Humans Defy Heaven's Will: Tongtian Burns His Primordial Spirit to Help Establish the Human Race's Dao Tradition

Yet all living beings understood that the Demon Race of the Heavenly Court was truly finished.

Chu Yan was a madman. If he said he would kill you, there was no escaping him.

Hadn't even a Sage been killed? What chance did the Demon Race have?

"Whoever dares harm the Human Race will be hunted down, no matter how far they flee."

Those words suddenly appeared in the minds of every living being.

"The Demon Race... is finished."

Given Chu Yan's temperament, once he recovered, he would surely take revenge.

"What a pity. Chu Yan is at his weakest right now. The Demon Race might have had a chance if they could have killed him, but the Witch Race has them completely tied down."

Many powerful beings could already see the Demon Race's end.

Who could they have picked a fight with, if not the Human Race?

At that moment, the Primordial World lay in ruins.

Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire raged everywhere. Buzhou Mountain had been burned bare, and countless living beings across the Primordial World had been slaughtered—more than half of them.

The Witch and Demon Races had suffered countless casualties, losing more than half their forces. They probably wouldn't be able to fight again for a long time.

Di Jun had been killed, and River Diagram and Luo Book had vanished without a trace.

Yuanshi Tianzun had been killed twice in succession, sending the Chan Sect's destiny plummeting.

Even the Innate Supreme Treasure, Pangu Banner, had been battered and covered in cracks.

Yuanshi Tianzun no longer dared show his face.

Through this battle, Chu Yan had shown all the beings of the Primordial World that anyone who dared provoke the Human Race would face a fight to the death.

Through this battle, Chu Yan had shown all the beings of the Primordial World that the Human Race could not be bullied...

But the price had been tremendous.

The Human Race's destiny had fallen to rock bottom, with only a thread remaining.

The Human Race's Dao Tradition had collapsed, leaving behind only a trace of its presence.

The One Hundred Thousand Innate Humans were on the brink of death; they could perish at any moment.

Chu Yan's body was barely clinging to life, relying on that last thread of the Human Race's destiny to keep him breathing.

The Human Race had suffered countless casualties, the land of the Primordial World was fractured, and Chu Yan was weighed down by karmic debt.

Worse still, the Killing Calamity had begun. Countless living beings had been caught up in it, and even the Sages could not escape.

They were fortunate Hongjun hadn't entered the fray. Otherwise, even he would have been caught up in the calamity.

Seeing the devastation, all the living beings felt heartsick.

Sect Master Tongtian was also overwhelmed with grief.

Chu Yan had blown up the Human Race's Dao Tradition, severing the future of the Human Race.

Looking up, he saw countless Vengeful Souls drifting across the sky above the Primordial World.

Terrifying baleful energy filled the Primordial World.

The Twelve Ancestor Witches had been beaten until they were utterly drained.

The Demon Heavenly Court had suffered grievous losses, and the Demon Emperor had been killed by Chu Yan.

In a vast crater, Chu Yan gasped for breath.

Blood seeped from the torn wounds covering his body.

The pain was so intense that he was on the verge of passing out. But he still had something to do, so he bit his tongue to stay conscious as long as possible.

"Come on, come on. I have to get up. Get up!"

He kept roaring inside.

The Human Race's Dao Tradition had been blown apart. Only the faintest trace remained, and even that was fading away.

If Chu Yan couldn't establish the Human Race's Dao Tradition before that trace vanished, the Human Race's future would be cut off forever.

Chu Yan had no second chance. If he failed to seize this opportunity,

the Human Race would be doomed.

Even if he managed to establish the Human Race's Dao Tradition now, it had already been battered into ruins by Chu Yan.

The Human Race's fate would only grow more tumultuous. It would remain at the mercy of every storm, and, like other races, might vanish into the river of history.

But he had no choice but to leave it like this.

"Get up! Get up!"

He kept roaring in his heart, but he couldn't summon even a shred of strength.

Suddenly, in that instant, a dragon's roar rang out.

In an instant, the entire Primordial World changed once more.

"Hm? The aura of Humanity Dao?"

"Damn it. Could Humanity Dao be awakening?"

Every living being looked over and saw terrifying auras surging from the crater where Chu Yan lay.

Yet they seemed feeble, strong in appearance but weak within.

"No, this is Humanity Dao forcibly awakening itself. This is a move that kills eight hundred enemies but costs ten thousand of its own. What is Humanity Dao trying to do?"

In the Purple Sky Palace, Hongjun was utterly stunned.

Golden light burst from Chu Yan's entire body.

A force rose from deep within him.

"Rise!"

With a roar, a thunderous boom followed.

Chu Yan once again formed his Dharma Body, which towered ten thousand zhang tall.

Chu Yan immediately seized the chance to establish the Human Race's Dao Tradition. He understood that Humanity Dao was helping him by harming itself.

If he didn't make the most of this chance, it would all be over.

"Listen, Human Race of the Primordial World! I, Chu Yan, Teacher of the Human Race, hereby establish the Human Race's Dao Tradition!"

Chu Yan's voice resounded across the entire Primordial World.

Countless living beings and every mighty expert turned their eyes toward Chu Yan's Dharma Body.

The hearts of All Saints sank.

"Are we really going to just watch Chu Yan establish the Human Race's Dao Tradition? How are we supposed to seize the Human Race's destiny from now on?"

They were frantic, but none dared to intervene.

Humanity Dao's power stood guard. Even if it was strong in appearance but weak within, it was still more than enough to kill a Sage in an instant.

Yuanshi Tianzun was proof of that. He had been beaten until his destiny was exhausted, and his Innate Supreme Treasure had nearly been destroyed.

"Nothing can be built without first breaking what came before. I, Chu Yan, Teacher of the Human Race, hereby establish the Human Race's Dao Tradition. The Primordial World has the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. Humanity has the three essentials of essence, energy, and spirit. We will not rely on the power of Heaven and Earth or draw upon the spirits of the Primordial World. We will use our essence, energy, and spirit to create the Human Race's Dao Tradition..."

Chu Yan's voice rang throughout the Primordial World.

The more they listened, the more astonished they became.

"What exactly is Chu Yan trying to do with the Human Race's Dao Tradition? He won't draw upon the power of Heaven and Earth or follow the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Could he be trying to create a Great Dao of his own?"

"Impossible. Even the Chaos Demon Gods could only cultivate the Three Thousand Great Daos. Chu Yan is merely a spirit who arose after the Primordial World was created. How could he create a Great Dao of his own?"

Countless beings were stunned, but the profound meaning was beyond them.

The Sages, however, turned pale.

"Damn it! Chu Yan is trying to turn the whole world upside down. He means to leap beyond the Three Realms and lead the Human Race down the path to transcendence!"

"What an outrageous claim. A bunch of ants dare to seek transcendence? Aren't they afraid they'll perish before they get there?"

The Sages kept trading barbs.

"Train the body from the outside to forge steel muscles and iron bones, and train the inside to master the mysteries of Heaven and Earth and attain the Universe and Primordial..."

The teachings went on and on, longer even than the Dao Traditions through which the Three Pure Ones had attained sainthood.

The Human Race listened with surging passion, their blood racing.

Their blood was already beginning to boil.

But the very next moment, it abruptly stopped.

"How could this be?"

"Why did it stop?"

Countless mighty beings were shocked.

The Heavenly Dao Saints above the Nine Heavens were taken aback, then overjoyed.

"Hahaha! Chu Yan blew up the Human Race's Dao Tradition and destroyed its foundations. Now it can no longer support him as he establishes a new Dao Tradition."

"Every action has its consequences. Chu Yan has only himself to blame. His greed knows no bounds; he actually hoped to attain transcendence. Now he's finally tasting the bitter fruits of his actions."

"It seems This Saint's Human Religion has a chance after all! Hahaha!"

Taiqing, Yuanshi, Nuwa, and Jieyin and Zhunti all broke into smiles.

Chu Yan could no longer establish the Human Race's Dao Tradition, and the One Hundred Thousand Innate Humans were on the verge of death.

When the time came, wouldn't the Human Race's destiny be theirs to divide as they pleased?

"It seems Yuanshi Tianzun's two deaths were worth it. And the Demon Prince stirred up trouble across the Primordial World—what a perfect assist."

Hongjun watched Chu Yan with narrowed eyes.

"Hmph. You've finally tasted the bitter fruits of your actions. You blew up the Human Race's Dao Tradition, and now you can't establish a new one. Chu Yan, Seventh Disciple Under My Sect, you won't get away from me."

After seeing this from Jin'ao Island, Sect Master Tongtian was so anxious that tears streamed down his face.

"How could this happen? How could this happen? We'd already fought our way through, carved out a Thread of Life. Why can't he establish the Dao Tradition? Damn it! No, I have to help him. Pangu's Primordial Spirit, burn!"
