I, the Human Emperor, Madly Writing Books to Create Emperors

That was the mighty destiny that should have belonged to them—the foundational vessel for the Human Race to cultivate the Dao!

At the same time, it was the root source of the Human Race's self-strengthening march toward becoming the protagonists of the Primordial World!

Jiang Chen gazed down at the earth, a lingering regret in his heart seeming to find completion.

When the Human Race emerged from the Great Wilderness, they were frail and weak. Even though he had created two books, recording supreme wondrous methods and holding the ultimate Path of Transcendence, out of hundreds of millions of humans, only ten thousand had attained Becoming an Immortal on the Spot.

One had to understand that among the Witch and Demon Clans, those with formidable bloodlines possessed the strength of a Golden Immortal even in childhood—they were the true darlings of heaven and earth, favored by the Great Dao.

In the future, the Human Race could also have every person become an immortal!

A wisp of haze in Jiang Chen's heart gradually dispersed...

And within his body, a shackle was also undone...

Crack!

The sound of the shackle breaking was like Buzhou Mountain snapping, like the Four Extremes of heaven and earth shattering... shaking the heavens and earth, drumming against the eardrums of everyone from the three clans present.

The Golden Elixir he had cultivated... shattered...

Shattered!

"That is!!"

"The Golden Elixir Path passed down by the Grand Pure Sage back then!"

The mighty experts of the Witch and Demon Clans all widened their eyes and pricked up their ears.

What were they seeing? What were they hearing?

That was the path the Human Race had relied on to grow stronger all along!

It was the Golden Elixir Path bestowed by the Grand Pure Sage back then, given in return for the heavenly-earthly feedback of establishing the Human Teachings and Becoming a Saint!

Now, within Jiang Chen's body, a Golden Elixir Path had actually snapped!

That was a fruit of the Dao, weak though it was, still granted by a Sage!

Yet Jiang Chen, beyond his own control, had actively shattered it.

"The Golden Elixir Path actually shattered and broke on its own—will this son of the Human Race plummet into the abyss, or will he borrow the returning Great Destiny of the Human Race to ascend to the peak once more?"

Gong Gong was stunned!

Back when the Grand Pure Sage attained sainthood and bestowed the Golden Elixir Path upon the Human Race, it had been a monumental event that shook the entire Primordial World!

Seen by heaven and earth, heard by all living beings—none were unaware, none were uninformed.

But now, someone had shattered the Golden Elixir Path!

"But!! How can he still stand in the realm of a Sage, possessing the cultivation of a Sage?!"

Zhurong was bewildered, unable to fathom it...

Then, he recalled the words Da Yi had once spoken to him.

"The Human Race Devours Ten Thousand Flames to Attain Dao, transcending above, the path of Attaining Dao... this heretical Dao method is not on the Golden Elixir Path!"

"It was not bestowed by a Sage—it was truly created by this human!"

Zhurong's murmured words sent shock through the Ancestral Witches beside him.

A single human had created a path to Attaining Dao that could lead to transcendence!

That was an event comparable to the Dao Ancestor comprehending the heavenly secret of Becoming a Saint from the Creation Jade Disc!

So terrifying it made one tremble!

"The Golden Elixir shattered... my cultivation has become slightly flawed... but..." Jiang Chen examined himself. His former self had cultivated via the Golden Elixir Path to the point just below an Earth Immortal, unable to advance an inch.

Over ten thousand years, his foundation had been solidly tempered.

Now, the Golden Elixir's shattering was an act of his own subconscious.

Jiang Chen did not regret it!

Because today, he would completely sever ties with the Human Teachings and the Grand Pure Sage!

"Past karma—return it to you!!!"

Jiang Chen shouted loudly, without joy or sorrow, looking down upon the Grand Pure Sage.

The Grand Pure Sage frowned slightly. This strand of karma was tied to the beginning of his sainthood, and it could easily lead to a great upheaval.

Though Jiang Chen owed him no karma, he himself would now owe the Human Race a karma.

Because Jiang Chen was the Human Emperor, the embodiment of the Human Race's faith, the vessel of the Human Race!

But before the Grand Pure Sage could recover from the shock of Jiang Chen's Golden Elixir shattering, Suiren Shi stood up shakily.

Crack!

A golden core shattered completely!

He spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Past karma! Returned to the Grand Pure Sage! From this day forth, I, Suiren Shi, and the Grand Pure Sage have no more karmic ties!"

The Witch and Demon Clans saw this, their hearts leaping—they felt things were spiraling beyond expectation.

Crack!

Shennong Shi rose and shattered his own golden core!

"Past karma! Returned to the Grand Pure Sage! From this day forth, I, Shennong Shi, and the Grand Pure Sage have no more karmic ties!"

Then, Xuanyuan Shi, Youchao Shi, Zi Yi Shi, Chang Ge, and a host of Immortal Realm cultivators.

One after another, they shattered their golden cores!

They cried out loudly, as if answering Jiang Chen's actions.

"Past karma! Returned to the Grand Pure Sage! From this day forth, I, Xuanyuan Shi, Youchao Shi, Zi Yi Shi, and the Grand Pure Sage have no more karmic ties!"

At the foot of Shouyang Mountain, the countless billions of the Human Race who had set foot on the Golden Elixir Path.

They heard a single voice ring through their minds.

"From now on, the Human Race shall strive unceasingly!!!"

"Past cause, today's effect! Returned to you!"

"Our Human Race! From this day forth, has no more karmic ties with the Grand Pure Sage!!!"

The billions of the Human Race shook the heavens. They rose to their feet, one and all, no longer kneeling.

Though their bodies were as small as ants, their chests overflowed with soaring pride.

In that instant!

Beneath the Heavenly Dao, a thunderclap rose from the flat ground!

The boundless karma devoured the Grand Pure Sage.

Chapter 32: Establishing the Dao with One's Body, Named: Human Dao [Kneeling for Flowers and Tips]

"Saints are untouched by karmic sin, do not enter Tribulations, yet they bear immense karma!"

The strong of the Witch and Demon Clans were all horrified.

That terrifying, boundless karma, like countless shackles and countless blades, bound and slashed toward the Grand Pure Sage!

It sought to pare away his saintly fruit, to grind down his cultivation!

"Things have gone beyond expectation. Before I came here, I went to invite Saint Nuwa, but she has temporarily withdrawn from worldly affairs. Di Jun, you acted foolishly in this." Eastern Emperor Taiyi's expression tightened, worry flickering in his eyes.

If the Grand Pure Sage were forced to retreat this time, the Demon Clan would have no one left to face Jiang Chen's single blow!

Di Jun's bearing was majestic, but his heart trembled in terror!

"The Grand Pure Sage... is truly being torn from his chance at sainthood by that human? Now the Heavenly Dao is to punish him?!"

Demon Emperor Di Jun could not remain calm. He was utterly unsettled, his heart filled with great fear.

All of this had started because of his Demon Clan!

If not for the Fei Lian Tribe of the Demon Clan and the Great Shaman Da Yi slaughtering the Human Race, provoking the Human Emperor to slay a Demon God and leave the Demon Clan's Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array missing a formation base—why would he, for the sake of the Demon Clan's face and their ambition to dominate, have sought to vent his fury by killing humans?

Thus, he had not been forced by a single human to beg a saint for rescue.

That alone was a karmic debt owed to the Grand Pure Sage!

In the Primordial World, karmic debts were the hardest to repay!

Behold, even the exalted Grand Pure Sage was now suffering under the weight of boundless karma, binding his spirit and grinding his body!

Karma rained down from the heavens, charging straight at the Grand Pure Sage. No one dared approach him, no one dared step forward.

No one dared lend a hand!
