That should have been their share of the Great Destiny—the foundation that allowed the Human Race to cultivate!
It was also the root of the Human Race's rise through its own strength to become the protagonist of the Primordial World!
Jiang Chen looked down upon the earth, and the regret in his heart seemed at last to have been laid to rest!
The Human Race had emerged from the Great Wilderness, weak and helpless. Even though he had written two books containing supreme wonders and the ultimate Path of Transcendence,
of the countless millions of humans, only tens of thousands had Becoming an Immortal on the Spot.
The Witch and Demon Clans were different. Those with powerful bloodlines possessed the strength of Golden Immortals even in childhood. They were the ones truly cherished by Heaven and Earth and favored by the Great Dao.
In the future, every member of the Human Race could become an immortal!
A wisp of dark mist in Jiang Chen's heart gradually dispersed...
And a shackle within his body was unexpectedly unlocked as well...
Crack!
The sound of the shackle breaking was like Buzhou Mountain snapping, like the Four Extremes of Heaven and Earth shattering... It shook the world and thundered in the ears of everyone from the three clans present.
The Golden Elixir he had cultivated... shattered...
It shattered!
"That's!!"
"The Golden Elixir Path bestowed by the Grand Pure Sage!"
The powerful members of the Witch and Demon Clans all widened their eyes and strained to hear.
What had they seen? What had they heard?
It was the path the Human Race had always relied upon to grow stronger!
The Golden Elixir Path that the Grand Pure Sage had bestowed upon them.
A gift in return for the response from Heaven and Earth when he established the Human Teachings and became a Saint!
Now, a path of the Golden Elixir had actually snapped inside Jiang Chen!
It was a Dao fruit—even if weak, it had been bestowed by a Saint!
Yet Jiang Chen had shattered it of his own accord.
"The Golden Elixir Path actually shattered on its own. Will this Human Race youth fall from the heights forever, or will he use the Great Destiny returning to the Human Race to climb back to the summit?"
Gong Gong was stunned!
When Grand Pure became a Saint and bestowed the Golden Elixir Path upon the Human Race, it had shaken the entire Primordial World!
Heaven and Earth had witnessed it, and all living beings had heard of it. There was no one who didn't know.
And yet now, someone had shattered the Golden Elixir Path!
"But!! Why can he still stand in the realm of Saints, with the cultivation of a Saint?!"
Zhurong was bewildered. He couldn't make sense of it...
Then he recalled what Da Yi had once told him.
"The Human Race devours Ten Thousand Flames to Attain Dao, transcends above all, and follows a path to Attain Dao... This bizarre cultivation method isn't part of the Golden Elixir Path!"
"It wasn't bestowed by a Saint. This really is a path created by the Human Race!"
Zhurong's muttered words left the several Ancestral Witches around him utterly astonished.
A member of the Human Race had created a path that could lead to transcendence!
That was an event on par with the Dao Ancestor comprehending the secrets of sainthood within the Creation Jade Butterfly!
How terrifying! It sent a tremor through everyone!
"The Golden Elixir is shattered... My cultivation is now slightly flawed... But..." Jiang Chen examined himself. In his previous life, he had cultivated through the Golden Elixir Path to just below the Earth Immortal realm, where he had been unable to advance even a fraction further.
Over ten thousand years, he had built an exceedingly solid foundation.
Now, the Golden Elixir had shattered at the prompting of his own subconscious.
Jiang Chen had no regrets!
Because today, he would sever all ties with the Human Teachings and Grand Pure!
"The karma from that day—I return it to you!!!"
Jiang Chen shouted, his face neither pleased nor saddened as he looked down on Grand Pure.
Grand Pure furrowed his brows slightly. This karma marked the beginning of his path to sainthood, and its repayment could easily bring about a major upheaval.
Although Jiang Chen owed him no karma, Grand Pure would now owe the Human Race a debt of karma.
After all, Jiang Chen was the Human Emperor, the faith of the Human Race, and its very embodiment!
But before Grand Pure could recover from his thoughts about Jiang Chen's shattered Golden Elixir,
Suiren Shi shakily rose to his feet.
Crack!
His Golden Elixir shattered completely!
He spat out a mouthful of blood!
"The karma from that day—I return it to the Grand Pure Sage! From this moment on, Suiren Shi owes the Grand Pure Sage no more karma!"
The Witch and Demon Clans felt their hearts leap. The situation was growing ever more unexpected.
Crack!
Shennong Shi stood and shattered his own Golden Elixir!
"The karma from that day—I return it to the Grand Pure Sage! From this moment on, Shennong Shi owes the Grand Pure Sage no more karma!"
Then Xuanyuan Shi, Youchao Shi, Zi Yi Shi, Chang Ge, and a host of other immortals followed.
One after another, they shattered their own Golden Elixirs!
They raised their voices, as if answering Jiang Chen's actions.
"The karma from that day—we return it to the Grand Pure Sage! From this moment on, Xuanyuan Shi, Youchao Shi, and Zi Yi Shi owe the Grand Pure Sage no more karma!"
At the foot of Shouyang Mountain, the countless millions of members of the Human Race who had embarked upon the Golden Elixir Path heard a voice resound in their minds.
"From this day on, the Human Race must strive ever onward!!!"
"What was sown in the past bears fruit today! I return it to you!"
"We, the Human Race! From this moment on, owe the Grand Pure Sage no more karma!!!"
The countless millions of the Human Race roared as one. They all rose to their feet and stopped kneeling.
Their bodies might be as tiny as ants, but their chests brimmed with soaring courage.
In an instant!
Under the Heavenly Dao, thunder erupted from a clear sky!
Endless karma surged toward the Grand Pure Sage and swallowed him.

"Saints do not incur karma or enter Tribulations, yet they can still be burdened with a massive debt of karma!"
The powerful members of the Witch and Demon Clans were all astonished.
The terrifying, boundless karma fell like countless shackles and blades, binding and striking at the Grand Pure Sage.
It was actually trying to cut away his Saintly Dao fruit and wear down his cultivation!
"Things have gone beyond expectations. Before coming here, I went to ask Saint Nuwa for help, but she has temporarily withdrawn from the world. Di Jun, you handled this matter poorly." Eastern Emperor Taiyi's expression tightened, and a look of worry flashed through his eyes.
If Grand Pure fled this time, no one in the Demon Clan would be able to withstand a single strike from Jiang Chen!
Di Jun cut an imposing figure, but inside, he was shaken with fear!
"The Grand Pure Sage really was stripped of his chance at sainthood by that Human Race member. Is the Heavenly Dao now going to punish him?!"
Demon Emperor Di Jun could not remain calm. He was deeply unsettled, his heart full of shock.
This whole matter had started because of his Demon Clan!
If the Fei Lian Tribe of the Demon Clan hadn't fought the Great Shaman Da Yi to the death and slaughtered members of the Human Race, provoking the Human Emperor into killing a Demon God and leaving one of the foundations of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array missing, then why would he, for the sake of the Demon Clan's reputation and its ambition to dominate, have wanted to kill the Human Race in revenge?
As a result, he had been forced by a mere human to rely on a Saint to save him.
That meant he now owed the Grand Pure Sage a debt of karma!
In the Primordial World, karma was the hardest thing to repay!
Who could fail to see it? Even the lofty Grand Pure Sage was now being entangled by endless karma, bound and worn down to his soul!
The karma came crashing down upon the Grand Pure Sage. No one dared approach him; no one dared step forward.
No one dared to come to his aid!
