"Human Clan Xuanyuan Shi! For the bloodline of the Human Race, he reached his utmost potential and fought a Great Luo Demon Marshal! The battle reached Beyond Chaos Heaven! The Blood Rain falling over Shouyang Mountain is the blood of Human Clan Xuanyuan!!"
"Human Clan Suiren Shi! His divine fire burned beyond the heavens, setting the sky ablaze! But now the world is pitch-black, without a trace of firelight! Without a single flame! Is the fire about to go out?"
"Human Clan Shennong Shi! The cauldron that protected the Human Race has shattered! The Supreme Emperor Pill was meant to continue the Human Race's journey forward, but now its fragrance has faded, and the cauldron lies broken... How tragic!!!"
"The Human Supreme Body, gifted with Incomparable Double Pupils, was actually stripped of its bones and drained of its blood, reduced to an object for the Demon Race to test! Heaven has treated our Human Race so unfairly!!!"
Youchao Shi had understood how the Blood Rain came to be. His heart was filled with grief, and blood vessels spread through his eyes.
The Three Human Ancestors had sent him to Shouyang Mountain with the Human Kindling Fire.
Yet the three of them were now nowhere to be found, their fates unknown.
The agony of merely surviving left one gasping for breath, with barely any will to go on!
How could this happen!
How could it!
Could the Human Race's ancestors, even at the height of their power, still not stand against a single Demon Marshal?
Countless members of the Human Race felt grief in their hearts, as though someone dear to them had perished that very day!
"Demon Race! Blood debts must be paid in blood!"
On Shouyang Mountain, Jiang Chen roared in grief and fury.
He had sensed the source of the Blood Rain: it had fallen from the battle Beyond Chaos Heaven.
Xuanyuan, Shennong, Suiren, and the others still showed signs of life, but they had surely suffered terribly!
What the Human Race saw and heard...
Bones piled like mountains. Their anguished cries rang out without end!
Jiang Chen's furious roar reached the ears of every member of the Human Race.
They began gazing toward the summit of Shouyang Mountain!
That mountain was the ancestral land of the Human Race!
From there, the Human Race had ventured into the Primordial Wilderness!
The Human Race also worshiped two Sages connected to them at their ancestral land.
The manifestations of Lord Taiqing the Sage and Empress Nuwa stood upon Shouyang Mountain.
Tens of thousands of years ago, after creating the Innate Human Race, Empress Nuwa had also established Protective Divine Words.
For ten thousand years, no race in the Primordial Wilderness could attack the Human Race!
Now, ten thousand years had long since passed. The Human Race had lost that protection and was gradually reduced to prey.
Yet the lingering might of the two Sages remained. With their manifestations here, killing did not dare easily descend upon this land.
Now, Shouyang Mountain had become the Human Race's only refuge in the Primordial Wilderness.
"It's the Human Emperor! Is the Human Emperor going to fight the Demon Race?"
"No!!!"
"You mustn't leave! All our Human Race's powerful fighters have vanished. We can't afford another Blood Calamity!"
They couldn't bear to see another Human Race powerhouse fall at the hands of the Demon Race.
Xuanyuan Shi, Suiren Shi, and the others were missing, their fates unknown. If the Human Emperor risked his life in battle today, the Human Race would never rise again!
If the Human Emperor died, it would be tantamount to destroying all the methods to Attain Dao along the Path of Transcendence he had forged for the Human Race!
Without a leader, everything would be for naught. The Human Race would never rise above its lot!
"We beg the Human Emperor to consider the billions of members of the Human Race and endure this for the sake of our people's rise. One day, we will settle this score!"
Wails of grief and pleas for mercy filled Shouyang Mountain!
They didn't want Jiang Chen to fight, because he had not Attained Dao and become a Sage. He simply couldn't stand against the Demon Race.
If he left Shouyang Mountain, he would likely be killed!
But the Human Race... was still suffering the Blood Calamity!
Tens of thousands of Human Race members were bursting apart along the way!
At last, a thunderous boom rang out from Beyond Chaos Heaven.
The clash was so immense that it shook the Primordial World and wiped out the Eternal Stars. A battle at the Great Luo Level could now casually destroy the laws and order of the world. Even space itself could be folded with a mere pinch of the fingers.
"Hmph! For mere Human Race ants, I actually have to act personally!"
Demon Emperor Di Jun's voice rang out like the tolling of a great bell, striking the most ancient and distant notes in the Primordial Wilderness and shaking the heavens and earth!
It stirred every race in the Primordial Wilderness!
Demon Emperor Di Jun had actually made his move!!!
Boom!
Three blood-soaked bodies fell from Beyond Chaos Heaven.
The cauldron was shattered, the divine fire extinguished, and even the Grand Unity Sword Embryo had broken!
"It's Xuanyuan Shi, Suiren Shi, and Shennong Shi! Are they... dead? With the Demon Emperor himself intervening, who could survive?"
The Human Race let out cries of despair.
That was a Quasi-Saint!
The most invincible fighting force beneath the Sages!
"Cough, cough..." Xuanyuan Shi coughed up blood. They weren't dead.
The Grand Unity Sword Embryo was a Houtian Supreme Treasure! Though it couldn't compare to the Primordial Wilderness's two Houtian Merit Supreme Treasures, it could still protect the three of them by breaking apart at the cost of its own destruction.
What's more, the several divine fires were comparable to the Ten Great Origin Fires of the Primordial Era, while the great cauldron was no less than a Houtian Spiritual Treasure.
Those treasures had saved them from certain death!
The three were alive, but the Human Race felt no joy to speak of.
They had heard the Demon Emperor's voice. A Quasi-Saint was going to attack in person?
In the Primordial Wilderness, who could resist him besides the Wu Clan and a few other mighty figures who had withdrawn from the world?
"Gasp!!! Is Heaven going to destroy our Human Race?"
"We beg Lord Taiqing the Sage to show mercy and protect our Human Race in this time of Blood Calamity."
"We implore Lord Taiqing the Sage to show mercy and save our Human Race from annihilation."
At the foot of Shouyang Mountain, members of the Human Race began worshiping the manifestations of Grand Pure and Empress Nuwa.
Now, only the two Sages could stop the Demon Emperor from slaughtering them!
"We beg Lord Taiqing the Sage..."
"We implore Empress Nuwa..."
One plea after another, one kowtow after another. Beneath the Blood Rain, the Human Race clung to the two Sages as their last hope of salvation.
But the two manifestations remained utterly still, their silence terrifying!
"Heh... Ants will always be ants. They even dare hope to reach the Sages with their prayers!" Flying Sickle sneered. As the vanguard, he arrived above Shouyang Mountain alongside Demon Emperor Di Jun!.
"Demon Emperor!"
At the foot of Shouyang Mountain, countless members of the Human Race saw that incomparably imposing figure at last. Simply hovering in midair was enough to leave them gasping for breath!
A deep voice rang out. Flying Sickle transformed into a Heaven-Swallowing Beast, and together with Demon Emperor Di Jun, he descended upon the mortal world!
Chaos Qi swirled around Di Jun, making his face impossible to see.
But behind him, a radiant and magnificent ancient painting unfurled.
Di Jun was unmatched!
His Quasi-Saint cultivation had shaken the ages. He was the most powerful combatant beneath the Sages!
He stood at the pinnacle of the Demon Race!
Even Xuanyuan Shi, who had reached his utmost potential at an enormous cost to briefly attain Great Luo cultivation, couldn't withstand a single exchange at Di Jun's hands!
And despite possessing numerous treasures comparable to Houtian Supreme Treasures and Spiritual Treasures, he had nearly perished!
"Demon Emperor Di Jun!"
The Wu Clan, alerted by the commotion, also hurried over.
A Quasi-Saint of the Demon Race had descended into the Primordial Wilderness. They couldn't afford not to treat this with caution.
At once, no fewer than six of the Ancestral Witches arrived.
Di Jiang, Gong Gong, Zhurong, Houtu...
