Chapter 885: Six Seven Eight Jiang Yi

Yet, this was still not the full extent of the Jiang Family’s strength.

As the oldest family of the Human Race, inheriting traditions from the ancient times, it was impossible for the Jiang Family to only have just twelve Innate Dao Sovereigns.

There were many more Innate Dao Sovereigns, who were currently in the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, and due to the vast distance, they had not had time to return.

Above the Innate Dao Sovereigns, there were several experts at the Quasi-Saint level within the Jiang Family. Although they were not as numerous as the Ji Family, they were not to be underestimated.

Among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the descendants of Xuanyuan, the Human Emperor, were all Emperors. The leading Emperor Shaohao was the eldest son of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, and Zhuan Xu was his eldest grandson...

The Five Emperors, who were all at the Great Perfection Level of Quasi-Saints, could unleash battle strength on par with the Great Divine Transcendents with the blessing of the Human Race’s fate.

The Five Emperors were born into the Ji Family, so naturally, it would seem that the Ji Family was stronger than the Jiang Family. However, that was not necessarily the case, and the strength of the Jiang Family might not be inferior to that of the Ji Family.

There were only four Quasi-Saints in the Jiang Family, namely the son and daughter of the Flame Emperor, Jiang Hao and his sister, along with Jiang Xuan, who was born of Chengtian, and the Army Lord God Chiyou, who was sealed in various places of heaven and earth.

These were the Quasi-Saint experts Jiang Chen knew of; as for whether the Jiang Family had other hidden experts, Jiang Chen had no idea.

Among the four Quasi-Saints of the Jiang Family, Jiang Hao was currently in secluded breakthrough, about to become a Great Divine Transcendent, which is to say, reaching the Half-step Primordial realm. His cultivation was even greater than that of the Five Emperors. As for his sister and Jiang Xuan, their strengths were unknown, but they were at least at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

As for the Army Lord God Chiyou, his strength was somewhat terrifying, not at all inferior to the Three Sovereigns, standing at the same level as a true grandmaster of ancient martial arts.

In the middle of ancient times, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan fought countless battles against him and was not his match.

Eventually, it was the Mystic Sect Goddess, the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden, who lent her aid, and together with the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, they finally defeated the Army Lord God Chiyou, dismembering him and suppressing him in various places on earth and in the heavens.

Indeed, even though the Army Lord God Chiyou was defeated, he did not fall but was instead sealed. Moreover, this so-called sealng may not necessarily be a calamity.

There’s a saying that there can be no construction without destruction; to break and then to establish. Being dismembered, the Army Lord God just might walk the path of breaking and then establishing, awaiting the reassembly of his body, he might just take a step further.

And that would be an opportunity, not a disaster.

Speaking of which, the Demon Clan possessed only about ten Quasi-Saints. From this perspective, the number of Quasi-Saint experts owned by the Human Race had already surpassed that of the Demon Clan.

After all, when adding up the Quasi-Saint experts from the Jiang Family and Ji Family, along with those who had already fallen, such as Da Yu and Emperor Qin, their number of Quasi-Saints exceeded ten.

But in reality, it was not so simple, as there were Quasi-Saints who had fallen within the Human Race, not to mention the Demon Clan. After countless years of war between the Witch and Demon two clans, many experts had perished, including many Quasi-Saint experts of the Demon Clan.

The ten great Quasi-Saints of the Demon Clan did not mean there were only ten Quasi-Saints in the clan, but rather that only ten Quasi-Saints remained after the others perished. According to the heritage memory of Emperor Xi, since the birth of the Demon Clan, there had been a total of thirty-six Quasi-Saints.

Even when the Demon Clan was at its most glorious, these thirty-six Quasi-Saints never appeared all at once; at their peak, the Demon Clan had only up to twenty-four Quasi-Saints dominating the Boundless Starry Sky.

The Demon Clan had thirty-six Quasi-Saints, but only ten legends have been passed down. The fate of the remaining twenty-six Quasi-Saints can be inferred.

They were slain by the Ancestral Witches, and like the Di Jun Taiyi, all traces of them were completely erased, with everything about them vanishing, leaving nothing behind.

Even with the power of Di Jun Taiyi, without the fall of the Ancestral Witches, it would be difficult to resurrect these Demon Clan Quasi-Saints.

The reason why the names of the ten great Demon Saints have been passed down to this day, without being erased, is that they were powerful enough, each one a Great Perfection Level Quasi-Saint expert, with their personal great laws imprinted within Heaven and Earth, coexisting with time, difficult to be erased by external forces.

It is certain that the number of Human Race’s Quasi-Saint experts has exceeded ten, but whether it surpasses twenty is a matter of debate. Moreover, most of these Quasi-Saints were mid to late-stage powerhouses, still some distance away from Great Perfection.

"There is still a significant gap between the Human Race’s strength and that of the Demon Clan," he silently calculated, especially after comparing it with the power of the Demon Clan recorded in the heritage of Emperor Xi. Even Jiang Chen had to admit that the current Human Race was indeed far weaker than the Demon Clan of the ancient times.

You see, the true foundation of the Demon Clan was not the ten great Quasi-Saints, but rather those three fearsomely powerful Great Divine Transcendents, along with those two supreme monarchs, Di Jun, who had already cultivated to the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, and Donghuang Taiyi.

It’s no exaggeration to say that even if the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors joined forces, they could only barely contend with Donghuang Taiyi.

One must know that back then, to deal with Donghuang Taiyi, the Witch Clan had to dispatch seven Ancestral Witches, who had to self-destruct to pull him along to death.

The strength of Taiyi was universally acknowledged as fearsome, with even Saints not being his match.

Donghuang Taiyi alone could deal with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, while Tiandi Di Jun was capable of contending with Empress Nuwa.

And the remaining experts of the Human Race were no match for the experts of the Demon Clan. Even if Emperor Xi was no longer with the Demon Clan, and Empress of Heaven Xihe had already undergone a transformation, the result would still be the same without the two Great Divine Transcendents; there would be no change.

"After all, the overarching environment has changed; today’s Heaven and Earth are not sufficient to compare with the Ancient Chaos of the past. Otherwise, with the Human Race donning the mantle of Heaven and Earth’s protagonist, powered by intense fate, and with might surpassing that of the Witch and Demon two clans, it would definitely be able to grow swiftly."
