Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start
Chapter 166 Demon Ancestor Rahu!
Chapter 166 Demon Ancestor Rahu! (A long chapter of 10,000 words)
After a detailed investigation, Jiang Heng discovered that this should be the early stage of the Dragon-Han Calamity, and the three races of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin had not yet truly started their war.
The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans dominated the primordial world, with numerous powerful individuals within their clans. There were hundreds or even thousands of Great Luo Golden Immortals alone, making them no weaker than the future Witch and Demon clans.
As the leaders of the three races, Zulong, Yuanfeng, and Shiqilin are all powerful beings at the peak of the Quasi-Saint level, standing at the pinnacle of the current prehistoric world.
As for Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou, they are still unknown figures, and few people in the prehistoric world know about them.
With Jiang Heng's current strength, it would be a waste of time to focus on minor characters.
Therefore, Jiang Heng's goal was very clear from the beginning: he was going to meet the legendary Demon Ancestor Rahu.
Legend has it that the Demon Ancestor Rahu was a being born from the corpse and obsession of a fallen Great Dao Demon God.
The Great Dao Demon God was killed by the Great God Pangu, and therefore harbored extreme resentment towards the living beings in the primordial world created by the Great God Pangu.
Born from the resentment of the Great Dao Demon God, Demon Ancestor Rahu was destined to achieve enlightenment by slaughtering all living beings in the primordial world.
This inevitably reminded Jiang Heng of the altar he had seen deep within the East Sea Eye, where the obsessions of more than two thousand Great Dao Demon Gods resided.
Since Demon Ancestor Rahu was born from the corpse and obsession of the Great Dao Demon God, he is naturally inseparable from that mysterious altar.
Finding traces of the Demon Ancestor Rahu in this primordial world was naturally no easy task.
However, although Jiang Heng might not be able to find the Demon Ancestor Rahu, he knew that there was a place where the Demon Ancestor Rahu would definitely go.
With one step, Jiang Heng arrived near Mount Sumeru in the western part of the primordial world, the ancestral vein of the western land.
It is within this Mount Sumeru that a supreme treasure is sealed—the Four Swords of Zhuxian, which can only be broken by the Four Sages.
When the Great God Pangu created the world, the Four Swords of Zhuxian helped him slay countless demon gods and immortals, and thus became tainted with boundless malevolent energy.
After the great god Pangu perished while creating the world, the Four Swords of Zhuxian were sealed in Mount Sumeru, protected by the seal of the great god Pangu.
Demon Ancestor Rahu accidentally discovered the whereabouts of the Four Swords of Zhuxian and was immediately shocked by their boundless malevolent aura.
For this reason, even the Demon Ancestor Rahu coveted this treasure, but the Pangu seal in Mount Sumeru was far too powerful.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Demon Ancestor Rahu is now a peak Quasi-Saint; his idea of breaking Pangu's seal in Mount Sumeru is pure fantasy.
After much deliberation, Demon Ancestor Rahu finally came up with a solution: to use his boundless blood and resentment to break Pangu's seal.
Because of the power of Pangu's seal, the Demon Ancestor Rahu needed an extremely large amount of essence blood and resentment to completely break Pangu's seal.
For this reason, the Demon Ancestor Rahu began to instigate a great war between the dragon, phoenix, and qilin races in the primordial world, in order to collect their essence and resentment.
In the current primordial world, the three races of dragon, phoenix, and qilin have not yet truly started their war, which means that the Demon Ancestor Rahu has not yet begun to collect resentment and essence.
Therefore, the Four Swords of Zhuxian are still within the Pangu Seal on Mount Sumeru and were not taken away by the Demon Ancestor Rahu.
And a powerful being like Demon Ancestor Rahu, having already discovered the existence of the Four Swords of Zhuxian, would surely leave some means behind in the Pangu Seal.
Jiang Heng was certain that as long as he touched the Pangu seal, the Demon Ancestor Rahu would sense it and come to him.
With that thought, Jiang Heng took a step forward and arrived at Mount Sumeru. Instantly, a terrifying aura swept over him.
Since Jiang Heng was born into the primordial world, he had only ever heard of the Four Swords of Zhuxian, but had never actually seen this supreme treasure.
At this moment, sensing the boundless killing intent emanating from the Four Swords of Zhuxian, Jiang Heng couldn't help but sigh that the Four Swords of Zhuxian were indeed supreme treasures for slaughter.
At this moment, the Four Swords of Zhuxian were not only sealed by Pangu, but also without a master, yet they were still enough to shake Jiang Heng's mind.
That terrifying baleful aura was even stronger than the baleful aura at the peak of the Heaven and Earth Calamity, which was truly astonishing.
"These two auras? Could they be Zhunti and Jieyin?" Jiang Heng's expression suddenly changed, and his gaze turned to a certain place on Mount Sumeru.
Jiang Heng's eyes pierced through layers of void, revealing a Seven Treasures Tree and a mass of innate golden energy radiating a powerful aura.
These are Jieyin and Zhunti, two of the six future sages under the Heavenly Dao. However, these two future sages have not yet truly taken form.
The Sage of Guidance was of extraordinary birth, being the first wisp of golden energy in the world after the creation of heaven and earth.
The West belongs to the element of metal, and is a place where the energy of metal (庚金) is abundant. It is precisely for this reason that the Sage of Guidance cultivated himself on Mount Sumeru before he took human form.
As for the Sage Zhunti, he was transformed from the innate spiritual root of the Seven Treasures Tree. At this time, he is also rooted in Mount Sumeru and is slowly cultivating.
The two incomparably powerful saints of the future have not yet taken human form, so their strength is naturally nothing special.
With Jiang Heng's current strength, killing Zhunti and Jieyin, nipping the two saints in the bud, should not be a problem.
But after careful consideration, Jiang Heng ultimately chose to give up. It wasn't that Jiang Heng didn't want to do it, but that he couldn't.
Both Zhunti and Jieyin were born under a great destiny; otherwise, they could not have become saints in the future.
With such great fortune concentrated within him, killing Zhunti and Jieyin would be incredibly difficult, with almost no hope of success.
Moreover, Jiang Heng still only has a superficial understanding of the River of Time and does not know what consequences killing Jieyin and Zhunti would have.
Logically speaking, sages transcend heaven and earth, are immortal and indestructible, and even the long river of time cannot affect them in the slightest.
Even if Jiang Heng were to kill Jieyin and Zhunti now, it would probably have no impact on the future timeline.
The future saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, might even sense the crisis and travel through the river of time to descend upon this era.
It was precisely because of these reasons that Jiang Heng ultimately did not choose to take action against the current Jieyin and Zhunti.
At this time, it was still far before the Saints Jieyin and Zhunti took human form, so it would not have any impact on Jiang Heng at all.
Following the direction from which the malevolent energy emanated, Jiang Heng quickly arrived before a massive seal, within which the Four Swords of Zhuxian floated silently.
Even before entering the Pangu Seal, just by sensing its aura, Jiang Heng understood why the Demon Ancestor Rahu couldn't break the Pangu Seal.
The Pangu Seal is incredibly powerful, almost reaching the level of a saint. Even a peak quasi-saint would find it difficult to break the Pangu Seal.
After observing for a moment, Jiang Heng unleashed a punch that struck the Pangu seal squarely. In an instant, a tremendous roar resounded.
With a single punch, Jiang Heng staggered back three steps, while the Pangu Seal remained completely unshaken.
Jiang Heng unconsciously shook his head. With his current strength, even if he tried his best, he would not be able to break the Pangu seal in front of him.
Even with a supreme innate treasure like the Chaos Bell in hand, Jiang Heng's chances of breaking Pangu's seal are probably not very high.
Just as Jiang Heng was pondering, the space behind him suddenly flowed like water, creating subtle ripples.
"They arrived quite quickly!" Jiang Heng seemed to sense something and turned to look behind him.
In the blink of an eye, a crack suddenly appeared in the fluctuating space, and a figure walked out from it.
Before he even arrived, an incomparably sharp killing intent swept towards Jiang Heng, even more violent and domineering than the innate killing path of the future Styx Master.
Jiang Heng's prediction was correct; the Demon Ancestor Rahu had indeed left behind a method within the Pangu Seal. Jiang Heng's punch just now had already attracted the Demon Ancestor Rahu.
The moment he saw Jiang Heng, Demon Ancestor Rahu didn't waste any words; his overwhelming killing intent surged towards Jiang Heng.
Suddenly, a long spear pierced through the void and appeared in front of Jiang Heng.
A monstrous demonic aura surged forth, and within this incredibly powerful aura, an unimaginable killing intent was concentrated, causing Jiang Heng's expression to change slightly.
"The God-Slaying Spear? It really is an incredibly powerful demonic treasure!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.
Sensing the extremely powerful killing aura, Jiang Heng knew perfectly well that the spear in the hands of the Demon Ancestor Rahu was none other than the infamous God-Slaying Spear.
Legend has it that in the chaos, there was a primordial lotus, and the great god Pangu was born alongside this primordial lotus.
After the birth of the great god Pangu, the Creation Lotus collapsed and transformed into countless treasures, among which are many famous treasures in the primordial world today.
Among them, the roots of the Primordial Lotus, rooted in the wild chaos, constantly absorbed the evil energy, and over time, gradually transformed into the original form of the God-Slaying Spear.
The God-Slaying Spear was born in response to the destiny of killing and warfare. Because it emerged from the mud unsullied, it absorbed the evil energy in the chaos and became a deadly weapon.
The God-Slaying Spear was originally intended to become a supreme innate treasure, but it was discovered by the Demon Ancestor Rahu during its evolution.
The Demon Ancestor Rahu corrupted the God-Slaying Spear with endless remnants of hatred from the Great Dao, transforming it into a supreme demonic treasure.
The power of the God-Slaying Spear is in no way inferior to that of a supreme innate treasure. This spear played a crucial role in enabling the Demon Ancestor Rahu to become a top powerhouse in the primordial world.
However, after the Demon Ancestor Rahu perished, the God-Slaying Spear vanished into the vast void without a trace.
However, according to Jiang Heng's judgment, since Demon Ancestor Luo Hou died at the hands of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the God-Slaying Spear is most likely in Dao Ancestor Hongjun's possession.
However, Jiang Heng did not know why the Dao Ancestor did not bestow the God-Slaying Spear upon the Three Pure Ones and the other six saints after preaching the Dao three times at Zixiao Palace.
Demon Ancestor Rahu was already a peak Quasi-Saint, and with the addition of the ferocious God-Slaying Spear, the strength of Demon Ancestor Rahu was simply unimaginable.
According to Jiang Heng's judgment, even if Yang Jian, who had reached the pinnacle of cultivation, were to fight against the Demon Ancestor Rahu, he would most likely not be a match for him.
At that moment, as the God-Slaying Spear pierced through, Jiang Heng was instantly affected by its terrifying killing aura, rendering him unable to move.
In terms of sheer destructive power, the God-Slaying Spear even surpasses the Pangu Banner. If struck by it, even a saint's immortal body would be unable to withstand it, let alone Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng's expression hardened, and his primordial spirit unleashed boundless divine light, blocking the terrifying killing power of the God-Slaying Spear. Then, he unleashed a punch.
With a single punch, the world was turned upside down. The power of the Heavenly Dao descended, carrying boundless rage, threatening to bring about the end of the world.
A sense of utter devastation swept forth, conjuring up a vision of the end of the world, which clashed with the terrifying killing intent of the God-Slaying Spear.
"Boom!"
The incredibly terrifying forces collided, causing the entire Mount Sumeru to tremble, and countless towering peaks collapsed in an instant.
Jiang Heng stood firmly in place, while the Demon Ancestor Rahu held the God-Slaying Spear and stared at Jiang Heng with murderous intent.
"In the primordial world, there is actually a powerful figure like you. This truly surprises me!" Demon Ancestor Rahu stared at Jiang Heng and said in a deep voice.
Demon Ancestor Rahu was certainly qualified to say that. With the God-Slaying Spear in his hand, Demon Ancestor Rahu regarded Yuan Feng, Zu Long, and Shi Qilin as objects of his attention.
Just now, this mysterious expert in front of him actually blocked his attack with the God-Slaying Spear, which naturally surprised the Demon Ancestor Rahu.
"The God-Slaying Spear is impressive, but the Demon Ancestor Rahu is not as good as he sounds!" Jiang Heng shook his head and said.
The Demon Ancestor Rahu had a gloomy expression, and an extremely sharp killing intent emanated from his body. In the primordial world, there was actually a living being who dared to underestimate him?
Jiang Heng only said that the God-Slaying Spear was good, but said that the Demon Ancestor Rahu was not as good as he had heard of in person. His disappointment was evident in his words.
What does this mean? It's clearly saying that without the God-Slaying Spear, he is nothing. Could the Demon Ancestor Rahu tolerate this?
"You ignorant fool, thinking you can be so arrogant just because you managed to catch one of my bullets?" Demon Ancestor Rahu said coldly.
Demon Ancestor Rahu held the God-Slaying Spear, and a dense aura of malevolence quietly gathered, with an extremely powerful killing force firmly locking onto Jiang Heng.
"Whether it is or not, we'll find out after the battle!" Jiang Heng said dismissively.
"Die!" Demon Ancestor Rahu was instantly enraged, and the God-Slaying Spear once again tore through the void and appeared in front of Jiang Heng.
At this moment, the killing power condensed within the God-Slaying Spear was even stronger than before, and its sharp killing intent was almost solidified.
Even a quasi-saint would likely perish instantly before such a powerful spear strike. Only a peak quasi-saint could withstand even a fraction of its power.
However, even a peak Quasi-Saint cannot withstand the God-Slaying Spear without a supreme treasure. The best option is to temporarily avoid its sharp edge.
At this moment, after Jiang Heng arrived in this space-time, he didn't have a single treasure, let alone a magic weapon.
Jiang Heng, all alone, knew that confronting the God-Slaying Spear head-on was not the right choice, but he made that choice nonetheless.
Faced with the terrifying God-Slaying Spear, Jiang Heng did not retreat but advanced, taking a step forward and unleashing a powerful burst of physical strength.
Because of his profound research into the Dao of Life, Jiang Heng's physical body, though not a divine body, has long surpassed any divine body.
It could even be said that after Jiang Heng glimpsed the secrets of the Great Dao of Life, he has been steadily moving towards the true form of Pangu.
The true form of Pangu is even stronger than the body of a sage. Take Jiang Heng as an example, his physical body is actually no weaker than any innate magic weapon.
After unleashing the power of his physical body, Jiang Heng threw a punch, and the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared, with supreme intent condensed in Jiang Heng's punch.
This is the second move of the Imperial Fist, Samsara! It uses the profound mysteries of the earth to support a powerful physical body, and unleashes an ultimate strike with the essence of Samsara.
As Jiang Heng threw this punch, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou's God-Slaying Spear seemed to sink into a quagmire, unable to advance even an inch further.
The Demon Ancestor Rahu's expression shifted slightly, and his body trembled gently. An extremely dense murderous aura immediately erupted from the God-Slaying Spear.
The gathering of malevolent energy made the God-Slaying Spear even more terrifying, and it thrust forward once more.
Just then, the concept of the Six Paths of Reincarnation erupted from Jiang Heng's fist, directly dissipating the terrifying killing power.
A vast power swept over, and the God-Slaying Spear in the hands of Demon Ancestor Rahu not only failed to advance an inch, but he was instead forced back half a step.
"The Demon Ancestor Rahu is nothing special!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.
"kill!"
Without saying a word, Demon Ancestor Rahu unleashed a torrent of demonic energy from his body, wielding the God-Slaying Spear, and charged toward Jiang Heng once more.
"Hmph! I'll show you that you're no match for me right now!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.
The moment he spoke, Jiang Heng threw another punch, unleashing a mighty torrent of humanity, imbued with an indomitable will.
Jiang Heng stood like a supreme god amidst the torrent of humanity, unleashing a strike that shattered the heavens with his indomitable will.
The indomitable will made the vast torrent of humanity unstoppable; no matter what demon ancestor Rahu or what overwhelming demonic energy, none of them mattered.
Impacted by the overwhelming tide of humanity, Demon Ancestor Rahu staggered back three steps before regaining his footing.
If one were to observe closely, it would not be difficult to notice that at this moment, the Demon Ancestor Rahu's hand, which was tightly gripping the God-Slaying Spear, was actually trembling slightly.
"Impossible! How could you possess such power?" Demon Ancestor Rahu exclaimed in utter shock.
Jiang Heng looked at Demon Ancestor Rahu with disdain. Although Demon Ancestor Rahu was a peak Quasi-Saint, his own strength was far from reaching the peak level.
Not only did he fail to master the Four Swords of Zhuxian, he also failed to advance further by using the boundless essence and blood of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans.
"Hahaha! Quasi-Saint is not the end of cultivation, but the starting point for pursuing the Great Dao. You know nothing about true power right now!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.
The current Demon Ancestor Rahu, wielding the God-Slaying Spear, is somewhat stronger than Yang Jian, but still far from Jiang Heng's level.
During the Investiture of the Gods calamity, Jiang Heng, through hundreds of thousands of years of effort, had already attained the Dao Fruit of nine lifetimes and had initially entered the realm of a sage.
When Jiang Heng arrived at the timeline of the Dragon-Han Calamity, although he was only at the peak of the Quasi-Saint level, his realm still existed.
The power that can be unleashed by someone with the cultivation level of a sage at the peak of a quasi-sage level is naturally far beyond that of a peak quasi-sage.
This is actually very similar to the three corpses of a sage. Although the three corpses of a sage are quasi-sages, who below the sage can be a match for the three corpses of a sage?
It's true that Demon Ancestor Rahu is very strong, but he could never have imagined that this mysterious powerhouse in front of him actually possesses the realm of a saint.
"Impossible! I don't believe it! I will kill you! The demons have descended upon the world, I am the Demon Ancestor!" Demon Ancestor Rahu roared madly.
Endless demonic energy surged from the body of Demon Ancestor Rahu, and within this overwhelming demonic energy was an extreme resentment.
Jiang Heng was naturally familiar with this resentment, which stemmed from the endless resentment born after the fall of the Great Dao Demon God.
With the overwhelming demonic energy gathering, Demon Ancestor Rahu instantly transformed into a gigantic demon god, quite similar to the Great Dao Demon God.
At that moment, Jiang Heng suddenly sensed a supreme aura emanating from the enormous demon god, which was the rudimentary form of the demonic path.
Rahu is the Demon Ancestor, born with the Demonic Path. However, at this time, the Demon Ancestor Rahu has not yet truly mastered the Demonic Path.
If he were to gain control of the demonic path, Demon Ancestor Rahu would not be a peak Quasi-Saint, but would instead step into the Saint realm and become a true Demon Ancestor.
Even though it was only in its nascent stage of demonic cultivation, the power unleashed by Demon Ancestor Rahu at this moment was terrifying and boundless, already exceeding the level of a peak Quasi-Saint.
"Hmph! I'll show you what true power is!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.
The moment he spoke, an unparalleled aura emerged from Jiang Heng's body. This was the supreme realm of a saint, far beyond what any quasi-saint could compare to.
Then, Jiang Heng threw a punch, and supreme sword intent emerged. The nine-leaf sword light soared into the sky, and the rich Geng metal energy condensed, transforming into a deity.
This was just the beginning. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Heng took another step forward and threw another punch.
A dense aura of Yi Wood condensed and transformed into a deity with a blurred face, its azure light instantly piercing through the void.
This wasn't the end. Jiang Heng unleashed three more Emperor Fists: Supreme Goodness Like Water, Heavenly Fire Spreading Across the Plains, and Great Virtue Carrying All Things.
As these three punches were unleashed, three more indistinct deities appeared, their supreme aura instantly filling Mount Sumeru.
The five deities each occupy a direction according to the five elements, and their energy is connected to each other through the generating force of the five elements, just like a whole.
In an instant, an indescribable aura emerged, and the entire Mount Sumeru trembled once again as terrifying power began to converge on the five deities.
To the astonishment of Demon Ancestor Rahu, the invisible power of heaven and earth poured into the bodies of the five deities, increasing their power once again.
The five deities each occupied a side, and the power of the five elements flowed among the five enormous deities, forming a huge five-colored ray of light.
The five forms of Emperor Fist were unleashed in succession, with the power of the five elements generating and restraining each other, rotating endlessly, and showing a faint tendency to coalesce into one.
Just as Demon Ancestor Rahu condensed into the enormous demon god form of the ancestor of all demons, he was immediately trapped in the middle by the three emperors manifested by Jiang Heng's Five Forms of Emperor Fist.
What followed was the brutal beating, with Demon Ancestor Rahu roaring repeatedly while wielding the God-Slaying Spear, but he couldn't withstand the combined attack of the Five Emperors.
The power of the five elements is condensed into a whole, which is equivalent to increasing the power of the five styles of Emperor Fist by five times. How could the Demon Ancestor Rahu be able to match it?
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
At this moment, Demon Ancestor Rahu could no longer care about his anger. Surrounded and beaten by the Five Emperors, he was not only beaten to a very bad state, but also felt a fatal threat.
At this moment, how could Demon Ancestor Rahu not understand that the strength of the mysterious expert before him was simply beyond imagination, a powerhouse that had never appeared in the primordial world before.
Demon Ancestor Rahu had to admit that what Jiang Heng had said was completely wrong; he truly knew nothing about real power.
Take this mysterious powerhouse in front of him, for example. Demon Ancestor Luo Hou is certain that the other party has not stepped into a higher realm.
The Demon Ancestor Rahu had already sensed the possibility of reaching the Saint Realm; otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to sacrifice countless living beings to allow himself to enter the Saint Realm.
Demon Ancestor Luo Hou knew that once he stepped into the realm of sainthood, all other powerful beings would become like ants in his presence.
If Jiang Heng were to reach the realm of a sage, he wouldn't need to unleash the five Emperor Fists in succession; a simple wave of his hand would be enough to reduce the Demon Ancestor Rahu to ashes.
But how could someone who wasn't a saint possess such incredible power? This was something that Demon Ancestor Rahu couldn't understand.
"No! I can't continue fighting this mysterious powerhouse, or I will truly perish here today!" Demon Ancestor Rahu thought to himself.
Realizing the situation was dire, Demon Ancestor Rahu completely disregarded the Four Swords of Zhuxian. The intense sense of crisis made him subtly consider retreating.
Just as Demon Ancestor Rahu hesitated, the five emperors formed from the five forms of Emperor Fist roared in unison, and the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth became one.
A dazzling five-colored light shot into the sky, and an incredible power erupted at this moment, even causing the Pangu seal to tremble slightly.
"Not good!" Demon Ancestor Rahu's expression changed drastically. He no longer cared about anything else and instantly transformed into a wisp of dark light.
The God-Slaying Spear pierced the void, and the wisp of dark light that the Demon Ancestor Rahu had transformed into instantly entered it and disappeared.
"Want to leave? I'll show you the secrets of the Great Dao Demon God!" Jiang Heng muttered to himself, staring in the direction where Demon Ancestor Rahu had disappeared.
With Jiang Heng's current strength, defeating Demon Ancestor Luo Hou is easy, keeping Demon Ancestor Luo Hou alive is difficult, and killing Demon Ancestor Luo Hou is even more difficult.
Moreover, the Demon Ancestor Rahu also possesses immense fortune, making it extremely difficult to bring him down.
Unless one's strength far surpasses that of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, placing them on a completely different level, it is impossible to break through all laws with sheer force and kill him.
However, Jiang Heng's decision to let Demon Ancestor Rahu go this time was indeed intentional. Otherwise, how could Demon Ancestor Rahu have left unscathed?
The Demon Ancestor Rahu was born from the endless resentment that arose after the fall of the Great Dao Demon God, and he has countless connections with the Great Dao God and Demon.
Jiang Heng was certain that through Demon Ancestor Rahu, he would be able to glimpse the mysteries of the Great Dao and the Gods and Demons, which is why he let Demon Ancestor Rahu leave.
However, while it was easy for Demon Ancestor Rahu to leave, getting rid of Jiang Heng was out of the question, as Jiang Heng had already left his mark on him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Heng chuckled and took a step forward, breaking through layers of space and following the mysterious sensation.
"So the lair of the Demon Ancestor Rahu is in the Western Lands. No wonder he arrived so quickly!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.
Originally, Jiang Heng thought that the lair of the Demon Ancestor Rahu might be deep in the eye of the East Sea, but now it seems that this is not the case.
In Jiang Heng's perception, the Demon Ancestor Rahu had not left the Western Lands. However, the Demon Ancestor Rahu was quite cautious, circling the primordial world before returning to the West.
Jiang Heng did not rush to find the Demon Ancestor Rahu. Instead, he wandered around the western land and found that the western land had long been controlled by the Demon Ancestor Rahu.
In the primordial world, the human race had not yet been born, but in addition to the three races of dragons, phoenixes, and qilins, there were various other creatures.
In this western land, the dragon, phoenix, and qilin races are not numerous; instead, all kinds of spirits coexist.
On the surface, the myriad beings seem to have no connection with each other, but in fact, these beings have long been secretly controlled by the Demon Ancestor Rahu.
It's not hard to see that Demon Ancestor Rahu has enormous ambitions; he probably wants to create a kingdom for demons on the western lands.
Even so, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans were completely unaware, which shows how deep the Demon Ancestor Rahu's scheming was.
"I should also go and see what kind of secrets the Demon Ancestor Rahu is hiding!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.
After figuring out the current situation in the western lands, Jiang Heng took a step and arrived at an unnamed mountain range.
This nameless mountain range is unknown in the western lands. It is neither a blessed land nor a gathering place of spiritual veins, nor a dangerous forbidden area.
Who would have thought that such an ordinary mountain range would contain a hidden paradise, the lair of the Demon Ancestor Rahu?
At this moment, Demon Ancestor Rahu was raging in his lair, naturally because he had been defeated by Jiang Heng.
"Damn it! How could such a powerful being appear in the primordial world?" Demon Ancestor Rahu thought with a gloomy expression.
The Demon Ancestor Rahu was ambitious beyond measure, believing that he would inevitably become the ruler of the primordial world and transform the entire world into a kingdom of demons.
Over the years, while secretly controlling the western lands, Demon Ancestor Rahu has also gained some understanding of the top experts in the primordial world.
Apart from the three peak Quasi-Saints, Zu Long, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou knew all the other Quasi-Saint level powerhouses.
However, the mysterious powerful being encountered in Mount Sumeru was a being that Demon Ancestor Rahu had never heard of before.
A mysterious being that suddenly appeared possessed power surpassing that of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, naturally making the Demon Ancestor Rahu extremely wary.
"Damn it! This mysterious creature must be a great enemy of my rule over the primordial world. I must find a way to get rid of this mysterious powerhouse as soon as possible."
But that mysterious creature had clearly discovered the four evil swords, and it would be extremely difficult for me to seize them!
"It seems that I need to instigate a war between the three races as soon as possible. Only the blood essence of countless living beings can give me the chance to advance further!" Demon Ancestor Rahu thought to himself.
The Four Swords of Zhuxian had long been branded by the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, who even went so far as to collect endless essence blood in preparation for breaking Pangu's seal.
But now, a powerful and mysterious being has discovered the Four Swords of Zhuxian. How can the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou possibly have a chance to seize the Four Swords of Zhuxian?
Demon Ancestor Rahu knew that with his current strength, wanting to fight Jiang Heng again would be tantamount to courting death.
Demon Ancestor Rahu was naturally unwilling, but since he was temporarily unable to fight against Jiang Heng, he set his sights on the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans.
After reaching the peak Quasi-Saint level, Demon Ancestor Rahu painstakingly sought the method to become a Saint, and indeed he came up with a way to break through.
He instigated a war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races, secretly collected the essence and blood of the powerful members of the three races, and also collected the evil energy that was constantly gathering between heaven and earth.
When the time is right, Demon Ancestor Rahu will be able to achieve his goal by causing the death of countless lives, and step into the realm of sainthood in one fell swoop.
Jiang Heng had learned from Yuan Feng that the Demon Ancestor Rahu had eventually captured three peak Quasi-Saints: Yuan Feng, Zu Long, and Shi Qilin.
According to Yuan Feng, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was preparing to devour the three peak Quasi-Saints in order to break through the limits and achieve the Saint realm.
This aligns perfectly with the demonic path's selfish and harmful practices, and a great calamity is precisely the time when opportunities for sainthood are concentrated.
If Demon Ancestor Rahu succeeds, he will be able to take control of the Great Dao of Demons and become the first saint after the creation of the world.
Unfortunately, Demon Ancestor Rahu was unaware that while he was secretly plotting against the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was also quietly plotting against him.
Leaving aside these later developments, after being defeated by Jiang Heng, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou's desire for greater power intensified even more than before.
He didn't stay in his lair for long before Demon Ancestor Rahu broke through the void again and headed into the primordial world.
If nothing unexpected happens, Demon Ancestor Rahu will naturally go to sow discord among the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, and the outbreak of a war between the three clans is probably not far off.
Not long after Demon Ancestor Rahu left, a figure silently appeared in Demon Ancestor Rahu's lair.
The Demon Ancestor Rahu naturally attached great importance to his lair, making it almost impenetrable.
Even if we could find the lair of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, breaking into it would be an extremely difficult task.
Moreover, as soon as there is the slightest disturbance in his lair, Demon Ancestor Rahu will sense it immediately.
However, all the arrangements that Demon Ancestor Rahu thought he had made were completely useless in front of Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng not only broke into the lair of Demon Ancestor Rahu, but also did so without Rahu noticing anything unusual.
Just kidding! Jiang Heng's research on formations has already reached an extremely high level. The various arrangements made by Demon Ancestor Luo Hou seem sophisticated, but in reality, they are laughable.
For the time being, Jiang Heng did not want to kill Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. If Demon Ancestor Luo Hou died, there would be no one to provoke a war between the three races.
If the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans do not engage in a major war, why would Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who thinks he is the fisherman, jump out at the crucial moment?
Therefore, after the Demon Ancestor Rahu left his lair, Jiang Heng came in to investigate and see if he could find the secret of the Great Dao Demon God.
"On the surface, this is indeed an ordinary mountain range. But would the Demon Ancestor Rahu consider an ordinary mountain range his lair?"
Jiang Heng wandered around the lair of the Demon Ancestor Rahu. Apart from the numerous restrictions, there was nothing special about it.
But precisely because of this, everything seems extremely abnormal. If one really had to choose a base, Mount Sumeru, the ancestral vein of the western lands, would undoubtedly be a more suitable place.
After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Heng's eyes suddenly shone with a brilliant light as he thoroughly searched the lair of the Demon Ancestor Rahu.
"So this is where it is, it's really well hidden!" Jiang Heng murmured to himself with a smile.
At this moment, Jiang Heng's gaze was focused on an inconspicuous cave, where he sensed a strange aura.
The reason it was described as an inexplicable aura is that Jiang Heng did not notice anything unusual at first, but only sensed a trace of a seal by chance.
However, it seems that the Demon Ancestor Rahu has tampered with this place. This wisp of aura is very faint, and even with careful searching, it is difficult to detect.
But there is an extremely powerful seal on this inconspicuous cave, which is abnormal.
After observing carefully for a moment, Jiang Heng realized that this was not a seal set up by the Demon Ancestor Rahu, but a seal that naturally formed in the world.
Although this seal is very powerful, it is slightly damaged, indicating that it was destroyed before but was repaired by the power of heaven and earth.
What kind of existence requires the power of heaven and earth to seal it? There's no need to think too much; the answer is already quite obvious.
The seal on the cave was very powerful. Jiang Heng used all his strength but failed to break it even slightly. This shows that even the Demon Ancestor Rahu was unable to break the seal here.
After pondering for a long time, Jiang Heng had a sudden inspiration and quietly gathered the power of the Heavenly Dao. In the next instant, Jiang Heng stepped into the cave.
The cave was dark and deep, leading into the depths of the earth. Jiang Heng ventured deep inside, not knowing how long he had been walking.
Suddenly, the cave came to an end, revealing a vast space. And on the ground, countless tall figures lay silently.
Jiang Heng was familiar with these figures; they were the bodies of the Great Dao Demon Gods, each standing tens of thousands of feet tall.
On the bodies of these Great Dao Demon Gods were thin purple threads. One end of each thread was connected to the body of the Great Dao Demon God, while the other end pierced into the void.
Occasionally, a purple light would flash along the thin purple lines, extending from the body of the Great Dao Demon God into the boundless void.
"Legend has it that after the three thousand Great Dao Demon Gods were slain by the Great God Pangu, their bodies transformed into nourishment for the growth of the primordial world. I never imagined it was true!"
Looking at everything before him, Jiang Heng recalled the various legends about the time when the great god Pangu created the world, and gradually figured out the situation here.
Jiang Heng didn't actually know what those thin threads connecting the body of the Great Dao Demon God were.
But on these thin purple lines, Jiang Heng sensed a familiar aura, an aura belonging to the Heavenly Dao.
This was thanks to his transformation into Fuxi, during which, with the help of the Heavenly Emperor's destiny, Jiang Heng was able to glimpse the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao and gain some understanding of its power.
Otherwise, even if Jiang Heng encountered something as profound as the power of the Heavenly Dao, recognizing it would be an extremely difficult task.
These fine purple threads are rooted in the body of the Great Dao Demon God, and the occasional flashes of light must be the essence of the Great Dao Demon God.
The Three Thousand Great Dao Demon Gods were born from the chaos, inheriting the Three Thousand Great Daos, and it is not an exaggeration to call them the children of the Great Dao.
Each Great Dao Demon God is born with control over a Great Dao, which is the essence of the Great Dao Demon God and plays a vital role in the growth of a world.
With the addition of the Three Thousand Great Daos controlled by the Three Thousand Great Dao Demon Gods, the primordial world will gradually move towards perfection, without the slightest flaw.
This is precisely the process that the Way of Heaven must go through in order to function properly. The more perfect the Way of Heaven is, the more perfect the rules between Heaven and Earth become.
Therefore, the void that those thin purple lines lead to is undoubtedly the location of the Heavenly Dao, and it is the Heavenly Dao that is being conceived.
No wonder Jiang Heng was also unable to break the seal at the cave entrance. Only after gathering a trace of the power of the Heavenly Dao was he able to enter successfully.
Because the seal here was originally set up by the Heavenly Dao, a kind of protection for the Heavenly Dao that was still in its gestation stage.
"Could it be that the Heavenly Dao, in its nascent stage, was discovered here by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, which ultimately led him to choose to merge with the Dao?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Heng could no longer suppress the excitement deep in his heart; a tremendous opportunity was right before his eyes.
