Chapter 1224

Of course, Luo Fu did not act first because, in raw power alone, he was no match for Ancestor Hongjun.

If you're no match and still strike first, you're asking for death.

But now it's different—Ancestor Hongjun's spirit is almost entirely occupied, unable to even maintain a single projection, so Luo Fu has no more Gu Ji.

Having been struck by Ancestor Hongjun for so long, Luo Fu was still simmering with anger.

Rip~~~

Black lightning tore through space itself and descended straight onto Ancestor Hongjun's projection.

Boom!

It was merely a projection, and its spirit had already been drained by Ancestor Hongjun—it stood no chance against Luo Fu's attack.

The Creation Thunder struck Ancestor Hongjun's projection without the slightest hesitation.

Boom!

The weakened projection was instantly shredded by the Creation Thunder, dissolving into the chaotic void.

The moment Ancestor Hongjun's projection was shredded by the Creation Thunder, Heaven Beyond Heaven, the Heavenly Court, the Fire Cloud Cave, and Gai Jiuyou all fell utterly silent.

The Supreme Saint, Pingxin Niangniang, and others did not know the specifics of Luo Fu's clash with Ancestor Hongjun.

So they did not realize that Luo Fu and Ancestor Hongjun's clash had already ended.

When the Supreme Saint and Nüwa broke free from the Heavenly Dao's control and transferred the human destiny's qi to Luo Fu, the outcome between Luo Fu and Ancestor Hongjun had already been decided.

After that, Ancestor Hongjun chose to retreat into the Primordial World.

Since Ancestor Hongjun had retreated into the Primordial World, the battle between Luo Fu and Ancestor Hongjun naturally ended.

The Supreme Saint, Pingxin Niangniang, and others had limited vision—they were not even Luo Jinxian—so it was natural they could not perceive the changes.

The clash between Heavenly Dao-level cultivators is not limited to direct combat.

In fact, the clash between Heavenly Dao-level cultivators may involve any aspect whatsoever.

Luo Jinxian merely master the Dao, yet remain within its boundaries.

Thus, the strength of Luo Jinxian still depends on their own power and the strength of the Dao they command.

At the Heavenly Dao level, however, it is different—unlike the Hunyuan layer, which only comprehends and applies the Dao, the Heavenly Dao level involves concepts themselves.

Heavenly Dao-level cultivators can forcibly suppress other Daos using their own Dao, temporarily altering fundamental Daoic laws.

Therefore, clashes between Heavenly Dao-level cultivators occur mostly on the Daoic level, even the conceptual level—victory is rarely decided by pure combat.

As for the Dao-level, far above the Heavenly Dao level, it is even more terrifying.

Heavenly Dao-level cultivators can only temporarily alter Daoic laws; Dao-level cultivators can permanently alter certain Daoic laws.

If the hallmark of a Heavenly Dao-level cultivator is one Dao suppressing ten thousand Daos, then the hallmark of a Dao-level cultivator is that he is the Dao itself.

A Dao-level cultivator is the Dao itself; his will is the very law of the Dao's operation.

The Dao of a Heavenly Dao-level cultivator can only temporarily suppress other Daos—it is not eternal.

Upon death, the Dao comprehended by a Heavenly Dao-level cultivator dissipates with them.

Dao-level cultivators are different—their comprehended Daos, like the Three Thousand Daos, are eternal.
