Human Dao would only grow stronger.
When Earth Dao and Human Dao became powerful enough, if Ancestor Hongjun again lost mental control due to the karmic curse force, it would not be just over a thousand Great Dao chains that shattered—but all three thousand.
The likelihood of this happening was very high.
