Chapter 1223: Primordial Creation Thunder Strikes Ancestor Hongjun! Tear Apart the Split Form!

Thus, Ancestor Hongjun was forced to allocate a portion of his spirit to constantly monitor the power of karmic curses; should the karmic curse power break free of suppression, that portion of spirit would immediately redeploy heavenly dao energy to repress it again.

In other words, the karmic curse power had not truly harmed Ancestor Hongjun—it had merely tied up a portion of his spirit.

And this was precisely Luo Fu's goal.

Though the karmic curse power was troublesome, it was not lethal.

The Two Western Saints were also entangled by the karmic curse power, yet they could only temporarily refrain from full action, forced to seal themselves within Mount Sumeru; their own lives remained largely unaffected.

Ancestor Hongjun was a heavenly dao-level powerhouse; the karmic curse power's influence on him would be even smaller.

Luo Fu understood this clearly.

From the very beginning, Luo Fu never expected the karmic curse power to harm Ancestor Hongjun.

He merely sought to use the karmic curse power to bind a portion of Ancestor Hongjun's spirit.

Even a heavenly dao-level powerhouse has limited spirit.

Once spirit is devoted to one matter, it cannot be applied to another.

Of course, for a heavenly dao-level powerhouse, multitasking posed no issue.

Not even multitasking a hundred millionfold was an issue for a heavenly dao-level powerhouse.

Yet even a heavenly dao-level powerhouse needed to commit most of his spirit to unleash his full strength.

The three thousand chains sealing human dao were jointly arranged by Ancestor Hongjun and heavenly dao; to sort through the three thousand dao, Ancestor Hongjun had invested considerable spirit.

Now, another portion of Ancestor Hongjun's spirit was entangled by the karmic curse power.

This meant Ancestor Hongjun could hardly spare any additional strength to interfere with the development of the Primordial World.

Unless Ancestor Hongjun was willing to abandon the sealing of human dao, within a short time he could not spare the strength to scheme against the Twelve Ancestral Wushen and the Three Sovereigns, or interfere with the Primordial World's development.

Luo Fu's move had, for now, completely trapped Ancestor Hongjun.

"Clever move, Luo Fu. We will meet again—our account will one day be settled."

The split form of Ancestor Hongjun, whose eyes had previously closed, suddenly opened them and glared coldly at Luo Fu.

Hearing Ancestor Hongjun's words, Luo Fu offered no rebuttal—only a faint smile as he once again activated the Chaos Pearl behind him.

Instantly, the karmic curse power, previously suppressed by Ancestor Hongjun, surged again; countless cries flickered in and out of audibility.

"Luo Fu…"

Ancestor Hongjun was about to speak further, but his expression changed abruptly; within his split form's eyes, the light gradually faded.

Clearly, Ancestor Hongjun had withdrawn all his spirit from the split form.

Boom—

Zzzzz~~~

A thick bolt of lightning suddenly appeared atop the Chaos Pearl.

This lightning was none other than the Primordial Creation Thunder that Ancestor Hongjun had previously used to strike Luo Fu.

Using his own method against him: since Ancestor Hongjun had once used Primordial Creation Thunder to strike Luo Fu, Luo Fu would now return the favor with Primordial Creation Thunder.

Yes, the Primordial Creation Thunder condensed on the Chaos Pearl was meant to strike Ancestor Hongjun.

More precisely, it was meant to strike Ancestor Hongjun's split form.

Until now, in his battle with Ancestor Hongjun, Luo Fu had been purely on the defensive—never once had he launched a direct attack against Ancestor Hongjun.
