Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  Tian Myriad Mother approached Qiu Jin’er, but when she tried to possess her, countless shining sword rays flew out, forcing Tian Myriad Mother to back off while inflicting damage on her.

  Meanwhile, darkness engulfed Zhong Yue and when he slowly closed his eyes, he murmured, “Xin Huo, I’ll leave things to you, then…”

  Right after he closed his eyes, they opened up again. Except this time, bright rays shot out from his eyes and his voice suddenly changed into someone else’s. Unlike Zhong Yue’s voice, this voice was incredibly wild and arrogant.

  “Little brat, handing over your body to me in such poor condition. Hahahaha, as I thought, only someone almighty like me is the most reliable one!”

  Although covered in blood, Zhong Yue’s aura turned more and more wild. He laughed as he said, “Arise, the ancient yet strongest bloodline! Unbind yourself from the seals and rise once again, overwhelm the gods and demons with fear, and let them see the true power of a real god! Know despair! Hahahaha…!”

  Chapter 265: God Banishment Seal |

  The spacious surroundings of Seal Suppression Hall suddenly became very quiet, leaving only the laughter of Zhong Yue. Even Feng Xiaozhong shut his mouth as he listened to the wild and arrogant laughter.

  On the other walls, the huge eyes remained, staring at Zhong Yue. Tian Myriad Mother, who had been repelled by the Sword Qi, also stopped and looked at Zhong Yue.

  All they saw was Zhong Yue standing there covered in blood, but unbelievable changes were occuring on his body. Dragon scales emerged from his body and stacked together, covering his injuries.

  His legs then merged and turned into a long snake tail, with various unique totem carvings all over him, forming special pictures that seemed to have mysterious power in them.

  His head also changed into a dragon’s head, and a divine third eye appeared on his forehead.

  This time, it was not just the Fuxi true form, but the true form of Sui Sovereign! Xin Huo merged Zhong Yue’s body with the Sui Sovereign Yuan Shen!

  After achieving the Atman Body level, he could execute Atman Body As One. He possessed two spirits, the sun and moon spirits, but he had another spirit, as well! This other spirit was the Sui Sovereign Yuan Shen, which was the result of Zhong Yue merging his Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen and his Starry Moon Toad Yuan Shen!

  Back then, in the Northern Sea ice continent, when Xin Huo breached the Red Mother Colonial Anemone Array, he had also used the Sui Sovereign Yuan Shen. But at that time, Zhong Yue had yet to achieve the Atman Body As One.

  And now, Xin Huo could finally use the Sui Sovereign!

  Right now, Zhong Yue gave off an entirely different aura, one that was incredibly majestic, holy, and powerful, a whole level stronger than any other celestial race!

  And he looked so proud now, the celestial races out there were not even fit to lick his shoes at all.

  “Mo…Monster…” Tian Myriad Mother was stunned. She looked blankly at Zhong Yue as she said, “You are a monster?”

  She was now in the form of a spirit without a proper body, allowing her to quickly recover her wounds even after she was hurt by the Golden Feathery Peng Sword.

  The sword might be able to stop her from possessing Qiu Jin’er, but it could not stop her from capturing the young woman.

  However, Zhong Yue’s changes really did give her a scare. She said, “I have long suspected that you are a demon god’s reincarnation, and finally, you show your true form! What kind of a demon god are you?”

  The prisoner Feng Xiaozhong suddenly got excited,madness filled up in his eyes as he shouted, “What is this? A third eye? It looks like the eye of the first headmaster of Swords Gate! Too bad my father prohibited me from touching the body of the first headmaster…!”

  Zhong Yue’s changes were incredibly interesting and extremely mysterious, which made the madman Feng Xiaozhong go crazy about it!

  “I really want to capture him and research him to see why he became something so strange like that…!”

  After changing into this form, Zhong Yue also gave Qiu Jin’er a scare. The pretty girl stared at Zhong Yue dumbfounded, she had no idea what to do.

  When Xin Huo took over Zhong Yue’s body, he changed not only Zhong Yue’s physical appearance, but turned him temporarily into the Fuxi Celestial Race, then merged his temporary Fuxi Celestial Race body with the Sui Sovereign Yuan Shen, shifting him into the Sui Sovereign form!

  With that, he possessed the innate power of the two great celestial races, bestowing his body with incredible might, and enhancing his power!

  “Just a puny demonic spirit…” Xin Huo looked at Tian Myriad Mother as Zhong Yue’s body grew even larger, but he was still much smaller than Tian Myriad Mother. “You dare to act so high up and almighty in front of me, the most majestic existence in the world?” laughed and mocked Xin Huo as he pointed at Tian Myriad Mother.

  Between the insults of Xin Huo and Zhong Yue destroying her two bodies, hatred engulfed Tian Myriad Mother. She raised her hand and slammed towards Xin Huo at extreme speed!

  Xin Huo, on the other hand, swayed to the side and evaded her attack with little effort. He then reached the side of Qiu Jin’er and dragged her up onto his back as he said, “Little girl, stay on my back and stand firm! You are little brat Yue’s darling, so I cannot let anything harm you!”

  As she was thrown onto Zhong Yue’s back, she hugged onto his body tightly as her heart thumped quickly. She thought, How come senior martial brother became so strange-looking….

  Without achieving Atman Body As One, her body was still small compared to the currently huge body of Zhong Yue, only the size of a scale. With that, Xin Huo felt nothing at all when he carried her on his back.

  Meanwhile, Tian Myriad Mother charged towards them, wailing nonstop and casting all sorts of skills towards Xin Huo.

  Qiu Jin’er quickly removed the Golden Feathery Peng Sword from her forehead and tossesd it forward towards Xin Huo while she said, “Senior martial brother, the sword!”

  Xin Huo however, softly flicked the sword with one of his floating braids, returning the sword back to the forehead of Qiu Jin’er.

  Xin Huo refused to take the sword back. The Golden Feathery Peng Sword was nourished with the psyche and soul of Zhong Yue, and with him unconscious right now, Xin Huo could not use the sword at all. Thus, it was better that he not use it at all.

  “Competing with me on the aspect of techniques and skills?” Xin Huo moved around quickly, dodging the attacks of Tian Myriad Mother. He retaliated with extremely strong techniques and skills! The two were using way different skills and techniques. Tian Myriad Mother’s were all demonic ones, while the ones Xin Huo used were godly ones. However, there was something they had in common, and that was the techniques and skills the two used were all at the godly level.

  Tian Myriad Mother felt happy and she thought, He stopped using the sword and is trying to fight me with skills and techniques? He must be out of his mind!

  Previously, she had to keep on dodging the attacks of the Golden Feathery Peng Sword, which in turn stopped her from casting skills and spells. But now, everything suddenly went well for her as Xin Huo stopped using the Golden Feathery Peng Sword!

  With her full strength unleashed, it would be extremely easy for her to kill a puny Atman Body level Qi Practitioner!

  In the next moment, the difference in power between the skills of both side could be seen clearly.

  To Tian Myriad Mother’s shock and dismay, her skills were all countered by Xin Huo’s skills. She quickly cast even more skills and techniques towards Xin Huo.

  As the battle progressed, the more Tian Myriad Mother felt shocked. All of her attacks were overwhelmed by Xin Huo easily, and none of her defenses could last more than a second against the attacks of Xin Huo!

  Then, the pace of the battle increased, everything started to get blurry to her, and she could no longer attack. All she could was doing was fending off the attacks of Xin Huo when she suddenly shouted
in pain and fear. She was hit by one his attacks, and felt like her soul was torn apart!

  The attacks of Xin Huo were skills and techniques that could directly harm souls!

  After receiving that hit, her mind went blank. When she saw “Zhong Yue” launch even more attacks, she trembled in fear and despair as she sensed imminent doom, and quickly tried to flee!

  “Run? Who said you could walk away just like that!?” Xin Huo raised his hands and moved them in a mysterious pattern, forming an ancient looking “Ding”, “Qu” and “Fen” word in the air, which then merged together and formed another unique letter.

  “【God Banishment Seal】!” Xin Huo shouted. The fleeing Tian Myriad Mother suddenly felt everything became heavy, as if there were countless mountains crushing down on her.

  Suddenly, she felt everything return to normal. She then quickly leapt into the air and flew away quickly.

  Scary… Such a scary existence, he is definitely not Zhong Yue, but an ancient almighty god or demon! Luckily, I am not that bad so he could not kill me….

  She felt relieved and turned around, only to see a horrifying scene that gave her the shock of her life!

  She saw herself!

  She saw another Tian Myriad Mother standing in front of “Zhong Yue” obediently, not moving even a single inch!

  I got bound over there? Then who is this over here?

  What happened was because of the【God Banishment Seal】used by Xin Huo, which separated her spirit and soul!

  The reason why Yuan Shen were so strong was because of the combination of soul and spirit, which formed the atman. When the soul and spirit merged together and formed into the atman, a Yuan Shen was born that possessed powerful strength. After becoming a god, the soul and spirit would be inseparable no matter what.

  And now, her soul and spirit were separated! This was most terrible thing Tian Myriad Mother has ever came across, and now, she had personally experienced it!

  Without the protection of her spirit, her soul started to fade away. In an instant, she was on the verge of disappearing.

  What are you and who are you…?

  Her soul could no longer say anything, and could only fly towards her spirit weakly.

  Xin Huo ignored her as he measured Tian Myriad Mother. Just before he was about to kill her, Zhong Yue’s voice could suddenly be heard, saying, “Xin Huo, spare the spirit of this demonic god.”

  “Spare the spirit?” Xin Huo was slightly stunned and reached his hand out, grabbing the soul of Tian Myriad Mother and destroying it, leaving only her spirit.

  “Spare her spirit as I have a use for it. I want to seal her spirit here to bait the god’s messenger here!” Zhong Yue explained.

  Xin Huo nodded. At the same time, the energy in Zhong Yue’s bloodline depleted, and Xin Huo could no longer maintain the true form of Sui Sovereign. With that, Zhong Yue’s body reverted back into his normal state quickly.

  What a shame, his bloodline is still not pure enough….

  Xin Huo sighed as the girl on his back got down quickly. She looked at Zhong Yue in a daze and asked, “Is this really you, senior martial brother?”

  “My beloved…” Xin Huo turned around and said emotionally, “I am actually the reincarnation of a Heavenly Monarch that came to look for my love for the past nine lives, which is you. My love, let us not wait and continue to… Damn it, brat Yue. Stop disturbing me again…”

  Zhong Yue’s conciousness recovered and quickly reclaimed control of his body from the little flame man.

  Chapter 266: The Perilous Golden Summit |

  Xin Huo little flame form jumped about inside of Zhong Yue's psyche ocean in discontent at the fact that he was stripped of his control of Zhong Yue's body.

  The little flame placed the matter of the continuation of the Fuxi Celestial Race high in his heart. He was determined to nurture the next pureblood celestial progeny as the inheritor of the heritage he held. He was dissatisfied with Zhong Yue's impure and lackluster bloodline, always hoping that Zhong Yue would be able to produce a pureblood Fuxi among his descendants.

  "You of the Zhong Shan Clan, I hate you!"

  The little flame threw a final tantrum before sequestering himself to the darkest corner of Zhong Yue's psyche ocean to sulk by himself.

  “Xin Huo….”

  "Nevermind me. I'm angry now!"

  Zhong Yue couldn't help but laugh at Xin Huo's immaturity before he had a violent coughing fit; he knew that his injuries were too heavy. The demonic Qi and demonic aura severely impacted his mortal body and Yuan Shen. He was at death's door right now, and his situation would only deteriorate if his condition were not taken care of.

  Xin Huo entered his body and stimulated the Fuxi celestial blood to coalesce his mortal body with the Sui Sovereign Yuan Shen to form the Sui Sovereign body. As such, Xin Huo had forcibly suppressed the wounds in his body to preserve his life.

  But as the Fuxi body dispersed away, the wounds on his body erupted out, and was even showing signs of worsening!

  The demonic Qi corroded his flesh, his skin withered pulverized, his blood vaporized, and his meat was nearly crushed by the demonic aura — all in all, he was already half a step away from death!

  When Zhong Yue crushed away Tian Myriad Mother's previous life mortal body, he was in the state of [Atman Body as One], which meant that the condition of his Yuan Shen would be the same as the condition of his mortal body!

  And his mortal body right now was in dire straits; his wounds were no longer able to be suppressed, and the same applied to the wounds of his Yuan Shen!

  Not only that, when he was facing Tian Myriad Mother's previous incarnation. The demonic Qi and aura had already penetrated into his body, these demonic Qi and auras weren't something so easily eradicated. As long as they remained in his body, his wounds would only continue to worsen!

  “Five secret realms, open!”

  Zhong Yue struggled to pull himself up to sit in the lotus position. He opened up all five of his secret realms. Immediately, Yu Zheng's tremendous life force and life energy that were stored in his secret realm surged out, flooding every corner of his body and Yuan Shen, healing everything it passed by in the process.

  His muscles stopped rotting, and rejuvenated flesh began to grow under the life energy and force's stimulation. New blood flushed out the old and dead blood, and the fractured bones melded together to become whole once again.

  At the same time, his Yuan Shen was also healing itself with the aid of the life force and life energy. Now able to suppress his wounds, the healing continued to accelerate as time continued to pass.

  Yu Zheng was really strong as a cultivator who had cultivated the Immortal Body; his life force and life energy are so strong! If I didn't go to Yu Zheng's palace acquire his life force and energy, I would've died by now.

  After a long time, the wounds in his mortal body and Yuan Shen had been suppressed, but the demonic Qi and aura were not as easy to deal with. Zhong Yue knew that the wounds could worsen and erupt again.

  How strong was Tian Myriad Mother? She was already a demon god in her previous life, her demonic Qi and demonic aura were at the level of the gods. Even if the amount of demonic Qi and aura in Zhong Yue's body was not that much, it was still sufficient enough to threaten his life.

  He enveloped the demonic Qi and aura with the life force and energy, gathering it together in his psyche ocean. As of now, he was still at a loss on how to deal with it.

  The demonic Qi and aura were like a patch of gray sky that was overcast over his psyche ocean. It placed a vague suppression on his psyche. He felt as if there were a mountain pressing down on his psyche ocean, grinding away at his mind and his power.

  "Xin Huo, how do I remove the demonic Qi and aura away?" Zhong Yue asked Xin Huo, who sat in a corner.

  "Don't talk to me, I'm still angry!" The only thing Zhone Yue got was a view of Xin Huo's back while he replied in disgruntlement.

  “Uh….”

  Zhong Yue scrat
ched his head and was helpless against the little flame. He shifted his concentration out of the psyche ocean. He opened his eyes and saw a pair of beautiful eyes filled with worry and consternation as Qiu Jin'er stared at him in concern.

  "Senior martial brother, your wounds…." Qiu Jin'er saw him wake up as she quickly asked.

  Zhong Yue replied laughingly, "It's fine now, just some hidden dangers leftover by the demonic Qi and aura lurking in my body. Junior martial sister, are you injured?"

  Qiu Jin'er shook her head, she stammered and was too embarrassed to voice her question. Her heart undulated violently, and her heartstrings felt entangled among themselves.

  Senior martial sister, you said that I’m your lover for the nine lifetimes, is that true?

  Her heart thumped as if a little deer was hopping around in it. Her imagination ran wild, but she was too ashamed to voice what was on her mind, only being able to think to herself, Have you really searched for me for nine lifetimes? You said that I was your lover and you were a Heavenly Monarch. Did we really love one another for the past nine lifetimes, just how many trials have we been through together?

  One after another, she began imagining all sorts of wild stories in her mind, some were somber, and some were exciting and intense … her little face blushed red with embarrassment, and her heart melted like ice in the sun.

  One had to be honest, Xin Huo's words had too strong an impact on a young and naive girl such as herself. This caused her heart to palpitate in agitated emotion.

  However, Zhong Yue didn't think too much and just said, "Junior martial sister, this time it's really dangerous, I'm sorry for dragging you over, but if I didn't, Tian Myriad Mother wouldn't have followed us in. I apologize for dragging you into this matter."

  Qiu Jin'er recollected her thoughts, and she forcibly pressed down her feelings. She cast her gaze at the Tian Myriad Mother's spirit and said, "Senior martial brother, what do we do now? Tian Myriad Mother is dead, and Junior Martial Sister Shui will not come back to life either. But she is after all the deputy hall master of the Seal Suppression Hall; her death is not a small thing, we won't be able to keep hiding it for long. Should we inform the elder council?"
