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

Chapter 309 The Path Has No Bounds, So Does the Journey! (The Finale)

In the primordial world, a thousand years have passed since Jiang Heng left, which is not a long period of time.

However, Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, was constantly filled with worry, because Jiang Heng had left the prehistoric world this time in order to kill Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Since the Dao Ancestor Hongjun attained enlightenment during the Dragon-Han Calamity, he has remained supreme in the primordial world, dominating the fate of countless living beings.

If it weren't for Jiang Heng's sudden emergence and incredible defeat of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the primordial world would still be dominated by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

However, Houtu and the other sages were well aware that although Dao Ancestor Hongjun was defeated, it did not mean that Dao Ancestor Hongjun's strength was weak.

On the contrary, Dao Ancestor Hongjun is very powerful, especially after his breakthrough in cultivation, he has become extremely terrifying.

A thousand years ago, the primordial world was almost destroyed because of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, but at that time, Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not personally take action.

Simply by concentrating power on the former Heavenly Dao, the powerful beings of the primordial world felt a deep sense of despair.

If Jiang Heng hadn't arrived in time, the primordial world would likely have ceased to exist. How could such a Dao Ancestor as Hongjun not inspire fear?

Jiang Heng's solo mission to kill Dao Ancestor Hongjun was an extremely dangerous undertaking, so how could the Ancestral Witch Houtu not be worried?

Originally, Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, wanted to act alongside Jiang Heng, even if she was ultimately defeated by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, she still wanted to stay by Jiang Heng's side.

However, Houtu, the ancestral witch, never expected that Jiang Heng would directly take action and put her into a deep sleep.

By the time Houtu, the ancestral witch, awoke, Jiang Heng had already left the primordial world. In the vast, chaotic sea, where could she possibly find Jiang Heng?

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, naturally knew Jiang Heng's intention: he didn't want her to go on the adventure. But this also revealed something.

Even Jiang Heng wasn't absolutely certain he could kill Dao Ancestor Hongjun; otherwise, sending Houtu Ancestral Witch along wouldn't have been a problem.

On this point, Houtu Zuwu was mistaken. Jiang Heng's reluctance to let Houtu Zuwu go with him was not because he feared the strength of Daozu Hongjun.

Although Dao Ancestor Hongjun had already broken through to the Sacrifice Dao Realm, Jiang Heng still had many trump cards up his sleeve, enough to kill Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

However, the Void is too dangerous. If he were to accidentally fall into the Void, Jiang Heng could not guarantee that he would survive.

Since Jiang Heng left the primordial world, Houtu, the ancestral witch, has been somewhat absent-minded, often gazing into the depths of the Chaos Sea.

In the current primordial world, Houtu Ancestral Witch is undoubtedly the strongest, even surpassing Taiqing Saint.

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, knew very well that Jiang Heng's greatest concern was protecting the primordial world, allowing the human race to stand freely and proudly between heaven and earth.

Therefore, during these thousand years, besides worrying about Jiang Heng, the only thing Houtu, the ancestral witch, could do was to wholeheartedly protect the primordial world.

On this day, Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, once again gazed into the depths of the Chaos Sea, her eyes gradually becoming vacant, unable to recover for a long time.

"Where are you now? And when will you return?" Houtu, the ancestral witch, murmured to herself.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared outside the primordial world, and in an instant, Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, was already in tears.

As if afraid that all of this was an illusion, Houtu, the ancestral witch, dared not speak or take any action, and could only stand there in a daze.

"I'm back!" Looking at the tearful Houtu Ancestral Witch, Jiang Heng's eyes flashed with pity as he smiled and said.

Houtu, the ancestral witch, stopped crying abruptly and regained her former beauty, showing Jiang Heng a radiant smile once again.

Everything was understood without words; a smile was enough to explain everything. Jiang Heng and Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, both knew each other's feelings.

Jiang Heng did not deliberately hide himself. The moment he stepped into the Primordial World, the other powerful beings in the Primordial World sensed it.

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, was worried about Jiang Heng's safety, as were Taiqing and other powerful beings in the prehistoric world.

Jiang Heng's mission was to kill Dao Ancestor Hongjun. If Jiang Heng were to perish, it would mean that Dao Ancestor Hongjun would be the ultimate victor.

Once Dao Ancestor Hongjun becomes the final victor, the fate of the entire prehistoric world will once again be in his hands.

At that time, none of the powerful beings of the primordial world, including Taiqing, will escape death; they will all die at the hands of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Jiang Heng has safely returned to the Primordial World. The worst-case scenario did not occur, and the powerful figures of the Primordial World breathed a sigh of relief.

"What will be the outcome of the Emperor's journey?" The Sage of Taiqing asked Jiang Heng with great anticipation.

Although Jiang Heng returned safely to the Primordial World, the powerful beings of the Primordial World did not know whether Dao Ancestor Hongjun had been killed by Jiang Heng.

The Sage of Taiqing asked the question that everyone had been asking, and in an instant, all eyes were on Jiang Heng.

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun has completely perished and will never appear in this world again!" Jiang Heng said with a slight smile.

In an instant, a deafening cheer erupted, and all the powerful beings in the primordial world showed joy on their faces, some even weeping with happiness.

In the thousand years since Jiang Heng left, the Primordial World seemed peaceful, but the powerful beings of the Primordial World were always on guard.

After Jiang Heng left the Primordial World, the powerful beings of the Primordial World did not relax for a moment and were all preparing for the worst-case scenario.

In that battle more than a thousand years ago, Dao Ancestor Hongjun brought only despair to all the powerful beings in the prehistoric world.

Although they knew that if Dao Ancestor Hongjun were to reappear, they would have no chance against him, they did not want to sit idly by and wait for their doom.

Even if they have to fight with all their might, they are determined to fight to the death with Dao Ancestor Hongjun; this is the only thing they can do.

Now, with the fall of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the mountain that had been pressing down on all living beings in the primordial world has collapsed.

From then on, the primordial world no longer had to face the threat of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and all living beings would have a future full of infinite possibilities.

Even these powerful beings, without the threat of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, could potentially reach even higher realms if they continued to strive.

"Excellent! From now on, the primordial world is free!" Tongtian Jiaozhu said with great emotion.

Yes! From this day forward, the primordial world is truly free, completely freed from the shackles of countless ages.

All of this was because of the Human Emperor before them. While all the powerful figures in the primordial world were incredibly excited, their gazes towards Jiang Heng were also filled with awe.

Anyone who participated in that battle a thousand years ago knows just how terrifying the power of Dao Ancestor Hongjun truly was.

The Dao Ancestor Hongjun, whose strength was so terrifying, ultimately died at the hands of Jiang Heng. Just how powerful was Jiang Heng?

Without a doubt, Jiang Heng is already the strongest being in the primordial world, and has far surpassed Taiqing Saint and Houtu Ancestral Witch.

With such a powerful figure protecting the primordial world, even if a new crisis arises, the primordial world will surely remain safe and sound.

Moreover, with a powerful figure like Jiang Heng presiding over the Primordial World, the strong individuals in the Primordial World can see hope for continued progress.

Even those who have become saints are still extremely far from reaching Jiang Heng's current level.

Without the threat of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, veteran saints like Tongtian Jiaozhu, after a period of cultivation, have seen hope for further advancement.

Breaking through from the Saint realm to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm is no longer a major obstacle. Even reaching the Immortal Emperor realm is not without hope.

Looking at the incredibly excited powerful figures of the primordial world, Jiang Heng nodded in satisfaction. He saw hope in these people.

After slaying Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Jiang Heng had no doubt that the primordial world could continue to grow and expand, transforming into a vast world.

In fact, if there were enough powerful beings in the primordial world, it wouldn't be difficult to refine the entire Chaos Sea and create a magnificent universe.

By then, even saints would be nothing in the primordial world; perhaps only immortal emperors could be considered truly powerful.

Of course, the current primordial world is only just beginning, and there is still a huge gap between it and the vast world that Jiang Heng imagined.

But this is not a problem. Given enough time, everything will get better and better.

After the Dao Ancestor Hongjun completely perished, the most abundant thing in the prehistoric world was time. Even if it was hundreds of millions of years, what did that matter?

The situation was the same for Jiang Heng. After killing Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he was finally able to calm down and cultivate slowly.

Without the crisis, there is no need for risks. Jiang Heng can take one step at a time and continuously move towards a higher realm.

Although there were many dangers in the process of killing Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Jiang Heng gained a lot.

The mere glimpse of a mysterious hope for comprehending the laws of destruction is enough to drive the powerful beings of countless worlds mad.

Time flies, and millions of years have passed since Jiang Heng killed Dao Ancestor Hongjun and returned to the primordial world.

Over these millions of years, the primordial world was at its most glorious, giving birth to countless prodigies who reached the realm of saints.

As more and more powerful beings are born, the entire scope of the primordial world is constantly expanding. This is naturally due to the sages of the primordial world continuously refining chaos.

This is a virtuous cycle: refining chaos strengthens the primordial world, and a more powerful primordial world can give birth to even more powerful beings.

As long as this virtuous cycle continues, it's only a matter of time before the vast world envisioned by Jiang Heng truly comes to life.

In addition to the birth of more and more saints, the old saints of the primordial world, such as the Tongtian Sect Master, have also made rapid progress in the past million years.

In the past, due to the existence of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, although Tongtian Jiaozhu and others became saints, they were restricted by the Heavenly Dao and had almost no hope of advancing further.

Now, as the primordial world continues to grow stronger, the Sages such as the Tongtian Sect Master have gained immense benefits and have all broken through their cultivation levels.

The Tongtian Sect Leader and the Sage Nuwa have successfully entered the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm. Although Yang Jian and the others have not yet broken through, they are only one step away from the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

This is all thanks to Jiang Heng's preaching in the primordial world, which helped the powerful beings of the primordial world see the path forward.

The Sage Taiqing has successfully entered the realm of Immortal Emperor, and with his body merging with the Dao, his strength has already faintly touched the realm of Sacrifice Dao.

Houtu Ancestral Witch has also made great progress. Even without the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, Houtu Ancestral Witch is now a powerful Immortal Emperor.

Moreover, under Jiang Heng's constant guidance, Houtu Ancestral Witch has seen hope of breaking through to the Sacrifice Dao Realm.

As for Jiang Heng himself, after recovering from his injuries, he has been in seclusion for 800,000 years and has never emerged from seclusion.

On this very day, an unparalleled aura suddenly appeared in the primordial world, causing the entire primordial world to tremble.

At this moment, all living beings in the primordial world felt a sense of unease, and many unconsciously knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to the heavens above.

This massive commotion naturally alarmed countless powerful beings in the primordial world, and in an instant, all the powerful beings above the level of saints gathered in the heavens.

"What's going on? Such an unparalleled aura, just who is this powerful expert?"

Many newly ascended saints in the primordial world were filled with fear. Faced with that supreme aura, they instantly felt their own insignificance.

The feeling was like that of ants facing a giant dragon soaring in the sky, as if the dragon could instantly bring them to their doom if it so desired.

But they are saints. In the current primordial world, although they are not the strongest, they are still the strongest at the top.

What kind of powerful figure could evoke such a terrifying feeling in them? They pondered for a long time, but to no avail.

"The Human Emperor has broken through!" a veteran saint from the primordial world exclaimed in surprise.

The newly ascended saint did not know who this vast aura belonged to, but some veteran powerhouses in the primordial world naturally knew who this aura belonged to.

In the primordial world, only that incredible human emperor could unleash such a supreme aura.

"It is indeed the Human Emperor who has broken through!" The Tongtian Sect Leader said, his eyes filled with longing.

Yes! After 800,000 years of seclusion and cultivation, Jiang Heng finally took another step forward, breaking through from the Immortal Emperor realm to the Sacrifice Dao realm.

However, for Jiang Heng, the breakthrough in cultivation was nothing special; it was simply a natural progression.

After all, Jiang Heng had inherited the legacy of the Xuanhuang Venerable Chi Yuan, so breaking through his cultivation realm after practicing the Xuanhuang Sword Technique was nothing special.

Moreover, within the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, there are numerous magical treasures and rare spiritual herbs that aid in cultivation, making breakthroughs even less difficult.

To be honest, Jiang Heng was actually able to break through his cultivation level long ago. The reason he spent so much time was to comprehend the Law of Destruction.

After nearly a million years, Jiang Heng's hard work paid off, and he finally grasped a trace of the mystery of the Law of Destruction.

The beginning is always the hardest! After taking that first step, for Jiang Heng, the sky's the limit.

"Congratulations to the Human Emperor on breaking through to a higher realm!"

When Jiang Heng appeared in the heavens, his magnificent voice resounded throughout the primordial world, and countless beings bowed respectfully to him.

In the primordial world today, there is no living being unaware that the Human Emperor is a powerful being who protects all living beings in the primordial world and has made immortal contributions to the primordial world.

Jiang Heng looked at the vibrant, primordial world and nodded in satisfaction. This was the world he had always dreamed of.

However, all of this is just the beginning. Jiang Heng firmly believes that the primordial world will become better and better, and will become a vast world.

The same applies to Jiang Heng. The Sacrifice Dao Realm is nothing special; there are even more powerful realms above it.

The path is boundless, and so is Jiang Heng's journey. He must always go and see the scenery of the supreme world and the splendor of countless worlds.

However, that would be a completely new story!

The End!
