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

Chapter 153 I don't like the look of you, so what if I take action?

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were unaware that the Burning Lamp Daoist's thoughts had subtly changed, and they were already walking towards the copper coin.

With a wave of his hand, the money fell into Cao Bao's hands, while the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls fell into Xiao Sheng's hands.

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were unaware that it was precisely because of their actions that the Daoist Ran Deng was determined to kill them.

Those twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were the key to the Daoist Burning Lamp's enlightenment, so how could he easily let them go?

That copper coin, capable of rendering the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls ineffective, must be an extraordinary treasure. How could Daoist Ran Deng not be envious?

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were still unaware of what was happening. Holding two treasures, they approached the Taoist Ran Deng. Just as they were about to say something, the Taoist Ran Deng made his move.

With his right hand, he wielded the Qiankun Ruler, aiming directly at Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, while with his left hand he reached for the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls and the copper coin.

Although Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were both Great Luo Golden Immortals, how could they be a match for Daoist Ran Deng? Moreover, Daoist Ran Deng's attack was sudden and no different from a sneak attack.

In an instant, the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls and the copper coin were in the hands of the Burning Lamp Taoist, and the Qiankun Ruler was about to fall on Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao's heads.

Just as it seemed certain that Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao would die and their cultivation would vanish, Daoist Ran Deng was horrified to discover that an extremely terrifying aura had appeared behind him.

The Taoist Ran Deng could no longer spare Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, and only then did he narrowly avoid that extremely terrifying aura.

Turning around, Daoist Ran Deng was instantly shocked. Standing behind him was none other than Jiang Heng, the current Human Emperor of the human race.

"You bastard, Xiao Sheng went to Cao Bao to kindly help repel Zhao Gongming, and you actually harbored evil intentions and wanted to kill these two people?" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

"Hmph! What does this have to do with the Human Emperor? The Human Emperor clearly stated beforehand that he was not participating in this battle!" Daoist Ran Deng said in a deep voice.

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were still in shock when they heard from Daoist Ran Deng that the person in front of them was actually the current Human Emperor. Only then did they hurry over to pay their respects.

"Xiao Sheng/Cao Bao pay their respects to the Human Emperor!" Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao said in unison.

"You should know the decree I issued some time ago, that no human race powerhouse is allowed to participate in the Investiture of the Gods!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao exchanged a glance, and Xiao Sheng said, "We dare not disobey the Emperor's order. We have been cultivating in seclusion in Wuyi Mountain."

We happened to stumble upon Zhao Gongming preparing to commit a crime. Unaware of the details, we couldn't bear to see him do anything and thus intervened!

"Ignorance is no excuse. You two meant well, so you can't be considered to have participated in the Investiture of the Gods. I'll let you off this time."

We are currently in the midst of the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods. If we are not careful, we will fall into the Great Tribulation and die instantly!

"Having learned your lesson, from now on, you two should cultivate quietly in the Wuyi Mountains and ignore all external affairs. This will ensure your safety!" Jiang Heng said.

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. We will certainly not dare to pay any more attention to anything!" Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao knelt down and said respectfully.

Putting aside Jiang Heng's identity, if it weren't for his help, they would probably be dead at the hands of Daoist Ran Deng by now.

Having barely escaped death, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were still shaken and would never dare to meddle in other people's business again.

Jiang Heng then turned to Daoist Ran Deng and said in a deep voice, "I did say that I would not participate in the battle between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect at this time. I will only stay to serve as a witness."

But you have attacked my human race without permission and even tried to kill my human race. As the human emperor, I cannot ignore this matter!

Besides, if I want to take action, why should I care about your opinions? Even if I just don't like you today, what's wrong with taking action against you?

Daoist Ran Deng stared at Jiang Heng with a gloomy expression. He was naturally quite wary of the strength of the Human Emperor before him.

During the battle between Jiang Heng and the Jade Emperor Haotian, Daoist Ran Deng was one of the onlookers and naturally knew how terrifying the strength of the Human Emperor before him was.

But looking at the two treasures in his hands, Daoist Ran Deng had no regrets whatsoever.

These two treasures were extremely important to him, and even though he had offended the current emperor, he did not regret his decision at all.

"Hahaha! Your Majesty's words are a bit excessive. When did I ever intend to kill those two humans? I only wanted to give them some benefits."

"Your Majesty must have misunderstood. Now that these two are safe and sound, I shall take my leave!" said Daoist Ran Deng with a smile.

Clearly, because he was wary of Jiang Heng's strength, Daoist Ran Deng did not want to clash with Jiang Heng and was preparing to leave the place for the time being.

"That's easy for you to say. Whether you saw it wrong or not, we both know the truth. Since you've made your move, you have to be prepared to pay the price!" Jiang Heng said.

Daoist Ran Deng was a quasi-saint level expert, but no one expected him to be so shameless, even denying that he had killed someone.

Such behavior is exactly the same as the style of the Western religion, no wonder that Daoist Ran Deng eventually betrayed the Chan religion and attained enlightenment in the Western religion.

"Hmph! I have already yielded because I respect you as the current Human Emperor of the human race. Don't go too far. After all, I am the Vice Leader of the Chan Sect!" said Daoist Ran Deng in a deep voice.

The Taoist Ran Deng didn't actually want to provoke the Human Emperor in front of him. He only brought up the title of the Vice Leader of the Chan Sect to make Jiang Heng wary.

As the vice leader of the Chan Sect, if Jiang Heng were to attack him, it would be tantamount to offending the entire Chan Sect. He believed that Jiang Heng would know the gravity of the situation.

"Hahaha! Vice Leader of the Chan Sect, don't think that just because you are the Vice Leader of the Chan Sect, you are the Leader of the Chan Sect. If you dare to kill my human race, you will still pay the price!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.

Back then, when the Sage of Guidance plotted against the human race, Jiang Heng acted ruthlessly without the slightest hesitation.

The Taoist Ran Deng thought he could intimidate him by using the title of the Vice Leader of the Chan Sect, but he was completely mistaken.

"Hmph! Human Emperor, you are far too arrogant. Others may fear you, but I am not!" said Daoist Ran Deng in a deep voice.

"What? Having two supreme treasures in hand has given you a lot more confidence? Judging from your appearance, you have already made a preliminary grasp of those two supreme treasures."

"You think you have the leverage to fight me now? Then you should try and see if you can be my match," Jiang Heng said with utter disdain.

The expression of the Taoist Ran Deng became solemn. He thought he had concealed himself, but he did not expect that his actions had been seen by the human emperor in front of him.

"Hmph! I have already gained a basic understanding of these two treasures. This Human Emperor probably doesn't know the power of these two treasures."

"With the power of these two treasures, I might have a chance to defeat this Human Emperor before me!" Daoist Ran Deng thought to himself.

Daoist Ran Deng knew that the Human Emperor before him was determined to fight him, and he had no other choice.

However, if he could defeat the Human Emperor before him, he would not only be able to take away the two supreme treasures by default, but he would also become famous throughout the prehistoric world.

In the past, if he were to fight Jiang Heng alone, he would have had absolutely no chance. But now, he is not without hope.

"Since the Human Emperor is so aggressive, then I have no choice but to see what the Human Emperor's methods are like!" said Daoist Ran Deng in a deep voice.

Jiang Heng knew perfectly well what Daoist Ran Deng was up to, but he was too lazy to waste words with him.

Without a sound, an extremely terrifying aura erupted from Jiang Heng. Jiang Heng threw a punch, carrying a terrifying aura as it suppressed the Burning Lamp Daoist.

Jiang Heng's punch was simple and straightforward. Apart from its terrifying power, it had nothing special about it. This showed that he didn't take the Burning Lamp Daoist seriously at all.

Daoist Ran Deng was furious. He raised the Qiankun Ruler in his hand and struck out with it. Instantly, the universe was separated, and the two energies of Yin and Yang emerged, and a great world slowly appeared.

The Qiankun Ruler is, after all, an innate spiritual treasure, and Daoist Ran Deng did not leave it behind. This attack was naturally powerful and its power was terrifying.

"Boom!"

But to the astonishment of the Taoist Ran Deng, when Jiang Heng's punch landed, all the Yin and Yang energies, all the Great World, shattered in an instant.

An incredibly powerful force emanated from the Qiankun Ruler, making it impossible for Daoist Ran Deng to hold onto this innate spiritual treasure.

"How is this possible? Such terrifying power, no wonder even the Jade Emperor Haotian is no match for this Human Emperor!" Daoist Ran Deng's expression changed instantly.

At this moment, there was no time for Daoist Ran Deng to think further. Jiang Heng's punch shattered the universe, broke through the Yin and Yang energies, and shattered the Great World, but it did not stop there.

A terrifying force struck, and under Jiang Heng's punch, everything in the world seemed to shatter. How could Daoist Ran Deng possibly withstand it?

With a determined effort, the Taoist Ran Deng summoned the copper coin, which appeared in his hand, and instantly hurled it at Jiang Heng.

However, to the astonishment of Daoist Ran Deng, after the copper coin flew out, it did not exude any great aura; it seemed to be just an ordinary copper coin.

Just as the Taoist Ran Deng was in shock, Jiang Heng did not continue to throw a punch at him. Instead, he changed his fist into a palm and grabbed the copper coin in his hand.

"It seems you've only scratched the surface of this Treasure-Dropping Coin, and haven't yet grasped its true mysteries. Otherwise, you wouldn't have used it directly!" Jiang Heng said.

"The Falling Treasure Coin?" Daoist Ran Deng stared in disbelief, completely baffled.

Daoist Ran Deng was naturally unaware that the Falling Treasure Coin was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, but there were great limitations to its use.

As its name suggests, the Falling Treasure Coin can fall upon any treasure below the supreme innate treasure, even those that are also top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

From this point of view alone, the Treasure-Dropping Coin truly deserves to be called a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. If used properly, it will have endless wonderful uses.

However, besides being able to drop treasures, the only other function of the Treasure-Dropping Coin is its ability to calculate the mysteries of the heavens; it has no other effects.

The Taoist Ran Deng had only a basic grasp of this magic weapon and naturally did not know its specific effects, yet he dared to use it against Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng was empty-handed at this moment, so even if the Falling Treasure Coin was incredibly powerful, it naturally wouldn't have any effect on him.

Daoist Ran Deng had no idea that, due to his ignorance, he had personally delivered a top-grade innate spiritual treasure to Jiang Heng.

It can be said that with the Fallen Treasure Coin in hand, all the magic treasures in the hands of the Burning Lamp Taoist would be rendered useless. How could Jiang Hengdou possibly win then?
