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

Chapter 48 The Primordial Treasure, the Taiji Diagram!

"What? You two want to come at me together? If that's really what you want, I can allow you to come at me together in this battle."

"Don't worry! As long as you two can beat me, the bet is still valid!" Donghuang Taiyi said disdainfully, looking at Jiang Heng and the other man.

Donghuang Taiyi stood tall in the sky, his powerful aura shaking the universe. As the supreme ruler of the demon race and a top expert in the primordial world, he was qualified to say these words.

"Donghuang underestimates us both too much. Since we agreed to fight one-on-one, then it will naturally be one-on-one between us!" Jiang Heng said loudly.

The battle against Donghuang is directly related to the life and death of the entire human race, so we should use every means possible.

Even though joining forces with Grand Master Xuandu might seem a bit shameful, Jiang Heng wouldn't really care that much for the sake of the future of humanity.

However, joining forces with Grand Master Xuandu doesn't have much effect. One plus one doesn't equal two, and sometimes it can even be a bad thing.

Even with Donghuang Taiyi's strength, it would be difficult for Grand Master Xuandu, who is at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, to pose any threat to Donghuang Taiyi.

Furthermore, it was a bet that had already been agreed upon. For Grand Master Xuandu, as a disciple of a sage, to join forces with Jiang Heng to fight against Donghuang Taiyi would be somewhat beneath him.

Since that's the case, it would be better to have a good, decisive battle with Donghuang Taiyi. In this way, we can also boost the morale of the human race.

"Fellow Daoist is right. Although I wish to lend you a hand, I would not be so shameless as to fight two against one!"

Grand Master Xuandu's gaze toward Jiang Heng grew increasingly kind; he was becoming more and more satisfied with Jiang Heng, the ruler of the human race.

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist?" Jiang Heng asked with some curiosity.

"This treasure was personally bestowed upon me by my master, originally intended to protect me during my missionary work among humans. I will now lend it to you for protection!"

As Grand Master Xuandu spoke, he raised his hand and waved it, and a magical treasure silently appeared. In an instant, countless rays of light and auspicious colors appeared.

"The Primordial Treasure, the Tai Chi Diagram?"

Jiang Heng's words were full of disbelief. He had never expected that the Sage of Taiqing would value Grand Master Xuandu so much, and would even give this treasure to Grand Master Xuandu.

As one of the three innate treasures, the Taiji Diagram possesses the power to pacify earth, water, fire, and wind; the power to transform yin and yang and the five elements; the power to discern the mysteries of the heavenly way; and the power to encompass all things in the universe.

Without a doubt, in the primordial world, the Tai Chi diagram is the most powerful magic weapon, possessing infinite mysteries and boundless creative power.

Having this magic weapon was equivalent to negating the Chaos Bell, a supreme innate treasure in Donghuang Taiyi's hands, which greatly reduced the pressure on Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng was under immense pressure during his battle with Donghuang Taiyi. Although he did not act rashly, he was not entirely confident of victory.

Jiang Heng definitely has a trump card, but he doesn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary.

A trump card is a trump card precisely because it has not yet been used. Once it is used, it will surely bring surprise and establish unparalleled achievements.

If possible, Jiang Heng would naturally want to save this trump card for the most crucial battle, but the current situation leaves Jiang Heng with no choice.

If he cannot defeat Donghuang Taiyi, Jiang Heng is not worried that the human race will perish as a result, nor will Heaven allow such a thing to happen.

But without a doubt, the human race will be greatly weakened as a result, which is in line with the laws of the natural order, hence this calamity for the human race.

Now that Grand Master Xuandu has entrusted Jiang Heng with the Taiji Diagram, this innate treasure, Jiang Heng has gained sufficient confidence.

Even without revealing his trump card, Jiang Heng would not be afraid to fight Donghuang Taiyi squarely.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist! If the human race can overcome this calamity, you will deserve the greatest credit!" Jiang Heng's words were truly sincere.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for this! The demon race is being aggressive. Since Master has established the Human Religion, I have a duty to protect the human race!" said Grand Master Xuandu.

Jiang Heng remained silent, which was also something that puzzled him. He hadn't expected that the Sage Taiqing would intervene in this battle.

The sage's ability is to understand the heavens and the earth. Even though the Supreme Sage is hundreds of millions of miles away from this place, he can know what is happening here with a single thought.

If the Sage of Taiqing does not wish for the Taiji Diagram to be used by Jiang Heng, then the Grand Master Xuandu lending this magic treasure to Jiang Heng would only be wishful thinking on his part.

But now, the Tai Chi diagram is already suspended above Jiang Heng's head, protecting him and showing no sign of leaving.

This is equivalent to the Supreme Sage of Taiqing tacitly agreeing to the Grand Master Xuandu lending the Taiji Diagram to Jiang Heng, allowing Jiang Heng to fight against Donghuang Taiyi.

"Perhaps it's because they don't want to see humanity wiped out by the demon race? Or perhaps there are other schemes at play?"

The minds of sages are as deep as an abyss. As the head of the six sages, it would be wishful thinking for Jiang Heng to try to fathom the thoughts of the Supreme Sage.

Setting aside his chaotic thoughts for the time being, Jiang Heng knew that this was not the time to dwell on these matters.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Heng stepped forward with the innate treasure Taiji Diagram above his head. With this one step, Jiang Heng's aura exploded.

He unleashed his cultivation at the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor without reservation, instantly opening his perfected Ancient Sacred Body and unleashing his Quasi-Saint level strength.

Five extraordinary phenomena appeared one by one behind Jiang Heng: the Chaotic Lotus, the Golden Sea of ​​Bitterness, the Splendid Mountains and Rivers, the Yin-Yang Diagram of Life and Death, and the Immortal King Descending to the Nine Heavens.

The five extraordinary phenomena intertwined, forming a vast scroll, with an unparalleled aura settling within it, as if an incredible being was being conceived within it.

"I am the supreme ruler of humanity, Emperor Heng, Donghuang Taiyi! Come and fight!"

At this moment, Jiang Heng exuded an aura of unparalleled dominance, a powerful aura that shook the universe and terrified countless demons.

At this moment, Jiang Heng made no attempt to conceal his strength, revealing it to all humans for the first time.

Among the human race, Jiang Heng's prestige is extremely high because he led the human race to continuously develop and become stronger, and also established the Heaven-Covering Emperor Law.

Among the human race, countless geniuses admired Jiang Heng and were sincerely convinced of his abilities, believing that he was an unparalleled leader who would surely lead the human race to glory.

However, there has always been more speculation about Jiang Heng's strength. Apart from Suirenshi and a few others, no one knows the exact extent of Jiang Heng's power.

When Jiang Heng revealed his strength without reservation, countless humans were shocked to realize that their human race's leader actually possessed such formidable power.

"Emperor Heng will surely win! Emperor Heng will surely win! Emperor Heng will surely win!"

Sensing Jiang Heng's immense strength, the Fengbo Army, the Chiyan Army, and the Kaoshan Army roared in unison, and then the entire human race roared in response.

The morale of the entire human race soared, and all eyes were drawn to the towering figure standing in the air.

That was their human race's supreme ruler, the unparalleled leader who led humanity to glory, and now humanity's only hope.

At this moment, all of humanity united as one, pouring all their faith into Jiang Heng alone.

If Jiang Heng wins, humanity will lose! If Jiang Heng loses, humanity will perish! Jiang Heng alone bears the fate of the entire human race on his shoulders!

"Donghuang Taiyi of the Demon Clan, I challenge you to a battle!"

Donghuang Taiyi remained calm and took a step forward. His raging solar fire swept across the void, and his powerful aura shook the primordial world.

This was the supreme being of the demon race, a top expert below the saints of the primordial world, who instantly suppressed the aura that Jiang Heng unleashed.

"The Eastern Emperor will prevail! The Eastern Emperor will prevail! The Eastern Emperor will prevail!"

Countless demons, who had been shaken by Jiang Heng, came to their senses and began to cheer loudly, their enormous voices resounding throughout the entire prehistoric world.

In the hearts of countless demons, Donghuang Taiyi, who wields the innate treasure Chaos Bell, is an invincible being. Humans? Mere ants!

Countless gazes converged on the two figures in the sky, and countless powerful beings from the primordial world were silently watching this battle.

Even the sages might turn their attention to this place to see how this battle, which concerns the life and death of humanity, will end.

Meanwhile, among the powerful figures watching this battle, two were seething with hatred, their eyes filled with resentment as they glared at Jiang Heng.

These two powerful figures were none other than the demon master Kunpeng and the Styx Master, who had a long-standing feud with Jiang Heng.

Back then, when they surrounded and killed Old Ancestor Hongyun, they were seriously injured because of Old Ancestor Hongyun's self-destruction.

That would have been fine; all they had to do was obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, and this price was nothing. But who would have thought that Jiang Heng would snatch it away?

Now, Ancestor Hongyun has been reincarnated in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, a fact witnessed by all the powerful beings in the primordial world.

Therefore, it was natural for Demon Master Kunpeng and the Lord of the Styx to believe that the Primordial Purple Qi had fallen into Jiang Heng's hands.

Back then, the Lord of the Styx had seen Jiang Heng once in the Netherworld Blood Sea, but because many Ancestral Witches were present, he did not dare to make a move easily.

Neither the Lord of the Styx nor the Demon Master Kunpeng ever imagined that Jiang Heng, who had ruined their plans, was actually a human.

If Jiang Heng were a member of the Wu clan, the Demon Master Kunpeng and the Styx Cult Leader would naturally have to think twice before trying to cause him trouble.

But Jiang Heng was just a human, an incredibly weak race in the prehistoric world. What did they have to fear?

"Good! Finally, the Ancestor has discovered your identity. You'd better pray you survive this battle so that I can avenge myself!"

The Styx Cult Leader's gaze toward Jiang Heng was filled with a sharp killing intent; he wished he could tear Jiang Heng to pieces right now.

But neither the Styx Cult Master nor the Demon Master Kunpeng believed that Jiang Heng could survive against Donghuang Taiyi.

In particular, the demon master Kunpeng knew Donghuang Taiyi's strength very well. If he were not afraid of Donghuang Taiyi, he would not have been willing to be subordinate to others among the demons.

The Demon Master Kunpeng and the Styx Master now need to consider how to seize the Primordial Purple Qi once Jiang Heng is killed by Donghuang Taiyi.

However, the thought of Donghuang Taiyi wielding the Chaos Bell gave both Demon Master Kunpeng and the Styx Master an immense headache.

After a moment's thought, the two of them walked out of their caves at the same time and headed straight for each other's caves.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the two of them will likely team up again.
