Rise of Humanity

  At the same time, the court ladies shouted, each unleashed their inner core, and a bright light lit up the skies above the Fiend Capital.

  Then, they all summoned their soul weapons!

  Zhong Yue, on the other hand, let out a battle cry, formed dangerous soundwaves from nowhere that hurt the ladies greatly, disrupting their blood essence and causing them to gasp heavily for breath, as if a hammer had just bashed down on them.

  The next moment, Ji Xiang Concubine was struck right on the head by Zhong Yue, the impact force from his punch shook her psyche ocean and smashed directly onto her Yuan Shen, knocking her out instantly!

  “What a hard head, she survived from my fist!” Zhong Yue praised her. Suddenly, he whirled around while arms grew out from his body. They punched out like lightning at the court ladies and smashed them away. they were all hit at the same time and were heavily injured.

  In mid-air, the court ladies were spurting blood and they looked like withering flowers, wretched and wilting.

  Zhong Yue then swung his hand at the blank air, the demonic Qi around him billowed out like dragons, grabbing all the court ladies back to him.

  Zhong Yue flowed back to the side of the frozen throne while his body reverted back to its usual form, and the court ladies were pushed into the throne by the demonic Qi.

  Meanwhile, Tian Mo Concubine slowly finished descending, Zhong Yue reached out his hand and gently caught her in his arms. He laughed and said, “My love, your sisters can now join upi in serving me.”

  Tian Mo Concubine wrapped her arms around his neck as she was carried like a princess in his arms. Her watery eyes were filled with affection and her slender finger was drawing circles on his chest, she mumbled softly, “Darling, you are so manly, I’m drowning in your chest…”

  A chill was instantly sent down his spine and he was immediately alerted. This demon lady’s words can only be trusted nine times out of ten, and one of ten sentences that mustn’t be trusted would be exactly what she just said.

  Behind them, Ji Xiang Concubine and the other court ladies were still spurting out blood inside the frozen throne.

  Chapter 334: Dance of the Sixteen Heavenly Demons |

  The Fiend Capital was in silence, the demon Qi Practitioners stared vacantly at the ice throne supported by the icy pillars in mid-air. The battle ended too quick, before they could even discuss the potential winner, the battle had ended.

  Logically speaking, in accordance with the common battles, they would first test out each other’s prowess before they went all out. The battle would be play out like an hours-long movie for the audience to enjoy and discuss before it came to an end, where the winner would finally defeat their enemies after a bone-rattling conflict!

  And yet, Mister Mo Luo won too quickly, defeating Ji Xiang Concubine and the court ladies in just the blink of an eye, inflicting heavy injuries on them, captured them, and threw them into his throne!

  Such prowess was unimaginably strong among the Inner Core Qi Practitioners!

  Furthermore, his two hundred and eighty foot tall Yuan Shen was just absolutely absurd, surpassing the limit as if it was non-existent!. It was rare for even Inner Core Qi Practitioners to have Yuan Shen that exceeded two hundred feet tall, and his was even eighty feet higher. It would only be odd if he couldn’t take down the ladies with such an appalling achievement!

  However, what was more appalling was his mortal body! Without using his inner core, soul weapons, or any skills, he had just rammed through the battlefield like a child’s playground and won the battle solely by the strength of his mortal body!

  Finishing off over twenty experts of the same level with sheer mortal body strength, clean and smooth without any difficulties! Even if some of the peak Inner Core Qi Practitioners could have done it, they admitted that they couldn’t have done it as easily as he had.

  “The nine demon gods!” An aged demon Qi Practitioner mumbled in shock, “This Mister Mo Luo has succeed in cultivating the nine demon gods! The demon phantoms behind him are exactly the shadows of the demon god seeds he has cultivated! There is finally another demon who has succeeded in the nine demon gods other than Demon Saint!”

  The【Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art】was incredibly dangerous to cultivate, succeeding in cultivating five demon gods would give one the potential to be a magnate, six demon gods was the potential to be a god. Candidates that could succeed in seven, eight, or even nine demon gods would only appear once every ten thousand years!

  Now, nine phantoms of the demon gods emerged behind Zhong Yue, clearly suggesting that he have cultivated nine demon god seeds!

  This was an achievement only Demon Saint had succeeded in before!

  Tian Mo Concubine was also in shock, the battle had ended too quick. Clearly, Zhong Yue’s prowess had increased greatly from when he was still in the Lesser Void World; a huge improvement, a giant leap!

  Zhong Yue have just received the【Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art】from her. Although it could increase his cultivation base, he wouldn’t be able to improve so much in just this short period; for him to have such prowess now, it means that he have gone through other incidents that granted him huge improvements!

  She even suspected that if Zhong Yue entered the Lesser Void World now, his rankings would also take a huge leap, and he might just be able to compete with that madman, Feng Xiaozhong!

  “My lovely darling, take out the boat and put your sisters inside it.” Zhong Yue stood up, and said while smiling, “We shall spend some time here in Fiend City, let’s see if Demon Saint will come out from his petty hiding spot.”

  Tian Mo Concubine obediently took out the boat and forcedJi Xiang Concubine and the twenty-some court ladies aboard. As Zhong Yue walked onto the boat, he witnessed Tian Mo Concubine taking out a violet gourd and removing twenty-some jade-colored tiny pellets.

  The pellets were the size of a fingernail, scented with a refreshing fragrance.

  Tian Mo Concubine then opened the mouth of a court lady and tucked the tiny pellet inside.

  The court lady’s beautiful countenance instantly changed, forcing herself to vomit so and spit the pellet out. Unfortunately, the tiny pellet immediately melted in her mouth and couldn’t be expelled.

  Tian Mo Concubine chuckled merrily as she moved from one court lady to another, feeding each court lady a pellet. The court ladies’ beautiful countenances turned pallid in fear and were very dejected.

  Ji Xiang Concubine struggled to stand up as she chided, “Tian Mo Concubine, how dare you! Aren’t you afraid of Demon Saint crushing you into ashes!?”

  “Crushing me into ashes?” Tian Mo Concubine held her happy expression as she said, “Sister, if you resist my pellet now, I will crush you into ashes first! The medicinal pellet is here, sister. Will you eat it yourself, or do you need my help?”

  Ji Xiang Concubine’s countenance was changing drastically. She looked at the tiny pellet and suddenly, she grit her teeth and ate it; she then sat down on the ground unhappily while she started remedying her injuries.

  Zhong Yue was curious, and asked, “Dear, this medicinal pellet is…?”

  “A medicinal Gu I’ve secretly nurtured. It looks like a medicinal pellet, but it's actually a Gu insect of the insect race, its name is Caress God Gu.”

  Tian Mo Concubine took one out and showed it to Zhong Yue, smiling as she presented the jade-white colored pellet to him, “Mister, please have a look.”

  She then gathered some blood from the wounds of a court lady and dripped it onto her palm. As the blood rained down onto the medicinal pellet, it suddenly changed, stretching out and turning into a tentaculos insect like acentipedes, growing larger with more blood.

  But what was weird was that this centipede had no true, physical form, it was only a shadow formed by the blood it sucked in.

  The bloody centipede fluttered its thousand legs and slowly rose into mid-air.

  The court ladies and Ji Xiang Concubine saw it and their faces turned even paler
, showing their fear and terror of it.

  “This is the Caress God Gu. When one consumes it, it will leech onto the Yuan Shen, siphoning the Yuan Shen’s essence to nurture itself. It cannot be removed and will stay with the Yuan Shen for the rest of one’s life.”

  Tian Mo Concubine was incredibly proud as she explained it all to him, smiling as she said, “The Caress God Gu has no true body, after it sticks to the Yuan Shen, it will became part of the Yuan Shen, it can’t be smited away nor taken down. The Caress God Gus are my soul weapons and they only listen to my command; when I want to, I can easily instruct my babies to eat away the Yuan Shen they are parasites on. Thus, the only option for one who is infected to not listen to my words is… death.”

  Zhong Yue turned stern as he listened to her. Such a peculiar vicious insect! The demons are really dangerous, there are so many skills that can kill without one even realizing! Also, the insect race was indeed a weapon created by the demon race against the celestials, it will be a huge problem if this Gu insect infects one’s Yuan Shen! Although we are allies now, I still have to be aware of her Gu insects, or otherwise I’ll be controlled by her if I’m infected by them.

  Suddenly, a narrow, vertical slit opened on his forehead, the eyelids opened and the divine third eye shot out a godly ray onto the Caress God Gu, —Zi-laa— The Caress God Gu was disintegrated and vanished into green smoke.

  Tian Mo Concubine was shocked,. Her Caress God Gu was designed specifically to use against the Yuan Shen. Because it had no true body, it couldn’t be smited away or taken down, so she had shown it to Zhong Yue, intending to threaten him and let him know her prowess.

  But little did she foresee that Zhong Yue could kill the Caress God Gu with just a ray from his third eye!

  Zhong Yue also heaved a breath of relief, thinking, Thankfully my Fuxi divine eye can take care of this Caress God Gu; even if Tian Mo Concubine infected me with it, I can still easily kill it.

  The boat alighted on the surface of that huge demonic river, the icy pillars and frozen throne slowly melted away and returned back to the river.

  On the sides of that river, the demon Qi Practitioners were looking at the boat; Tian Mo Concubine was nestled against the brawny Mister Mo Luo while nine court ladies were unwillingly playing the musical instruments behind them as Ji Xiang Concubine and the other court ladies danced to the music.

  The ladies of Ji Xiang Saint Clan were proficient in the arts of musics and dancing, they were the renowned goddesses of music among the demons. The dance they were performing was the most famous dance of the Ji Xiang Saint Clan — Dance of the Sixteen Heavenly Demons. It was a dance created for the gods, containing many steps and played with abstruse musics, and also including many sexually attractive postures to stir the passions of the gods.

  The Dance of the Sixteen Heavenly Demons presented by the Ji Xiang ladies was truly beautiful; their postures and dancing steps were solemn and yet sexually attractive, making Zhong Yue nearly unable to control his nature desires.

  The Dance of the Sixteen Heavenly Demons wasn’t a performance that ordinary demons could see, only the magnates of the demons were normally able to have the chance to enjoy such a performance. Now, the Qi Practitioners of the sides of the river were looking at the boat, but they could only see the ladies’ blouse sleeves waving in the air and hear the music. They couldn’t clearly see the full performance on the boat, making their hearts pound enviously.

  At the side of the river, a demon Qi Practitioner mumbled.“Two of Demon Saint’s concubines were taken away, along with twenty-some court ladies, and they are all dancing the Dance of the Sixteen Heavenly Demons for him, can Demon Saint withstand this?”

  “If Mister Mo Luo brings his concubines and court ladies around, Demon Saint will surely have no face to crown himself anymore, will he? So he will come, he will definitely come out to restore his honor!”

  “Not quite possible, Demon Saint possessed his disciple Yanluo Mo. He has to cultivate in closed door training so that he can attain full control over Yanluo Mo’s mortal body; otherwise, he will not be able to fully unleash his prowess. Also, I’ve heard that there are some magnates of the eight saint clans warning their disciples that worshipping Demon Saint’s spirit is fine, but he musnt be revived.”

  An old demon Qi Practitioner shook his head and said, “If Demon Saint is revived, he will be the only demon god, and his existence denotes that the eight saint clans will have to follow his words. So think about it, how would the higher-ups of the saint clans be willing to give up their power to him? Hence, Demon Saint will only come out when he has enough prowess to protect himself, which is when he has grasped full control of Yanluo Mo’s mortal body as his own.”

  “This Mister Mo Luo is really daring, snatching Demon Saint’s concubines and forced them to perform the Dance of the Sixteen Heavenly Demons for him, is he taking himself as the demon god or whatsoever?”

  “No matter how, Mister Mo Luo’s name will spread through the world. If the eight saint clans intend to take down Demon Saint, those higher-ups who only want Demon Saint to be an obedient demon spirit will secretly protect Mister Mo Luo from the ambushes of Demon Saint’s followers. Mister Mo Luo has truly made a good move, to do otherwise will only allow the followers of Demon Saint to exterminate him from Demon Saint’s path!”

  In the boat, Ji Xiang Concubine and the fifteen court ladies’ dancing steps were getting more rapid and the music was also getting faster; their dancing steps and some of the postures were getting more daring and risque, their bodies were nearly caressing one another and the one who ordered the dance, Zhong Yue, was praising their performance in his heart.

  This Dance of the Sixteen Heavenly Demons of the demon race is indeed the dance that can lure the gods, even I nearly can’t control myself.

  All of a sudden, loud laughter resounded above the boat, “Dance of the Sixteen Heavenly Demons is a performance that only the leaders of the races can watch. Mister Mo Luo is really lucky, I wonder if I could join and have the pleasure to watch it together with mister?”

  Zhong Yue stood up and looked over. A middle-aged man suffused in demonic clouds was striding forward, behind him was a thousand foot tall demon god with a thousand hands. He looked dominating and imposing.

  Zhong Yue looked sideways at Tian Mo Concubine and Tian Mo Concubine quickly whispered in his ears, “Asura’s Tu Jiang! You are right, the eight saint clan is sending their experts to get in touch with you, they are trying to use you to take down Demon Saint!”

  Chapter 335: Sun Chariot Engravings |

  Zhong Yue walked out of the boat’s cabin and was all smiles as he said, “Senior Martial Brother Tu Jiang, please!”

  Tu Jiang walked across the river and boarded the boat, he smiled in a very gentle manner, “Thank you, Mister Mo Luo. I never thought that I could actually have a look at the Dance of the Sixteen Heavenly Demons in my life. Mister Mo Luo is very lucky to have so many women.”

  Zhong Yue laughed and invited him to have a seat, “Senior Martial Brother Tu Jiang is overly praising me.”

  Tu Jiang sat down and enjoyed the dance, clapping and praising the dancers. This middle-aged man had four arms, his clappings were loud and rythymic, and yet, he never spoke of a word of his intentions.

  He didn’t say, and Zhong Yue didn’t ask.

  After some time, the dance had finally finished, Zhong Yue waved his hands, and Tian Mo Concubine immediately understood his meaning. She ordered Ji Xiang Concubine and the other court ladies to leave and rest.

  Light flashed across Tu Jiang’s eyes, he laughed softly and said, “Demon Saint selected many imperial concubines from the demon race. We of the Asura Saint Clan were unwilling to do so, but Demon Saint is too strong, we have no choice but to do as he said. But in fact, there are many higher-ups in the saint clans who raised their voices and opposed the revival of Demon Saint.”

  Zhong Yue nodded, he asked directly to the point, “So, the saint clans want to use me to kill Demo
n Saint?”

  Tu Jiang laughed, he said, “Demon Saint is the ancestor of the demon race, how will the Asura Saint Clan ever kill our own ancestor? That’s just what you’ve said, they are not my wods. But … the Asura Saint Clan can clear some obstacles along the way for mister.”

  Zhong Yue was intrigued, he asked, “What kind of obstacles do you mean?”

  Tu Jiang smiled gently, he said, “The saint clan can take care of the loyal followers of Demon Saint and get them out of your way. After all, Demon Saint is the common ancestor of the whole demon race, he still has quite a few loyal followers, including some of the stronger existences of the demon race.”

  Zhong Yue shook his head and said, “Too little, Senior Martial Brother Tu Jiang didn’t come in sincerity I see.”

  The smile on Tu Jiang’s face turned stern as he asked, “And what exactly is mister asking for?”

  Zhong Yue then called his price, “The saint lady of the Asura Saint Clan, I’ve admired her for a very long time, not a single day and night I’ve thought of her, and if a beauty like her is not sleeping by my side, I will never be able to have a good night’s sleep….”

  Tu Jiang declined right away, “Impossible! Mister, I suggest you ask for something else instead!”

  Zhong Yue frowned, he then said unwillingly, “If it’s not the saint lady, then I will have the【Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art】. I want the Asura Saint Clan’s【Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art】in the Asura Saint race, I need to know of Demon Saint’s cultivation techniques and his skills.”

  Tu Jiang’s eyelids thumped rapidly, Zhong Yue started off asking for the Asura Saint Clan’s saint lady and he declined straight up. If he declined Zhong Yue for the second time, it would be too overboard and he couldn’t help but think that Zhong Yue would suspect the sincerity of the Asura Saint Clan in forming an alliance.

  However, Asura Saint Clan’s【Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art】was the highest secret of their race, how could it ever be imparted to an outsider?
