Primordial Era: Mistaking the Jade Emperor for My Son at the Start

Dao Ancestor Hongjun indifferently glanced at the Grand Pure Sage and beckoned, "God-Beating Whip, come."

"The Jade Emperor has failed in his duties, causing the suffering of countless beings in the Primordial Era. His Quasi-Saint cultivation is stripped, and he shall be punished with twenty lashes!"

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment descended, shrouding the Jade Emperor in a massive pillar of light.

"Heh," the Jade Emperor roared, looking up at the sky. The divine light intended to force him to his knees, but his face was resolute. He looked up at the heavens, unyielding.

The divine light intensified, pressing the Jade Emperor down to his knees. Yet, gritting his teeth, he withstood the crushing, supreme force. Even as blood spilled from his lips, he refused to break, his legs swaying precariously as he slowly stood up again!

My dear reader, there is more to this chapter! Please click the next page to continue reading for even more excitement!

The Jade Emperor straightened his back, glaring defiantly at the Eye of Heavenly Punishment with unbridled arrogance.

He bows to no heaven! He bows to no earth! He bows only to his father, Zhang Yifan!

This Eye of Heavenly Punishment is not worthy!

The Jade Emperor exuded an overwhelming aura of dominance, his imperial presence surging ceaselessly. His figure was majestic and tall, standing out from the rest, deeply moving and astonishing all the celestial gods.

Unknowingly, the eyes of the gods had become moist, but their hearts burned with even greater fervor than before.

This Jade Emperor is worth following!

Dying for such a Jade Emperor is worth it!

This spirit, this dominance, this arrogance—this is the true Jade Emperor!

Even Sect Master Tongtian, the Grand Pure Sage, and the other Sages couldn't help but glance over, sighing at how unyielding the Jade Emperor's bones were.

However, the Jade Emperor's peak Quasi-Saint cultivation was instantly stripped, dropping him to the late Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. But the Jade Emperor remained unfazed, thinking he could just eat a few more meals at his father Zhang Yifan's place.

Immediately, the God-Beating Whip struck down!

The Jade Emperor's skin split open, and his tattered imperial robes were stained with blood.

Yet, the Jade Emperor's face remained proud, his imperial majesty undiminished, as unmoving as a mountain. His body didn't even tremble.

"Father Emperor!"

The Seven Fairies cried out, attempting to rush forward, but were held back by the Queen Mother.

Another whip.

The Jade Emperor stood tall and proud, hands behind his back, coldly facing Hongjun as he calmly accepted his punishment.

Despite his skin splitting and bones breaking, the Jade Emperor didn't utter a single cry of pain. He even calmly and gracefully adjusted his imperial robes.

Holy crap!

He really pulled that off!

Sect Master Tongtian and the others couldn't help but feel admiration!

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up, her face filled with adoration. So handsome! This is my man!

The Jade Emperor? The Lord of the Three Realms?

Even the Lord of the Three Realms, under heavenly punishment, could only endure the lashes. Even Sages were no exception.

This is the Primordial Era continent.

In this world, only one person reigns supreme: Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The Primordial Era continent belongs to only one person: Dao Ancestor Hongjun!

He is the heaven here!

The Jade Emperor and even the Sages are merely chess pieces at his mercy.

I, Zhang Bairen, will never be such a Jade Emperor!

The Jade Emperor secretly swore that Dao Ancestor Hongjun would surely be cut into ten thousand pieces and tortured to death!

In a single thought, the Jade Emperor stood proudly, his imperial majesty growing even stronger. His imperial aura surged like a tsunami, shocking everyone present. Even Hongjun couldn't help but secretly praise the Jade Emperor's arrogance.

The mortal realm.

In Zhang Yifan's courtyard.

The Kirin Ancestor, a large black dog, was currently looking at the Jade Emperor in astonishment.

The nine Golden Crows and the Dragon Ancestor, a large golden fish, also turned their heads, secretly marveling: This young master, the Jade Emperor, is indeed extraordinary.

During the Lich Calamity, the dominance, majesty, and imperial aura of the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan were nothing compared to the current Jade Emperor.

"Grandpa, the Jade Emperor is getting whipped," Yang Jian said.

"Getting whipped?" Zhang Yifan raised an eyebrow. "What's going on?"

So, Yang Jian recounted what he had seen and heard to Zhang Yifan.

"Hahahaha, well whipped! Excellently whipped!"

But after hearing it, Zhang Yifan clapped his hands and laughed, even praising the whipping!

Huh?

The Kirin Ancestor, the Dragon Ancestor, the nine Golden Crows, and Yang Jian were all utterly bewildered.

"Grandpa, why is this?" Yang Jian couldn't understand no matter how much he thought about it.

"This whip isn't lashing the Jade Emperor, it's lashing all beings in the Primordial Era, it's lashing the Sages!" Zhang Yifan chuckled.

"Lashing the Sages?"

Yang Jian and the others were even more puzzled. The one being whipped was clearly the Jade Emperor, so how did it become lashing the Sages?

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun is displaying his supreme authority."

"The Heaven-Protecting Formation can be withdrawn at will. The authority to mobilize the power of the Three Realms can be locked down at will. He can grant you supreme and noble status, and he can also treat you like a lamb to be slaughtered."

"The peak cultivation of a Quasi-Saint, achieved through billions of years of diligent practice, was easily stripped away in a single morning."

"If Dao Ancestor Hongjun can strip away the Jade Emperor's cultivation today, can he not strip away the cultivation of the Sages tomorrow?"

"If he can whip the noble and supreme ruler of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court, today, can he not whip the Sages tomorrow?"

"You think Dao Ancestor Hongjun is whipping the Jade Emperor, but in reality, he is lashing the Sages! Making them behave, putting them in their place."

"The Sages, as well as all beings, are merely cogs in the machine arranged by the Heavenly Dao, each with their own destiny, not allowed to deviate even half a step."

Ah?!!

Kirin Ancestor, Yang Jian, and the others were greatly shocked.

This seemed to be true!

"Then why is it a good thing that he's being beaten?" Yang Jian was still confused.

"From this point on, the Sages, the great powers of the Primordial Era, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun will be at odds with each other." Zhang Yifan chuckled. "Dao Ancestor Hongjun is like a tyrant right now."

"What do ordinary people do under a tyrant?" Zhang Yifan asked Yang Jian.

"Rebel!" Yang Jian's face changed drastically, and then he smiled.

"One of the conditions for the Primordial Era world to advance is to slay Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor. Now, Dao Ancestor Hongjun has personally pushed all the great powers of the Primordial Era to his opposite side. This is indeed not a bad thing."

"Oh, you've finally seen the light. Hongjun is lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot." Zhang Yifan chuckled. But why has this Primordial continent changed? Something's not right.

Above the Heavenly Court.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor also thought of this.

Grand Pure Sage, Sage Jieyin, Sage Zhunti, Nuwa, Sect Master Tongtian, and the other Sages also had their minds in turmoil.

Although the one being punished was the Jade Emperor, no one could bring themselves to laugh or gloat.

Even the Grand Pure Sage frowned, showing no hint of joy at seeing his enemy suffer.

Sect Master Tongtian took a deep breath and suddenly spoke, "Teacher, that's enough! Stop!"

???

???

???

Sage Jieyin, Sage Zhunti, and Nuwa all turned to look at Sect Master Tongtian.

He's actually provoking Dao Ancestor Hongjun at this moment?

Hongjun acted as if he hadn't heard, and did not stop.

Sect Master Tongtian's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of the Jade Emperor, grabbing the whip Hongjun was using to lash!

Ah?!!

All the Sages were stunned!

The many great powers of the Primordial Era were also stunned!

Sect Master Tongtian actually stopped Hongjun from punishing the Jade Emperor, and even stepped forward to snatch the whip?

Sect Master Tongtian is truly f***ing awesome!

He actually dared to step forward at this moment!

Just this courage alone was enough to awe the Primordial Era!

"What?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun looked at Tongtian, his expression still indifferent, without a ripple.

"I said you've had enough!" Sect Master Tongtian faced Dao Ancestor Hongjun directly, showing no weakness.

"You will receive the punishment you deserve later. Get aside." Dao Ancestor Hongjun waved his hand, flicking Sect Master Tongtian aside.

Even a Sage could not resist this power.

"You old fool!" Sect Master Tongtian suddenly roared, "You are unworthy of being the Dao Ancestor!"
