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

Chapter 305 The Worst Situation!

The Xuanhuang Dao Palace did not fully manifest; it merely emitted a dark yellow light that condensed around Jiang Heng.

But that's enough. With the power of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, even if it doesn't fully manifest, it's enough to condense a powerful protective force.

Let alone a Dao Ancestor like Hongjun at the Sacrifice Dao Realm, even for a higher-level expert, breaking through the Xuanhuang Dao Palace would be almost impossible.

This has nothing to do with Jiang Heng's strength, but rather with the inherent level of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace itself. This is a treasure that a Venerable has kept hidden away.

Although Jiang Heng's strength was completely sealed, his experience and insight were not, so it was not difficult for him to see the truth behind the huge skeleton.

In Jiang Heng's view, the huge skeleton was just enormous, but it did not have a particularly powerful aura.

This undoubtedly shows that this enormous skeleton is still affected by this world and cannot unleash too much power.

It's just that its enormous size gives this skeleton a huge advantage in this world; a single stomp can exert tremendous force.

It was precisely because he understood this that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had such a gloomy expression. He had not anticipated any of this at all, and he had miscalculated once again.

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun, you are powerless against me. Now I want to see what your fate will be!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

In the current situation, Jiang Heng is actually powerless against Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who controls the giant skeleton, but the situation has completely reversed.

In this bizarre world, how could one possibly wield a giant skeleton without paying a price?

Given enough time, unpredictable things might happen, and Jiang Heng wanted to see how Dao Ancestor Hongjun would deal with it.

Why didn't Jiang Heng bring out the Xuanhuang Dao Palace at the beginning? Naturally, it was because Jiang Heng didn't want to kill Dao Ancestor Hongjun so quickly.

In this bizarre world, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was undoubtedly the best pawn to help Jiang Heng scout the way.

This can be considered a way to make use of waste, because this strange world is obviously much more dangerous than Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Enraged, Dao Ancestor Hongjun rode the enormous skeleton and relentlessly bombarded Jiang Heng, but he couldn't break through the defenses of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace at all.

At this point, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was in a difficult situation, unable to harm Jiang Heng in the slightest despite controlling the enormous skeleton.

However, if he doesn't control the enormous skeleton, and with his own strength sealed, he will immediately die at Jiang Heng's hands.

It seemed like a dead end no matter how you looked at it. After bombarding Jiang Heng for a while, Dao Ancestor Hongjun immediately realized that something was wrong.

Ceasing his bombardment of Jiang Heng, Dao Ancestor Hongjun turned and rode the massive skeleton away, rushing towards the entrance to this bizarre world.

"Want to leave? Do you really think you can leave?" Jiang Heng didn't stop Dao Ancestor Hongjun, but muttered to himself.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun rode on a massive skeleton, covering an immense distance with each stride. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the entrance to the bizarre world.

The purpose of Dao Ancestor Hongjun is self-evident: he has realized the danger and is preparing to flee again.

There was nothing that could be done about it; Dao Ancestor Hongjun was powerless against Jiang Heng, and in the long run, he himself would be in danger.

The only chance for Dao Ancestor Hongjun to survive is to leave this world as soon as possible, return to the void, and then enter the supreme world.

But just as Dao Ancestor Hongjun was about to leave this strange world, a crimson light shot into the sky once more, and the enormous skeleton remained motionless.

"What happened? What on earth happened?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun roared in panic, his words filled with fear.

In that instant, Dao Ancestor Hongjun discovered that not only could he no longer control the enormous skeleton, but he himself was also trapped inside it.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was not stupid; he naturally knew what this unusual situation meant, and his heart was naturally filled with fear.

Just then, the enormous skeleton seemed to lose all its power and collapsed instantly, leaving only the crimson light behind.

"Who has awakened me once more!" A mighty voice resounded, and the entire eerie world began to tremble.

Within the crimson light, a phantom figure emerged, its face so blurry that it was difficult to see clearly.

This was a humanoid being. Although it was an illusory existence, just one glance at this illusory figure was enough to send chills down Jiang Heng's spine.

"The consciousness of an unparalleled being? Is it the resurrection of a fallen powerhouse? Or is this bizarre world a trap set by the other side?"

Various speculations flooded his mind instantly, and Jiang Heng's expression grew increasingly solemn. While remaining vigilant, he did not stop walking.

Unbeknownst to him, under the protection of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, Jiang Heng was already not far from the entrance to this strange world.

If something unpredictable happens, Jiang Heng will definitely unleash all his trump cards and break out of this strange world.

"Senior! It was I who discovered the blood sacrifice array and awakened you with my own blood essence!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun hurriedly said.

Upon hearing these words from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Jiang Heng felt a slight stirring in his heart. He finally understood why Dao Ancestor Hongjun had chosen to delve into this world.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun once said that Jiang Heng was just a being born in the primordial world and had no idea how big this world was, let alone its many secrets.

This statement is not wrong in itself, but Jiang Heng has already received the inheritance of Xuanhuang Venerable Chi Yuan, and is no longer comparable to before.

The Xuanhuang Venerable Chi Yuan passed down to Jiang Hengke not only numerous magical treasures and techniques, but also Chi Yuan's countless years of experience and knowledge.

Inside the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, what Jiang Heng saw was actually just a memory imprint of Chi Yuan, not the real Chi Yuan.

As Chi Yuan's memories faded, he passed on his many years of observations and experiences to Jiang Heng in the form of memories.

Compared to all sorts of magical treasures and elixirs, the experience and knowledge of a venerable one are the most precious things.

In Chi Yuan's memories, there were records of blood sacrifice formations, which were extremely complex and advanced formations.

As the name suggests, the Blood Sacrifice Formation uses blood as a catalyst and a supreme formation to guide the return of once-powerful beings.

In the primordial world, although the twelve ancestral witches died and their paths disappeared, they were not completely annihilated and still had the opportunity to be reborn.

With Jiang Heng's help, boundless evil energy was gathered, and the imprints of the twelve ancestral witches scattered throughout the world were collected, ultimately allowing the twelve ancestral witches to be revived once again.

If the Twelve Ancestral Witches were like this, then higher-level powerhouses would naturally have similar methods. Even if they perish, there is a possibility of them being resurrected.

Even though the Xuanhuang Venerable Chi Yuan has indeed completely perished, it is not entirely impossible for him to be resurrected.

When Jiang Heng reaches the supreme realm in the future, he can revive Chi Yuan again, even if it's just by relying on the memories left behind by Chi Yuan.

The Blood Sacrifice Formation is actually a formation for resurrecting supreme experts, but it is also a formation with an extremely high cost.

It is only possible to successfully set up a blood sacrifice formation by using the bloodline of the descendants of supreme powerhouses as a guide and gathering endless essence blood.

That endless essence and blood would require at least countless living beings; even all the living beings in the primordial world combined wouldn't be enough.

Because the blood sacrifice array requires not only a certain quantity of blood, but also a certain quality.

Without the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, one is not even qualified to become a sacrifice for the Blood Sacrifice Array. One can imagine how strict the requirements of the Blood Sacrifice Array are.

This explains why there are so many skeletons in this strange world; they are clearly offerings for the Bloodstained Array.

The fact that such a huge price was paid just to resurrect a supreme being speaks volumes about the power of that supreme being.

Jiang Heng didn't know what had happened in this strange world, but judging from the result, the blood sacrifice formation had undoubtedly failed.

It was precisely because of the failure that the world became the bizarre place it is today, with countless skeletons serving as the sole witness to the blood sacrifice array.

However, it cannot be said that the Blood Sacrifice Array was a complete failure, because countless years later, Dao Ancestor Hongjun reactivated the Blood Sacrifice Array.

Using his own essence and blood as a guide, Dao Ancestor Hongjun not only successfully activated the Bloodstained Array, but also reawakened the consciousness of that supreme powerhouse.

Although this is not a true recovery, once the consciousness of an unparalleled expert awakens, a complete recovery will not be difficult.

"Hahaha! I never imagined that after countless years, a being would still be able to break into this world and awaken me with its life essence!"

"This is the will of Heaven! It is my destiny to defy the heavens and return. I should really thank you!" said the illusory figure.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was also very excited to hear these words. Although things were somewhat beyond his expectations, the result was undoubtedly good.

Reviving an unparalleled powerhouse, even if it only brings him a little benefit, would undoubtedly be a heaven-defying opportunity for Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Senior, you flatter me. I merely happened to be there. I dare not take credit for it. It is your extraordinary skill that allowed me to return against all odds!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared extremely humble. In front of an unparalleled powerhouse, Dao Ancestor Hongjun indeed dared not be arrogant in the slightest.

"To thank you, offer everything you have to me! Once I have fully recovered, I will bestow upon you further blessings!" said the illusory figure.

At this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was completely dumbfounded. To sacrifice everything to this supreme powerhouse? Wasn't this tantamount to sending Dao Ancestor Hongjun to his death?

Although it might not be difficult for an unparalleled powerhouse to revive Dao Ancestor Hongjun, how could Dao Ancestor Hongjun dare to gamble?

If this supreme expert were to change his mind, after Dao Ancestor Hongjun sacrificed everything he had, he would be considered to have completely perished.

However, questioning the decision of an unparalleled powerhouse is tantamount to courting death, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun naturally did not have the courage to do so.

"I would be honored if I could help you fully recover. However, my strength is meager and my aptitude is not high."

Even if I were to sacrifice everything for my senior, it probably wouldn't be of much help in his resurrection. If it delayed his life, then I would be truly to blame!

"But senior need not worry, there is still a living being in this world who is probably very much in line with your requirements for resurrection!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun said tremblingly.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was undoubtedly diverting the trouble eastward. In this strange world, besides him, there was only Jiang Heng left.

"Hmph! It's just a creature with low cultivation level, what use is it to me?" the illusory figure said disdainfully.

Although Jiang Heng's strength is not bad, his strength at the Immortal Emperor realm is indeed somewhat lacking in the vast world.

"Senior, you may not know this, but this person, though seemingly not highly skilled, is far beyond the reach of ordinary beings!"

Take his own strength as an example. He is clearly a level lower than me, but his strength is very high. I am not even his match.

Such talent, even in the vast world, would be considered an extremely monstrous genius, and would certainly be suitable for the senior.

Moreover, this child has also received the inheritance of a Venerable One, making his value immeasurable! Dao Ancestor Hongjun hurriedly said.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun naturally did not want to sacrifice himself to a supreme being, and Jiang Heng was his only hope.

"He's a whole realm lower than you, yet you're no match for him? What kind of supreme treasure did he use?" the illusory figure asked.

"He did not use any supreme treasure. Senior, you may not know this, but this child comprehended the original mark of the chaotic universe in the inheritance of that Venerable One."

"In just four hundred thousand years, this child has unbelievably comprehended ten thousand Chaotic Universe Origin Imprints!" said Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"He comprehended ten thousand primordial imprints of the chaotic universe in just four hundred thousand years? Such talent is truly remarkable!"

"The legacy of a venerable one is of immeasurable value. This child is indeed suitable to be the vessel for my resurrection!" the illusory figure said.

It's clear that the illusory figure seems quite satisfied with Jiang Heng, which is actually quite normal.

After all, even the Xuanhuang Venerable Chi Yuan was full of praise for Jiang Heng's performance in the third level of the test, and eventually made Jiang Heng his successor.

A genius with exceptional talent, and the legacy of a venerable one—these are of immense value to any powerful individual.

"Senior is wise! With this child, you will surely be able to fully recover and reign supreme over countless worlds!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun said excitedly.

As long as that supreme expert focuses his attention on Jiang Heng instead of him, it would undoubtedly be the best outcome for Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

If everything goes smoothly, Dao Ancestor Hongjun will not only be able to witness the fall of his formidable enemy Jiang Heng, but will also be able to curry favor with an unparalleled powerhouse.

Jiang Heng saw and heard all of this, and he naturally knew his current predicament.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Heng immediately unleashed the full power of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, rushing towards the outside of the strange world.

Once they leave this bizarre world, the power of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace will be fully restored, and even if Jiang Heng is no match for it, he can retreat with ease.

"Want to leave? Do you think you can?" the illusory figure said disdainfully.

Without the other party making any move, an invisible force enveloped the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, instantly rendering it unable to move.

In the next instant, the Xuanhuang Dao Palace was pulled by an invisible force toward the illusory figure.

Jiang Heng's expression turned serious; this was arguably the worst possible situation for him.
