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

Chapter 53 A Thousand Years!

After the battle between Jiang Heng and Donghuang Taiyi, Grand Master Xuandu continued to preach, and the entire human race fell into silence as a result.

Although the battle between Jiang Heng and Donghuang Taiyi ultimately came to nothing, the powerful beings in the primordial world could not forget Jiang Heng's existence.

Humanity has only been around for a short time, yet a powerhouse of Jiang Heng's caliber has already emerged, which cannot be ignored by the great powers of the primordial world.

After witnessing the outcome of the battle, both the Demon Master Kunpeng and the Lord of the Styx were filled with rage, yet also felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, Jiang Heng did not die at the hands of Donghuang Taiyi, and the Primordial Purple Qi was not exposed, so they still had a chance to seize the Primordial Purple Qi.

Their resentment stemmed from the fact that Jiang Heng was still alive; they never imagined that Jiang Heng could survive in the hands of Donghuang Taiyi.

"How can this damned human be so strong? He's still alive!" Demon Master Kunpeng said with a gloomy face.

"Although this human is strong, he is no match for Donghuang Taiyi. The key lies in that innate treasure, the Taiji Diagram."

"If it weren't for the intervention of the Supreme Saint, this human would have died at the hands of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi even if he had ten lives!" the Styx Master said in a deep voice.

"Why would the Sage Taiqing intervene to protect this human? Does the Sage Taiqing value the human race so much?" Demon Master Kunpeng asked hesitantly.

"After all, the Sage Taiqing established the Human Religion among the human race. As the leader of the Human Religion, it is only right that he lends a helping hand!" said the Styx Religion Leader.

"Hmph! The Supreme Saint could protect this human race once, but he cannot protect it forever!"

Demon Master Kunpeng was a man of deep thought, and he immediately grasped the key point, his mind racing with countless ideas.

"That's right. The Sage Taiqing can't protect that human forever. As long as he doesn't have the innate treasure Taiji Diagram, with our combined strength, killing him shouldn't be difficult!"

Even though he witnessed Jiang Heng's battle with Donghuang Taiyi, the Styx Master remained confident and never truly regarded Jiang Heng as an opponent.

This is normal. With the discerning eyes of Demon Master Kunpeng and the Lord of the Styx, they can naturally see Jiang Heng's true strength.

In their eyes, Jiang Heng's strength was indeed remarkable. However, Jiang Heng had only achieved the Great Perfection of the Ancient Sacred Body, which meant that his physical body had entered the Quasi-Saint realm.

This is very similar to the situation of the Ancestral Witches, but the Ancestral Witches were born with great supernatural powers, while Jiang Heng still lacks this.

The Lord of the Styx was born from the Netherworld Blood Sea and is a natural-born master of supernatural powers, possessing several powerful companion spiritual treasures.

First, let's talk about the Abi Yuantu sword. It is an extremely powerful innate spiritual treasure, and it also has the ability to kill without incurring karma, so it can be said to have endless uses.

The Karmic Fire Red Lotus is one of the four great twelve-grade lotus platforms. Legend has it that it was transformed from the lotus seed of the Chaos Green Lotus. It is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities.

The Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, one of the Five Primordial Flags, is also in the hands of the Styx Master. It is a Primordial Spiritual Treasure that is comparable to the Li Di Yan Guang Flag.

Among all the quasi-saints, the Styx Master possessed not only a large number of innate spiritual treasures, but also top-notch quality.

The Styx Cult Master's cultivation level is definitely among the highest of all Quasi-Saints.

In the beginning, the Lord of the Styx imitated the goddess Nuwa in creating humans, thus creating the Asura race. Although this did not make the Lord of the Styx a saint, he did not gain nothing.

The Lord of the Styx created the Asura race, and Heaven still bestowed merit upon him, which allowed him to sever one of his corpses, thus greatly advancing his cultivation.

Among all the quasi-saints in the primordial world, the Styx Master's strength is definitely among the top level, even surpassing the Demon Master Kunpeng by a significant margin.

This is why the Lord of the Styx is so confident; as long as the Supreme Saint does not intervene, he is confident that Jiang Heng cannot be his opponent.

"Alright! We'll wait until that Grand Master Xuandu leaves the human race. He'll just be preaching, right? Can he be preaching for thousands of years?" Demon Master Kunpeng said gloomily.

Subsequently, Demon Master Kunpeng and Styx Patriarch discussed the matter carefully for a long time, devising various plans to take action against Jiang Heng after Grand Master Xuandu left the human race.

Jiang Heng was naturally unaware of this, but he knew without guessing that there were definitely many people in the primordial world who were interested in the human race.

In this battle against Donghuang Taiyi, Jiang Heng inevitably exposed his strength, making it difficult for him to avoid attracting attention.

But faced with the calamity that befell humanity, Jiang Heng had no other choice. If he didn't fight Donghuang Taiyi, humanity would immediately face annihilation.

In the original historical trajectory, because the demon race wanted to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword, hundreds of millions of humans were slaughtered by the demon race.

Nearly 90% of the human race perished, with only a small portion escaping. After a long period of recuperation, the human race flourished once again.

Since arriving in the primordial world, Jiang Heng has been working tirelessly to develop the human race, which has finally brought about the current situation.

To bring calamity upon humanity? To cause the tragic deaths of billions of humans? If that were truly the case, what was the purpose of Jiang Heng's countless efforts?

It would be better to find a place to cultivate in seclusion, or to join the sage's sect, and then emerge from seclusion when the human race prospers. Wouldn't that eliminate all danger?

Although the current situation is not ideal, and the demon race will certainly not give up easily, it is the best outcome for the entire human race.

Grand Master Xuandu will continue to preach among the human race for another thousand years. This will be a thousand years of rapid development for the human race, and it will also be the last accumulation of strength for the entire human race.

Even if the demon race attacks again a thousand years from now, the human race will definitely not be as passive as it is now.

"I also need to break through to the Great Emperor realm as soon as possible!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.

With the help of the pressure from Donghuang Taiyi, Jiang Heng has already begun to cultivate all the classics and integrate all the Dao into one body, and the path to ultimate strength has begun to take shape.

Once Jiang Heng's unique path to ultimate power matures, it will be the moment when Jiang Heng breaks free from his cocoon and transforms into a butterfly, stepping into the realm of the Great Emperor.

Time flies, and a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye! During these thousand years, the human race lived in peace and tranquility, as did the entire primordial world.

But this calm seemed somewhat eerie, as both the witch and demon races unanimously restrained their people, trying their best to avoid friction between the two races.

In the past, even with the Dao Ancestor's prohibition, the conflict between the Wu and Yao races never ceased.

However, not a single decent battle has taken place so far, and many people understand that this is just the calm before the storm.

Some powerful figures have already guessed that the Lich and Demon races are accumulating strength, and an unprecedented war is probably not far off.

After all, the Dao Ancestor only set a timeframe of 100,000 years back then, and now, the 100,000-year deadline is not far off.

For the past thousand years, Grand Master Xuandu has been preaching among the human race. All those who have embarked on the path of cultivation have come to listen to his teachings.

This was also something that Grand Master Xuandu was extremely satisfied with. With so many humans coming to listen to his teachings, his mission this time could be considered a complete success.

"Today will be my last day preaching among humans. I hope you will all gain something and have some enlightenment!" said Grand Master Xuandu.

Today is the last day that Grand Master Xuandu will preach in the human race. Grand Master Xuandu has made it clear that after today, his mission to preach in the human race will come to an end.

After Grand Master Xuandu finished his sermon, countless humans came forward, knelt on the ground, and thanked Grand Master Xuandu for his sermon.

Even Jiang Heng said with a grateful expression, "Fellow Daoist's mission to spread the Dao among our human race is truly a blessing for us!"

Regardless of what Grand Master Xuandu's purpose was in spreading his teachings among the human race, countless humans have benefited immensely from it during the thousand years that Grand Master Xuandu has been spreading his teachings.

Perhaps many humans will not switch to the methods taught by Grand Master Xuandu, but the teachings of Grand Master Xuandu have indeed been of great help to the human race.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for that. I am also a human. It is my heart's desire for the human race to continue to grow and prosper!" said Grand Master Xuandu.

Countless humans bowed in gratitude once again. Grand Master Xuandu had not only taught the human race the Dao, but had also protected them when the demon race attacked.

"Fellow Daoist, please rest assured, the human race will surely grow stronger!" Jiang Heng said firmly.

"With a great leader like you, Fellow Daoist, the future of humanity is promising. Alright, I have stayed in the human race for a thousand years, and it is time for me to return."

"Fellow Daoist, please be cautious. The demon race will certainly not let this go easily. You must proceed with care!" said Grand Master Xuandu.

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist!" Jiang Heng nodded in agreement.

The fact that Grand Master Xuandu still cared about the human race was quite rare, which changed Jiang Heng's opinion of him.

After bidding farewell to Jiang Heng and the others, Grand Master Xuandu flew directly to the outside of the Thirty-Three Heavens, where the Daoist temple established by the Sage Taiqing was located.

"With the departure of Grand Master Xuandu, I imagine some people must be getting restless!" Jiang Heng muttered to himself.

As long as Grand Master Xuandu remains among the human race, it means that the innate treasure, the Taiji Diagram, is also among the human race.

With the innate supreme treasure Taiji Diagram, Jiang Heng was an existence that even Donghuang Taiyi could not kill, so some people with ulterior motives naturally had to give up.

But now, Grand Master Xuandu has left the human race and lost the innate treasure Taiji Diagram. Jiang Heng is at most just a powerful figure comparable to an Ancestral Witch.

The moment Grand Master Xuandu left the human race, the Lord of the Styx, who had been silent for thousands of years in the Netherworld Blood Sea, stepped into the Blood Sea.

At the same time, Demon Master Kunpeng also secretly came from the demon race towards the human race, and the two powerful figures soon met near the human race.

"Today will be the day of death for that human!" the Styx Lord said in a deep voice.

"We still need to be careful about this matter. There are more than just the two of us watching that human!" said Demon Master Kunpeng.

"You're right. We'll sneak into the human race first, then find an opportunity to strike and kill them in one fell swoop!" the Styx Lord said in a deep voice.

Demon Master Kunpeng nodded, and the two powerful figures concealed all traces of themselves, slowly sneaking towards the human race.
