Chapter 105 Encirclement and Slaughter, a Disregard for Martial Morality
The new generation of exceptional talents nurtured by this great era are showing their brilliance, stirring up wave after wave of frenzy on the ancient starry road.
Among these brilliant new stars, three names stand out, hailed as the Three Heroes of the Primordial Era, enjoying unparalleled prominence.
"Barbarian King" Gu Man, born from a primordial race, is over ten feet tall, and his bronze skin seems to contain a terrifying power capable of tearing stars apart.
He specializes in strength and physical prowess, firmly believing that brute force can produce miracles, and that his fists are the best weapon. He once destroyed a starship of an enemy race with his bare hands.
At a certain pass on the ancient road, he single-handedly fought five Great Saint-level wild beasts of the same rank, and then defeated them, tearing that wasteland to pieces. His wild and domineering fighting style was terrifying.
The pale golden patterns on the top of the ancient barbarian's head became more and more obvious, and ancient totems were faintly emerging.
Shi Xuan, the "Master of Yin and Yang," is a human with a tall and slender figure and a calm demeanor tinged with mystery.
Inspired by the fragments of the Yin-Yang Dao contained in Jiang Hao's fortuitous encounter, he forged a unique path.
The two hands embody Yin and Yang: the left hand, Taiyin, freezes thousands of miles with cold; the right hand, Taiyang, melts gold and iron.
Furthermore, a simple Yin-Yang formation can be set up to trap and kill the enemy invisibly.
He once skillfully used the power of Yin and Yang to break the deadly restriction in an ancient ruin and obtained a lost ancient scripture. He also fought against a powerful enemy who cultivated the dark laws and used the way of Yin and Yang to break all laws, becoming famous in the region.
Yun Li, the "Fairy of Creation," is a human. She is exceptionally beautiful and surrounded by a constant aura of vitality. She possesses an extraordinary affinity and insight into the spirits of plants and the wonders of the world.
She grasped the basics of the Dao of Creation bestowed upon her by Jiang Hao, and delved into alchemy and natural magic. Her unique technique of creating life force could save people from the brink of death, and also conjure plants into soldiers, turning the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into a cage to trap enemies.
She once stirred the remaining life force in a desolate star field, giving birth to a hundred-mile-long sea of flowers and purifying the evil and deathly aura that lingered there.
He also refined elixirs to help several critically injured senior cultivators of the ancient path preserve their foundations, which is why he was so popular and praised by many older generation cultivators.
These three shared life and death, and had an unparalleled understanding. From the moment they embarked on the ancient path through the starry sky, they supported each other, overcame countless dangerous passes and secret realms, and defeated all their contemporaries.
They even challenged older, more powerful figures who were far above them in skill level without being at a disadvantage.
Their reputation is well-deserved; the title of "Three Heroes of the Primordial Era" is undisputed.
Occasionally, Jiang Hao would awaken from deep seclusion, scan the starry sky with his divine sense, and capture various rumors and achievements about the three little guys. A faint smile would always appear on his lips.
"Power, Yin and Yang, Creation... none of them went astray; on the contrary, each has blossomed. Not bad."
He was like a gardener who accidentally sowed a seed, and seeing the seedling grow strong and show its unique posture, he felt a sense of satisfaction.
"It wasn't for nothing that I did it casually back then. As for how far you can go, that depends on your own fate."
He never intended to interfere; he simply observed with a detached appreciation, occasionally paying attention.
Two hundred years have passed, and it seems that only the last trace of Jianghao Avenue is left before it completely disappears.
The battle on the ancient road has reached a fever pitch, with the intensity surpassing anything seen before.
Near a treacherous star field called Shattered Star Abyss, three somewhat disheveled streaks of light were fleeing for their lives; they were Gu Man, Shi Xuan, and Yun Li.
The three of them are now at the Quasi-Emperor level.
They had just fought their way out of an ancient secret realm called the Flame God Cave, and all three of them were seriously injured.
Gu Man had a deep scorch mark on his chest that revealed the bone, and it was surrounded by an aura of destruction that lingered.
Shi Xuan's face was pale and his breathing was unsteady, clearly indicating that he had exhausted himself.
A faint black aura was wrapped around Yun Li's arm, which she was struggling to dispel with the power of creation.
However, before they could catch their breath, a violent fluctuation came from the void behind them, and seven powerful auras locked onto them.
The weakest among them were all Quasi-Emperors, and there were three whose auras were as vast as the sea, clearly at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm!
"Three juniors, leave behind the Origin Jade you obtained from the Flame God Cave, and I may spare your lives!"
A cold, chilling voice pierced the starry sky, its tone haughty and superior.
"Bullshit!" Gu Man roared, turning around, his voice like thunder. "That's what we risked our lives for! Want it? Come and take it if you can!"
"Stubborn fools!" another quasi-emperor sneered. "Kill them, and the spoils will naturally be ours!"
These pursuers were from several races and forces that had a blood feud with the ancient barbarians.
These forces had long desired to eliminate the three ancient barbarians, and now, taking advantage of the opportunity presented by the Flame God Cave, they were determined to strangle these three peerless geniuses of the human race and the ancient race.
"Gu Man, Shi Xuan, ahead is the Shattered Star Abyss turbulent zone, which might be able to hold them off for a while!" Yun Li said quickly, enduring the pain in her arm.
Without hesitation, the three turned and rushed into the perilous area filled with spatial fragments and destructive energy storms.
However, among the pursuers was a quasi-emperor who was proficient in the art of space, who forcibly stabilized the passage and relentlessly pursued them.
Finally, on a dilapidated ancient star floating on the edge of turbulent waters, the three were caught up and surrounded.
Seven powerful figures appeared, led by a gray-robed quasi-emperor peak expert with a hooked nose and a sinister aura, holding a jet-black spear.
There were also two other peak Quasi-Emperor level experts. One of them was shrouded in crimson flames, and the other was an ancient clan member with a hunched back like an old ape and sharp eyes like knives.
The other four were also quasi-emperors, each exuding a murderous aura.
"Running away? Why aren't you running anymore?" The gray-robed quasi-emperor sneered. "Hand over the ancient jade, seal your cultivation, and perhaps I can give you a chance to become my servants."
Shi Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes calm yet resolute: "If you want to fight, then fight. Enough with the nonsense. If you want the ancient jade, you'll have to step over our dead bodies first."
Yun Li gently raised her hand, and specks of vibrant green light entered Gu Man and her own body, temporarily stabilizing her injuries. At the same time, faint creation array patterns appeared beneath her feet, preparing for a desperate fight.
Gu Man roared even more, his body swelling even larger, veins bulging beneath his bronze skin, and terrifying power gathering in his fist:
"Ah Xuan, Yun Li, I'll tear open an opening in a moment, then you two leave immediately, don't worry about me!"
"Bullshit! We'll die together!" Shi Xuan roared, his Yin and Yang energies forming a blurry Tai Chi diagram behind him.
"We won't abandon you!" Yun Li said firmly.
"How touching," the Flame Quasi-Emperor sneered. "Unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, sentiment is nothing but a joke. Since you refuse to submit, then die!"
The seven powerful figures unleashed their auras simultaneously, and the terrifying pressure caused even the dilapidated ancient star to begin to crumble.
In particular, the aura of the three peak Quasi-Emperors was like three ancient divine mountains pressing down, almost suffocating the three ancient barbarians who were already injured.
The three of them were only at the mid-stage of Quasi-Emperor, and were no match for a peak Quasi-Emperor.
"Fight them!" Gu Man's eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to burn his source energy to charge forward.
Shi Xuan and Yun Li were also preparing to use their last life-saving forbidden artifact, a one-time consumable item with immense power but also a heavy price to pay.
But their opponents didn't give them a chance at all. The ancient quasi-emperor, who was hunched over like an old ape, had a fierce glint in his eyes and actually summoned something!
