At the End of Primordial Antiquity, the Fighting Old Saint Emperor ruled the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. His might reached the utmost heights, even cowing the beings within the Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginnings, and he safeguarded an age of peace.
This era was tranquil and harmonious, without widespread bloodshed or chaos. At most, races fought one another in struggles for survival, nothing that could be called a world-ending calamity.
Chu Feng arrived in this era and no longer needed to worry about the Dark Turmoil descending. He rose under the protection of the Fighting Saint Emperor, though he failed to shatter the Heavenly Heart Imprint and attain the Dao against heaven's will, creating the legend of two emperors reigning side by side.
Still, relying on the Stone Jar and the Field Dao, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. In just five hundred years, he broke through the barrier to become a Quasi-Emperor.
With the Solar Yang Human Emperor and the Taiyin Human Emperor long gone, the weak Human Race had actually produced such a powerful Quasi-Emperor. This shocked the myriad heavens and ten thousand domains. Even the Fighting Old Saint Emperor, who stood at the pinnacle of the Extreme Dao, heard of him and emerged from seclusion specifically to receive this prodigy of the Human Race.
"Fighting Saint Emperor!"
Chu Feng came to the Big Dipper and gazed at that towering golden figure, his emotions tangled. He had already vaguely guessed that this saint ape was one of the inspirations for the monkey in the myths of later ages.
Or perhaps the writers of later ages had condensed the Fighting Saint Ape Tribe into a single individual, stitching the stories of many saint apes onto one monkey.
"Did you obtain Lingbao Tianzun's inheritance from the Mythical Era?"
