Chapter 1353: Begin Consuming the Heavenly Dao! Suppress Ancestor Hongjun!

Then he died in the hands of Ancestor Hongjun.

Even these weak reincarnated Chaos Gods and Demons, Ancestor Hongjun did not spare.

Not to mention Luo Fu, whom Ancestor Hongjun regarded as an extremely powerful reincarnated Chaos God and Demon.

For Ancestor Hongjun, there were two things that were his greatest taboos, one being Pangu.

Any matter involving Pangu's power or legacy, Ancestor Hongjun would take seriously.

As a thief, it was only natural for Ancestor Hongjun to fear Pangu, the true master.

Aside from Pangu, Ancestor Hongjun's other taboo was reincarnated Chaos Gods and Demons.

The myriad spirits of the Primordial World had limited knowledge and were unaware of his current state, so they would not affect his consumption of the Heavenly Dao.

The Chaos Gods and Demons were different.

Most Chaos Gods and Demons had some understanding of the Hunyuan realm.

They also knew certain secrets about consuming the Heavenly Dao.

After witnessing Ancestor Hongjun's state, they could easily deduce that his so-called "merging his body with the Dao" was in fact consuming the Heavenly Dao.

For Ancestor Hongjun, this was also a relatively important secret.

Especially now, at this time, he had only just begun consuming the Heavenly Dao.

If the matter were exposed, it could very likely lead to unintended consequences Ancestor Hongjun did not wish to see.

Therefore, Ancestor Hongjun's attitude toward reincarnated Chaos Gods and Demons was only one: better to kill wrongly than to let one slip away.

Anyone involving reincarnated Chaos Gods and Demons, upon encountering Ancestor Hongjun, met only one fate: immediate annihilation.

The strength Luo Fu displayed was simply too reminiscent of a reincarnated Chaos God and Demon.

Facing such a Luo Fu, Ancestor Hongjun's taut nerves were stirred once again.

Especially upon realizing that Luo Fu might be stronger than himself, Ancestor Hongjun's nerves became even more sensitive.

This was also why Ancestor Hongjun, at the first moment, gathered his power and sought to act against Luo Fu.

Whether or not Luo Fu was a reincarnated Chaos God and Demon, if Luo Fu might be connected to reincarnated Chaos Gods and Demons, he was an object Ancestor Hongjun needed to eliminate.

However, Luo Fu's words did have some effect.

From Luo Fu's words, Ancestor Hongjun also realized that Luo Fu might indeed not be a reincarnated Chaos God and Demon.

As Luo Fu said, if Luo Fu truly were a reincarnated Chaos God and Demon, and moreover one stronger than him.

Then when Luo Fu chose to stand before him, he would surely be certain that Ancestor Hongjun could not harm him.

A Chaos God and Demon who mastered the Three Thousand Great Dao would have received numerous legacies and likely knew more secrets than Ancestor Hongjun himself.

Such a powerful being would surely understand just how formidable a Heavenly Dao-level cultivator—capable of merging with the Dao and wielding Heavenly Dao power—truly was.

Even if Luo Fu truly were a Chaos God and Demon, when he returned to the Primordial World and ceased concealing his strength, it meant he could guarantee his safety within the Primordial World.

Moreover, if Luo Fu truly were a Chaos God and Demon and had already restored to his peak, he had no reason to continue concealing his identity.

Having already restored to his peak and possessing means Ancestor Hongjun could not counter, continuing to conceal his identity served no purpose.

Yet Ancestor Hongjun still could not fully believe Luo Fu's words.

Luo Fu's feats were simply too incredible.

In less than twenty Yuan Hui, he rose from an ordinary mortal to a Hunyuan Daoluo Jin Xian who mastered the Three Thousand Great Dao.

Such an absurd cultivation speed, Ancestor Hongjun had never heard of.

Compared to this, Ancestor Hongjun preferred to believe that Luo Fu was indeed a reincarnated Chaos God and Demon.

Though somewhat unbelievable, Luo Fu's repeated explanations had eased Ancestor Hongjun's taut nerves somewhat; the atmosphere within the time dimension had also relaxed a little, no longer as tense as at the beginning.

Yet Ancestor Hongjun did not disperse the Heavenly Dao power condensed behind him.

Luo Fu was not surprised by this.

Luo Fu spoke merely to ease the tension between them.

Not to make Ancestor Hongjun stand down.

The battle between them was inevitable.

Whether or not Luo Fu was a reincarnated Chaos God and Demon, this battle was unavoidable.

Whether Luo Fu was a reincarnated Chaos God and Demon only affected Ancestor Hongjun's perception of Luo Fu and his future attitude toward Luo Fu.

It did not alter Ancestor Hongjun's current intentions.

The reason for this was Luo Fu's strength.

Before Luo Fu activated the Three Thousand Great Dao, in Ancestor Hongjun's eyes, Luo Fu was merely a prodigious genius, a Hunyuan Daoluo Jin Xian.

Even if Luo Fu had reached the Late Stage Hunyuan Daoluo Jin Xian, he posed no great threat to Ancestor Hongjun.

To Ancestor Hongjun, a Hunyuan Daoluo Jin Xian was no different from an ant.

Even if Ancestor Hongjun did not act, several Saints could easily deal with Luo Fu.

But after Luo Fu activated the Three Thousand Great Dao, it was different.

Originally, Luo Fu was merely a Hunyuan Daoluo Jin Xian; no matter how prodigious, in Ancestor Hongjun's eyes, he still belonged to the Hunyuan layer.

As long as he remained within the Hunyuan layer, he could not threaten the Primordial World or Ancestor Hongjun.

But after Luo Fu activated the Three Thousand Great Dao, it was different.

Although Luo Fu's current realm was only the Peak of Hunyuan Daoluo Jin Xian, by harnessing the Three Thousand Great Dao, he could now barely rival ordinary Heavenly Dao-level cultivators.

A Hunyuan Daoluo Jin Xian could not threaten the Primordial World or Ancestor Hongjun, but a Heavenly Dao-level cultivator could—and posed a grave threat.

Not just Luo Fu, any being in the Primordial World who broke through to the Heavenly Dao level would inevitably draw Ancestor Hongjun's suspicion and provoke his probing.

Whether the Ancestor Hongjun of the Journey to the West World or the Ancestor Hongjun of the Primordial World, both were the same.

The only difference was that the Ancestor Hongjun of the Journey to the West World could not tolerate even a Hunyuan Daoluo Jin Xian.

The Ancestor Hongjun of the Primordial World, however, hoped the Primordial World would produce more Hunyuan Daoluo Jin Xian.

A mere Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian poses no great threat to Ancestor Hongjun.

Therefore, Luo Fu and Ancestor Hongjun must inevitably clash.

The outcome of their confrontation has only two possibilities: one is that Ancestor Hongjun confirms he can still suppress Luo Fu, leaving behind methods to restrict Luo Fu.

The other is that Luo Fu masters a method Ancestor Hongjun cannot counter, forcing Ancestor Hongjun to yield and reluctantly acknowledge Luo Fu's existence.

There is no third possibility.

Ancestor Hongjun, merged with the Heavenly Dao, is invincible so long as he remains within the Primordial World.
