But now, they were asking to die, so he had no reason to hold back!
"Your opponent is me!" Jiang Chen intercepted Di Jun with his sword, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
At that moment, his entire presence had changed.
He had become unfathomably profound.
Though he looked exceedingly young, he possessed a supreme bearing that could swallow the universe and sweep across the Primordial World.
"You alone can't stop me!" Di Jun sneered, intending to casually dispose of those noisy Human Race creatures and completely cut off their people's future!
Jiang Chen stood squarely before Di Jun, unafraid!
He chanted:
"Primordial Dao Law! Let all the karmic consequences in the world fall upon me!"
"Self-Transformation and Freedom! Self-Transformation for All Ages!"
Jiang Chen stood tall, his divine might descending upon the world. His gaze seemed capable of tearing heaven and earth apart and restarting Chaos!
Rumble~~~
A thunderous crash rang out. A divine light descended from the Heavenly Dao, dazzling the ages and illuminating the endless flow of time!
Rumble!
An overwhelming pressure surged outward from Jiang Chen, forcing everyone to prostrate themselves as it swept across the Primordial Wilderness!
"S-Sage!!!" Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witches stared blankly in Jiang Chen's direction, convinced their senses had betrayed them.
The pressure of such overwhelming power made them want to bow down.
"How is this possible!!!" Zhurong and Gong Gong were both stunned. Jiang Chen's transformation had overturned everything they knew!
Everyone looked shocked, especially the Demon Race creatures!
Demon Emperor Di Jun froze. He turned his head stiffly to look at Jiang Chen, his invincible bearing now subdued.
A Sage!
How was that possible!
How could there be a Sage here!
How could a Sage emerge from the Human Race!
Since he had been born from the Sun Star, when had Di Jun ever faced anyone with such gravity—except the great Sages of the Primordial Wilderness?
And this one came from the Human Race, the very people the Demon Race had once regarded as ants!
"Such overwhelming karmic consequences! Human Race! Are you trying to bring about your complete destruction!!!" At last, Di Jun saw what would happen after Jiang Chen's power surged. Though shaken, he continued to shout.
"Let all karmic consequences fall upon me!"
"The Demon Race slaughtered my people and made them their food! Today, I will become the one who settles the score, and make them pay for what they've done!"
Jiang Chen's bearing was supremely proud and detached.
The Self-Transformation and Freedom of the Primordial Dao Law could actually grant him the cultivation of a Sage.
Sage cultivation was like crossing a heavenly chasm and burying a vast abyss.
The price of rising from Grand Unity Golden Immortal to Sage was immense!
If he didn't make the most of this, activating it again in the future would likely cost him even more.
"Tai Yi!" Di Jun was nearly driven mad!
He had never imagined that the Human Race ants he once disdained would give rise to a Sage!
Though this Sage was strange, his aura less stable than that of an ordinary Sage, suppressing Di Jun—or even killing him—would still be as easy as breathing!
Fortunately, he still had a treasure to protect himself!
He called out to Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
He had to summon the Eastern Emperor Bell and hold out until Jiang Chen left that mysterious state!
Rumble!
Jiang Chen struck!
One sword severed the flow of time. Its light shot into the sky, dazzling the world!
With one strike, he cut away the fortune protecting Di Jun.
It was the supreme fortune that the Demon Race had gathered and bestowed upon their ruler.
And now Jiang Chen had severed it with a single sword! Cut it off entirely!
"Hiss!" Di Jun sucked in a sharp breath. This was terrifying!
That was the fortune of the Demon Race, one of the two most powerful races in the Primordial Wilderness—and Jiang Chen had just cut away a portion of it?
How could he allow that?
"River Diagram and Luo Book!" Di Jun stopped holding back and summoned the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the River Diagram and Luo Book, to protect himself.
He had to wait for the Eastern Emperor to arrive with the Eastern Emperor Bell. Otherwise, no one below Sagehood could save him from certain death!
The Human Race youth before him had the cultivation of a Sage!
"He even brought out the River Diagram and Luo Book! There's something strange about this Human!" Di Jiang led Houtu beyond the Chaos Heaven, staying clear of the battlefield of the Sages!
With a single thought, a Sage could sever the laws and the Dao.
Those who were not Sages could never understand such power!
In the entire Primordial Wilderness, only a handful of things could let someone below Sagehood withstand a Sage's strike.
The God-Slaying Spear, the Houtian Merit Supreme Treasure, the Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, and the three treasures in the Xiantian Supreme Treasure class.
Other than those, everyone below Sagehood was an ant.

"Did that Human really attain the Dao?"
Standing beyond the Chaos Heaven, Zhurong stared at Jiang Chen, stunned and trembling with fear.
"He didn't attain the Dao. He's using a mysterious Dao art to forcibly raise his cultivation!"
Di Jiang answered.
"But that's the cultivation of a Sage! Could such a Dao art exist in the Primordial Wilderness?" Gong Gong asked, baffled.
Sages and those below them were on entirely different levels. The gulf between them was an uncrossable chasm!
"Hard to say. Demon Ancestor Luohu once wielded the God-Slaying Spear and nearly stood undefeated. It wouldn't be surprising for a Dao art like this to appear in a battle against a Sage."
"From what I can tell, the Dao art this youth is using saddles him with enormous karmic consequences. The price he's paying is far too great!"
"Did Demon Emperor Di Jun never consider that he might be the reason things came to this..." Houtu sighed sadly.
The Wu Clan and the Human Race had both suffered far too many casualties.
As Jiang Chen had said before, every dog has its day. Never look down on the Human Race just because it's poor.
Now, a powerful being with the cultivation of a Sage had emerged from the Human Race. Even if that brilliance lasted only a moment, it was enough to make the Demon Race suffer a crushing loss.
"This state probably won't last long. Let's wait and see... This Human has surprised all of us."
Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witches shifted their gazes toward Shouyang Mountain.
Jiang Chen's white robes fluttered, and the Holy Sword of Slaughter in his hand shone with a cold light.
He wanted to keep Di Jun here!
"Cough, cough..." Xuanyuan Shi, Shennong Shi, and Suiren Shi felt the immense aura of a Sage.
The slivers of their life force were gradually recovering!
Just now, Jiang Chen had used Sage mana to restore them, pulling them back from the brink of certain death!
"Human Emperor!!" Xuanyuan Shi cried out in alarm!
He stared at Jiang Chen, whose cultivation had already risen to that of a Sage, his whole body trembling.
He knew all too well what came after using the Great Law of Self-Transformation and Freedom.
Rising only to the Great Luo Realm had already cost him his life.
Though he had now awakened, he had been struck by the boundless force of karmic consequences. Even his supreme bones had been broken!
"Our Human Race had finally found a leader, someone who could explore a Great Dao leading to transcendence! Yet now, after reaching the pinnacle, he's destined to fall. This is too cruel!"
Xuanyuan Shi roared with all his strength.
"Lord Taiqing the Sage! We beg you to take pity on the Human Race and preserve a single spark for us! The Human Emperor must not meet his end!"
"Lord Taiqing the Sage! Empress Nuwa! We are willing to worship you both for generation after generation. We only ask that you preserve hope for the Human Race. Please stop this calamity from unfolding!"
"Human Emperor!"
Their cries of grief rose all around them. They couldn't bear to see Jiang Chen die after unleashing his full power to kill Demon Emperor Di Jun.
