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

But in that instant, he realized that the dazzling sword-light seemed to shift the age, to sever the myriad heavens across all eternity.

It stirred the Sea of Time and shattered the Laws.

An impassable barrier stood before him.

The next second...

Rumble~~~

Jiang Chen stood atop Shouyang Mountain. With a single slash of his sword, he split open the ages and severed the river of time.

From then on, a Heavenly Chasm, a Great Abyss, separated the beings of the Human Dao from the Primordial Beings.

Chaos surged, drowning that Heavenly Chasm and Great Abyss.

There, supreme Laws and order reigned—all belonging to the rules and order of the Human Dao.

That was Jiang Chen's strongest strike at the Power of a Saint, linked to the supreme Laws and order of the Human River.

A domain carved out for the human race.

Though it lay within the Primordial World, it was a forbidden land!

Within the Primordial World under the Heavenly Dao, Jiang Chen had opened a forbidden land for human beings!

"Today!"

"Beyond this Heavenly Chasm Great Abyss lies the mountains and rivers of the Primordial World!"

"Within the Heavenly Chasm Great Abyss is the Human World!"

Jiang Chen's saintly words spread across the Primordial World.

Such was the means of a Saint.

To cross the Heavenly Chasm Great Abyss, none but the Power of a Saint could suffice!

In the end, Jiang Chen severed the connection between humanity and the Primordial Beings.

None but a Saint could cross.

It could endure for a thousand years!

On the Human World, bones piled into mountains, blood pooled like oceans, and crushed flesh became soil.

It had witnessed too much grief and too many tears.

The brutal war between the Witch and Demon Clans—if it swept over humanity at this moment, the race would surely be annihilated!

The coming Witch-Demon Calamity churned with the Power of a Saint, threatening at any turn to shatter the Primordial World and bury every living being beneath the starry sky!

To keep the Human World far from blood and chaos—this was the last blessing Jiang Chen, standing at the Power of a Saint, could secure for the human race.

"That sword-stroke touched upon the Dao, cutting out a forbidden land in the Primordial World. None but a Saint may set foot there; none but a Saint may enter."

The Two Sages of the West, being Saints themselves, quickly perceived the scene of the Heavenly Chasm Great Abyss.

Below the level of a Saint, anyone who tried to cross that Heavenly Chasm Great Abyss would surely die!

There was absolutely no second possibility!

"He has sealed that place. From now on, no one can enter!"

"Hmph!"

Among the Three Pure Ones, Upper Pure and Grand Pure held entirely different views on Jiang Chen's action.

Upper Pure Tongtian acknowledged Jiang Chen's act with recognition of his strength.

Grand Pure harbored a grudge against Jiang Chen and refused to express any opinion at all.

"Return..." The voice of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun descended from the Purple Cloud Palace.

He wished to put an end to this matter entirely.

"Yes!" The Two Sages of the West bowed to Hongjun in acknowledgment and departed.

The Three Pure Ones, as the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's three disciples, dared not defy him either and left directly.

Nuwa, through the Chaotic rift of the Heavenly Chasm Great Abyss, exchanged a glance with Jiang Chen on Shouyang Mountain.

She saw that Jiang Chen's condition was very wrong. Though he had not yet fallen from the realm of a Saint, he could no longer wield any power.

He was an empty shell, devoid of a Saint's Mana—most mysterious.

"What kind of Dao art is that?" she wondered, puzzled.

If she struck now, it was hard to say whether Jiang Chen would be in danger.

But she did not do so.

Humanity was, after all, her creation. Even if she had close ties with the Demon Race, she could not lean too heavily toward either side.

Yet today, the confrontation between humanity and the Demon Race ensured that a karmic reckoning would come in the future.

As a Saint, she sensed this but did not know how to resolve it.

So she spoke not a single word.

They left on their own.

The two supreme powerhouses of the Demon Clan, Demon Emperor Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, also did not linger and turned to leave.

Seeing this, the other great beings who had come did not dare to stay and departed one after another.

In the end, the only ones remaining outside the Heavenly Chasm Great Abyss at Shouyang Mountain on Human Race territory were several Ancestral Witches of the Wu Clan.

Ancestral Witches...

The pinnacle combat power of the Wu Clan.

The reason they did not leave was that Houtu had set foot into the Human Race's Forbidden Zone, crossing the Heavenly Chasm and the Great Abyss.

"What do we do?"

Zhurong and Gong Gong asked Di Jiang.

They were worried about Houtu.

An Ancestral Witch, entering the Human Race's Forbidden Zone alone.

They did not know Jiang Chen's current state, but Houtu was facing a Sage with Sage-level cultivation—she must be terrified, and that filled them with concern.

"Let's go back first. We cannot enter the Human Race's Forbidden Zone. It is governed by Sage Laws—none but a Sage may enter!"

Di Jiang chose to prioritize the bigger picture. If they forced their way in, the Ancestral Witches would all fall—what would that mean for the entire Wu Clan?

"I hope Little Sister comes through unharmed. Otherwise, even if we perish and our Dao vanishes, we will revive the phantom of Father God Pangu and force our way into the Human Race's Forbidden Zone!"

Di Jiang's voice was icy. He too was worried about Houtu—she was their youngest sister.

The most pure-hearted and kind among them.

The one they all wished to protect.

Chapter 36: Karma Cancelled, Houtu's Intentions [Kneeling for Flowers and Tips]

Rumble~~~

After Jiang Chen's single sword strike severed the ancient spacetime and carved out a Forbidden Zone for the Human Race, he could no longer sustain his Sage Mana.

The Hong Meng Dao Law of Self-Transformation and Freedom had finally reached its limit.

If not for that final strike, which had drawn upon the most extreme and sublimated power within his Sage cultivation, he might have held out for another day.

But now, after dissipating all his Mana, Jiang Chen fell from the sky, utterly powerless, his body like an empty shell.

Within him, nothing remained but boundless karma and karmic sin.

They burned through his internal organs, his Immortal Sense... his spiritual body.

"Human Emperor!"

Xuanyuan Shi, Shennong Shi, and the others were all greatly alarmed.

If anything went wrong with Jiang Chen because of today's events, the countless souls of the Human Race would never forgive themselves.

"Karma... the fire of karmic sin... So this is the flaw of the Hong Meng Dao Law?"

Jiang Chen finally understood the price of crossing that Heavenly Chasm and forcibly elevating himself to the Sage realm.

Truly terrifying beyond measure.

"Take fire as the source, take the body as the furnace! Cut the wood of heaven and earth, swallow the flames of heaven and earth—burn them!!!"

"With the birth of strange fire, all fires bow! Burn the sky and boil the seas, set the stars ablaze—all within the grasp of my palm!"

"The fire of karmic sin can also be used by me!"

Jiang Chen let out a great shout, and with the Burning Art, he absorbed the fire of karmic sin.

That vast fire of karmic sin directly elevated his cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm!!!
