768 Three Emperors’ Golden Blood (2)

As such, everyone had mortal bodies, and humans who could create tools had the advantage.

They cut down the forest and cultivated the land, reproducing and expanding over a long time.

The apocalypse lasted for at least a hundred thousand years.

The original small village might have already expanded into a kingdom.

Many powerful races of the human race had already disappeared in the long river of history, and the physique of the human race had deteriorated and become even weaker.

However, in terms of quantity, other than the original Prosperous Ox Continent, now, in the Nine Provinces in the world, the number of humans living in any other continent surpassed the total population of the four continents back then.

The quality had decreased, but the quantity had increased even more.

To mortals, it seemed to be a good thing that there were no Immortals or Gods.

Jiang Li squeezed his right hand. Now, he could not withstand the enhancement of the human race.

After walking for an unknown period of time, Jiang Li’s path finally widened, and he stepped into a stone room.

Whoosh~

The Human Fire in his hand suddenly rose explosively, causing Jiang Li to be shocked.

He hurriedly retracted his firepower and discovered that this stone room was filled with dense power of virtuous merit.

It was much more merit than what he had.

If he could obtain a portion of it, it would be completely enough for him to condense another Merit Golden Lotus.

Taking two steps forward, in the middle of the stone room, there was a stone brazier.

Jiang Li threw the Human Fire into it. He did not need to provide additional power of virtuous merit. Bright yellow flames rose and instantly illuminated the entire stone room.

What entered his sight were three golden bodies sitting cross-legged above.

Jiang Li only took a glance before taking three steps back. He was dizzy and could not stand steadily, and he almost fell to the ground.

He hurriedly lowered his eyes and bowed again before slowly recovering.

It was just like how when Jiang Li used the Human Emperor’s Battle Halberd to slash at the rebels of the human race, it had a restraining effect and its might was 70% greater.

As long as one was human, they would be suppressed by their bloodline in front of these three and could not unleash their full strength.

Unless one became the Human Emperor or abandoned his human identity and became a demon.

“Descendant Jiang Li of the human race greets the three Sacred Emperors!”

After waiting for a while, Jiang Li slowly raised his head.

He raised his eyes slightly and carefully looked at the three golden bodies above.

The three human Sacred Emperors were still sitting there perfectly fine.

The one on the left had leaves covering his shoulders, a tiger around his waist, a red face, thick lips, wide palms, and bare feet.

It was the Earth Emperor, Shennong.

The one on the right was wearing an emperor’s attire and holding a sword on the side. He had golden hair and long eyebrows.

This was the Heavenly Emperor, Xuanyuan.

The third was also the one in the middle. Although it was the Human Emperor, its appearance was different from ordinary humans.

It had a long head, two horns on its head, tortoise teeth, dragon lips, white hair, and a snake body and human head.

It was a demon and not a human, so it was undoubtedly the Human Emperor, Fuxi.

Apart from being motionless, the three Human Emperors did not even have any dust on their bodies. They looked no different from living people.

This was because they had the Fire Cloud Cave as protection. Moreover, the three of them were wrapped in dense human merit and providence to begin with, so their bodies were relatively intact.

If it was a mountain god with a long lifespan, it might have survived in such an environment.

However, that was not enough for the three of them to survive.

Perhaps they had left behind some remnant souls through some method.

However, if they wanted to reincarnate, the environment they needed was much higher than ordinary Immortals and Gods.

At the very least, it was impossible to revive now.

After bowing respectfully, the brazier in front of Jiang Li rose again.

At the bottom of the brazier, nine small jade cauldrons had appeared at some point in time.

These jade cauldrons were not artifacts with powerful might.

However, they were closely related to the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

The Human Emperor could control the nine cauldrons through them.

The mysterious power quickly made Jiang Li understand what he should do.

“So this is what the three emperors left for the humans.”

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment before taking out the Human Emperor’s Battle Halberd and drawing a deep wound on his wrist.

He placed the wrist on one of the jade cauldrons. Blood immediately flowed out and dripped into the small cauldron.

This cauldron looked small, but it had a lot of capacity.

It took a long time to fill it all up.

He placed a full jade cauldron into the brazier.

Then, Shennong’s golden body sitting on the left let out a slight tremble. An invisible force spread from the place where he sat to the brazier.

With the help of the Human Fire, the force gently surged into the jade cauldron and began to slowly transform the blood that Jiang Li bled.

Soon, his extraordinary blood turned into a noble purple-gold color.

Jiang Li looked up again.

As the modification of the blood was completed, the Earth Emperor Shennong’s golden body visibly dried up, and some cracks appeared on the surface.

It seemed that the three Sages of the Fire Cloud Cave had used their bodies as vessels to keep this portion of their strength until today.

The power in each golden body was only enough to help Jiang Li refine a continent’s cauldron.

If he refined all of them, the remaining eight small cauldrons would probably turn this golden body into powder.

Jiang Li picked up the purple-gold cauldron that had his own blood.

Without using appraisal, he already knew the use of this bowl of Human Emperor’s Blood.

After drinking this bowl of Human Emperor’s Blood, he would be able to obtain the recognition of one of the corresponding Nine Provinces Cauldrons and borrow the power of all the humans in that continent.

If he drank all the golden blood in the nine small cauldrons at the same time, he could directly become the Human Emperor!

Not only did it have powerful might, but it could also directly borrow the power of the people of the world to kill gods and Buddhas!

It was no longer like now, where he could only use the Human Emperor’s Battle Halberd indirectly.

However, there was another problem. The effect of the golden blood in each cauldron could only last for three days.

When the Human Emperor’s Golden Blood was exhausted, he would lose the power of the Human Emperor.

Jiang Ziya was right. The bloodline of the Human Emperor had been severed.

After the ancient Divine Investiture Battle, there had been no new Human Emperor for so many years. Now, the three Sages of the Fire Cloud Cave were already dead, so how could they pass on the Human Emperor’s position to others?

In the Fire Cloud Cave, there was indeed no way to truly become the Human Emperor forever.

After experiencing the long Cultivationless Age, the power left behind by the three Human Emperors could only modify three cauldrons of Golden Blood each.

It could support the complete transformation of the Human Emperor once and temporarily borrow the power of a continent’s human race nine times.

The exact power borrowed depended on the number of humans living on that continent.

The reason why the three emperors left these behind was to help the human race survive some huge difficulties.

This was already the last thing they could do for their descendants.

Fortunately, they met an excellent successor of the Human Emperor.

This protection that crossed space and time would be thousands of times more valuable in his hands.

Jiang Li had expected this. He was not disappointed, and he revealed a satisfied smile instead.

The Human Emperor’s position was affected by the power of heaven and earth, but it would also be suppressed by heaven and earth.

If there was another Cultivationless Age, this Dao status would become the most dangerous knife and stab him from behind.

The golden blood did not bring with it such worries. It was suitable for him.

In fact, Jiang Li was already very satisfied with the Human Emperor’s gift of empowerment for a few seconds.

He continued to cut his wrist and filled the nine jade cauldrons.

He used the power of the Heavenly Emperor and the Human Emperor to completely refine the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

At this point, Jiang Li had finally achieved one of his ultimate goals.

The Human Emperor’s inheritance was already in his hands.

However, Jiang Li did not directly drink the golden blood to transform into the Human Emperor.

This was because his current body was still too weak.

Previously, when he used the Human Emperor’s Battle Halberd and borrowed the power of the Eastern Region of the Azure Cloud Continent and the humans of the Prosperous Ox Continent, he had almost crippled an arm.

If he borrowed too much power at once, his body would explode.

At the very least, he had to become an Earth Immortal first.
