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

Chapter 168 The Unfathomable Dao Ancestor Hongjun! (A long chapter of 10,000 words)

After years of planning and scheming, the entire western land has been transformed into a single, unified entity by the Demon Ancestor Rahu, becoming the kingdom of demons.

At this moment, Demon Ancestor Rahu was preparing for his final transformation in the Western Land he had created, aiming to reach the realm of a saint.

After years of planning, they secretly instigated a war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, ultimately succeeding in leaving all three clans severely weakened.

During this process, Demon Ancestor Rahu not only collected the essence and blood of countless powerful beings, but also suppressed three top-tier powerhouses—Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and First Qilin—in one fell swoop.

In the western lands he had cultivated for many years, the Demon Ancestor Rahu had successfully set up a massive array.

Within the formation, endless essence blood converged into a long river, within which the three powerful beings, Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Primordial Qilin, had been completely suppressed.

"Today, I, Rahu, will use the boundless essence and blood of three peak Quasi-Saints to step into a higher realm in one fell swoop!" Demon Ancestor Rahu said triumphantly.

After years of painstaking planning, the moment of harvest has finally arrived, and even the Demon Ancestor Rahu is filled with excitement.

But before Demon Ancestor Rahu could activate the great formation, four powerful auras soared into the sky, and soon four figures appeared in front of Demon Ancestor Rahu.

"Rahu, for your own selfish reasons, you have committed such a heinous crime of murder. Today will be your death day!" an old Taoist priest said in a deep voice.

"Hongjun, Qiankun, Yinyang, Yangmei, you actually dare to stop being cowards and stop me?"

"You bunch of trash? Hmph! Today I'll devour you all together and help me reach the highest realm in one fell swoop!" Demon Ancestor Rahu said disdainfully.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu, who had been plotting in the primordial world for many years, was actually quite familiar with these four powerful figures before him.

The four figures before us are the four most powerful Quasi-Saints in the primordial world: Hongjun, Qiankun Ancestor, Yin Yang Ancestor, and Yangmei Immortal.

Although these four powerful figures are not well-known in the prehistoric world, they are indeed peak quasi-saints, and each of them still possesses supreme treasures.

In terms of strength alone, these four powerful figures are even above the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the Primordial Qilin, and are all among the strongest figures standing at the pinnacle of the current prehistoric world.

In the past, Demon Ancestor Rahu would naturally have been extremely wary of these four powerful figures. But now, the situation has completely reversed.

Even when Hongjun and the other three powerful figures joined forces, Demon Ancestor Rahu was not afraid at all, and even wanted to devour Hongjun and the other three powerful figures together.

"Luo Hou, you are too arrogant. If we join forces, who in the primordial world can defeat us?" Qiankun Ancestor said confidently.

"That's right. Luo Hou, you instigated the war between the three races, causing countless lives to perish. Did you ever think about today?" the Yin Yang Ancestor said in a deep voice.

"There's no need for you all to waste any more words on this demon. Killing him would be doing justice for Heaven!" said the Great Immortal Yangmei in a deep voice.

"Hahaha! A bunch of arrogant fools! Today I'll show you that in my eyes you're nothing but ants!" Demon Ancestor Rahu said disdainfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, Demon Ancestor Rahu raised his hand and pointed, and four flying swords silently appeared. In an instant, endless baleful energy erupted.

Moreover, the malevolent energy that had become incredibly dense due to the great calamity was also converging on this place.

With the appearance of the four flying immortals, a great formation instantly appeared, enveloping Hongjun and the other three powerful figures.

"During the Great Tribulation, the power of the Four Swords of Zhuxian was indeed extraordinary!" Jiang Heng, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but think to himself.

The Four Swords of Zhuxian are inherently treasures of slaughter, possessing the ability to gather malevolent energy. And the Great Tribulation is precisely the time when malevolent energy is most concentrated.

The extremely dense baleful aura greatly enhanced the power of the Four Swords of Zhuxian. Therefore, the moment the Great Calamity erupted was also the moment when the Four Swords of Zhuxian were at their most powerful.

This is why Demon Ancestor Rahu doesn't take Hongjun and the other four powerful figures seriously. With the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation in hand, Demon Ancestor Rahu is no longer what he used to be.

The four powerful figures, including Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had fallen into the Zhuxian Sword Formation, were instantly shocked. With their strength, it was not difficult for them to see the power of the Four Zhuxian Swords.

It is no exaggeration to say that once the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is unleashed, its power has already surpassed the limits of a peak Quasi-Saint, reaching an unimaginable level.

If a peak Quasi-Saint of the level of Zu Long or Yuan Feng were to fall into the Zhuxian Sword Formation, he would die instantly.

Fortunately, at this time, the Demon Ancestor Rahu had not yet truly become a saint. Although the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was strong, it was still far from its true peak.

Only in the hands of a true sage can the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation truly be the number one killing formation in the primordial world, and the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords be the ultimate treasures of slaughter.

In the hands of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, the Four Swords of Zhuxian, though still powerful, could by no means be described as "invincible."

Moreover, since Hongjun, Qiankun Laozu, Yin Yang Laozu, and Yangmei Daxian dared to come, they must have some confidence.

After falling into the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, I felt the terrifying baleful aura and the killing power that seemed to shatter the entire world.

The four top experts were shocked by the power witnessed by the Immortal Executioner. Their expressions changed slightly, and they each took out their trump cards.

Hongjun held a jade disc in his hand, with a cloud of auspiciousness above his head. Countless golden lanterns, golden lotuses, necklaces, and dangling beads fell from the cloud of auspiciousness.

"The auspicious clouds of the heavens and the Jade Tablet of Creation—Dao Ancestor Hongjun is indeed extraordinary!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.

At this moment, the two magical treasures manifested by Dao Ancestor Hongjun were extraordinary, each one being a supreme treasure in the primordial world.

The auspicious clouds of the heavens are formed from the righteous energy in the heart of the great god Pangu. They are neither innate nor acquired, but they are a supreme protective treasure.

Once the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds are unleashed, all evil will be warded off, all magic will be immune, it will disregard attacks from any magical treasures, and it will be immune to damage from all supernatural powers and spells.

Within the auspicious clouds, the primordial world is faintly visible, illuminated by the sun, moon, and stars. Within the auspicious clouds, five-colored rays of light illuminate the heavens, and celestial music of eight tones resounds throughout the universe.

Beyond the auspicious clouds, just as Jiang Heng saw at this moment, countless golden lanterns, golden lotuses, necklaces, and hanging beads fell from the clouds, like water dripping from the eaves, endlessly and continuously.

Even the four swords of Zhuxian, supreme weapons of slaughter, could not sever the auspicious clouds of the heavens, thus failing to harm Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the slightest.

It can be said that with the protection of the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds, even within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was already invincible.

The Jade Disc of Creation is an unimaginable treasure, and at this moment, the Jade Disc of Creation in the hands of Dao Ancestor Hongjun is no longer in its complete state.

In its complete state, the Jade Disc of Creation is a Chaos Treasure that surpasses the level of innate treasures, and is on the same level as the Pangu Axe that created the world.

Legend has it that the Jade Disc of Creation was also born from chaos, and it contains the supreme mysteries of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Obtaining the Jade Disc of Creation is equivalent to gaining the opportunity to control the Three Thousand Great Daos. This treasure played a crucial role in Hongjun's becoming the Dao Ancestor.

However, the Creation Jade Disc was somewhat damaged due to the creation of the world by the great god Pangu, and it was no longer a perfect treasure of chaos.

Even so, the mere fact that the Creation Jade Disc records the mysteries of the Three Thousand Great Daos makes it an unimaginable treasure.

Above the head of the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth, a treasure cauldron appeared, radiating endless divine light, and a powerful aura permeated the heavens and earth.

This magical artifact is none other than the renowned Qiankun Cauldron. Although it is not a supreme innate treasure, it possesses the ability to reverse one's innate state, making it infinitely versatile.

A golden bridge appeared above the head of the Yin-Yang Ancestor, and the Yin and Yang yin and yang manifested. This was the renowned innate treasure, the Taiji Diagram.

The power of the Tai Chi diagram goes without saying. With the Tai Chi diagram protecting him, even the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation could hardly harm the Yin Yang Ancestor.

As for the Great Immortal Yangmei, a simple and ancient banner appeared in his hand, which was none other than the innate treasure, the Pangu Banner.

Although the Pangu Banner has no protective power, this treasure is infinitely powerful, and its killing power is in no way inferior to the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

The four top experts quickly discerned some of the mysteries of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and began to occupy different areas, each heading towards one of the four Immortal Slaughtering Swords.

The four swords of Zhuxian are Zhuxian Sword, Luxian Sword, Xianxian Sword, and Juexian Sword, which are suspended in the Zhuxian Sword Formation in the four directions of east, south, west, and north.

Hongjun went straight for the Zhuxian Sword, Qiankun Ancestor went straight for the Luxian Sword, Yinyang Ancestor went straight for the Xianxian Sword, and Yangmei Immortal went straight for the Juexian Sword.

Each of the four top experts would deal with one sword. If they could simultaneously remove one sword, they could break the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

The fact that they could spot the flaws in the Zhuxian Sword Formation in such a short time is enough to demonstrate the extraordinary abilities of Hongjun and the other three powerful figures.

But how could Demon Ancestor Rahu allow the four top experts, including Hongjun, to break the formation? He still possessed other supreme treasures.

Even Jiang Heng had to admire the power of the God-Slaying Spear. Furthermore, in the hands of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, there was also the Black Lotus of Annihilation, one of the four innate lotus platforms.

The four innate lotus platforms are all top-grade innate spiritual treasures, each with considerable power, making them first-class defensive treasures.

Under the pressure of a supreme expert like Demon Ancestor Rahu, removing the Four Swords of Zhuxian would undoubtedly be an extremely difficult task.

From this point on, one can see the relative strengths of the four top experts: Hongjun, Qiankun Ancestor, Yin Yang Ancestor, and Yangmei Immortal.

Hongjun stood firm amidst the auspicious clouds above his head, unmoved even under the onslaught of the God-Slaying Spear, steadily approaching the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

With the Qiankun Cauldron atop his head, the Ancestor of Qiankun was barely able to defend himself against the attacks of the God-Slaying Spear, and his defeat was probably only a matter of time.

The Yin-Yang Ancestor was slightly better off because he had the Taiji Diagram protecting him, but he was still forced by the Demon Ancestor Rahu to barely protect himself.

Yang Mei Daxian's strength was second only to Hongjun. Even when he used the offensive power of the Pangu Banner to fight against the God-Slaying Spear, he was only slightly at a disadvantage.

However, given the current situation, attempting to remove all four swords of the Immortal Execution Sword simultaneously is nothing short of a pipe dream.

If one lingers too long within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the boundless malevolent energy will condense, and even with the protection of a supreme treasure, one will find it difficult to escape certain death.

"Gentlemen, do not hold back! Quickly remove those four swords. Otherwise, we will all face certain death!" Hongjun said in a deep voice.

The other three top experts all knew the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, so they dared not hold back any longer and all went all out to charge towards the four swords of Immortal Slaughtering.

This inevitably came at a heavy price. Apart from Hongjun, the other three top experts were all injured.

Having finally arrived before the Four Swords of Zhuxian, Hongjun and the other three top experts were about to face the even more terrifying Four Swords of Zhuxian.

"Slaying immortals brings profit, killing immortals brings death, trapping immortals brings red light everywhere. The transformations of the immortals are infinitely wondrous, and even the great immortals are stained with blood."

"The Four Swords of Zhuxian are indeed worthy of their reputation. What a pity! What a pity!" Jiang Heng thought to himself as he watched the changes in the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

What Jiang Heng was talking about was precisely the profound mystery of each of the four swords of Zhuxian. Although the four swords of Zhuxian are one, each sword has its own unique uses.

The Zhuxian Sword is the foremost of the four Zhuxian Swords, representing "profit". This sword is hung above the Zhuxian Gate, directly east of the Zhuxian Formation.

Once the Immortal Execution Sword is unleashed, it is virtually indestructible and impossible to withstand. If Hongjun were protected by the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds, he would be utterly unable to resist it.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword represents "death," and its intense killing intent surpasses even the innate killing path of the Styx Master.

This sword hangs above the Immortal Slaughtering Gate, directly west of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation. Its boundless killing intent manifests, preventing the Qiankun Ancestor from getting even a fraction of a step closer.

The Immortal-Trapping Sword represents "trapping". When it glows red, it manifests endless sword energy. Once trapped inside, escaping is virtually impossible.

This sword hangs above the Immortal-Trapping Gate, directly south of the Immortal-Slaying Formation. The Yin-Yang Ancestor is already trapped inside and can only barely defend himself by relying on the Taiji Diagram.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword represents "absolute" and has endless variations. This sword hangs above the Immortal-Slaying Gate, which is directly north of the Immortal-Slaying Formation.

Yang Mei, the Great Immortal, held the Pangu Banner and was constantly entangled with the Juexian Sword. Taking off the Juexian Sword would not be something that could be done in a short time.

Unfortunately, the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was still too weak to fully unleash the full power of the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

Otherwise, combined with the dense baleful energy in the primordial world, the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation would surely reach an unbelievable level.

However, it is likely that during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, Jiang Heng should have been able to witness the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation at its peak power.

As time went on, Demon Ancestor Rahu seized an opportunity to launch surprise attacks on Qiankun Ancestor and Yin Yang Ancestor, severely injuring both of these powerful figures.

Subsequently, Demon Ancestor Rahu used the same method to ambush Immortal Yangmei, severely injuring him as well.

By this time, three of the four top experts were seriously injured. Demon Ancestor Rahu believed that the situation was under control and became complacent.

But Demon Ancestor Rahu never expected that when Qiankun Ancestor and Yinyang Ancestor knew they were about to be defeated, they would choose to self-destruct.

The self-destruction of the two peak quasi-saints caught everyone off guard, and even the Demon Ancestor Rahu was seriously injured as a result.

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun, what a clever scheme!" Jiang Heng smiled slightly, his face full of disdain.

Jiang Heng could easily see that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was still holding back his strength. Even when the other three top experts were seriously injured, Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not make a move.

Why did Dao Ancestor Hongjun hide his strength? This can actually be seen from the self-destruction of Qiankun Ancestor and Yin Yang Ancestor.

Demon Ancestor Rahu thought he had victory in his grasp, but little did he know that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was the most hidden powerhouse and the true fisherman.

Taking advantage of the fact that Demon Ancestor Rahu was seriously injured, Dao Ancestor Hongjun directly manifested his three corpses and first seized the two supreme treasures, the Qiankun Cauldron and the Taiji Diagram.

Subsequently, the auspicious clouds above Dao Ancestor Hongjun's head instantly froze the Zhuxian Sword, while the other three corpses headed straight for the other three swords.

The benevolent corpse offered up the Qiankun Cauldron to suppress the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Sect, the malevolent corpse offered up the Taiji Diagram to suppress the Immortal Trapping Sword Sect, and the corpse that held up the Creation Jade Tablet to suppress the Immortal Absolute Sword Sect.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu was already severely injured and had no way to spare any attention, so the Dao Ancestor Hongjun took the opportunity to remove the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

With the four swords of Zhuxian removed, the Zhuxian Sword Formation naturally broke. At this point, the situation was completely reversed once again.

At this moment, only three top experts remained. Apart from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who was at his peak, Yang Mei Daxian and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou were both seriously injured.

It's debatable whether the Demon Ancestor Rahu in his prime could be a match for Dao Ancestor Hongjun, let alone the Demon Ancestor Rahu who was already severely injured.

Moreover, having lost the Four Swords of Zhuxian, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou's strength was already greatly reduced, making it utterly wishful thinking for him to defeat Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"I never expected this! I never expected that you were the one who had been hiding the truth the most!" Demon Ancestor Rahu stared fiercely at Dao Ancestor Hongjun and said in a deep voice.

"The victor is king, the loser is villain. You have lost this battle!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun said expressionlessly, looking down at him.

"Hahaha! You think you've won? You're seriously underestimating me, Luo Hou! Blood Sacrifice Formation! Activate!"

Suddenly, Demon Ancestor Rahu roared, and endless demonic energy surged from his body, quietly activating the great formation he had set up in advance.

Blood-red light shot into the sky, and endless essence blood, radiating a powerful aura, began to converge into the body of Demon Ancestor Rahu.

At the same time, the essence blood of the three top experts, Zu Long, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin, was also drawn by the great formation and converged towards the Demon Ancestor.

As this essence blood flowed into the body of Demon Ancestor Rahu, his originally weak aura miraculously and rapidly grew stronger.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu's injuries are healing at an incredible speed, and not only that, his aura is also constantly rising.

"The Demon Ancestor Rahu is really prepared to fight to the death! However, the chances of turning defeat into victory are far too slim."

"However, this is also good. Perhaps we can test the depths of Dao Ancestor Hongjun!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.

Originally, the Demon Ancestor Rahu set up a grand formation in the western lands in preparation for devouring endless essence and blood, thereby stepping into the realm of sainthood in one fell swoop.

Now that the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation has been broken and Dao Ancestor Hongjun is pressing him aggressively, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou has chosen to fight to the death.

Demon Ancestor Rahu directly activated the Blood Sacrifice Array, devouring endless essence blood to undergo a transformation, thus stepping into the realm of a saint in one fell swoop.

Once he could reach the realm of a saint, Demon Ancestor Rahu would be able to instantly reverse the situation, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun would become nothing more than an ant in his eyes.

However, in Jiang Heng's view, if Demon Ancestor Rahu had no other trump cards, the possibility of him succeeding in one fell swoop was actually extremely slim.

First of all, attempting to reach the realm of sainthood through blood sacrifice is not the righteous path. Therefore, success is naturally extremely difficult.

It was only because Rahu was born into the demonic path that the blood sacrifice method perfectly aligned with the Demon Ancestor Rahu's own path, thus making success possible.

But only a fully-fledged Demon Ancestor Rahu would have a chance of success. A heavily injured Demon Ancestor Rahu, how could he possibly dream of breaking through?

Even if Dao Ancestor Hongjun didn't intervene, the chance of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou stepping into the Saint Realm would be no more than one in ten thousand, and even lower.

Moreover, how could Dao Ancestor Hongjun just stand by and watch Demon Ancestor Luo Hou break through? Dao Ancestor Hongjun is the real fisherman!

"Luo Hou, I should thank you. Only after you activated the great formation could I take the final step with your help!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun said with a smile.

"What? You want to use me to take the final step? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Demon Ancestor Rahu's expression changed drastically as he roared.

At this moment, Demon Ancestor Rahu understood perfectly well that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had been waiting for this moment all along, just waiting for him to activate the Blood Sacrifice Array.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's goal was naturally to become the biggest winner, and after killing Demon Ancestor Luohou, he would use the Blood Sacrifice Array to step into the realm of a Saint.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not cultivate the demonic path. If he were to kill a large number of living beings without cause, he would inevitably be burdened with endless karma.

In this situation, to even think of becoming a saint is nothing short of a pipe dream. But if the one who slaughters living beings to collect their essence and blood is the Demon Ancestor Rahu, then there's no problem.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu slaughtered countless living beings, which was in accordance with his own Dao, but to the entire primordial world, the Demon Ancestor was the greatest evil.

Slaying demons naturally brings immeasurable merit and gathers boundless fortune. Combined with the blood sacrifice array, it is not difficult for Dao Ancestor Hongjun to become a saint.

This was the scheme of Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Whether it was the three races of dragon, phoenix, and qilin, or Demon Ancestor Hongjun, or even the three top powerhouses such as Qiankun Ancestor, they were all within his calculations.

"To see the whole picture from a glimpse, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun truly lives up to his reputation!" Jiang Heng thought with great admiration.

From the various schemes of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, one can see that the depth of this future teacher of all saints' minds has reached an unimaginable level.

In the future, after Dao Ancestor Hongjun merged with the Dao, he rarely manifested in the prehistoric world, but this does not mean that Dao Ancestor Hongjun ignored the prehistoric world.

Whether it's the future attainment of the Six Sages, or the Lich War and the Investiture of the Gods, Dao Ancestor Hongjun occupies a pivotal position.

It can be said that after Dao Ancestor Hongjun became a saint, the entire prehistoric world was firmly in the hands of this unfathomable powerhouse.

The thought of facing Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the future made even Jiang Heng feel a sense of apprehension.

"Hongjun! I never imagined your schemes were so profound. We were all caught in your trap. I truly underestimated you!"

"But if you think you can use us as a foundation to reach that supreme realm, don't even think about it!" Demon Ancestor Rahu roared.

Demon Ancestor Rahu raised his hand and pointed, and endless essence blood burst forth from his body, but it did not go towards Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The endless essence of blood formed a long river, heading towards a hidden cave, the very cave that Jiang Heng had entered before.

"The obsession of the Great Dao Demon God has merged into my body, helping me to step into the highest realm!" Demon Ancestor Rahu roared.

This is the true trump card of Demon Ancestor Rahu. Simply devouring endless essence blood and three peak quasi-saints would not have made his breakthrough very likely.

However, if one adds the obsession of the Great Dao Demon God and uses the Great Dao Demon God's original power as a foundation, the possibility of breaking through will greatly increase.

However, after Demon Ancestor Rahu roared, he found that there was no movement in the cave, and the Great Dao Demon God obsession he had been longing for had not appeared at all.

"In that case, I have completely shattered the Demon Ancestor Rahu's hope of becoming a saint!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu was born from the body and obsession of the Great Dao Demon God, and can be said to share the same origin as the Great Dao Demon God.

Merging with the obsession of the Great Dao Demon God is not a difficult task; on the contrary, it will become the strongest aid for Demon Ancestor Rahu to step into the realm of sainthood.

However, that cave contained a seal formed by the power of the Heavenly Dao. When Demon Ancestor Rahu emerged from it, it was the final counterattack of the Great Dao Demon God.

To completely break the Heavenly Dao seal and merge with the obsession of the Great Dao Demon God, the only way is to use boundless essence and blood to attack the Heavenly Dao seal, just like now.

This is actually the same principle as breaking a seal, which is why Demon Ancestor Rahu was so confident and believed that he could definitely step into the Holy Realm.

Under normal circumstances, even if the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who was the most hidden, wanted to stop the Demon Ancestor Luohou from entering the realm of sainthood, it would probably be impossible.

At that time, it will not be difficult for Demon Ancestor Rahu, who has reached the realm of sainthood, to kill Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

However, the space where the Great Dao Demon God's body and obsession existed had already been seized by Jiang Heng, so the Demon Ancestor Rahu could no longer find any trace of it.

In this way, if he relied solely on the Blood Sacrifice Array, Demon Ancestor Rahu would have completely lost any hope of reaching the realm of a saint.

When Dao Ancestor Hongjun saw the Demon Ancestor Rahu's actions, he was initially taken aback and tried to stop him, but it was too late.

Just as Dao Ancestor Hongjun was observing the situation and pondering countermeasures, he found that nothing had happened, which made him somewhat hesitant.

Just as Dao Ancestor Hongjun hesitated, he discovered that the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, who had been so aggressive just moments before, turned around and fled without saying a word.

Yes! Demon Ancestor Rahu abandoned the blood sacrifice formation and turned to flee! This also means that Demon Ancestor Rahu has completely given up hope of becoming a saint.

At this moment, Demon Ancestor Rahu was naturally filled with resentment. But no matter how resentful he was, Demon Ancestor Rahu knew that if he didn't leave, he would probably perish soon.

But how could Dao Ancestor Hongjun allow Demon Ancestor Rahu to escape? After a chase, Demon Ancestor Rahu was still killed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The Dragon-Han Calamity has come to an end, with the most hidden Dao Ancestor Hongjun emerging victorious.

In this battle, Demon Ancestor Rahu, Qiankun Ancestor, and Yin Yang Ancestor all died, leaving only the heavily injured Yangmei Immortal, who was naturally not a threat.

Next, Jiang Heng witnessed the ruthlessness of Dao Ancestor Hongjun. After returning to the Blood Sacrifice Array, Dao Ancestor Hongjun immediately attacked Yang Mei Daxian.

However, this time, Dao Ancestor Hongjun miscalculated. Although Yangmei Daxian was not as well-hidden as Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he was still a man of deep thought and had long ago prepared a contingency plan.

Despite appearing to be severely injured, Yang Mei Daxian's understanding of the Great Dao of Space has actually reached an extremely profound level.

In the end, Yangmei Daxian, relying on his powerful spatial Dao, escaped the primordial world at the cost of leaving behind the Pangu Banner.

At this point, apart from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, only the Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin remained as the peak Quasi-Saints in the primordial world.

These three peak Quasi-Saints were already extremely weak and had fallen into a deep sleep after their essence and blood were extracted by the Blood Sacrifice Array.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun walked into the Blood Sacrifice Formation with great pride. At this moment, after killing Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, he had accumulated immeasurable merit and fortune.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun had already sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough. Even without the Blood Sacrifice Array, he believed that he would eventually take that crucial step.

However, with the help of the Blood Sacrifice Array, Dao Ancestor Hongjun will not only be able to save a lot of time, but may even be able to make further progress.

Just then, a round of applause rang out not far away. Dao Ancestor Hongjun was secretly startled and saw a figure walking towards him.

"What a magnificent spectacle! Your elaborate schemes are truly admirable!"

The visitor was naturally Jiang Heng. As Dao Ancestor Hongjun was about to attain enlightenment, Jiang Heng prepared to personally meet this future ruler of the prehistoric world.

"Who are you? I never expected that there would be a being hiding until this moment!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun said in a gloomy voice.

Just when they thought they had succeeded, another powerful figure, just like Dao Ancestor Hongjun, suddenly appeared.

Given this situation, how could Dao Ancestor Hongjun not be wary? He had to consider just what kind of existence this powerful figure before him truly was.

The Jiang Heng who appeared at this moment was not his true form. Since he would have to confront Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the future, Jiang Heng had no choice but to temporarily conceal his true appearance.

With Jiang Heng's understanding of the Great Dao of Life, coupled with his saintly realm and ability to change his appearance, even Dao Ancestor Hongjun could not see through him.

"Who I am is not important. I just want to see what abilities the chosen beings of this great calamity possess!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

"A great calamity? A life destined by Heaven?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun looked puzzled, having no idea what Jiang Heng was talking about.

The Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had not yet become a saint, naturally did not know what the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth was, nor did he know that every Great Tribulation was the opportunity to become a saint.

However, from Jiang Heng's unfathomable words, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had already discerned an unusual meaning.

Clearly, this mysterious expert knew more than he did, and that knowledge likely involved the true secrets of the primordial world.

"You've gotten this far because of your scheming and manipulation of all the powerful!"

But to have reached this point is also due to destiny. To put it bluntly, you are the chosen one of this great eon!

"By the way, the so-called Great Calamity refers to a great war that sweeps across the entire world. The great war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans was a Great Calamity!" Jiang Heng said.

"So that's how it is! Under the condensation of malevolent energy, an unprecedented battle erupted. This is the Great Tribulation!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun murmured to himself.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was indeed extraordinary. Jiang Heng only said a few words, but Dao Ancestor Hongjun had already understood many things.

"Indeed! With the gathering of malevolent energy, a great calamity erupts, causing countless lives to perish, but the opportunity to become a saint will also arise!" Jiang Heng said.

"Becoming a saint? You know about the realm of saints?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun asked in surprise.

Because of the supreme treasure, the Jade Disc of Creation, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was able to glimpse the secrets of the Saint Realm, a fact that even Demon Ancestor Rahu was unaware of.

But now, this mysterious expert before them has revealed such a secret in a single sentence, how could Dao Ancestor Hongjun not be shocked?

"I know far more than you can imagine. You are a being destined to become a saint in this great eon, born with boundless fortune."

"With the convergence of fortune and your various schemes, it's no wonder you'll have the last laugh!" Jiang Heng said.

"Since you know I am destined to become a saint, what is the purpose of your appearance at this time?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun asked in a deep voice.

"Whether we succeed or not, we should at least give it a try!" Jiang Heng said with a strange smile on his face.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was eager to know what this mysterious powerhouse wanted to try, but Jiang Heng gave Dao Ancestor Hongjun no longer the chance to ask.

With a raised fist, his physical strength erupted, condensing into an incomparably terrifying power that instantly shattered the void and struck towards Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun sensed the terrifying power contained in Jiang Heng's punch and couldn't help but change his expression slightly. Immediately, the auspicious clouds of the heavens descended with five-colored rays of light.

"Boom!"

An incredibly terrifying punch struck the Heavenly Clouds, causing thousands of lotus flowers to appear and isolate the terrifying power from the outside. Dao Ancestor Hongjun remained unmoved.

"The Heavenly Auspicious Clouds are indeed a supreme defensive treasure!" Jiang Heng exclaimed.

The defensive power of the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds is extremely strong. In the battle just now, even the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation could not break through it in the slightest.

Jiang Heng was empty-handed at this moment, and his punch just now was not at full strength, so naturally he could not break through the Zhutian Qingyun.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun snorted coldly, raised his hand and pointed. A purple light appeared in the Creation Jade Disc and attacked Jiang Heng.

The purple light twisted in the void, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a long sword with a sharp, cold gleam, condensing a rich aura of Geng metal.

The Jade Disc of Creation contains the profound mysteries of the Three Thousand Great Daos. At this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun used the power of the Jade Disc of Creation to condense the power of the Great Dao of Gold.

This wasn't the end. The purple light manifested not only from the Jade Disc of Creation, but also transformed into flames, streams of water, and poisonous miasma.

The power of countless Great Daos emerged, a method far more powerful than when Dao Ancestor Hongjun killed Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was indeed a man of profound thoughts! Even when he killed Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, he did not reveal his full strength.

However, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was extremely wary of this mysterious powerhouse before him and had no choice but to unleash his strongest power.

Jiang Heng's expression was also somewhat solemn at this moment. The manifestation of the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos was indeed an extraordinary method, and Jiang Heng could not take it lightly.

However, this was still the Dao Ancestor Hongjun before he became a saint, and he was unable to unleash the true power of the Creation Jade Disc. The three thousand Great Daos he manifested were not powerful enough.

Once Dao Ancestor Hongjun becomes a saint, when the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos manifests, even a fellow saint would likely find it difficult to confront him head-on.

Moreover, the future Dao Ancestor Hongjun will not only become a saint. No one knows what realm he will reach after merging with the Dao.

At this moment, a murderous intent suddenly flashed in Jiang Heng's eyes. Compared to the future, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was undoubtedly at his weakest at this time.

He had not yet become a saint, much less merged with the Dao. At this time, even though Dao Ancestor Hongjun possessed a supreme treasure like the Jade Disc of Creation, he was only a peak Quasi-Saint.

If one wishes to kill Dao Ancestor Hongjun, this is undoubtedly the best time. As for whether one can actually kill Dao Ancestor Hongjun, one must try.

Given the infinite changes in time and space, it is not impossible that Dao Ancestor Hongjun might perish at this moment; it all depends on whether Jiang Heng's strength is powerful enough.

If one is powerful enough, it wouldn't be a problem to kill Dao Ancestor Hongjun, break through the river of time, or completely change the course of the future.

With this in mind, Jiang Heng made up his mind. He would do everything in his power to kill Dao Ancestor Hongjun at this moment.

Without holding back in the slightest, Jiang Heng took a step forward, his saintly realm solidified, and an unimaginably powerful aura erupted.

"Give me a gun!"

Jiang Heng roared, and the God-Slaying Spear, which had been temporarily suppressed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, seemed to be summoned and broke through the air, and was grasped by Jiang Heng.

The reason Jiang Heng was able to pinpoint the location of Demon Ancestor Rahu during the battle was because of the technique left on the God-Slaying Spear.

It's quite simple. This is just one of the Nine Secrets, the "Soldier Secret," which allows one to manipulate all magical treasures and weapons.

With Jiang Heng's current Saintly realm, it wouldn't be difficult for him to secretly take control of the God-Slaying Spear without the Demon Ancestor Rahu's knowledge.

Now that Demon Ancestor Rahu is dead and Dao Ancestor Hongjun has not had time to refine the God-Slaying Spear, this magic weapon has naturally fallen into the hands of Jiang Heng.

The reason for choosing the God-Slaying Spear instead of other magical weapons is precisely because of its powerful offensive capabilities.

Only when this spear is in Jiang Heng's hands and unleashes its full power can it possibly break through the Heavenly Celebration Clouds of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

As expected! After the God-Slaying Spear fell into Jiang Heng's hands, endless baleful energy gathered, and the terrifying killing intent shook the entire prehistoric world.

Jiang Heng gathered all his strength and thrust out with his spear. Endless killing intent and malevolent energy were concentrated in this spear, and the void shattered instantly.

"How is this possible! That God-Slaying Spear just now could unleash its full power?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun's expression changed again, and he said in shock.

From the perspective of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Jiang Heng had just seized the God-Slaying Spear, and when he thrust it out, the power of the God-Slaying Spear was fully unleashed.

This is simply impossible. Not to mention that the God-Slaying Spear was originally the magic weapon of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, how could Jiang Heng refine it immediately after just getting his hands on it?

Furthermore, in the eyes of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, although Jiang Heng's strength was incredibly terrifying, he was still at the level of Quasi-Saint and had not yet become a Saint.

Without attaining sainthood, one cannot unleash the full power of a primordial treasure. The same applies to Dao Ancestor Hongjun; he too could not unleash the full power of the Creation Jade Disc.

But now, in Jiang Heng's hands, the God-Slaying Spear seems to have been completely revived, its power so great that it can shake the entire prehistoric world.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun could never have imagined that Jiang Heng, relying on the "Secret of the Art of War," had actually taken control of the God-Slaying Spear long ago.

On the surface, the owner of the God-Slaying Spear is the Demon Ancestor Rahu, but in fact, Jiang Heng is the true owner of the God-Slaying Spear.

While Jiang Heng's cultivation level appears to be only at the peak of Quasi-Saint, his true realm has already reached the Saint realm.

With the Saintly Realm and the "Secret of the Soldier" technique, one can unleash the full power of the innate supreme treasure, the God-Slaying Spear.

When a supreme innate treasure is fully restored, the power it unleashes is as if a saint has personally descended, naturally terrifying beyond measure.

With a single shot, even the supreme defensive treasure, the Zhutian Qingyun, could not withstand it, and countless golden lamps, golden lotuses, necklaces, and hanging beads all vanished.

At this point, the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds could no longer protect Dao Ancestor Hongjun even slightly, and the God-Slaying Spear, under Jiang Heng's control, headed straight for him.

If he were to be killed by a weapon like the God-Slaying Spear, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would have absolutely no chance of survival and would immediately perish.

But it was at this moment that the Creation Jade Disc in the hand of Dao Ancestor Hongjun suddenly shone with a brilliant purple light.
