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

Chapter 269 The Battle Everyone's Been Waiting For!

Ultimately, this battle for the title of Human Emperor is still a contest between Shao Hao and Fu Xi, making their victory or defeat extremely crucial.

In such a golden age, to ultimately become the Human Emperor, one must suppress all the geniuses of the human race.

No matter how many monsters and prodigies roam freely, I am invincible! As the emperor, one should possess the demeanor of a whale swallowing the world and being invincible.

Although it's described as a best-of-five series, the battle between Shaohao and Fuxi is the one that all living beings in the primordial world are most focused on right now.

In such a golden age, between Shao Hao and Fu Xi, two unparalleled geniuses of the human race, who could be considered superior?

"Fuxi, you chose to fight in the fourth match. It seems you've really run out of ideas!" Shaohao said disdainfully, looking at Fuxi.

Shao Hao never underestimated Fuxi. He knew very well that behind Fuxi stood sages such as Nuwa.

If Fuxi could produce other powerful figures besides Kong Xuan, Yuan Feng, and Nezha, Shao Hao wouldn't be surprised.

However, in the fourth match, Fuxi chose to fight personally, which was good news for Shaohao.

Just as Shao Hao said, choosing to fight in the fourth match undoubtedly indicates that Fuxi's side has no other strong fighters left.

Having no other strong contenders, Fuxi chose to fight in the fourth match, hoping the outcome of this match would determine the final choice of the Human Emperor.

This also means that as long as he can defeat Fuxi in this competition, the throne of the Human Emperor will undoubtedly belong to him, Shaohao.

Can he defeat Fuxi? Shaohao had absolute confidence in this. To be precise, Shaohao never took Fuxi seriously.

Perhaps in Taihao's mind, if it weren't for the sage Nuwa constantly helping Fuxi plan behind the scenes, how could Fuxi have reached this level today?

All that is needed is to defeat Fuxi so that Shaohao can become the current human emperor, thus fulfilling his long-cherished wish.

When that time comes, Shaohao will let all living beings in the primordial world know what kind of being he really is.

"Shaohao, you will never understand that although you are now a human, you can never become a true human emperor."

"It's not about whether you can win this battle or not, but that you still don't understand what humanity truly means!" Fuxi sighed.

Before becoming the ruler of the human realm, Fuxi might not have understood this principle, but at the moment he became the ruler of the human realm, Fuxi understood it.

What makes a person human is not merely bloodline, physical body, or other external factors; there is something more important at play.

Unfortunately, no matter how powerful this young man is, he will never understand the reason behind this.

"Enough with the nonsense, the victor is king and the loser is villain, that's always been the way it has been! And in this battle, I will definitely win and you will lose!" Shao Hao said disdainfully.

Without needing any more words, at this moment, both Shao Hao and Fu Xi unleashed powerful auras and began to collide.

Peak Quasi-Saint! Without a doubt, both Shao Hao and Fu Xi have reached the level of peak Quasi-Saint.

Only with such strength could Shaohao and Fuxi each stand at the pinnacle of the human race in such a golden age.

The countless beings watching the battle had become numb to it; the human race had displayed far too many powerful figures today, and they had long since taken it for granted.

Powerful energies were constantly clashing. Shao Hao and Fu Xi stared intently at each other, neither giving an inch.

The next moment, Fuxi and Shaohao moved simultaneously, and a powerful force erupted on the summit of Kunlun, marking the start of a battle that the world had been watching closely.

Such a battle was destined to attract much attention, perhaps only comparable to the battle between the Ancestral Witches and the Guide Saint.

However, in battles at the Saint level, even Quasi-Saint level experts can only prioritize survival and do not even have the right to watch.

The battle between Fuxi and Shaohao was extremely intense from the start, with both sides giving no quarter and unleashing their full power immediately.

All sorts of unparalleled Taoist techniques and extraordinary supernatural powers seemed to come out of Shaohao and Fuxi's hands with ease.

The very first exchange was such a fierce, head-on clash that it dazzled countless creatures, who secretly cheered in their hearts.

In the eyes of many powerful beings in the primordial world, Fuxi and Shaohao were no weaker than the other powerful beings from before.

However, in the three battles just now, Nezha and Kong Xuan displayed overwhelming strength, while only the battle between Yuan Feng and Xiang Yu seemed a bit more intense.

Many creatures didn't even understand what was going on before the battle was over, leaving them feeling somewhat displeased.

Currently, Shaohao and Fuxi are truly evenly matched, with both sides trading blows and neither gaining the upper hand.

Fuxi has already used all the unparalleled supernatural powers in the "Gu Zhi Bao Shu" (The Treasure Technique of the Cricket), which was taught to him by Jiang Heng, and has already reached the level of a sage.

The unparalleled supernatural power of "The Treasure Technique of the Cicada" involves the space-time dimension; every move Fuxi makes affects infinite space-time.

The universe is the space between heaven and earth! Layers of time and space were sealed by Fuxi, forming void cages that suppressed Shaohao within them.

If it were any other peak Quasi-Saint, trapped in layers upon layers of void cages, they would probably have lost their way long ago, let alone escaped.

Shao Hao, however, displayed invincible strength, his body radiating immense power as he stood tall in the boundless void, like the ruler of the heavens.

The immense power shattered layers of void, causing countless void cages to tremble continuously, and finally, under Shao Hao's powerful strength, they were reduced to nothingness.

From ancient times to the present, it is all time! Fuxi made his move again, and time was under his control. Although it was only for a moment, it has become eternity.

Shao Hao was instantly affected by the power of time; his body was caught in the rapidly flowing flow of time, a moment that felt like billions of years.

For quasi-saints, time is meaningless; even endless time cannot age them in the slightest.

But under the test of time, even the most powerful primordial spirit will eventually decay, a more profound decay.

Only by reaching the realm of a sage can one achieve eternal immortality, undergo an incredible transformation of the primordial spirit, and never perish.

At this moment, Fuxi was using the power of time to obliterate Shaohao, banishing him into the eternal turbulent flow of time.

But Shaohao stood firm amidst the torrent of time, radiating brilliant light. Even though billions of years were but a fleeting moment, Taihao never wavered in the slightest.

"Fuxi has completely recovered his cultivation from his previous life, and his strength is no less than that of Nezha and Kong Xuan!" said the Tongtian Sect Leader.

During the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, Jiang Heng used various means to help Fuxi lay the foundation for becoming a saint, and Fuxi's strength had already reached its limit.

That's a level comparable to Kong Xuan and Nezha, an invincible realm below the level of a sage. Take another step, and you'll reach the realm of a sage.

After being reincarnated as a human by Fuxi, he underwent cultivation in the human realm and the immortal realm, and has completely recovered his former cultivation level.

"This Shaohao is truly remarkable. Even with the help of the Heavenly Dao, it is not easy for him to have reached this point!" said the Sage Nuwa in a deep voice.

Nuwa was fully aware of Fuxi's true strength. Prior to this, Nuwa had also had complete confidence in Fuxi.

The realm of being invincible below the level of a sage is such that even if Nezha and Kong Xuan were to compete with Fuxi for the throne of the human emperor, the outcome between the two sides would be difficult to predict.

In the entire primordial world, there are very few people whose strength can reach such a level; they are basically all powerful beings who have survived from ancient times.

But then Shao Hao appeared, whose strength was no less than that of Fu Xi, clearly placing him in an invincible realm below the level of a sage.

Even with the help of the Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Shao Hao himself was definitely extraordinary to have reached this point.

"Judging from the current situation, it's really hard to say what the outcome of this battle will be!" the Taiqing Sage said in a deep voice.

Even a powerful figure like the Taiqing Sage would find it difficult to determine the winner, which shows just how close Fuxi and Shaohao's strengths were.

When the strength is almost equal, whoever wins in the end depends not only on their own skills, but also on luck.

At this moment, the battle between Fuxi and Shaohao was in such a situation that the difference in strength between the two sides was negligible.

The two sides clashed and clashed repeatedly, but neither could gain the upper hand, and the situation remained deadlocked for the time being.

Whether in terms of methods, willpower, or even fighting spirit, Fuxi and Shaohao have reached their peak.

It is no exaggeration to say that unless a sage personally intervenes, no one can possibly defeat Fuxi and Shaohao.

The incredibly intense battle, which seemed to have lasted for hundreds of millions of years, was actually only a very short period of time.

At this moment, Fuxi and Shaohao stopped fighting at the same time, and each stood on the top of Kunlun Mountain, facing each other from afar.

"Hahaha! To have reached this point, even with the help of a sage, Fuxi, you are truly remarkable!" Shao Hao said loudly.

While seemingly praising Fuxi, the sarcasm in Shao Hao's words was easily discernible to all living beings in the primordial world.

It was with the help of the sage that Fuxi gained his current strength. In other words, without the sage's help, what would Fuxi be?

"Without the help of the power of the Heavenly Dao, you wouldn't even be qualified to stand before me!" Fuxi said disdainfully.

Fuxi was no ordinary person, and Shaohao wanted to mock him, but Shaohao's current strength was also obtained through illegitimate means.

However, by the time Fuxi and Shaohao had reached their current level, they had long since become complacent and lacked true mastery, and words could hardly sway their will.

"Hmph! Enough with the nonsense. The warm-up is over. If you don't show some real skill, you'll suffer a crushing defeat!" Shao Hao said in a deep voice.

When Shao Hao said this, Fu Xi did not react, but the creatures that were observing were in an uproar.

So, all that intense fighting between Shao Hao and Fu Xi just now was merely a warm-up? They hadn't even used their full strength yet?

If they were to unleash their full power, how terrifying would it be? Countless beings watched Fuxi and Shaohao with great anticipation.

"Well said. Show me your true abilities and let me see who you really are!" Fuxi said in a deep voice.

In fact, what Taihao just said was somewhat exaggerated. He did not hold back at all from the very beginning of his battle with Fuxi.

It was called a warm-up, but in reality, both Fuxi and Shaohao displayed power that was invincible below the level of a sage.

But both Fuxi and Shaohao understood that although they were now human, they were not simply human.

Although Fuxi is now a human, he was originally the elder brother of the sage Nuwa, a powerful being born in ancient times.

Apart from the "Gu Zhi Bao Shu" (a magical technique for crickets) that Jiang Heng taught Fuxi, Fuxi did not display any of his own strength.

The same is true of Shao Hao. Although he is now a human, his origins are unknown, and he has not yet revealed his true identity.

Not to mention that Fuxi didn't know who Shaohao was, even the saints like Nuwa, even at this point, couldn't figure out Shaohao's origins.

It wasn't that Shao Hao's methods were so powerful that they could unbelievably deceive the Sage, but rather that Shao Hao was shrouded in the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Unless one completely shatters the power of the Heavenly Dao and explores Shao Hao's primordial spirit imprint, even a sage could not possibly see through Shao Hao's identity.

But one thing is certain: Shao Hao was definitely an extremely ancient being in the primordial world, not some newly born human.

Such beings are few in number. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are only a few options for who Shao Hao really is.

Now, when Fuxi and Taihao are evenly matched and it is difficult to determine a winner, both of them will inevitably have to reveal some of their trump cards.

With these trump cards revealed, Shao Hao's identity will inevitably be difficult to conceal, and many powerful figures will be able to see who Shao Hao really is.

An even fiercer confrontation began again. This time, Fuxi held nothing back and revealed all his trump cards.

With human heads and snake tails, Nuwa and Fuxi were originally deities conceived from birth. Nuwa's ability to become a saint was not solely due to her creation of humans.

After all, even if the sage Nuwa thought of creating the human race, how could she have created humans if she didn't have the ability herself?

Jiang Heng had long said that if Nuwa could continue to advance on the path of life, her future achievements might not be inferior to those of the Taiqing Sage.

As for Fuxi, the elder brother of Nuwa, although he died in the Lich War, he did not seem to have shown any extraordinary abilities.

However, Fuxi and Nuwa were born together from the primordial world, and Fuxi's own qualities were in no way inferior to those of the sage Nuwa.

In the primordial world, becoming a saint is not simply a matter of being exceptionally talented. The fact that Fuxi failed to become a saint does not mean that he was much inferior to the saint Nuwa.

At this moment, Fuxi finally unleashed his true essence from the ancient times without reservation.

In that instant, Fuxi stood atop Kunlun Mountain, transformed into a deity with a human head and a snake's body, holding the innate spiritual treasures Hetu and Luoshu.

In the original history, it was not without reason that Fuxi was able to become the emperor of the human race, comprehend the mysteries of the Hetu and Luoshu, and create the innate Bagua.

Fuxi's origins are perfectly aligned with the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Heaven, which is the foundation upon which Fuxi was able to attain enlightenment.

The Hetu and Luoshu were perfectly suited to Fuxi, and in Fuxi's hands, this innate spiritual treasure instantly displayed its true splendor.

Only at this moment did the creatures watching the battle realize that Fuxi and Shaohao had indeed not used their full strength.

In this state, even if Kong Xuan and Nezha personally took action against Fuxi, they would probably be no match for him without a supreme treasure to protect him.

However, to the surprise of many beings, Shao Hao did not unleash even greater power in the face of Fu Xi.

The strength displayed was slightly stronger than before, but it was only slightly stronger and not a particularly sophisticated technique.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Shaohao was at a disadvantage after Fuxi and Shaohao clashed again.

Has Taihao exhausted all his tricks? Can his strength only go so far? Such thoughts inevitably arose in the minds of many beings.

Fuxi was also somewhat surprised at this moment. Compared to the other beings watching the battle, Fuxi undoubtedly had a better understanding of Shaohao.

Fuxi did not believe that Shaohao was only capable of this much. If that were the case, Shaohao would not be qualified to stand before him today.

However, since Fuxi had already gained the upper hand, he could no longer afford to be timid and would instead go all out.

Fuxi truly didn't believe that once he had completely gained the upper hand, what use would Shaohao's hidden methods be?

Such a thought only flashed through Fuxi's mind for a moment, and in the next instant, Fuxi had already attacked with all his might.

The shape of the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Era appeared in the heavens, and the power of time and space was perfectly combined with the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Era at this moment.

The power of the innate spiritual treasure, the Hetu Luoshu, was also fully activated. Its vast power resonated throughout the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity, causing them to tremble continuously.

At this moment, even the other peak Quasi-Saint level experts couldn't help but show solemn expressions on their faces.

Zhen Yuanzi, Yun Zhongzi, Nezha, Kong Xuan—all the powerful figures in the primordial world—felt threatened at this moment.

At this moment, they truly felt Fuxi's power; such power far surpassed the level of a peak Quasi-Saint.

It was a kind of apprehension that even if they personally took action, they would have no confidence whatsoever in withstanding Fuxi's attack.

Faced with such terrifying power, Shao Hao showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a smile appeared on his face.

"Fuxi, do I know why I chose the summit of Kunlun as the location when I agreed to this battle with you!" Shaohao said loudly.

Upon hearing Shao Hao's name, Fu Xi was slightly startled, and for some reason, a feeling of unease suddenly arose in his heart.

Fuxi did not answer. He gathered his supreme power, carrying the shape of the Eight Trigrams, and slowly pressed down on Shaohao, preparing to end this battle completely.

But at that moment, an incomparably dazzling beam of light descended from the heavens and landed squarely on Shao Hao.

In that instant, Shao Hao's strength began to rise steadily, reaching an unbelievable level in the blink of an eye.

The shape of the Eight Trigrams was affected by this vast power and remained suspended in mid-air, unable to fall even an inch further.

Fuxi was greatly alarmed, staring intently at Taihao, as if trying to understand why Shaohao had suddenly unleashed such incredible power.

"Because the summit of Kunlun was once Mount Buzhou! This place was originally the connection between the primordial land and the heavens!"

Only here can I draw upon the power of the heavens and gather this immense power within myself!

Now, do you understand?
