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

Chapter 266 The Decisive Battle at the Summit of Kunlun!

Just as the Sage Taiqing said, Jiang Heng, as the Human Emperor, devoted himself to planning for the human race, which led to the current situation of the human race.

Although Jiang Heng did not allow sages to interfere in the affairs of the human race, he himself had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the human race.

But would Jiang Heng really turn a blind eye to the human race? Would he really be willing to see Taihao, a pawn of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, become the current Human Emperor?

If it really comes to that, what will become of the human race under the calculations of Dao Ancestor Hongjun?

Unless Jiang Heng truly transcends the world and no longer intends to concern himself with the affairs of the human race, how could he remain indifferent?

A year passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, at the foot of Kunlun Mountain in the Earthly Immortal Realm, countless human powerhouses gathered, eagerly awaiting their arrival.

In this era, two unparalleled geniuses emerged among the human race, whose talents and abilities were unmatched throughout history.

Fuxi and Taihao, whoever they were, would have been the undisputed emperors of the world in any other era, but they met in this one.

Today, Fuxi and Taihao will fight to the death on Kunlun Mountain, and the victor will become the current emperor of the human race.

This contest between Fuxi and Taihao alone will undoubtedly leave a significant mark on the history of the human race.

Therefore, whoever becomes the Human Emperor will surely be an unparalleled Human Emperor, leading the human race to a more glorious future.

Besides the powerful figures of the human race, other powerful figures from the Earthly Immortal Realm also arrived at this time, all for the purpose of this battle between Fuxi and Taihao.

Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals, Yun Zhongzi, the Great Emperor of Fengdu, and Yunxiao Fairy, one of the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, are all renowned and powerful figures in the earth immortal realm.

Many powerful figures have realized that this battle, besides involving the ownership of the Human Emperor, is also inextricably linked to this great calamity.

Many powerful figures are even speculating whether this great calamity will fully erupt during the battle between Fuxi and Taihao.

Whatever the reason, the battle between Fuxi and Taihao has become the focus of attention for countless living beings.

Amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd and surrounded by a host of powerful human warriors, Fuxi and Shaohao each appeared atop Kunlun.

The moment they appeared, Fuxi and Shaohao's gazes met, and an invisible aura clashed between them.

Almost simultaneously, Taihao and Fuxi each took a step and arrived at the summit of Kunlun, standing face to face.

Should I call you Taihao, or Shaohao?

As Fuxi gazed at the imposing and powerful human man before him, he sensed an incredibly familiar aura emanating from Shao Hao.

"A name is just a label. Whether it's Taihao or Shaohao, I am still me!" Shaohao said.

Among the human race today, who doesn't know that Shao Hao is unparalleled in his domineering aura and acts with extraordinary tyranny, even earning him the reputation of a hegemon emperor?

Many humans believe that with their current strength, they should be led by a powerful human emperor to create unparalleled glory.

When Shao Hao rose to power among the human race, he once proclaimed: "Under the vast heaven, all land belongs to the people; on the shores of the earth, all people are subjects of the people."

What a majestic and domineering sight! Shao Hao clearly possesses the ambition to devour the universe and sweep across the three realms.

Humans are the protagonists of heaven and earth, and their strength is now incredibly powerful. Even if they sweep across the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity, what does it matter?

Why confine ourselves to the mere realm of mortal immortals? Shouldn't the Human Emperor be the ruler of the Heavenly Court? Shouldn't humanity be the overlord of the primordial world?

This is why so many humans support Shao Hao. Rather than saying they support Shao Hao, it's more accurate to say they support Shao Hao's actions.

The same applies to the human race who support Fuxi; they do not support Fuxi as a person, but rather how Fuxi developed the human race's ideology.

"Very well! Whoever you are, today's battle will settle things once and for all between us!" Fuxi said in a deep voice.

Fuxi would never forget how perilous that battle in the human realm was, and how he narrowly escaped death to defeat Taihao.

Although the Shaohao before me does not look the same as Taihao, I still recognize his familiar aura and his equally domineering style.

Even if Fuxi couldn't see through Shaohao's true identity, he knew that the Shaohao before him was definitely the same being as Taihao.

Therefore, Fuxi never underestimated Shao Hao from the beginning, but regarded him as his greatest enemy.

"Well said. Whether it's a new grudge or an old hatred, today on Kunlun Mountain, we must settle things once and for all."

"However, I can tell you now that no matter what happens, I will definitely win today and you will lose!" Shao Hao said domineeringly.

On Shao Hao's face, Fu Xi saw a strong sense of confidence, just as Tai Hao had said, a confidence that showed no fear no matter what unexpected events might occur.

"Oh? That's true for me too! No matter what, you can never become the Human Emperor!"

Fuxi's words were not only filled with strong confidence, but also with a sense of determination; they were more like a declaration.

Since being reincarnated as a human and becoming the ruler of the human realm, everything Fuxi has done has been in accordance with his status as a human.

There is no more Fuxi of the demon race, nor is there any more Fuxi, the great power of the ancient times, the brother of the sage Nuwa. The current Fuxi is merely a human.

Otherwise, Fuxi would not have gained the approval of the human realm's will, and would not have possessed the power he has today among the human race.

"Stop talking big here. We'll see how it goes soon. Let's begin the first battle!" Shao Hao said expressionlessly.

As soon as Shao Hao finished speaking, one of the human powerhouses on Shao Hao's side took a step forward and arrived at the summit of Kunlun.

This battle was first proposed by Shao Hao. According to the rules, the first battle will be fought by Shao Hao's side sending out one person first, and then Fu Xi's side will choose to accept the challenge.

Fuxi nodded, and in the next instant, Nezha took a step forward and also arrived at the summit of Kunlun.

Fuxi and Shaohao withdrew, leaving the battlefield atop Kunlun Mountain to Nezha and another group of human warriors.

For a time, countless humans focused their attention on the summit of Kunlun, waiting for the competition that would determine the ultimate winner of the Human Emperor to officially begin.

Many creatures in the prehistoric world are familiar with Nezha, who is a renowned peak quasi-saint.

During the Investiture of the Gods, Nezha demonstrated extremely strong combat power and was once considered one of the strongest human beings, comparable to Yang Jian.

Now, after the test of time, no one doubts whether Nezha's strength can be further enhanced.

In fact, many powerful figures believed that even if Nezha were to fight Shao Hao, he would most likely win, rather than Shao Hao.

There's no way around it! Nezha's numerous achievements are all genuine; his reputation was built upon battles against countless peak quasi-saints.

On the other hand, judging from the aura emanating from Nezha's opponent, he was also a human powerhouse at the peak of the Quasi-Saint level.

However, many beings are completely unfamiliar with this powerful human, and it is likely that he is a human who has been cultivating in seclusion.

"My name is Ji Xuan, and I attained enlightenment during the reign of Emperor Yu!" said the powerful human in front of Nezha in a deep voice.

Ji Xuan was not well-known among the human race, but he was an absolute peak Quasi-Saint, and such a powerful figure was not uncommon among the human race.

However, most of the human powerhouses who have reached the peak Quasi-Saint level are in the Fire Cloud Cave, and there are practically none who have wandered outside.

Ji Xuan said that he attained enlightenment during the time of Emperor Yu, which is indeed extremely far removed from the present era, but this does not prove anything.

Reaching the Quasi-Saint realm is incredibly difficult. Relying solely on one's own cultivation is practically hopeless.

Therefore, when they saw that Shao Hao's side could still produce a peak Quasi-Saint, all the creatures in the prehistoric world were somewhat surprised.

This is a peak Quasi-Saint! Although it's normal for the human race to have peak Quasi-Saints, they're not something that can be produced casually.

"Enough with the nonsense, make your move quickly, or I'm afraid you'll never have another chance!" Nezha said disdainfully.

Even though Ji Xuan's peak Quasi-Saint cultivation surprised countless beings, Nezha didn't care about such things; he only wanted to finish the battle quickly.

The reason Fuxi sent Nezha to fight this battle was to achieve a resounding victory and thus gain the upper hand.

After much deliberation, among all the powerful human beings, it would undoubtedly be the safest course of action for Nezha to make the first move.

Meanwhile, in the Nuwa Palace outside the primordial world, the Sage Nuwa, the Sage Taiqing, the Master of Tongtian, and Yang Jian were also watching this battle closely.

"What do you all think of Ji Xuan?" the Sage Nuwa asked first.

"There are indeed traces of the Heavenly Dao on his body. If there are no surprises, this person was able to reach the peak Quasi-Saint realm by relying on the power of the Heavenly Dao!" said the Tongtian Sect Master.

With the strength of Nuwa and the other saints, it was naturally not difficult for them to see through Ji Xuan's true strength.

In the eyes of Nuwa and other saints, the traces of the Heavenly Dao on Ji Xuan were too obvious. How could they not know that there was something wrong with Ji Xuan?

In the eyes of Nuwa and other sages, the reason why this human named Ji Xuan was able to reach the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm was all due to the Heavenly Dao.

With the power of the Heavenly Dao, it is naturally not a difficult thing for a human to reach the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm.

But precisely because of this, some worries arose in the heart of the Sage Nuwa. She had a vague idea of ​​why Shao Hao had proposed such a competition.

"It seems that this battle is indeed not simple. Dao Ancestor is indeed Dao Ancestor. Once he makes a move, he is truly extraordinary!" Nuwa said in a deep voice.

The Sage Nuwa understood that if Ji Xuan could become a peak Quasi-Saint with the help of the Heavenly Dao, why couldn't others?

Furthermore, if Heaven were willing to pay any price, it could very well create several top-tier human powerhouses.

In a best-of-five series, Fuxi seems to have the advantage, but the final outcome is really hard to say.

"No matter how Heaven intervenes, Nezha will surely win this first battle!" the Sage Taiqing said with a smile.

As soon as the Sage Taiqing finished speaking, the first battle of the best-of-five series began atop Kunlun Mountain between Nezha and Ji Xuan.

Perhaps provoked by Nezha's arrogant attitude, Ji Xuan took the initiative and instantly unleashed extremely powerful force.

With just his first move, Ji Xuan's displayed strength had already shocked many powerful figures in the primordial world.

Ji Xuan is not only a true peak Quasi-Saint, but his strength is even greater than that of many peak Quasi-Saints.

For example, when the Great Emperor Yun Zhongzi of Fengdu saw the power that Ji Xuan unleashed, his expression became solemn.

After observing carefully for a moment, Yun Zhongzi realized that if he were to fight Ji Xuan, he would most likely be the one to lose.

The true extent of Ji Xuan's strength could be gleaned from Yun Zhongzi's reaction, naturally shocking many powerful figures in the prehistoric world.

Ji Xuan's strength is indeed very strong; he is even among the top quasi-saints in the entire prehistoric world.

However, Ji Xuan, who seemed extremely powerful, was completely outmatched when he first clashed with Nezha.

To say that he was at a disadvantage was actually an overestimation of Ji Xuan. From the moment Nezha made his move, Ji Xuan had almost no power to fight back.

After being brutally beaten by Nezha, Ji Xuan tried desperately to fight back, but was met with an even more brutal beating.

In a daze, Ji Xuan didn't even know how he fell into a coma or how he fell to the top of Kunlun Mountain.

In the first battle, a best-of-five series, Nezha won so quickly and without any suspense, which was exactly what many creatures had expected.

But for countless beings in the primordial world, this battle was still so shocking that many were unable to recover for a long time.

Many creatures in the primordial world understood that it wasn't that Ji Xuan was weak, which was why he appeared powerless against Nezha.

On the contrary, in the eyes of many beings in the primordial world, Ji Xuan's strength was already extremely powerful, so powerful that few strong people could match him.

It wasn't that Ji Xuan wasn't strong enough, but that Nezha was too strong! So strong that even the peak quasi-saints in the prehistoric world felt a sense of despair.

Yes! At this point, Nezha was indeed powerful enough, even powerful enough to rival Yang Jian back then.

Back then, when training Yang Jian and Nezha, Jiang Heng did not treat them differently and treated them equally.

Whether it is the Chaos Body or the Innate Dao Body Holy Embryo, both are considered supreme physiques, and there is no inherent difference in their quality.

The techniques taught to the two were the same; both the "Chaos Scripture" and the "Beginningless Scripture" were extremely high-level techniques.

Furthermore, due to the existence of the Great Emperor Wushi, in some respects, the "Wushi Sutra" cultivated by Nezha is at a higher level than the "Chaos Sutra" cultivated by Yang Jian.

However, due to his own personality, by the time Yang Jian became the strongest person below the level of a sage, Nezha's strength had already fallen far behind Yang Jian's.

Now, Yang Jian has replaced Zhunti the Sage and become the new Sage of the prehistoric world. The difference between the two is beyond comprehension.

Therefore, when Heaven invaded the human world, Jiang Heng specially sent Nezha to the human world to cultivate, hoping that Nezha could make further progress.

Through his trials in the human realm, Nezha eventually raised his cultivation to its limit, reaching the level that Yang Jian had once attained.

It is no exaggeration to say that, since Yang Jian, Nezha has become the strongest being below the level of a sage in the primordial world.

Even with the help of the Heavenly Dao, which elevated his strength to the peak of Quasi-Saint, how could Ji Xuan possibly be a match for Nezha?

Nezha won easily, and Ji Xuan was almost powerless against him. The first match, a best-of-five series, thus came to an end.

Fuxi's side achieved a resounding victory, taking the lead, and Nezha won so effortlessly, naturally boosting morale.

On the other hand, there was no movement from Shao Hao's side. However, there was no change in expression on Shao Hao's face either.

It seems that Ji Xuan's defeat at the hands of Nezha was all within Shao Hao's expectations, so there was nothing surprising about it.

"Since my side won the first battle, it is only right that my side should go first in the second battle!" Fuxi said loudly.

As soon as Fuxi finished speaking, a figure stepped forward and took a single step, already reaching the summit of Kunlun.

For the second battle, Fuxi sent none other than Yuan Feng, once the strongest expert in the primordial world.

Clearly, no matter what kind of scheme Shao Hao had, Fu Xi had already devised a strategy.

Nezha went first and won the battle. Yuanfeng went second and pressed his advantage, aiming for two consecutive victories.

If Kong Xuan wins the third battle, he will be able to easily secure victory in the competition without even needing Fuxi to intervene personally.

This was a strategy personally devised by the Sage Nuwa. The appearance of Kong Xuan and Yuan Feng was naturally also thanks to the Sage Nuwa.

If it weren't for the Holy Nuwa personally speaking up, Kong Xuan and Yuan Feng would never have interfered in the affairs of the human race, and naturally they wouldn't have helped Fuxi.

Yuan Feng appeared atop Kunlun Mountain, his powerful aura erupting instantly, causing countless creatures in the primordial world to tremble in fear.

Unlike Nezha, many creatures in the primordial world did not recognize Yuan Feng at all, which is actually normal.

During the Dragon-Han Calamity, Yuan Feng had already suppressed the Undying Volcano with her own body. As the long years passed, naturally not many people knew about Yuan Feng.

Although Yuan Feng escaped with Jiang Heng's help, she did not leave many traces in the prehistoric world.

Therefore, many creatures in the primordial world, let alone knowing Yuan Feng's identity, had never even heard of Yuan Feng's legend.

However, there were still powerful beings left over from the ancient times in the primordial world, such as Zhenyuan, the ancestor of earth immortals, and Yunzhongzi, the reincarnation of the Red Cloud Ancestor.

In ancient times, the dragon, phoenix and qilin races vied for supremacy. At that time, Yuan Feng was already a powerful being at the peak of the quasi-saint level.

Now, after the passage of time, has Yuan Feng's strength stagnated, or has it advanced even further?

Although many powerful beings in the primordial world did not recognize Yuan Feng, they could still sense the incomparably powerful aura emanating from him.

Another peak Quasi-Saint? When did peak Quasi-Saints become so worthless? They can just pop up like that so easily?

Although they had long heard of the incredible strength of the human race, today, many creatures in the primordial world have only seen the tip of the iceberg.

Yuan Feng stood proudly atop Kunlun Mountain, her heart filled with emotion. How many years had it been! Once again, she would display her strength in the primordial world.

I wonder how many creatures in this primordial world still know the name Yuan Feng, and how many know the legends about Yuan Feng.

Just as Yuan Feng was feeling sentimental, a figure from Shao Hao's group stepped forward and also arrived at the summit of Kunlun.
