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

Chapter 280 The Ninth Form of Emperor's Fist: Opening Heaven and Creating Earth!

The Heavenly Dao roared repeatedly, but the power of the rules it controlled was no longer perfect, and its own power was inevitably affected.

In the primordial world, all beings below the level of a sage are mere ants, because there is an unimaginable gap in strength between sages and beings below them.

However, in the primordial world, the difference in strength between a sage and the Heavenly Dao is even greater than the difference between a sage and those below the sage level.

Let alone the perfected Heavenly Dao, even an incomplete Heavenly Dao can easily suppress any saint.

After achieving perfection, the Heavenly Dao has mastered all the rules of the primordial world, which is equivalent to controlling the life and death of the sages.

If Heaven so desires, it can completely destroy a sage. But for Heaven, which has already reached perfection, whether a sage falls or not is no longer important.

In the past, the existence of sages was to help the Heavenly Dao perfect the rules of the primordial world, so that the primordial world could be complete.

However, after the Heavenly Dao is perfected, there is no longer a need for sages to perfect the rules within the primordial world, and the importance of sages naturally declines sharply.

But Heaven never expected that the ant it had never paid attention to would deliver a fatal blow at such a crucial moment.

Led by the Sage Taiqing, and based on the imprint engraved in the Heavenly Dao, they restrict the Heavenly Dao's control over the power of rules in the primordial world.

In fact, if given even a moment's time, the Heavenly Dao could return to the primordial world and allow the sages like Taiqing to completely perish.

But he didn't have that opportunity in front of Houtu, the Ancestral Witch. He couldn't even temporarily suppress the influence of the Sages like Taiqing on the rules of Heaven.

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, has not only reached the same level as the Perfect Heavenly Dao, but her offensive methods are also exceptionally powerful.

Under the attack of the Ancestral Witch Houtu, in just a moment, the Heavenly Dao had retreated repeatedly, bearing many wounds.

This situation will only worsen as the power of the Heavenly Dao is gradually restricted. In other words, the Heavenly Dao is not far from its demise.

It was precisely because Dao Ancestor Hongjun saw this situation that his expression changed drastically, and he gathered terrifying killing intent to attack Jiang Heng with all his might.

In Jiang Heng's eyes, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was already a powerhouse extremely close to the Sacrifice Dao Realm, which was far more powerful than ordinary Immortal Emperors.

Even with the "Great Freedom of Other Transformation Method," Jiang Heng still felt unimaginable pressure when facing Dao Ancestor Hongjun in this state.

When Dao Ancestor Hongjun made his move, the entire Chaos Sea began to shake violently, and the area around Dao Ancestor Hongjun was transformed into a void.

That's because the power of Dao Ancestor Hongjun was simply too overwhelming; all space and time had been affected by his power.

A world is born with a single thought, and a world is destroyed with a single thought! This meant nothing to Dao Ancestor Hongjun at this moment.

Creation and destruction, fortune and destiny, everything, even the Three Thousand Great Daos, were altered in the face of the power of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had already taken control of everything with his own power, rendering both power and rules meaningless.

Faced with this immense power, the entire Chaos Sea seemed to be on the verge of destruction, even affecting the world where Yang Mei was located.

The world where Yang Mei was located was deep in the Chaos Sea, extremely far away from the place where Jiang Heng and Dao Ancestor Hongjun fought.

But at this moment, Yang Mei truly felt the shadow of death. At this moment, Yang Mei couldn't even perceive the existence of his own world.

It was as if an all-powerful will was erasing all traces of the world's existence, making Yangmei's world completely cease to exist.

It is clear that the power of Dao Ancestor Hongjun was not directed at Yang Mei in the world where Yang Mei resided; only a tiny, insignificant amount of power escaped and affected this world.

Even so, Yang Mei could feel the crisis of the world being erased, so one can imagine what was in front of Jiang Heng at this moment.

Without a doubt, Jiang Heng was at the core of Dao Ancestor Hongjun at this moment, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun's power was directly aimed at Jiang Heng.

At this moment, faced with the terrifying power of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Jiang Heng felt that all meaning of his existence was being negated.

All traces of his existence in this world are being erased by a mysterious and strange force, including his mental will.

When one's own existence becomes meaningless, when all traces of one's own existence are completely erased, will one still exist?

The answer is no. Faced with the power of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Jiang Heng felt his own existence gradually disappearing.

This completely erases Jiang Heng's existence from the concept itself. Such methods are not only terrifying and frightening, but also beyond imagination.

Jiang Heng's expression was solemn. The strength of Dao Ancestor Hongjun was actually within his expectations, and he had even considered worse scenarios.

After all, it was during the chaotic era, the time when the three thousand Great Dao Demon Gods had just been born, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun had already arrived in this world.

At that time, although Dao Ancestor Hongjun was seriously injured, he was already an unimaginably powerful figure.

After so many years of planning and preparation, plus countless years of recuperation, the fact that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was unable to advance any further is the best news for Jiang Heng.

Having come this far, the effort Jiang Heng himself has put in is unimaginable. At this point, how could Jiang Heng possibly back down?

A resolute expression appeared on Jiang Heng's face. Facing the incredibly powerful strength of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he resolutely took a step forward.

Without holding back in the slightest, all the power erupted from Jiang Heng's body—the full power of a Celestial Emperor.

What is a Celestial Emperor? It is the ultimate Dao! It is the end of the path! It is the limit that all living beings in the world can reach after cultivation!

Jiang Heng stood tall in the boundless void, fearlessly looking at Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and unleashed a punch without reservation.

"Imperial Fist Ninth Form: Heaven and Earth Opening!"

Once the Emperor Fist is truly perfected, it should have nine forms. However, all along, Jiang Heng has only demonstrated the first eight forms of the Emperor Fist.

The first three forms of the Emperor Fist are based on the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, respectively embodying the wrath of Heaven, the cycle of Earth, and the indomitable spirit of Man.

The three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man form the foundation for building a world. These three Emperor Fist techniques, because they embody the power of these three elements, are also incredibly powerful.

The fourth to eighth forms of the Imperial Fist embody the principles of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the power of each form should not be underestimated.

Later, Jiang Heng combined these five Emperor Fist techniques into one, mastering the Five Elements Dao, and the power he unleashed naturally became even stronger.

The reason why Jiang Heng has never used the ninth move of the Emperor Fist is not because he considers it a trump card or is deliberately hiding anything.

This is because the ninth form of the Emperor Fist has never been perfected, and even if Jiang Heng wanted to use it, he wouldn't have the ability.

It wasn't until he stepped out of the Fire Cloud Cave and became an Immortal Emperor that Jiang Heng's understanding of the Dao was truly complete.

However, it wasn't until Jiang Heng saw Houtu Ancestral Witch transform into the true form of Pangu, wielding the giant axe that opened the heavens, that the ninth form of the Emperor Fist was truly perfected.

Because the ninth form of the Emperor Fist is precisely the convergence of all the marks of creation, originating from the strike of the Great God Pangu when he created the world.

In the primordial world, Yuanshi Tianzun also used his own creation mark as a basis to strike the creation of the world with the Pangu Banner.

However, the creation of heaven and earth by Yuanshi Tianzun is unimaginably different from that of Pangu.

In the primordial world, even sages could create heaven and earth and reshape the earth, fire, water, and wind, but they were no match for the great god Pangu.

The great god Pangu truly created something from nothing, splitting open the vast chaos and creating the immense world of the primordial era.

That axe that cleaved through chaos, that axe that brought something from nothing, seemed to be the beginning of the universe, the supreme strike that cleaved the Great Dao.

It was this very strike that shattered the vast chaos, gave birth to the primordial world, and created the primordial universe we know today.

It is no exaggeration to say that if such a strike were to occur again, it would not be difficult to create a new primordial world in the vast chaos.

At this moment, when facing the terrifying power displayed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Jiang Heng gathered all his power and unleashed a world-shattering strike.

As Jiang Heng unleashed his earth-shattering punch, the entire Chaos Sea trembled, and endless chaotic energy surged forth.

Just like the power of Dao Ancestor Hongjun just now, at this moment, a power that shattered the Chaos Sea appeared.

This is the power to cleave through chaos and create the primordial world; it is the unparalleled strike that Pangu, the great god, used to break through chaos and create the primordial world.

Originally, all traces of Jiang Heng's existence were gradually being erased in the face of the incomparably terrifying power of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

But as Jiang Heng unleashed his earth-shattering strike, he himself became an independent world, completely isolated from the surrounding space and time.

In his own world, Jiang Heng became the supreme ruler, and everything in this world changed according to Jiang Heng's will.

In this world, Jiang Heng is an eternal and indestructible being. Even the power that can erase everything cannot deny Jiang Heng's existence.

But all of this was just the beginning. Jiang Heng, having created his own world, walked towards Dao Ancestor Hongjun like a supreme Heavenly Emperor.

"Impossible! How could you possibly perfectly replicate Pangu's creation of the world?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun said incredulously, a hint of fear appearing on his face.

At this moment, even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's eyes were somewhat dazed, as if he were once again the giant who created the world in the distant past.

Even when facing Pangu, who was injured by the Great Dao and exhausted after creating the world, in that battle, Dao Ancestor Hongjun still paid a heavy price.

Now, Dao Ancestor Hongjun sensed a similar power, just as strong and terrifying.

That was the first time Dao Ancestor Hongjun felt a crisis after arriving in the vast chaos, and even after a long time, he still hadn't forgotten it.

And now, the human emperor before us, with his mere human form, has not only reached his current level, but has also unleashed such an unparalleled attack.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun could not understand how this Human Emperor had grown from an ant to this level.

However, no matter how surprised Dao Ancestor Hongjun was, he felt immense pressure after Jiang Heng unleashed his earth-shattering attack.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun could only temporarily abandon all distracting thoughts and concentrate his power to its limit.

"Boom!"

Two immense forces collided in the vast chaos, and in an instant, the aftershocks of the collision spread throughout the entire chaotic sea.

Without a sound, within the chaotic sea, countless Great Dao Demon Gods were completely annihilated, and countless chaotic entities were reduced to nothingness.

Such a terrifying collision of forces would destroy even the primordial world countless times in an instant, leaving not even a trace behind.

However, both Jiang Heng and Dao Ancestor Hongjun deliberately avoided the primordial world, preventing this terrifying power from affecting it.

It's not surprising that Jiang Heng avoided the primordial world, the world where he was born, inhabited by countless humans and other creatures.

Jiang Heng naturally did not want the primordial world to be destroyed, but the fact that Dao Ancestor Hongjun deliberately avoided the primordial world made it seem rather unusual.

The Heavenly Dao has reached perfection. Logically speaking, whether the primordial world is destroyed or not, Dao Ancestor Hongjun should not care.

Moreover, if they could take advantage of Jiang Heng's concern for the primordial world, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would definitely be able to gain a certain advantage.

As long as Jiang Heng can be killed, even if the primordial world ceases to exist, what does it matter to Dao Ancestor Hongjun?

Unless the primordial world holds an extremely important place for Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he would not deliberately avoid it.

If we also consider that Dao Ancestor Hongjun remained silent for countless years, not only failing to advance further but also not fully recovering from his injuries, some things are actually not hard to guess.

The massive fluctuations did not stop immediately, but instead intensified, which undoubtedly showed that the battle between Jiang Heng and Dao Ancestor Hongjun was becoming increasingly fierce.

By this time, Jiang Heng had exhausted all his strength, gathering all his essence, energy, and spirit to engage in a final battle with Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The Nine Forms of Emperor Fist shone with boundless brilliance in Jiang Heng's hands, and he even unleashed earth-shattering blows more than once.

The two sides fought so fiercely that chaos and collapse ensued. The infinite expanse of time and space became meaningless before them, and the two even fought their way into the depths of time and space.

The river of time collapsed, space was annihilated, and in the face of the power of Jiang Heng and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, destruction was the end of everything.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was indeed powerful and terrifying. Although Jiang Heng had resisted the strange power that tried to erase him, he could only block it.

That strange power continued to erode Jiang Heng, trying to completely erase his existence, but it was moving very slowly.

The earth-shattering blow was not entirely ineffective against Dao Ancestor Hongjun, but its effect was extremely limited and could not harm the Dao Ancestor's very essence.

As a top-tier powerhouse who has existed since ancient times, the terrifying power of Dao Ancestor Hongjun is beyond the imagination of ordinary beings.

Even if Jiang Heng became an Immortal Emperor, he still couldn't gain the slightest advantage in front of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and was even at a disadvantage.

It's really hard to imagine how terrifying the power that Dao Ancestor Hongjun would unleash if he were in his prime.

Despite having the upper hand, and knowing that it would take a long time to eventually eliminate Jiang Heng, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's expression was unusually grim.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun knew very well that he could not possibly use a long period of time to slowly erode the human emperor in front of him.

Because the rules it controls are no longer perfect, the Heavenly Dao's power has been weakened, and it is already in a precarious situation in its battle with the Ancestral Witch Houtu.

Just as Dao Ancestor Hongjun was able to spend a long time obliterating Jiang Heng, Houtu Zuwu was also able to spend a long time obliterating the Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was certain that the time it would take Houtu Zuwu to obliterate the Heavenly Dao would be shorter than the time it would take him to obliterate Jiang Heng.

Once Houtu Zuwu completely obliterates the Heavenly Dao, then Daozu Hongjun will have to fight two against one, so how will he have a chance to obliterate Jiang Heng?

Moreover, Dao Ancestor Hongjun knew his own condition. This time, he disregarded his own injuries and unleashed his current power.

If this continues for too long, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's original injuries will inevitably resurface, and at that time, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's strength will certainly be affected.

Therefore, although it seems that Dao Ancestor Hongjun has the advantage now, the situation is already developing in a direction unfavorable to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

This situation became even more serious after the Heavenly Dao was injured by the Houtu Witch Clan with the Heaven-Opening Axe.

On the surface, Dao Ancestor Hongjun remained calm and continued to suppress Jiang Heng with all his might, but in his heart, countless thoughts were already running through his mind.

"I never imagined that such an incredible being could appear in the primordial world!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun sighed inwardly.

Whether he wanted to admit it or not, Dao Ancestor Hongjun knew that he had lost this game, which was originally his for the taking.

Jiang Heng was not able to hide Dao Ancestor Hongjun's thoughts from him; there was no need to guess, the current situation already explained everything.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun clearly intended to retreat, but if Dao Ancestor Hongjun wanted to retreat, how could Jiang Heng let Dao Ancestor Hongjun retreat so easily?

With such a terrifying opponent as Dao Ancestor Hongjun lurking in the shadows, even if Jiang Heng wins this round, he will probably have to be on guard at all times.

If he is not careful, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who is hiding in the shadows, will deliver a fatal blow to Jiang Heng. This is not a strange thing.

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the time has come. Let me show you my strongest attack!" Jiang Heng said loudly, his voice shaking the entire Chaos Sea.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's expression changed slightly. He couldn't believe that after fighting for so long, the Human Emperor before him hadn't yet used his most powerful methods.

This is almost impossible. The two sides are already fighting to the death. What means could they possibly have hidden until this point?

Just as Dao Ancestor Hongjun was still doubting, Jiang Heng took a step forward and stood at the highest point of a space-time continuum.

The next moment, Jiang Heng threw a punch. The punch shook endless space and time, and unimaginable power burst forth.

The nine forms of Emperor Fist emerged one by one from Jiang Heng's punch, with the power of each form of Emperor Fist condensed into one punch.

This punch is the ultimate punch that combines the nine styles of the Emperor Fist. Although it is only one punch, it is formed by the fusion of the nine styles of the Emperor Fist.

The three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man appeared behind Jiang Heng, and countless humans and other creatures from the primordial world appeared within Jiang Heng's punch.

This punch has condensed the power of humanity, and it is also a punch that condenses the power of the origin of the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity.

At the same time, this punch also carries the hopes of all humankind and all other living beings in the primordial world.

When this punch was thrown, it was the ultimate strike that Jiang Heng could unleash at this moment.
