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

Chapter 84 Donghuang Taiyi, Dare to Fight! (Two chapters combined, please subscribe)

When Jiang Heng returned to the human race, the entire human race had already entered a state of war preparedness, and ordinary human beings had been properly resettled.

This is the time when the Lich and Demon races are fighting so fiercely that the heavens and earth are collapsing. Who knows when this unprecedented war will sweep over the human race.

"Has the human race shown any unusual behavior during this period?"

After Jiang Heng returned to the human race, he immediately summoned Suirenshi and others and asked them about the situation of the human race during this period.

"Although the great war between the Lich and Demon races is earth-shattering, it has not yet affected our human race!" Suirenshi spoke first.

"But judging from the trend of this great war, it will definitely be an unprecedented war that will sweep across the entire prehistoric world!" Youchao continued.

"That's right! If nothing unexpected happens, it's probably impossible for our human race to stay out of this unprecedented war!" Cangwen said with a solemn expression.

"Stay out of it? In the course of countless eons, apart from the six sages and their disciples, who can truly stay out of it?"

Moreover, the demon race has repeatedly oppressed our human race, and countless humans have died at the hands of the demon race. How can we not avenge this grudge? Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

Apart from the time when Donghuang Taiyi suppressed the human race, during the difficult early years of the human race, quite a few humans died at the hands of the demon race.

It was only after Jiang Heng became the ruler of the human race that the human race gained a certain strength, which prevented ordinary human beings from dying at the hands of the demon race.

Jiang Heng has never forgotten the blood feud between the human race and the demons. In this unprecedented war between the liches and demons, the human race was by no means insignificant.

"Emperor Heng! The strength of the Witch and Demon races far surpasses that of our human race. If we rashly participate in this battle, it would probably not be a wise move!" said Ziyi Shi.

Suirenshi and the others nodded in unison. In their view, although the human race had become much stronger under Jiang Heng's leadership, it was still not as strong as the witch and demon races.

Of course, Suirenshi and the others were not questioning Jiang Heng's decision, but were simply discussing it with him and expressing their own thoughts.

If Jiang Heng insists on going his own way, Suirenshi and the others will definitely not say a word. If Jiang Heng points east, Suirenshi and the others will definitely not dare to go west.

This is the prestige that Jiang Heng has built up over the years by leading the human race to continuous development and growth. No one in the human race would question Jiang Heng.

Even Suirenshi and others owe their current strength entirely to Jiang Heng's help, and they have long since deified Jiang Heng in their hearts.

"You're right. The human race is still not as strong as the witch and demon races, but that's in terms of overall strength."

"You still don't realize that at the level of top experts, our human race is actually no less capable than the witch and demon races!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Suirenshi and the others were stunned for a moment, and then after thinking about it carefully, they realized that what Jiang Heng said seemed to be correct.

In terms of overall strength, the human race is naturally inferior to the Lich and Demon races, which have developed for hundreds of millions of years, and is far inferior to the Lich and Demon races.

Putting everything else aside, just in terms of the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals, the human race is completely outmatched by the Wu and Yao races; the two sides are not even in the same league.

The fact that the Wu and Yao races were able to dominate the primordial world was largely due to the presence of thousands of Great Luo Golden Immortals.

The human race, after years of development under Jiang Heng, has cultivated the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique as a whole, but so far, the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals has not exceeded a thousand.

Apart from the Great Luo Golden Immortals, the human race would still be crushed by the Wu and Yao races even among experts at the Golden Immortal, Taiyi Xuan Immortal, and Xuan Immortal levels.

There's nothing we can do about it; the human race has only been developing for a very short time, not enough to produce many powerful individuals.

However, above the level of Quasi-Saint, even compared to the Lich and Demon races, the human race is not actually at a significant disadvantage.

Suirenshi and the others all knew that Jiang Heng had survived the Heavenly Tribulation and truly entered the realm of the Great Emperor. They knew exactly what this meant.

This means that the human race now has a peak Quasi-Saint level expert, which is of extraordinary significance to the human race.

Apart from Jiang Heng, the Suiren, Youchao, Cangwen, and Ziyi clans are all now quasi-saint level powerhouses.

Yes! After Suirenshi and Youchaoshi broke through, Cangwenshi and Ziyishi also broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm with the help of Jiang Heng.

During the thousand years of silence of the human race, Jiang Heng once again accumulated a large amount of luck points, and then exchanged them for the supreme divine medicine in the system shop.

With the help of the supreme elixir, the breakthroughs of Cangwen and Ziyi were only a natural consequence.

In other words, with the addition of Jiang Heng, the human race now has five quasi-saint level powerhouses, which is not much weaker than the witch and demon races.

"Does Emperor Heng mean that our human race should send out its top experts to participate in the war between the Lich King and the Demon King?" Youchao asked.

"That's right! This time, our human race must participate in this battle, which will be the key battle for our human race to rise in the primordial world!"

By my order, all three armies of the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain armies, except for the Mountain-Bearing Army which will continue to protect the human race, shall assemble!

"Besides, the Imperial Guard has been silent for so long, it's time for them to appear before the creatures of the primordial world!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

"Is the Imperial Guard finally about to act impulsively?" Suirenshi and the others said with unusual excitement.

The so-called Imperial Guard was personally assembled by Jiang Heng after careful selection. It was not only Jiang Heng's personal guard, but also the strongest army of the human race.

That's right! It's the strongest army of the human race, because the conditions for entering the Imperial Guard are extremely harsh, even stricter than one in ten thousand.

The minimum cultivation level required to enter the Imperial Guard is the Golden Immortal realm, and only those who are unparalleled geniuses and possess unparalleled combat power can enter the Imperial Guard.

The Imperial Guard is currently small, numbering only three thousand. However, among these three thousand guards are all the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the human race.

The two hundred Grand Luo Golden Immortals represent all the Grand Luo Golden Immortals currently possessed by the human race, all of whom are geniuses cultivated by Jiang Heng at great cost.

The remaining 2,800 Imperial Guards were all Golden Immortals, and without exception, they were all at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

These people are not only all human geniuses, but they have also mastered the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique and are all extremely powerful in combat, even capable of fighting beyond their level.

Although the four armies of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain have developed over many years and are quite powerful, they are still no match for the Imperial Guard Army.

With Jiang Heng's order, the entire human race sprang into action, with the Fengbo Army, Changlin Army, and Chiyan Army being the first to assemble.

The Imperial Guards, who were originally in seclusion for cultivation, also assembled immediately. With just one order from Jiang Heng, the human elites would launch a fierce attack.

When the elite of the human race gathered, Jiang Heng stood on the high platform, surrounded by the four quasi-saints of the human race: Suiren, Youchao, Cangwen, and Ziyi.

"Many may wonder why our human race would choose to get involved when the Lich and Demon races are fighting so fiercely that the heavens and earth are collapsing?"

Jiang Heng's gaze swept across the faces of the human elites below the platform, seeing their vibrant faces and feeling their burning fighting spirit.

Jiang Heng nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Today I will tell you why our human race must participate in this unprecedented war."

The Lich and Demon races dominated the primordial world for many years due to their unparalleled strength, becoming the undisputed overlords!

However, it was through countless bloody battles that these two races gradually established their invincible reputation and eventually became the overlords of the world.

If our human race wants to truly rise in the primordial world, we must go through bloody battles and let all the creatures of the primordial world see the strength of our human race.

"Tell me, are you afraid of fighting the Lich and Demon races?" Jiang Heng said loudly.

"Fearless! Fearless! Fearless!" the human elites shouted in unison, their fighting spirit soaring even higher.

"In this battle, our human race will not only seek revenge against the demon race, but also avenge those human race members who died unjustly!"

We, the human race, also want to tell all living beings in the primordial world that this primordial world is not only home to the witch and demon races!

"I firmly believe that after this battle, our human race will be able to stand proudly in the primordial world, and will no longer fear any living being!" Jiang Heng said firmly.

"War! War! War!"

The morale of the human elite reached its peak in an instant. They roared in unison, their eyes filled with unwavering determination.

"Attack!"

After Jiang Heng finished speaking, he unleashed his full power, and a powerful aura soared into the sky. He took a step forward and headed towards the battlefield between the Lich and Demon races.

The elite human warriors all marched with firm steps, heads held high, their faces showing no fear, only a burning fighting spirit.

Jiang Heng made this decision after careful consideration, deciding to involve the human race in the Lich War.

Jiang Heng knew that once the human race participated in the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, countless human powerhouses would inevitably perish in this brutal war.

Even the four quasi-saints, including Suirenshi, might perish, but Jiang Heng still wanted the human race to participate in the Lich War.

Just as Jiang Heng said, without experiencing the baptism of blood and fire, it is absolutely impossible for the human race to truly rise.

Only through bloody battles and the baptism of life and death can the spirit of humanity be truly established, which is the most crucial factor for the future of humanity.

Moreover, and most importantly, Jiang Heng wanted to completely crush the demon race in the war between the lich and the demons, leaving them no chance of resurrection.

As far as Jiang Heng knew, although the war between the Lich and the Demon race ended with the complete weakening of both races, quite a few powerful demons survived.

In later generations, these demons all became powerful demons entrenched in the mountains and wilderness, and countless humans died because of them.

This time, Jiang Heng intends to take advantage of the Lich War to completely wipe out the powerful demons, ensuring they can no longer pose any threat to the human race.

At the same time, in Jiang Heng's heart, there was another reason why the human race had to fight, which Jiang Heng had never told anyone else.

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun! Heavenly Dao!" Jiang Heng sighed inwardly.

According to the general trend of Heaven, after the great calamity of the Lich King, the human race will flourish greatly. However, the great prosperity of the human race arranged by Heaven is not what Jiang Heng wants.

Or rather, how can a human race that is gradually becoming a puppet and gradually declining be called a great prosperity?

Since that situation is undesirable, a solution must be found. Participating in the Lich Wars will be the key to Jiang Heng's success in breaking this deadlock.

At this time, some time had passed since the war between the Lich and the Demon races began, but the two races were still engaged in fierce fighting.

Eleven ancestral witches clashed with the demon emperors Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, while other great witches fought against the demon gods of the demon race.

When Jiang Heng arrived at the battlefield, he discovered that the place where the Ancestral Witch and the two emperors of the Demon Race were fighting was none other than the famous Buzhou Mountain in the primordial world.

Mount Buzhou was formed from the spine of Pangu. It is a pillar supporting the sky, connecting the Heavenly Court with the primordial land, and is also the dividing line between the Wu and Yao races.

The Wu tribe wanted to storm Mount Buzhou and ascend to the Heavenly Court, wiping out all the demon tribes. The demon tribes also wanted to storm Mount Buzhou into the primordial land and completely exterminate the Wu tribe.

Neither side would yield, and the battle was fierce. In just a short time, countless powerful figures from both the Wu and Yao races had perished near Buzhou Mountain.

This was the will of Heaven; the Wu and Yao tribes were destined to settle their differences at Buzhou Mountain, but neither tribe could have imagined the outcome of this unprecedented war.

Jiang Heng ignored the ordinary experts of the Wu and Yao races and instead flew directly towards the battlefield where the Ancestral Witch was located.

At this time, Jiang Heng entered the battlefield between the Wu and Yao races alone, while the other human elites were waiting to be deployed under the leadership of Suirenshi and others.

Although Jiang Heng decided to involve the human race in the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, he did not intend for the human elites to die in vain. It was not yet time for the human elites to make their appearance.

When Jiang Heng arrived at the site of the battle between the Ancestral Witch and the two supreme beings of the Demon Race, he discovered that the Demon Race's quasi-saint powerhouses were not limited to the Demon Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.

There was also a quasi-saint level demon who was currently engaged in a bloody battle with the Ancestral Witches. From its dragon-headed, snake-bodied appearance, it was not difficult to tell that this demon was none other than Fuxi.

In the primordial world, all living beings knew that the sage Nuwa was born of the demon race, but as a sage, she transcended heaven and earth and was destined not to participate in the great war between the witch and demon races.

Fuxi was the elder brother of the sage Nuwa. Both were born into the demon race, yet Fuxi was destined to be unable to escape this war between the witches and demons.

Compared to Donghuang Taiyi and Yaodi Jun, Fuxi's strength is slightly weaker, but he is not far from the peak of the Quasi-Saint level.

Jiang Heng did not attack Fuxi, after all, he was the brother of the sage Nuwa, and as a human, he could not attack him out of courtesy or reason.

"Donghuang Taiyi, it's time to settle our scores. Do you dare to fight me?" Jiang Heng took a step forward and headed straight for Donghuang Taiyi.

Donghuang Taiyi was being besieged by the five ancestral witches. The two sides were fighting fiercely, and the battle was so intense that the heavens and earth were collapsing. Just when they were locked in a stalemate, he suddenly heard Jiang Heng's voice and was slightly startled.

When Donghuang Taiyi looked closely and realized that it was Jiang Heng who had arrived, he was instantly enraged and stared intently at Jiang Heng.

"Hmph! You little human race dare to come here to die?" Donghuang Taiyi said with murderous intent.

For Donghuang Taiyi, the battle he fought against Jiang Heng among the human race was undoubtedly an extremely humiliating one.

Holding the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, he was unable to defeat a mere human ruler, which was naturally unacceptable to him.

However, knowing that a great war between the Wu and Yao races was about to break out, Donghuang Taiyi could only temporarily let Jiang Heng go.

Who would have thought that the lowly human ruler would be so fearless, daring to attack him during the fiercest moment of the Lich War?

Donghuang Taiyi was furious. He gently shook the Chaos Bell, and the bell rang out with a "clang, clang," instantly shaking off the five Ancestral Witches who were attacking him.

Then, Donghuang Taiyi roared furiously, and the Chaos Bell rang out continuously, breaking through layers of space and suppressing Jiang Heng.

"You lowly human, without the protection of the Taiji Diagram, I can turn you to ashes in an instant!" Donghuang Taiyi said angrily.

Donghuang Taiyi was extremely confident; he never truly considered Jiang Heng a rival. If it weren't for the protection of the Taiji Diagram, how could he not have killed Jiang Heng?

Now, Jiang Heng has come alone, without the Taiji Diagram to protect him. How can he possibly withstand the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell?

Although the five Ancestral Witches fought back with all their might, the power of the innate treasure was simply too terrifying, and they could not stop the Chaos Bell at all.

Seeing that the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, had broken through the void and arrived, its powerful force imprisoning space and time, firmly locking Jiang Heng in place, Jiang Heng finally moved.

With his head held high, Jiang Heng took a step forward. The Chaos Bell's power, strong enough to imprison time and space, seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.

A powerful aura erupted, and five extraordinary phenomena appeared behind Jiang Heng. Only then did Jiang Heng face the Chaos Bell and throw a punch.

"Boom!"

The violent power exploded, and Jiang Heng's body uncontrollably retreated three steps, each step causing the void to shatter.

"A supreme innate treasure is nothing more than this!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

He took the Chaos Bell, a supreme innate treasure, with his bare hands. Although he was forced back three steps, the Chaos Bell was also stopped by Jiang Heng and could not harm him in the slightest.

"How is this possible? How could your strength have reached such a level!" Donghuang Taiyi was shocked, his face full of disbelief.

Just now, when Donghuang Taiyi forced back five members of the Wu clan and attacked Jiang Heng, he was already in a hurry and was unable to unleash his full strength.

But with the power of a supreme innate treasure, even an ordinary strike is incredibly powerful, so how could it be easily resisted?

But Jiang Heng blocked the innate treasure Chaos Bell with just one punch, which shocked Donghuang Taiyi.

Back then, during the battle between the human race and Jiang Heng, in Donghuang Taiyi's eyes, although Jiang Heng had the strength of a quasi-saint, he was not considered a strong person among quasi-saints.

At best, he could only be compared to a ancestral witch; such strength was simply not worth taking seriously by Donghuang Taiyi.

Just now, even under the siege of the five Ancestral Witches, Donghuang Taiyi was still able to handle the situation with ease and had the upper hand.

Donghuang Taiyi can guarantee that Jiang Heng, even if he didn't die, would be severely injured by a single blow from the Chaos Bell, a supreme innate treasure.

Given the current situation, how could Donghuang Taiyi not understand that Jiang Heng has made another breakthrough, and his strength has reached a new level compared to before?

But how could that be! All told, only two thousand years have passed since his battle with Jiang Heng.

Two thousand years is but a fleeting moment for a quasi-saint level expert; it is utterly insignificant.

Two thousand years is even further, which is simply impossible; any living being in the primordial world would consider this a fantasy.

However, the powerful aura emanating from Jiang Heng at this moment unmistakably indicated that Jiang Heng had indeed made further progress, as it was the powerful aura of a quasi-saint at the peak.

He, Donghuang Taiyi, had been gestating within the sun for countless years since the creation of the world by the great god Pangu, before finally taking human form.

After countless millennia of cultivation, Donghuang Taiyi was finally able to reach the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, becoming a top powerhouse in the primordial world.

How long has this human been cultivating? How many years have passed since the goddess Nuwa created humans?

At most, it's only a few tens of thousands of years! In just a few tens of thousands of years, one can cultivate from nothing to the peak of a quasi-saint?

Let alone Donghuang Taiyi finding it hard to believe, any living being in the primordial world would feel like they were dreaming.

"I don't believe it, you lowly human, die!"

Feeling the extent of Jiang Heng's current strength, Donghuang Taiyi was incredulous and determined to kill Jiang Heng.

Donghuang Taiyi could no longer care about the Ancestral Witches; he only knew that no matter what, he had to kill the human in front of him.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A terrifying aura erupted from the Chaos Bell, its resounding tones filling the universe with a dazzling light. Heaven and earth lost their color, and the universe trembled, revealing the undeniable power of this supreme treasure of chaos.

At this moment, one can clearly see that the sun, moon, and stars on the Chaos Bell begin to twinkle, and earth, water, fire, and wind surround it.

Within the Chaos Bell, mountains and rivers, and myriad races of the primordial era, appear and disappear. Five-colored rays of light illuminate the heavens, and the sacred might of Chaos awes the entire universe.

This is a primordial treasure. Once its full power is unleashed, shaking the primordial world is nothing. If its power reaches its limit, it can even recreate the world.

Whether it is his own cultivation or his magical treasures, Donghuang Taiyi has no flaws, and he is only one step away from becoming a saint.

Although this step is a world apart, it cannot deny the power of Donghuang Taiyi. He is a top-tier expert who truly stands at the pinnacle of the Quasi-Saint level.

Compared to the Lord of the Styx, Donghuang Taiyi is undoubtedly much more powerful, and he puts much more pressure on Jiang Heng.

However, under the immense pressure from Donghuang Taiyi, Jiang Heng found it difficult to suppress the intense fighting spirit surging within him.

In that battle, although Jiang Heng had a trump card, in terms of his own strength, Jiang Heng was naturally far inferior to Donghuang Taiyi.

If it weren't for the Taiji Diagram protecting him from the Sage Taiqing, Jiang Heng would probably have been killed by Donghuang Taiyi long ago, given his own strength.

Jiang Heng had always regretted not being able to truly fight against a top expert like Donghuang Taiyi.

Now, Jiang Heng has finally taken that step and become a complete and flawless emperor, just in time to have a fair and square battle with Donghuang Taiyi.

Facing the innate treasure Chaos Bell, which possesses boundless divine power, Jiang Heng remained fearless, and the immortal bell above his head instantly radiated immeasurable immortal light.

The five supreme phenomena merged into one, and Jiang Heng transformed into an unparalleled Heavenly Emperor. With a single punch, he unleashed the Immortal Bell, a technique that could break all laws with a single weapon.

The Immortal Bell appeared in the void, its body radiating immortal light, with endless chaotic energy descending and numerous Dao principles surrounding it. This supreme imperial weapon had been completely revived.

In terms of level, the Immortal Bell is naturally far inferior to the Primordial Treasure Chaos Bell, but the Immortal Bell contains Jiang Heng's supreme Dao.

Regardless of your innate treasures or your boundless divine power, the Immortal Bell, carrying an unstoppable momentum, crashed directly into the Chaos Bell.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar resounded throughout the entire primordial world, and a terrifying energy storm instantly swept across billions of miles of space and time.

Many of the Lich and Demon races who were fighting were instantly reduced to ashes in this terrifying energy storm, without even the slightest ability to struggle.

Even the five Ancestral Witches who were originally besieging Donghuang Taiyi had to temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack and stay far away from the terrifying energy storm.

This was just the beginning. Under the control of Donghuang Taiyi, the Chaos Bell kept crashing towards Jiang Heng, who met it with his own Immortal Bell.

The roaring sounds echoed throughout the heavens and earth. The area where Jiang Heng and Donghuang Taiyi fought had long since become a dead zone, and no powerful figure dared to approach it.
