Chapter 25 The Birth of the Primordial Races, the Heavenly Emperor's Challenge

"Has He Lang not finished his seclusion yet?"

Not long after He Lang went into seclusion in the Pure Land of Heaven, the laws of heaven and earth constantly manifested in his courtyard. The laws were like an ocean, transforming this place into a place close to the Dao.

His cultivation progressed rapidly near the courtyard where he was in seclusion. The laws and the Great Dao were incredibly clear to him, and his primordial spirit could easily grasp them, allowing the cultivation of everyone in the Heavenly Court to advance at a breakneck pace.

However, in recent years, no one has dared to cultivate in the Heavenly Pure Land. Most people have moved out of this Pure Land because the cultivation environment in the Heavenly Pure Land is too close to the Dao. All the Daos descend here, boundless and limitless, causing many people to almost perish during their cultivation.

After some deductions, the powerful figures of the Heavenly Court sent away the ordinary cultivators, keeping them far away from this pure land. Only the Holy Prince, Pang Bo, Ji Ziyue, the Black Emperor, Duan De, Qi Luo, and others would occasionally come here to cultivate for a period of time.

"No, his aura is getting stronger and stronger. Even with his Dao-proving artifact suppressing it, that aura is becoming more and more unbearable. I don't know how this guy cultivates. Others find cultivation more and more difficult as they progress, but he seems to become more and more terrifying as he progresses."

In the Pure Land of Heaven, Pang Bo and the Holy Prince, their clothes stained with blood, gazed at He Lang's secluded courtyard and conversed in hushed tones.

Both men looked exhausted, their eyes still brimming with killing intent and fighting spirit, clearly indicating they had just been in a fierce battle.

"At first, we thought he would be able to come out of seclusion soon after sorting out his gains, but we never expected that he would be in seclusion for more than ten years."

More than a decade has passed. Everything has changed. Ye Zi rode the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin and traveled far into the starry sky. I wonder if he has returned to his homeland. Recently, the ancient races have also emerged, each one arrogant and self-important. That worthless Heavenly Emperor's Son, who calls himself the Son of God, has also come looking for him.

Pang Bo spoke of the Heavenly Emperor's son with a burning hatred, but he also had to admit that the bloodline of this immortal Heavenly Emperor was truly powerful. Even though he had cultivated the Ancient Scripture of the Demon Emperor and possessed the bloodline of the Demon God, he was still at a disadvantage in a battle against him.

"Brother Holy Emperor, didn't your father leave you any protectors? Look at the other ancient emperors' children who have been born, they all have protectors following them. They are all the biological children of ancient emperors, so why are you still being hunted down!"

Pang Bo looked at the Holy Prince beside him and began to complain.

“I don’t need any of that. My father left me this vast universe to roam freely, to reach the heavens above and the netherworld below. That’s enough.”

A fighting spirit emerged in the Holy Prince's eyes, and his invincible aura shook the surroundings. In his hand, the Immortal Iron Cudgel resonated with him, radiating strands of supreme imperial might.

Pang Bo's gaze fell on the Immortal Iron Rod, feeling that the Fighting Saint Emperor had indeed left the Saint Prince with the ability to strike the heavens above and the netherworld below.

"Your Majesty, you possess such great spirit."

What else can I say? As long as you're happy!
They had just escaped from the combined attack of the descendants of the Eight Legions left behind by the Immortal Emperor, and had just finished healing their wounds.

"Enough said, let's go. There are also powerful figures among the ancient clans who are proficient in the secrets of heaven. If we stay here too long, they may deduce some of the secrets of heaven and expose the location of this small world. It would be bad if they attacked us here."

The Holy Prince opened the portal to the small world and prepared to leave.

"Pang Bo, Holy Emperor, who dares to attack the Pure Land of Heaven? Are they tired of living?"

He Lang's voice echoed in the small world. The vast myriad paths began to disappear, and the laws of heaven and earth slowly vanished, no longer visible, revealing a small courtyard.

At this moment, the gate to the courtyard was opened, and He Lang, dressed in white, walked out of the courtyard.

Pang Bo and the Holy Prince were not surprised to see He Lang emerge from seclusion; instead, they were momentarily stunned, as if they had witnessed something incredible.

"Your Majesty!" "Father!"

He Lang paused upon hearing Pang Bo and the Holy Prince's titles, and his gaze toward the two men turned to one of astonishment.

My good buddy is suddenly calling me something weird, what's going on?
Fortunately, He Lang quickly realized what was happening and used his divine magic to project a mirror into the void. He saw that his reflection in the mirror was shrouded in a cloud of Dao energy, blurry and constantly changing, and he immediately understood the reason.

This Dao energy was a manifestation of his Great Dao. If it weren't for the strange way Pang Bo and the Holy Prince addressed him, he wouldn't have noticed anything unusual about himself.

He used his Heavenly Power to suppress the external Daoist energy covering his body, and his flawless handsome face immediately appeared on the screen.

After the Dao energy on his body dissipated, the Holy Prince and Pang Bo also realized what had happened, and their eyes showed surprise.

The person I just saw was He Lang?
Both Pang Bo and the Holy Prince felt somewhat embarrassed when they thought about how they had addressed each other.

"Uh, my cultivation level has improved a bit too quickly, and some of my original essence has leaked out."

He Lang explained, which made Pang Bo and the Holy Prince realize the truth and were secretly surprised, especially the Holy Prince, who was the son of the Fighting Holy Emperor and understood even more than Pang Bo how amazing that scene was.

The Holy Prince was certain that the Daoist aura of his father, the Fighting Holy Emperor, had been reflected in He Lang's body just now, and the aura he sensed was not wrong.

As He Lang spoke, he led Pang Bo and the Holy Prince into the courtyard and inquired about his previous doubts.

"Not long after you went into seclusion, that scoundrel Wang Teng visited the Ji family and proposed to marry Xiao Yue Liang. Ye Zi immediately went to their door to confront them..."

After that, the myriad races of the Primordial Era emerged. Creatures from the Primordial Era were dormant in the various forbidden areas of the Big Dipper. There were also many ancient emperors’ children like the Holy Emperor. Children of ancient emperors emerged from places such as Blood Phoenix Ridge, Fire Scale Cave, Primordial Lake, and Divine Valley, traveling through the Five Regions and challenging various geniuses.

You know that egg Ye Fan cut out in the Yaochi Holy Land? It's the bloodline of the Undying Emperor. Now it's been born, and somehow it found out you refined the Undying Emperor's divine skin into a forbidden artifact. It's been chasing us like a mad dog, and it even said it wants to challenge you!

Pang Bo told He Lang what had happened after he went into seclusion, emphasizing that all the major ancient royal families had ancestral kings in charge, making them extremely powerful, and warned He Lang not to be careless.

He knew that He Lang would definitely take action after learning about the situation, but the situation had changed again. When He Lang broke through to the Dao-Slaying King realm, Pang Bo thought they could be complacent. However, a few years later, the Primordial Myriad Races emerged, and now the cultivation of Dao-Slaying Kings was simply not enough to dominate the world.

After Pang Bo finished speaking, He Lang understood the current situation. He Lang was not surprised by the emergence of the ancient races. Now the essence of heaven and earth has recovered to the point that it can accommodate the emergence of sages. The Great Dao is no longer lofty and has become suitable for cultivation.

With the opening of the path to immortality predicted by the ancient emperors approaching, the myriad ancient races will surely emerge.

"Interesting! He's challenging me? I bet he'd love to take my head."

"That's not bad. I didn't pay attention to the Undying Emperor, this supreme ancient god, before. Now that the ancient races have emerged, I've discovered that there are quite a few ancient races among them that worship the Undying Emperor immensely."

Initially, the ancient races wanted to massacre the human race for tens of millions of miles, but after Senior Gai Jiuyou came to their door and wiped out their royal family, the ancient races became much more obedient.

However, they also spread the word that you had blasphemed the gods and demanded that the human race hand you over, adding that Wang Teng, this treacherous man, was also colluding with the ancient race.
