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

Chapter 298 is just a rat hiding in the shadows!

In fact, when Houtu and the other Ancestral Witches first clashed with the Heavenly Dao, the enormous commotion had already spread throughout the Chaos Sea.

However, at that time, Jiang Heng was still in the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, so he naturally did not sense the huge commotion.

When the Heavenly Dao clashed with Houtu Ancestral Witch and others for the second time, Jiang Heng had already left the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, so he was naturally able to sense this commotion.

Jiang Heng's expression changed instantly. With his current strength, he could easily sense that the commotion was coming from the vicinity of the Primordial World.

Whatever the reason for this huge commotion, it's certainly not a good thing for it to erupt near the primordial world.

Moreover, how could Jiang Heng not know that this huge commotion was most likely caused by Dao Ancestor Hongjun?

Dao Ancestor Hongjun has always been a great enemy of the prehistoric world, posing a huge threat to the entire prehistoric world.

Moreover, Jiang Heng was present when Dao Ancestor Hongjun broke through his cultivation in the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, so he naturally knew Dao Ancestor Hongjun's current strength.

After the assessment at the Xuanhuang Dao Palace ended, Jiang Heng had already guessed that Dao Ancestor Hongjun would definitely not let the matter rest.

Therefore, after the matter of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace was concluded, Jiang Heng immediately headed towards the Primordial World.

However, to Jiang Heng's surprise, Dao Ancestor Hongjun acted so quickly, which was not his usual style.

Originally, Jiang Heng thought that even if Dao Ancestor Hongjun were to take action, his target should be him, not the entire prehistoric world.

After all, Dao Ancestor Hongjun is now at the Sacrifice Dao Realm, a whole level higher than Jiang Heng's cultivation, giving him the upper hand in terms of strength.

As long as Jiang Heng can be killed, whatever Jiang Heng obtained in the Xuanhuang Dao Palace will ultimately benefit Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Compared to Jiang Heng, the value of the Primordial World is undoubtedly much smaller. Moreover, at most, Dao Ancestor Hongjun only destroyed the Primordial World.

Destroying the primordial world might allow Dao Ancestor Hongjun to vent his anger, but it would not bring him any benefit.

Jiang Heng was naturally unaware that after seeing him obtain the inheritance of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had actually developed a sense of apprehension towards him.

Even though Dao Ancestor Hongjun's cultivation level is now higher, he no longer dares to target Jiang Heng, and he doesn't even dare to appear in front of Jiang Heng.

Even if it was just to vent his anger, Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not go to the Primordial World in his true form, but instead sent the Heavenly Dao to destroy it.

This shows how cautious Dao Ancestor Hongjun is now, let alone having the idea of ​​killing Jiang Heng.

At this moment, Jiang Heng was still some distance away from the Primordial World. With his current strength, it would take him some time to reach the Primordial World.

This period of time was more than enough for Dao Ancestor Hongjun to destroy the entire prehistoric world. After all, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was now at the Sacrificial Dao Realm.

Without allowing Jiang Heng the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and pointed, and the Xuanhuang Dao Palace appeared in the Chaos Sea.

Jiang Heng instantly disappeared into the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, which then broke through the vast chaos and sped towards the primordial world.

With Jiang Heng's current strength, it would naturally be difficult for him to activate the Xuanhuang Dao Palace magic weapon, but it would be no problem to use it for traveling.

Moreover, given the power of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, Jiang Heng's arrival in the Primordial World will definitely not take too long.

Meanwhile, outside the primordial world, when Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, and Taiqing, the Sage, exerted all their strength and unleashed their most powerful abilities, they clashed with the Heavenly Dao once again.

An immense force surged towards the chaotic sea, with the primordial world bearing the brunt of the impact. Amidst the aftershocks of this immense power, the primordial world continued to tremble.

The primordial world was already in a state of apocalypse, and even the aftershocks were enough to cause it to collapse, with some living beings dying in the tremors.

The Sage Taiqing and the Ancestral Witch Houtu were both seriously injured in this clash, and even their own auras had weakened considerably.

What's even more disheartening is that the Heavenly Dao didn't seem to be greatly affected in that collision; it was only temporarily hindered.

In just a moment, countless arms once again enveloped the primordial world, blotting out the sky.

An aura of boundless terror enveloped the entire primordial world, and at that moment, countless beings seemed to witness the destruction of the world.

In the despair of the moment when the Sage Taiqing and the Ancestral Witch Houtu have been defeated and the entire prehistoric world is about to collapse, who can turn the tide?

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, Taiqing, and more than two hundred other saints in the primordial world all showed despair in their eyes at this moment.

They were unwilling to accept their fate, but the power of Heaven was so great that they had almost no ability to resist.

When that terrifying power struck, even if they sacrificed everything and fought with all their might, they could not stop the fate of the destruction of the primordial world.

"Hmph! Human Emperor, when you return to the primordial world, you will see that this world has been destroyed, and everything you have protected will no longer exist."

"By then, even if you possess the power to roam the world, you will likely live your entire life in regret!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun thought with a touch of smugness.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun believed he understood Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor, very well, and he knew exactly what Jiang Heng's weaknesses were.

It's clear from the fact that Jiang Heng has been protecting the human race ever since he became the Human Emperor that those ant-like beings are something Jiang Heng finds hard to part with.

Otherwise, when competing with Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Jiang Heng would not have expended so much energy constantly scheming for the human race.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was certain that when the entire primordial world was destroyed and everything he cherished ceased to exist, Jiang Heng would definitely go mad.

This was precisely the purpose of Dao Ancestor Hongjun; in his heart, only in this way could he offset the boundless hatred in his heart.

If it weren't for Jiang Heng's existence, he would have completely controlled the primordial world, and breaking through to a higher realm would have been a certainty.

With the support of the primordial world, he stepped into a higher realm. In the eyes of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he might even be able to obtain the inheritance of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace.

At that time, Dao Ancestor Hongjun might actually be able to reach the highest realm and become an unparalleled powerhouse among countless worlds.

But all of this was shattered by Jiang Heng's existence. If he could, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would naturally want to tear Jiang Heng to pieces.

But there was nothing he could do. Jiang Heng had already obtained the inheritance of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, and even if Dao Ancestor Hongjun was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.

Making Jiang Heng pay an extremely heavy price is the limit that Dao Ancestor Hongjun can do now, so he naturally wants to completely destroy the prehistoric world.

At this critical juncture, a beam of dark yellow light pierced through the vast chaos and descended upon the primordial world.

In an instant, a brilliant yellow light shone brightly, enveloping the entire primordial world and blocking the path of Heaven.

"Boom!"

The countless arms formed by the Heavenly Dao bombarded down like a blotting-out storm, but all of them landed on the primordial yellow light.

A colossal Dao Palace appeared amidst a dark yellow light, remaining unshaken no matter how the arm of the Heavenly Dao struck it.

"They arrived so quickly? Is this because of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun was slightly surprised, looking at the Xuanhuang light in disbelief.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun naturally recognized the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, and to this day, Dao Ancestor Hongjun still does not know what level this magic treasure is.

The moment Dao Ancestor Hongjun stepped out of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, he made his move, precisely to give Jiang Heng little time to react.

But Dao Ancestor Hongjun never expected that Jiang Heng would accept the inheritance of Xuanhuang Dao Palace so quickly and return to the Primordial World.

The only reason why Dao Ancestor Hongjun could return to the primordial world so quickly was the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, a magical treasure.

Moreover, judging from the fact that the Heavenly Dao had been bombarding it continuously, but the Xuanhuang Dao Palace had not reacted at all, this magic weapon was definitely extraordinary.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's judgment was correct; Jiang Heng was indeed able to return to the Primordial World so quickly because of the magic treasure, Xuanhuang Dao Palace.

Even in the vast chaos, the Xuanhuang Dao Palace could instantly traverse billions of miles to send Jiang Heng to the primordial world.

As the dark yellow light gradually dimmed, Jiang Heng's body quickly appeared, standing opposite the Heavenly Dao.

Behind Jiang Heng lay the primordial world. However, Jiang Heng did not retrieve the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, but instead allowed this magical artifact to continue protecting the primordial world.

After all, the Heavenly Dao's current strength is indeed terrifying, and destroying the primordial world would be an easy task for it.

With the Xuanhuang Dao Palace protecting it, even if Dao Ancestor Hongjun were to descend in person at this moment, he would not be able to shake the prehistoric world in the slightest.

"Fortunately, we arrived in time. Leave the rest to me!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

Behind Jiang Heng, the Sage Taiqing, the Ancestral Witch Houtu, the more than two hundred other sages, and countless creatures in the primordial world all saw that familiar figure.

It was the Human Emperor! At the critical moment when the primordial world was about to be destroyed, the Human Emperor returned! It was the Human Emperor who blocked that terrifying power just now.

Houtu and the others were about to say something, wanting to remind Jiang Heng to be careful, since the Heavenly Dao's current strength was terrifying.

But Jiang Heng simply waved his hand and gave Houtu and the others a bright smile, his face full of confidence.

At this moment, no words were needed; everyone seemed to see the invincible human emperor once again.

Throughout Jiang Heng's life, even when facing the most powerful opponents or the most difficult situations, did Jiang Heng ever suffer a defeat?

No! Never! All along, Jiang Heng has been sweeping everything aside in the primordial world with an invincible attitude.

Now, even if we face the even more terrifying Heavenly Dao, so what? That is the Human Emperor! How could he possibly be defeated by the Heavenly Dao?

At this moment, countless beings in the primordial world saw hope again and were filled with confidence, because the invincible Human Emperor had returned!

Turning his head to look at the even more powerful Heavenly Dao, Jiang Heng's face was devoid of any smile, only filled with endless rage.

The moment he saw the Heavenly Dao about to destroy the primordial world, the anger in Jiang Heng's heart was like a volcano erupting, impossible to suppress.

Why did the Heavenly Dao appear outside the primordial world? And why did it want to destroy the primordial world? Jiang Heng knew the answer without even having to guess.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was right. Everything in the primordial world was something that Jiang Heng cherished and could not bear to part with.

Countless humans living in the primordial world, as well as the ancestral witch Houtu and countless other living beings, are all beings that Jiang Heng has always protected.

If all of this is destroyed and never to exist again because of Jiang Heng, then Jiang Heng's rage could indeed burn down countless worlds.

Not only did Dao Ancestor Hongjun seize Jiang Heng's weakness, but he also successfully aroused Jiang Heng's boundless rage and intense killing intent.

If in the past Jiang Heng only needed to eliminate Dao Ancestor Hongjun because of the threat he posed to the prehistoric world, then...

Now, Jiang Heng has decided to kill Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Even if it takes all his strength, Jiang Heng will make Dao Ancestor Hongjun perish completely.

Jiang Heng now understands that Dao Ancestor Hongjun is like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows. If he doesn't eliminate him completely, it might bite him at any time.

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun, do you think that just because you don't show yourself, I can't do anything to you? No matter how well you hide, I will definitely kill you!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

Although he was facing the Heavenly Dao, Jiang Heng knew very well that Dao Ancestor Hongjun could definitely hear what he was saying.

"Hahaha! It's impressive that you got back so quickly, but do you think you can kill me now?"

Sure enough, the familiar voice of Dao Ancestor Hongjun rang out within Tiandao's body; his divine sense was indeed within Tiandao's body.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun didn't take Jiang Heng's threat seriously at all, since Jiang Heng was only an Immortal Emperor at the moment.

Even though he inherited the legacy of Venerable Xuanhuang, Jiang Heng only has the potential to reach the peak in the future, not to possess great strength now.

In the eyes of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, not to mention himself who had already broken through to the Sacrifice Dao Realm, even the Heavenly Dao at this moment was stronger than Jiang Heng.

Even though Jiang Heng has returned to the Primordial World, at most he can only protect the Primordial World with the Xuanhuang Dao Palace. Could he possibly kill the Heavenly Dao?

Besides, even if Jiang Heng had that strength, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was not outside the prehistoric world, but had already hidden in a safe corner.

Even if Jiang Heng killed the Heavenly Dao, could it possibly do anything to him? That is why Dao Ancestor Hongjun disregarded Jiang Heng's words.

"Hmph! Dao Ancestor Hongjun, if you have the guts, appear before me now and see if I have the ability!"

"You'll always just be a rat hiding in the shadows. Even if you break through in cultivation, you'll never be able to get to the forefront!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.

When Dao Ancestor Hongjun chose to conceal himself and let the Heavenly Dao destroy the primordial world, Jiang Heng already understood that the other party was afraid.

Even though he had broken through to the Sacrifice Dao Realm and his strength far surpassed Jiang Heng's, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was still afraid.

Even with boundless resentment and anger, Dao Ancestor Hongjun only dared to send the Heavenly Dao to destroy the primordial world.

Faced with such a Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Jiang Heng only felt contempt, so how could he possibly have any fear?

"Damn Emperor! I'll make you pay!"

As if provoked by Jiang Heng's words, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice became extremely angry, and the Heavenly Dao once again erupted with terrifying power.

Countless arms enveloped Jiang Heng, blocking out the sky, but Jiang Heng's face was full of disdain.
