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

Chapter 46 The Flaming Banner Away from the Ground!

Grand Master Xuandu was furious. Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone the Nine-Headed Serpent, which was so aggressive.

He, the Grand Master Xuandu, was a direct disciple of the Sage Taiqing and a dignified senior disciple of the Human Sect. Yet Jiuying showed him no respect whatsoever; it was simply outrageous.

Jiang Heng and Suirenshi and the others stared blankly at what was happening before them, but in their hearts they were already overjoyed.

Things were developing just as Jiang Heng had predicted. Up until now, Suirenshi and the others felt as if they were in a dream.

The demon race has always been a major concern for the human race. Faced with the aggressive demon race, Suirenshi and others have been unable to eat or sleep properly for some time.

If the demon race were to attack, they truly didn't know how the human race would possibly defend themselves. The current human race was no match for the demon race at all!

Who would have thought that Jiang Heng, through mere scheming, would actually put Grand Master Xuandu on the opposite side of the demon race?

Grand Master Xuandu is a disciple of a sage. Once the human race has the support of the Taiqing Sage, the crisis of the demon race will naturally be resolved.

"Hahaha! Don't think that just because you're a disciple of a sage, I'm afraid of you! I want to see just how capable a disciple of a sage really is."

"If you overestimate yourself and I accidentally hurt you, please don't take offense!" Jiuying said disdainfully.

A disciple of a sage? He's just a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Jiuying is a mighty ancient ferocious beast, one of the ten great demon gods of the demon race. How could he be afraid of a disciple of a sage?

Grand Master Xuandu was furious, but he didn't say a word. He just stood proudly in front of the demon race, showing no intention of backing down.

At this moment, Jiang Heng saw that the two sides were already getting angry, but he still felt it wasn't enough. He took a step forward and was already next to Grand Master Xuandu.

"Fellow Daoist! I have already told you before that the demon race has probably believed the rumors and thinks that they can increase their cultivation by devouring our human race."

"This is a matter concerning my human race, and has nothing to do with you, fellow Daoist. Now that the demon race is powerful, you should not provoke trouble!" Jiang Heng said.

"What are you saying, fellow Daoist? Putting aside the fact that I am also of human origin, how can I turn a blind eye to the troubles of the human race?"

Besides, the demon race is so aggressive and doesn't respect the sage at all. If we don't teach them a lesson, wouldn't that be a disgrace to our master?

"Fellow Daoist, I know you mean well, but my mind is made up. I'm determined to handle this matter!" Grand Master Xuandu said firmly.

Grand Master Xuandu looked at Jiang Heng with deep affection, thinking that Jiang Heng was saying this because he was afraid that he would provoke trouble for the demon race.

What a wonderful human ruler! Faced with the arrogant and aggressive demon race, he would rather confront them alone than put himself in a difficult position.

The more Grand Master Xuandu looked at Jiang Heng, the more satisfied he became. He also remembered that it was Jiang Heng who had arranged his sermon so perfectly.

That is why Grand Master Xuandu stepped forward and chose to help the human race withstand this calamity.

Jiang Heng tried to persuade him several times, but seeing that Grand Master Xuandu was indeed determined to do so, he had no choice but to give up.

On the other side, seeing that Grand Master Xuandu was so resolute, Jiuying no longer hesitated. With a wave of his hand, countless demons charged forward menacingly.

The demon race truly lives up to its reputation as the overlords of heaven and earth. Not only are there a great many demons present this time, but there are also countless experts among them.

At a glance, the number of demons is probably no less than a million, all of whom have cultivation levels above the Immortal Realm.

Among these million demons, the majority possessed cultivation levels above the Xuanxian realm, with over 100,000 being Golden Immortals.

The human race today has less than 100,000 Golden Immortals combined, not to mention the hundreds of Great Luo Golden Immortals among the millions of demons.

Such strength is already several times that of the current human race. And this is only the demon race led by Jiuying, which can only be considered a very small part of the demon race's strength.

If the Demon Emperor Jun were to personally visit the human race, there would likely be tens of thousands of demons at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level. What would the human race use to resist?

A million demons charged in, and the human army lined up to wait. To Jiang Heng's great satisfaction, he did not see much fear on the faces of these human warriors.

This is also thanks to the battle decades ago. In the eyes of the human race, the demon race is not invincible and is no longer so terrifying.

The human warriors knew that this battle was a matter of life and death for humanity, and that as human warriors, they had no choice but to fight to the death to protect humanity.

Faced with the arrival of a million demons, Grand Master Xuandu remained calm and composed. He raised his hand and threw out a dark red flag about seven inches long.

At the same time, Grand Master Xuandu chanted: "Disrupt Yin and Yang, reverse the Five Elements, all evils retreat, and all magic cannot invade!"

The crimson flag fluttered in the wind, covering the space in front of Grand Master Xuandu, instantly making it impossible for the million demons to advance even an inch.

"The Flame Banner that Lifts Off the Ground! I never expected that the Sage of Taiqing would entrust this magic treasure to Grand Master Xuandu. No wonder he has such confidence!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.

The Flame Banner is one of the Five Primordial Banners. It is said that the Five Primordial Banners were transformed from the lotus leaves of the Primordial Lotus and are top-grade primordial spiritual treasures.

The Flaming Banner, which flies off the ground, is incredibly powerful. Using it to protect oneself makes one impervious to all magic, warding off evil and possessing countless wonderful uses.

With the cultivation level of Grand Master Xuandu, a Golden Immortal of the Great Luo Dynasty, it would be a pipe dream to try to stop a million demons on his own.

With the Flaming Banner of Lidi in hand, let alone a million demons, even if the Demon Master Kunpeng were here, he would be unable to do anything to Grand Master Xuandu.

However, as a direct disciple of the Taiqing Sage, it is normal for the Taiqing Sage to give Grand Master Xuandu several treasures for protection.

At this moment, Grand Master Xuandu took out the Flaming Light Banner and activated it with Taoist magic, instantly forming a mysterious formation that trapped a million demons within it.

Within the array formed by the Flaming Banner, the Nine-Headed Serpent roared repeatedly, its nine enormous heads spewing out water and fire.

No matter how much the Nine-Headed Serpent struggled, the Flaming Banner remained unmoved, firmly trapping the million demons within it.

In the primordial world, among those below the level of a sage, while cultivation level is paramount, possessing a supreme treasure is the key.

Look at the present, a million demons are struggling in the Flaming Banner above the ground, unable to even touch the hem of Grand Master Xuandu's robes, this is clear proof.

That demon god Jiuying was no weakling; among the Great Luo Golden Immortals, he was already considered one of the strongest, only one step away from becoming a Quasi-Saint.

Unfortunately, supernatural powers are no match for magical treasures. No matter how deep one's cultivation or how strong one's strength, it's all in vain without an innate spiritual treasure in hand.

In fact, if Grand Master Xuandu were willing at this moment, it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill all of these million demons with a mere flick of his wrist.

This is also what makes the disciples of sages so troublesome. These people may not be top-tier in cultivation, but with a sage backing them up, they are never short of powerful magic weapons.

Take Grand Master Xuandu for example. As the only direct disciple of the Sage Taiqing, how could Grand Master Xuandu be short of powerful magic treasures?

If the Sage of Taiqing bestows the innate treasure Taiji Diagram, even if the Demon Emperor himself arrives, he still cannot do anything to Grand Master Xuandu.

The million demons trapped inside the Flaming Banner had long lost their earlier arrogance and were now all dejected.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Just then, a mighty bell rang throughout the heavens and earth. Jiang Heng and Grand Master Xuandu's expressions changed simultaneously, and they looked up at the heavens.

A small golden bell broke through layers of spatial barriers and descended from the heavens to the mortal realm, heading towards the location of the Flame Banner.

"The Chaos Bell!"

As soon as Jiang Heng finished speaking, the Chaos Bell had already reached the vicinity of the Ground Flame Banner. With a gentle tremor, it knocked the Ground Flame Banner away.

The million demons instantly fled for their lives, immediately bowing down and respectfully saying, "Greetings, Eastern Emperor!"

At that moment, the Chaos Bell flew into the air and landed on the head of a majestic-looking man.

In the primordial world, only Donghuang Taiyi, one of the two emperors of the demon race, possessed the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell.

In the eyes of the demon race, the human race was an insignificant existence. No one expected that the demon race's attack on the human race would provoke this supreme being.

"So you are Grand Master Xuandu, disciple of Senior Brother Taiqing?" Donghuang Taiyi glanced at Grand Master Xuandu and said.

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi appeared as a majestic man, his voice filled with authority and an innate domineering air.

In the past, Donghuang Taiyi had also heard this in the Zixiao Palace of Daozu, and was considered a disciple of Daozu. It was not a problem for him to call Taiqing Saint his senior brother.

However, even though Donghuang Taiyi had the upper hand over Grand Master Xuandu, his tone of voice sounded like an elder lecturing a junior.

"So it is the Eastern Emperor himself who has come. Indeed, I am the personal disciple of the Sage Taiqing, and I have come to the human race to spread the Dao on behalf of my master!"

Facing Donghuang Taiyi and sensing the vast aura of the Chaos Bell, Grand Master Xuandu's expression unconsciously became solemn.

"Oh? It seems you are the human disciple accepted by Senior Brother Taiqing. No wonder you defended the human race today!" Donghuang Taiyi said.

Grand Master Xuandu felt a slight chill. Jiuying might not know his identity, but it couldn't be hidden from Donghuang Taiyi.

Now, Donghuang Taiyi speaking under the guise of being a human has put Grand Master Xuandu in a dilemma.

After all, the Sage Taiqing only sent Grand Master Xuandu to preach to the human race, not to manage the conflict between the human and demon races.

"It is common knowledge that the human race is weak, so why does the Eastern Emperor insist on making things difficult for them?" Grand Master Xuandu said helplessly.

"Hmph! Humans are weak? If humans are weak, they shouldn't be killing my demon race! Humans must pay a sufficient price to settle this matter!" said Donghuang Taiyi.

"It's better to resolve enmity than to let it fester. Could you, Donghuang, please let this matter go for the sake of your master?" Grand Master Xuandu continued to persuade.

"Hahaha! Blood debts must be repaid in blood. The human race killed my demon race, and my demon race has come to take revenge. Even if Senior Brother Taiqing were here, he wouldn't say anything."

"And what are you? If it weren't for Senior Brother Taiqing's sake, I could have annihilated you with a mere wave of my hand!" Donghuang Taiyi said disdainfully.

"So what does the Eastern Emperor intend to do today?" Grand Master Xuandu asked with an unfriendly expression.

"Today, humanity shall be annihilated!"
