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

Chapter 143 I am the Emperor, Slaying All Enemies

In the blink of an eye, countless years have passed.

Countless years have passed since the start of the war between humans.

For so many years, war has been the main theme of the primordial world. On the land, the armies of humans, demons, and the Cloud Clan have been fighting and killing each other without ceasing.

Rivers of blood flowed, mountains of corpses rose, and the cries of the living filled the air.

Over a long period of time, many places in the primordial world were stained red. Even the entire land of the four seas is now stained red.

Such carnage reduced the population of the primordial world by as much as 30%. No one can estimate the exact number of beings in the primordial world. With the war, large swathes of the primordial world are now devoid of life. Even this 30% figure is merely a rough estimate.

This number represents only the number of cultivators below the Dao Fruit level who have tragically died.

While the number of Dao Fruit cultivators in the Primordial World seems vast, it ultimately has its limits. Excluding those in hiding and numerous powerful rogue cultivators, the total number is only slightly over ten thousand. Among them, the Demon Race has the most Dao Fruit cultivators, numbering in the thousands. The Cloud Race is second, also with several thousand. The Human Race has the fewest, with only a little over a thousand.

However, in the current war between the three races, the number of Dao Fruit cultivators who have fallen has reached several thousand. The fall of these several thousand Dao Fruit cultivators includes some rogue cultivators who were implicated.

This number is terrifying.

Extremely tragic.

"Hahaha—Heaven has not forsaken my Feather Clan. I, the Heaven-Shaking Demon Emperor, have emerged victorious, my essence refined, I am now at the half-step Primordial Chaos realm. Hahaha—" The Heaven-Shaking Demon Emperor laughed, his surging feathers intertwining with his half-step Primordial Chaos cultivation.

Without a doubt, it was another demon emperor who used the human race's furnace to temper himself, accumulating strength and finally achieving the half-step Hunyuan realm.

The Demon Emperor laughed loudly, but immediately, the human who had previously broken through with the help of the Demon Emperor burned his own essence and came to kill.

With a "boom," the two engaged in a fierce battle, once again reaching a stalemate.

"Stalemate, another stalemate. So many years have passed since the start of the war—and this battle remains a stalemate, with both sides evenly matched."

"Humans unleash their hidden strengths, demons unleash their hidden strengths, and the Cloud Clan unleash their hidden strengths. Ultimately, they maintain a relatively balanced level of combat power. Whoever gains even the slightest advantage will reveal their trump card and engage in battle, thus sustaining the fight."

"Good heavens, I never imagined this battle would continue until now. Can this grand formation of the three races be compared to the great war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races back then?"

"Incomparable. Legend has it that the birds, beasts, and scaled creatures fought a great war. The three races merged and transformed into a true dragon that spanned the east and west of the primordial world, a qilin that stood between the north and south of the primordial world, and a phoenix that could cover half the sky. When the three fought each other, the entire primordial world seemed small."

Furthermore, the great war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races is rumored to have involved even those at the Primordial Chaos Realm. It also includes Primordial Chaos powerhouses such as Luo Hou, Hongjun, and Qiankun Ancestor. It is simply incomparable to the current three-race conflict.

"Hiss—it's all a conflict between three races, seemingly with a qualitative difference. But now, with this battle continuing at such a stalemate, what will be the outcome?"

"The Witch Clan is the most powerful. Currently, the three clans are locked in a stalemate. However, among the strongest, the Demon Clan ultimately holds a slight advantage. After all, while the Human Clan's furnace restraints killed eighteen Demon Emperors, it also granted the Demon Clan ten half-step Primordial Chaos Realm experts. Although refining the Demon Emperors allowed the Human Clan, whose three clans had merged, to burn their own essence to resist, there is ultimately a limit to burning one's essence."

In contrast, on the primordial land, the Cloud Clan and the Human Clan cooperated, leading a large army that inflicted heavy losses on the Demon Clan's army. Therefore, the three continued their struggle and stalemate, with the Witch Clan ultimately emerging stronger.

"That's true. But the funniest thing is the human race. They wiped out eighteen demon emperors who were close to the half-step Hunyuan realm in one fell swoop, which was a huge loss for the demon race. But it also created ten demon emperors who were half-step Hunyuan realm. I really don't know whether the human race's plan was a loss or a gain."

Many powerful figures discussed this battle, finding it a joke.

Who could have imagined that humanity's astonishing plan would annihilate twenty-eight demon emperors in one fell swoop, shaking the entire primordial world? However, the result was that eighteen demon emperors were refined, creating twenty-six human sages who merged with the Three Corpses, approaching the half-step Primordial Chaos realm.

At the same time, it also enabled the ten demon emperors to break through their limits and achieve the half-step Hunyuan realm.

The outcome of this strategic maneuver was so dramatic that even many powerful figures could not have foreseen it. Now, the great battle has reached this point, and it has become incredibly brutal.

Each of the three races suffered heavy losses. Thousands of Dao Fruit cultivators perished, hundreds of those above the Dao Fruit level fell, countless Great Luo Immortals perished, and an endless army was wiped out. No one could say they had won, and no one could say they had lost.

However, if this stalemate continues, it will eventually wear down the three races. Therefore, at this point in the war, a decisive decision must be made.

This was known to Xuanyuan, the leader of the human race, as well as Hongyun of the Yun clan, and even more so to the demon race.

Seeking change means a real war is about to begin.

At this moment, the human leader Xuanyuan gazed at the vast sky: "I'll go first. Regardless of Dijun's plans or whether they're bound, once I break out, I'll know everything."

As he spoke, Xuanyuan emerged, causing the heavens to shift and the years to change.

Xuanyuan emerged, instantly stirring up the primordial heavens, disrupting the time of all things, and shaking the cause and effect of all things.

Xuanyuan walked out like this, his whole body exuding an aura of majesty, which startled all living beings.

Xuanyuan's eyes were cold and majestic. He stood on a majestic dragon aura, and with a flick of his finger, a magnificent divine sword appeared. He arrived at the long river and unleashed a single strike, unleashing endless purple-gold sword energy that stretched out, its sharp blades forming a vast river of sword energy.

Within that river of swords, one can see the endless universe, the changing of the seasons, and the intertwining of cause and effect—

With a single sword strike, it seemed as if the endless heavens themselves were forced to revolve around it.

This sword strike was aimed at a demon emperor. Relying on the human race's furnace, he broke through his limits and shakily achieved the half-step Primordial Chaos realm.

This demon emperor, who had originally been able to contend with the human sages who had burned everything, felt a pang of fear and dread as the sword light struck him.

"How is this possible—" the demon emperor roared, feeling himself being dug out by the sword energy, feeling his very essence being destroyed by the sword energy. It was unbelievable, and he could not believe it.

"Even among those at the half-step Hunyuan realm, there are high and low. Without a doubt, you are the weaker one." Xuanyuan took a step and arrived at the black dragon that had been swept up by sword energy and disappeared into the long river of time, stirring up endless Dao bones.

Now, the Black Dragon's essence has been severely damaged by the sword energy and is showing signs of disintegration, with its vitality rapidly fading away.

Xuanyuan stared coldly, then swung his sword, severing the dragon's body and throwing it into the evolution furnace.

After Xuanyuan finished doing all this, he turned around and stared at the other demon emperors and the many demons. Wherever his sword pointed, the demons gasped in shock, their hearts filled with fear.

What level of cultivation, what level of ruthlessness, to slay the Demon Emperor with a single sword strike.

That was a Demon Emperor, one of the few Demon Emperors among the demon race. Now, he had even broken through to the half-step Primordial Chaos realm.

The human leader, Xuanyuan, killed him with just one sword strike; how terrifying!

All beings were shocked, staring at Xuanyuan, at a loss for what to do.

Xuanyuan felt many gazes, their eyes meeting, and looked at a demon emperor again: "If a dragon is killed, kill a bird too." The demon emperor being stared at felt a sense of danger from within.

The deathly stillness and danger made the demon emperor gasp, then his heart surged with Daoist energy: "What a formidable human leader. Such cultivation is indeed terrifying. However, I am only a half-step Primordial Chaos cultivator—"

"Half-step Primordial Chaos, so what? If I kill you, you can't live—" Xuanyuan remained indifferent, dignified, and domineering.

The sword strikes like a dragon, the great Dao changes, and after it is unleashed, the ripples of time spread, giving one an instant feeling of being crushed.

This demon emperor was also defiant, roaring, "The Great Dao of Wind—"

This demon emperor cultivates the Great Dao of Wind. His true form was once a powerful race among the avian race, no less so than the Phoenix race.

Now, the winds sweep across, stirring up a storm of the Great Dao. Within this storm, the Great Dao itself is mixed, as are the heavens and the passage of time—

Amidst this storm, sword energy swept in, whistling as it approached.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

In that instant, the sword energy surged forth, falling into the storm and sweeping through it.

It was like a storm that flew in from the great torrent of the Great Way, from the years, and from all the heavens.

Even now, they are suffering some suppression. Under that suppression, they find it difficult to resist.

With a resounding "hum," the storm that had been entangled with the endless Great Dao was severed by the sword energy.

The sweeping sword energy actually caused the Great Dao of Wind to collapse and be suppressed.

In the end, the sword energy sliced ​​through the Wind Demon Emperor, tearing his body apart.

Even the Wind Demon Emperor was affected by this sword strike, its essence and physical body impacted: "What Great Dao do you cultivate? Why do I feel that the Great Dao—"

"What Great Dao? What do you think?" Xuanyuan stepped forward again, arriving before the Wind Demon Emperor, emanating a terrifying aura that seemed to crush eternity.

"Hiss—The Emperor's Path, the Emperor's Path—you actually cultivate such a path—" The Wind Demon Emperor roared in shock, his eyes filled with utter astonishment.

At this moment, the dragon-shaped golden light and the surrounding Great Dao made his whole body radiate light, making him incomparably magnificent.

Xuanyuan exuded an aura of overwhelming power and domineering presence.

That majestic aura that encircled the avenue stretched endlessly.

At that moment, all beings gazed in awe, finally understanding what kind of Great Dao Xuanyuan had cultivated.

"The Emperor's Path? The human race's Xuanyuan actually cultivates such a path! Unbelievable!"

"The Emperor's Path, also known as the Path of Conquest, sweeps across the eight wastelands and traverses the six directions. The more land one occupies, the stronger this path becomes. Unfortunately, in the primordial world, there are many powerful beings. It's easy to occupy one place, but it's difficult to dominate the vast primordial world. Throughout history, there have been very few cultivators who have mastered this path!"

"Even Di Jun, the former King of the East, who walked the path of conquest and the path of emperor, dared not cultivate the Emperor's Path. Even if he did, it would be impossible to attain enlightenment. Now, Xuanyuan is cultivating this path!"

"It must be said that Xuanyuan chose the right time to cultivate this Great Dao. Xuanyuan represents the human race, and the more territory the human race controls, the stronger his Great Dao becomes. Now the human race occupies all parts of the prehistoric world and appoints earth gods. The more territory the human race occupies, the stronger Xuanyuan naturally becomes."

"That being said, the land occupied by the human race is ultimately illusory. Even a slight disturbance can cause the human race to lose its footing. At that time, the Great Dao will backfire, and Xuanyuan will also suffer severe damage."

Everyone knows the core of the Emperor's Path cultivated by Xuanyuan, and what it means.

The Emperor's Path is a very special path. It requires no comprehension or contemplation; one only needs to conquer it.

However, there are too many powerful beings in this primordial world. Who knows what the future holds if one occupies a place today? Besides, the more one occupies, the more enemies one will have.

Even the former Eastern King and the current Emperor Jun, whose paths were all paths of conquest and domination, did not dare to directly cultivate this kind of Great Dao.

Now, Xuanyuan dares to cultivate this Great Dao. Furthermore, relying on the unique characteristics of the human race, he has become extremely powerful.

Even today, Xuanyuan, relying on this Great Dao, is absolutely terrifying.

After all, the characteristic of the Emperor's Path is to suppress other Paths. Among those of the same level, those who cultivate the Emperor's Path can absolutely suppress and weaken other Paths.

Therefore, it is very difficult to compete with emperors.

Now, Xuanyuan gazes at the Wind Demon Emperor. His powerful cultivation and vast Dao cause the Wind Dao to faintly groan, making it impossible for him to muster any power to resist.

Xuanyuan raised his hand, not wielding his sword, but merely grasping: "I am the Human Emperor, to slay all enemies—"

As he spoke, a majestic and domineering dragon flew out from his palm, exuding an aura of overwhelming power and dominance over the world!

The Wind Demon Emperor was utterly unable to withstand the force within that palm.

"No—!" The Wind Demon Emperor roared, shouted, and argued.
