Chapter 38 Once again protecting the human race, blessed by the strongest fortune!

"Three clan leaders, please don't rush, rest for a while."

Chen Jing infused each of the three human clan leaders with a beam of immortal light to stabilize their injuries.

"Who are you to interfere in the affairs of our demon race?"

At this moment, a powerful demon, a late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal, sternly questioned him.

In fact, Chen Jing's attack had already thrown him into a panic.

"Ugh, it's too noisy."

Chen Jing raised his right hand and put the iron rod back into his hand.

He then swung his staff again, unleashing a streak of black light that shot swiftly toward the great demon.

The great demon had not expected that even after revealing the name of the demon race, the Taoist would still attack without hesitation, and the fear in his heart grew stronger.

Faced with the iron rod that was shot at him, and sensing the terrifying aura contained within it, the great demon turned pale with fright.

He hurriedly mobilized all his magical power in an attempt to withstand this fatal blow.

However, the gap between a Taiyi Golden Immortal and a Daluo Golden Immortal was insurmountable for him. The mixed iron rod easily pierced through his protective aura and penetrated his body.

"what!"

A scream followed, the great demon's final words.

His primordial spirit was defeated by Chen Jing and completely dissipated.

Upon witnessing this scene, the demon clan members immediately scattered and fled for their lives.

Chen Jing was like the Grim Reaper, filling them with fear and making them unable to linger.

Wielding his iron cudgel, he chased after the fleeing demons, quickly defeating them one by one.

The three ancestors of the human race were shocked to see Chen Jingqian resolve the demon race so cleanly and efficiently.

After Chen Jing left last time, the human race, having obtained ample food, began to focus on cultivation.

They believed that if one could reach the realm of immortals, the human race would no longer be weak.

After tens of thousands of years of cultivation, they successfully reached the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

However, when the three clan leaders reunited with the immortal, they still could not fathom the immortal's true realm.

The three clan leaders sighed, saying that if they possessed the strength of immortals, the human race would not be suffering the current misery.

They shifted their gaze from Chen Jing to the fallen demon, feeling no sympathy whatsoever.

Having developed over 100,000 years, they deeply understand the cruel law of the primordial world: the survival of the fittest.

The three clan leaders felt no sympathy for the demon race that treated them as food; their eyes were filled only with deep hatred.

After defeating the demons, Chen Jing and the three clan leaders returned to the ancestral land of the human race.

Chen Jing learned along the way that the human race had grown to billions of people in the past tens of thousands of years.

Population growth has led many people to leave their hometowns, with the majority still concentrated along the East China Sea coast.

The climate here is suitable, making it ideal for human life.

When Chen Jing heard that the population had reached billions, he was also shocked. The human race's reproduction rate was indeed unmatched by any other race in the prehistoric world.

Humans have a ten-month gestation period and reach adulthood in just twenty years, at which point they can reproduce.

In contrast, other races in the prehistoric world not only faced greater difficulties in reproduction, but also experienced gestation periods of several years or even decades, and it took hundreds of years for them to reach adulthood after birth.

Therefore, the human race has multiplied for dozens of generations.

If it weren't for the fact that humans are inherently weak and have a high mortality rate, their population might already exceed 10 billion.

Chen Jing and the three ancestors of the human race traveled together and finally arrived at the Human Race Temple.

The three clan leaders decided that, given Chen Jing's two assistance to the human race, he should be welcomed with the most solemn ceremony in the temple this time.

These people learned that a celestial being had saved humanity from peril and vanquished the nasty demon race, protecting their homeland.

Humans know how to be grateful. Although they cannot repay this kindness now, they still welcome this savior with their benevolent self-light.

Chen Jing felt the goodwill of the human race and his heart was heavy.

Thinking of the impending disaster, the joy of having just ascended to the Great Luo Golden Immortal vanished instantly, and he desperately wanted to improve his strength.

The power of a Great Immortal could not withstand the impending disaster or protect the fragile human race.

Chen Jing's need for power became even more urgent.

The human temple is right in front of us.

Chen Jing gazed at the ancient temple, his mind filled with a thousand thoughts.

Humanity, starting from this point, has multiplied and thrived, experiencing countless hardships and obstacles before gradually gaining a foothold in the prehistoric world.

As he stepped through the threshold of the temple, a colossal dragon frolicked and soared within it; he knew this was a symbol of humanity's destiny.

However, this dragon of fortune has not yet reached its full potential; it is only a hundred feet long.

When the dragon saw Chen Jing, it curiously stretched its huge head toward him, a sight that no one had ever seen before.

The dragon head approached Chen Jing, startling him.

The three members of the Chao family beside Chen Jing were extremely shocked to witness the reaction of the dragon of fortune.

They had lived with the Dragon of Fortune in the Human Temple for decades, but the Dragon of Fortune had always been indifferent to them.

Now, the arrival of a cultivator from another race has attracted the attention of the Dragon of Fortune, and the three members of the Chao family were stunned on the spot.

After staring at Chen Jing for a few seconds, the enormous dragon head of the auspicious dragon took flight and then swam away joyfully.

Only then did the three members of the Chao family finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Not long after Chen Jing entered the Human Race Temple, he discovered the Platinum Treasure Chest and immediately pocketed it.

After carefully putting away the treasure chest, he didn't open it immediately. Instead, he asked the three clan leaders of the Chao clan, "How badly are you injured?"

"Thank you for your concern. Our injuries are not serious, and we will recover with some rest."

"This time, we humans were saved entirely because of you."

The three ancestors bowed respectfully to Chen Jing and said in unison.

After confirming that the three patriarchs were unharmed and that he had obtained the treasure chest, Chen Jing prepared to leave.

But before he could speak, a powerful aura rapidly approached the ancestral land of the human race.

Not only Chen Jing noticed this aura, but the three ancestors of the human race also sensed it.

Under this force, their injured bodies became even paler.

They were well aware of the power of this aura; compared to it, their previous demonic opponents were utterly insignificant.

The three clan leaders exchanged glances and immediately walked out of the human temple.

Seeing this, Chen Jing sighed, waved his hand, and said directly, "The three clan leaders are injured. It would be best if they stayed here to recuperate. I will handle the affairs outside."

Upon hearing Chen Jing's words, the three clan leaders stopped and turned to face him, their expressions showing difficulty.

They sensed the threat posed by that powerful force, and since Chen Jing had already saved them twice, they were not comfortable letting him go alone.

Chen Jing observed the three clan leaders' predicament and naturally understood their concerns, so he calmly said, "Rest assured, clan leaders, I can handle this."

Seeing Chen Jing's determined gaze, the Third Patriarch smiled wryly and stopped refusing.

They knew that even if they went out, they would only be defeated by the enemy; there was no other way out.

As the chieftains of the human race, they must shoulder their responsibilities.

When Chen Jing disappeared from sight, the Third Ancestor lost his will to cultivate and recover from his injuries, and could only pray for Chen Jing in the hall.

Chen Jing's divine sense detected the rapidly approaching figure the moment he appeared.

This is a member of the demon race at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

This Great Luo Golden Immortal demon was the leader of the demon race killed by Chen Jing. His name was Gu Feng, and he was a Bashe (a type of snake) who cultivated to the Dao.

"Which ignorant fool dares to kill my demon race's descendants?"

"Today, I will tear you to pieces to avenge my fallen people!"

Looking at the unprocessed demon corpses, the Ancient Wind Demon King was filled with rage.
