Primordial Era: Elixir of Qi Transforms into Form, Controlling the Pharmacology of the World

Chapter 139 Twenty-Eight Human Races, Twenty-Eight Demon Emperors

"Dawn Avenue, awaken my Dawn Divine Body, battle—"

Xuan Chen roared, and within his physical body, the origins merged, absorbing the essence of the Great Dao River and the Daoist principles of all heavens. From within himself, a kind of dawn was formed.

Xuan Chen's breath transformed into the dawn. His pores also released the dawn.

His physical body flowed as if formed from the light of dawn. It felt as if Xuan Chen wasn't human, but rather a being born from the dawn itself. In an instant, Xuan Chen's Daoist aura roared, his power spreading, tearing apart the Great Dao River and shattering the sweeping sun, moon, and heavens.

Xuan Chen raised his hand and attacked, the divine light of dawn now even more terrifying: "Light of an Instantaneous Moment—"

The road of dawn evolves into a fleeting moment.

That instant was like time itself, like a sharp blade, severing the years, severing the heavens, and cutting off the long river here.

Such a change astonished even the Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor, sensing the shifts in the dawn light, especially the changes in his physique: "This change is profound. However, that's all—kill, the sun and moon will annihilate—"

The Daoist principles intertwined, transforming once more into heaven and earth, sun and moon. Both were composed of the Great Dao, merging with each other and becoming a place of oblivion.

Emerging from the path of slaughter, guided by the Great Dao, they sought to obliterate everything before them.

With a deafening boom, the Daoist energies collided once more. The alternating Daos extinguished the dawn, but not the primordial dawn.

Xuan Chen barely managed to withstand this attack using his divine body. He then turned his attention to fighting the Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor. Although he was still struggling and was repeatedly knocked away, falling into the long river and bleeding profusely, he was still able to fight.

They fought each other, their battles and conflicts were unparalleled.

The two fought each other so fiercely, and so did the other demon emperors.

Now, they have also encountered rivals.

The powerful figures who emerged from among the human race also took them by surprise.

After all, they never expected that the human race would have so many powerful individuals who could barely hold them off.

A certain human race, known as: Xuanzhan!

Xuan Zhan was brimming with fighting spirit, as if born for battle. He raised his hand and charged at the demon emperor before him: "Haha—the astonishing demon emperor of the demon race, come and fight! Do not disgrace your title!"

"A mere human, cultivating the Great Dao of War, and even more so, the incomplete method of severing the three corpses. A pathetic worm with no future, courting death—" The Demon Emperor roared, raising his hand to strike, his wings transforming into a killing intent.

Without exchanging any pleasantries, they immediately launched into a fierce battle.

Xuan Zhan is one of the few members of the human race who cultivates the Great Dao of War. Now, his battle intent hums, his battle body boils, and he displays his fighting stance like a member of the Wu race.

That battle form was extremely tall, as if magnified billions of times, and with a wave of its hand it could blot out the sky and sun, as if it wanted to crush all the heavens.

The Demon Emperor, gazing intently and sensing the changes in the battle body, was slightly surprised. He then raised his hand, unleashing endless divine light. The divine light transformed into wings, like endless sharpness, and charged towards Xuan Zhan.

In the instant of a "boom," the sharpness shifted, and divine light surged. The heavens were shattered, and all things were transformed.

The roar seemed to tear apart the Great Dao River, and also seemed to annihilate all the heavens.

As they vanished, the two clashed. Xuan Zhan grabbed, and a battle axe appeared, interwoven with the Great Dao of War and boundless divine light, charging towards him, invincible.

The terrifying demon emperor gazed intently, gathering the Great Dao and condensing it into a Great Realm within his palm.

With a deafening roar, the two sides clashed once again.

Meanwhile, the remaining twenty-six demon emperors have also encountered opponents.

One by one, the human race, abandoning their future, cultivated a reduced version of the Three Corpses Severing Technique to become stronger and fight against them.

They displayed unique physical constitutions. The emergence and transformation of these constitutions brought them closer to those of innate beings. Especially when they burned their source energy, they were able to contend with numerous demon emperors for a short period of time.

Twenty-eight humans and twenty-eight demon emperors fought and slaughtered each other until the battle reached a fever pitch.

The vast and ancient river of life, now turbulent and crumbling due to their battles and impacts, has been shattered and destroyed.

Each aftershock causes the evolution of the heavens. Yet, each aftershock also causes the annihilation of the heavens.

The creation and destruction of realms happen in an instant. The desolate sea of ​​realms that had been formed was also captured and transformed into supernatural powers for slaughter.

Among them, some displayed the form of the ocean, pouring out the words of Wang Yang's Great Dao like the sea itself.

Some people display the body of slaughter, the way of slaughter, and arrive with a roar.

Some demon emperors displayed overwhelming Dao cultivation and secret techniques, approaching the half-step Hunyuan realm, and crushed them.

Some demon emperors reveal their true forms, roaring and devouring, even tearing apart the Great Dao River.

Horrible, absolutely terrifying.

"This...this is impossible! How could humans be so powerful!"

"Twenty-eight demon emperors, each one infinitely close to the half-step Hunyuan realm. They could all briefly break into the half-step Hunyuan realm by using secret techniques. But now, they have been stopped by twenty-eight humans."

"How did the human race manage that? Even after burning their very essence, falling into a disadvantageous position, and suffering repeated heavy injuries, they still managed to briefly hold off the Demon Emperor!"

"A special constitution. A unique physical condition of the human race. That special constitution, intertwined with the Great Dao, seems to transform an ordinary innate Dao body into a constitution similar to that of an innate being, or even a Wu tribe."

"Indeed, the innate Dao physique seems to be able to help comprehend the Great Dao and aid in cultivation. But ultimately, it is not like the innate great gods, who possess innate supernatural powers and the Great Dao they are born with. However, the cultivation levels displayed by these special physiques are truly terrifying."

"This allows the human race's aptitude and physique to barely catch up with some innate races. Now, by cultivating the incomplete Three Corpses Severing Technique and burning their origin, they are trying to contend with the Demon Emperor. Impressive—"

"Perhaps in this battle, the human race will defeat the demon race—"

Many powerful cultivators expressed disbelief and horror.

They never expected that the human race would have such a profound foundation.

I had assumed that the war between humans and demons would be a one-sided affair. Even with the Cloud Clan, they would only be able to barely hold their own.

Who knew that after the Demon Emperor emerged, so many powerful humans appeared? These human powerhouses, with their unique physiques and the cultivation gained through sacrificing their future—burning their very essence and their three corpses—barely managed to hold off the Demon Emperor.

This left many cultivators and powerful figures astonished.

Not to mention the many powerful beings, even the demon race itself found this scene strange.

Fuxi gazed intently at the powerful individuals with unique human physiques and the struggle between the Demon Emperors within the Great Dao River: "The changes in the human physique are far too profound. They are changes born from the very origin. Perhaps—"

"Ling Dan, it must be him. Humans alone could never comprehend this kind of physique secret technique. And in the primordial world, only Ling Dan could create this technique and pass it on to humans." Kunpeng's eyes flickered with emotion.

"Right now, this isn't the time to discuss how humans acquire special physiques. Humans have the potential to create their own methods of enlightenment and break through to the Dao Fruit realm. Sacrificing their future for short-term cultivation, burning their origins to fight against the Demon Emperor, is also a threat to the demon race—" Taiyi suddenly spoke.

Taiyi wasn't stupid; he clearly understood that the changes in the human race's physique were likely related to Ling Dan. However, what he was seeing now were individuals capable of breaking through to the Dao Fruit realm on their own, yet forced to abandon their future and cultivate the incomplete Three Corpses Severing Method. They then burned their very essence to resist the Demon Emperor.

This scene was also a blow to the entire demon race.

"Although the Demon Emperor has been stopped, the overall situation of the battle will not change. Moreover, how long can these humans, who are burning their very essence and sacrificing their future to fight the Demon Emperor, hold out?" Kunpeng was quite confident, but then he also wondered, "Now, I am curious about how Ling Dan comprehended the method to change the physique of the human race."

Kunpeng saw some possibilities in the changes in the human race's physique, which is why he was curious.

Di Jun also agreed and praised the human race's choice to sacrifice their future and resist the demon race. However, he also knew that the gap in strength could not be bridged by such means.

Inside the Demon Court, Di Jun and the others pondered these thoughts.

Many powerful beings share this view. After all, no matter how much humanity sacrifices its future, the fundamental difference in strength cannot be bridged by such sacrifices.

Now, the human race exhibits a unique physique; even if they burn their very essence, how long can they continue burning it?

At this moment, within the Great Dao River, the human race's powerful warriors, who were burning their very essence, seemed to have reached their limit.

The Celestial Dog Demon Emperor raised his hand, conjuring the sun and moon, intertwining the Great Dao, transforming into the heavens, and with thunderous might, threatening to destroy eternity: "Human Xuan Chen—you have been able to withstand me for so long, enough to make you proud. Now, it is time for you to die."

As he said this, he raised his sleeve and retreated. The surging light of dawn was destroyed, and he himself fell into the long river, was submerged, swept away, and left a bloody mess.

With a deafening roar, Xuan Chen emerged from the long river. Despite being severely injured, he remained standing: "I am Xuan Chen of the human race. Even if it burns everything, I will fight you. Roar—"

Xuan Chen roared, his entire body's essence igniting once more. The three corpses he had severed were now also ablaze.

Sever the three corpses, burn the three corpses, and gain power in return.

It has to be said that this is absolutely sacrificing everything.

The Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor gazed intently, a thoughtful expression on his face: "For a race destined for destruction, not only are you sacrificing your future, but you're also burning your very essence, burning your three corpses. Is it worth it?"

"It's worth it. As a human being, I must burn everything for the sake of humanity. Kill—" Xuan Chen roared, howled, and slaughtered.

At that moment, he was willing to sacrifice everything to fulfill the great cause and will of humanity.

Even if he were to turn to ashes and leave no trace in the primordial world, he would still fight.

The Tengu Demon Emperor felt a mix of emotions. Recalling his former Tengu Ancestor, he inexplicably understood the Ancestor's thoughts: "Sacrificing everything for the people, remarkable. Then I will grant your wish. Die! The Tengu Clan's innate divine power—Moon Devouring and Sun Erosion!"

At that moment, the Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor unleashed the innate divine power of the Heavenly Dog clan, an extremely powerful divine power capable of devouring the sun and moon and achieving the Great Divine Power of Primordial Chaos.

Under that supernatural power, one could see that the Great Dao was pitch black, all the heavens were pitch black, the stars were dim, and everything had turned into a gray color.

At that moment, world-destroying divine thunder, chaotic lightning, and everything intertwined, clashing towards the endless.

Xuan Chen, having burned everything, transformed into a dazzling dawn and charged out.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

That final glory was also the final magnificence.

That instant of dawn seemed to illuminate the heavens, which had lost their sun and moon.

At that moment, all the heavens were illuminated, and the primordial world seemed to be illuminated as well.

But it was only for a fleeting moment. A brief glimmer of dawn, a fleeting ray of light, ultimately unable to withstand the endless darkness.

In the end, the light of dawn dissipated, leaving only the Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor.

The current Heavenly Dog Demon King looked at his heart, where it had been pierced and penetrated.

"Pfft—" The Heavenly Dog Demon King spat out blood, clutching his chest: "Even the strongest light of dawn will eventually be enveloped by darkness."

"The darkness will eventually be broken. I have completed my mission. Humanity, I have been here—" That was Xuan Chen's last remaining soul, which then transformed into a dazzling light and dissipated into the long river and into the heavens.

"Cough cough————" The Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor gazed at the departing Xuan Chen, feeling somewhat emotional.
