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

Chapter 173 The Human Emperor is so powerful? (A long chapter of 10,000 words)

The powerful figures of Heaven rushed to Xiqi to tell Lu Ya what had happened in Heaven and urge him to return to Heaven as soon as possible.

Clearly, at this moment, the Jade Emperor Haotian felt a great threat from Yang Jian and had no choice but to send Lu Ya back to the Heavenly Court.

Although Lu Ya was also defeated by Yang Jian, he was still a peak Quasi-Saint level expert, which was rare in the entire prehistoric world.

When Lu Ya returned, the Heavenly Court had three peak Quasi-Saint level experts, which was already an extremely terrifying force.

The Jade Emperor Haotian truly refused to believe that with the combined power of three peak Quasi-Saints, they couldn't suppress this bastard Yang Jian.

Yang Jian could not hide the Jade Emperor Haotian's thoughts from him, which is why Yang Jian's attack became even more ferocious.

Yang Jian's goal was very simple: to kill the Jade Emperor Haotian before Lu Ya could return.

Once the Jade Emperor Haotian dies, the entire Heavenly Court will be leaderless and will immediately fall apart, allowing Yang Jian to avenge his great grudge.

However, Yang Jian is now facing two peak quasi-saints, the Jade Emperor Haotian and the Queen Mother of the West, each possessing supreme treasures.

Moreover, within the Heavenly Court, both the Jade Emperor Haotian and the Queen Mother of the West are empowered by the Heavenly Court's power, and their strength has already surpassed the level of peak Quasi-Saints.

Although Yang Jian had suppressed the Jade Emperor Haotian and the Queen Mother of the West on his own, killing them was not something that could be done in a short time.

"What? Yang Jian has actually attacked the Heavenly Court again? The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are already in grave danger?" Lu Ya said with an extremely gloomy expression.

At this moment, all the powerful figures of Xiqi were watching the battle. A battle at the Saint level was beyond their ability to participate in.

But after seeing the four saints descend at the same time, Lu Ya thought that the overall situation was settled and that in the end, Xiqi had won this epic battle.

Who would have thought that while a battle of saint-level beings was taking place here, something happened in the Heavenly Court, and Yang Jian actually charged into the Heavenly Court alone at such a critical moment.

Although Lu Ya had his own ulterior motives, he also knew what the Heavenly Court would become once the Jade Emperor Haotian was killed by Yang Jian.

At this time, the Heavenly Court had not yet truly prospered. Even if Lu Ya had great ambitions, he knew that at this moment, the Jade Emperor Haotian could not die.

"This is a desperate measure! That Human Emperor's schemes are truly unfathomable!" Daoist Duobao's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice.

The powerful figures of Xiqi all nodded. They had finally realized why Yang Jian had chosen this moment to storm the Heavenly Court.

"Fellow Daoist Lu Ya, please return to the Heavenly Court immediately. We cannot leave Xiqi without permission!" The Antarctic Immortal pondered for a moment and then said.

Yang Jian's strength was well known to all the powerful figures in Xiqi, which was why they were worried about the safety of the Jade Emperor Haotian.

If the Jade Emperor Haotian were to die, the impact on the Investiture of the Gods would be enormous, causing the entire Investiture of the Gods to develop in an unpredictable direction.

But just as the Old Man of the South Pole said, even knowing that Yang Jian had already stormed into the Heavenly Court, these people dared not leave Xiqi.

No one knows whether this was a scheme by the Human Emperor to lure the tiger away from the mountain. In the Great Shang Dynasty, there were still two peak Quasi-Saints, Nezha and Kong Xuan.

If these powerful figures went to the Heavenly Court and the Great Shang Dynasty suddenly launched an attack, how would Xiqi resist the incomparably powerful Great Shang Dynasty?

The current Shang Dynasty is not just about Nezha and Kong Xuan; the sheer number of Great Luo Golden Immortals is terrifying.

If Xiqi is destroyed, even if the Four Sages eventually destroy the Great Shang Dynasty, it will only result in mutual destruction, and the Investiture of the Gods calamity will still not be over.

Lu Ya knew this too, and didn't insist on anything. He immediately followed the Heavenly Court's envoy and hurriedly headed towards the Heavenly Court.

At this moment, both the Zhou Tian Star Array and the Hun Yuan Luo He Array began to tremble. Moreover, the amplitude of the tremors became increasingly violent.

Clearly, the two sages, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, have also begun to take things seriously, and it is only a matter of time before they break out of the formation.

Jiang Heng was fully aware of the situation within the two great formations, and he knew that the two formations could not hold out for much longer.

This is normal. Both Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu are extraordinary in strength, far surpassing the abilities of the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti.

Although both the Hunyuan Luohe Grand Formation and the Zhou Tian Xingdou Grand Formation are top-tier formations, they can only trap the Tongtian Sect Master and the Yuanshi Tianzun for a period of time.

Seeing that Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun were about to break out of the formation, Jiang Heng was not prepared to waste any more time with the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Guiding Saint, we've wasted so much time with you. It's time to end this. I'll send you to Nirvana now!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

No sooner had Jiang Heng finished speaking than he threw a punch, and in an instant, the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared in Jiang Heng's punch.

The supreme concept of reincarnation, combined with the authentic core power, makes this punch the second move of the Emperor Fist: Reincarnation.

Upon receiving this punch, both the saints Jieyin and Zhunti felt an incredible power, causing their expressions to become increasingly solemn.

At this moment, the Sage Zhunti disregarded his own injuries and continuously swung the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand, condensing beams of seven-colored light.

"To be willing to expend one's own resources is certainly decisive, but it's all destined to be in vain!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.

Sage Zhunti was already severely injured, and at this moment, he was forcibly activating the Seven Treasures Tree, which was tantamount to shaking the very foundation of Sage Zhunti himself.

But Sage Zhunti knew that if he didn't take a gamble now, the Western Sect's rise to prominence would be a long way off.

At the same time, the Sage of Guidance raised his hand and pointed, manifesting supreme aura, and the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit bloomed with boundless golden light.

The Sage of Guidance was also extremely decisive, pushing the power of the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit to its limit in an attempt to use it against Jiang Heng.

It should be understood that the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit suppresses the fortune of the Western Sect. If it is damaged, it will shake the very foundation of the Western Sect.

Subsequently, the Sage of Reception was still worried about the Sage of Zhunti. With a wave of his hand, a small blue flag flew towards the Sage of Zhunti.

Once this small blue flag manifests, it immediately gathers the light of relics, possessing the power to calm the mind, ward off all evil, and protect against all magical influences.

This is the Azure Lotus Treasure Banner, one of the Five Primordial Banners. It is not only a top-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure, but also has extremely strong defensive capabilities.

However, under Jiang Heng's Reincarnation Emperor Fist, both the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit and the Azure Lotus Banner were constantly vibrating.

In the end, to the astonishment of the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, both the Azure Lotus Banner and the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit were sent flying by Jiang Heng's punch.

These are no ordinary treasures, but two top-grade innate spiritual treasures! How could they be so easily knocked away by Jiang Heng?

Before the two saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, could recover from their shock, Jiang Heng had already taken a step forward and unleashed another punch.

With a single punch, a vast torrent of humanity instantly emerged, and within that mighty torrent, an indomitable will instantly coalesced.

This is the third move of the Emperor's Fist, a punch representing the power of humanity: Unyielding! This punch embodies the indomitable will of the human race.

In that vast torrent of humanity, Jiang Heng roared to the sky, throwing a punch that embodied his indomitable will against the heavens and against all the injustices of the world.

Before that indomitable will, even the highest saints would change color, and even the Heavenly Dao would fall silent.

Both the Sage of Guidance and the Sage of Zhunti felt a great threat and hurriedly gathered their power again to summon back the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit and the Azure Lotus Banner.

However, the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit and the Azure Lotus Banner seemed to sense a great threat, and both began to tremble continuously.

Both the Sage of Reception and the Sage of Zhunti were horrified, yet they still exerted all their strength and unleashed their full power.

"Boom!"

Amidst the deafening roar, the Azure Lotus Banner was the first to succumb, completely engulfed by the vast torrent of humanity.

The Seven Treasures Tree in the hands of the Sage Zhunti dimmed, and in the next instant, the Sage Zhunti was also submerged by the vast torrent of humanity.

The already severely injured Sage Zhunti was further aggravated by the overwhelming tide of humanity.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, even if the Sage Zhunti is not suppressed by the torrent of humanity, he will likely not have the strength to fight again, and may even remain silent for endless years.

Amidst the vast torrent of humanity, the twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit shone brightly, radiating endless golden light.

But before he could hold out for long, the Sage of Reception suddenly showed a look of shock. After hesitating for a moment, the Sage of Reception finally put away the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit.

The next moment, a vast torrent of humanity swept in, and the guiding sage could only resist it with his own power, and was eventually submerged by the torrent of humanity.

The Sage of Guidance was also helpless. In that instant, he sensed that the fortune of the Western Sect was constantly fluctuating within the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit.

The Sage of Guidance felt that if he were to use the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit to resist the vast torrent of humanity, the fortune of the Western Sect would inevitably be damaged.

Even if he and the Sage Zhunti were injured and had to remain silent for endless years, the Sage Jieyin could not accept the result of the Western Religion's fortune being damaged.

Even if the two saints of the Western religion are injured, they will only be silent for a period of time at most, and there will still be many opportunities in the future.

However, if the fortune of the Western Religion is damaged, then the Western Religion's desire to flourish will truly be a long way off!

At this moment, a trace of regret arose in the heart of the Guide Saint. He had not expected that the Western Church would pay such a heavy price in this battle.

Originally, the two saints of the Western Sect never intended to take action. With Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu present, it wasn't their turn to intervene.

The Western Sect had already planned everything during the Investiture of the Gods calamity. They were just waiting for the calamity to end so they could become the biggest winner.

No one could have imagined that the mere human race would not only quietly produce a saint, but also possess two supreme formations.

Even then, neither the Sages Jieyin nor Zhunti believed they would lose. After all, their side had a total of four Sages.

With the combined power of two Western saints, surely they couldn't suppress a mere Human Emperor? Even if this Human Emperor had already become a saint.

But that's exactly how it turned out. Even with the two Western Saints joining forces, they were ultimately defeated by the Human Emperor before them.

This human emperor not only became a saint without anyone noticing, but his strength was also so great that even the Saints who received him could hardly understand it.

At the moment when he was overwhelmed by the vast torrent of humanity, the Sage of Reception already understood in his heart that the Western Sect had suffered a great defeat in the Investiture of the Gods.

During the Investiture of the Gods calamity, according to the plans of the two sages of the Western Sect, this calamity was supposed to be the one in which the Western Sect laid the foundation for its great prosperity.

For this reason, the two saints of the Western religion even went so far as to do many despicable things, all for the sake of the great prosperity of the Western religion.

The two saints of the Western Sect were suffering greatly! Especially the saint Zhunti, who made a great vow to the Heavenly Dao in order to become a saint.

Originally, according to the rules of the primordial world, the Investiture of the Gods and the Journey to the West were the times when the two saints of the Western Sect became saints.

However, with the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa becoming saints one after another, the two saints of the Western Sect were naturally unwilling to fall behind.

This is normal. After all, once you fall behind, you fall further and further behind, and catching up is not an easy task.

Left with no other choice, the Sage Zhunti made a grand vow to the Heavenly Dao, essentially borrowing immeasurable merit from it, which allowed him and the Sage Jieyin to become saints ahead of schedule.

Paying back debts is a matter of course! The Sage Zhunti owes immeasurable merits to the Heavenly Dao, so even if he wanted to renege on his debt, it would be impossible for him to do so.

This is why, after becoming a saint, Sage Zhunti's strength did not improve at all, making him arguably the weakest among the six saints.

Only when Western religion flourishes can immeasurable merit be accumulated, can the immeasurable merit owed to Heaven be repaid, and can the cause and effect be offset.

Only then will the Sage Zhunti be able to break free from all constraints, and perhaps even take a step forward in the realm of sagehood.

But now, with Jiang Heng's two incredible punches, all the schemes of the two saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, have become nothing but a mirage.

In the primordial world, saints do not perish, but after suffering severe injuries, even saints must remain silent for endless years.

Throughout these endless years, the Western Sect has no more saints to preside over it, and in the primordial world, there is no hope for the Western Sect to flourish again.

Of course, neither Zhunti nor Jieyin knew at this time that if the original course of the Investiture of the Gods had been followed, there would have been no more saints in the prehistoric world after the Investiture of the Gods.

Under the prohibition of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, all saints were relegated to the Thirty-Three Heavens, and only the three corpses of saints could walk in the primordial world.

If they knew this news, the two saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, would probably feel some relief.

At this moment, the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, felt only endless resentment and despair, yet they were utterly helpless.

Just as the two saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, were completely submerged by the torrent of humanity, the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array and the Hun Yuan Luo He Grand Array began to tremble simultaneously.

"The two saints, Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun, are indeed worthy of being both members of the Three Pure Ones; they truly have a telepathic connection!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable and the Tongtian Sect Master hesitated to break the formation, but just when the Sage was being overwhelmed by the torrent of humanity, they began to break the formation together.

The timing was so perfect that it's no surprise what the two sages, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, were planning.

Of course, for Jiang Heng, it was precisely because of the schemes of Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu that he had the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

Otherwise, if Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu had broken out of the formation earlier, Jiang Heng would not have had the chance to seriously injure the two saints, Zhunti and Jieyin.

In the next instant, the Zhou Tian Star Array and the Hun Yuan Luo He Array exploded, and the two saints, Tong Tian Jiao Zhu and Yuan Shi Tian Zun, appeared.

Jiang Heng withdrew the torrent of humanity and glanced at the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, whose auras were weak and whose appearances were as miserable as could be.

At this moment, the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, were already severely injured under the impact of the torrent of humanity, and their strength was reduced to less than one-tenth.

The Sage's situation is better; he was only seriously injured and is expected to recover after hundreds of thousands of years of seclusion and cultivation.

The situation was much worse for Sage Zhunti, whose very essence as a sage had been damaged. Even after hundreds of thousands of years of seclusion and cultivation, he was unable to recover to his full potential.

However, neither Sage Zhunti nor Sage Jieyin had the strength to fight anymore, and returning to seclusion for cultivation was their only option.

The two saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, knew the gravity of the situation and had lost all will to fight. They turned and headed towards the Western Vulture Peak.

This time, Zhunti and Jieyin were tricked by Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun, and their hearts are probably full of resentment.

If they could, they would love for the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Primordial Heavenly Lord to also be defeated by Jiang Heng, or better yet, to be seriously injured.

As a result, not only were they all defeated by the Human Emperor, but they were also all seriously injured, so naturally the eldest brother didn't talk about the second brother.

With one step, Jiang Heng returned to the primordial world and appeared before the two sages, Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun.

"You have done so much that I am truly surprised, but you should understand that it is all time to end this!" Yuanshi Tianzun said in a deep voice.

The reason why Yuanshi Tianzun was reluctant to break out of the formation was naturally because he was plotting against the two saints of the Western Sect, and the enmity between him and these two saints was not small.

Whether it was the Western religion's plot to establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation or their secret schemes against Guang Chengzi, Yuanshi Tianzun kept all of these things in mind.

The decision to cooperate with the Western Religion was made out of necessity. Now, seeing the two Western Religion saints in such a miserable state, it would be a lie to say that Yuanshi Tianzun was not happy.

However, even the Primordial Celestial Venerable himself did not expect that the Human Emperor before him could actually seriously injure the two saints of the Western Sect.

Yuanshi Tianzun himself knew that even for him, seriously injuring the two saints of the Western Sect would be extremely difficult.

Yuanshi Tianzun was naturally unaware that although Jiang Heng had not been at the Saint Realm for long, he had obtained an unparalleled opportunity.

That drop of purple blood not only brought Jiang Heng back to the Dragon-Han Calamity, but also brought him unparalleled opportunities.

The power of the origin of more than two thousand Great Dao Demon Gods was absorbed by Jiang Heng. Only Jiang Heng himself knows the extent of his strength.

The fact that Jiang Heng was able to defeat two Western Saints so badly on his own already reveals something about this.

Moreover, in order not to let Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao see too much abnormality, Jiang Heng actually concealed some of his strength in this battle.

Otherwise, the two saints of the Western religion would not be in their current state, but would have paid a much heavier price.

Of course, slaying a saint in the primordial world is too easy. However, suppressing the Saints Jieyin and Zhunti for billions of years is not an impossible task.

"The Hunyuan Luohe Grand Formation is a self-contained formation space. Even a sage would find it difficult to decipher its various changes!"

The formation is excellent, and your strength is also impressive; you truly deserve our respect. It's been a long time since such an interesting being has appeared in this primordial world.

"If it weren't for the future of the Jie Sect, I would really like to have a good fight with you!" Tongtian Jiaozhu said with great emotion.

Jiang Heng didn't actually sense much hostility from the Tongtian Cult Leader. In fact, the Tongtian Cult Leader quite admired Jiang Heng.

But as Tongtian Jiaozhu said, for the sake of the future of the Jie Sect, even if he admired Jiang Heng, there were some things he had to do.

"If the Tongtian Sect Leader wants to fight, I'd also like to experience the renowned Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation firsthand!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

Jiang Heng was also very interested in the sage Tongtian Jiaozhu. In Jiang Heng's view, this sage was the most interesting among the Three Pure Ones.

Among the Three Pure Ones, the Supreme Pure Sage is unfathomable. To this day, Jiang Heng still does not know what level this sage has reached.

The sage Yuanshi Tianzun was equally powerful and incredibly majestic. Overall, he was quite conventional, but because he was too rigid, he lacked a certain degree of variation.

Although the Tongtian Sect Leader's strength was not as unfathomable as that of the Taiqing Saint, nor did he possess the innate treasures of the Yuanshi Tianzun, he was still powerful.

However, in Jiang Heng's view, the Tongtian Sect Leader, this saint, should be the most talented among the Three Pure Ones.

Talent is not the same as ability, nor is it equivalent to strength, but it gives the Tongtian Sect Leader unlimited possibilities for the future.

If it weren't for the primordial world, and if he hadn't already become a saint under the Heavenly Dao, in Jiang Heng's view, the Tongtian Sect Master might have gone much further.

Jiang Heng had personally set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and even used it against Dao Ancestor Hongjun. But Jiang Heng believed that the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation would inevitably undergo more changes in the hands of the Tongtian Sect Master.

A battle against a sage like the Tongtian Sect Leader would indeed be very interesting. But for both Jiang Heng and the Tongtian Sect Leader, they carried too much on their shoulders.

If they weren't in the primordial world, Jiang Heng might have truly become close friends with the Sage Tongtian.

Unfortunately, both Jiang Heng and the Tongtian Sect Leader had their own things to do, so their encounter could not be as simple as just a friendly spar.

Upon hearing Jiang Heng's words, the Tongtian Sect Leader shook his head and said, "The Zhou Tian Star Array and the Hunyuan Luohe Array have been broken!"

With your strength alone, you are no match for me and Senior Brother Yuanshi! Give up, Human Emperor!

"Junior Brother Tongtian is right. Saints are immortal and indestructible, but if you insist on going your own way, I will have no choice but to suppress you!" said Yuanshi Tianzun.

In the eyes of the two sages, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, the fate of Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor, was already predetermined and without any suspense.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu are not the saints Jieyin and Zhunti. Both of them possess supreme treasures and their strength is terrifying.

Whether it's the Pangu Banner in the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun or the Zhuxian Sword in the hands of Tongtian Jiaozhu, both could beat the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, to a pulp.

Although the strength Jiang Heng displayed surprised Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu to some extent, it was only a slight surprise.

With the discerning eyes of these two sages, it was not difficult to see that neither Sage Zhunti nor Sage Jieyin was at their peak.

Otherwise, the difference between sages wouldn't be so great, and Jiang Heng, fighting two against one, would have virtually no chance of winning.

Moreover, at this moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable were clearly not prepared for any unexpected events and were already preparing to join forces to suppress Jiang Heng.

The fact that the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable have joined forces means that even the Taiqing Saint, the head of the Six Saints, might not be able to withstand them.

Therefore, in the eyes of all the sages, Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor, was indeed an incredible existence, but that was the end of it.

"Hahaha! I said long ago that I had foreseen this day and made the necessary preparations."

"Do you think I never considered that in the final moments I would face the Primordial Sage and the Heavenly Sage?" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu were slightly taken aback, and their gazes toward Jiang Heng became uncertain and doubtful.

Regardless of strength, both Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu admired the Human Emperor before them for his methods alone.

With the Investiture of the Gods reaching such a point, no one believed that the Great Shang Dynasty had any chance whatsoever, yet this Human Emperor had achieved what he had achieved.

The arrival of the Four Saints should have been an overwhelming force! But now, the two saints of the Western Sect have been rendered unable to fight back by the human emperor before them.

Before this battle, who could have imagined that the human race possessed two saint-level formations? And who could have imagined that the Human Emperor would become a saint so quietly?

Just as Jiang Heng said, since so much preparation had been made, how could he not have guessed that he would eventually face the two saints, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu?

"Human power is finite, and you have already done an extraordinary feat by achieving this much, but the human race has only existed for a very short time!"

"To have achieved this level is already the limit of the human race; this is the will of Heaven!" said the Primordial Heavenly Venerable in an extremely indifferent manner.

To break this deadlock, humanity would need to produce another sage. But in the eyes of the Primordial Celestial Lord, this was already impossible.

It is already incredible that a sage like Jiang Heng could appear so quietly among the human race. Where could there be any more sages?

This is a saint! In the entire primordial world, over countless millennia, only nine saints have ever appeared.

In the primordial world, there were countless living beings, yet only nine sages were born.

This shows just how difficult it is to become a saint. Humanity has only existed for a few million years; how could it possibly have two saints?

The Primordial Celestial Venerable was right; among the human race today, apart from Jiang Heng who has become a saint, there is indeed no other saint.

"Human Emperor! Surrender! This way, we can avoid a lot of fighting and preserve a spark for your human race!"

"You should know that there are only 365 positions of true gods on the Investiture of the Gods. This is not an unbearable burden for the human race!" Tongtian Sect Leader said in a deep voice.

The Tongtian Sect Leader is right. The human race now has more than a thousand Great Luo Golden Immortals. Even though 360 of them were listed on the Investiture of the Gods, it is not a huge loss.

But Jiang Heng knew that during the Investiture of the Gods, the calamity for the human race was not caused by the two saints, Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun.

Even the so-called Investiture of the Gods and the rise of the Heavenly Court did not actually have an unacceptable impact on the human race.

But the lofty Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the lofty Heavenly Dao wanted more than just to weaken the human race.

This completely crushed the human race, and the Human Emperor was no longer the Human Emperor, but became the Son of Heaven, thus establishing the situation where humans were under the heavens.

This is the truth behind the Investiture of the Gods, this is the true calamity for humanity. This is something Jiang Heng cannot accept, and something the entire human race cannot accept.

Therefore, ever since the Lich War began, Jiang Heng has been secretly preparing, precisely to break the predetermined fate and carve out a bright future for the human race.

Just as Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu broke out of the formation, cheers erupted from the Xiqi army.

The battle between Jiang Heng and the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, was witnessed by all the saints in Xiqi, who were naturally extremely surprised by Jiang Heng's strength.

No one could have imagined that Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor, would not only become a saint without anyone noticing, but also reach such an incredible level of strength.

Jieyin and Zhunti were two saints working together! Even so, they were still severely injured by Jiang Heng and could no longer make a move.

The two disciples of the Western Sect, Maitreya and Bhaisajyaguru, were almost stunned, completely unable to believe what they were seeing.

The two teachers, who were invincible in their eyes, were not only defeated by the Human Emperor, but were also beaten so badly. How could the Western Church save face?

Even Daoist Duobao and the Antarctic Immortal were terrified, completely unable to believe that Jiang Heng's strength was so formidable.

However, after the two sages, Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun, broke out of the formation, the powerful figures of Xiqi finally felt relieved.

There's no suspense left! No matter how strong this Human Emperor is, he will definitely be defeated when facing two saints at the same time, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu.

The powerful figures of Xiqi were overjoyed, while Jiang Ziya and others in the army of the Great Shang Dynasty looked at Jiang Heng with solemn expressions.

"Now is the most difficult moment. Facing two sages at the same time, I'm afraid the Human Emperor will find it very difficult to turn the tide!" Nezha said in a deep voice.

"Nezha! Join forces with me, even if it means death, to hold back one of the saints!" Kong Xuan said with unwavering determination.

"Alright! I'll join forces with you and try to hold off Uncle Tongtian as much as possible!" Nezha said in a deep voice, his expression hardening.

At this moment, Kong Xuan and Nezha both knew that, apart from Jiang Heng, they were already the strongest among the human race.

Aside from their intervention to hold off a sage, the human race had no other way to break the deadlock, and they all knew what that meant.

That's a saint! Below a saint, everyone is an ant. If they dare to attack a saint, there is only one outcome: death!

Knowing it was certain death, neither Nezha nor Kong Xuan hesitated or felt any fear at that moment.

Kong Xuan goes without saying; for the Phoenix Clan, he was willing to give everything. Even when facing a Sage, Kong Xuan would not hesitate to take action.

As for Nezha, he was originally a servant of the saint Nuwa. Out of respect for Nuwa, even a saint would not easily attack him.

Strictly speaking, the human race has little to do with Nezha. But at some point, Nezha came to accept his identity as a human.

Seeing the human emperor fighting bloody battles, seeing those human warriors who never retreated even when facing saints.

Deep within Nezha's heart, a certain intense emotion could no longer be suppressed. Therefore, at this moment, even if it meant death, he would act without hesitation.

"Don't be impulsive. With your strength, if you were to attack a sage, you would die instantly and be unable to delay the sage for even a moment!"

"The Human Emperor once said that you do not need to participate in this battle. I presume that the Human Emperor already has a plan in mind!" Jiang Ziya said in a deep voice.

Kong Xuan and Nezha were both stunned. They had not expected that the Human Emperor had already left instructions before this battle.

Was this all foreseen? Doesn't that mean that this human emperor still has some trump cards up his sleeve?

But how could that be possible? It's already incredible that the human race has achieved its current strength; how could it possibly have any spare power?

Just then, Lu Ya, having traveled at breakneck speed, arrived at the Heavenly Court. But what he saw before him left him completely dumbfounded.

The first thing that catches the eye is the South Heavenly Gate, which has been reduced to ruins. Along the way to the Lingxiao Palace, there are countless corpses of heavenly soldiers and generals.

Among them were some powerful figures from the Heavenly Court, and many of them were even powerful figures from the demon race. Lu Ya's heart began to bleed.

These powerful demons were all painstakingly trained by Lu Ya, and each one represents the hope for the demon race's future resurgence.

When Lu Ya arrived at the Lingxiao Palace, he couldn't find any trace of it; all that remained was ruins.

Above the Lingxiao Palace, the Twenty-Four Heavens above Yang Jian's head seemed to have transformed into a real world.

An incredibly terrifying aura condensed around Yang Jian, a powerful aura that would make even a peak Quasi-Saint like Lu Ya tremble in fear.

On the other side, the Jade Emperor Haotian and the Queen Mother fought side by side, but they looked much more miserable. Not only were their faces pale, but there was also a trace of blood at the corner of their mouths.

"How is this possible? How could Yang Jian be so strong?" Lu Ya thought in utter shock.

The Jade Emperor Haotian and the Queen Mother of the West are both peak Quasi-Saints, and both possess supreme treasures. Among the Quasi-Saints in the prehistoric world, they are among the top powerhouses.

Moreover, Lu Ya knew very well that as long as he was in the Heavenly Court, the Queen Mother of the West and the Jade Emperor Haotian could gather the power of the entire Heavenly Court and bless him.

Lu Ya had witnessed this before, and he knew very well that even in a one-on-one fight, he would never be a match for the Jade Emperor Haotian.

This is why Lu Ya suppressed his ambition and became the Gouchen Emperor of Heaven, never disobeying the Jade Emperor Haotian.

But now, even with the Jade Emperor Haotian and the Queen Mother of the West joining forces, they have been beaten into such a miserable state by Yang Jian?

Lu Ya was certain that when Yang Jian stormed into the Heavenly Court a thousand years ago, he definitely did not possess such terrifying strength.

In other words, Yang Jian must have broken through again during these thousand years to further enhance his strength.

But how could that be possible? As a peak Quasi-Saint, Lu Ya naturally knew how difficult it was to make a breakthrough on the basis of a peak Quasi-Saint.

"Great Emperor Gouchen, you've come at the right time! Quickly join forces with us to suppress this bastard Yang Jian!" Jade Emperor Haotian said hastily upon seeing Lu Ya.

When the Jade Emperor Haotian first fought Yang Jian, he already knew that Yang Jian's strength had improved even further compared to a thousand years ago.

But the Jade Emperor Haotian never expected that even with his alliance with the Queen Mother of the West and the combined power of the Heavenly Court, they were still no match for Yang Jian.

Even with the combined power of the Heavenly Court, he and the Queen Mother of the West could only barely hold off Yang Jian.

But as the battle continued, Yang Jian's fighting spirit grew stronger and stronger, and the chaotic divine light condensing around him became increasingly dazzling.

The Jade Emperor Haotian was horrified to discover that Yang Jian seemed to be growing stronger with each battle. At that moment, the Jade Emperor Haotian truly felt the threat of death.

As the ruler of the Heavenly Court, and seeing that the Heavenly Court was about to flourish and he was about to become the master of the primordial world, the Jade Emperor Haotian naturally did not want to die.

Finally, with Lu Ya appearing, the Jade Emperor Haotian saw a glimmer of hope. He refused to believe that three peak Quasi-Saints working together couldn't stop Yang Jian.

"Hmph! Lu Ya, you actually dare to come back? Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish first!" Yang Jian looked at Lu Ya and said in a deep voice.

Although he had completely suppressed the Jade Emperor Haotian and the Queen Mother of the West, Yang Jian was not very satisfied with the result.

Before storming the Heavenly Court, Yang Jian had promised Jiang Heng that he would definitely kill the Jade Emperor Haotian and make the Heavenly Court a thing of the past.

However, after fighting for so long, Yang Jian still hadn't managed to kill the Jade Emperor Haotian, and he was starting to get anxious.

Although he didn't know the current situation of the human race, Yang Jian could still feel the holy might that permeated the primordial world.

A sage has arrived! And there is more than one sage. Yang Jian doesn't know how the human race should resist the sages.

But Yang Jian knew that if he could kill the Jade Emperor Haotian sooner and completely destroy the Heavenly Court, it would definitely help the situation of the human race.

Therefore, Yang Jian no longer cared about anything else. Even if it meant his death, he was determined to kill the Jade Emperor Haotian in a short time.

Suddenly, the chaotic immortal light on Yang Jian's body intensified, and endless chaotic energy surged out, making the Lingxiao Palace seem like a chaotic sea.

"kill!"

Yang Jian, carrying the power of the Twenty-Four Heavens, was almost one with the chaotic energy. With a resolute aura, he took the lead in attacking Lu Ya.

At the same time, facing two saints, Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun, Jiang Heng's expression remained unchanged, without a trace of solemnity.

"From the very beginning, I knew that the enemy facing my human race was definitely not just a saint, and therefore I made a lot of preparations."

"It seems that being well-prepared is always a good thing! Now that we're facing two sages, it's perfect timing to put that to good use!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

The expressions of Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu instantly hardened, as they simultaneously sensed a Saint-level power gathering once again.

"How is that possible?"
