Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

Do people taste good?

A simple sentence, but it struck Mu Jiao like a thunderbolt, causing his expression to change drastically.

"How did you find out?"

Subconsciously, Mu Jiao asked Jiang Yuan.

He wasn't nervous, but rather found it unbelievable. He had kept his cannibalism extremely secret; even the Xuanshan clan, who were in frequent contact with him, hadn't discovered it.

How could Jiang Yuan, who had just emerged from seclusion, have known this matter after only walking with him for a short while?

"You admit you ate people?"

Jiang Yuan didn't actually know if Mu Jiao had eaten people; he only suspected he might, so he tested him. Unexpectedly, Mu Jiao didn't even try to deny it and immediately admitted it.

Very well, so you dare to eat people, huh? At this moment, Jiang Yuan has another reason to kill Mu Jiao.

There are many man-eating creatures in this world, and Jiang Yuan can't possibly kill them all, but he can kill them one by one, and that's enough.

"Yes, I ate people, and quite a lot of them. I must say, you humans are delicious, and eating them can even enhance your cultivation."

"I don't know if you've noticed, but my cultivation level has increased from the sixth level of the Celestial Immortal realm to the seventh level. This is the benefit that eating people brings me, saving me thousands of years of arduous cultivation."

Faced with Jiang Yuan's questioning, Mu Jiao was not ashamed, but proud, and even provocatively boasted to him about the benefits that cannibalism brought him.

"You're not even bothering to pretend anymore, are you sure you can take me for granted?"

Jiang Yuan was not as angry as Mu Jiao had imagined; instead, he spoke to him calmly.

Angry? Of course he was angry, but there was no point in arguing with a dead man. At this moment, Mu Jiao was, in his eyes, nothing more than a dead man.

"Are you very confident?"

"Do you think that after cultivating to become a celestial being, you can rival me?"

Mu Jiao almost laughed. He thought Jiang Yuan was really getting cocky, thinking that after becoming a Celestial Immortal, he could talk to him on equal terms. How could that be possible?

The Celestial Immortal realm has twelve levels, each level representing a different realm. Even though Jiang Yuan possesses extraordinary talent and reaches the third level of cultivation upon entering the Celestial Immortal realm, he is still four levels below Jiang Yuan, who is at the seventh level.

The difference is four levels, and unless Jiang Yuan is a primordial god or demon, there is absolutely no way he could defeat someone who is a primordial true spirit.

Is Jiang Yuan a primordial god or demon?

Thinking of this, Mu Jiao couldn't help but laugh. He must be so happy that he could even come up with such an absurd idea.

"I must say, I admire your courage. Knowing that I intend to harm you, you still dared to leave the human race with me. That's truly..."

Mu Jiao originally wanted to praise Jiang Yuan, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn't utter a single word of praise, only realizing that he was overestimating himself.

Knowing full well that he was going to harm him, he still dared to leave with him. What else could this be but arrogance and hubris? Surely, someone at the third level of the Celestial Immortal realm couldn't possibly have the strength to contend with someone at the seventh level?

"I was originally planning to keep you alive a little longer until we got to the Dragon Palace before I made my move against you, but since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish."

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Mu Jiao stopped mocking Jiang Yuan and instead attacked him directly, intending to capture and kill him.

"go!"

With a thought, Mu Jiao sent a dazzling dragon pearl into the air, casting countless rays of light that swept towards Jiang Yuan.

"Sigh, you don't even have a decent treasure. It seems I overestimated your status among the dragons."

Looking up at the Dragon Pearl, Jiang Yuan sighed in disappointment. The Dragon Pearl, though good, being formed from Mu Jiao's cultivation, wasn't a particularly powerful magic weapon.

He originally thought that someone like Mu Jiao, a naturally exceptional being, should be a key target for the Dragon Clan's cultivation, possessing a naturally innate spiritual treasure protecting him.

But now it seems he was overthinking things. Mu Jiao's talent was certainly not bad, but he was clearly not valued by the Dragon Clan and was not given any precious treasures.

How could Jiang Yuan, who was preparing to make a fortune, not be disappointed?

"receive!"

While reflecting on the situation, Jiang Yuan also took action.

He knew the principle that even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, so he used all his strength as soon as he made his move, and even used a special supernatural power that was specifically designed to counter dragons.

All dragons under heaven originate from the Ancestral Dragon, therefore the Ancestral Dragon can subdue all dragon races. Jiang Yuan's supernatural power to subdue dragons is the Ancestral Dragon's Dharma Form.

Ang~~

Accompanied by a majestic dragon roar, the colossal form of the Ancestral Dragon manifested behind Jiang Yuan, radiating boundless majesty.

In an instant, the smile on Mu Jiao's face vanished, replaced by fear and disbelief.

He couldn't understand or accept how Jiang Yuan, a member of the Dragon Clan, could condense the Ancestral Dragon Dharma Image, a feat that even few members of the Dragon Clan could achieve.

"Do you want to continue? Mu Jiao, just surrender."

With the appearance of the Ancestral Dragon's Dharma Form, the battle could essentially be declared over. Mu Jiao wasn't even a true dragon; how could he possibly withstand the divine might of the Ancestral Dragon?

Under the majesty of the First Emperor, he couldn't even move, let alone resist. He could only revert to his original form and tremble in fear.

"Father, save me!"

Mu Jiao was quite pragmatic. Seeing that he couldn't defeat Jiang Yuan, he directly asked his father, Mu Longbo, for help.

"Stubborn to the end!"

Jiang Yuan reached out and grabbed at Mu Jiao. As he moved, the Ancestral Dragon Dharma Image behind him also pressed down on Mu Jiao.

As they watched, under the pressure of the Ancestral Dragon's Dharma Image, Mu Jiao's body grew smaller and smaller until it became as thin as a chopstick and about a foot long, which Jiang Yuan easily held in his hand.

"You're too weak!"

Looking at Mu Jiao in his hand, Jiang Yuan felt utterly bored. He didn't know if it was because he was too strong or because Mu Jiao was too weak, but the fierce battle he had imagined never happened. Mu Jiao was no match for him and was instantly defeated.

This left Jiang Yuan feeling helpless. He had wanted to test his strength through Mu Jiao, but this was the result.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan vaguely understood why Mu Jiao hadn't received the attention of the Dragon Clan. If this was the level of the Dragon Clan's prodigies, then the Dragon Clan was truly doomed, and what future could they possibly have?

"My son!"

Suddenly, an urgent shout rang out; it was Mu Jiao's father, Mu Longbo, who had arrived. He was a dignified middle-aged man, wearing a golden crown and a black robe.

"you……"

Seeing Mu Jiao being held in Jiang Yuan's hands, Mu Longbo was worried about his safety but dared not step forward to save him, because he sensed danger from Jiang Yuan.

This immediately made him realize that the person in front of him must be possessing a great treasure and was no ordinary person.

"My name is Di Yuan, and I am a disciple of the goddess Nuwa. You, my son, wish to seize my bloodline to aid your own transformation into a primordial god-demon."

Knowing what Mu Longbo wanted to ask, Jiang Yuan revealed his identity before Mu Longbo could speak.

With Mu Jiao captured, he no longer needed to conceal his identity. Now, he could loudly proclaim to the world that he was the disciple of the Goddess Nuwa, the Human Emperor Yuan.

In an instant, both Mu Jiao and Mu Longbo's expressions changed.

The former was unbelievable, even more exaggerated than seeing Jiang Yuan condense the Ancestral Dragon Dharma Image. The latter was shocking; no one expected their son to be so troublesome, directly creating a huge hole in the sky.

He wasn't sent to save people; he was sent to his death.
