"How could this be!"
But at this moment, the two Perfected Grand Master Golden Immortal Tiger Demons could no longer care about anything else. Their hearts were filled with utter terror!
They had thought they could easily suppress Jiang Chen to death, yet they could not even break through the giant palm he had condensed with his strength!
Moreover, they even showed faint signs of retreating in defeat!
Feeling the boundless pressure descending from above, the two Tiger Demons were shocked.
They were both Perfected Grand Master Golden Immortals. They had even brought out their innate spiritual treasures and joined forces, yet they still could not defeat a single Perfected Grand Master Golden Immortal?
Besides that, the young man standing atop the True Dragon radiated an aura that chilled them to the bone. It was as if the person before them was not a Perfected Grand Master Golden Immortal, but an ancient god or demon!
At this thought, they were even more astonished.
They had only felt this kind of sensation from their own Demon Emperor before. Could the young man before them actually stand shoulder to shoulder with their Demon Emperor?
How could they know that this was caused by Jiang Chen's Top-tier Innate Divine Spirit physique? A Top-tier Innate Divine Spirit possessed one of the most supreme physiques in the Primordial World, and was the most ancient kind of divine spirit aside from the Chaos Gods and Demons. What was more, Jiang Chen had downloaded his abilities from Tongtian the Saint, making him the very pinnacle among the pinnacle!
Tiger Demons like them were merely low-level Innate Gods, so Jiang Chen completely crushed them at the level of their origins. That was why they felt such bone-deep fear, and why they were already weakened by thirty percent before the battle even began.
Jiang Chen, however, had been taught by the Three Pure Ones Saints and had gathered all their divine abilities within him. Even if ten Perfected Grand Master Golden Immortals came at him, he would not fear them. Now there were only two, and their strength had already been reduced by thirty percent. Thus, they revealed signs of defeat the moment they clashed!
"Brat, I am a member of the demon race. If you kill me, the Heavenly Court of my demon race will never let you off!"
Seeing that he was about to lose while the sky-covering giant palm continued to descend slowly, the Tiger Demon resisted with all his might and shouted threats, hoping to make Jiang Chen stop.
However, if he had remained silent, things might have been fine. The moment he spoke, Jiang Chen laughed.
"What is this demon race supposed to be?"
Faced with the Tiger Demon's threats, Jiang Chen was not the slightest bit afraid. Instead, he let out a derisive laugh.
What a joke. In terms of strength, I might not be able to defeat everyone. After all, I'm only a Perfected Grand Master Golden Immortal right now.
But in terms of background, who have I ever feared? I'm confident I can rank among the top ten in the Primordial World!
He was the eldest disciple of the Interception Sect, after all, and standing behind him was Tongtian the Saint!
Without becoming a Saint, one would remain nothing more than an ant!
So what if it was the demon race?
They were nothing special!
Hearing the disdain in Jiang Chen's words, the Tiger Demon was both furious and shocked. They did not know Jiang Chen's identity, but seeing someone belittle their demon race, they could not help becoming enraged.
However, Jiang Chen gave them no further chance to speak. He increased the force in his hand, releasing all the magic power within his body!
That was right. Previously, he had only used fifty percent of his strength. Now, he was using his full power!
He had broken through several major realms in succession, so naturally he was somewhat unfamiliar with his strength. It was only natural that he had relaxed his control for a moment.
Fortunately, battle was always the best way to stabilize one's realm. At this moment, he could already completely control the power within his body!
As for the Tiger Demons—
Once Jiang Chen unleashed his full strength, the pressure on them suddenly increased. Their expressions changed drastically as they struggled with all their might to resist.
They had struggled to withstand even fifty percent of his strength. Now, there was no need to mention what happened next.
Rumble!
In an instant, under the horrified gazes of everyone present, the sky-covering giant palm broke through the Tiger Demons' defenses and slammed into the Primordial earth!
Amid a series of shrieks, the Tiger Demons were crushed into a mass of flesh and blood!
Thus, the two Perfected Grand Master Golden Immortal Tiger Demons and the group of more than a dozen Earth Immortals were all crushed to death by Jiang Chen with a casual turn of his hand!
From beginning to end, he had not even taken a single step forward.
After suppressing the Tiger Demons to death, Jiang Chen lowered his head and glanced around. Riding Ao Yu, he descended to the ground, finally having time to look toward the Human Race nearby.
Perhaps because Jiang Chen had been too ferocious when suppressing the Tiger Demons, no one dared meet his gaze wherever it fell. They seemed somewhat afraid.
"Many thanks for saving our lives, Immortal Elder. May I ask which senior of the Human Race you are?"
At this moment, an old man suddenly stepped forward.
"My name is Jiang Chen. Several thousand years ago, I was accepted as a disciple here by my master, Tongtian. I wonder if anyone still remembers?"
Jiang Chen revealed his identity. As if afraid they would not know who he was, he deliberately pointed out that he was from several thousand years ago.
However, he had underestimated the impact of that event back then.
"What? You're Senior Jiang Chen!"
"It is said that Senior Jiang Chen possesses unparalleled talent. Countless Great Powers fought to take him as a disciple, and in the end, he was accepted as a disciple by Tongtian the Saint!"
"So Senior Jiang Chen has returned! No wonder he is so powerful!"
Exclamations rang out one after another. Many people's eyes lit up as they seemed to recall what had happened back then.
Clearly, that event had made a considerable impact. Even after several thousand years, its legend still remained.
Faced with everyone's praise, Jiang Chen neither affirmed nor denied it. He did not linger on the subject, but instead looked toward the old man. "You are the current clan leader?"
This man was the strongest member of the Human Race, possessing only the cultivation of a mid-stage Earth Immortal. It was no wonder the Human Race had fallen into such a state.
However, the old man's following answer surprised Jiang Chen somewhat.
"That's right, Senior. This old man's name is Suiren Shi!"
Suiren Shi!
Hearing the old man's answer, Jiang Chen was slightly startled.
This name was as famous as thunder. He was one of the Three Sovereigns of later generations, the Earthly Emperor and Ancestor of Fire. Could this man be him?
Soon, Jiang Chen realized that his guess was likely correct. Given the current state of the Human Race, there was probably no one else who would share Suiren Shi's name. In other words, the old man before him was the same Suiren Shi from his memories!
At this thought, Jiang Chen's gaze toward him changed.
"Suiren Shi, why is the Human Race so weak?"
After realizing Suiren Shi's identity and thinking of the Human Race's current state, Jiang Chen asked without thinking.
But the moment he finished speaking, he knew that his question was rather foolish.
Although the Human Race had been created by Empress Nuwa, she had not given them much protection. Perhaps her name alone had provided them with considerable protection.
As for this matter, one should not speak of the affairs of a position one did not occupy. Jiang Chen did not dare say too much about his own thoughts.
Yet he understood that the Human Race currently had neither a powerful backing nor any outstanding innate aptitude. How could they not be weak? The fact that they had not been exterminated was probably already due to the protection afforded by Empress Nuwa's name.
Sure enough, just as Jiang Chen expected, Suiren Shi's bitter voice soon rang out.
"Senior, you followed a Saint in cultivation from a young age, so there are some things you do not know. When a member of our Human Race falls ill, they may die. Without cultivation, they will grow old and die after a little more than a hundred years. Sudden changes in the weather in the Primordial World may also kill them. Besides that, they must guard against attacks from demon beasts..."
"Not to mention that the Human Race does not even possess a cultivation method. Thus, our Human Race is naturally frail and weak, becoming the lowest-ranking race in the Primordial World!"
Suiren Shi bitterly described the Human Race's current circumstances.
When he heard the first half, Jiang Chen remained silent.
But when he heard Suiren Shi's final sentence, he disagreed.
"Who says our Human Race is the lowest-ranking race? That is completely wrong!"
"In ancient times, the primordial ferocious beasts ran rampant. Back then, how similar were the three races of dragons, phoenixes, and Kirin to our Human Race? Yet why did they rise, even going so far as to contend for supremacy over the Primordial World?"
"In the antiquity era, the three races of dragons, phoenixes, and Kirin ruled the Primordial World. The Witch-Demon races and our Human Race were likewise similar. Yet why did they rise, eventually reaching the point where the demons ruled Heaven and the witches governed Earth?"
"If the three races of dragons, phoenixes, and Kirin, as well as the Witch-Demon races, could accomplish this, why can't our Human Race?!"
Jiang Chen's impassioned words rang out. In an instant, countless examples poured from his mouth, and he was filled with exasperation at their failure to live up to their potential.
Although some of the details might not have been accurate, at least the comparison was correct!
However, that was enough!
Boom!
As Jiang Chen's words fell, everyone in the Human Race, including Suiren Shi, exploded with excitement. Their thoughts became completely clear, as if they had just awakened from a dream!
That was right. Why could others accomplish it, but the Human Race alone could not?
Impossible! Our Human Race was inferior to no one!
If that was the case, did the Human Race also have a chance to become the protagonist of Heaven and Earth?
At this thought, everyone's eyes lit up. Hope appeared in their gazes, as if they had already seen themselves in that future.
"Suiren Shi knows his mistake. Thank you for your guidance, Senior!"
Having emerged from his self-pity, Suiren Shi seemed to see the beautiful future ahead. His entire body trembled involuntarily with excitement. Once he recovered, he hurriedly clasped his hands toward Jiang Chen and expressed his thanks!
Words of supreme truth!
This was practically a maxim of supreme truth!
Suiren Shi knew that Jiang Chen's words would likely influence countless generations of the Human Race. They would be recorded in the history of the Human Race and never forgotten!
"May this old man be so bold as to ask, Senior—do you have any way to improve the Human Race?"
