Chapter 108: Establishing the Saint Court, the Great Battle in Chaos

After the Eye of Heavenly Punishment appeared, apart from releasing the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, it made no other moves. Di Xin knew that the Eye of Heavenly Punishment was waiting, or rather, the Heavenly Dao was waiting; it was waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly Court's troops.

Zhao Gongming and the others, hidden in the shadows, also understood the intent of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, so they too were waiting—waiting for the Heavenly Court to arrive.

Before long, bursts of drumbeats reached the ears of everyone in Zhaoge. These were the war drums of the Heavenly Court.

The drumbeats moved from afar to near, and after a few breaths, they appeared above everyone's heads.

Di Xin looked up. At this moment, endless dark clouds appeared beneath the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, and it was from these clouds that the drumbeats emanated.

"The Human Race does not revere the Heavenly Dao, does not respect the Heavenly Court; they must be executed!" At this moment, a cold voice resounded throughout the entire Primordial World.

This voice was the voice of the Heavenly Dao. When this voice sounded, it was equivalent to sentencing the Human Race, finalizing the nature of the Human Race.

The next second, the dark clouds dispersed, and countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals appeared beneath the Eye of Heavenly Punishment. This scene was extremely oppressive.

A giant purple eye appeared brightly in the sky. Beneath the giant eye were sheets of dark clouds, and within the clouds, countless figures flickered. They wore battle armor and had dull eyes, but the aura on their bodies was very strong.

Clearly, they were not here of their own volition; they must have been controlled by the Heavenly Dao. Yet, apart from cultivators, no one else could see this.

"Kill!" After the voice of the Heavenly Dao fell, those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals rushed down like a flood.

These Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were completely different from those who had helped Xiqi before. At this moment, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals perfectly interpreted the meaning of the four words "fearless of death."

In Yaochi, the Jade Emperor had already been sealed here by the Heavenly Dao Hongjun. Now, he could not leave Yaochi at all, but he could see the situation outside through the Kunlun Mirror.

He did not know why the Dao Ancestor would do this, but there must be a reason for the Dao Ancestor's actions.

At this moment, seeing those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who were fearless of death, a trace of trance flashed in his eyes. These were, in fact, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals he had envisioned; now, under the control of the Dao Ancestor, they had actually been realized.

As the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals rushed toward Zhaoge, the next second, a golden light lit up from within Zhaoge City. This was a protective barrier, a protective barrier condensed from the fortune of the Human Race.

"Fight!" Di Xin said coldly.

The next second, countless Human cultivators flew out from Zhaoge City and engaged in battle with those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

Because the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were now fearless of death, both the Human Race and they suffered casualties, and the Human Race's casualties were even greater.

Standing on the sacrificial altar and seeing this scene, Di Xin clenched his fists tightly. He did not expect the Heavenly Dao to do this. If these people were all wiped out, even if the Saint Court were established, it would only be an empty shell.

"Do you think my Human Race has no one?" Suddenly, a voice reached Di Xin's ears.

The next second, a black dot appeared on the horizon. Soon, this black dot turned into countless figures. In the blink of an eye, these figures arrived in Zhaoge and engaged in battle with those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

These people were none other than those from the Human Race's ancestral land on the shores of the East Sea. They were the first batch of humans created by Nüwa. There were three thousand of them in total, and these three thousand were molded by Nüwa one by one. The remaining humans were made from mud splashes from Siting's original body; there was an essential difference between the two.

After so many years, these humans had all become Da Luo Golden Immortals, and all were at the peak of the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm.

When these three thousand Da Luo Golden Immortals appeared, the situation instantly reversed, and the Human Race immediately gained the upper hand.

At this time, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, which had been motionless, finally moved. Countless purple light spots drifted out from its eye, and these light spots randomly fell onto the surrounding Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

When these light spots appeared on them, the dull-looking Heavenly Soldiers and Generals immediately showed painful expressions on their faces, and then the aura on their bodies began to climb. Soon, the aura of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who had integrated the light spots reached the peak of the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm, matching the strength of these humans.

"Hmph!" The leader of the three thousand humans saw this scene and let out a cold snort.

Cultivation forcibly raised could not be compared to the cultivation they had practiced day by day. Even if the Heavenly Court had three thousand Da Luo Golden Immortals now, so what?

And the facts were indeed as everyone thought: the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals whose strength was forcibly raised by the Eye of Heavenly Punishment were still no match for the Human Race.

Soon, these hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were slaughtered by the three thousand Human Da Luo Golden Immortals.

But the Eye of Heavenly Punishment still did not disperse. A trace of anger appeared in its deep, dark pupils. This was not an emotion the Heavenly Dao should have, but now it had truly appeared in the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

"Execute!" The cold voice of the Heavenly Dao sounded again.

As the words fell, a purple lightning bolt as thick as an arm flew out from the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, heading straight for Zhaoge City.

Boom—

This Purple Heaven Divine Lightning landed on the protective barrier formed by the Human Race's fortune. With just one strike, Di Xin spat out blood, his face turned deathly pale, and his whole body collapsed to the ground, his aura withered.

This strike severely damaged the Human Race's fortune, but the Eye of Heavenly Punishment did not have it easy either. When the Human Race's fortune was damaged, a blood-red color suddenly appeared on the purple pupil of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment. This was karma; even if it was the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, it could not escape the causality of being burdened by karma.

But the Eye of Heavenly Punishment only hesitated for a moment before another Purple Heaven Divine Lightning shot out from its eye.

However, this Purple Heaven Divine Lightning did not land in Zhaoge but was blocked by a tree branch.

This tree branch was shimmering with golden light; clearly, this was the golden light of merit. This tree branch was none other than the pen used by the Ancestor of Literature, Cang Jie, to create characters.

"My Human Race is no longer a race to be bullied. Even the Heavenly Dao cannot do it." Cang Jie's voice sounded.

The next second, he appeared above Zhaoge City. With his appearance, streaks of golden light sprinkled onto Di Xin. Di Xin's condition improved a lot, but his face still felt listless.

"If you want to lay a hand on my Human Race, you must first step over me." Cang Jie looked coldly at the Eye of Heavenly Punishment. After saying this, he released all his merit.

The merit on Cang Jie's body was already comparable to the merit when the Three Sovereigns attained the Dao, and even more. Seeing this scene, a look of hesitation and anger appeared in the eyes of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

After Cang Jie appeared, the Five Emperors appeared one after another beside him. They also released the merit on their bodies. They did not speak, but their actions had already proven everything.

After the Five Emperors appeared, it was the Three Sovereigns. They were the important figures who established the Human Race as the protagonists of heaven and earth. After they appeared, they also released the merit on their bodies.

After the Three Sovereigns appeared, it was the Three Ancestors of the Human Race. After the Three Ancestors of the Human Race appeared, the Falling Treasure Money also stood out.

The Falling Treasure Money was like a signal. Next, the Twelve Zodiacs, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Gods, and all the cultivators who had once received merit stood out. They looked coldly at the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

The meaning in the eyes of these humans was very clear: either you kill us, or you retreat. There was no third option.

Zixiao Palace.

"Hahaha! This poor Daoist said it before: the Human Race is no longer an existence that the Heavenly Dao can control. When the Earthly Dao and the Heavenly Dao run in parallel, the Human Dao cannot be under the Heavenly Dao. There is one more point: this Human Race's destiny as the protagonist of heaven and earth seems to be given by the Heavenly Dao, but in reality, it was fought for by the Human Race itself. It has nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao at all." The Xuanmen Hongjun said to the Heavenly Dao Hongjun with a look of mockery.

"Without my approval, the Human Race could not have become the protagonist of heaven and earth, nor could they have resisted me." The Heavenly Dao Hongjun said coldly.

"Do you believe that?" The Xuanmen Hongjun asked.

The Heavenly Dao Hongjun did not speak. The Xuanmen Hongjun knew that the Heavenly Dao Hongjun could not think of words to refute him.

In fact, when Pan Huang became the leader of the Ren Sect, the Xuanmen Hongjun had already discovered the clues. But at that time, the Xuanmen Hongjun had already merged with the Heavenly Dao. Knowing the calculations of the Heavenly Dao, he could not possibly tell the Heavenly Dao Hongjun about this. In the end, this matter resulted in the current outcome.

After a long silence, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun stood up and disappeared from the Zixiao Palace.

"Pan Huang, let us have a battle in Chaos!" Hongjun's voice appeared in the Primordial World.

On Mount Shouyang, after Pan Huang heard the words of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Since you want to fight, then let us fight!" Pan Huang muttered to himself.

After speaking, he disappeared from the Saint Huang Hall. At the same time, Zhong Ling turned into a stream of light and flew toward Pan Huang, and the Pangu Banner and the Taiji Diagram also turned into streams of light and flew toward Pan Huang.

Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun had the heart to stop him, but they could not stop him at all. In the end, they gave up.

When the Heavenly Dao Hongjun appeared in Chaos, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment above Zhaoge City disappeared. Seeing this scene, the people of the Human Race did not have any joyful expressions on their faces.

Just now, the words of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun had spread throughout the entire Primordial World. He wanted to challenge the Human Race's Saint Teacher and the leader of the Ren Sect to a battle in Chaos. Everyone knew that if Pan Huang lost, the Human Race would become a race under the Heavenly Dao, and the Human Dao would also become a vassal of the Heavenly Dao.

But once Pan Huang won, the Human Dao would manifest, and the Human Race would become another race, a race independent of the ten thousand races of the Primordial World. They would truly become the protagonists in the real sense.

"Human King, establish the Saint Court first. The Saint Teacher's side is not something you should worry about." Suiren-shi looked at Di Xin and said lightly.

"Yes!" Di Xin nodded.

"Today, my Human Race takes Zhaoge as the foundation of the Saint Court. May the Great Dao witness it!" Di Xin held the jade seal and shouted loudly.

This jade seal was a clone of the Kongtong Seal, specifically created by Pan Huang.

After hearing Di Xin's words, the Great Dao manifested again.

"Granted!" The cold voice of the Great Dao appeared throughout the entire Primordial World.

When the voice of the Great Dao fell, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, far away in Chaos, trembled all over. A trace of unwillingness appeared in his eyes, and then this trace of unwillingness turned into killing intent, shrouding Pan Huang.

"Kill you, and everything will return to the right track." The Heavenly Dao Hongjun looked at Pan Huang and said coldly.

After speaking, the Creation Jade Butterfly appeared above his head, and a long spear as black as ink appeared in his hand.

"God-Slaying Spear!" Seeing the long spear in the hand of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, Pan Huang said with a smile.

After Pan Huang finished speaking, he directly summoned the Pangu True Body. After the Pangu True Body appeared, three streams of light gathered in his hand, finally turning into an axe. This axe was none other than the Pangu Axe.

"It is still more intimate here. Hongjun, choosing this place as the battlefield will be the most wrong decision you have ever made." Pan Huang twisted his neck and said.

After speaking, Pan Huang waved his hand, and the Chaos Qi in Chaos became restless. Finally, they formed a beast-skin skirt on Pan Huang's body, and at this time, Pan Huang's upper body was bare.

"Pangu!" Seeing Pan Huang like this, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun gritted his teeth and shouted.

"The Primordial World was opened up by Father God Pangu. You are merely a derivative in Father God Pangu's world, yet you dare to calculate against the descendants of Father God. Today, I will teach you a good lesson on behalf of Father God, and let you know who is the real master of the Primordial World." Pan Huang let out a cold snort and raised his hand, swinging the axe.

The next second, a bright silver axe light appeared. When this axe light appeared, countless Chaos Qi surged into this axe light, and finally, this axe light turned pitch black.

Seeing this axe light, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun's face instantly became solemn. Pangu was born in Chaos and was one of the three thousand gods and demons. This Chaos was his home field.

Although Pan Huang was not Pangu, he could summon the Pangu True Body. Under the blessing of the Pangu True Body, Pan Huang could still mobilize the Chaos Qi. With the blessing of the Chaos Qi, the gap between him and the Heavenly Dao Hongjun narrowed significantly.

"Hmph!" Although the Heavenly Dao Hongjun's face was solemn, he was not afraid. He let out a cold snort, and the Creation Jade Butterfly above his head released a large amount of white light, wrapping him up.

Pan Huang's axe light did not cause any substantial damage, and Pan Huang was not discouraged. If the Heavenly Dao Hongjun were so easy to kill, those who shouted about going against the heavens would have killed the heavens eight hundred times over.

"My turn!" After the Heavenly Dao Hongjun blocked Pan Huang's strike, he made a forward thrusting motion with the long spear in his hand.

The next second, a black-red giant dragon formed by killing intent and baleful aura rushed toward Pan Huang.

Pan Huang was fearless and raised his hand to swing the axe. Up to now, he still had not used the Nine Styles of Opening the Heavens; he was still using ordinary attack methods.

After this axe light collided with the black dragon, it immediately dissipated, and the black dragon also dissipated.

"Probing back and forth is meaningless. Since you are unwilling to strike first, let me go first." Pan Huang looked at the Heavenly Dao Hongjun and said coldly.

"First Style of Opening the Heavens!" Pan Huang shouted angrily and swung the Pangu Axe in his hand in a horizontal sweep. This strike had no fancy movements, just a simple horizontal sweep, but Hongjun's face changed drastically.

Because just as this axe was swung, the surrounding Chaos Qi became restless, and the space in Chaos even faintly showed a trace of fluctuation.

Bang—

The axe light hit the protective barrier formed by the Creation Jade Butterfly, causing the Heavenly Dao Hongjun to retreat three and a half steps directly.

"Kill!" Seeing Hongjun forced back, Pan Huang disappeared from the spot.

The next second, the axe light appeared above Hongjun's head and slammed fiercely into the protective barrier. Even though Hongjun had been fully prepared, this strike still made him stagger several steps, nearly falling over at the end.

"Kill!" At this time, Hongjun also found an opportunity to counterattack. After he deflected an axe light, he raised his hand and thrust the spear over.

Pan Huang hurriedly raised his hand to block the attack of the God-Slaying Spear with the blade of the Pangu Axe. The powerful force caused Pan Huang to retreat more than five steps.
