Chapter 1333

Since the provocation of Ancestor Hongjun was achieved through the projection of the Legendary Split-Self, the entity traveling to the Primordial World must also be a projection of the Legendary Split-Self.

With a slight flicker of his mind, Luo Fu's consciousness directly connected with the Changhe.

The next instant, the vast Changhe appeared within his consciousness.

This Changhe completely enveloped the entire Primordial World.

Through the Primordial World, Luo Fu could clearly perceive every corner of it.

Without expending much effort, Luo Fu had already sensed a specific location.

Immediately, Luo Fu directly communicated with the Legendary Split-Self's projection within the Changhe of the Primordial World.

Shh!

The next instant, a figure began to coalesce within the Primordial World.

This figure was none other than the projection of the Legendary Split-Self.

The projection appeared at the Zi Xiao Palace.

The Primordial World was still in the Great Era of the Wu and Yao, and Ancestor Hongjun had not yet fully withdrawn from its history.

Therefore, Ancestor Hongjun's current location was most likely the Zi Xiao Palace.

Luo Fu's guess was correct—Ancestor Hongjun was indeed currently in the Zi Xiao Palace.

At the very moment the projection of the Legendary Split-Self appeared, Ancestor Hongjun, within the Zi Xiao Palace, suddenly opened his closed eyes.

An invisible pressure shot forth from Ancestor Hongjun's gaze, piercing through the Zi Xiao Palace and striking the projection of the Legendary Split-Self.

With the power of the Legendary Split-Self's projection, Luo Fu had a hundred percent certainty he could force Ancestor Hongjun to compromise.

Therefore, Luo Fu did not choose to conceal the projection's aura—he chose instead to unleash it fully and without reservation.

Only by demonstrating sufficient strength could he truly force Ancestor Hongjun to compromise.

Power alone determines everything.

If one wishes to force Ancestor Hongjun to compromise, one must display strength capable of compelling Ancestor Hongjun to compromise.

With Luo Fu's current power, there was no longer any need to hide.

Of course, the aura Luo Fu emitted extended only over the Zi Xiao Palace.

Moreover, to perceive Luo Fu's overwhelming aura, one's own strength had to be immense.

One needed at least the realm of Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian to sense Luo Fu's aura.

Within the Zi Xiao Palace, only Ancestor Hongjun surpassed the realm of Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian.

In other words, the aura Luo Fu emitted targeted Ancestor Hongjun directly.

As Luo Fu had anticipated, Ancestor Hongjun immediately sensed Luo Fu's aura and locked onto the projection of the Legendary Split-Self.

"Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian? This is the aura of a Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian! When did the Primordial World give birth to a Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian? And this is no ordinary Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian—this aura may rival that of the Heavenly Dao! Who exactly is this being?"

Ancestor Hongjun indeed sensed the aura emitted by the projection of the Legendary Split-Self at once, and without hesitation, his gaze and perception fixed upon it.

For anyone else, Ancestor Hongjun might not have reacted so urgently.

Within the Primordial World, Ancestor Hongjun was nearly invincible.

Any living being in the Primordial World, if Ancestor Hongjun wished, could have all their information revealed through the Heavenly Dao.

Those who dared defy him in the Primordial World, Ancestor Hongjun never paid much attention to—even a glance was too much.

To Ancestor Hongjun, these people were already dead.

But the projection of the Legendary Split-Self was different—its aura was far too peculiar.

Luo Fu made no effort to conceal his aura; Ancestor Hongjun could clearly perceive it.

Precisely because he could perceive it clearly, Ancestor Hongjun grew even more puzzled.

From the aura alone, the projection of the Legendary Split-Self appeared to have just broken through into Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian, its power barely stabilized.

Yet the intensity of the aura emitted by the projection suggested at least peak Hunyuan, possibly even rivaling a Heavenly Dao-level cultivator.

Ancestor Hongjun felt a sense of threat emanating from the projection of the Legendary Split-Self.

This threat made Ancestor Hongjun believe the projection possessed at least the means of a Heavenly Dao-level cultivator—mere Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian alone could not have generated such a threat.

Thus, Ancestor Hongjun was deeply curious about Luo Fu's identity—he simply could not fathom when a Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian had emerged in the Primordial World.

The appearance of the projection had not triggered any warning from the Heavenly Dao; thus, Ancestor Hongjun could confirm the projection was a native of the Primordial World.

The moment his gaze landed on the projection of the Legendary Split-Self, Ancestor Hongjun froze.

"This is Luo Fu. When did he break through to Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian? And this aura—indeed peak Hunyuan. How is this possible? Only recently he was still at the peak of Zhun Sheng."

The instant he recognized Luo Fu's identity, Ancestor Hongjun froze.

Ancestor Hongjun was very familiar with Luo Fu.

For any other Zhun Sheng in the Primordial World, Ancestor Hongjun might not have been so familiar.

Even though Zhun Sheng were now exceedingly rare in the Primordial World, Ancestor Hongjun did not know all of them intimately.

To Ancestor Hongjun, Shengren were merely slightly larger ants—let alone mere Zhun Sheng.

His familiarity with Luo Fu stemmed only from the fact that Luo Fu had condensed the Earth Dao and beaten up Saint Zhunti.

It was because of that incident that Luo Fu had finally earned a place on Ancestor Hongjun's radar.

Precisely because he was familiar, Ancestor Hongjun was especially perplexed.

It had not been long since Luo Fu condensed the Earth Dao and beat up Saint Zhunti.

To Ancestor Hongjun, that span of time was not even enough for a nap.

Yet Luo Fu had broken through to Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian within that time, and his realm had already reached peak Hunyuan.

Such a drastic transformation in so short a time left even Ancestor Hongjun profoundly astonished.

"Hongjun, come out and meet me. I have some questions I need to ask you."

The projection of the Legendary Split-Self also sensed Ancestor Hongjun's gaze.

Therefore, the projection of the legendary avatar spoke without any courtesy.

Yet, the voice of the legendary avatar's projection remained restricted—only Ancestor Hongjun could hear it.

The 659th became the master of the Primordial World! A different Ancestor Hongjun!

Most of the time, Luo Fu still preferred to remain low-key.

Unless absolutely necessary, Luo Fu would not choose to be conspicuous.

Previously, when he condensed the Earth Dao and brutally beat the Semi-Saints, Luo Fu did so only when he could no longer tolerate it.

Publicly condensing the Human Dao in the Journey to the West World was also a last resort—there was no better way for Luo Fu to suppress Ancestor Hongjun.

At present, Luo Fu has no need to be conspicuous; merely relying on the projection of the legendary avatar, he already had the confidence to restrain Ancestor Hongjun.

If he could accomplish it himself, there was no need to be conspicuous.

Luo Fu did not wish his friends in the Primordial World to face him in the future with reverence.

Therefore, this matter of forcing Ancestor Hongjun to compromise, Luo Fu hoped would occur only between himself and Ancestor Hongjun.

Although he did not conceal his aura, the moment he appeared in the Purple Cloud Palace, he had already used certain methods to transport the Purple Cloud Palace into a separate orange realm.

"You are Luo Fu. I never expected you to have broken through to the Huan Yuan Da Luo Jinxian realm—and it seems you are not merely at the initial stage. When did you break through to the Huan Yuan Da Luo Jinxian realm? What brings you to the Purple Cloud Palace, young friend?"

Upon hearing Luo Fu's words, Ancestor Hongjun flickered forward and appeared directly before Luo Fu.

Compared to the Ancestor Hongjun of the Journey to the West World, the Ancestor Hongjun of the Primordial World appeared gentler and more benevolent, his tone relatively mild, lacking the domineering arrogance of the Journey to the West World's Ancestor Hongjun.

Feeling the gentleness in Ancestor Hongjun's words, Luo Fu was slightly surprised.

The projection of the legendary avatar had just spoken with no courtesy—even bordering on insult.

Even an ordinary Heaven Dao-level cultivator would never permit a Huan Yuan Da Luo Jinxian to insult them.

Not to mention Ancestor Hongjun, who was already somewhat domineering.

According to his original prediction, Ancestor Hongjun should have immediately suppressed him with Heavenly Authority and given him a lesson.

I have to say, Hongjun Daozu's gentle tone completely disrupted Luo Fu's original plan.

Luo Fu came to the Purple Cloud Palace intending to use the projection of the legendary avatar to force Ancestor Hongjun to compromise and cease excessive interference in the Primordial World.

Since he came to force Ancestor Hongjun to compromise, there was no need for courtesy.

To make Ancestor Hongjun compromise, combat was unavoidable.

Only by making Ancestor Hongjun recognize his strength could he force Ancestor Hongjun to compromise.

Therefore, Luo Fu's original plan was to provoke Ancestor Hongjun into attacking him.

Through combat, he intended to make Ancestor Hongjun recognize his strength, thereby forcing Ancestor Hongjun to agree to his demands.

Yet, Luo Fu had not anticipated that his plan would fail outright at the first step.

The utterly domineering Ancestor Hongjun of the Journey to the West World had become unexpectedly gentle in the Primordial World—even ignoring his insult outright.
