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

Chapter 89 The Great Calamity of the Primordial World! (Two Chapters Combined)

Jiang Heng stopped the Xuanming Ancestral Witch, who was about to self-destruct, and said softly, "Leave the rest to me!"

The Xuanming Ancestral Witch had originally been prepared to die, intending to self-destruct and perish together with the Demon Emperor Jun. However, upon seeing Jiang Heng, she regained some of her senses.

However, after regaining consciousness, the Xuanming Ancestral Witch was overcome with grief when he thought of the nine Ancestral Witches who had already self-destructed.

"Hahaha! I never imagined that after dominating the primordial world for so many years, my Lich and Demon races would end up like this! How tragic! How lamentable!"

As if he had already foreseen his fate, Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, showed no anger or resentment on his face, but rather a sense of desolation.

"The demon race has dominated the primordial world for many years, and countless lives have been lost because of you. This is your own fault!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

"No need for further explanation, it's just a matter of the victor taking all! One day, your human race will probably face the same fate!" Emperor Jun, the demon emperor, sneered.

Jiang Heng remained silent. There are no eternal protagonists in the world. Perhaps in the future, things will really turn out as the Demon Emperor Jun said.

But even if that day comes, Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, is destined not to see it. From this day forward, the demon race is destined for utter decline.

With a raised hand, Jiang Heng threw a punch, showing sufficient respect to a top expert like the Demon Emperor Jun, and did not hold back in the slightest.

In the past, it would have been virtually impossible for Jiang Heng to kill the Demon Emperor Jun. In fact, the Demon Emperor Jun might have even gained the upper hand.

However, after a century of war and being injured by the successive self-destruction deaths of three ancestral witches, the Demon Emperor Jun was already at his last gasp.

Faced with Jiang Heng's punch imbued with immense divine power, the Demon Emperor Jun did not choose to close his eyes and await death, but instead chose to take the initiative and attack.

Despite his severe injuries, Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, mustered his remaining strength and once again displayed the unparalleled prowess of a Demon Emperor.

Like the Heavenly Emperor surveying the mortal realm, the Demon Emperor Jun took a step forward, preparing to deliver the final blow of his life.

For a powerful figure like Emperor Jun, even when facing death, he would face it with pride rather than surrender.

"Boom!"

The overwhelming power swept towards the Demon Emperor Jun, and the indomitable will of the human race turned into a torrent. Within the torrent, countless humans let out earth-shattering roars.

Using the third move of the Emperor's Fist, Unyielding, Jiang Heng's most powerful punch to end the life of the Demon Emperor Jun, would be the most appropriate thing to do.

This is not only a revenge by the human race against the demon race, but also a chance for the human race who have perished at the hands of the demon race to finally get their revenge.

Meanwhile, from this day forward, with the decline of both the Lich and Demon races, the era of human prosperity is about to begin.

This punch is a punch that connects the past and the future, a punch that carries on the legacy and opens up new possibilities, a punch that foreshadows a complete shift in the status of the human and demon races.

Without any suspense, under Jiang Heng's punch, which concentrated the ultimate power, the Demon Emperor Jun's last strength collapsed instantly.

The overwhelming power surged towards the Demon Emperor Jun, and in this vast torrent of humanity, the Demon Emperor Jun had no chance of survival.

Seeing that the Demon Emperor Jun could only close his eyes and wait for death, suddenly, a ferocious look appeared on the Demon Emperor Jun's face.

The demon emperor, Emperor Jun, with a ferocious expression, suddenly unleashed an extremely powerful and violent force within his body.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The demon emperor, Emperor Jun, roared furiously and incredibly broke through the torrent of humanity unleashed by Jiang Heng, charging towards Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng frowned slightly. The strangeness of the Demon Emperor Jun made him feel something was wrong. This did not seem to be the power of the Demon Emperor Jun himself.

Before Jiang Heng could think further, the Demon Emperor Jun had already broken through the torrent of humanity and was charging towards him, a terrifying power gathering on his body.

Jiang Heng was instantly startled; this was clearly a sign of self-destruction. Was the Demon Emperor Jun trying to drag him down with him?

But Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, was clearly at his limit. How could he still unleash such power? How could he break through the torrent of humanity?

Despite having many questions in his mind, Jiang Heng could only first summon the Immortal Bell, which cast endless immortal light to protect himself.

At the same time, Jiang Heng instantly condensed the Secret of Movement, entering a state of extreme time speed, and tried to get as far away as possible from the somewhat strange Demon Emperor Jun.

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, was in a state of severe injury and near death. Even though he unleashed incredible power, it was only for a moment.

Jiang Heng, who had entered a state of extreme speed, was completely out of reach of the Demon Emperor Jun, but the Demon Emperor Jun was still rushing forward with great strides.

Whether it was a coincidence or something preordained, the Demon Emperor Jun actually lunged at the Ancestral Witch Gonggong.

As one of the only two surviving Ancestral Witches, Gonggong instantly entered a state of rage upon seeing the Demon Emperor Jun.

When facing the Demon Emperor Jun, the Ancestral Witch Gonggong did not dodge or avoid him, but instead charged towards him.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar resounded as the bodies of the Demon Emperor Jun and the Ancestral Witch Gonggong became entangled and plummeted together towards the primordial land.

The route from the Heavenly Court to the Primordial Land inevitably passes through Mount Buzhou, the pillar supporting the sky. Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, and the Ancestral Witch Lord fell near Mount Buzhou.

In an instant, both the Ancestral Witch Gonggong and the Demon Emperor Jun chose to self-destruct, and the huge roar instantly resounded throughout the entire prehistoric world.

Watching all this, Jiang Heng's expression turned extremely gloomy. Because in the self-destruction of the Ancestral Witch Gonggong and the Demon Emperor Jun, Mount Buzhou collapsed.

The simultaneous self-destruction of the Ancestral Witch and the Demon Emperor was incredibly powerful, causing Mount Buzhou to collapse, which seemed perfectly reasonable.

But Buzhou Mountain is the spine of the great god Pangu. It is not only a pillar supporting the sky, but also contains the will of Pangu. How could it collapse so easily?

Even if the ancestral witch Gonggong and the demon emperor Jun were to self-destruct at the same time, it would be impossible for Buzhou Mountain to collapse even if the power of the innate supreme treasure were fully unleashed.

But in front of Jiang Heng, Mount Buzhou still collapsed, collapsed so naturally, collapsed so easily.

Since Jiang Heng transmigrated to the prehistoric world, he has completely changed the situation of the human race and influenced many things in the prehistoric world.

But the Lich War still broke out as historically expected, and the outcome remained almost unchanged.

The Wu and Yao races suffered heavy losses, with the Yao Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi both dying. Of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, only Xuanming Ancestral Witch remains.

Even Buzhou Mountain, which should have been broken by the ancestral god Gonggong, collapsed completely in a different way.

Jiang Heng sighed helplessly. He knew that there was always an invisible hand controlling everything, which was perhaps what was called destiny.

Jiang Heng completely suppressed his unnecessary emotions, and once again reached out his large hand, enveloping the spot where the Demon Emperor Jun had just self-destructed.

Although the Demon Emperor Jun has completely perished, his innate spiritual treasure, the Hetu Luoshu, was not destroyed in the self-destruction just now.

The Hetu and Luoshu are not only key to setting up the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Array, but will also play an extremely important role when the human race prospers in the future.

Jiang Heng would naturally not give up such a treasure, which is why he reached out his hand, wanting to seize it for himself first.

Unfortunately, it still took Jiang Heng too much time to break through the Hunyuan Heluo Formation. After Donghuang Taiyi's death, the innate treasure Chaos Bell had disappeared.

Innate treasures are treasures that even saints desire; their value in the primordial world is immeasurable.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Chaos Bell has probably already plunged into the Chaos Sea and disappeared into the vast chaos.

The Chaos Sea is vast and boundless. Even if a sage were to venture deep into it, finding traces of the Chaos Bell would be extremely difficult.

Moreover, given the power of the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, even a saint would find it difficult to forcibly suppress it if the innate treasure did not wish to be subdued.

Jiang Heng had also made some plans regarding the Chaos Bell, a supreme innate treasure, and had even left behind some tricks, which might present an opportunity in the future.

Leaving that aside for now, as Jiang Heng's large hand reached out to envelop the Hetu Luoshui River, a faint light beat him to it.

Suddenly, this eerie light appeared near Mount Buzhou, as if it had been hidden there all along. It rolled up the Hetu and Luoshu and flew towards the heavens.

"How dare you show your face like this! You really don't know what's good for you!" Jiang Heng said with disdain.

With a flick of his wrist, Jiang Heng turned the world upside down. Although the dark light was extremely fast, Jiang Heng was even faster.

Just as the faint light was about to soar into the sky, it was already enveloped by Jiang Heng's colossal palm, leaving it with no chance of escape.

The giant hand instantly closed, and both the dark light and the Hetu Luoshu fell into Jiang Heng's control.

"Demon Master Kunpeng, you really haven't given up your evil intentions!" Jiang Heng sneered and said disdainfully.

The faint light just now belonged to the Demon Master Kunpeng, just like it was near the Six Paths of Reincarnation. This was also a wisp of the Demon Master Kunpeng's spirit.

Since his physical body was destroyed by Jiang Heng among the human race, the demon master Kunpeng has completely gone into hiding, and no one knows where he is hiding in some dark corner.

According to Jiang Heng's estimation, given the cautious and prudent nature of the demon master Kunpeng, he is probably no longer in the primordial world.

The most likely explanation is that the Demon Master Kunpeng has escaped to the vast Chaos Sea, which is the only place where he can be considered safe.

It can be said that the demon master Kunpeng still had some self-awareness; otherwise, if he had stayed in the prehistoric world, how could he have become a fish that slipped through the net in the war between the witches and demons?

Even in such a state, the Demon Master Kunpeng remained treacherous, constantly stirring up trouble in the primordial world, never stopping.

The one who tried to scheme against Jiang Heng near the Six Paths of Reincarnation last time was the Demon Master Kunpeng, and the one who wants to seize the Hetu Luoshu now is still the Demon Master Kunpeng.

"Hmph! You really think I can't do anything to you? Two split souls are enough!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.

The demon master Kunpeng thought that since his true body was in the Chaos Sea, he could be foolproof by using a divided spirit to plot and scheme in the primordial world.

Little did they know that even if it was just a glimpse of his spirit, it still contained the power of the Demon Master Kunpeng and bore his mark.

With this trace, finding the Demon Master Kunpeng in the vast Chaos Sea is still difficult, but not without hope.

The demon master Kunpeng is extremely skilled in all sorts of schemes and plots, and keeping him around is always a hidden danger that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Otherwise, although Jiang Heng is not afraid of the various schemes and plots of the demon master Kunpeng, it is hard to guarantee that the human race will not be in trouble because of this.

Once Jiang Heng has finished dealing with matters in the prehistoric world, he can head to the Chaos Sea and search for traces of the Chaos Bell.

"The Lich War is over. Lead the remaining members of the Witch Clan back to the Six Paths of Reincarnation! As long as they remain within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Witch Clan will not perish!"

After acquiring the Hetu and Luoshu, Jiang Heng approached Xuanming, the last remaining ancestral witch of the Wu clan, and spoke softly.

"The Witch Clan will not perish? What's the point of our Witch Clan being destroyed or not now that we've reached this state?" the Ancestral Witch Xuanming said sadly.

At this time, with the fall of the Demon Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, the ten Ancestral Witches also self-destructed and died, and the war between the Witch and the Demon gradually came to an end.

Both the demon race and the witch race have suffered heavy losses. Almost all the powerful figures at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal, such as the Demon God and the Great Witch, have been killed or wounded.

However, the human elite, protected by four quasi-saints of the Suiren clan, suffered some losses, but the losses were not significant.

The once dominant Wu and Yao races have begun to decline after this battle.

Compared to the demon race, the situation of the witch race is undoubtedly better. After all, the witch race still has the Xuanming Ancestral Witch who survived, and it also has a foundation such as the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Under the leadership of the Xuanming Ancestral Witch, as long as the Witch Clan remains law-abiding within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, there will be virtually no more crisis of extinction.

As for the demon race, the elite human forces led by the four quasi-saints, including Suirenshi, are still relentlessly pursuing the demons who participated.

Of the Quasi-Saint level powerhouses, only the Demon Master Kunpeng, who escaped into the Chaos Sea, remained; the Demon Bodies at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level were almost all killed or injured.

The remaining ones are just some weak demons, no longer a threat, and unlikely to pose any real threat to the future human race.

"There is always a glimmer of hope in everything between heaven and earth. Just stay in the cycle of reincarnation and everything will be alright with me!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

Whether or not he understood the meaning behind Jiang Heng's words, the Xuanming Ancestral Witch nodded and began to gather the remaining witch clan members.

As the only surviving Ancestral Witch, Xuanming Ancestral Witch knew she bore a heavy responsibility; the future of the Witch Clan would still depend on her.

The carefree, lively, and energetic boy we used to know is probably gone forever; this is perhaps the price we have to pay for growing up.

Xuanming Ancestral Witch led the remaining witch clan to retreat into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, while Suirenshi and others led the human elite to hunt down the remnants of the demon clan.

For all other living beings in the primordial world, an unprecedented calamity had already descended the moment Mount Buzhou collapsed.

After the great god Pangu separated heaven and earth, to prevent the heavens and earth from closing up again, he supported the sky with his hands and stood on the earth with his feet, thus creating the world we know today.

After the death of the great god Pangu, his spine transformed into Mount Buzhou, becoming a crucial element supporting the heavens and the earth in the primordial world.

With Mount Buzhou collapsing, the world lost its vital support, and the primordial world will once again merge and return to chaos.

At the moment Buzhou Mountain collapsed, the entire primordial world trembled and roared, as if the heavens and earth were wailing in pain.

The sky began to tilt from the northwest corner of the primordial world, and the entire primordial world began to collapse and sink. This was the true end of the world.

Suddenly, a huge hole appeared in the tilted sky, and the waters of the Milky Way poured down, flooding vast swathes of the land.

The waters of the Milky Way are weak waters; wherever they flow, not even a feather can float, and birds cannot fly over them. Ordinary creatures that fall into them will quickly perish.

Even a Taiyi Golden Immortal trapped in the Weak Water would find it difficult to escape, and would only have his flesh and spirit corroded by the Weak Water, thus dying and disappearing from the cycle of reincarnation.

In a very short time, the vast and desolate land within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles had become a boundless ocean, and countless lives perished in an instant.

Not only that, but terrifying chaotic turbulence erupted from the spatial rifts caused by the collapse of Mount Buzhou, and any ordinary living being that touched it would surely die.

The entire prehistoric world was instantly plunged into a massive catastrophe. Jiang Heng looked at this apocalyptic scene and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

What's meant to happen will happen! Jiang Heng was helpless about this and could only take a step forward, heading towards the human race.

If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up! Jiang Heng naturally had no intention of turning the tide; he still had humanity to protect.

As for what to do after Buzhou Mountain collapses? Those sages who have been watching the show for so long should take action now.

The script was all arranged, and in the following performance, Jiang Heng had no role at all; Liu Sheng was the protagonist of the next grand drama.

When Jiang Heng returned to the human race, even in the face of a catastrophe like the collapse of the heavens, the human race had so far maintained relative stability.

Since Jiang Heng knew the course of history, it was only natural for him to make some corresponding arrangements in advance.

After Jiang Heng returned to the human race, he summoned the Immortal Bell, which covered the entire area within hundreds of millions of miles of the human race.

With Jiang Heng's current strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to hold out for a period of time and protect the human race from the impact of the celestial collapse.

Soon, a vast power came from the heavens, a power so supreme and powerful that it was unimaginable.

"Daozu Hongjun!"

This was the first time Jiang Heng had felt the power of Dao Ancestor Hongjun since arriving in the prehistoric world. He was indeed an unimaginably powerful figure.

With the appearance of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, six other sages also appeared: Taiqing Sage, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Nuwa, Zhunti, and Jieyin.

Under the arrangement of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones acted simultaneously, stabilizing the ever-closing heaven and earth and preventing the primordial world from returning to chaos.

The two Western Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, went to the North Sea to prepare to kill the Xuan Turtle and use its four limbs as the four pillars supporting the sky.

That black tortoise was incredibly unlucky. It had been living a carefree life in the North Sea and had never committed any murder.

Unexpectedly, disaster struck from the sky while he was sitting at home. He was visited by the two Western Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, and how could he escape unscathed?

Despite his reluctance, the Xuan Turtle was still killed by the two Western Saints, and its limbs were cruelly severed.

The two Western Saints originally intended to eradicate the root of the problem and completely destroy the Xuan Turtle's primordial spirit, but they did not expect that the Great Dao is fifty and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, so that all things have a glimmer of hope.

The black tortoise had lived in the North Sea for countless years, accumulating boundless spiritual energy within its body, which actually protected its primordial spirit as it journeyed to the Six Paths of Reincarnation for reincarnation.

This is the will of Heaven. This black tortoise is destined to have great fortune and is not meant to die. Even a sage cannot stop it.

This time, Xuan Turtle was killed by the two Western Saints, which means that he has a grudge against the Western Sect. Xuan Turtle's reincarnation is also extraordinary.

According to the normal historical trajectory, the reincarnation of the Xuan Turtle was none other than the illustrious Yellow Emperor, who would also become the Human Emperor among the three future emperors of the human race.

This is because the Xuan Turtle had no blood on its hands, and its four limbs became the four pillars supporting the sky, which can be considered as having done great merit to heaven and earth.

In this way, the Xuan Turtle was able to reincarnate as the Yellow Emperor, enjoying the boundless fortune of the human race as the emperor, and ultimately attaining enlightenment.

Of course, this is just a predetermined script. Whether the Xuan Turtle can be reincarnated as the Human Emperor depends on whether Jiang Heng agrees or not.

Humanity has never been a tool for sages to plan destiny, nor a tool for heaven and earth to repay karma. The fate of humanity is up to humanity itself to decide.

The two Western Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, returned with the four limbs of the Xuan Turtle. With the combined efforts of all the saints, they refined the Xuan Turtle's limbs into four pillars supporting the sky.

By placing these four pillars supporting the sky at the four corners of the world, the previously closing world immediately stabilized.

With the support of these four pillars, the world was no longer in danger of closing up, and the crisis in the primordial world was temporarily resolved.

The remaining reason is that after Buzhou Mountain collapsed, the sky cracked, causing the Weak Water in the Milky Way to flow into the primordial world.

With the abilities of a sage, controlling the Weak Water is naturally not a difficult task; the real challenge lies in repairing the enormous crack in the sky.

If the cracks cannot be filled, the Weak Water in the Milky Way will continue to flow into the primordial land, which is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental cure.

At this time, another opportunity came for Nuwa. Under the arrangement of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the sage Nuwa began to refine five-colored stones to mend the sky.

Speaking of which, although the sage Nuwa was not known for her combat prowess, she did not establish any lineage in the primordial world.

But when it comes to great merits to heaven and earth, the saint Nuwa is unparalleled. Whether it was creating humankind or mending the sky, both are acts of great service to heaven and earth.

In all serious consideration, the saint Nuwa possessed the most merits, which allowed her to remain undisturbed by any cause and effect, truly transcending the heavens and earth.

After Nuwa refined the five-colored stones to mend the sky, the cracks in the sky were sealed again, and the Weak Water of the Milky Way was cleaned up by other sages.

In later generations, the protagonist of the Journey to the West: the remaining piece of the sky-mending stone from Nuwa's patching of the sky was discarded by the sage Nuwa on the primordial land.

Thus, the primordial world returned to peace once more, but compared to the primordial world of the past, it is now much more fragile.

In this cataclysmic event, the primordial land was shattered into four parts, forming the four continents: Jambudvipa (Southern Continent), Purvavideha (Eastern Continent), Aparagodaniya (Western Continent), and Julu (Northern Continent).

Countless fragments of the primordial land were scattered around the primordial world, forming three thousand small worlds.

This world does not become more complete, but rather completely fragmented, and such a world itself harbors great hidden dangers.

From now on, the primordial world will probably never be able to withstand a great war like the Lich War again; otherwise, the sages might have no choice but to recreate the world.

The Lich Wars have now come to a complete end. Countless lives perished during this calamity, yet no powerful being cared.

After the primordial world stabilized, the Six Sages were summoned by Dao Ancestor Hongjun for a meeting, while Jiang Heng arrived in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
