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

Chapter 161 Breaking the Stalemate! The Sage is About to Make His Move! (Long Chapter of 10,000 Words)

The sword strike unleashed by the Styx Lord using the two innate spiritual treasures, Abi Yuantu, was imbued with the innate killing power, its destructive force terrifying beyond measure.

Faced with this fierce sword strike, Jiang Heng's face showed a disdainful expression. He had seen this move many times before.

He didn't use any fancy techniques; he simply threw a punch that instantly sealed off the surrounding space, preventing the Abi Yuantu swords from getting even a fraction of a second closer to him.

"Hmph! You think you can stop me like this? You're being far too naive!" the Styx Master said in a deep voice.

With a flick of his finger, the two swords of Abi Yuantu trembled slightly, instantly unleashing terrifying killing intent, and actually broke through the space that Jiang Heng had imprisoned.

The two swords, Abi Yuantu and Du, vanished instantly into the vast void, leaving no trace and making them difficult to detect. However, the terrifying killing intent lingered around Jiang Heng.

The innate killing method is unpredictable, always able to find the enemy's weakness and deliver a fatal blow from an unbelievable angle.

"Not bad, but this is what makes it interesting!" Jiang Heng said.

Compared to hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Styx Lord's innate killing path has indeed advanced further, and it can even be said that it has reached a brand new level.

Even among powerful individuals at the peak of the Quasi-Saint level, one must be cautious when encountering the Styx Lord's innate killing path.

If one is not careful, when the Innate Killing Path descends, its terrifying killing power could easily injure even a peak Quasi-Saint.

It can kill heaven, earth, and all living beings. The terrifying innate killing intent can even freeze time and space, and its power is naturally terrifying and boundless.

In the darkness, an incredibly terrifying killing intent locked onto him, a feeling of being constantly threatened.

As soon as Jiang Heng reveals the slightest flaw, the two swords of Abi Yuantu will immediately appear and deliver a fatal blow to Jiang Heng.

But Jiang Heng seemed completely unaffected by any of this, simply standing still without making any move, as if he had surrendered without resistance.

"What exactly is this Human Emperor planning?" The Styx Cult Leader was slightly taken aback and wondered to himself.

Although Jiang Heng did not make any move, the fact that he was just standing there made the Styx Cult Master feel a great threat.

What made the Styx Lord even more wary was that Jiang Heng was just standing there, yet he couldn't find the slightest flaw in him.

Yes! There was no flaw! Jiang Heng seemed to have merged into the world, becoming one with it, presenting an unimaginable state.

The Lord of the Styx wanted to make a move, but couldn't find the slightest opportunity, and his expression grew increasingly solemn.

The Lord of the Styx realized that the Human Emperor before him was not only famous, but also possessed extraordinary strength.

"Didn't you just say I couldn't stop you? Then why don't you make a move!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.

"You're courting death!" The Lord of the Styx was furious and didn't care about anything else.

The two swords, Abi Yuantu and Du, suddenly appeared above Jiang Heng's head, carrying an unparalleled killing aura, and slashed towards Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng remained calm, stretched out his large hand, which transformed into a colossal palm that reached towards the two swords that had quietly appeared, the Abi Yuantu Sword.

The terrifying aura of killing intent, possessing the terrifying power to freeze time and space, seemed to have no effect on Jiang Heng's hands whatsoever.

"Ding-dong!"

A tremendous roar of metal clashing echoed as Jiang Heng's massive, towering hand seized both the Abi Yuantu swords.

The two swords, Abi Yuantu and Jian, began to struggle violently, unleashing terrifying killing power that intertwined into terrifying sword beams.

Jiang Heng's giant hand not only possessed boundless power but was also exceptionally sturdy. No matter how much the Abi Yuantu swords struggled, the towering giant hand remained unshaken in the slightest.

"That's all you've got. Here you go!" Jiang Heng shook his head and said disdainfully again.

Jiang Heng casually tossed out the two swords of the struggling Abi Yuantu, and immediately changed his palm into a fist, striking towards the Styx Master.

With a single punch, immense power coalesced, and within Jiang Heng's fist, chaotic light emerged, causing countless paths to roar.

This is Jiang Heng simulating the power of the Chaos Body. Although it is a simulation, to be precise, the power of the Chaos Body that Jiang Heng has condensed at this moment is still above that of Yang Jian.

"Boom!"

Just as Jiang Heng's punch was about to land, the Styx Master timely summoned the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, which blocked Jiang Heng's punch.

Even so, the immense power still struck, forcing the Styx Master and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus to retreat several steps.

If it weren't for the protection of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, Jiang Heng would have injured the Styx Master with just one punch.

"Such strength is indeed no less than that of the human race's supreme ruler back then!" the Styx Lord said in a deep voice.

Jiang Heng did not answer, nor did he give the Styx Master much of a chance to breathe, and continued to unleash punch after punch.

Punch after punch, seemingly at an extremely fast speed, but upon closer inspection, one would find that each of Jiang Heng's punches was extraordinary.

Perhaps it is the power of condensing the chaotic body, or the divine wonder of manifesting the innate Dao body and holy embryo, or the revelation of a separate ancient holy body.

The power of various physical attributes was constantly displayed in Jiang Heng's fists, forcing the Styx Master to retreat repeatedly.

This is Jiang Heng's deepest understanding of various powerful physiques. Jiang Heng had already seen through their essence and mastered the secrets of various powerful physiques.

Otherwise, Jiang Heng would not have been able to so easily help Nezha and Yang Jian obtain two supreme divine bodies.

The Styx Cult Leader was increasingly astonished by the battle; Jiang Heng's strength had completely surpassed the level of a peak Quasi-Saint.

Even a top expert of his caliber could only passively take a beating in front of Jiang Heng, finding it difficult to retaliate.

"Master of the Styx River, you have cultivated for countless years, yet you still only have this much strength. It is truly pathetic!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.

Compared to hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Styx Lord's strength has indeed improved somewhat, but the extent of the improvement is not significant.

Originally, Jiang Heng thought that the Styx Lord was already on the same level as Yang Jian. If so, a battle with the Styx Lord would be quite interesting.

But after they actually fought, Jiang Heng realized that although the Styx Cult Master was strong, he was still a little bit inferior to Yang Jian.

In Jiang Heng's eyes, the Styx Cult Leader was merely passable; Jiang Heng didn't even need to take the battle too seriously.

"Damn it! Don't be too arrogant. I'll show you the killing move I've been cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years!" the Styx Master said angrily.

The Lord of the Styx roared, and the two swords of Abi Yuantu instantly cleaved through the heavens and earth, and a terrifying destructive power emerged from the Styx Ancestor.

In the dim light, a pitch-black world emerged, and a deafening roar resounded as a colossal demon god stepped out from that dark world.

"This is the Demon of Slaughter, the Demon of Darkness, the Demon of Destruction of the World, representing the end of all things in the world, and the final destination of all spirits!"

"This is the supreme mystery of the Innate Killing Path: to prove the Dao through killing, and to end all things in the world through killing!" the Styx Master roared.

"It's somewhat interesting, but it's far from enough. Lord Styx, you've cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, but you've taken a wrong turn!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.

"Hmph! Whether I've taken the wrong path or not, it's not up to you to decide! Kill! Kill! Kill!" the Styx Cult Leader roared.

The word "kill" was uttered three times in a row, and a terrifying killing intent permeated the heavens and earth. The terrifying demon god had completely left that dark world.

As the demon god took a step forward, a tremendous roar resounded, as if the entire world trembled, and an invisible force began to emanate.

This invisible force was exceptionally terrifying; around that terrifying demon god, everything was rapidly withering away.

Just as the Lord of the Styx said, this is the Demon of Destruction, representing the end of all things, and is the supreme mystery of the Innate Killing Path.

"Master of the Styx River, you are an ancient giant who has cultivated for countless years. You have listened to the Dao in the Purple Cloud Palace and stood shoulder to shoulder with the Three Pure Ones and other saints."

But after failing to achieve sainthood, you've regressed further and further, merely imitating the ways of others. How can you expect to achieve anything of your own then?

As Jiang Heng spoke, he took a step forward without fear, carrying an invincible aura, and walked towards the terrifying demon god.

"When Nuwa attained enlightenment, you were in a hurry and imitated the saint Nuwa to create humans, thus creating the incongruous Asura race!"

When other saints attained enlightenment, you were still impatient and imitated them by creating the Asura religion, but you still failed to attain enlightenment.

When Houtu became the seventh saint under the Heavenly Dao, you got anxious again and thought of imitating Houtu to create some kind of final demon.

Blindly imitating others, even if it contains your own principles, is still someone else's path. How can you possibly succeed by walking it again?

As Jiang Heng spoke, he slowly walked forward, gradually concealing the incredibly powerful aura emanating from his body.

All the powerful divine abilities of Jiang Heng completely dissipated, and he seemed to have become a complete mortal, possessing only a mortal body.

But the more this was the case, the more the Styx Lord sensed an indescribable aura of danger emanating from this seemingly mortal human emperor.

The Styx Cult Leader's expression kept changing. Jiang Heng's words were like knives, stabbing deeply into his heart.

The Lord of the Styx was a man of unwavering will, and naturally he wouldn't be swayed by Jiang Heng's few words. Otherwise, he wouldn't have achieved his current level of cultivation.

But Jiang Heng's simple words seemed to possess an indescribable magic, lingering in the mind of the Styx Cult Leader.

"No! I don't believe it, die!" the Styx Lord roared, gathering all his power.

The Demon of Ending also roared, and endless black energy surged around it, revealing a terrifying aura of great destruction.

"You haven't forged your own path, Master of the Styx. You're destined to be a loser for life!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.

After saying that, facing the terrifying and boundless End Demon God, Jiang Heng simply raised his fist and threw a simple punch.

This seemingly simple punch instantly unleashed unimaginable power, affecting infinite space and time.

After one punch, what End Demon? What terrifying aura of Great Destruction? What supreme mystery of the Innate Killing Path? All of it vanished into thin air.

Even the Lord of the Styx was sent flying by Jiang Heng's simple punch. He stood on the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire, his face pale, staring at Jiang Heng in horror.

If it weren't for the powerful defensive capabilities of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, a primordial spiritual treasure, the Styx Lord would have suffered far more than just injuries.

But how could this be? The Lord of the Styx had expected that the Human Emperor before him would be very strong, but he never imagined that Jiang Heng could be this strong.

After witnessing Houtu Ancestral Witch become the seventh saint under the Heavenly Dao, the Styx Lord saw the hope of becoming a saint again, and his burning ambition continued to burn in his heart.

Having secluded himself for hundreds of thousands of years without ever stepping out of the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Styx Lord had indeed gained some insights.

That Demon of Ending is not only the supreme mystery of the Innate Killing Path, but also the means of achieving sainthood created by the Lord of the Styx, imitating the Ancestral Witch Houtu.

Everything has an end, even the primordial world is no exception, and the Demon of Ending was created for this reason.

In fact, if the Lord of the Styx were to cultivate diligently and comprehend the meaning of the Great Destruction, thus transforming into the future End God, he might very well become a saint.

But as Jiang Heng said, what the Styx Cult Leader has been doing is actually just imitating others.

They imitated the goddess Nuwa to create humans, and followed other saints to establish the Asura Cult. Now they want to imitate the ancestral witch Houtu to create the Demon of Ending.

While the Styx Master's own path certainly exists within this, the path he walks is someone else's, thus allowing the Styx Master to forge his own unique path.

Not daring to be the first in the world, yet still dreaming of attaining enlightenment? Even if the Lord of the Styx works for countless eons, he has no hope whatsoever.

The Lord of the Styx stared blankly at the Human Emperor before him, as if he were seeing that familiar figure again, the one who had kept him up at night.

"No! I don't believe it! I've been in seclusion for hundreds of thousands of years, how could I possibly be defeated so easily by a junior like you!" the Styx Master roared.

The Lord of the Styx was naturally unwilling to accept that after cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years, he could not even defeat a human junior.

With the Lord of the Styx standing on the Crimson Lotus of Karmic Fire and wielding the Avici Yuantu Sword, he prepared to continue his attack on Jiang Heng.

Just then, Grand Master Xuandu, who had not yet made a move, stepped forward and stood with the Lord of the Styx River.

"With the strength you just displayed, even I am afraid I would not be your match. You are truly an incredible existence!"

Talented individuals emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years! For humanity to have a successor like you truly puts us to shame!

"Fellow Daoist Styx, this battle is no ordinary one. Why don't we join forces and have a proper fight against this Human Emperor?" said Grand Master Xuandu.

The Lord of the Styx did not answer, but his extremely agitated emotions were calmed down by the words of the Grand Master Xuandu.

"Fellow Daoist Xuandu is also an ancestor of my human race. I am overjoyed to be able to fight against Fellow Daoist Xuandu!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

From the various actions of Grand Master Xuandu, Jiang Heng had already discerned some subtle things and thus guessed some matters.

That's why Jiang Heng wasn't in a hurry to end the battle; he was quite interested in knowing what would happen next.

The fact that Grand Master Xuandu and Master of the Styx, two peak quasi-saints, joined forces to fight Jiang Heng is enough to demonstrate Jiang Heng's strength.

Meanwhile, Nezha and Duobao Daoren, Kong Xuan and Lu Ya had already clashed, and the battles were even more intense than those on Jiang Heng's side.

Nezha had witnessed the battle between Duobao Daoren and Kong Xuan, so he knew the strength of the senior disciple of the Jie Sect in front of him and dared not be careless in the slightest.

The difference in strength between Duobao Daoren and Nezha can be clearly seen from the battle between Nezha and Fairy Yunxiao.

As soon as they clashed, Nezha didn't waste any words. He immediately activated his innate Daoist body and, relying on his powerful physical strength, launched the first attack on Duobao Daoist.

Daoist Duobao reacted quickly, instantly condensing countless magical treasures into a magical treasure dragon, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Duobao Daoren and Nezha were evenly matched in strength, but one had an endless supply of magical treasures, while the other had none.

In truth, Nezha was at a slight disadvantage, but the power of his innate Dao body and sacred embryo somewhat compensated for this.

However, it is almost impossible for Nezha to defeat Duobao Daoren, and the two will probably end up with a draw.

But as the battle continued, the expression on Duobao Daoren's face gradually became distorted, revealing an expression of heartache.

"Why are all the powerful figures in the Great Shang Dynasty destructive? My magic treasure!" Daoist Duobao felt his heart bleeding.

During his battle with Kong Xuan, many of the magical treasures in his Dragon Treasure were swept away by Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light.

Duobao Daoist was heartbroken for a long time because of this. Who would have thought that during the battle with Nezha, his magic weapons would suffer heavy losses again.

Nezha's innate Daoist body and sacred embryo are considered invincible in terms of physical strength. Every time he clashed with the magical dragon of Duobao Daoren, he could destroy several magical treasures.

As time went on, even with his vast wealth and powerful family, how could Duobao Daoist not feel heartbroken seeing the magical treasures he had painstakingly collected crumble one by one?

However, if he didn't use the magic dragon, Duobao Daoren might not be a match for Nezha with his own strength alone.

Helpless, Daoist Duobao could only grit his teeth and fight Nezha to a standstill, his heart bleeding.

Meanwhile, the battle between Kong Xuan and Lu Ya continued. However, compared to the other battlefields, Kong Xuan had now completely gained the upper hand.

Lu Ya was also unfortunate. He had only been back in the prehistoric world for a short time when he encountered Yang Jian, who had single-handedly stormed into the Heavenly Court.

In order to preserve his strength and test the Jade Emperor Haotian's abilities, Lu Ya was defeated by Yang Jian at that time, but he didn't care too much.

Who would have thought that in just a few hundred years, Yang Jian would be able to make further progress and defeat Lu Ya, who had used all his strength, in front of everyone.

Lu Ya's defeat was so humiliating that even his most precious treasure, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, was taken away by Yang Jian. It was a truly miserable defeat.

Without the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, Lu Ya's strength was inevitably affected, yet he still had to fight Kong Xuan.

The Five-Colored Divine Light could sweep away anything, but Lu Ya no longer had any powerful magic weapons and could only rely on his own strength to fight against Kong Xuan.

Faced with that domineering five-colored divine light, Lu Ya was quickly suppressed by Kong Xuan, and even faced several close calls, almost being suppressed by Kong Xuan.

Lu Ya was at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, and was considered a top expert in the prehistoric world, but he had suffered repeated setbacks since his birth.

Lu Ya, proud and arrogant, was filled with resentment, but he still had to bite the bullet and fight Kong Xuan.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the battle between Kong Xuan and Nezha should be the first to determine a winner, and Lu Ya will likely suffer another defeat.

At this moment, within the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao had joined forces. Moreover, many disciples of the Jie Sect were also within the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation.

With the three fairies joining forces, Fairy Yunxiao held the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, Fairy Qiongxiao held the Golden Dragon Scissors, and Fairy Bixiao presided over the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

The other disciples of the Jie Sect joined forces, each guarding one side of the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, which allowed the formation to reach its maximum power.

Even so, after Yang Jian unleashed the power of the Twenty-Four Heavens, his strength was still terrifying, and Fairy Yunxiao and the others could only barely fight him to a draw.

As time went on, Yang Jian grew stronger with each battle, his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens, showing a tendency to become stronger with each fight.

Yang Jian displayed the power of the Chaos Body to the fullest extent. In the endless chaotic light, countless paths emerged, almost becoming one with Yang Jian.

The twenty-four heavens became increasingly clear, and the power of the twenty-four worlds pressed down, causing even the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation to gradually show signs of collapse.

"How can Yang Jian's strength be so terrifying? If this goes on for too long, I'm afraid we still won't be able to withstand him!" Fairy Qiongxiao said in shock.

"We must defend even if we can't stop him. If Yang Jian breaks through the formation, we will be no match for him!" Fairy Yunxiao said in a deep voice.

Fairy Yunxiao is right. The reason they can still barely hold off Yang Jian is precisely because of the power of the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation.

If the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation no longer exists, it would be a pipe dream for Fairy Yunxiao to stop Yang Jian on her own.

As for the other disciples of the Jie Sect, they were nothing but a bunch of worthless scoundrels; Yang Jian could wipe them all out with a single punch.

"There's no rush to break out of the formation. This is an opportunity for me to completely control the Twenty-Four Heavens!" Yang Jian thought to himself.

After hundreds of years of cultivation, Yang Jian has successfully made another step forward, exceeding the limit of the peak Quasi-Saint. However, Yang Jian knows that he has not yet truly reached his limit.

With the Qiankun Ruler and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls working together, Yang Jian has not yet fully mastered the twenty-four heavens that manifest.

If he could completely control the Twenty-Four Heavens, Yang Jian was confident that he could once again storm into the Heavenly Court and completely kill the Jade Emperor Haotian.

Revenge has always been Yang Jian's wish, and he would never give up as long as there is even the slightest chance.

That's why Yang Jian didn't rush to break the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation; he wanted to use this formation to achieve true perfection.

"The Human Emperor's strength is too great. I can only use the magic weapon bestowed upon me by my teacher. This already counts as a defeat, but I cannot refuse to fight!"

As Grand Master Xuandu spoke, a nine-story pagoda floated above his head, manifesting an unparalleled aura and instantly radiating countless rays of light.

"The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, the Supreme Saint bestowed this supreme treasure upon you, he really thinks highly of me!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda was formed at the beginning of the creation of the world by the combined merits of the great god Pangu and the Xuanhuang Qi between heaven and earth.

Although the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda is a treasure acquired through merit, its defense is unparalleled, making it virtually indestructible and the number one defensive treasure in the primordial world.

Even a supreme innate treasure cannot harm the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda in the slightest. Placed above one's head, it is invincible.

The Grand Master Xuandu, who possesses the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, could even hold his own against a true saint, let alone Jiang Heng.

Let alone the strength Jiang Heng is showing now, even the Jiang Heng who fought against the Sage of Guidance back then could not break the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

The reason is simple: although the one who holds the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda is the Grand Master Xuandu, the power condensed within it is that of the Sage Taiqing.

If Jiang Heng could break through the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda with the power of a sage combined, then something truly extraordinary would happen.

That's why Jiang Heng said that the Sage Taiqing really thought highly of him, even bestowing upon the Grand Master Xuandu a supreme treasure like the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.

The Lord of the Underworld is protected by the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire, and the Grand Master Xuandu is protected by the Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth. They are practically two iron turtles.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Grand Master Xuandu and the Lord of the Styx joined forces, they could not defeat Jiang Heng, but Jiang Heng could not defeat them either.

"Human Emperor, then I must offend you!" Grand Master Xuandu said, and had already begun to make his move.

With a wave of his hand, profound Daoist charm emanated, and the Tai Chi Yin Yang diagram appeared. Grand Master Xuandu was performing the Taiqing Daoist technique.

The Taoist methods of the Sage Taiqing are based on Taiji Yin and Yang, and uphold the profound mystery of the natural way of Tao. It is truly the most profound Taoist method of the Xuanmen.

As for the cultivation level of Grand Master Xuandu, it was similar to that of Daoist Duobao, both being at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, and even slightly inferior to that of the Styx Master.

Jiang Heng threw a punch, and the immense power shot towards Grand Master Xuandu, instantly shattering Grand Master Xuandu's power.

But the next moment, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda unleashed countless rays of light, directly blocking Jiang Heng's power and preventing Grand Master Xuandu from being affected in the slightest.

Jiang Heng's lips twitched involuntarily. Just as Jiang Heng had expected, this was bullying, and there was no way to fight back!

With the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda at his disposal, Grand Master Xuandu had no worries whatsoever, and various powerful Taiqing Dao techniques were constantly being displayed in his hands.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Heng could only ignore Grand Master Xuandu. In any case, Grand Master Xuandu's own strength wasn't particularly high, and he couldn't harm Jiang Heng.

The Styx Cult Master became Jiang Heng's outlet for his anger, and in the following time, Jiang Heng launched a fierce attack on the Styx Cult Master.

The Karmic Fire Red Lotus also possessed exceptional defensive capabilities, but since the Styx Master was not a saint, he was unable to unleash the full power of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Under Jiang Heng's aggressive offensive, the Styx Cult Leader quickly became extremely disheveled, not only being forced to retreat repeatedly but also sustaining injuries.

The Lord of the Styx was also extremely aggrieved. As a top expert in the primordial world, when had he ever been humiliated like this?

But there was nothing he could do; the Styx Cult Leader had run into Jiang Heng, and no matter how much resentment he felt, he could only keep it to himself.

Fortunately, as time went on, Grand Master Xuandu realized the situation was not good and, intentionally or unintentionally, began to help the Styx Master resist Jiang Heng.

With the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda as his treasure, Jiang Heng was truly powerless against the Styx Master and the Xuandu Grand Master.

The three top experts were locked in a fierce battle, unleashing a variety of powerful techniques. After an unknown amount of time, the situation remained undecided.

Just then, a roar that shook the heavens and the earth came, and Jiang Heng and the other three top experts turned around at the same time.

You wouldn't believe it until you turn around and see Lu Ya's disheveled figure fleeing, with Kong Xuan hot on his heels.

Just as Jiang Heng had predicted, the first to determine a winner was indeed Kong Xuan and Lu Ya. And in the end, it was indeed Lu Ya who lost.

Judging from Lu Ya's current appearance, he was in a terrible state, his aura extremely weak, indicating that he must have suffered a serious injury.

Kong Xuan, on the other hand, was filled with fighting spirit and relentlessly pursued Lu Ya, his aura even stronger than before.

Kong Xuan and Lu Ya, one is the son of Yuan Feng and the other is the son of the demon emperor Jun. The Phoenix Clan and the Three-Legged Golden Crow Clan are both the fastest in the world.

In this chase and escape, they tore through layers of space, covering hundreds of millions of miles in an instant, and quickly disappeared from the sight of many powerful figures.

"Judging from Kong Xuan's appearance, he has clearly gained some new insights into the Five Elements. I should pass on a cultivation technique to him!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.

The game "Perfect World" also features a Phoenix Clan, whose strongest members are even supreme giants at the Immortal King level, comparable to saints in the primordial world.

It was indeed very difficult for Kong Xuan to become a saint in the primordial world, but it was not difficult to go further.

The Styx Cult Leader and Grand Master Xuandu exchanged a glance, their expressions both somewhat solemn. Lu Ya's defeat was not good news for them.

Fortunately, Kong Xuan was chasing after Lu Ya and couldn't affect them for the time being. But soon, they sensed Kong Xuan's presence again.

Although Kong Xuan desperately wanted to kill Lu Ya in one fell swoop, he also knew the importance of the situation. Defeating Lu Ya was easy, but killing him was not.

Moreover, Jiang Heng had already instructed them not to take Lu Ya's life for the time being. Therefore, after chasing for a while, Kong Xuan returned.

As for Lu Ya, after being suppressed by Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light once, he had already suffered serious injuries and dared not return.

When Kong Xuan returned, not only the Styx Master and the Grand Master Xuandu sensed his presence, but other powerful figures also felt it.

Just as the Styx Master and the Grand Master Xuandu had feared, the balance between Xiqi and the Shang Dynasty had been completely shattered with Lu Ya's defeat.

"Fellow Daoist Xuandu, the outcome is decided. In the end, we are still the more skilled!" Jiang Heng said with a smile, looking at Grand Master Xuandu.

"So be it! Perhaps this is fate. Now that the outcome is decided, I shall keep my promise and no longer interfere in the affairs of the human race!" said Grand Master Xuandu.

There was no trace of disappointment on Grand Master Xuandu's face; perhaps for this human ancestor, this was merely a formality.

The Styx Cult Leader had a gloomy expression. He was no match for Jiang Heng to begin with, and now that Grand Master Xuandu had given up the fight, what else could he do?

The Styx Cult Master was no longer thinking about how to defeat Jiang Heng, but rather how to escape unscathed from the clutches of the Human Emperor before him.

"Damn it! How could Lu Ya be so incompetent, losing so quickly? What should we do?" Guang Chengzi said with a gloomy expression.

"There's no other way! Lu Ya has been defeated and fled, and Kong Xuan has no more opponents. With his strength, he can decide the outcome of any battlefield in an instant."

"Senior Brother Antarctic, please inform our teacher of this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" said Master Taiyi in a deep voice.

The Old Man of the South Pole nodded. They had considered the possibility of failure, but they hadn't expected to be defeated so quickly.

Lu Ya was, after all, a peak Quasi-Saint. In their minds, even if he couldn't defeat Kong Xuan, blocking Kong Xuan shouldn't be a big problem.

Who would have thought that Lu Ya not only failed to stop Kong Xuan, but was instead defeated and forced to flee, causing the situation to take a sharp turn for the worse.

As Guang Chengzi and the others had predicted, Kong Xuan did not linger after returning and quickly headed to a battlefield.

Kong Xuan didn't choose anyone else, but instantly appeared beside Nezha, and the five-colored divine light enveloped the dragon magic weapon of Duobao Daoist.

When Duobao Daoist saw Kong Xuan, he was instantly terrified. He had never wanted to fight Kong Xuan, which was why he had chosen Nezha as his opponent.

Who would have thought that Nezha would destroy many of his magical treasures, causing him heavy losses, and now even Kong Xuan has come.

Daoist Duobao was already worried about his magic weapon, and now that Nezha and Kong Xuan had joined forces, he dared not continue the fight.

Without any hesitation, Daoist Duobao instantly put away his magical dragon, turned around, and broke through layers of space, heading towards Xiqi.

Although Kong Xuan and Nezha pursued relentlessly, even with their combined efforts, it was extremely difficult for them to capture a powerful figure like Duobao Daoren.

In the midst of this chase and escape, another incomparably magnificent aura appeared in the world, causing Nezha and the others to turn their heads in surprise.

In an instant, twenty-four enormous worlds appeared clearly in the heavens, exuding an extremely magnificent aura.

At this moment, even those with shallow cultivation can see the mountains and rivers of the twenty-four great worlds with unparalleled clarity.

Beneath those twenty-four great worlds, Yang Jian stood proudly alone, the aura emanating from him having become even more profound.

Opposite Yang Jian, Fairy Yunxiao and the other disciples of the Jie Sect all stared at Yang Jian with horrified expressions, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.

It's no wonder that Fairy Yunxiao and the other disciples of the Jie Sect were so shocked; Yang Jian's performance just now was simply too extraordinary.

Originally, relying on the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, the Three Immortals and many disciples of the Intercepting Sect worked together to temporarily maintain a delicate balance with Yang Jian.

It would be difficult for Yang Jian to break the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, and it would also be difficult for the Three Immortals and many disciples of the Jie Sect to truly suppress Yang Jian.

This situation was not unacceptable to Fairy Yunxiao and the other disciples of the Jie Sect. After all, as long as they could stop Yang Jian, they would consider it a success.

But as the battle continued, the disciples of the Jie Sect, including Fairy Yunxiao, did not notice that the Twenty-Four Heavens above Yang Jian's head were becoming clearer and clearer.

By the time Fairy Yunxiao and other disciples of the Jie Sect discovered the anomaly, Yang Jian had already succeeded in one fell swoop and completely controlled the Twenty-Four Heavens.

At that moment, Yang Jian had reached a state of perfection in both his own cultivation and his mastery of the Twenty-Four Heavens.

It could even be said that at that moment, Yang Jian was completely without any flaws in the realm below the level of a sage, and had truly become a perfect being.

Therefore, amidst the horrified gazes of Fairy Yunxiao and the other disciples of the Jie Sect, Yang Jian instantly unleashed incredible power.

The Twenty-Four Heavens had completely transformed into Twenty-Four Worlds. When these Twenty-Four Worlds descended to suppress the Yellow River Formation, it completely collapsed.

The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation collapsed so completely that at this moment, it is difficult to find even the slightest trace of it.

The moment the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation collapsed, the disciples of the Jie Sect who set it up were instantly severely injured by the backlash.

If it weren't for Fairy Yunxiao's quick reaction, she would have been able to escape the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation with all the disciples of the Jie Sect using the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron.

At this point, most of the disciples of the Jie Sect had probably already turned to ashes, and even if the Three Immortals of Sanxiao were not dead, they would probably be seriously injured and unconscious.

However, even though they escaped one disaster, when faced with the even more terrifying Yang Jian, these disciples of the Jie Sect had no chance left.

After Yang Jian broke through the formation, the outcome of this contest between the Shang Dynasty and Xiqi was no longer in doubt.

Lu Ya escaped with serious injuries and will certainly not reappear for the time being. Fairy Yunxiao and other disciples of the Jie Sect are already injured and have no strength left to fight.

Grand Master Xuandu also kept his promise and decided never to interfere in human affairs again. As a result, the number of powerful individuals remaining on the Xiqi side was extremely small.

With just the two peak Quasi-Saints, the Styx Cult Master and Duobao Daoist, how could they possibly stop Yang Jian and the other four top experts who were eyeing them covetously?

Even if we include the four quasi-saints, Maitreya, the Medicine Master, the Antarctic Immortal, and Zhao Gongming, they still wouldn't be able to stop Jiang Heng and the others in the slightest.

It can be said that when Xiqi faced the Shang Dynasty, it had already suffered a crushing defeat and had no chance of resisting the Shang Dynasty.

If there were no contingency plans, it would be a natural progression for the Shang Dynasty to pacify Xiqi in one battle and reunite the human race.

Jiang Heng glanced at the Styx Cult Leader and smiled slightly. It was this smile that made the Styx Cult Leader break out in a cold sweat instantly.

At this point, the situation was crystal clear: he was no match for Jiang Heng to begin with, let alone with Yang Jian and other top experts.

The Lord of the Styx felt that even though he claimed that "the sea of ​​blood will never dry up and the Styx will never die," he was afraid that he would have to meet his end here today.

However, Jiang Heng only glanced at him and did not continue to make a move, not because Jiang Heng wanted to let the Styx Cult Leader go so easily.

Moreover, Jiang Heng was well aware that what he was about to face was far more crucial. Compared to that, the Lord of the Styx was utterly insignificant.

"The Sage is probably about to make his move; what follows is the true calamity for humanity!" Grand Master Xuandu said in a deep voice.

Jiang Heng nodded. If Xiqi were so easy to destroy, he would have destroyed it when it was first established.

Now, Xiqi has suffered a crushing defeat, and whether it is the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect, or the Heavenly Court, they have all become sitting ducks.

If Jiang Heng so desired, he could turn all the powerful figures in Xiqi into ashes in an instant.

However, Jiang Heng also understood that the entity behind Xiqi would not allow this to happen, making the intervention of the Sage the only option.

Just then, a purple aura appeared from the east, stretching for 30,000 miles, with rosy clouds and colorful hues swirling around, and an unparalleled aura manifested from the heavens above.

Nine five-clawed golden dragons pulled an incomparably magnificent carriage, which slowly descended from the heavens.
