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

Chapter 267 Overlord!

A powerful human took a step forward and reached the summit of Kunlun, standing opposite Yuan Feng, his powerful aura erupting forth.

This human simply stood opposite Yuan Feng, and an aura of unparalleled dominance filled the heavens and earth.

"It's him? Wasn't he already dead? How could he reappear? And with such terrifying strength?"

Many humans are familiar with this powerful human who stands atop Kunlun Mountain, as he is a renowned figure in human history.

Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King, was a loser who once fought for the throne of the Human Emperor, but his defeat did not diminish the prestige of this powerful human.

With strength that could uproot mountains and an aura that could cover the world, Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King, would undoubtedly have left an indelible mark on the history of humankind if we were to speak only of his power.

The defeat of Xiang Yu was not due to his lack of strength; on the contrary, it was precisely because he was too strong that the seeds of his downfall were sown.

In his struggle against the Human Emperor of that generation, Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King, swept through the major human powers and was undoubtedly the top human powerhouse of that era.

In fact, if we only consider personal talent, Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King, would definitely be among the top in the entire history of humankind.

But this unparalleled genius lost completely in the battle for the Human Emperor because of his domineering and arrogant nature.

He ultimately met his end by self-destructing, becoming the most tragic and powerful figure in human history, and is remembered by later generations of humans.

No one could have imagined that a person who should have died would reappear in this era in the primordial world.

Moreover, the aura emanating from Xiang Yu, who was standing atop Kunlun Mountain, was so powerful that he was undoubtedly a peak Quasi-Saint.

Back then, when vying for the throne of the Human Emperor, Xiang Yu, despite his extraordinary talent, only reached the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Although some years have passed, the gap between a Great Luo Golden Immortal and a peak Quasi-Saint is still enormous.

To be able to transcend countless realms and reach the peak Quasi-Saint realm is not something that can be achieved simply by having exceptional talent; it also requires extraordinary opportunities.

"This human is quite extraordinary! It seems that Shao Hao has been planning this for a long time!" Tongtian Sect Leader said in a deep voice.

Even a sage like the Tongtian Sect Leader could say that Xiang Yu was extraordinary, so there's no need to elaborate on Xiang Yu's strength.

"It was expected. If Shao Hao wasn't confident, why would he have taken the initiative to propose this battle?" the Sage Nuwa said in a deep voice.

Before the battle even began, the Sage Nuwa had already foreseen that Shao Hao would not act without reason and would definitely have his own calculations.

Although Nezha won the battle just now, Ji Xuan, who fought on Shao Hao's side, with his peak Quasi-Saint strength, already speaks volumes.

With the backing of the Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, it was only standard practice for Shao Hao's side to casually produce some peak Quasi-Saint level experts.

Knowing all this, the sage Nuwa personally intervened, sending Nezha, Kong Xuan, and Yuan Feng to help Fuxi participate in this battle.

This was undoubtedly a very wise choice. If it weren't for Nezha's intervention in that battle, how could Fuxi's side have won?

No matter how sophisticated the methods of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao are, even if they can easily cultivate experts at the peak Quasi-Saint level, there are still limits.

After reaching the peak Quasi-Saint level, if you want to go further, you will not only need to rely on external things, but also rely more on yourself.

Yuan Feng and Xiang Yu stood atop Kunlun Mountain, neither of them uttering a single word, only staring intently at each other.

The powerful energy clashed constantly between the two, and the clash of their energy alone was enough for these two powerful individuals to understand many things.

Both Xiang Yu and Yuan Feng could see that the powerful figure standing opposite them was definitely a formidable opponent.

One was the strongest being who dominated the world in ancient times, and the other was a rising star of the human race. Both of them created their own legends.

The question of who was stronger and who was weaker was raised in an instant, and under the watchful eyes of countless living beings, an unprecedented battle erupted.

As soon as they clashed, neither Yuan Feng nor Xiang Yu held back in the slightest, unleashing their full power right from the start.

Both Xiang Yu and Yuan Feng understood that their opponents were no ordinary people. This was an evenly matched battle, so how could they possibly hold back?

Yuan Feng directly manifested his true form as a phoenix, transforming into an enormous phoenix surrounded by incredibly blazing flames.

In the past, when the great god Pangu created the world, he established the four primordial elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, thus stabilizing the primordial space.

The four innate elements gradually evolved into the five elements of the acquired five elements, namely metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

During the evolution, the four primordial elements merged and influenced each other, giving birth to three primordial divine beasts: the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the Primordial Qilin.

Yuanfeng was originally a divine beast, born with innate elements, and was born to be the ruler of all birds in the primordial world.

Whether in terms of her origins or her own strength, Yuan Feng had already stood at the pinnacle of the primordial world during the Dragon-Han Calamity.

Even powerful figures like Demon Ancestor Rahu and Dao Ancestor Hongjun used various schemes during the Dragon-Han Calamity to cause the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans to suffer heavy losses.

It is not hard to see from this that Yuan Feng's strength is absolutely powerful enough that even the Demon Ancestor Rahu and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun had to be wary of him.

Xiang Yu held a Overlord Spear, and it was easy to tell from the gleaming light emanating from the spear that it was definitely an innate magic weapon.

The magic weapon itself wasn't the key; what mattered was Xiang Yu's domineering aura and invincible momentum when he made his move.

At this moment, many humans who had only heard the legend of Xiang Yu finally understood why Xiang Yu was known as the Overlord.

Xiang Yu unleashed one spear thrust after another, each move seemingly simple, yet containing a terrifying power capable of piercing the sky and shattering the earth.

Even someone as strong as Yuan Feng could only charge left and right in front of Xiang Yu's Overlord Spear, and dared not easily confront Xiang Yu head-on.

However, Yuan Feng did not simply defend. The blazing flames around him transformed into a boundless sea of ​​fire, swirling up layers of fiery waves.

This is the core fire condensed within the immortal volcano, incredibly violent, and even a peak quasi-saint would find it difficult to withstand.

Yuan Feng had been suppressed in the Undying Volcano for countless years. Although he suffered greatly, he did not gain anything at all.

Back then, Yuan Feng was suppressed in the Undying Volcano by the Heavenly Dao Chains, and the flames in the Undying Volcano dissipated into the Chaos Sea through Yuan Feng's body.

Over time, while enduring boundless pain, Yuan Feng's body also absorbed the core fire of the Undying Volcano.

It goes without saying how terrifying the fire from the Earth's core is; it is a terrifying force capable of causing immense destruction to the primordial world.

Countless creatures in the primordial world were mesmerized by the sight; such a fierce battle was rarely seen in the primordial world.

In the current situation, Xiang Yu and Yuan Feng are evenly matched, with each having their own strengths and weaknesses.

But as the battle continued, Xiang Yu grew stronger and stronger, his domineering aura enveloping the heavens and earth, making him seem like an unparalleled overlord.

His fighting spirit grew ever stronger, and an indomitable will coalesced within Xiang Yu, making him appear as if he were a god of war.

It was this fighting spirit that spurred Xiang Yu to gradually gain the upper hand and launch a fierce attack on Yuan Feng.

"Yuanfeng has been suppressed in the Undying Volcano for too many years. Even though she finally escaped, her essence was still damaged!" said the Sage Nuwa with a sigh.

In the eyes of other creatures in the primordial world, the strength Yuan Feng displayed was already powerful enough, even terrifying.

This is not just the strength of a peak Quasi-Saint, but even a step beyond the peak Quasi-Saint level.

However, in the eyes of Nuwa and other sages, in addition to seeing Yuanfeng's great strength, they could also see Yuanfeng's flaws.

Although Yuan Feng was a powerful figure from ancient times and a primordial deity, in theory, his strength should have been able to continuously increase.

Even if one cannot reach the level of a saint, there is definitely a great chance of reaching the level of Yang Jian and Nezha.

However, Yuan Feng had been suppressed in the Undying Volcano for too long. During that time, Yuan Feng had no way to cultivate, so her strength could not increase.

When Jiang Heng finally intervened, Yuan Feng managed to escape from the Undying Volcano, but by then it was already the end of the Investiture of the Gods calamity.

Moreover, even the saints like Nuwa could see that Yuan Feng had already damaged his own essence after being suppressed in the Undying Volcano for countless years.

The source of the disease is damaged, which requires a long period of recuperation. Even if a sage personally intervenes, he can only shorten the time, but cannot immediately restore Yuan Feng to its original state.

Yuan Feng's current strength is due to the fire from the Earth's core within the Undying Volcano, not to any inherent power of her own.

Otherwise, Yuan Feng would probably have already been defeated by Xiang Yu, instead of being at a slight disadvantage as he is now.

"Xiang Yu was a man of exceptional talent, and he did not rely solely on the power of Heaven. Yuan Feng's defeat was not unjust!" said the Tongtian Sect Leader.

No sooner had the Tongtian Sect Leader finished speaking than the battle atop Kunlun Mountain changed, and a phoenix cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

At this moment, the blazing flames surrounding Yuan Feng had transformed into a sea of ​​fire, within which countless fire phoenixes manifested.

These fire phoenixes are no ordinary creatures; they are all formed from extremely terrifying flames, including Samadhi True Fire, Six Ding Divine Fire, and Nine Netherworld Ghost Flame.

Each of these flames possesses immense destructive power in the primordial world, making them a fearsome presence for countless powerful beings.

At this moment, all these blazing flames submitted to Yuan Feng's body, just as subjects were paying homage to their king.

At this moment, Yuan Feng was like an emperor in fire, displaying extremely terrifying power that terrified countless living beings.

But at this moment, Xiang Yu roared, his burning fighting spirit and domineering aura seemingly becoming tangible.

As the Overlord Spear thrust out, heaven and earth trembled at that moment, and an unparalleled aura filled the space between heaven and earth, shaking the minds of countless living beings.

From the boundless sea of ​​fire, countless fire phoenixes burst forth, charging straight toward Xiang Yu in a mysterious formation.

At the same moment, an enormous spear stood atop Kunlun Mountain, thrusting with unstoppable momentum towards the sea of ​​fire.

"Boom!"

The sea of ​​fire exploded, and a long spear crisscrossed the boundless flames, stirring up endless flames that instantly engulfed Xiang Yu and Yuan Feng's bodies.

A terrifying power swept outwards, causing countless creatures in the primordial world to unconsciously feel a sense of dread—a fear of immense power.

When the sea of ​​fire subsided, Yuan Feng's enormous body had already fallen from the summit of Kunlun, while Xiang Yu still stood atop Kunlun.

The outcome of this battle is now crystal clear. Yuan Feng, once a top powerhouse in the primordial world, has ultimately been defeated by a rising star of the human race.

For many creatures in the primordial world, this might not be an unacceptable outcome.

After all, the era in which Yuanfeng existed was too long ago, and in this day and age, there are not many beings who have heard of Yuanfeng.

Xiang Yu was different; after all, he was a powerful figure who once vied for the title of Human Emperor and left behind many legends among the human race.

Yuan Feng's defeat at the hands of Xiang Yu was like an unknown powerhouse being defeated by a renowned one.

This is perfectly normal, so there's nothing surprising about it. But for some veteran powerhouses in the primordial world, it's not like that.

Whether it was Zhen Yuanzi and Yun Zhongzi, or some core disciples of the Chan Sect, they all knew exactly what kind of existence Yuan Feng was.

As a former top expert in the primordial world, Yuan Feng's defeat at the hands of a human expert truly shocked them.

"New talents emerge in every generation, perhaps our era has passed!" Zhen Yuanzi said with a sigh.

Zhen Yuanzi's words also represent the thoughts of many veteran powerhouses in the primordial world. Although they are ancient, their strength may not necessarily be comparable to that of some newborn beings.

Yuan Feng fell from the summit of Kunlun Mountain, and Kong Xuan rushed to her side immediately, catching her as she fell.

After carefully examining his mother's injuries, Kong Xuan's expression turned extremely gloomy, and a raging fire began to rise in his heart.

Yuan Feng was seriously injured. Although her life was not in danger, such a severe injury would require a long period of recuperation to recover.

Kong Xuan entrusted Yuan Feng to Fu Xi's care, and with one step, he arrived at the summit of Kunlun, where a powerful aura erupted.

In the best-of-five match, Shao Hao's side won the second game. According to the rules, Shao Hao's side should send out a strong player first.

But Kong Xuan couldn't care less about anything else. After seeing his mother injured, only killing could quell the anger in Kong Xuan's heart.

"Come here and die!" Kong Xuan stood atop Kunlun Mountain, his voice filled with intense killing intent.

In the second battle, because Xiang Yu defeated Kong Xuan, many of the powerful figures on Shao Hao's side were cheering, their faces full of smug expressions.

But with Kong Xuan's roar, and feeling the incomparably sharp killing intent, the cheers stopped abruptly, and all eyes were focused on Kong Xuan.

There was apprehension, shock, and a hint of fear. At this moment, Kong Xuan was like a god of death, making countless living beings dare not look him in the eye.

"Hmph! Let me have my way with you!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar resounded. A figure instantly appeared atop Kunlun Mountain, standing opposite Kong Xuan.

This is a human, with a somewhat ferocious appearance, but his entire body exudes a violent and powerful aura.

Even when facing the murderous Kong Xuan, this human showed no fear, unleashing a powerful force that was in no way inferior to Kong Xuan's.

Without a doubt, this was also a peak Quasi-Saint. Judging solely from his aura, he was in no way inferior to Xiang Yu from before.

Many creatures in the primordial world have become numb. Today, peak quasi-saints are appearing one after another as if they were free.

The creatures of the primordial world were not unfamiliar with Kong Xuan. After all, Kong Xuan had also displayed his strength during the Investiture of the Gods.

It is no exaggeration to say that, compared to Yuan Feng, Kong Xuan is considered by many beings to be the strongest member of the Phoenix Clan.

The human powerhouse standing opposite Kong Xuan was unfamiliar not only to many living beings, but also to many humans.

Though not widely known, he possessed the strength of a peak Quasi-Saint. Countless beings in the primordial world had no idea how many powerful figures were hidden among the human race.

"This human? Why do I feel a sense of familiarity with him? It's as if I've seen him somewhere before?" Nuwa frowned slightly and said.

If a sage like Nuwa could feel a sense of familiarity, then it was definitely not a delusion. However, even Nuwa, the sage, found it difficult to ascertain the identity of this human.

Nuwa, the sage, understood that this human being was definitely enveloped by the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Otherwise, as a sage, how could Nuwa not see through the true nature of a human being with just a glance?

"If I'm not mistaken, this human should be the former Chi You!" said the Sage Taiqing.

Nuwa, the sage, could not see through the mystery, but Taiqing, the sage who had already entered the Heavenly Dao Realm, could see quite a bit of it.

"Chi You? That witch who was bewitched by the Western religion? He has actually been reincarnated as a human!" the sage Nuwa said in a deep voice.

The sage Nuwa finally understood where that familiar feeling came from; she was naturally no stranger to Chi You.

Back when Jiang Heng transformed into the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, he had a battle with the Western Sect, and the Sage Nuwa had also been closely monitoring the matter.

However, at that time, Chi You was merely an insignificant pawn, and didn't amount to much at all.

The sage Nuwa naturally didn't pay much attention to an ant like Chi You, and with the cover of Heaven's will, she didn't recognize Chi You immediately.

"Even if this human is Chi You, since Kong Xuan has made his move, the outcome of this battle should be fairly certain!" said the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Nuwa nodded. She had personally instructed Kong Xuan, Nezha, and Yuan Feng to take action, so she was naturally very familiar with the strength of these three.

Although Yuan Feng was unexpectedly defeated, the Sage Nuwa had enough confidence in Kong Xuan, all of which stemmed from her understanding of Kong Xuan's strength.

At the summit of Kunlun, Kong Xuan merely glanced at Chi You, too lazy to waste words, and unleashed a powerful aura that suppressed Chi You.

Chi You's expression gradually became solemn. From Kong Xuan's powerful aura, he had already sensed an unusual aura.

"kill!"

Kong Xuan could no longer suppress his anger, and a fierce killing intent suddenly erupted!
