Chapter 1215: 847 Barbarian Race (Requesting Monthly Votes)_2

Whoosh~~

The brilliant light burst forth, even more resplendent than the first ray of light born from the opening of Heaven and Earth. It was the radiance of the Heaven-Opening Axe, as well as the glory of opening Heaven and Earth – the ultimate expression of strength, the vessel of Tao. It could cleave through all, shattering Chaos and birthing Heaven and Earth.

Although the divine punishment light represented the power of Heavenly Dao, the origin of the Duotian Shenfan was from the Pangu Axe, which could even split Chaos, let alone the power of the Heavenly Dao?

With almost no resistance, the overwhelming divine punishment light was sliced in half by the dazzling light of the Pangu Axe, dispersing into countless specks of light.

Immediately after, the dazzling axe light continued its unstoppable advance toward Ancestor Qing, who wore a look of utter disbelief.

"Impossible!"

Ancestor Qing truly wanted to go mad; he couldn’t believe that his full-force strike was no match for Jiang Chen.

If the Quasi-Saints of the Human Race behind Jiang Chen had helped him, Ancestor Qing could have consoled himself that it wasn’t because of his own inadequacy but rather because the opponent had the advantage of numbers.

But this was a one-on-one battle! He was a Great Divine Transcendent born at the beginning of Prehistoric World, and yet he couldn’t defeat Jiang Chen, a junior. Was there no justice in the world?

However, unwilling as he might feel in his heart, faced with the surging brilliant axe light, Ancestor Qing didn’t dare to be careless. Ancient and mystical Divine Abilities burst from his hands, filled with earth-shattering might, attempting to shatter the oncoming axe light.

But it was useless!

No matter how powerful Ancestor Qing’s Divine Abilities were, in front of the Heaven-Opening Axe light, they were like paper, easily split apart.

"Run!"

Ancestor Qing tried to flee, but he had already been locked onto by the axe light from afar. No matter how much he shifted through time and space, the distance between him and the axe light did not grow wider, but instead, was getting ever closer.

"Ahh!"

Seeing the axe light getting closer, Ancestor Qing let out a long howl, his body suddenly bursting forth with dazzling divine light. He deployed all kinds of defensive Divine Abilities, and protective Magic Treasures rose up, enveloping him layers upon layers.

If he couldn’t win, and he couldn’t escape, then his only option was to defend with all his might.

The axe light crossed through layers of the void, colliding with Ancestor Qing’s body. In an instant, brilliant radiance erupted, as if thousands of suns rose at the same moment, the Heaven and Earth were flooded with light, obscuring everything from view.

"What a pity!"

Just then, Jiang Chen suddenly let out a sigh. He could clearly sense that Ancestor Qing had not fallen, that he had blocked the strike.

After all, how could Great Divine Transcendents be so easily defeated? If they could be slain with a single blow, there wouldn’t remain so many Great Divine Transcendents between Heaven and Earth nowadays.

Furthermore...

Jiang Chen glanced at the Duotian Shenfan in his hand, then at the Taoist mirror behind him, feeling more of a sense of helplessness in his heart.

These two Innate Treasures, while called such, each had their own problems and couldn’t unleash their full power.

Take the Taoist mirror, for example. Although it could unleash power comparable to an Innate Treasure, it wasn’t actually an Innate Treasure and was always missing that final touch, making its discharged power not as seamless and flawless as imagined; it had its defects.

It might be able to immobilize a Quasi-Saint, but that didn’t necessarily mean it could immobilize a Great Divine Transcendent.

As for the Duotian Shenfan, even though it hadn’t recovered to its peak, it had indeed returned to the level of an Innate Treasure, but it too had issues.

Within the Duotian Shenfan, there were nine Quasi-Saints resisting the weapon’s refinement, constantly causing trouble and disruption, which significantly reduced the power of the Duotian Shenfan, preventing it from being fully utilized.

If it weren’t for these issues and the combined power of the two Innate Treasures, even if they couldn’t kill Ancestor Qing, they would at least gravely injure him, leaving his life hanging by a thread, instead of just wounding him like now.

It is unknown how much time had passed when the axelight that crisscrossed the heaven and earth gradually faded away, revealing the bloodied figure of Ancestor Qing.

Covered in blood, he looked horrifying, but to Great Divine Transcendents, even having their bodies blown apart was not considered serious harm, let alone being drenched in blood—it essentially equated to being unharmed.

Jiang Chen did not take the opportunity to strike an additional blow, not because he was kind-hearted but because he no longer had the chance. As he was clashing with Ancestor Qing, two other Great Divine Transcendents from the myriad clans had arrived.

Altogether, there were only three Great Divine Transcendents among the myriad clans, serving as the elders of the three strongest clans: Ancestor Qing of the Heavenly People, the elder of the Five Elements clan known as the Five Elements Ancestor, and the Barbarian Ancestor of the Barbarian Race.

Clearly, it was the Five Elements Ancestor and the Barbarian Ancestor who had now arrived. The losses suffered by the alliance of the myriad clans today were tremendous, going deep enough to affect their very core. If Ancestor Qing of the Heavenly People were to fall as well, it would touch upon the foundation of their existence, an unbearable agony for the myriad clans.

Hence, at this moment, the other two Great Divine Transcendents of the myriad clans had also been alerted and could not help but rush over.

"Everyone, cease the fight!"

Accompanied by a rough voice, two figures, godlike yet demonic, emerged from the void and appeared before Jiang Chen.

These two figures were the other two Great Divine Transcendents of the myriad clans, the Barbarian Ancestor and the Five Elements Ancestor.

Barbarian Ancestor was tall and burly, with a humanoid appearance, but atop his head, there were a pair of huge ox horns, and his body was covered in golden dragon scales; behind him trailed a tail resembling that of a serpent.

The term "barbarian" was not a compliment, embodying stubbornness, density, and clumsiness, as well as rudeness and aggression.

In short, the word "barbarian" was a pejorative term, and to refer to the Barbarian Race as such indicated disdain.

As the world generally spoke of them, the Barbarian Race did indeed live up to their name: Their people were crude and unreasonable, and above all, extremely simple-minded. However, no matter how many flaws the Barbarian Race might have, their formidable strength could not be obscured.

The survival of such a formidable race to this day, rather than being exterminated, was supported by their immense strength.

The Barbarian Race was born with a formidable physique, immense strength, and a towering stature, with the power to wrestle True Dragons.

In simple terms, the Barbarian Race could be considered a weakened version of the Witch Clan: scale down the strength of a Witch Clan warrior by one or two levels, and they would be on par with the Barbarians.

As for why the Barbarian Race was like this, it had to do with their origin. Unlike all other races, the Barbarian Race was not a product of Heaven and Earth’s natural evolution but was later propagated.

The origin of the Barbarian Race is extremely ancient, traceable back to the era of Fierce Beasts when Heaven and Earth first opened. That was the time when Fierce Beasts were at their most glorious, virtually considered as a half-owner of heaven and earth.

The beasts of that time were the original Fierce Beasts, no different from Innate Saints, all possessing top-tier wisdom. The so-called Barbarian Race comprised the offspring resulting from the union between these primeval Fierce Beasts and Innate Saints.

Inheriting both the bloodline of the primeval Fierce Beasts and that of the primeval Innate Saints, how could the Barbarian Race not be powerful?

In all of Prehistoric World, few could stand shoulder to shoulder with them, and only the descendants of Pangu from the Witch Clan could surpass them.

The strength of the Barbarian Race was primarily manifested in two aspects: first, from the primeval Fierce Beasts, they inherited a potent physical body; second, from the Innate Saints, they inherited powerful Innate Divine Abilities.

Each of these talents was incredibly powerful on its own, and when combined, the effect was not as simple as one plus one but rather an exponential enhancement.

In theory, with such exceptional characteristics, the Barbarian Race should be extremely strong, but why then do they now have an inconspicuous reputation and have even fallen to the point where they associate with the myriad clans?

It can only be said that the Barbarian Race was unlucky; they rose because of the lineage of Fierce Beasts and fell for the same reason.

The primeval Fierce Beasts were defeated by the Innate Saints and completely vanished from the stage of history. As their descendants, the Barbarian Race naturally suffered thus, undergoing purging by the Innate Saints. Although the race was not exterminated, it was gravely injured, unable to develop to its full potential to this day.

It can be stated that if it weren’t for the fact that the bloodline of Innate Saints coursed through the Barbarians alongside that of the primeval Fierce Beasts, their fate would not have been merely purging but outright eradication, swept into the dust of history along with the primeval Fierce Beasts.

The Innate Saints of that era still retained some familial affection, showing mercy; otherwise, the Barbarian Race would not have survived to this day.
