Chapter 1229
Possessing the trait of indestructible immortality, as long as Luo Fu is given a moment's respite, the grievous wounds inflicted by Ancestor Hongjun can rapidly heal.
As a fellow Tian Dao-level powerhouse, Ancestor Hongjun cannot inflict root-level damage upon Luo Fu, even with the aid of the Tian Dao.
The strength of the Tian Dao lies in power, not in realm.
At the Hunyuan layer, one attains the Tian Dao level, where realm matters more than power.
Only when one's realm utterly crushes the opponent can one inflict root-level damage—or even directly kill them.
Pangu was able to slay countless Chaotic Divine Demons precisely because he stood at the Half-Tian Dao level.
The Half-Tian Dao level already grants partial Great Dao Realm power, enabling one to inflict root-level damage upon—and even target—Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian and Tian Dao-level powerhouses.
Precisely for this reason, Pangu was able to slay so many Chaotic Divine Demons in such a short time.
If one's realm does not crush the opponent, relying solely on power to kill a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian or Tian Dao-level powerhouse is possible only one way: sealing them away and slowly eroding them.
Though the Tian Dao's power surpasses that of most Tian Dao-level powerhouses, in realm, the Tian Dao is not necessarily superior to them.
Thus, the Tian Dao's method of eradicating Tian Dao-level powerhouses is likewise to first seal them, then slowly erode them.
Within the Hunyuan world, the Tian Dao can indeed be called invincible.
But this invincibility has its limits.
If only one or two Tian Dao-level powerhouses enter the world, the Tian Dao can indeed mobilize the world's power to easily suppress them.
But if seven or eight, or even more than a dozen Tian Dao-level powerhouses enter, the Tian Dao can no longer remain invincible.
Even if the Tian Dao mobilizes the entire world's power, eradicating a single Tian Dao-level powerhouse requires immense time.
Sealing and imprisoning a Tian Dao-level powerhouse likewise demands massive, sustained consumption of world power.
After all, Tian Dao-level powerhouses are not lifeless objects—they will not passively accept imprisonment.
Each Tian Dao-level powerhouse sealed requires massive world power to maintain the seal.
Even a Hunyuan world has finite capacity.
A typical Hunyuan world can simultaneously imprison five or six Tian Dao-level powerhouses at its absolute limit.
Beyond this number, maintaining seal stability becomes extremely difficult.
Thus, the Tian Dao is not truly invincible.
Once the number of Tian Dao-level powerhouses entering the Hunyuan world exceeds its carrying capacity,
then that Hunyuan world will suffer catastrophic destruction.
A single unrestricted Tian Dao-level powerhouse can effortlessly annihilate all life within a Hunyuan world.
Of course, under normal circumstances, few Tian Dao-level powerhouses would even target a Hunyuan world.
To Tian Dao-level powerhouses, a mere Hunyuan world holds limited value and presents immense difficulty to conquer—like a thorn in the side.
A typical Tian Dao-level powerhouse would not even consider a Hunyuan world, let alone more than a dozen Tian Dao-level powerhouses simultaneously targeting one.
The topic has strayed too far.
In short, under normal circumstances, even with Tian Dao's blessing, Ancestor Hongjun cannot possibly inflict root-level damage—or kill—a Tian Dao-level powerhouse in a short time.
If the target were an ordinary Tian Dao-level powerhouse, Ancestor Hongjun could use the Tian Dao to seal them, then slowly erode them.
But Luo Fu is no ordinary Tian Dao-level powerhouse—he is also protected by the Earth Dao and the Human Dao.
Even if Ancestor Hongjun finds an opportunity to seal Luo Fu, with the aid of the Earth Dao and Human Dao, Luo Fu will soon break free.
The brief time required to seal Luo Fu is utterly insufficient to erode him.
This is one reason why, after the revival of the Human Dao and the completion of the Earth Dao, Ancestor Hongjun ceased his attacks on Luo Fu.
For Ancestor Hongjun well knows that even with the full power of the Tian Dao, he cannot inflict any substantial harm upon Luo Fu.
From the moment the Human Dao revived, the balance of the Primordial World had irrevocably changed.
As long as Luo Fu lives, Ancestor Hongjun can never again dominate the entire Primordial World as he once did.
In raw power alone, even with the Earth Dao and Human Dao's blessings, Luo Fu is still no match for Ancestor Hongjun.
Ancestor Hongjun is fully aware of this.
But Luo Fu can use his indestructible immortality to entangle Ancestor Hongjun.
With Luo Fu entangling him, Ancestor Hongjun can no longer interfere with the Primordial World as freely as before.
The original purpose of Luo Fu was to temporarily gain the ability to resist Ancestor Hongjun by leveraging his indestructible immortality.
Relying on his own depth and Great Dao realm, Luo Fu fears Ancestor Hongjun not at all—he merely respects him.
For Luo Fu well knows that Ancestor Hongjun cannot kill him.
Thus from the outset, Luo Fu had great confidence he could complete the task of reversing the Journey to the West calamity.
Five Hundred and Ninety-Ninth: Tian Dao's Erosion! Directly Suppressing the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian!
Even if he fails, Luo Fu has full confidence he can escape unscathed.
Ancestor Hongjun's power is indeed immense, but under Luo Fu's indestructible immortality, even if Luo Fu openly reveals his intent to reverse the calamity, Ancestor Hongjun can only use the Tian Dao to seal him, then slowly erode him.
The seal formed by the Tian Dao's mobilization of world power is extremely potent—ordinary Tian Dao-level powerhouses find it nearly impossible to break free.
But Luo Fu is different; with the many methods he controls, he still has a chance to break the Tian Dao's seal.
Moreover, even if Luo Fu himself cannot break free, he still has the Ultimate Card: the Multiverse Chat Group.
If he truly cannot escape the seal, Luo Fu can simply abandon the mission.
As the owner of the Multiverse Chat Group, even if Luo Fu abandons the mission, he will not suffer severe punishment—merely a deduction of some points.
Points from the Multiverse Chat Group hold little value for Luo Fu.
Even if all his points were deducted, he would not care.
Luo Fu caused such a commotion in the Journey to the West World precisely because he could guarantee his own safety with absolute certainty.
In the Primordial World, Luo Fu would never dare such recklessness.
Had Ancestor Hongjun not been in the critical moment of devouring the Tian Dao, unable to divert attention to the affairs of the Primordial World.
If not for Luo Fu's hidden ability to completely conceal his realm's traces within the Primordial World,
his actions would long ago have been detected by Ancestor Hongjun.
Reaching this point involved much chance and coincidence.
To revive the Way of Humanity and restore the Way of Earth, Luo Fu has intervened many times, leaving behind numerous traces.
If Ancestor Hongjun had truly been intent, he could easily have sensed even the faintest clues.
Even if he had not noticed, when Luo Fu revealed part of his strength, Ancestor Hongjun could have chosen to act against him outright.
At that time, if Ancestor Hongjun had directly struck Luo Fu and forced his hidden cards to surface early, the outcome would not be as it is now.
The Dao of Heaven has tied up too much of Ancestor Hongjun's attention, leaving him little spare energy to focus on other matters.
Moreover, the Dao of Heaven's assimilation has also affected Ancestor Hongjun to some degree, causing him to gradually grow indifferent to most living beings.
The Dao of Heaven's influence played a major role in why Ancestor Hongjun did not act against Luo Fu sooner.
To the Dao of Heaven, all beings below the Dao of Heaven level are mere ants, unworthy of notice.
Even a Chaos Great Luo Jinxian is, to the Dao of Heaven, only a slightly larger ant.
A Chaos Great Luo Jinxian's full-power strike still causes some damage to the Primordial World, but such damage is relatively limited.
Before a Chaos Great Luo Jinxian can cause greater destruction, the Dao of Heaven reacts instantly and crushes him outright.
Dao of Heaven-level powerhouses are different: if left unchecked, they could destroy nearly half the Primordial World before the Dao of Heaven can react.
The Dao of Heaven generally keeps close watch on Dao of Heaven-level powerhouses—this is the instinct of every Dao of Heaven.
If the Dao of Heaven ignores Chaos Great Luo Jinxian, how much less would it care about a Semi-Sage?
A mere Semi-Sage is simply not worth noticing.
The Dao of Heaven is a machine, not a living being; it recognizes only realm, not combat power.
No matter how strong Luo Fu's combat power appears, to the Dao of Heaven he remains merely a Semi-Sage.
Unless Luo Fu's combat power reaches the Dao of Heaven level and inflicts massive destruction upon the Primordial World,
the Dao of Heaven will not pay him any significant attention.
Ancestor Hongjun has also been affected by this, and has not taken Luo Fu seriously enough.
Otherwise, with Ancestor Hongjun's wisdom and methods, he would long ago have employed various means to test—or even forcibly seize—Luo Fu.
Not allowed Luo Fu to fully uncover his hidden cards.
Ancestor Hongjun's response this time, while not foolish, is far from wise—this does not match his intellect.
The current outcome involves too much coincidence, yet also a touch of inevitability.
The Dao of Heaven's influence, combined with Ancestor Hongjun's centuries-long domination of the Primordial World, has subtly bred arrogance in him, causing him to underestimate Luo Fu.
Had Ancestor Hongjun recognized Luo Fu's threat sooner, the situation would not have reached this point.
