Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  Feng Wuji was curious and asked, “Met and talked with some unknown people? Didn’t accept the challenge and is only sitting on the city wall? He must be stalling for time for something, but what is it that is worth him even tearing his own reputation apart? I’ll go over and check it out!”

  Clan Master Xia then smiled and said, “Brother Feng, you are too cautious. How can an Inner Core Qi Practitioner ever sabotage our plan? Just an ant we could kill effortlessly. The teleportation portal is almost complete, why don’t you stay a little longer to witness the completion of our masterpiece?”

  Feng Wuji shook his head and walked away as he replied, “He is planning something to take down our work, this is something we mustn’t ignore. With the many magnates here overseeing the portal, there is not much use for me here. I will be back in a minute after I’ve found out what he is planning!”

  ------

  On the city wall, Zhong Yue’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, he felt three pair of eyes staring at him with great hostility as if they were trying to see through his mind and extract all of his secrets from him.

  Zhong Yue then raised his head and saw Feng Wuji on the palm of Lord Xia’s statue, although Feng Wuji didn’t show his three heads, Zhong Yue could still feel the six eyes looking at him.

  Their eyes met, a gentleman’s smile rose on Feng Wuji’s face and just as he was about to speak, Zhong Yue stood up with a pair of bright eyes and a chest full of heroic air. Feng Wuji, it’s time to finally have a bout with you! Today, I will use the hands of others to take down your plans and in the future, I will use my own hands to tear you apart!

  Zhong Yue blasted away from the city wall and struck right at the taunting Jiao Qingtu.

  Krong——

  Six wheels opened behind him and his body morphed into the Fuxi True Form, turning into a three hundred sixty-foot tall Fuxi Celestial; his heavy and thick blood essence even drove the lightning clouds from the sky!

  Wong——

  The【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】 emerged and Zhong Yue lashed out a palm at Jiao Qingtu. The trees were blasted into shattered wood, the greenish land was flipped, upended and even the river was broken in half by the strong force!

  【Celestial Demon Yi】!

  Jiao Qingtu bellowed in rage, he was struck back and crashed over ten miles away into a mountain. Cracks emerged on the mountain and then the whole mountain crumbled into pieces, crashing down onto Jiao Qingtu below!

  Zhong Yue then morphed into the three-taloned Golden Crow, flitting away for a hundred miles, and landed beside eleven scarfed weirdos!

  “Divine Wing Saber, come out!”

  Chapter 394: Too Ruthless |

  A draconic roar echoed out from underneath the shattered mountain, and a bloodied Jiao Dragon flew out from the debris as it shouted, "Zhong Yue, how dare you! Show yourself and fight me!"

  The Qi Practitioners that were observing the battle were all shocked at Jiao Qingtu's rapid recovery after being injured to the extent that he was. Such a regeneration speed was incredibly rare!

  However, someone like Zhong Yue, who managed to inflict severe injuries on Jiao Qingtu with ease, was even rarer!

  “How did Zhong Yue get away?”

  A hundred miles away, Zhong Yue was quickly plummeting to the ground, and the copper lantern flew out. Before he landed, the cover of the lantern opened up, and he drove the Golden Peng Sword into it.

  “Come out!” Zhong Yue turned into the Fu Xi Celestial and channeled all his energy to take out a huge godly sword from the copper lantern.

  Hong long——-

  He landed at the center of the eleven masked men, his violent arrival crushing the ground under his feet and sending rubble flying everywhere.

  The eleven masked men felt a divine aura rising from the inside of the copper lantern. A huge divine sword emerged; its tip was the first to appear, before the rest of its body was slowly revealed!

  It was a golden sword! On the sword were sword feathers, each of which was equivalent to a Golden Peng Sword, and there were also green scales covering the sword's surface!

  This long sword was a few tens of miles long, and looked just like the wings of a Golden Winged Peng Bird... and this was not the biggest form of this extremely sharp Divine Wing Saber!

  It was initially a thousand miles long, but after being suppressed by the copper lantern and the galaxy's soul inside, it had shrunk by quite an extent. Even so, the sword was still a few tens of miles long even after all of that.

  Zhong Yue hadn't completely refined the sword yet, and so he was unable to freely alter the sword's size as he wished. If he managed to do so, the sword would not be as big as it was now.

  The Divine Wing Saber’s appearance rendered the eleven masked men stunned; they did not know what to do as they simply stared the colossal sword vacantly.

  The sword was just way too big!

  Even they had never seen such a huge soul weapon in their lives!

  Perhaps only the incredibly huge Kun Peng Celestial Race could have forged a soul weapon of this size.

  Zhong Yue then formed a Tai Chi Art with nine demons praying on an altar and shouted, "Seniors, get onto my altar! The magnate seniors, stand on the sun and moon, I require your energy in helping me activate the Divine Wing Saber!"

  The eleven masked men quickly did as Zhong Yue asked, while the two True Spirit level Qi Practitioners stood on the two sides of Zhong Yue's Tai Chi Art.

  The eleven of them then started channeling their energy into the Divine Wing Saber.

  As energy poured into the sword, the sword rose into the sky, floating in the air with its tip hidden within the clouds, while the thunder up in the Pure Yang Thundercloud turned into thunderous Jiao Dragons swarming into the sword.

  As he controlled the【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】, Zhong Yue suddenly bowed to the Divine Wing Saber.

  On the altars, the nine masked men all felt that they had lost control of their energy while the Divine Wing Saber's power crazily surged to a peak!

  "Aim at the spirit of Fiery Capital, the Martial Divine Master, and cut them down!"

  Zhong Yue shouted as he swung the Divine Wing Saber, that was filled to the brim with Pure Yang Thunder, towards the Fiery Capital!

  In an instant, the skies were illuminated by thunder and lightning that trailed behind the sword as it swung towards the capital!

  ---

  At the same time in the Fiery Capital, Feng Wuji frowned slightly upon seeing Zhong Yue mowd down Jiao Qingtu with overwhelming strength before he flew way. Feng Wuji thought, Zhong Yue was taking his own sweet time just now, but why did he run away after seeing me... Oh shit!

  Feng Wuji's expression faltered quickly upon seeing this, and when he connected the dots to Zhong Yue's previous actions, he immediately reached a realization!

  Divine Wing Saber! It's the Divine Wing Saber! He's gathered all those Qi Practitioners to activate the Divine Wing Saber!

  As if confirming his conclusion, a tremendous godly aura suddenly surged towards the capital from a hundred miles north of it. His face changed again, and he quickly hid in the body of the Martial Divine Master.

  Then, just when he entered the body of Martial Divine Master, he faintly saw three figures charging into the entrance of the Lesser Void World, and what he saw sent his mind spinning into a panic. Feng Wuji immediately thought, Why are these three guys all masked? Oh no! They are the reinforcements Zhong Yue brought to save Shui Zian! This brat split his forces in two; one to destroy the teleportation portal, while the other saves Shui Zian! How did he manage to gather so many strong Qi Practitioners in such a short time?

  His questions were bound to be left unanswered, and there was also no time for him to figure it out. Just when he got up, the presence of the Divine Wing Saber intensified by an ungodly amount!

  Before the sword landed on the capital, Sword Qi touched down on the capital, slicing the castle doors apart and shattering all the buildings along the path in an instant.
Even the Fiery Saint Palace trembled vigorously as tiny cracks spiderwebbed across the ground and the palace walls!

  Shit!…

  Feng Wuji had no time to think and quickly charged into the Wan Xiang Secret Realm of the Martial Divine Master. He shouted, "Zhong Yue is planning to activate the Divine Wing Saber! Move the portal to someplace else now! Clan Master Xia, gather up everyone in the capital to summon the spirit of Xia Hou! Only his spirit will be able to withstand the power of the Divine Wing Saber!"

  In the secret realm, Sha Qishan had already taken out the Star Disc and placed it within the portal, while the other Qi Practitioners from the Zhong Li Celestial Race worked on maintaining it. The portal then opened up, exposed the horrifying surroundings of the Wood Celestial Star; a black tornado was rampaging through it, and black lightning could be seen bombarding the sea. Rogue waves as tall as few ten thousand miles also extended as far as the eyes could see.

  While Feng Wuji warned everyone about what Zhong Yue was up to, Sha Qishan was holding a totem pillar as he contacted the Kun Peng Celestial Race in the Wood Celestial Star so they could descend onto the Ancestral Star.

  “Brother Feng, what is so dangerous about this tiny Zhong Yue?” Xia Zhongjin, who did not know much about Zhong Yue, raised his head and asked with a puzzled face, "The spirit of Xia Hou is not in Fiery Capital, but the saint city of our Zhong Li Celestial Race, the Heavenly Lord Palace. It is impossible to awaken the spirit of Xia Hou right now, and even if we were to do it, it still won't make it in time. What is this Divine Wing Saber you are talking about? What's the rush?"

  “Divine Wing Saber?”

  Sha Qishan froze for a moment, and he quickly shouted, "The saint weapon of the Kun Peng Celestial Race? The Divine Wing Saber?"

  Feng Wuji shouted in response, "This sword, it's now Zhong Yue's hands! He is trying to use this sword to kill the spirit of the Fiery Capital, the Martial Divine Master, and to destroy the portal!"

  The faces of Clan Master Xia and the others quickly changed as they all promptly flew out from the body of Martial Divine Master.

  Sha Qishan hesitated for a moment before he grabbed onto the Star Disc and shouted, “Wait, let me retrieve the Star Disc first so it will not be damaged by Zhong Yue. Should I contact the Kun Peng Celestial Race about this? Wait for me!”

  At the center of the portal, countless huge fish jumped out from the ocean and turned into Golden Winged Peng Birds as they flew towards the teleportal.

  “Sha Qishan, well done!” said a ruthless-looking Kun Peng Celestial Race’s magnate Qi Practitioner.

  From a Peng Bird, he then turned into a golden celestial being with a golden staff in his hands while countless Peng Birds flew towards the teleportal.

  At this time, Sha Qishan finally got his hands on the Star Disc, and he shouted, "Clan Master, I can not let you come here now, sorry!"

  When he wanted to leave with the Star Disc, he suddenly heard a deafening sound. And upon looking up, Sha Qishan was paralyzed with fear as a huge golden sword headed straight toward him, cutting everything down in its path!

  Golden rays shot out from the Divine Wing Saber. They were all rays from the Golden Peng Sword, and in an instant, the Wan Xiang Secret Realm of the Martial Divine Master was torn apart.

  “Human, how dare you! How did you manage to activate the sword!?!?!” Sha Qishan screamed before he turned into countless sharks fleeing in every direction to escape the Divine Wing Saber.

  The portal shattered, and on the other side, the clan master of the Kun Peng Celestial race could only watch as it was destroyed right before his eyes.

  "Sha Qishan, damn you!" the clan master bellowed angrily.

  Feng Wuji, who got out from the secret realm of the Martial Divine Master a step ahead of its destruction, was terrified and quickly ran when he saw the fearsome golden ray and Pure Yang Thunder raining from the skies.

  A tremendous divine aura descended as the Divine Wing Saber landed on the ground. The saber completely cleaved the Fiery Saint Palace and the statue of Xia Hou apart, slicing through the Martial Divine Master's palms and head, splitting its skull apart.

  At the same time, countless Golden Peng Swords flew out from the Divine Wing Saber's body in all directions, crushing everything in their paths and reducing buildings to rubble!

  The spirit of the Martial Divine Master disintegrated immediately, while Clan Master Xia, Zhurong Yanqin, Xia Zhongjin, and the others ran away as fast as they could.

  However, before they managed to get very far, they were devoured by the golden rays.

  Feng Wuji, who was lucky enough to escape from the attacks, turned around in time to see the Martial Divine Master crushed by the sword. He murmured, "This brat… he is so ruthless!"

  The bisected statue of Xia Hou started to crumble, and its debris fell into the fiery ocean beneath it.

  In this one attack, Zhong Yue had almost hacked the entire Fiery Capital in half, and the only thing that remained floating in the air was the entrance to the Lesser Void World.

  Chapter 395: Fight for The Banner |

  The three masked men were none other than Jun Sixie, Old Man Ying, and Bai Zhenbei. They had changed their appearances, and Old Man Ying rushed into the Lang Ya Board along with Bai Zhenbei, entering the seventh floor of the Lesser Void World to save Shui Zian.

  Meanwhile, Jun Sixie stayed on the outer rim. She took out the Azure Dragon Marked Banner and yelled. It then grew to a length of over a mile long and was slowly fluttering with the wind.

  Behind Jun Sixie, the Water Celestial True Spirit was holding onto the banner and patiently waiting for the signal.

  Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei rushed into the seventh-floor and saw a huge array formation that shrouded the sky of the Lesser Void City. It was formed by the three huge banners – White Tiger, Black Turtle, Vermilion Bird.

  The banners had surrounded the Lesser Void City, and three legendary beasts walked down from the banners and fought in the city, ravaging its land and buildings.

  The banners, in addition to the Azure Dragon Marked Banner, were the Four Symbol Banners, with each acting as a command banner for one military camp. When gathered together, they would form the key to the Reincarnation Monarch's tomb.

  These legendary beasts were purely composed of the totem patterns carved on the banners, and once the banners were activated, the totem patterns would then form physical manifestations of the beasts of legend.

  However, as the activators of the banners were still too weak to unleash the true power of the banners, the three legendary beasts they materialized were not that strong. Otherwise, any one of the banners could have easily taken Shui Zian's life.

  Sixty-four Sword Cocoons were moving deftly around the city, fighting head-on against the three legendary beasts while trying to tire them out

  In the center of the city was none other than the Swords Gate Grand Elder, Shui Zian. He had been trapped for two days, and despite him being an Imminent Deity cultivator, withstanding two days of non-stop attacks had still taken an enormous toll on his energy. He was now at the brink of collapse.

  Under the three banners, there were Zhong Li Celestial Race magnates. Among them was a Zhu Rong Clan magnate, and the others were Martial Heavenly Masters. Although they were a level below Shui Zian, their combined attacks had him at a disadvantage, and they were killing him little by little.

  Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei rushed quickly, and not a single second was wasted before their skills and soul weapons were already blasted out at one of the Martial Heavenly Master!

  A Martial Heavenly Master was equivalent to a True Spirit Qi Practitioner. Their mortal bodies were nearly unbreakable, and that gave them an advantage against the Qi Practitioners in close-quarters combat. Hence, Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei had decided to eliminate the Martial Heavenly Master down first!

  But that Martial Heavenly Master reacted quickly; he had sensed the two right when they entered the Lesser Void World. But because he was maintaining the
array formation, he wasn't able to dodge at all, having no choice but to bear all of the attacks.

  The agile Martial Heavenly Masters were, in fact, even more challenging to catch in the air than on the ground. But since the array formation limited his movements, he could only endure whatever was to come at him.

  Right in the next second, he was fully engulfed in the skills of the two magnates. Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei even hid their soul weapons in their arts, using them to deal even more severe injuries to the Martial Heavenly Master.

  Blood sprayed through the sky, and his mortal body cracked like porcelain. The Martial Heavenly Master's mortal body was their strongest weapon, even stronger than magnate soul weapons. But in the end, Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei were no easy targets themselves.

  Despite him nearing the end of his life, Old Man Ying's arcane energy was still strong and dense. On the other hand, Bai Zhenbei was an old codger of the Bai Zhe Clan; he had extensive knowledge in nearly all of the skills and techniques that had ever existed in this world. With him knowing their weaknesses and shortcomings, how could he ever be defeated in battle?

  Once Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei struck their attacks away, they then immediately turned to the other Martial Heavenly Master. That Martial Heavenly Master spread out his fire-red hairs and morphed into the Zhong Li Celestial form.

  Meanwhile, the Zhu Rong magnate on the other side covered himself in flames as if he had become a god of fire. He then punched out a million fire dragons right at Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei.
