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

Chapter 38 A Great Victory!

With the four Great Luo Golden Immortals, including the Flood Dragon Demon King and the Green Snake King, suppressed, the remaining battle was no longer in doubt.

Except for a very small number of demons who escaped, the remaining demons have been slaughtered by the Changlin Army, the Chiyan Army, and the Fengbo Army.

Even those demons who escaped were followed by elite troops of the Fengbo Army, which was also Jiang Heng's deliberate act.

Using these demons as bait, and under the surveillance of the Fengbo Army, the human race can know immediately if the demons make any moves.

After slaughtering the remaining demons, Jiang Heng led his army back to the human race, causing a great uproar among the entire human population.

This battle was the first battle after Jiang Heng established the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain armies, and it was also an extremely crucial battle for the entire human race.

Unlike the last time when they killed the rogue cultivators who were eyeing the human race, this time, the human race is facing the current overlords of the prehistoric world, the demon race.

When Jiang Heng decided to take the initiative, many humans, though they didn't say it aloud, were extremely worried.

That was the demon race, an incredibly powerful demon race. Even Suirenshi and others hesitated at first, let alone ordinary humans.

But in this battle, the human race won. Facing the overlord-level demon race, the human race not only won, but won spectacularly.

Not only were the demon race almost wiped out, but the human race itself suffered minimal losses, making it an extremely glorious victory.

Who could have imagined that the human race, struggling to survive on the primordial land, would one day be able to defeat the demon race?

Let alone outsiders, many humans feel like they are living in a dream. When will humans be able to have such strength?

Countless people chanted "Emperor Heng," and wherever Jiang Heng went, he was met with adoring gazes. Because of this battle, Jiang Heng's prestige among the human race became unshakeable.

The entire human race was engulfed in revelry, with countless people singing and dancing. If this were a dream, many would probably not want to wake up.

This is why Jiang Heng insisted on mobilizing the entire army and taking the initiative to launch this battle. The human race is currently desperately lacking in victories.

This battle will first and foremost allow the Changlin Army, the Chiyan Army, and the Fengbo Army to gain ample experience. Only through continuous battles can the human army become stronger.

Take the Changlin Army as an example. Before this battle, although the Changlin Army had initially mastered the Heavenly Court's military formations, there were still many problems in actual operation.

However, through the battle with the four demons at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals, the Changlin Army has become more adept at controlling the Heavenly Court's military formation.

More importantly, after World War I, the confidence of all three human armies had been fully established.

Confidence is the foundation of an army's enduring victory. If soldiers lack the will to fight, no matter how strong you are, you will find it difficult to defy fate.

When facing four demons at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals, the Changlin Army's momentum shifted dramatically from initial hesitation to unwavering advance.

The change in confidence alone made the Changlin Army's combat power several times stronger.

Similarly, this battle not only boosted the morale of the human army, but also benefited the entire human race.

Before this, unless the demon race took the initiative to attack, how could the human race dare to provoke the demon race?

But through this battle, Jiang Heng showed all of humanity that the demon race was not invincible and that the demon race could also be killed by humanity.

Once the fear of the demon race is eliminated, how could the human race be weaker than the demon race in battles of equal strength?

Of course, if he could, Jiang Heng would not want to provoke the powerful demon race, but this is the helplessness of the weak human race.

Can we live in peace with the demon race if we don't provoke them? Many humans might think that way, but only Jiang Heng knows in his heart that it's impossible.

In the past, the demon race might have been too lazy to bother with the human race, but now that the demon race knows that the human race can enhance their strength, will the demon race still let the human race go?

Putting aside everything else, just in order to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword, the demon race raised its blade against the human race without hesitation, and how many humans died as a result?

When that unprecedented calamity struck, humanity had no choice but to fight to the death.

If that's the case, why can't the human race take the initiative and attack now? They're willing to risk everything to bring down the emperor!

The current situation is exactly what Jiang Heng hoped to see. When the confidence of the human race is cultivated, even when facing the demon race, the human race will dare to fight.

Even if the final outcome is hard to change, there will only be humans who die standing up, and never humans who live on their knees.

Most of the human race were caught up in the revelry, but the human leaders, such as Jiang Heng, could not relax.

For Jiang Heng and the others, the most important thing now is to find out why the demon race suddenly invaded the human race.

Finding out the reason isn't actually difficult; the Flood Dragon Demon King and those four Great Luo Golden Immortal level demons are still alive.

Otherwise, these demons would have had no chance of survival; they would have been killed by Jiang Heng in front of the human race long ago.

"I'm too lazy to waste words with you. Why did you invade my human race without cause? Whoever answers first, I'll spare their life; the rest, die!"

Jiang Heng waved his hand, and the four Great Luo Golden Immortals, including the Green Serpent King, were released. He then addressed these four demon race Great Luo Golden Immortals in the following way.

Although the four demons, including the Green Snake King, were released, none of them dared to make a move in front of Jiang Heng.

Don't be ridiculous! The four of them were completely powerless to resist and were suppressed by this human with a single palm strike. What a huge difference in strength that must be!

If they dared to make any rash moves in front of such a powerful figure, they would probably be killed by his palm in the next instant.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! We originally received news that the human race had killed a lot of demons, so we came here to seek revenge."

But later, an eagle demon confidently asserted that devouring humans would enhance their cultivation, and that's when they got the idea!

No sooner had Jiang Heng finished speaking than the Green Serpent King jumped out and spoke. The other three demon clans also reacted and began to echo him, each afraid of being too slow to speak.

"Can devouring humans enhance the cultivation of demons?" Jiang Heng muttered to himself with a solemn expression.

The worst fears have come true. Although it's not the worst possible outcome, the news is still not good for humanity.

Previously, the demon race ignored the human race simply because the human race was created by the sage Nuwa, and the demon race had to give the sage some face.

Moreover, humans are weak and have little value to demons, so most demons naturally don't bother with them.

But if the demon race knew that devouring humans could increase their own cultivation, how many demon races would be able to resist such temptation?

The two supreme beings of the demon race dreamed of increasing the strength of the demon race as soon as possible so that they could defeat the witch race in one fell swoop and dominate the prehistoric world.

If the Demon Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi knew this news, no amount of respect for saints would matter; they would probably attack the human race immediately.

The only good news for humanity is that the news hasn't spread yet, and humanity still has some time to prepare.

"I've said what I needed to say, can you let me go now?"

Just as Jiang Heng was pondering, the Green Serpent King finished explaining the matter and looked at Jiang Heng expectantly.

"Since I've agreed, I naturally won't go back on my word. You spoke first, so I won't kill you!" Jiang Heng said calmly.

After saying that, Jiang Heng threw a punch, unleashing a powerful force that instantly killed the other three demons in front of the Green Serpent King's shocked gaze.

The Green Serpent King watched Jiang Heng with trepidation. He hadn't even seen how Jiang Heng made his move, yet the White Elephant King and the other two Great Luo Golden Immortals were already dead beyond any doubt.

At this moment, the Green Snake King had to be thankful that he was fast enough to be the first to tell the whole story, which saved his life.

The Green Snake King glanced at Jiang Heng again, and seeing that Jiang Heng did not react, it cautiously prepared to make its escape.

"Suirenshi!" Jiang Heng suddenly whispered.

Without Jiang Heng needing to say more, Suirenshi already understood Jiang Heng's meaning. The fire of merit in his hand transformed into a boundless sea of ​​fire, engulfing the Green Serpent King.

"Despicable humans, you break your promises!" The Green Serpent King struggled in the sea of ​​fire, cursing loudly.

"I told you I would spare your life, so I didn't make a move, but the other humans won't!" Jiang Heng said calmly.

"Despicable and shameless! My demon race will not let you get away with this! Just wait and see if my demon race will exterminate your human race!"

The Green Serpent King roared incessantly, but its voice grew fainter and fainter until it was completely reduced to ashes by the merit fire of Suirenshi.

"Emperor Heng! If what those demons said is true, I'm afraid they won't let this go easily!" Youchao said with great concern.

"I know about this matter, Suirenshi, release the demon you've been suppressing!" Jiang Heng said.

Suirenshi raised his hand and waved it, and the flame of merit burst forth, from which the Jiao Demon King, which he had suppressed, emerged.

The Demon King of the Flood Dragon was no longer as imposing as before. Not only was his aura weak, but his entire body was also covered with charred marks.

"I never expected such a powerful figure to emerge from the mere human race. I admit defeat this time. If you let me go, I can forgive and forget!"

The Flood Dragon Demon King looked at the few humans in front of him, his face still showing an arrogant expression, as if he was not the one who had just been suppressed.

"Let you go! What a joke. Do you think we humans are people who can come and go as we please?" Jiang Heng said with a sneer.

"Hahaha! I am the Demon Master's right-hand man. I am here on the Demon Master's orders. Do you dare to kill me?"

"You mere humans, if you offend the Demon Master, I could wipe you out in a heartbeat, do you believe me?" the Flood Dragon Demon King said arrogantly.

"Demon Master Kunpeng? What did he ask you to do?" Jiang Heng asked.

"It's alright to tell you. The Demon Master knows that the souls of humans are of great use to my demon race. If your human race knows what's good for you, you should offer up hundreds of millions of human beings to the Demon Master."

"I'll put in a good word for you then, and I guarantee your human race won't be wiped out!" said the Flood Dragon Demon King.

"Offer it to billions of people? You're courting death!"
