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

Chapter 145 The Jade Emperor? Like a dead dog!

Boundless golden light also emanated from Jiang Heng's body, turning it into a dazzling gold—this was the purest power of merit.

The next moment, to the near-dumbfounded gazes of the Jade Emperor Haotian and the other spectators, the Golden Body of Merit also appeared on Jiang Heng's body.

From the moment Jiang Heng began his battle with the Jade Emperor Haotian until now, it has truly given those powerful spectators a tremendous shock.

The fact that the current Human Emperor, with only the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, could display a physical body comparable to a peak Quasi-Saint is already incredible.

Not only did the Jade Emperor Haotian display the strength of a peak Quasi-Saint, but he also brought out something as important as the Golden Body of Merit.

Everyone thought the battle would end there, but no one expected that the Human Emperor would reveal his Golden Body of Merit in the next moment.

Many powerful spectators were puzzled. In the primordial world, when did the power of merit become so worthless?

It's one thing for the Jade Emperor Haotian to use the power of merit to condense a golden body of merit, after all, he is the ruler of the Heavenly Court, it's normal for him to have so much merit that he doesn't know what to do with it.

Furthermore, with the Jade Emperor Haotian's cultivation at the peak of Quasi-Saint level, even if he possessed a great deal of merit power, it wouldn't be of much use. It would be better to use it to condense a Golden Body of Merit.

But what's going on with this human emperor? How could he possess such terrifying merit, and instead of using it to improve his cultivation, he's using it to condense a golden body of merit?

"Impossible! You are merely the current Human Emperor, and you've only been Emperor for a little over a hundred years. How could you have accumulated so much merit?"

The Jade Emperor Haotian stared intently at the golden body of merit that had been formed on Jiang Heng's body, roaring angrily with disbelief in his eyes.

After the Human Emperor displayed his terrifying physical power in front of everyone, the Jade Emperor Haotian already knew that he no longer had the chance to kill Jiang Heng.

But the Jade Emperor Haotian could not be defeated. As the ruler of the Heavenly Court, he could not be defeated by any being, especially not by the human emperor before him.

This involves not only the face of the Jade Emperor and the majesty of the Heavenly Court, but also has a deeper meaning.

Heaven is above man, and the Way of Heaven is above the Way of Man. This is a principle that the Jade Emperor Haotian gradually came to understand from the Way of Heaven after becoming the ruler of the Heavenly Court.

Otherwise, why would the Jade Emperor Haotian go to such lengths to plot against the human race time and time again? This is his mission as the ruler of the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, seeing the situation was unfavorable, the Jade Emperor Haotian recklessly brought out his Golden Body of Merit. He couldn't afford to lose to the Human Emperor, no matter what.

But the Jade Emperor Haotian could never have imagined that the human emperor before him not only had such a terrifying physical body, but had also condensed a golden body of merit.

But how is that possible? He can condense a golden body of merit because he is the ruler of the Heavenly Court and doesn't need to worry about gaining merit.

How could a human emperor, a human who had only been emperor for a hundred years, obtain such a huge amount of merit?

"I certainly don't have that much merit, but the merit that my human race has accumulated since its birth is beyond your imagination."

It is thanks to the pioneering efforts of our human ancestors that our human race has gradually become the protagonist of the world and achieved the glorious situation we have today.

If you had just stayed true to your role as the ruler of Heaven, I wouldn't have bothered with you. But you shouldn't have done this time and time again, scheming against my human race.

"No matter what kind of being it is, if it plots against my human race, it will inevitably pay a heavy price!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

"I don't believe it. Even if the human race is the main force in the world today, you couldn't possibly possess such a vast amount of merit."

"This is fake! This is absolutely fake! It's all an illusion; you must have used some kind of trick!" Jade Emperor Haotian roared.

The Jade Emperor Haotian simply couldn't believe what he was seeing. No matter what, he couldn't accept that the human emperor before him, like himself, also possessed a golden body of merit.

"Fake? Whether it's fake or not, you'll know once you try! Don't use your ignorance to speculate about things you can't understand."

However, in order to help you understand why you lost, I will tell you why I possess such immense merit and am able to condense a golden body of merit.

Did you know that in ancient times, it was Suirenshi who drilled wood to make fire, igniting the flame of hope for our human race?

Did you know that in ancient times, it was Youchao who built houses, giving our human race a place to shelter from the wind and rain?

Did you know that in ancient times, it was Cangwen who created writing, marking the beginning of civilization for our human race?

Do you know that it was the Three Sovereigns who ruled the world, allowing our human race to spread across the vast land? Do you know that it was the Five Emperors who established moral principles, giving our human race a sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame?

"So, how much merit has Heaven bestowed upon us? It's nothing more than condensing a golden body of merit. What does that amount to?" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

Every word Jiang Heng uttered represented the hardships that humanity had endured since its birth, step by step, to become the ruler of heaven and earth.

Now, the creatures of the primordial world only see the glory of the human race, but they have never seen the calamities that the human race experienced in ancient times.

At the dawn of humanity, how many of the weak human race perished at the hands of ferocious beasts? And how did humanity manage to survive so tenaciously on the primordial land?

How many primordial beings know that when faced with the threat of the demon race, the human race almost faced annihilation?

It is through the tireless efforts of the ancestors of the human race, the bloody battles fought by the forefathers of the human race, and the painstaking planning of Jiang Heng, that the human race has achieved what it is today.

It is merely a golden statue of merit, far from representing the various hardships that humanity has experienced since its birth.

At the same time, Jiang Heng would take a step forward with each sentence he spoke, and his aura would rise accordingly.

After he finished speaking, Jiang Heng was already standing in front of the Jade Emperor Haotian, and his aura had reached an unimaginable level.

At this moment, Jiang Heng seemed like the supreme Heavenly Emperor, looking down upon the Jade Emperor Haotian with a gaze that looked down upon all living beings.

With unparalleled momentum, Jiang Heng unleashed a punch, aimed at the Jade Emperor Haotian, who was determined to shatter everything.

"Boom!"

The next moment, a tremendous roar resounded outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, and the Jade Emperor Haotian's towering body collapsed with a crash.

With the Golden Body of Merit countering the Golden Body of Merit, the Golden Body of Merit of the Jade Emperor Haotian naturally became utterly useless.

Moreover, although the Jade Emperor Haotian's golden body of merit accumulated over countless years is quite powerful, it is nothing compared to Jiang Heng's golden body of merit.

If we had to quantify it, Jiang Heng's Golden Body of Merit is several times stronger than that of the Jade Emperor Haotian.

"Kill me! Kill me if you dare!" Jade Emperor Haotian roared furiously as he lay on the ground.

At this moment, Jiang Heng's powerful physical strength suppressed the Jade Emperor Haotian, rendering him completely unable to move.

The scene at this moment was as if Jiang Heng had stepped on the Jade Emperor Haotian, and the Jade Emperor Haotian was unable to resist in the slightest.

Such a scene was naturally extremely humiliating for the Jade Emperor Haotian. If he could, he would even prefer to die right now.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor Haotian was nothing more than a loser trampled under Jiang Heng's feet, not even as good as a dead dog.

This scene has been witnessed by countless powerful beings in the primordial world. From now on, who will still take the Jade Emperor Haotian seriously?

What imperial ambitions? What do you mean by becoming the ruler of the primordial world? What lofty aspirations? All of it has vanished.

Jiang Heng would naturally not kill the Jade Emperor Haotian. With Dao Ancestor Hongjun present, Jiang Heng would not have the opportunity to kill the Jade Emperor Haotian.

However, the punishment Jiang Heng inflicted on the Jade Emperor Haotian was enough to bring him to the dust, a punishment he would never forget for all eternity.

Jiang Heng kept his word. This was the punishment for the Jade Emperor Haotian's repeated schemes against the human race, and only in this way could the dignity of the human race be maintained.

Even if the Jade Emperor Haotian truly becomes the rightful ruler of the Heavenly Court in the future, the powerful beings in the primordial world will remember today's scene.

What face does the Jade Emperor Haotian have left to rule the primordial world? What face does he have left to be the ruler of his Heavenly Court?

Want to die? Living in such humiliation is the greatest punishment for the Jade Emperor Haotian; it is truly worse than death.

"Get lost! If it weren't for the sake of the Dao Ancestor, you would already be a dead man!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.

This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Jade Emperor Haotian. Even if he managed to save his life in the end, it was only because of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

In other words, without Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Jade Emperor Haotian would probably be nothing in the eyes of the Human Emperor before him.

The hatred and anger in the heart of the Jade Emperor Haotian were enough to destroy the world, but he was still unable to move an inch in the face of Jiang Heng's power.

With a raised hand, he threw a punch, striking the Jade Emperor Haotian squarely in the body. Then, the Jade Emperor Haotian fell into the Heavenly Court like a shooting star.

Although the Jade Emperor Haotian was not seriously injured despite having the Golden Body of Merit protecting him, he still spat out a mouthful of blood the moment he landed.

His eyes were filled with fear and humiliation, and with endless resentment. In the end, the Jade Emperor Haotian rolled his eyes and lost all consciousness.

Jiang Heng stood proudly outside the Thirty-Third Heaven, looking around. None of the powerful figures in the primordial world dared to meet his gaze.

The battle with the Jade Emperor Haotian has completely established Jiang Heng's invincible prestige. From this day forward, Jiang Heng is the top powerhouse in the primordial world, second only to the sages.

"Since everyone is here, I'd like to reiterate once again that matters concerning the human race belong to the human race, and no other being may interfere."

"If you disregard the rules of our human race, you have all seen what happened to the Jade Emperor Haotian. If you have the guts, feel free to try!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

Jiang Heng spoke these words very softly. But to the powerful figures of the primordial world, they sounded like a mighty voice that shook the entire world.

Combined with the supreme power that Jiang Heng had just gathered by defeating the Jade Emperor Haotian, at this moment, no powerful figure dared to ignore Jiang Heng's words.

Afterwards, Jiang Heng ignored what the powerful spectators thought and took a step forward, returning to the primordial world.

This time, the defeat of the Jade Emperor Haotian was somewhat unexpected, as neither Dao Ancestor Hongjun nor the other saints appeared.

Logically speaking, the Jade Emperor Haotian is a key figure in the future prosperity of the Heavenly Court, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun should not have ignored him.

But this time, the Jade Emperor Haotian suffered such a miserable fate at the hands of Jiang Heng, yet Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao seemed to be completely oblivious to it.

However, upon closer examination, it's not entirely impossible for the Jade Emperor Haotian to appear in such a disheveled state.

For example, in the later Journey to the West tribulation, when the monkey wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor Haotian was no better off than he was this time.

But during the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor Haotian was still the ruler of Heaven; he only lost some face. What does face matter if you're shameless enough?

Jiang Heng understood that a powerful figure like the Jade Emperor Haotian would not be defeated so easily, and would definitely not give up so easily.

It is foreseeable that the Jade Emperor Haotian will become even more ruthless in the future, and will try every means to scheme against the human race again.

But what did Jiang Heng have to fear? To the human race, the Jade Emperor Haotian was nothing but a clown; what tricks could he possibly pull?

From beginning to end, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun behind the Jade Emperor Haotian, and the supreme Heavenly Dao, are the mountains that the human race must overcome.

After Jiang Heng left, the powerful figures who had come to watch the battle slowly came to their senses and returned to the Primordial World with solemn expressions.

For some independent cultivators, the human race is already an existence that cannot be provoked, and these people have more or less sensed the aura of the coming calamity.

Therefore, after this battle, most of the rogue cultivators in the prehistoric world began to cultivate in seclusion, no longer daring to easily step out of their caves.

However, for the disciples of the Chan and Chan sects, the Investiture of the Gods calamity is an unavoidable obstacle. Or rather, they are already in the midst of this calamity.

After Jiang Heng revealed his terrifying strength, the human race became a vital force for the Chan and Chan sects.

This is different from the battle between Jiang Heng and the Sage of Guidance, because that was not Jiang Heng's own power, but the condensation of the power of the entire human race.

In his battle against the Jade Emperor Haotian, Jiang Heng revealed his true power, a power that was enough to influence the course of the Investiture of the Gods.

In addition, given Jiang Heng's status as the Human Emperor, both the Chan and the other sects must consider his attitude before doing anything.

Leaving aside how the Chan and Chan sects will deal with the Investiture of the Gods calamity, Jiang Heng has already returned to Chaoge City.

"The Human Emperor's move this time defeated the Jade Emperor Haotian in one fell swoop, which can be considered as completely thwarting the Heavenly Court's attempt to plot against our human race!"

Without the support of the Heavenly Court, the land of Xiqi is nothing but a bunch of worthless scoundrels, not worth worrying about at all!

"I urge Your Majesty to issue an order for the army to conquer Xiqi. Within a day or two, we will surely be able to bring down Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo!" Jiang Ziya said loudly.

Jiang Ziya and Yang Jian witnessed the entire battle between Jiang Heng and the Jade Emperor Haotian, and their faces still showed traces of admiration and excitement.

The admiration stemmed from Jiang Heng's strength; he was able to defeat the Jade Emperor Haotian in one fell swoop, establishing the supreme prestige of the human race in a single battle.

The excitement stemmed from the fact that even the Jade Emperor Haotian had been defeated, so the Heavenly Court was no longer a threat, and the Marquis of Xibo, Ji Chang, had become insignificant.

Jiang Ziya believed that as long as the Emperor gave the order, the surrounding lords would be able to raze Xiqi to the ground in an instant.

At that time, the human race will naturally become a united front again, and even if the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods descends, the human race will be able to face it calmly.

"The matter of Xiqi is not so simple. It's unlikely that we can completely destroy Xiqi in the short term!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

Sorry, I had some things to take care of the past two days. Starting today, I will resume 10,000-word updates, and the updates will be released all at once in the early morning!
