Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  Somewhere far away, an Asura Qi Practitioner screeched, summoned his soul weapon, an iron fan, and he grabbed the iron fan with his four arms. Then, using his inner core to grant him power, he swung the fan strongly, created a strong dark wind containing demonic flame. Together with the flame, the dark wind surged towards Zhong Yue mercilessly.

  Zhong Yue however, inhaled so strongly that the area around him became a vacuum, leaving no air at all, and the demonic wind and flame was absorbed into Zhong Yue’s body.

  Upon seeing this, the Asura Qi Practitioner lost his wits and was in a complete panic. He had no idea what he was supposed to do at that moment. Then, he saw Zhong Yue blow the demonic flame-wind back towards him. The demonic flame within the wind burned stronger and stronger as it slowly spread out, before it devoured the Qi Practitioner with the iron fan.

  When the flame stopped burning, the Asura Qi Practitioner let out a shout as his iron fan had melted into liquid, his clothes had disappeared, and there was no more hair on his body. Embarrassment overwhelmed him and he quickly ran away as he covered his private parts.

  An Asura woman charged towards Zhong Yue with swords in her four arms, immediately raining down attacks onto Zhong Yue.

  Dang dang dang——-

  In just an instant, loud sword-clashing noises sounded out. When the woman stopped attacking, she felt only numbness in her hands. When she looked at her weapons, she was incredibly shaken when she saw her weapons were on the verge of shattering.

  Before she recovered from her shock, Zhong Yue softly knocked on her chest. As his shoulder came in contact with her chest, he broke her bones, causing her originally well-developed chest to sink greatly, and the lady fell to the ground unconscious.

  “Stop!”

  Elder Tu Jiang who just finished processing the overwhelming details of the battle between Zhong Yue and Saint Concubine had goosebumps as he witnessed this scene where the elites of the Asura Saint Clan were all beaten by Zhong Yue easily, and he quickly shouted, “Stop at once!”

  Zhong Yue immediately stopped, but to Elder Tu Jiang’s dismay, the Asura Saint Clan’s disciples did not heed his words and they continued charging towards Zhong Yue. Without any options left but to defend himself, Zhong Yue immediately cast the Asura Saint Clan’s art and two more arms stretched out from his chest. With his four hands, he formed the Demon Crow Heavenly Wings Seal, Great Sun Heavenly Demon Seal, Heavenly Demon Sun Radiation Seal, and Heavenly Demon Fearless Seal as he bombarded the surroundings with powerful energy attacks.

  As his energy attacks landed in the area, the disciples of Asura Saint Clan flew up into the sky with twisted limbs while blood splashed everywhere before they fell back onto the ground.

  Upon seeing this, Elder Tu Jiang was disquieted as he thought Zhong Yue had killed the disciples. He quickly summoned his inner core, and a huge hand stretched out from it towards Zhong Yue as he shouted, “Mister Mo Luo, mercy!”

  Zhong Yue put up a very serious expression as his four arms swung everywhere, launching energy attacks towards Elder Tu Jiang that shook the saint mountain, causing the rocks to tumble down the mountain. Under his feet, a hole with a ten-meter diameter appeared as he stomped on the ground.

  Even so, the two new arms he formed with his immortal body were crushed into meatballs when he directly received the attack from Elder Tu Jiang.

  However, his immortal body was so strong that the two arms that were destroyed cost him nothing and he was barely even affected by it.

  Far away, Saint Concubine’s heart thumped quickly, but she remained silent.

  Zhong Yue then exhaled a long deep breath as he laughed and said, “Senior martial brother Tu Jiang, you are too nervous, I of course considered properly when I attacked them. I merely paralyzed them by injuring them, not killing them, yet your attack almost cost me my life.”

  Elder Tu Jiang, on the other hand, regretted attacking Zhong Yue, and was incredibly startled and shocked when he saw Zhong Yue receiving his attack with ease. He quickly replied, “Don't blame me, Mister! I was worried about the disciples of my clan, so please forgive me for my rudeness! Mister, are you a Sun Innate Spirit Body? How did you manage to learn the【Great Sun Heavenly Demon Art】of our clan?”

  Zhong Yue however, laughed and ignored his question by saying, “Elder Tu Jiang, everyone has their own secrets. Please forgive me not telling you about this.”

  Elder Tu Jiang frowned slightly before he laughed and said, “Fair enough! Mister Mo Luo is indeed a genius that has the bravery to challenge the Demon Saint! Your strength is no weaker than mine! Please, this way, Mister.”

  “Please!” replied Zhong Yue affably.

  Then, the two walked away together. Zhong Yue asked, “Any news about the Demon Saint?”

  Elder Tu Jiang shook his head and replied, “Not yet, it is not easy for the Demon Saint to completely get used to Yanluo Mo’s body, and besides, he needs to cultivate the【Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art】to return to his peak state. Don’t worry, I will notify Mister as soon as we receive news about him.”

  Zhong Yue felt relieved and said, “After observing my strength, what do you think about my strength, as compared to the Demon Saint?”

  Elder Tu Jiang immediately replied, “Hahaha, Mister, your strength is unbelievable, you will definitely kill the Dmon Saint and replace him as the new Demon Saint!”

  Zhong Yue also laughed and pretended to be very proud and arrogant while his heart tightened.

  When Elder Tu Jiang walked Zhong Yue back to his room, he said, “Pardon me, Mister. There was too much ruckus caused this time, I have to go now to settle things down to prevent unnecessary problems.”

  Zhong Yue thanked him and when he sent Elder Tu Jiang off with his eyes, he went to Tian Mo and Ji Xiang Concubine and said quickly. “We have to go now! We need to leave Asura Saint Clan right now!”

  The two ladies were startled and they asked, “What happened?”

  “I fought with the disciples of Asura Saint Clan and injured many of them. Tu Jiang tried to stop me and forced me to use my full strength. Although it was only one hit, I used my true strength when I fended off his attack.”

  Zhong Yue said seriously, “Saint Concubine is very sensitive and I might not be able to hide my strength from her.”

  Ji Xiang Concubine was very confused but Tian Mo Concubine was shocked. She quickly summoned the court ladies and ordered, “We will leave at once! Saint Concubine is extremely strong, especially her eyes. Her eyes are the Asura God Eye and if you used your full strength, she will definitely see through you! How did you get into a fight with her?”

  Tian Mo Concubine quickly ordered the court ladies as Zhong Yue replied, “I beat her up.”

  Tian Mo Concubine’s expression froze on her face and then, along with Ji Xiang Concubine, the two young ladies laughed happily while Ji Xiang Concubine said, “Well done! She is very arrogant and she did not even look at us when the Demon Saint selected her as his concubine. We too, have been very unhappy with her for some time!”

  Zhong Yue then thought to himself, These demon ladies are always fighting with each other, how did the Demon Saint manage to settle the troubles caused by these ladies? Whatever, I will help you carry some of your burden from now on….

  In a short time, everything was prepared fully and they quickly headed towards the city gates of the Asura Saint City.

  At the same time, Tu Jiang was reporting to the other elders about how Zhong Yue cultivated the 【Great Sun Heavenly Demon Art】and said, “Mister Mo Luo might be a Sun Innate Spirit Body, or he would not have been able to pass through the demonic flame and board the Sun Chariot.”

  The clan master of the Asura Saint Clan then asked, “Sun Innate Spirit Body? I thought there was only one Sun Innate Spirit Body in this world right now and the person is a human called Zhong Yue from the Great Wilderness. Mister Mo Luo is definitely not human, and humans will probably not try to learn any demonic art. Even if they did, they will have only a sl
im chance to learn our art completely.”

  An elder then suddenly said, “But clan master, do you remember that man that cultivated our demons’ art and even achieved a very high level?”

  The clan master’s heart thumped and he lost his voice for a moment before he replied, “Feng Xiaozhong of the human race?”

  “Both Zhong Yue and Feng Xiaozhong came from Swords Gate, and if Feng Xiaozhong managed to do it, so can Zhong Yue!”

  The elder said determinedly, “From my point of view, be it Mister Mo Luo or Zhong Yue, we must still kill him! If he managed to receive senior martial brother Tu Jiang’s all out attack with ease, he will definitely rise as another Demon Saint if he is not stopped! How dare he beat up our Saint Concubine and our disciples!”

  The clan master then looked at Tu Jiang who quickly replied, “Long ago I planned to kill Mister Mo Luo, but first of all, we must kill the Demon Saint!”

  The elder then smirked and said, “The Demon Saint is a threat to us and so is Mister Mo Luo! The Demon Saint is still a demon, and if Mister Mo Luo is a human, then things would turn sour quickly!”

  The two of them then argued with each other, giving the clan master a major headache and at the same time, Saint Concubine walked in and the clan master quickly said, “Stop fighting with each other! Saint Concubine, you fought with Mister Mo Luo previously, so did you manage to identify anything about him? If he is a human, I will kill him myself! If he is not a human, I will kill him after he kills the Demon Saint!”

  Chapter 340: Kindness and Severity |

  Saint Concubine was incredibly beautiful, just like the goddess of the Asura Saint Clan, a peerless beauty. And yet, right now, the goddess whose face was covered by the scarf was looking very miserable, as her eyes were swollen. She was shaking her head and said, “Clan Master, you insisted on selecting me as Demon Saint’s concubine, and yet now you are trying to kill him. Have you ever thought of what I will become after Demon Saint is killed? What will I do when I’ve become a widow then?”

  Clan Master was ashamed and replied, “Although you have the title of a concubine, it is just a title, you aren’t married to him yet. After Demon Saint’s death, I will find you a good husband and you will not be swept aside or abandoned. Now the key is, this Mister Mo Luo and Tu Jiang’s clash definitely forced him to unleash his true strength. During this clash, could you see what he is? If he is really the human’s Zhong Yue, he will not be left walking freely and shall be killed dead on the spot, right here, right now!”

  Saint Concubine was placid as she answered, “My eyes were sealed by him, how do I look?”

  Sain leader’s heart was in pain at Saint Concubine’s injuries, he said angrily, “This brat, how dare he injure our race’s saint lady, moreso in the saint palace of our Asura Saint Clan. Whether or not he is the human Zhong Yue, we will have to teach him an unforgettable lesson! Don’t you worry, I will take care of him!”

  Saint Concubine, in turn, was nonchalant about it, she shook her head and said, “I’m the one that asked for it, I needed to know whether he was capable of taking down Demon Saint. But after my defeat and I still ask the leader to teach him a lesson, this will prove nothing but our own shamelessness.”

  Clan Master was ashamed, he smiled and said, “Seems like I have acted childish for a moment here.”

  Tu Jiang then quickly said, “Since even Saint Concubine couldn’t see through him, then I think it’s best we leave him untouched, for now. We will only act after his battle with Demon Saint, what does the Clan Master say?”

  “Tu Jiang, I know what you mean; you want to take down Demon Saint with his hands. But have you thought about who exactly Demon Saint is, and what means this Mister Mo Luo has that gives you the confidence he can defeat Demon Saint?”

  Clan Master continued in a casual manner, “What I ask from him is that he will be able to impair Demon Saint severely; that will be enough for us to furtively unleash the final blow on Demon Saint. Furthermore, this Mister Mo Luo has injured our saint lady, shamed our Asura disciples, and he did it in our most holy place, the heavenly demon god’s palace! His existence is an utter disgrace to the Asura Saint Clan! He will have to be taught a lesson, he will learn not to tamper with the wrong targets! Tu Geer, this Mister Mo Luo is a sly and cunning brat, he has hastily left our saint city thinking that we will harm him. And indeed, we will... chase him and teach him his lesson!”

  Tu Geer was the elder that had argued with Tu Jiang, he was overjoyed to receive the order and he answered merrily, “Yes, my Clan Master!”

  Tu Jiang was hesitating while Clan Master laughed and said, “Don’t worry, Tu Geer will not kill him, he will only be taught a lesson that whatever he has done comes with a price. Saint lady, do you want to take a look and see if you can see through his flaws.”

  Saint Concubine shook her head and said, “There is no need for that, my injuries are more important. Clan Master, excuse me for now.”

  Clan Master nodded, “Don’t worry, the talents in demon race are uncountable. After Demon Saint’s death, I will surely be able to find you a good man.”

  Saint Concubine then left.

  Clan Master heaved a breath of relief, and said, “Tu Geer, teach Mister Mo Luo a lesson, but do not kill him. Understand?”

  Tu Geer smiled and answered, “The Clan Master may rest assured!”

  Clan Master then said, “Tu Jiang, after Tu Geer leaves, you will follow behind a quarter of an hour later and stop Tu Geer. Let Mister Mo Luo have a taste of Tu Geer’s strength first, then you will stop them He is still of good use to our Saint Clan, it is not time to make him our enemy yet. We shall employ both kindness and severity to him; Tu Geer will show him our strength and you, Tu Jiang, will show him our generosity. He will learn to fear our Saint Clan and be grateful at the same time that we show kindness to his petty life.”

  Tu Jiang expressed his admiration to the Clan Master, as he said, “The Clan Master is wise!”

  The Clan Master laughed out loud. “You may leave now to execute my orders!”

  Tu Geer then left, striding out from the city and chasing after Zhong Yue. Elder Tu Jiang followed closely, waiting for Tu Geer to teach Zhong Yue a lesson before he appeared to stop the battle

  Tian Mo Concubine, Ji Xiang Concubine and the others were flying the boat, rushing out out from the Asura Saint Clan’s territory. The ladies were all Inner Core Qi Practitioners, equivalent to Swords Gate’s hall masters, and their powers together could propel the boat at a great speed.

  The ladies powered the boat and ahd flown over ten thousand miles. Suddenly, Zhong Yue frowned and looked behind them. Tian Mo Concubine was also alerted, she quickly turned back and her beautiful countenance changed drastically. she said, “Shit, Saint Concubine has seen through your cover, you are exposed!”

  Ji Xiang Concubine and the other ladies were all overjoyed in their hearts, they thought furtively, This Mister Mo Luo better die here, and also this Tian Mo Concubine. As long as she is dead, the Caress God Gu in our bodies will also die, we will be free again!

  However, Tian Mo Concubine clearly knew what they were thinking and she said while smiling frigidly, “Ji Xiang Concubine, don’t worry, I will bring you all along with me into the afterlife! I suggest all of you to not think too much and work together to fend off the incoming enemy. Doing so otherwise will do no good for your lives, such as …an order for the Caress God Gus to devour all of your Yuan Shen!”

  Ji Xiang Concubine and the court ladies were stunned, and didn’t dare to say a word.

  The ladies then unleashed their full power and heightened the boat’s speed to a higher level. Chasing after them was a sun surrounded by demonic clouds. It was traveling at a faster speed than the boat, slowly catching up to them.

  Zhong Yue stood on the stern of the boat, looking at the demonic clouds behind them and suddenly, he laughed and said, “I thought the Asura Saint Clan would send over a magnate, who knew it’s just a Heavenly Dharma Qi Pr
actitioner. Stop the boat, there is no need to run anymore. My dear darlings, have you all fought with Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners before?”

  The ladies stopped the boat and Ji Xiang Concubine’s face changed drastically, “Fight with Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners? Please reconsider your choice, Mister!”

  Zhong Yue laughed out loud, he said, “It’s fine, the Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners are only a level higher than us. Judging from his speed, his cultivation base would be around the same as Tu Jiang’s; I will face with him squarely while you girls flank him from the sides, rain your skills and soul weapons on him as you like.”

  Tian Mo Concubine was hesitant as she said, “If you can stop him down from using skills and soul weapons, we can inflict some damage on him. The Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners’ skills are incredibly strong, none of us can withstand his attacks. Only by limiting his attacks from falling on us can we inflict some damage. However, don’t blame us if you are killed by him.”

  As they spoke, the demon sun surround by demonic clouds had caught up to them. Tu Geer was sitting in the center of the clouds, his body was huge, while behind his head was the demon sun. He had used his Avatar, which was a thousand feet tall. From the distance, he smirked coldly at them and said, “Mister Mo Luo, you’ve furtively learned the【Great Sun Heavenly Demon Art】of our Saint Clan, shamed our Asura disciples, and injured the Saint Concubine. Do you think you can run away from that?”

  A huge hand reached out from the demonic clouds and grabbed onto the boat. Zhong Yue’s body quivered as he enlarged into a two hundred eighty-foot tall giant with four arms. He rose high above the boat and used the【Great Sun Heavenly Demon Art】. All four of his hands made the Great Sun Heavenly Demon Seal; four fists punched over at the palm.

  A shock wave blasted out from the center where the fists and palm clashed; Zhong Yue’s two arms formed by the Immortal Body were disintegrated, while the huge hand also crumbled into broken totem patterns.

  As they clashed, Zhong Yue’s body shuddered violently for a split second, before morphing into the form of a bird-headed celestial being. He flashed into the demonic clouds like lightning while two new arms grew again as he unleashed the full power of the【Great Sun Heavenly Demon Art】.
