By Order of the Ancestor of Humanity, Lan the Arrogant of Humanity's Crime Division Makes His Entrance!

By order of the Human Ancestor, Lan Biwang of the Human Race's Sin Division reported for duty!

In truth, the earlier battle between Zhongshan Shi, Yi Zi, and the others had thoroughly stirred the blood of Taihao, Emperor Yan, and the rest.

The latter did not know Zhongshan Shi and the others' origins.

Thus, they could only assume that they were reclusive cultivators who had remained hidden from the world.

Now that a great calamity had befallen the human race, they had emerged to fight at the Human Ancestor's command.

Such figures were willing to give everything and fight to the death for humanity.

Taihao and the others enjoyed the human race's veneration. What reason did they have to shrink back from battle?

The surging passion and pride of the human race were what made Taihao declare, "The human race is ordained by fate. Who dares oppress us?"

Thus, Taihao directly requested permission to fight and aid Zhongshan Shi and the others.

Soon after, Emperor Yan, Emperor Huang, and Zhuanxu came to their senses as well and likewise bowed to request permission.

"Please grant us permission to fight, Human Ancestor!"

Hearing Taihao and the others, Zhou Yuan merely cast them an indifferent glance.

It seemed they had truly gotten carried away.

Fighting Di Jun and the others now was no different from seeking death.

Zhou Yuan knew very well that only the returning human experts might stand a chance against Di Jun and the others.

Therefore, he did not agree to Taihao and the others' request.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yuan merely said softly:

"You need not do this. I have my own considerations!"

He could not let Taihao and the others throw away their lives for nothing.

After a brief pause, Zhou Yuan continued issuing orders:

"For now, send your powerful subordinates into the Primordial World."

"Have them each guard a human tribe, lest the demon race lash out like cornered dogs."

Zhou Yuan had considered the matter quite thoroughly.

Although Di Jun had already descended, he likely would not be able to defeat Zhongshan Shi anytime soon.

After all, Zhongshan Shi had been an invincible existence in another world as well.

Therefore, these top-tier experts could continue their standoff.

Most importantly, they could not allow the demon race to exploit the opening and attack ordinary humans.

Zhou Yuan clearly explained the stakes involved.

Taihao and the others nodded repeatedly as they listened.

They also knew that Zhou Yuan was right.

No longer dwelling on it, they dispersed and sent their own subordinates to protect the human race.

After doing all this, Zhou Yuan continued observing the scene at Huoyun Palace.

Meanwhile, at Huoyun Palace!

"Zhongshan Shi, I do not know who you truly are."

"However, today, you destroyed the physical body of a Great Sage of the Demon Race. That makes you an enemy of the Heavenly Court."

"If you stop now and bow your heads to the Heavenly Court, I will let bygones be bygones!"

Di Jun's Daoist robe gleamed brilliantly, fluttering and snapping even without wind.

His entire body exuded the majestic bearing of one who commanded the cosmos.

He looked down upon Zhongshan Shi and the others, his gaze cold and his tone indifferent.

His words seemed exceedingly merciful, as though he were giving Zhongshan Shi and the others a chance to repent.

Zhongshan Shi sneered and met Di Jun's gaze directly.

"In this age, the only one worthy of making me bow my head is Lord Human Ancestor!"

"What are you, that you dare speak to me like this?"

Di Jun's expression abruptly darkened upon hearing Zhongshan Shi's words.

"Arrogant!"

"Do you know that beyond the heavens are greater heavens, and beyond men are greater men?"

"If you refuse to repent, this Heavenly Emperor will reduce you all to ashes!"

Without realizing it, Di Jun had changed from referring to himself as "I" to calling himself "this Heavenly Emperor."

He wished to use that title to intimidate Zhongshan Shi and the others.

However, he had greatly underestimated the four of them.

In their original world, all four had been supreme prodigies who had weathered countless storms and could stir the entire cosmos into upheaval.

How could they possibly care about the threats of a mere Di Jun?

Zhongshan Shi remained forceful as ever and angrily rebuked Di Jun.

"As the Heavenly Emperor, you should show compassion to all living beings and treat everyone equally!"

"You should uphold the order of the cosmos and reduce the karmic sins of slaughter in this world."

"Yet you indulge the demon race in committing evil. Your virtue is unworthy of your position, and you still dare call yourself the Heavenly Emperor?"

Though Zhongshan Shi spoke in the form of a question, his words were filled with undisguised mockery.

This time, Di Jun was finally enraged.

"Sharp-tongued fool!"

With an angry roar, Di Jun's figure flashed, and he darted directly into the battlefield.

He unleashed the Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow Technique, turning into an elusive streak of light that shot forward.

Di Jun invoked the Life and Death Great Technique, enveloping Zhongshan Shi and the other three!

Though Zhongshan Shi spoke forcefully, he did not dare underestimate Di Jun.

He immediately met the attack head-on, clashing directly against Di Jun's edge.

A battle between Quasi-Saints shook heaven and earth!

Di Jun and Zhongshan Shi!

The two could be called the strongest among the Quasi-Saints of this age.

Thus, their battle sent enormous ripples tearing through the void.

Magnificent and turbulent, with clouds and waves shifting unpredictably!

Above the Ninth Heaven, tribulation light spread for millions of miles, flooding the boundless cosmos.

Its overwhelming momentum made all who heard of it tremble in fear and shudder in terror!

This was a collision of Dao techniques, a contest of laws!

With a single thought, the two could manifest countless Order Divine Chains stretching across the void.

Clang...

The sound of metal striking metal Resounded Through the air, piercing gold and shattering stone, thunderous enough to deafen!

The laws wielded by the two seemed to have materialized, displaying astonishing resilience and power.

Plucking stars and seizing moons!

Burning mountains and filling seas!

One apocalyptic spectacle after another came effortlessly to their hands.

Only then did all living beings suddenly realize.

It turned out that when Zhongshan Shi had fought Fuxi earlier, he had not even fully unleashed all his strength.

Only now, against a true powerhouse, did he reveal such terrifying combat power.

All living beings clicked their tongues in astonishment, finding it unbelievable!

"The human race is rather extraordinary..."

Countless great powers found such thoughts surfacing in their hearts.

At this moment, Zhongshan Shi and Di Jun continued their unending battle in the field.

Great mountains collapsed, turning to dust in the blink of an eye.

The Four Seas churned, raising monstrous waves.

The Primordial World trembled, and even the chaotic cosmos was alarmed.

The terror of Quasi-Saints was displayed without reservation.

Amid the battle, Di Jun suddenly swept out his hand.

"Mountain River Society Map, appear!"

As his words fell, a treasure emerged. It expanded rapidly in the wind, manifesting mountains, rivers, all things, and stars throughout the cosmos.

The Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Mountain River Society Map, contained an entire world within it!

Zhou Yuan, who had been closely watching the scene, saw this and his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Nuwa, you finally couldn't hold back any longer?"

Zhou Yuan sneered and spoke through gritted teeth.

The Mountain River Society Map had originally belonged to Nuwa. Clearly, she had bestowed it upon Di Jun to aid him in battle.

Though she had not appeared personally, Nuwa had already intervened in today's battle.

Meanwhile, Di Jun used the Mountain River Society Map to manifest another world.
