I, the primordial ancestor, started out as a useless cult and a useless saint.

Chapter 297 Hongjun's Schemes Go Deeper

Having reached the pinnacle of sainthood, Ye Yang was beyond the reach of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

"You, you."

Overwhelmed with anger, he couldn't speak. He only saw Ye Yang holding the Panlong Staff, stepping on chaos, slowly walking towards him.

"Primordial Celestial Venerable, do you know? I have waited thousands of years for this moment. You are truly audacious to dare to stage the Investiture of the Gods calamity in the human race. Who gave you the courage?"

Another slap sent Yuanshi Tianzun flying a great distance.

The two slaps stunned Yuanshi Tianzun on the spot.

"This isn't right, this is absolutely wrong! My magical power has greatly increased, how could the Ancestor of Humanity possibly be a match for this Saint? This isn't right!"

Looking around, all that could be seen was Ye Yang holding a coiled dragon staff, stepping through the chaos as he walked.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable was greatly alarmed, suddenly feeling that the ancestor of humanity before him was completely unfamiliar.

"Ancestor of Humanity, you...you...you've been hiding your true strength all along? Was this all part of your scheme?"

"That's right. It's only polite to reciprocate. After the Lich King, the saints joined forces to steal the human race's fortune. Now it's time to return it."

Just after the Lich Wars, all the saints of the heavens joined forces to forcibly tear apart the human race's destiny. The Primordial Heavenly Venerable of the Chan Sect also possessed this destiny, so Ye Yang naturally had to scheme to get it back.

"With unwavering resolve," Ye Yang said.

"Primordial Celestial Venerable, do you truly believe that was something you fought for? Do you truly believe that the destiny of humanity is so easily taken?"

Ye Yang grew increasingly smug, and finally burst into maniacal laughter:

"Hahaha, I deliberately let you take it, but it's time to return it today. After thousands of years, adding a little interest isn't too much to ask, is it?"

Looking at the primordial land, Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly realized that this wasn't just about adding a little interest; it was about to destroy the Chan Sect.

"Ancestor of Humanity, I am your sworn enemy, ah—."

By this point, how could Yuanshi Tianzun not understand?

Once the Marquis of Xibo swore an oath to Heaven, and once the fortune of the Chan Sect entered Xiqi, it would be impossible for him to withdraw.

When the Chan Sect is defeated, the immeasurable power of the primordial calamity will fall upon the world.

The Chan Sect is doomed, and its demise will be even more tragic than that of the Jie Sect in the original plan.

Yuanshi Tianzun went berserk, unleashing all his power to attack, having long forgotten the crushing defeat he had just suffered at the hands of Ye Yang.

Ye Yang let out a cold laugh:

"Yuanshi, since that's the case, then let's send you on your way."

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun no longer had any value to him.

With a single punch from afar, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, billions of kilometers away, was instantly struck and coughed up blood.

"This punch is to teach you a lesson for scheming against the human race."

Thud—

"This punch is to teach you a lesson for being arrogant."

Thud—

"This punch is a return gift to those humans who were poisoned and killed by the Chan Sect."

Thud—

Suddenly, his veins bulged, and a terrifying power erupted instantly, causing half of Yuanshi Tianzun's body to explode on the spot.

"Ah—, pfft."

All I could see was a beam of light heading straight into the deeper reaches of chaos.

"Hey, cough cough, who was that punch for?"

"Hmph, the Tongtian Sect Leader's."

With a single step, Ye Yang arrived in front of Yuanshi Tianzun. With a single grab, Yuanshi Tianzun was powerless to resist.

"The Tongtian Sect Leader was both my teacher and friend. He was beaten up by you before he died. Since he can't fight back, then I'll help him fight back."

With a sudden roar, Yuanshi Tianzun transformed into a streak of fire and rushed straight into the deeper reaches of chaos.

"Yuanshi Tianzun, I will annihilate you outside the Heavenly Dao's domain, so that you will never be able to enter the Primordial World again for all eternity."

Ye Yang's Dharma body expanded rapidly, and with a single breath, he directly absorbed the chaos within a radius of hundreds of millions of kilometers into his abdomen.

"This is the price of angering humanity."

"Pfft—."

Before Yuanshi Tianzun could say anything, Ye Yang's attack had already arrived.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable frantically borrowed the power of the Heavenly Dao to fight against it, but the human race's scepter was simply too terrifying.

As he felt himself drifting further and further away from the primordial world, Yuanshi Tianzun finally began to panic.

"Teacher, help me—"

I chickened out, completely chickened out.

"No one is coming to save you. To tell you the truth, Hongjun doesn't care whether you live or die. What he wants is the fate of the human race. Just accept your fate."

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying killing power erupted, and he threw a powerful punch.

"No--."

Rumble.

In an instant, Yuanshi Tianzun was knocked out of the Heavenly Dao's domain.

"Primordial Celestial Venerable, accept your fate."

As he spoke, Ye Yang struck with ruthless force.

"Does the teacher really not care whether I live or die? No—."

Yuanshi Tianzun tried to struggle, but it was useless. If he were within the scope of the Heavenly Dao, Yuanshi Tianzun might still have a chance to survive.

However, outside the scope of the Heavenly Dao, Ye Yang is currently the strongest.

"Ancestor of Humanity, how dare you—!"

Hongjun's figure appeared here.

"Teacher, you've finally arrived! The Ancestor of Humanity wants to destroy our Chan Sect. Please save us, Teacher!"

Yuanshi Tianzun felt a wave of fear; if he had arrived any later, he would have been dead.

Hongjun's face showed no anger, but rather a hint of smugness.

"Ancestor of Humanity, you shouldn't have come out. Since you have, then die. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are enough for the prehistoric world."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun realized that Hongjun had been waiting all along.

Within the scope of the Heavenly Dao, it is impossible to kill the Ancestor. Only outside the scope of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun had long noticed the danger of Yuanshi Tianzun, but did not take action, waiting for this moment.

"Ancestor of Humanity, once you leave the area covered by the Heavenly Dao, you are doomed."

However, Ye Yang just chuckled:

"Really? Didn't I deliberately lure you out?"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun's heart tightened instantly. Having fought countless battles with the Ancestor of Humanity, how could Hongjun not understand the Ancestor of Humanity's schemes?

"What are you going to do?"

Looking at Ye Yang, only to hear a voice:

"Hmph, of course I'll kill you."

Stepping forward, he held the dragon-patterned staff horizontally in front of his chest and shouted sharply:

"Hongjun, the Tongtian Sect Leader has deposed himself, cutting off your path to transcendence. From that moment on, only one of us can live."

"How...how did you know?"

"Hehe, how would I know? Of course, it was Tongtian Jiaozhu who said it. Hongjun, how could I not know your purpose? It is absolutely impossible for you to devour humanity."

Hearing this, Hongjun's heart sank, and he suddenly realized that this battle would not be easy.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable, standing to the side, was also filled with boundless rage.

It's Tongtian again! That damned Tongtian Sect Leader, you're already dead, why are you still scheming? Even in death you don't give me any peace of mind. What is it about you that I can't compare to?

Roaring in his heart, the Primordial Celestial Venerable was extremely distorted.

Hongjun quickly regained his composure and said:

"Ancestor of Humanity, you are indeed powerful. I cannot kill you, but can you kill me?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

All that was seen was Hongjun chuckle and say:

"Don't forget that the Investiture of the Gods calamity began with the human race. As long as I stand here to stop you, how can your human saints possibly defeat the Heavenly Saints? The Chan Sect is all-powerful; who can do anything to them?"

Nuwa escaped, the two Western Saints would never have been born, the Tongtian Sect Leader fell, and Yuanshi alone could withstand the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Some people even taught Taiqing that if the underworld were to intervene, Taiqing alone would be sufficient.

Why did Hongjun give them special treatment so many times?

In this situation, wouldn't it be a case of one company dominating the market?

"Yuanshi, you should return to the primordial world to preside over the conferment of the gods. As long as the human king dies, humanity will surely perish."

"Yes, teacher."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable transformed into a beam of light and headed straight for the primordial world.

Hongjun looked at Ye Yang and said:

"Ancestor of Humanity, what do you think? In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are futile. You have taught me this."

"Damn it, I'll teach you how to flatter, you bastard, you're going to get a beating."
