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

Chapter 303 A Bizarre World!

The Void was originally devoid of all things. Everything in the world that enters the Void will slowly dissipate and never exist again.

Although Jiang Heng and Dao Ancestor Hongjun managed to resist the power of nothingness with their own strength, it was only temporary.

If they linger in the Void for too long, Jiang Heng and Dao Ancestor Hongjun will also be corrupted by the power of the Void.

At that time, their physical bodies, their primordial spirits, and even some powerful magical artifacts will all be completely reduced to nothingness.

Back then, Dao Ancestor Hongjun almost turned into nothingness. If it weren't for the Jade Tablet of Creation, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would never have been able to persist for so long.

Moreover, if Yang Mei hadn't happened to appear in the void and saved Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Jade Disc of Creation would still have turned into nothingness.

But in this seemingly empty place, a dark area appeared after Jiang Heng's sword strike.

This dark area was initially inconspicuous, but with just a moment of skill, it had already turned into a black hole.

What's even stranger is that this black hole appeared very suddenly and without a sound. Neither Jiang Heng nor Dao Ancestor Hongjun even noticed it.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was terrified by Jiang Heng's incredible sword strike and dared not continue fighting him.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun appears to be completely unharmed, but only he himself knows that his unharmed state is actually due to the Creation Jade Disc.

It was the Jade Disc of Creation that helped Dao Ancestor Hongjun block Jiang Heng's sword strike; otherwise, even if Dao Ancestor Hongjun didn't die, he would certainly have been seriously injured.

However, the power of the Creation Jade Disc is not limitless. Moreover, Dao Ancestor Hongjun has not yet fully mastered this magical treasure.

It was already the limit for Dao Ancestor Hongjun to block one attack. If Jiang Heng were to strike again, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would probably perish in the void.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun turned around to escape the void, but unexpectedly, what he saw after turning around was a huge black hole.

It was too late for Dao Ancestor Hongjun to react; he didn't even have time to struggle before being completely swallowed by the black hole.

"When did this black hole appear? Why didn't I notice it just now?" Jiang Heng was slightly startled and thought to himself.

This black hole appeared behind Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Logically speaking, it's understandable that Dao Ancestor Hongjun wouldn't notice it.

But Jiang Heng was right opposite Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and it wasn't until Dao Ancestor Hongjun was swallowed by the black hole that Jiang Heng noticed its existence.

Without any aura or fluctuation, the black hole seemed to exist, yet it truly appeared before Jiang Heng.

Even now, although Jiang Heng has seen the black hole, he still doesn't feel any fluctuations in power or any sense of danger.

Faced with such a bizarre black hole, Jiang Heng hesitated, unsure of what to do.

The black hole appeared so suddenly and so strangely. Although it didn't seem dangerous, it was definitely not a benevolent place.

Entering it rashly is probably not a good choice, but if we don't go in, what should Dao Ancestor Hongjun do?

Although it is possible that Dao Ancestor Hongjun perished in the black hole and could never reappear, this is only a possibility.

Another possibility is that Dao Ancestor Hongjun eventually escaped and harbored resentment towards Jiang Heng because of this incident.

No one knows when, but Dao Ancestor Hongjun will reappear, and he will definitely bring a devastating disaster to the prehistoric world.

Both possibilities exist, and the first one might even be more likely, but Jiang Heng would not gamble on it, nor would he dare to.

Even if there is only a one in a billion chance, Jiang Heng will not allow Dao Ancestor Hongjun to have even the slightest chance to bring disaster to the prehistoric world.

Therefore, for Jiang Heng, regardless of the possibility, he only has one choice.

Jiang Heng could not truly be at ease unless he witnessed the complete demise of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, so he had no choice but to enter the black hole.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Heng had no more hesitation and took a firm step forward, already entering the black hole.

The black hole was pitch black; nothing could be seen or even sensed.

Aside from an invisible force propelling Jiang Heng forward, he did not sense any danger.

"What exactly is this place? Why would such a place appear in the void? Or is there some connection between the two?"

Jiang Heng did not resist the invisible force and continued to move deeper into the black hole, while constantly observing the situation inside.

In a void where nothing exists, the sudden appearance of such a black hole is hardly a normal occurrence.

According to Jiang Heng's guess, this black hole should have existed originally, but for some reason, it would not easily appear in the void.

Otherwise, when Chi Yuan talked to Jiang Heng about the Void Land, he would definitely have mentioned the situation of this black hole.

Chi Yuan didn't say, which means that when Chi Yuan came to this world through the Void, he didn't actually encounter this black hole.

Even when Chi Yuan arrived in Jiang Heng's world through the Void, he didn't discover the existence of this black hole.

This undoubtedly shows that the black hole is extremely well hidden, and even a powerful figure like Chi Yuan did not discover its existence.

What does this mean? Jiang Heng was actually very clear that this black hole was not simple on the surface, and it was probably even more complicated inside.

If nothing unexpected happens, it must have been Jiang Heng's sword strike that caused the change in the void, which made the black hole appear.

Because of the existence of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Jiang Heng had no choice but to venture deep into the black hole, which was undoubtedly an extremely risky decision.

Jiang Heng continued walking in the darkness for an unknown amount of time, but he still could not find any trace of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared in the originally dark space. Jiang Heng's expression tightened, and he became secretly on guard.

As the faint light gradually expanded, a strange world appeared in Jiang Heng's sight.

In the dim world, there was only a faint light source. With the help of this faint light, Jiang Heng saw endless piles of bones.

These skeletons varied in size, some being tens of thousands of feet long, and it was unknown what kind of enormous creature they belonged to in life.

The smaller skeleton was about the same size as Jiang Heng and looked quite similar to the human race from which Jiang Heng came from.

At first glance, this dim world was filled with countless skeletons, which piled up to form huge mountains.

However, upon arriving in this world, Jiang Heng still did not sense any fluctuations in power, nor did he feel any danger whatsoever.

But in a world full of skeletons, it would be hard for any reasonably normal creature to believe that there is no danger at all.

At the same time, Jiang Heng's gaze quickly focused on a certain spot where a very familiar figure was slowly walking forward.

As expected, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was also in this strange world, and it seemed that he had arrived some time earlier than Jiang Heng, having already set foot on a mountain of white bones.

However, what made Jiang Heng hesitate was that since there was no longer any power of nothingness in this world, why was Dao Ancestor Hongjun still moving forward slowly?

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was, after all, a powerful figure at the Sacrifice Dao Realm. If he were in the Chaos Sea, he could easily traverse hundreds of millions of miles in an instant.

Jiang Heng naturally did not believe that Dao Ancestor Hongjun's current behavior was normal, which could only mean that there was something wrong with this world itself.

Seeing that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was gradually disappearing into the distance, no matter what dangers this world might hold, Jiang Heng stepped into it without hesitation.

The moment he entered this world, Jiang Heng's expression changed slightly. He felt a strange power pressing down on him.

Without a sound, Jiang Heng was horrified to discover that all his power had vanished without a trace in that instant.

He had no power left, neither in his primordial spirit nor in his physical body, and seemed to have become a mortal again.

Moreover, when that strange power descended just now, Jiang Heng clearly felt it, but he was completely unable to stop it.

Ignoring all of Jiang Heng's resistance, the power descended directly upon Jiang Heng, sealing away all of his strength.

By this time, Jiang Heng naturally understood why, even with the strength of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he had to proceed slowly in this world.

It wasn't that Dao Ancestor Hongjun didn't want to move faster, but rather that, like Jiang Heng, all of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's power had been sealed.

Without power, having become a mere mortal, what can one do in this world besides slowly moving forward?

However, at this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's behavior was also somewhat strange. Having his power sealed was no small matter.

In fact, it's no exaggeration to say that this could be fatal. Without power, the slightest danger could mean dying without even knowing how.

Even when faced with such danger, Dao Ancestor Hongjun chose to continue forward rather than leave this world.

Jiang Heng had already tried it; this world wasn't a place where you could only enter but not leave, and there was no danger involved.

With just one step, you can return to the black hole. Returning to the void through the black hole is a safe path.

Jiang Heng did not believe that Dao Zu Hongjun chose to travel in this world instead of returning to the void because he was afraid of encountering Jiang Heng.

Although Dao Ancestor Hongjun was terrified by Jiang Heng's sword strike, it doesn't mean that Jiang Heng has an overwhelming advantage.

Even if he was no match for Jiang Heng, Dao Ancestor Hongjun could hold out for a long time, and even enter the Supreme World through the Void.

Compared to this choice, venturing into this unknown and bizarre world is clearly a more unwise one.

Unless, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who arrived in this world even earlier than Jiang Heng, discovered something that would make him risk everything to delve deeper into this world.

For a powerful figure like Dao Ancestor Hongjun, there are few things that are extremely tempting, but they are not entirely nonexistent.

For example, the primordial imprint of the chaotic universe contained in the Tongtian Stele within the Xuanhuang Dao Palace was extremely tempting to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Or perhaps it's some rare elixir that could help Dao Ancestor Hongjun break through, or some incredibly powerful treasure.

If the treasure is valuable enough, it's not impossible for Dao Ancestor Hongjun to risk his life to travel through this world.

For Jiang Heng, none of these things mattered. Compared to the supreme treasure, Jiang Heng actually wanted to kill Dao Ancestor Hongjun even more.

Without any hesitation, even after becoming a mortal, Jiang Heng still chased after Dao Ancestor Hongjun without hesitation.

Although he no longer possessed any cultivation and his primordial spirit's power was sealed, Jiang Heng's speed was by no means slow.

This is the difference in cultivation methods. The Dao cultivated by Dao Ancestor Hongjun was actually also passed down in the prehistoric world.

Learning from the laws of nature and comprehending the profound mysteries of the Great Dao, this path of cultivation places greater emphasis on the cultivation of the spiritual realm.

In the primordial world, apart from the Wu tribe, almost no other living beings chose to cultivate the physical body, which was also due to the influence of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

However, Jiang Heng's foundation originated from the Dao of the Shrouding the Heavens world, which focused on unlocking the treasures within the human body, thus creating his own world.

Therefore, although he lost his powerful primordial spirit and could not even use his physical strength, Jiang Heng did not lose his realm.

If we only consider the use of one's own body, in this respect, Jiang Heng is undoubtedly superior to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Therefore, with his strength sealed, he was confident that if Jiang Heng caught up with Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he could kill Dao Ancestor Hongjun outright.

Amidst countless skeletons, Jiang Heng began to move with incredible speed, chasing after Dao Ancestor Hongjun at an extremely fast pace.

Stepping on the skeletons, Jiang Heng did not find any danger, nor did he gather any power on them.

Moreover, these skeletons looked very new, not like they had been there for a long time, but Jiang Heng knew very well that this was probably an illusion.

Jiang Heng had a vague feeling that this strange place was probably related to the Void, and that the Void had existed for quite some time.

Even counting from the time when Dao Ancestor Hongjun came to the world where Jiang Heng was, the existence of the Void Land was before the creation of the primordial world.

For Xuanhuang Venerable Chi Yuan, this might not be a long time, but for Jiang Heng, it was a long time.

Even if we start counting from that time, these skeletons under our feet have existed for quite some time, so how could they possibly remain in pristine condition?

This world is even stranger than Jiang Heng imagined, as can be seen from these skeletons, but Jiang Heng can't care about that now.

As Jiang Heng drew closer to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Dao Ancestor Hongjun soon noticed Jiang Heng, but at first he didn't pay much attention to him.

In this bizarre world, everyone's power has been sealed, turning them into ordinary mortals. What else can Jiang Heng do?

He arrived in this world earlier than Jiang Heng, and there was a mountain of bones between them.

Jiang Heng is just a mortal now, how could he possibly fly up to him? Naturally, he poses no great threat to him.

Jiang Heng could not fly, but when he ran, he was not slow at all, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun quickly realized that something was wrong.
