Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  As soon as the Heavenly Dharma experts crashed into the ground, they struggled to get up and bolted out as far as possible. Even the divine mirror was pushed up into the sky and flew out for a few thousand miles before stopping.

  Only the Warrior Board, Godlike Board, and Legendary Board were still hovering in mid-air, but they were also swinging violently in the turbulent air.

  Boom——

  A loud blunt sound ravaged the land. In the two inner core force field, Zhong Yue and Bi Xie cast out their strong skills, they had both gone all out in their first strike!

  Bi Xie’s emperor-leveled godly skill and Zhong Yue’s【Celestial Demon Yi】struck together, and right after, Zhong Yue bowed down. The myriad gods appeared around him and an altar emerged beneath his feet. The dimension was even shuddering violently when Zhong Yue bowed down!

  If felt as if an ancient barbaric god had awoken!

  Chapter 491: Fast versus Strong |

  【Worshipping of Gods】!

  This was the second skill in Zhong Yue’s【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】, it could be said to be Zhong Yue’s strongest skill!

  The first skill【Celestial Demon Yi】and second skill【Worshipping of Gods】!

  Both were cast out at the start of the battle and had shown his domineering power!

  On the other hand,Bi Xie had morphed into the Bi Xie celestial, with the head of a dragon the face of a tiger, and with two horns. He raised his left hand and stopped the【Celestial Demon Yi】while casting out a peculiar hand seal. Immediately, totem patterns billowed out behind him and formed 36 stars above in the sky. Each star had the faint figure of a god, and the gods had their own unique appearances but were all tall and imposing!

  The 36 stars were composed of dense totem patterns, they were all incredibly profound while the 36 gods gave Zhong Yue a very weird feeling. It felt like they were living spirits!

  The 36 gods felt like the spirits that were born within stars that had been worshipped by countless living beings.

  With Bi Xie’s current knowledge and cultivation base, it was impossible to have created such a strong skill. Clearly, this could only be a skill created by the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor!

  Only a Deity Emperor could have such an extreme understanding in the stars and space to create such an abstruse skill!

  The 36 godly figures along with the 36 stars plummeted down into Bi Xie’s right hand and clashed with Zhong Yue’s【Worshipping of Gods】!

  Thirty-six stars and gods against Zhong Yue’s millions of worshipping gods!

  Zhong Yue’s ebony hair fluttered in the sky and his muscles bulged up. His blood sounded like a billowing ocean while his Yuan Shen secret realms were in full rotation!

  His strength and arcane energy tightly synergized both his mortal body and Yuan Shen. He had turned into a war machine, with all of his strength and energy ready in full force!

  Bi Xie muffled a groan as Zhong Yue’s strength crushed all of the stars and gods away, sending Bi Xie flying back like a crashing meteor!

  The divine third eye emerged from Zhong Yue’s forehead, a godly ray was shot out and chased after Bi Xie. Meanwhile, Zhong Yue’s body shrunk to only 18 feet tall, compressing all of his power and energy together, greatly enhancing his strength and speed!

  Hundreds of punches were struck out in just the blink of an eye, leaving many afterimages in the air between them. If one looked closely, they would’ve realized that these punches were struck out with the dragon totem patterns!

  The punches were all imbued with the force of a Jiao Dragon!

  Once Zhong Yue had the upper hand, his attacks rained down like a storm on Bi Xie. In just a few moments, countless strikes were sent out. He then drew a circle with his hands and a translucent bell appeared in front of him

  Dang——

  The bell rang unceasingly and shot out wave after wave of sonic attacks behind the punches!

  Outside of the Lesser Void World, Mister Kun Da and the others who were viewing the battle through the Realm Linker Divine Mirror with raised eyebrows.

  First, there was the arcane energy skill, 【Worshipping of Gods】that crushed the 36 stars and gods. Then, there was the golden godly ray of the divine third eye, followed by the mortal body punching skills which fused the dragon totem patterns and the ways of the Martial Masters. Lastly, there was still the sonic attack from that translucent bell.

  Bi Xie was sent flying through the mid-air, if he couldn’t stop Zhong Yue’s three incoming waves of attacks, he would be defeated for sure!

  As of now, Bi Xie was already a thousand miles out, those three strikes would inflict more damage and push him out of his own inner core force field!

  If he was struck out from the Bi Xie Force Field while Zhong Yue was still in the Tai Chi Force Field, all Zhong Yue would have to do to was to just crush the Bi Xie Force Field away. With that, Zhong Yue would be able to kill Bi Xie and reap the fruits of victory!

  It was then, Mister Kun Da, Clan Master Xia and the others knew why even the higher cultivation level Qi Practitioners would still be defeated in Zhong Yue’s hands.

  Because Zhong Yue didn’t even have to test the limit of his opponent, all he had to do was launch a barrage of his fiercest and most horrifying attacks. Even if the opponent didn’t have any flaws, his attacks would still create one in his opponent.

  As long as you took a single step back, you would have to face an endless barrage of attacks from Zhong Yue! There just wasn’t any room for a single mistake when fighting someone like Zhong Yue!

  Clan Master Xia, Mister Kun Da and the others were shocked for Bi Xie. Even if they took his place, they wouldn’t be able to do much against such attacks.

  Although their stronger cultivation base allowed them to forcibly suppress Zhong Yue, Bi Xie was still just a Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioner like Zhong Yue!

  In the next moment, Bi Xie was already closing to the end of his inner core force field. He flicked his finger and nine stars were shot out to stop the incoming godly ray.

  His other hand reached for one of the horns on his head, taking it down and blowing it. Immediately, the incoming punches exploded into the hundred-feet long Jiao Dragons.

  As these Jiao Dragons were still lunging at him, the horn sounded out again and crushed the Jiao Dragons into pure totem patterns. The totem patterns then dispersed into thin air as well,

  The sonic attack of the【Shao Hao Bell】came right after the incoming punches, by now, it was already too late for Bi Xie to fight back against it. Left with no choice, Bi Xie quickly lowered his head and faced the incoming soundwaves with the only horn left on his head.

  The sound of a bell ringing was then stopped seconds right after it sounded.

  “Two horns?” Mister Kun Da was shocked, he exclaimed, “What are they? How can they just fight against the Zhong Yue’s attacks so easily?”

  “They are an inherent ability of the Bi Xie Celestial Race; the Horn of War and Horn of Fortune.” Rays flashed across Feng Wuji’s eyes as he said, “The Horn of Fortune is also known as the Horn of Bi Xie, it can dispel any skills directed at it. While the Horn of War brings chaos and war, it can disrupt the enemy’s thoughts as well as strengthen the user’s own power. The first horn he used was the Horn of War, and the second one is the Horn of Fortune.”

  Mister Kun Da then gazed at Feng Wuji puzzlingly, he thought, How can he know so much? Even I don’t know about this.

  Clan Master Xia suddenly asked, “High priest, how do you think one would counter Zhong Yue’s attacks?”

  The other experts also plunged into thoughts. Zhong Yue’s attacks were fast and fierce, relentlessly attacking the opponent like an ever-erupting volcano or an endlessly raging storm. It was truly hard to fight against him.

  If they were facing Zhong Yue in the same cultivation level, they would have long been dead already.

  There wasn’t a way they could think of to counter Zhong Yue’s attacks.

  Feng Wuji heard the question and a
nswered smilingly, “Fast.”

  “Fast?”

  The experts were startled.

  In the Lesser Void World, Bi Xie disappeared from the ground, and in the next second, he was already in front of Zhong Yue. The two then started exchanging strikes again.

  For the last bout, Zhong Yue was fierce and domineering with great force. But his overwhelming strength still couldn’t defeat Bi Xie.

  And now, Bi Xie had returned and risen higher than ever with horrifying speed!

  Fierce and domineering strength also meant a sacrifice in speed!

  With a faster attack rate, Bi Xie managed to suppress Zhong Yue from casting the fierce and domineering skills!

  Bi Xie’s skills were incredibly quick, stars were blasting out and emerging within his fingers like butterflies. He deftly moved around Zhong Yue and incessantly launched his attacks at him, nearly overwhelming Zhong Yue. These stars were rising and falling, forming and exploding; the force of the stars was fast like lightning as they struck at Zhong Yue.

  His cultivation technique was really bizarre, something Zhong Yue had never seen before. Every skill he had cast was related to stars, any star could be formed into the totem patterns, and the stars’ powers manifested through the totem patterns. Whether it be the sun, meteors, cosmic rays, the five celestial stars, or any other star or constellations.

  All sort of bizarre powers were cast out from his hands, blazing fire like the sun, lively like the Ancestral Star, strong and powerful like the crashing meteors, or shrouded in a deathly aura like dying planets!

  Not only that, but his two horns were also waltzing in mid-air, continuously dispelling Zhong Yue’s skills while strengthening his own power.

  Under his attacks, Zhong Yue seemed flustered. He had even cast out the eight arms to ward off the incoming attacks.

  Meanwhile, the experts outside of the Lesser Void World perked up. They all looked at Feng Wuji and even Clan Master Xia and Mister Kun Da looked at Feng Wuji.

  Bi Xie’s solution was exactly like Feng Wuji’s, countering power with speed!

  “High priest, so how should the Zhong Yue respond?” Mister Kun Da suddenly asked.

  Feng Wuji pondered for a second and shook his head, saying, “Impossible. Although the Zhong Yue is powerful, his skills favor strength and brutality over finesse. This is plenty enough for ordinary opponents, but not so for someone of Bi Xie’s caliber. If it were me, I will try to fight faster than Bi Xie, once he can’t catch up to my speed, then he will be defeated naturally. This Bi Xie, he is faster than I imagined…”

  Mister Kun Da’s heart stiffened up and he pondered.

  Feng Wuji pointed out Zhong Yue’s flaw: strong and powerful but not fast enough to catch up with the true experts.

  Attacking faster truly a way to fight against Zhong Yue’s attacks but that wasn’t what alarmed Mister Kun Da the most.

  For the first time, Mister Kun Da began to seriously re-evaluate Feng Wuji. Bi Xie was already beyond than the average celestial expert, and yet, Feng Wuji has somehow suggested that he was even faster than Bi Xie?

  This couldn’t help but give Mister Kun Da pause.

  Suddenly, Zhong Yue spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his line was cursed away by Bi Xie. Immediately, even more attacks rained down on him and inflicted even more injuries on him!

  “The Zhong Shan Clan member really can’t stop Bi Xie’s fast attacks!” Zhurong Yanqin and the others nodded as they looked at Feng Wuji in praise.

  Meanwhile, Zhong Yue dispersed the other six arms to be left with the normal two.

  “What is he doing? Conceding defeat?” Xia Zhongjin, who was standing beside Clan Master Xia, asked.

  Feng Wuji’s face turned solemn as he shook his head and said, “No… he’s found a way to stop Bi Xie. What an incredible fellow…”

  Chapter 492: Fellow Daoist |

  “He has found a way?”

  The crowd was shocked. Feng Wuji just said that the only way to beat Bi Xie was to be faster than him. But that was much easier said than done!

  Zhong Yue’s skill casting rate was not as fast as Bi Xie’s, nor did he have any skill that could have fight against the Deity Overlord cultivation techniques.

  The【Monster God Ming King Art】, 【Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art】,【Great Sun Heavenly Demon Art】,【Great Boundless Sword Qi】and any other cultivation technique he had learned were just god-leveled cultivation techniques. The skills they contained were also only ordinary godly skills, how could they be stronger than emperor-leveled godly skills.

  Whereas for a Deity Emperor’s heritage, other than the cultivation technique and the various arts, there were also many other skills that could be cast out in the blink of an eye.

  The great skills required one to focus and fully utilize the energies in their body. Thus, making the casting speed slower. Besides his arsenal of arts, Bi Xie still had the other quick-launch skills from the Deity Emperor’s heritage that was passed down to him by the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor.

  This was also why Zhong Yue was struck badly in just a few moment’s time. He didn’t have any skills that could contend against Bi Xie!

  Rays flashed in Feng Wuji’s eyes, and he mumbled, “Are you really that strong? Can you really create a skill that can fight against Bi Xie in such a short while?”

  In the Lesser Void World, Zhong Yue cast aside all of the other skills and dispersed the other six arms. He moved his hand quickly and raised out two fingers, cutting down on Bi Xie’s skills like a pair of dragon scissors.

  “This…” Bi Xie’s heart thumped in shock. He could feel his skills losing connection with him along with his arcane energy, blood essence, and psyche he used to cast the skill!

  This was definitely something he had never come across before. A skill that can nullify other skills, even cutting off the arcane energy, blood essence. and psyche along with it. How could there be such bizarre skill?

  Who could have created such an art?

  Bi Xie then elevated his rate of attack and started casting out stronger skills. Zhong Yue’s fingers moved in the air and the【Dragon Shears】flew out from his fingers, cutting down the incoming skills.

  Bi Xie immediately suffered injuries; he could feel his heart aching in pain. He immediately stopped, and a 72-star array formation emerged beneath his feet. Bi Xie struck out a palm strike and the array formation shone brightly as well. There were also 72 godly figures that emerged within the array formation and struck at Zhong Yue together along with Bi Xie, further enhancing the strike’s power.

  While there were also the totem pattern formed in chains that curled around Bi Xie arm. But before they could do anything, Zhong Yue’s【Dragon Shears】already struck over and sheared the totem pattern chains away!

  The【Dragon Shears】were too way too bizarre. They don’t clash with the skills and only shear the skills away. Those who had faced with the【Dragon Shears】would know, it was like fighting with an untouchable enemy that could dispel your skills without fail. No matter how hard you tried, there still wouldn’t be any way around it.

  Thus, Bi Xie acted decisively and has cast out the great skills!

  Zhong Yue has also kept the【Dragon Shears】and fought back with the great skills!

  “The【Dragon Shears】are too dominating, but it is a senior martial brother’s. Thus, I will not use it anymore.”

  Zhong Yue slithered forward at a great speed and struck at Bi Xie with the back of his hand while he said with a smile, “Brother Bi Xie, let’s continue.”

  The【Dragon Shears】was the skill created by Feng Xiaozhong to break the bloodline seals in the Fuxi body.

  If even the bloodline seals in the Fuxi could be cut by the【Dragon Shears】, how could Bi Xie’s skill be of it’s match?

  Zhong Yue’s admiration toward Feng Xiaozhong grew. Back in the days, he never realized the power of the【Dragon Shears】and thus never practiced it since breaking the first layer of Fuxi bloodline seal.

  But
as he was left with no choice now, he suddenly thought of the skill and has cast it out. It was also out of his expectation that the【Dragon Shears】could even shear the Deity Emperor’s cultivation skills!

  This was still just the skills, but what if the【Dragon Shears】was directed at heads?

  For example, the Inner Core Qi Practitioners were already strong in life force. Even when their heads were decapitated from their bodies, they could still survive if their heads were connected back to their bodies within a few moments after death. The same went for Imminent Deity magnates, but the window was longer.

  However, if it were the【Dragon Shears】that decapitated the cultivator, all of the blood essence, arcane energy and psyche would be sheared off from the body. With that being said, even if you had the head and reconnected it back to the body, you would still remain dead without doubt.

  Feng Xiaozhong had dug too many tombs, he had captured uncountable experts from various races, researched the gods’ corpses and even dissected the godly spirits. His understandings on skills and body structures were at a height that none could ever compare with. Which was what allowed him to have created such a horrifyingly strong skill.

  Seeing that Zhong Yue really stopped fighting with the【Dragon Shears】and used the back of his hand instead, Bi Xie was startled.

  As soon as Zhong Yue showed the back of his hand, a freezing moon rose behind him and the Tai Yin Divine Water streamed below the jade moon. Great power was imbued in the moon and river.

  Bi Xie raised his hand and lashed a palm strike in return.

  Krong——

  A loud noise like thunder rumblings ravaged the sky and Bi Xie felt an immensely cold force rushing into his arm. The peculiar force was washing his prowess away and eroding his skills. His heart thumped a beat and it was at this moment that Zhong Yue flipped his hand and struck his palm right at Bi Xie’s palm!

  Krong——

  The moon fell and the river collapsed. A blazing sun rose high and a Golden Crow flew out spanning its wings wide, it reached out to the sun and swallowed it into its beak.
