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

Chapter 152 The Universe Ruler, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl!

The Chan Sect did not keep Zhao Gongming waiting for long. About a day later, the Chan Sect's vice leader, Daoist Randeng, arrived at the place.

As the vice leader of the Chan Sect, Daoist Ran Deng was here to help, so Guang Chengzi and the other disciples of the Chan Sect naturally rose to greet him.

The disciples of the Chan Sect quickly recounted the events, after which Master Taiyi spoke with a solemn expression:

"Uncle-Master Ran Deng! That Zhao Gongming is a Quasi-Saint level expert; only you, Uncle-Master, can rival him!"

The Taoist Ran Deng smiled and said, "Although Zhao Gongming is a quasi-saint, he has only been a Daoist for a short time and is not a threat for now."

"I will go and meet him. Once I defeat Zhao Gongming, I will let the Jie Sect know the methods of my Chan Sect!"

The disciples of the Chan Sect were overjoyed. Although they were not particularly fond of their senior uncle, Daoist Ran Deng, they still had great faith in his abilities.

Thus, the disciples of the Chan Sect, together with Daoist Ran Deng, quickly and confidently arrived at the front lines of the two armies.

Zhao Gongming had been waiting for a long time, and when the Taoist Ran Deng arrived, he had already sensed it and was already waiting in front of the two armies.

"Zhao Gongming, you are ignorant of destiny. This time, we disciples of the Chan Sect are acting in accordance with the will of Heaven. Why are you blocking our way?" said Daoist Ran Deng in a deep voice.

"What Heavenly Way and Great Trend? Does your Chan Sect represent the Heavenly Way and Great Trend? Does my Jie Sect not uphold the orthodoxy of the human race?"

"Don't try to reason with me with these excuses. If you're so capable, then prove me right. I'm afraid you're just all talk and no action!" Zhao Gongming said with utter disdain.

Although Daoist Ran Deng was the vice leader of the Chan Sect and a quasi-saint level expert, he always kept a low profile and was not well-known in the prehistoric world.

Zhao Gongming had long disliked the attitude of the Chan Sect. Even when facing Daoist Ran Deng, he was not afraid at all and wished he could immediately determine who was superior.

"Since that's the case, I'll let you, you ignorant fool, know my methods!" said Daoist Ran Deng in a deep voice.

The Taoist Ran Deng stepped forward, a long, cyan ruler appearing in his hand, shimmering with a glassy light—clearly no ordinary treasure.

Jiang Heng remained calm, but his gaze was fixed on the cyan ruler in the hand of Daoist Ran Deng, which was the renowned Qiankun Ruler.

The Qiankun Ruler is an innate spiritual treasure of considerable power, containing the Qi of Qiankun, and possessing the profound ability to unify the Yin and Yang of the world.

However, even the owner of this magical artifact, Daoist Ran Deng, did not fully understand the true mysteries of the Qiankun Ruler.

Holding the Qiankun Ruler, Daoist Ran Deng stepped forward, unleashing his Quasi-Saint level aura without reservation, pressing down on Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming's expression hardened. The Daoist Ran Deng had attained enlightenment very early and was already the vice leader of the Chan Sect in ancient times, so his strength was naturally extraordinary.

Zhao Gongming dared not be careless and quickly gathered all his cultivation. He used the Dragon Binding Rope in his hand to attack the Burning Lamp Daoist first.

Undeterred, Daoist Ran Deng raised the Qiankun Ruler in his hand, and the power of this innate spiritual treasure instantly erupted.

The Qiankun Ruler splits the universe, giving rise to Yin and Yang energies. In the shadows, a hazy world emerges beneath the Qiankun Ruler.

In an instant, Zhao Gongming's Dragon-Binding Rope was repelled. Meanwhile, the Qiankun Ruler, carrying a vast world, pressed down on Zhao Gongming.

"As expected! The Qiankun Ruler has the power to create a world, but Daoist Ran Deng has not yet fully mastered it!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.

Zhao Gongming was greatly shocked. Although he had expected that Daoist Ran Deng was extraordinary, he never imagined that Daoist Ran Deng was so powerful.

In just one exchange, he was already at a disadvantage, not to mention the immense pressure from the approaching Qiankun Ruler.

Zhao Gongming dared not hold back any longer. With a wave of his hand, twenty-four precious pearls appeared and immediately radiated boundless divine light.

Under the illumination of the boundless divine light, Daoist Ran Deng not only felt an extremely vast aura, but all his divine senses and spiritual perceptions were also instantly blocked.

When one's spiritual senses are blocked, it's as if one has instantly become blind, completely unaware of the enemy's location or how the enemy will attack.

The Taoist Ran Deng was horrified, a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart, and he no longer cared about Zhao Gongming. He turned around and left without daring to linger for a moment.

"Where do you think you're going?" Zhao Gongming roared, not willing to give up so easily, and immediately chased after the Taoist Ran Deng.

Zhao Gongming and the Taoist Ran Deng chased and fled, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving only the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects staring at each other in disbelief.

"The twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls are truly a case of pearls being tarnished in Zhao Gongming's hands!" Jiang Heng shook his head and took a step forward.

The magic weapon Zhao Gongming just used was the innate spiritual treasure, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. The power of this magic weapon is far greater than that of the Heaven and Earth Ruler of the Burning Lamp Daoist.

Zhao Gongming's cultivation was not as good as that of Daoist Randeng. Zhao Gongming had not severed one of his corpses and was at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, while Daoist Randeng had already severed two corpses.

If Daoist Ran Deng were to sever one more corpse, he would reach the peak of Quasi-Sainthood and become a top Quasi-Saint, a top-tier powerhouse below Saints in the primordial world.

The previous encounter already revealed a lot; under normal circumstances, Zhao Gongming would never be a match for Randeng Daoren.

But Zhao Gongming had a priceless treasure! The moment those twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls appeared, they forced the Taoist Ran Deng to flee in a sorry state, demonstrating their power.

The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl consists of twenty-four pearls, strung together to unleash a five-colored divine light that can dazzle the enemy's senses and possess immense power, comparable to the strength of the four seas.

Just now, when the Daoist Ran Deng was illuminated by the divine light of the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, his divine sense and spiritual perception were immediately blocked, and that was the reason.

But in Jiang Heng's view, this was only a part of the power of the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, or even the most basic power.

With just a glance, Jiang Heng knew that these twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls actually contained a whole universe within them, twenty-four small worlds.

If Zhao Gongming could fully develop the power of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls and completely control the twenty-four small worlds within those twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls...

When Zhao Gongming uses the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl again, it will be as if he has the power of twenty-four small worlds supporting him.

The power of the twenty-four small worlds pressed down, and even a peak quasi-saint level expert would find it extremely difficult to cope.

At that time, Zhao Gongming, with his cultivation at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, could easily become a top powerhouse in the prehistoric world.

However, Zhao Gongming did not fully unleash the full power of the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, which is why Jiang Heng said that the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were in Zhao Gongming's hands and were like pearls covered in dust.

At this moment, while the Taoist Ran Deng was fleeing in a sorry state, a faint sense of apprehension arose in his heart. For the Taoist Ran Deng, it was a long-lost feeling of excitement.

"Why do I have a feeling that I am about to attain enlightenment? Could it be because of the magic weapon in Zhao Gongming's hand?"

"What kind of treasure is this? Its power is so immense that I have no ability to resist it at all!" Daoist Ran Deng thought to himself.

The moment Zhao Gongming took out the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, Daoist Ran Deng already sensed something, but he didn't yet understand what was going on.

The Taoist Ran Deng only vaguely felt that the magic weapon in Zhao Gongming's hand seemed to have a great relationship with whether he could achieve the Dao.

But at this moment, there was no time for Daoist Ran Deng to think about anything else. Zhao Gongming was chasing after him, showing no intention of letting him go.

In his panic, Daoist Ran Deng stumbled upon a mountain range and suddenly sensed the auras of two Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Upon closer inspection, Daoist Ran Deng discovered that the two Great Luo Golden Immortals were actually human beings, and were leisurely playing chess among the mountains.

As Daoist Ran Deng was a quasi-saint level expert, the two Great Luo Golden Immortals naturally sensed his presence as soon as he appeared and quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.

"I am Xiao Sheng, and this is Fellow Daoist Cao Bao! We have been cultivating in the Wuyi Mountains. We wonder what brings you here?" Xiao Sheng said.

"I am the Vice Leader of the Chan Sect, Daoist Randeng. This time, Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect is obstructing the great trend of Heaven, so I had no choice but to fight him."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Gongming possessed a supreme treasure of immense power, and I was unable to defeat him, which is why I fled here! "Randeng Daoist did not hide anything and said in a deep voice.

Before Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao could answer, a powerful aura appeared, and Zhao Gongming also arrived at this place.

Upon seeing Daoist Randeng, Zhao Gongming immediately activated the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, sending them to suppress Daoist Randeng.

The Taoist Ran Deng was shocked and was about to make a hasty escape again when Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao took a step forward and took out a magic weapon.

This magical artifact is a round copper coin with a square hole, and wings on both sides, with faint inscriptions of the Heavenly Dao on it.

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao activated the copper coin at the same time, and the coin struck the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls directly.

With a "clang," the boundless divine light on the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls not only extinguished instantly, but also fell down along with the copper coin.

"What kind of magic weapon is this?" Zhao Gongming was instantly shocked and stared at everything in front of him in disbelief.

How powerful are the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls? Even a quasi-saint like Daoist Ran Deng was forced to flee in disarray by Zhao Gongming.

Now, it was just an insignificant copper coin that caused the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls to instantly lose their power and fall to the ground.

Before Zhao Gongming could recover from his shock, Daoist Ran Deng saw that Zhao Gongming's twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls had lost their effect, and he certainly wouldn't let such an opportunity pass him by.

The Qiankun Ruler moved across the sky, manifesting the Yin and Yang energies. A hazy, vast world pressed down on Zhao Gongming, instantly blasting him away.

Zhao Gongming coughed up blood, his expression instantly turning ashen. But he forced himself to stay alert and turned to leave.

Zhao Gongming was already seriously injured at this time. If Daoist Ran Deng caught up with him, it would not be difficult for him to kill Zhao Gongming in one fell swoop.

But at this moment, instead of chasing after Zhao Gongming, Daoist Ran Deng stayed where he was, his gaze gradually focusing on the copper coin.

"This copper coin can render the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls ineffective, so it must be an extraordinary treasure. The Sea-Stabilizing Pearls themselves are also a supreme treasure."

If I could master these two magical treasures, not only would I achieve my Dao, but I might also leap into the ranks of the top powerhouses in the primordial world!

As the Taoist Ran Deng pondered, his gaze toward Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao became unusual.
