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

Chapter 57 Threat!

The Lord of the Styx unleashed a sword strike imbued with his strongest killing intent, cleaving Jiang Heng's physical body and turning him into a shower of blood.

Suirenshi and the others were in a panic, thinking that Jiang Heng had been killed by the Lord of the Styx. They had no idea how to deal with the situation that was about to unfold.

The Lord of the Styx was at the height of his power, and Jiang Heng was undoubtedly a formidable opponent for him. How could he not be pleased to be able to defeat such a powerful enemy?

But just then, Jiang Heng's voice rang out again, and Suirenshi and the others immediately showed expressions of surprise.

The Lord of the Styx was stunned and looked around in disbelief, trying to find Jiang Heng's whereabouts.

Suddenly, the rain of blood, summoned by an invisible force, gathered together again, and once more coalesced into the figure of Jiang Heng.

"Impossible!" the Styx Cult Leader exclaimed in disbelief.

The Lord of the Styx had absolute confidence in his deadly sword strike just now; it was a strike that embodied his supreme killing intent.

With that sword strike, the Lord of the Styx was confident that he could extinguish all of Jiang Heng's life force, so how could he give Jiang Heng another chance to reassemble his physical body?

But the facts were undeniable: Jiang Heng had reassembled his physical body right before his eyes, and his deadly sword strike had failed to achieve its intended effect.

"Nothing is impossible. If you were a little stronger, you might be able to kill me completely, but unfortunately, you are not strong enough!" Jiang Heng said calmly.

The Styx Cult Master's sword strike was indeed terrifying. Under that strike, Jiang Heng's physical body instantly collapsed, turning into a rain of blood.

Not only that, but in that instant just now, Jiang Heng's consciousness was almost completely extinguished by the endless killing intent.

If that's the case, then Jiang Heng has been completely annihilated, so how could he possibly have any chance to rebuild his physical body?

Unfortunately, just as Jiang Heng said, the Styx Lord's strength was still somewhat lacking, and he was not able to extinguish all of Jiang Heng's life force.

The Lord of the Styx underestimated the power of the Nine Secrets. The mystery before cultivation not only allowed Jiang Heng to foresee danger in advance, but also made Jiang Heng's divine sense incredibly powerful.

At the moment of certain death, Jiang Heng's potential was fully unleashed, and he glimpsed a glimmer of life from the brink of death, preventing his consciousness from being completely extinguished.

The existence of the Secret of the One gives Jiang Heng the opportunity to reshape his physical body as long as he is not completely annihilated, which is why Jiang Heng was able to recover.

"No! Your aura is so weak. It seems that although my sword strike just now failed to kill you, it wasn't entirely without effect."

In your current state, how can you possibly fight me? If you know what's good for you, obediently hand over that thing, and I, your ancestor, might spare your life.

Otherwise, this is a human realm. With my strength, annihilating billions of humans would be a piece of cake!

The Lord of the Styx, as expected of a giant who has survived from ancient times, was surprised that Jiang Heng could still survive under those circumstances, but he quickly discovered Jiang Heng's true strength and weakness.

The Styx Cult Master's sword strike was so terrifying. Although it didn't completely kill Jiang Heng, how could Jiang Heng have come without paying a price?

Judging from Jiang Heng's weakened aura, the Styx Cult Master's sword strike had severely injured him.

In the eyes of the Styx Cult Master, even if Jiang Heng still had the strength to fight again, it would be considered good if he could unleash half of his power.

Even so, because Jiang Heng had a variety of tricks up his sleeve and repeatedly turned the tide of battle with incredible methods, the Styx Cult Master was still not confident that he could kill Jiang Heng.

But just as the Lord of the Styx said, this is the place where the human race, hundreds of millions of humans, live, and it is also Jiang Heng's weakness.

Even if he wasn't confident of completely killing Jiang Heng, with the strength of the Styx Lord, annihilating billions of humans would still be a piece of cake, even with Jiang Heng severely injured.

Unless Jiang Heng truly doesn't care about the lives of billions of humans, the Styx Cult Master has completely grasped Jiang Heng's weakness.

"You're right, I can't stop myself from being in my current state, but getting back to my peak condition isn't actually that difficult for me!"

Despite hearing the threat from the Lord of the Styx, Jiang Heng remained calm. Having been threatened once before, how could Jiang Heng allow the human race to be threatened again?

With a wave of his hand, an elixir of immortality appeared in Jiang Heng's hand; it was the Peach Immortality Elixir that Jiang Heng had once redeemed in the system shop.

After picking the peach of immortality, Jiang Heng put it directly into his mouth. In an instant, Jiang Heng's originally weak aura became incredibly strong.

"Impossible! What kind of elixir is this that has such an effect!" The Styx Cult Leader's expression changed again, his tone full of surprise.

The elixir of immortality is a peerless elixir that can allow an emperor to live another life. It is already a waste of its potential for Jiang Heng to use it to heal his injuries.

But facing a behemoth like the Lord of the Styx, Jiang Heng couldn't give him even the slightest chance. Otherwise, given the Lord of the Styx's ruthlessness, he would definitely keep his word.

The Lord of the Styx stared at Jiang Heng with a gloomy expression, watching as Jiang Heng returned to his full strength, and was constantly thinking of countermeasures in his mind.

Using the demon master Kunpeng as bait, they finally found an opportunity for a fatal blow. They originally thought they had the upper hand completely, but who would have thought that things would turn out like this?

The Styx Cult Master's strength is still above Jiang Heng's, and among the human race, he can come and go as he pleases.

However, if Jiang Heng cannot be completely killed and the Primordial Purple Qi cannot be seized, everything will become meaningless for the Styx Master.

Moreover, with Jiang Heng entangled, it would be difficult for the Styx Lord to kill billions of humans to threaten Jiang Heng.

"Hmph! I may not be able to do anything to you right now, but with my strength, annihilating billions of humans is still not a difficult task!"

The Lord of the Styx was naturally unwilling to give up so easily, and threatened again, even completely disregarding his own shame.

Jiang Heng's expression changed slightly, and his eyes were filled with intense killing intent as he looked at the Styx Ancestor. He understood the Styx Master's meaning.

The Styx Cult Master attained enlightenment through killing, slaughtering heaven, earth, and all living beings. When it comes to the path of slaughter, the Styx Cult Master is undoubtedly a cult leader.

Even if Jiang Heng were to guard the human race every day, it would be difficult to stop the Styx Lord from attacking ordinary humans.

As long as the Lord of the Styx doesn't confront Jiang Heng directly, he can remain hidden in the shadows, annihilating some humans today and assassinating others tomorrow.

If you can be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days? With the Lord of the Styx constantly watching over us, how much loss will humanity suffer?

"Master of the Styx River, you are courting death! If even one human being dies because of you, I will go to the Sea of ​​Blood and utterly exterminate your Asura race!"

Jiang Heng was furious again. The threat posed by the Styx Cult Master was a nearly unsolvable problem unless the Styx Cult Master was killed completely now.

But with Jiang Heng's current strength, how easy is it to kill a powerhouse of the Styx Cult Master's level?

Jiang Heng was already considering whether to disregard the consequences and take that step now, break through to the Great Emperor realm, and unleash the Heavenly Tribulation.

Putting everything else aside, if Jiang Heng really doesn't care about the consequences, the Heavenly Tribulation alone would be enough to give the Styx Master a hard time.

When Jiang Heng breaks through to the Great Emperor realm and fights the Styx Lord again, he may well have the opportunity to completely kill the Styx Lord.

"Dare to threaten me, your ancestor? Do you believe that when you head to the Netherworld Blood Sea, I can completely exterminate the human race?"

The Lord of the Styx was not one to be easily threatened. Although the Asura race was extremely important to him, he would not compromise at this moment.

"Then let's try it and see if you wipe out my human race first, or if I completely exterminate your Asura race."

Oh, right! I forgot to remind you, the human race was created by the sage Nuwa, and the sage Taiqing established the Human Religion among the human race.

"If you really dare to slaughter the entire human race, I'm afraid you simply cannot bear the wrath of the saints!" Jiang Heng said coldly.

Does the Lord of the Styx want to completely annihilate the human race? Regardless of how the two saints react, the Dao Ancestor would immediately send the Lord of the Styx to complete annihilation.

The Styx Lord's expression grew even more somber. Jiang Heng was right; even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to completely exterminate the human race.

However, the Styx Lord had no doubt that Jiang Heng had the strength and courage to completely annihilate the Asura race.

However, under such circumstances, the Styx Cult Leader was almost in a dilemma. If he retreated like this, he would lose all face.

Just then, a powerful aura rose from the distance, and a tall figure was rapidly approaching the human race.

"The Ancestral Witch?"

The Styx Lord's expression changed again. Only then did he remember that the human in front of him had a close relationship with the Witch Clan.

Back then, in the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Styx Lord witnessed Jiang Heng helping the Ancestral Witch Houtu transform into reincarnation, and he also chatted happily with the other Ancestral Witches.

If Jiang Heng were to summon the Ancestral Witches for assistance, even if the Styx Lord possessed extraordinary abilities, he would likely perish among the human race today.

Thinking of this, the Lord of the Styx dared not hesitate any longer. After giving Jiang Heng one last unwilling look, he turned and left the human race.

Jiang Heng did not stop the Styx Lord. With his current strength, even if he joined forces with an Ancestral Witch, it would be difficult to stop the Styx Lord.

The fact that Jiang Heng could make the Lord of the Styx wary and hesitant to attack the human race was already the limit of what he could do.

"Bring Kunpeng's physical body back. Today, I want the human race to eat the flesh of the Demon Master Kunpeng!" Jiang Heng said to Suirenshi and the others.

Jiang Heng had sworn to tear the Demon Master Kunpeng to pieces, or he would not be human. This time, although he did not completely kill the Demon Master Kunpeng, he destroyed the Demon Master Kunpeng's physical body.

By using the body of the demon master Kunpeng as food and tearing Kunpeng to pieces, which were then distributed among billions of humans, Jiang Heng could be said to have initially fulfilled his vow.

Moreover, as a quasi-saint, the demon master Kunpeng's physical body contains extremely powerful energy, enough to greatly benefit countless humans.

As for the demon master Kunpeng, Jiang Heng would naturally not let him go. There will be a reckoning in the future, and the same will be true for the Styx Master.

Then, Jiang Heng stepped out of the human race and went to greet the Xuanming Ancestral Witch who had come to the human race.
