Rewriting the Investiture of the Gods in the Primordial Era

Zhuxiang rubbed his chest and immediately nodded.

With a flash, Zhuxiang appeared within the battle formation of the grand army. His aura connected with the five hundred peak Golden Immortals below, and in an instant, boundless killing intent surged upwards.

"Open!"

With Zhuxiang's loud shout, a bloody sphere flashed and vanished. Jiang Haofeng saw a flash of blood before his eyes, and he appeared in a blood-colored space. Killing intent permeated the space, and as far as he could see, everything was blood-red.

The next moment, countless streams of bloody mist rose, instantly filling the entire space with killing intent. Everything was suppressed and eroded by the killing intent. Jiang Haofeng's own killing intent circulated around his body, forming a protective barrier on his skin to block the erosion.

Immediately after, Jiang Haofeng also reined in the killing intent within his physical body. Beams of golden light erupted from him, and a pure aura spread out. Golden immortal light rippled, forming a protective shield.

This was precisely the protective divine ability from the Grand Pure Immortal Method – the Grand Pure Immortal Light!

The moment he switched techniques, the surrounding killing intent surged forward. The golden light around Jiang Haofeng dimmed at a visible rate. Fortunately, the immortal light was resilient and managed to block the erosion of the killing intent, though it was a struggle.

It was unavoidable. In terms of immortal cultivation, Jiang Haofeng was only at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, far from his physical body cultivation. If Jiang Haofeng's Grand Pure Immortal Light were not an imitation of the Grand Pure Sage, possessing even a fraction of the Grand Pure Sage's spiritual charm, he would have already been eroded by the killing intent.

And this was merely the beginning; the real attack had not yet arrived. The battle formation was something Jiang Haofeng had deduced himself, and he was even more familiar with it than Zhuxiang, who was wielding it.

"Myriad Fiends Slaughtering God!"

Zhuxiang's voice echoed from all directions. The killing intent in the void instantly condensed, permeating the entire space. The killing intent coalesced into tens of thousands of streams, like blood-red spheres drifting in the void.

Boom!

The next moment, tens of thousands of streams of killing intent transformed into streaks of light, crashing down on Jiang Haofeng. In just a moment, thousands of them struck the protective profound light around Jiang Haofeng, shattering the protective Grand Pure Profound Light directly. The streams of killing intent then slammed directly into Jiang Haofeng's Great Witch Treasure Body.

However, these streams of killing intent could not harm Jiang Haofeng's thousand-times-tempered Great Witch Treasure Body!

Strictly speaking, Jiang Haofeng's body was not a true martial body. After all, Jiang Haofeng cultivated the genuine Nine Revolutions Profound Art, not the evolved Nine Tribulations Martial Scripture. Calling it a Great Witch Treasure Body was more fitting, and moreover, it was a perfectly complete Great Witch Treasure Body!

Within the formation, Jiang Haofeng, who was being attacked by tens of thousands of streams of killing intent, had his eyes light up. This power was impressive. Just the direct assault from the killing intent alone could reach the level of a mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Furthermore, killing intent was most effective at corrupting magic treasures, mana, and immortal bodies. Its effect against his Great Witch Treasure Body was rather ordinary, as he cultivated with killing intent himself and thus was not afraid of its corrosion.

If this killing intent were pure energy, it would be incredibly powerful against defensive divine abilities. According to Jiang Haofeng's estimation, a normal late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal who only cultivated mana would likely not be able to withstand the erosion of this killing intent.

And this was only the first change of the great formation. The power of the formation, which Jiang Haofeng had spent so long deducing, was undeniable.

Streams of killing intent struck Jiang Haofeng before dissipating into the void and then re-condensing under the effect of the battle formation, ceaselessly regenerating, infinite and unending.

It was a pity, though. If it couldn't harm him, it couldn't harm him. More of it was useless.

"Condense!"

Zhuxiang's voice sounded again. The tens of thousands of streams of killing intent in the void condensed, forming blood-colored long swords. In an instant, the blood-colored space was filled with dense, blood-red blades, and an unseen, deadly aura swept through the void.

"Kill!"

Tens of thousands of swords were unleashed simultaneously, all aimed at Jiang Haofeng, preparing to pierce him with a thousand arrows!

"Excellent!"

Jiang Haofeng chuckled, not dodging. Killing intent surged around him, fully activating his Great Witch Treasure Body. Streams of Chaos-colored Profound Light rippled around him. His physical profound light rippled, making him as indestructible as Primordial Divine Gold.

Clang, clang, clang!

Tens of thousands of long swords struck one after another, but all were repelled. They could not harm Jiang Haofeng in the slightest.

This was a complete Great Witch Treasure Body, its physical form comparable to a Postnatal Spirit Treasure. It was incredibly powerful and was the reliance of the Witch Tribe in dominating the Primordial Era!

"Gather!"

As Zhuxiang's voice fell, tens of thousands of streams of killing intent converged, forming a massive cloud of killing intent. The cloud began to compress continuously, finally forming a blood-red long sword!

The long sword was like blood-red jade, exuding a fierce killing intent. As he was targeted by the long sword, Jiang Haofeng's Great Witch Treasure Body actually felt a stinging sensation.

Jiang Haofeng's eyes lit up. This strike could break through his defenses!

The long sword whistled past like a bloody meteor, its fierce killing intent sweeping out. For the first time since their spar began, Jiang Haofeng felt pressure, and a serious expression appeared on his face.

Jiang Haofeng joined his fingers and drew a line across the sky. The blood-colored sword energy in the sky was silently split in two, and the formation space that enveloped Jiang Haofeng also split in two!

"Not bad. Your strength is considerable. With the Myriad Fiends Slaughtering God Formation, five hundred peak Golden Immortals, combined with a peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal, can already contend with ordinary late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal powerhouses."

"The cultivators in the Disha Camp are not strong enough, but they can still put up a fight against early-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortals."

Jiang Haofeng retracted his fingers, nodding with satisfaction.

Facing Jiang Haofeng's praise, Zhuxiang stared blankly at Jiang Haofeng's retracted fingers, "Haofeng, was that Heaven Opening Earth Splitting just now?"

"Yes!"

"This Heaven Opening Earth Splitting is so powerful."

The sharpness of that move could not be described in words; ultimately, no words could describe the magnificence of that strike. The five hundred peak Golden Immortals, along with the killing sword condensed by a peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal, were like tofu before that sharpness, easily sliced apart.

The outer great formation was the same. It was utterly destroyed. One strike tore through everything!

"Of the nine martial divine abilities I've passed down, Heaven Opening Earth Splitting is undoubtedly the strongest. If its power wasn't so great, how could it be the head of the nine martial divine abilities!" Jiang Haofeng said with a smile.

Hearing this, a glint flashed in Zhuxiang's eyes, and his heart stirred. With such a powerful divine ability, if he could cultivate it, he might even be able to fight against a Grand Luo Golden Immortal as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

Jiang Haofeng glanced at Zhuxiang, who was eager to try, "Stop thinking about it. I told you before, this Heaven Opening Earth Splitting divine ability cannot be cultivated with low cultivation. Wait until you break through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm."

"Alright!"

Jiang Haofeng dispersed the Two Forms Micro Dust Great Array, and the humans returned to Central Phoenix Mountain.

The crowd dispersed, and Jiang Haofeng refined the formation further before everyone went their separate ways to cultivate.

Jiang Haofeng also returned to his own cottage.

His house was located next to the Human Ancestral Pavilion. Two cottages were built on either side of the pavilion: one was Jiang Haofeng's residence, which he built after returning from his travels.

The other housed a simplified bell tower, within which hung the golden bell used to summon the human clan elders.

A golden light flashed through the void, and Zhisheng appeared on Central Phoenix Mountain. Inside his cottage, Jiang Haofeng opened his eyes, got up, and walked out the door.

"Haofeng!" Zhisheng greeted him with a smile.

"You're here. How are things with humanity outside?" Jiang Haofeng's face also broke into a smile as he casually asked.

Among humanity, Zhisheng was the one he had the best relationship with. Zhisheng was the first person Jiang Haofeng had met, and they were the closest in their daily interactions.

As one of the twenty-six elders of the Human Manifest Lineage, Zhisheng and Xuandu were the only two without descendants. Xuandu cultivated under the Grand Pure Sage, while Zhisheng randomly patrolled the various tribes of the Human Manifest Lineage.

Wherever she went, she stayed. It made no difference which tribe she stayed in, as long as they weren't particularly close to her.

After staying in a tribe for a period, Zhisheng would return to Central Phoenix Mountain, spend a few days there, and then move on to another tribe. This cycle repeated.

Zhisheng was the most frequent visitor between the Human Manifest Lineage and Central Phoenix Mountain, serving as a bridge for communication between the two branches of humanity. It was Zhisheng who had spread the news of Jiang Haofeng's breakthrough.

"Things are good. Everything is going smoothly, no different from usual."

The two stood side by side, gazing into the distance.

After a pause, Zhisheng spoke again, "However, our human influence is nearing the Witch and Demon Tribes. In the southernmost part of our territory, there is a Demon King at the Grand Unity realm. It's said he's a descendant of a Demon God from the Demon Court."

"To the north, we are also getting closer to the Witch tribes. The distance is only about a heavenly ruler away, so it won't be long before we border both tribes."

Hearing this, Jiang Haofeng's brow furrowed. "Why are we expanding so quickly? Didn't I warn our people against excessive expansion?"

Zhisheng gave a wry smile. "There's no other way. The number of our people is growing too rapidly. If we don't expand, we can't even support the current population."

"Even two ordinary humans who can't cultivate can give birth to nearly a hundred offspring in their lifetime!"

Jiang Haofeng was speechless. The innate spiritual energy in the Primordial Era was too dense, and the world contained endless innate spiritual energy. Even without cultivation, living beings generally had long lifespans, nurtured by this energy. It was not a problem for ordinary Acquired Humans to live for a thousand years.

In a thousand years, even with fewer births, offspring would typically number over a hundred, with some having several hundred.

Generation after generation, the human population grew like a snowball, and their territory continuously expanded.

Even though Jiang Haofeng had specifically warned the elders of the Human Manifest Lineage, the expansion rate remained fast.

"We cannot come into conflict with the Witch and Demon Tribes. The Witches control the earth, and the Demons control the sky. Humanity is no match for them."

"Out of respect for the Saints, those two tribes won't attack humanity first. But if we make the first move, and they retaliate, the Saints won't be able to say anything."

Zhisheng smiled. "Don't worry, I know the gravity of the situation. With the Witches and Demons being so powerful, humanity is trying to hide rather than provoke them."

"I've already emphasized to the northern and southern tribes that from now on, we will not expand our borders by even an inch."

"That's good!" Jiang Haofeng nodded.

"Have you finished deducing the battle formation?" Zhisheng asked curiously from the side.

"Yes, I have." Jiang Haofeng smiled.

"It's okay if you haven't, there's still plenty of time, we can slowly... What?"

Zhisheng, who was habitually offering comfort, was stunned. She then looked at Jiang Haofeng, her eyes filled with surprise and asked.

Haofeng had been deducing this battle formation for a very, very long time. Zhisheng had asked many times, and each time there was progress, but it was never fully deduced. Today, she had just asked as usual, not expecting any surprises.

"It has been deduced. It's called the Myriad Fiends Slaughtering God Formation!"

"What's its power like?" Zhisheng asked with anticipation.

"Combining the power of five hundred Golden Immortals, led by a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, it can fight against a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. With Zhuxiang leading five hundred peak Golden Immortal Innate Humans, they can unleash the power of a late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal." Zhisheng's eyes instantly widened as she looked at Jiang Haofeng in disbelief. Fighting against a Grand Luo, and a late-stage Grand Luo at that!

Wouldn't that mean Zhuxiang could easily defeat her now?
