Rumble...
Chu Yan used everything of the hundred thousand Innate Humans to block Nuwa.
In an instant, both sides suffered mutual destruction.
"How... is this possible? A mortal body can actually make Junior Sister Nuwa unable to defend herself? How can this be?"
The countless Great Powers were stunned. Was this still an ant? Did they take them for fools?
"Fellow senior brothers, lend me your strength. Kill Chu Yan, and the Human Race Destiny will be shared among you."
At the critical moment, Nuwa went all out. Even if the share would be smaller later, it was better than nothing.
As soon as these words were spoken, Taiqing, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others immediately lit up with greed.
"Junior Sister Nuwa, I will help you."
The Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram spread out, instantly covering the hundred thousand Innate Humans and forcibly suppressing the Human Race Destiny. Yet its owner's expression shifted.
"What nerve. The destiny is not strong, but unexpectedly heavy. Suppress for me—!"
As the words fell, the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram flashed with golden light, immediately choking Chu Yan.
Then, another burst of radiance exploded.
The Pangu Banner erupted.
"I, Yuanshi, use the Pangu Banner to suppress Chu Yan, to suppress the will of the Human Race."
The Pangu Banner pressed heavily down on the head of the Sky-Supporting Giant.
Pfft—
Chu Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, grievously wounded.
Before he could react, Jieyin and Zhunti also made their move.
"Senior Brother, this opportunity is rare. Let us join hands to sever all ties between Chu Yan and the Human Race, so Junior Sister Nuwa can kill him."
"Well said."
Rumble...
The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and the Golden Lotus of Merit erupted simultaneously.
"Junior Sister Nuwa, we have forcibly cut off Chu Yan's connection to the Human Race. If you do not strike now, when will you?"
At the Shore of the East Sea, waves surged for billions of kilometers.
The hundred thousand Innate Humans were crushed to the ground.
On Buzhou Mountain, Pangu's Will fought fiercely against the Chaos Demon God.
The Jade Plate of Creation blazed with dazzling light, pressing down hard on Pangu's Will.
The endless Power Law erupted wildly, seeming on the verge of breaking its cage.
Hongjun's face changed drastically, and he immediately roared:
"Nuwa, if you do not strike now, when will you? This Seat cannot suppress Pangu's Will much longer. Hurry—!"
With that shout, Nuwa snapped to attention. She immediately took out the Red Embroidered Ball and shot straight toward Chu Yan.
"Chu Yan, I created the Human Race. How dare you defy me and refuse to honor me as Holy Mother? Today I will destroy you. Die—!"
The Red Embroidered Ball shot forward like a cannonball.
Watching this scene, the countless Great Powers suddenly felt a pang of sorrow.
"Is this really the end?"
"Chu Yan... after all, he cannot prevail."
Boom—
With one strike, Chu Yan was sent flying, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
He crashed to the ground with a clatter. Fortunately, this land was formed from the Nine Heavens Soil, or he would have been crushed to death.
"Chu Yan, accept your death."
Chu Yan's pupils widened as he watched Nuwa's second attack already bearing down on him. He was filled with unwillingness.
"Am I really going to die? I refuse to accept this."
Roar—
With a bellow, Chu Yan erupted completely.
Who says an ant cannot shake the heavens? Who says the Mandate of Heaven cannot be defied?
Today, I, Chu Yan, will fight this Heavenly Dao itself. Even if I die, body and soul, I will bring you endless trouble.
"All Humans, hear me."
Blood flowed from Chu Yan's seven orifices as he made his final stand, using his broken body to brand the Human Race with the mark of self-reliance.
"I, Chu Yan, the first Innate Human of the Primordial World, hereby proclaim to all the Primordial World, hereby awaken the Human Race: The Human Race shall stand on its own, self-reliant, bowing to neither Heaven nor Earth."
Pfft—
A mouthful of heartblood spat out, Chu Yan caught it in his hand instantly, then roared loudly:
"I, Chu Yan, hereby establish a Blood Oath: if I live, I shall be the teacher of the Human Race, educating and guiding them, leading them to overcome all hardships, strive for strength, and sweep away the four barbarians on the path to humanity's rise. If I die, I shall transform into the soul of the Human Race, protecting their peace for ten thousand generations. Heaven, Earth, humans, ghosts, and gods bear witness—Blood Oath, established—!"
Rumble...
As if something in the void responded, that drop of heartblood instantly turned into a patterned talisman and flew into the entire Human Race.
"Not good, stop him quickly! This Chu Yan is using the Blood Oath to brand the human soul—if the Human Race is not destroyed, Chu Yan will live forever."
"What?"
In an instant, the endless Great Powers were shaken. This Chu Yan was blatantly digging a pit for the future Six Sages.
"Damn Chu Yan, even at death's door you won't give up, still causing trouble—die already!"
Rumble...
"Roar—"
The moment Nuwa's attack landed, suddenly, a golden dragon surged out from Chu Yan's body.
Rumble...
It struck Nuwa flying backward in an instant.
"What? This... what is this?"
The endless Great Powers were stunned, watching as that golden dragon coiled above Chu Yan's head, its terrifying might radiating outward.
Rumble...
In an instant, it shattered the suppressing force of the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner.
Pfft pfft pfft—
Taiqing, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Nuwa all spat out a mouthful of blood simultaneously.
"Damn it, what is this?"
Even Hongjun, far away at Buzhou Mountain suppressing Pangu's Will, changed expression drastically.
"Not good, this is the Human Way Golden Dragon. The Earthly Dao has yet to emerge—why has the Human Way awakened early?"
Hongjun's face shifted violently; everything had slipped beyond his control.
"No, the Human Way hasn't awakened. It's just Chu Yan's Blood Oath forcibly rousing it."
He saw that the phantom of the Human Way Golden Dragon had dimmed considerably.
But Hongjun's expression still twisted.
The Human Way Golden Dragon was actually shielding Chu Yan—did that mean the Human Way had already chosen him?
As long as Chu Yan didn't die, he would surely become the future Human Ancestor, the Ancestor of the Human Way.
Then his status would equal that of this Ancestor of the Heavenly Dao? This only hardened Hongjun's resolve to kill Chu Yan.
"No, Chu Yan must die."
He immediately sent a telepathic message.
"This is a projection of the Human Way Golden Dragon, forcibly awakened by Chu Yan. Disperse it quickly, or all your schemes will come to nothing."
Hearing this, Nuwa and the others understood at once.
"Senior Brother Taiqing, Senior Brother Yuanshi, quickly join forces to suppress the Human Way Golden Dragon."
"Good."
The Taiji Diagram erupted again, directly enveloping the phantom of the Human Way Golden Dragon.
The Pangu Banner transformed into endless blades, severing the connection of the Human Way Golden Dragon.
"Tongtian, what are you doing? Why haven't you struck to cut off Chu Yan's link with the Human Race?"
"Tongtian, you fool, why aren't you acting?"
Taiqing and Yuanshi roared loudly, yet Tongtian remained unmoved, his eyes tightly shut as if lost in thought.
"Outrageous! Tongtian, just you wait."
Taiqing gritted his teeth in fury, then turned to Nuwa.
"Junior Sister, it falls to you."
"Fine. Today, Chu Yan dies."
With a single hand, she summoned the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
"Chu Yan, die."
Nuwa's attack followed instantly, reaching Chu Yan's face in a flash.
But at that very moment—
Rumble...
Rumble...
Twelve colossal figures descended from the heavens, like twelve cannonballs crashing down in an instant.
In a flash, they flattened countless great mountains along the Shore of the East Sea.
"You go too far."
"Hmph, you dare kill those under Father God's protection? You seek death—."
The twelve Ancestor Witches appeared, each towering a hundred thousand miles high.
"What? The Witch Race has appeared?"
"Damn it, why would the Witch Race shelter the Human Race?"
Nuwa, Taiqing, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the rest all changed expression drastically.
Why had the Witch Race come out? This was trouble.
"Get lost—."
A single punch was thrown, and terrifying power erupted in that instant.
The Witch Race's fearsome fist tore through Nuwa's attack in a flash.
Pfft—.
Nuwa spat out a mouthful of blood, then felt herself entangled by endless karmic sin.
Furious, Nuwa both panicked and wept.
Damn it, today was supposed to be the day she attained sainthood, but instead, not only had she failed to become a saint, she had been struck by lightning. On top of that, the Human Race had turned against her.
And now, the Witch Race had beaten her until she spat blood, and she was burdened with karmic sin.
"The Human Race is under the protection of my Witch Race. Who agrees? Who opposes?"
