Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 126 The Shocking Battle of the Saints!

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, the battle between Jiang Heng and the Sage of Guidance had only just begun, yet it had already shocked countless powerful figures throughout the primordial world.

"Is the primordial world about to gain another saint-level powerhouse?"

Looking at the human emperor standing proudly opposite the Sage of Guidance, many powerful figures couldn't help but wonder.

"Senior Brother, could it be that humanity is truly about to give birth to a Saint?"

Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones were also watching the battle, and the holy thoughts of these four saints even converged and exchanged ideas with each other.

Seeing that Jiang Heng had actually fought to a draw with the Sage of Guidance, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, who had been looking very serious, couldn't help but ask this question.

It's no wonder that the Primordial Celestial Venerable would have such a question. At this time, it was during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods. If the human race had an additional sage, the impact would be immeasurable.

The Chan Sect of Yuanshi Tianzun was in the midst of the Investiture of the Gods calamity, so he couldn't help but consider the impact of the human race having an additional sage.

Not only Yuanshi Tianzun, but also Nuwa and Tongtian Jiaozhu focused their attention on Taiqing Shengren.

"The human race has not produced a single saint, and at least it is impossible for one to be born now!" said the Taiqing Saint, shaking his head.

"But the current Human Emperor's strength is clearly such that he has already stepped into the realm of a Saint!" said the Saint Nuwa with considerable doubt.

Given the cultivation levels of Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones, it's not difficult to discern the true nature of the battle between Jiang Heng and the Sage of Reception.

In the eyes of the sage Nuwa, although Jiang Heng has not yet truly entered the realm of a sage, in terms of combat power alone, he has already reached the level of a sage.

"Rather than saying that the current Human Emperor's strength has reached the Saint Realm, it is more accurate to say that it is the result of the condensation of the power of the entire human race that has enabled him to have such strength."

"Strong as they may be, they cannot sustain it, and their cultivation level is far inferior. Moreover, the Dao Ancestor once said that the quasi-saints of the human race would return to the Fire Cloud Cave!" said the Taiqing Sage calmly.

Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Nuwa all nodded, having already understood what Taiqing Shengren meant.

The words of the Sage Taiqing have already pointed out that the true strength of the current human emperor is far from reaching the level of a sage.

The reason he possesses the power of a saint is that the fortune of the human race and the power of the human race's ancestor are both concentrated in one person.

Therefore, the Sage Taiqing said that it was the condensation of the power of the entire human race that unleashed the incredible power of a sage.

However, the Sage Taiqing also made it very clear that although such power is strong, it is difficult to sustain.

On the surface, Jiang Heng's strength has reached the realm of a saint, but his own realm is far from sufficient.

Emperor Xin was, after all, only a Great Luo Golden Immortal. It was already incredible that he could wield the power of a saint, let alone maintain such a powerful force for a long time.

The reason why the Sage of Guidance is currently seriously injured and unable to exert his full strength is that suppressing Jiang Heng would be no difficult task for him.

The three sages, including Nuwa, understood that the current stalemate was the result of a combination of factors.

Normally, even if the power of the entire human race is gathered, it is barely enough to unleash the power of a saint, but it is still difficult to defeat a true saint.

As for the things that Yuanshi Tianzun was worried about, Taiqing Shengren was obviously very clear about them, and finally pointed out the limitations of the human race.

The Dao Ancestor once said that all quasi-saints of the human race must return to the Fire Cloud Cave, and unless the human race perishes, they cannot leave the Fire Cloud Cave even half a step.

This also means that even though the human race possesses the power of a saint, it cannot manifest in the primordial world.

In this way, the influence of the human race on the Investiture of the Gods calamity was within a controllable range, which naturally put Yuanshi Tianzun at ease.

It was only outside these thirty-three heavens that the human race was able to gather all its strength and fight the Sage of Guidance without restraint.

Not only Nuwa and other sages understood this, but the Sage Jieyin also realized it at this time.

Even if he understood perfectly well that the Sage had few options given Jiang Heng's initiative in challenging him, he still had little choice.

If today had been a different day, the Sage of Guidance would have had plenty of ways to suppress this current human emperor, but would Jiang Heng give him that opportunity?

If we cannot suppress this current human emperor before us today, the reputation of the Western Sect will likely plummet immediately.

"Humans are truly incredible beings, but unfortunately you are not a saint and will never know how terrifying a saint's abilities are!" the guiding saint said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, boundless golden light condensed, and a colossal Buddha appeared in the boundless void beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The Buddha was shrouded in a hazy aura, and the dazzling golden light was so intense that it was impossible to look directly at him. His boundless holy power instantly filled the void.

"Amitabha!"

An incomparably magnificent sound resounded through the void. This sound seemed to come from the beginning of creation, and was the sound of the Great Dao, containing endless mysteries.

"A sage's appearance! Truly, his holy power is boundless!" Jiang Heng exclaimed solemnly.

Before me is the holy image of the sage who guides us, and also the supreme Buddha of the Western Paradise, Amitabha Buddha, known as the ancestor of all Buddhas.

Once the holy form appears, without even lifting a finger, the pervasive holy might can instantly turn any non-holy being into ashes.

At this moment, Jiang Heng naturally also felt the terrifying, vast, and unbelievable holy might.

"Below the level of a sage, all are ants. Even if you take a half step into the realm of a sage, you are just a slightly stronger ant!"

Those who offend the sacred authority shall be executed!

A mighty sound resounded throughout the boundless void, and the holy image of Amitabha Buddha instantly radiated immeasurable Buddha light, shattering the vast chaos in an instant.

An incredible power was transmitted through the void. In that instant, Jiang Heng seemed to see countless Buddhas chanting scriptures.

It was as if I were seeing the Western Paradise, where countless beings lived carefree lives.

Jiang Heng seemed to see countless worlds evolving, flourishing and then vanishing in an instant.

The power of a sage is indeed terrifying! The birth and death of living beings, the cycle of the world, are merely trivial matters.

This alone surpasses the peak Quasi-Saint realm by an immeasurable amount. The difference in levels between the two is simply beyond comprehension.

Although Jiang Heng was shocked by the boundless holy might of the sage, he quickly broke free from that endless holy might and took a step forward.

"Even if a sage's power is boundless, so what? Our human race was born between heaven and earth, from the beginning of ignorance to the present prosperity!"

My human race has never yielded to any being, not in the past, not now, and never in the future.

"Our human race has lived between heaven and earth since the beginning of time, fearless, undaunted, and unyielding. Today, we will let you, a sage, experience firsthand the spirit of our human race."

As Jiang Heng roared, he unleashed a punch. In that instant, an indomitable spirit was infused into Jiang Heng's punch.

The third move of the Emperor's Fist, Unyielding, embodies the indomitable spirit of humanity, which is Jiang Heng's best interpretation of the power of humanity.

When this Emperor Fist was first created, it was the strongest among all Emperor Fists. Later, Xuanyuan further improved this move.

By virtue of his position as the Human Emperor, he comprehended the deepest mysteries of humanity, and thus gradually perfected this indomitable spirit.

As soon as this punch was unleashed, it transformed into a vast torrent of humanity, within which countless humans emerged, all looking up to the sky and roaring with indomitable fury.

At this moment, Jiang Heng had already gathered the power of humanity, and this Emperor Fist could perfectly bear the power of humanity.

Therefore, as soon as this punch was unleashed, Jiang Heng instantly sat upright amidst the vast torrent of humanity, transforming into an unparalleled Heavenly Emperor.

Even the immeasurable light of Buddha appears dim in the vast torrent of humanity, and its indomitable will makes even the sacred image pale in comparison.

At this moment, not only did the Sage of Guidance look surprised, but the other four Sages also stared at Jiang Heng in disbelief.

Since the six sages attained enlightenment, they have regarded all living beings as nothing more than ants in their eyes, as they are high and mighty saints.

The special nature of the human race is simply because they are the protagonists of heaven and earth, and most of the fortune in the primordial world is concentrated among them.

But even Nuwa, the saint who created humanity, probably never really looked at the human race with respect.

But at this moment, sensing the incredible indomitable will within the torrent of humanity, the saints realized that even ants could possess heaven-reaching power.

In the primordial world, there are countless living beings. The power of a single living being may be insignificant, and in the eyes of a sage, it is indeed like an ant.

Even the smallest ant has the right to roar to the sky and resist the injustice of fate. When this indomitable will comes together, it is enough to amaze the gods!

"Boom!"

The vast torrent of humanity flows ceaselessly through the boundless void, spreading towards the infinitely distant sea of ​​chaos, as if it will never stop.

The holy image of Amitabha Buddha, who guides the saints, has completely dissipated. No matter how powerful a deity is, it will ultimately pale in comparison to that indomitable will.

When the chaotic sea calmed down again, Jiang Heng remained proudly independent, while the Sage of Guidance sat upright on the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit.

Even if Jiang Heng were to gather the power of humanity and unleash the indomitable will of the human race, he would still be unable to harm the Sage in the slightest.

The idea of ​​slaying saints is utter nonsense. Saints have survived countless eons without perishing; this is not just a casual remark.

However, when facing Jiang Heng, the current human emperor, the Sage of Guidance surprisingly took out the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit.

At this moment, Jiang Heng was empty-handed. Not to mention innate spiritual treasures, he didn't even have a single magic weapon.

In comparison, the Sage of Reception was clearly at a disadvantage. That is why the Sage of Reception had such a gloomy expression at this moment.

Perhaps he had said too many harsh words, but none of them had come to fruition. At this moment, the Sage of Guidance remained silent and instead directly unleashed the Azure Lotus Banner.

At the same time, the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit also gathered boundless golden light, pressing down on Jiang Heng with its vast holy might.

Having produced two innate spiritual treasures in succession, both of which were his own natal treasures, it goes without saying how much the Sage wanted to kill Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng was fearless. If the Sage of Guidance had innate spiritual treasures, why shouldn't he? With a wave of his hand, the Hetu Luoshu instantly appeared.

Seeing that Jiang Heng and the Sage of Guidance had really gotten into a fight, this unprecedented battle not only showed no signs of ending, but was getting even more intense.

But at that moment, an unparalleled power descended beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, and in an instant, all power vanished into thin air.

"Greetings, teacher!"

Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones instantly manifested here, and the Guide Saint also retrieved the Azure Lotus Banner and the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit.

Apart from the Sage Zhunti, who was in seclusion recuperating from his injuries, the five other sages in the primordial world simultaneously knelt down.

Only Dao Ancestor Hongjun could command such respect from all the saints. Sure enough, in the next instant, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's figure appeared outside the Thirty-Three Heavens.

"The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods is about to begin. Before that, none of the saints should act rashly!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun said, glancing at the Sage of Reception.

"We will obey our master's orders!" The five saints knelt down at the same time, daring not to disobey the orders of Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the slightest.

"The human quasi-saints have returned to the Fire Cloud Cave and are forbidden from leaving it without due cause. Do not resort to such methods again!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun turned to Jiang Heng and gave him a meaningful look, as if he wanted to see through all of Jiang Heng's secrets.

Jiang Heng's gaze was calm. Under the watchful eyes of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he looked at Dao Ancestor Hongjun with great interest.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Jiang Heng had met the Master of All Saints, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, since arriving in the prehistoric world.

However, upon hearing the Dao Ancestor's words, Jiang Heng tactfully replied, "I will obey the Dao Ancestor's decree!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words imposed further restrictions on the power of the human race; previously, he had only prohibited quasi-saints from entering the primordial world.

Now, the meaning behind Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words is that the Quasi-Saints of the human race are not allowed to step out of the Fire Cloud Cave.

Moreover, things like today, where power is concentrated on Jiang Heng and then combined with the power of humanity, are no longer permitted.

This also means that from now on, unless the human race faces a crisis of extinction, they will no longer be able to use the power of a saint.

Daozu's actions, seemingly punishing both the Sage of Guidance and the human race equally, clearly reveal whose side he was favoring.

Even so, Jiang Heng could only endure it. Why? Because now was not the time for Jiang Heng to turn against Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Furthermore, the appearance of Dao Ancestor Hongjun was part of Jiang Heng's plan, so this outcome is not entirely unacceptable.

Even though he can no longer use the power of the Fire Cloud Cave, Jiang Heng is not without hope of reaching the Saint level by relying on his own strength.

This time, Jiang Heng's main purpose was to teach the Sage a lesson, to make an example of him and show all the Sages where the bottom line of humanity lies.

After that battle, all the powerful beings in the primordial world must now know just how powerful the human race truly is.

In the future, even if a sage wants to plot against the human race, he will have to think twice before doing so. If he really angers the human race, he will have to consider what crazy things the human race might do.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun glanced at the saints and Jiang Heng again, then his figure vanished from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, and the epic battle at the saint level came to an abrupt end.

Jiang Heng glanced at the Sage of Reception again, snorted coldly, and turned to leave. This time, he was only collecting some interest; the days ahead were long.

The Sage of Guidance stared at Jiang Heng's disappearing figure with a gloomy expression, his eyes darting around, and it was unclear what thoughts were running through his mind.
