Having made up his mind, Chu Yan's entire body erupted with murderous aura that soared to the heavens.
Crackle...
Killing Intent transformed into lightning, swirling around Chu Yan.
"This... what is Chu Yan trying to do? Such fierce Killing Intent."
"Could it be... he intends to kill Taiqing?"
Holy shit...
Countless Great Powers of the Primordial instantly thought of this possibility, yet they denied it just as quickly.
"No, that's impossible. Chu Yan is but a mortal, relying solely on the will and destiny of the Human Race. Though the Human Race Destiny is flourishing, killing Taiqing is still impossible—he carries the merit of Pangu's Heaven-Opening."
"Well said. Taiqing wields the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram, and is the Dao Ancestor's first disciple. How could Chu Yan possibly kill him?"
Endless Great Powers speculated among themselves, but the next moment, Chu Yan gave them their answer.
"Rise—!"
Boom...
The terrifying will of hundreds of thousands of humans erupted violently, and a colossal Golden Giant rose from the ground.
In an instant, boundless, horrifying Killing Intent surged straight into the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Even Nuwa, a Saint, was frightened by this dreadful Killing Intent.
"Is Chu Yan really going to kill Senior Brother Taiqing?"
Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin and Zhunti, Nuwa, and even Hongjun—all turned their gazes here.
They watched as the will of the Human Race condensed into a Golden Giant, and the Killing Intent of all humanity erupted together, shaking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
"Condense—!"
Chu Yan reached out with one hand, and a long spear appeared in the Golden Giant's grasp, its entire body blood-red.
The moment this spear appeared, the clear sky for ten thousand miles instantly turned pitch black.
Boom...
Terrifying Killing Intent spread from this blood-red spear.
"This... this... the God Slaying Spear? How can it be the God Slaying Spear?"
Sensing the overwhelming murderous aura radiating from the blood-red spear, all the Great Powers stumbled backward in fear.
That was the God Slaying Spear—even a Saint would suffer calamity upon encountering it.
"Damn it, the God Slaying Spear?"
Saint Nuwa's expression shifted drastically. Hadn't the God Slaying Spear vanished after the Dao-Demon Conflict? How could it appear in Chu Yan's hands?
"No, this is not the God Slaying Spear."
Tongtian's eyes snapped open, turning into two laser beams that shot straight toward Chu Yan.
"This is a Killing Spear formed from the Human Race's Killing Intent, representing the murderous will of humanity."
Tongtian, who controlled the Immortal Slaying Four Swords, was far too familiar with such Killing Intent.
"What?"
The moment Tongtian spoke these words, countless Great Powers' faces changed dramatically.
They immediately looked toward the Primordial Human Race, and what they saw sent chills down their spines.
Every single member of the Primordial Human Race—whether old or young—had eyes filled with nothing but Killing Intent, all fixed on Taiqing.
There was no doubt about it: all of humanity was dead set on destroying Taiqing.
Chu Yan reached out with one hand, and the Human Race Killing Spear transformed into a streak of red light, shooting straight toward Taiqing.
"Taiqing, die—!"
Boom...
The void exploded with a deafening roar, and Taiqing's expression changed drastically.
The next instant, Chu Yan had already appeared before him.
Taiqing felt an unprecedented aura of death envelop him.
"So fast."
Bang—.
The sheer force of the spear strike sent Taiqing plummeting directly out of the Primordial, a sharp pain tearing through his chest.
"Chu Yan, you dare kill me—?"
Taiqing couldn't believe it. Chu Yan truly dared to go for the kill.
If the Innate Supreme Treasure hadn't automatically protected its master, that strike would have already pierced through Taiqing's chest.
Although it could not die, that was the Human Race's spear of slaughter, carrying the endless karma of the Human Race.
They only saw Chu Yan standing proudly in the void, exuding overwhelming dominance.
"There is nothing I dare not do. No matter who it is, if they dare to scheme against the Human Race, I will kill them. Even if you are a sage, I, Laozi, dare to slay you."
As his words fell, Chu Yan struck again. A flash of red light passed, and in the next instant, he was already a thousand miles away.
"Taiqing, your life is mine—!"
"Taiji Diagram."
At the critical moment, Taiqing brought out the Taiji Diagram, which instantly erupted with light, blocking the way forward.
Weng—.
Between their collision, countless terrifying energies scattered in all directions.
Taiqing consumed his mana, while Chu Yan frantically burned the Human Race's destiny.
The two stalemated for a long time, directly leveling everything around them.
Boundless, terrifying Killing Intent flooded the entire Primordial World.
"Taiqing, die—!"
Hoo hoo hoo...
In an instant, Chu Yan's entire body blazed with raging flames.
"Look, Chu Yan is burning the Human Race's destiny. He's really going to fight Taiqing to the death."
"Chu Yan truly dares to kill Taiqing. This man is a madman."
Countless Great Powers watched this battle, their hearts trembling with fear.
A race that had only emerged for a hundred years could actually unleash such terrifying power.
"Chu Yan, you bastard."
Taiqing roared in fury and counterattacked instantly.
A terrifying shockwave erupted, smoke and dust filling the air.
Pfft—.
Chu Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body flying backward a thousand miles.
At this sight, countless living beings gasped in shock.
"Holding the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram, Taiqing stands undefeated. His defense is unbreakable. Chu Yan cannot win."
"No, look. Chu Yan doesn't seem to have given up."
All living beings looked and saw Chu Yan burning the Human Race's destiny even more fiercely.
The Killing Spear in his hand grew deeper and colder, its chill intensifying.
Spear light swelled for over a hundred miles, and everything around was shattered by this terrifying killing aura.
"Is Chu Yan insane? Burning the Human Race's destiny like this—does he not want to live?"
"Madman. This damn guy is a complete madman."
Countless Great Powers watched, their hearts pounding with fear, their scalps tingling.
This Chu Yan was truly insane.
"No."
Suddenly, Tongtian's expression changed drastically, then shifted to shock and admiration.
"Chu Yan is indeed burning destiny, but the Human Race's aura is growing stronger."
"What's going on?"
Tongtian was truly impressed.
"Chu Yan is a man of great perseverance and great wisdom. He can even do this—using destiny as nourishment to temper the Human Race's will. He is forging a sacred weapon for the Human Race, the Killing Spear. Once it is successfully forged, the Human Race will no longer need destiny. They only need their weapons to carve out a world of their own."
"What? That would mean..."
Everyone thought of a possibility they dared not imagine.
In this Primordial World, no matter who they were, everyone needed destiny.
To become a sage required destiny and merit.
Every race needed destiny to survive, or else they would die.
Yet there was only one way to live without destiny, and as long as one did not die, they would only grow stronger.
"Prove Dao by Force?"
Boom rumble rumble...
Those four words flashed through everyone's minds, followed by a thunderclap.
Countless Great Powers' faces changed drastically.
Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun was instantly shocked.
"Damn it, Chu Yan actually wants to walk the path of Proving Dao by Force. If he succeeds, the Primordial World will lose the Protagonist of Heaven and Earth, and then the General Trend is bound to change."
Hongjun could no longer sit still. If the Human Race proved Dao by Force, what business would it be of his? As long as Chu Yan succeeded in proving Dao, a single punch would be enough to shatter the Heavenly Dao.
Hongjun was about to make a move to stop him when he suddenly sensed something.
"Since you're so fond of burning the Human Race Destiny, then go ahead and burn it. Walking the path of Proving Dao by Force is no simple matter."
Across the Primordial World, countless Great Powers were stunned by Chu Yan's display.
None of them knew what to say, never expecting Chu Yan to be so decisive.
Since all the strong had come for the Human Race Destiny, he simply took out incense and burned all of that destiny, leaving them with nothing to gain.
