Rise of Humanity

  Eventually, the Flowery Corpse God Chrysalis fell to the ground and its head stuck in the earth. It tried to raise its body up but it was too heavy to do anything.

  The Flowery Corpse God Chrysalis wasn’t too intelligent, most of the time, they only acted on their nature instincts. As a result, it was continuing to siphon energy from the ground despite its current situation.

  The light beam was still blasting out as the Flowery Corpse God Chrysalis continued to siphoning the energy from the ground. In just a few moments, the earth around it was melted into lava.

  In the deep valley, there were burning hot rocks all over the place. A 10,000 feet tall Imminent Deity insect magnate stood tall on the spot while burning in flames.

  This insect magnate was charred black, a single breeze of wind was all it needed to blow him into ashes.

  Zhong Yue alighted down and strode along the deep valley.

  “Cough, cough…”

  Sounds of coughing came from underground, it came from an insect magnate who hid in the underground as soon as the light beam was shot over. Although he was able to survive the deadly light beam, half of his body was still vaporized by it.

  Zhong Yue raised his feet and stomped down. The earth shuddered and the coughing stopped while a pool of blood then slowly seeped out from the soil.

  He continued moving along the valley. Suddenly, he raised his hand, and the golden sword flew into his grip. As the sword was thrust into the soil, blood sprinkled up like a fountain. Sword Qi traveled within the sword body and burst out from the underground, killing an expert in it.

  All of a sudden, the earth cracked open and a charred insect Imminent Deity magnate released a loud cry, the anger in his voice was clear as crystal.

  His 10,000 feet mortal body was in an extremely wounded state, and in his hand was an Imminent Deity soul weapon that was heavily impaired by the light beam.

  This Imminent Deity insect magnate lowered his head and looked at Zhong Yue with his seven green eyes that burned with the flames of vengeance.

  “DAMN YOU HUMAN! DIEE!" The Imminent Deity insect magnate strode toward Zhong Yue while Zhong Yue burst out from the ground.

  The divine sword clashed with the Imminent Deity soul weapon. The two of them slide past one another, and blood trickled out from Zhong Yue’s mouth.

  Right when the two of them brushed shoulders, Bo Xun flew out from Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen secret realms and thrust the willow leaf divine sword into the Imminent Deity insect magnate’s head, instantly killing him.

  Zhong Yue suppressed the blood that was gushing up from his mouth and continued moving forward. The insect race was indeed strong; more than seven experts managed to survive the deadly light beam. Most of them were those that were fast enough to seek refuge underground.

  “Princess Jin Ai of the mother insect race?" Zhong Yue’s became pale. From Niu Jindou’s memories, this mother insect was another princess of the mother insect race. Although Princess Jin Ai wasn’t among the ranks of the Ten Little Saint, she was also a magnate.

  “Don’t you dare!" A bellowing of anger came from the far end. An insect magnate was flying over at Zhong Yue while wielding a divine weapon!

  Zhong Yue sneered coldly, he stood against the divine weapon’s demonic aura and kicked Princess Jin Ai’s head toward the incoming divine weapon.

  The insect magnate was shocked and quickly flew out to hold back onto the divine weapon he cast out. He spurted out a mouth of blood as he was hit with the reaction force of the divine weapon after pulling back its energy.

  “Tian Chanzi of the Ten Little Saints?" Zhong Yue mumbled as he followed behind Princess Jin Ai like a shadow. He pushed his palm out struck Princess Jin Ai’s body, giving the princess a final push toward the divine weapon, causing her to die in the hands of her own people.

  Tian Chanzi muffled a deep groan and spurted out a mouthful of blood. Just as he was going to wield the divine weapon, a bright ray of sword light flashed in his eyes and he felt himself gasping for breath.

  Zhong Yue kept the sword and reappeared behind Tian Chanzi’s back. He looked into the distance and saw the over ten insect experts that were blasted away by the light beam flying back with their divine weapons.

  Tian Chanzi raised his claws and held onto his neck, he gave a shrill cry as he said, “If we were in a fair battle, you would be the one that died…”

  Blood spurted out from his neck as his head was shot up the air by the pressure of his own blood.

  Zhong Yue shot another glance toward the incoming insect experts before leaping into the sky.

  Boom——

  He broke through the sound barrier as lightning sparked around him. In the next second, he landed on top of an insect divine weapon, and draw a circle at an insect magnate with the Golden Peng Sword.

  The insect magante was caught by surprise, and he quickly raised his six arms to forcibly withstand the sword ray. As a result, all his six arms were blown apart, and a three inch deep wound appeared on his skull.

  “Die!" The insect magnate shouted out loud and cast the insect divine weapon. Zhong Yue quickly kept the sword and the Yin Yang Qi was blasted out from his eyes, shooting into the insect magnate’s brain through the wound on his skull.

  The insect magnate was instantly killed, but Zong Yue’s legs were crushed by the immense power of the insect divine weapon as well.

  He stayed hovering in mid-air as the flesh and bones of his leg regrew. After recovering, he then wasted no extra time before flying toward another insect magnate.

  In mid-air, the two experts clashed together. Zhong Yue bowed and an altar appeared beneath them, nine demon gods bowed and worshipped the two experts as they engaged in frontal combat.

  In mere seconds, they had exchanged more than a thousand strikes, and suddenly, the insect magnate exploded into a mist of blood on the altar.

  But Zhong Yue wasn’t in a good condition either, his chest was nearly cleaved half by the insect divine weapon. He was just a step away from being completely separated into halves.

  Blood were all over his clothes and his hair fluttered in the wind, the barbaric god-like Zhong Yue raised his head up and stared at the incoming insect magnates. He said, “COME!”

  Chapter 513: Monster |

  In mid-air, Zhong Yue met with two insect magnates. Although the insect magnates were struck hard by the deadly light beam, they were still magnates. Furthermore, with the help of the insect divine weapons, they were able to escape death.

  These two insect magnates were both in the Ten Little Saints; whether it be their arcane energy or their holistic strength, they ranked among the top of insect race Qi Practitioners.

  These two insect magnates had both experienced countless battles, and their combat sense was beyond most Ancestral Star Qi Practitioners. Right at the moment they clashed with Zhong Yue, one of the insect magnate disappeared from Zhong Yue’s sight as he entered Zhong Yue’s body.

  This insect magnate was from the Void Hookworm Race, they could shift between tangible physical forms and ethereal void forms. Plus, the Void Hookworm was also a kind of hookworm, their bodies were slimy and slippery and had only a mouth on them. When inside an expert, they could easily devour the Yuan Shen and mortal body of their victims.

  This Void Hookworm Qi Practitioner was a magnate. He turned into his void form and entered Zhong Yue’s body It coiled around Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen and started devouring Zhong Yue’s essence.

  His body was crawling with hooks that hung onto Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen, making Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen unable to escape.

  Instantly, Zhong Yue could feel his cultivation base plummeting like free fall; his blood essence was also disrupted as the Void Hookworm insect magnate sucked his essences.

  The other insect magnate turned into a human-like toad of ten thousand feet tall. He raised a scythe-like divine weapon with two hands and swung it at Zhong Yue’s neck!

  The scythe was over 30,000 feet long, and Zhong Yue was only over te
n feet tall — hey were totally out of proportion! However, the scythe’s blade was incredibly thin, thinner than the silks and before it reached Zhong Yue, the divine scythe’s blade Qi had already created a narrow, thin wound on Zhong Yue’s neck!

  Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen was trapped and his mortal body was unable to move, he could only watch as the scythe slashed over at him!

  The Sui Sovereign! Zhong Yue shouted in his heart.

  His psyche visualized the the Sui Sovereign and Fire Order Palace. Saint fire burned in the palace, it was the fire of the Fire Order, the origin of all fire. The Sui Sovereign was the progenitor of the the Fire Order Era and was the only one who cultivated the art of fire to the extreme.

  The Fire Order Palace and the Sui Sovereign Zhong Yue visualized was just a mere phantom of what what they truly were. The totem patterns that formed the saint fire were authentic, but his understanding of it was close to non-existant.

  However, it was, after all, the saint fire of the Sui Sovereign, even an extremely basic visualization of it was strong enough to burn the Void Hookworm insect magnate.

  Blazing fire flamed all across the Void Hookworm’s body and he cried in pain. The insect magnate felt both his body and Yuan Shen being eroded by the saint fire and he quickly released himself away from Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen and flew out from Zhong Yue’s body!

  Ding——

  The Golden Peng Sword was cast out and countered the incoming scythe. But as Zhong Yue cast the sword out in a hurry, he couldn’t stop the scythe Qi coming at him and a half inch deep wound was created across his neck.

  Meanwhile, the Void Hookworm flew out from Zhong Yue’s body and instantly clawed over at Zhong Yue’s back.

  The other 10,000 feet tall toad-like insect magnate waved the scythe and slashed down again.

  Totem patterns emerged all over Zhong Yue’s body, linking up together and forming a shield that stopped the Void Hookworm magnate’s attack from behind. Yet, just as the attack was going to land on the shield, the insect magnate’s arm phased through the shield by shifting to its void form.

  Zhong Yue’s skill didn’t even stall the strike for a single second as the claw went through his chest, clenching onto his heart.

  “Just die, you punk!" The insect magnate guffawed and clenched his hand, turning his arm back into its physical form and pulling Zhong Yue’s heart out from the chest.

  Zhong Yue ignored the loss of his heart while he raised the golden sword and blocked the scythe again. A hundred and eight Xuan Yin Banners flew out from his Yuan Shen secret realms and shot out at the toad-like insect magnate.

  The insect magnate pulled back the scythe and struck at the banners. However, the banners formed into an array formation that trapped the insect magnate in the middle.

  The Void Hookworm insect magnate ripped Zhong Yue’s heart into pieces and said while smiling, “Let’s see how you survive now survive at this state!”

  As if on cue, a new heart could be seen quickly growing back inside of the cavity on Zhong Yue’s chest.

  The Void Hookworm insect magnate was shocked and he exclaimed, “What is this!?”

  “The Immortal Body," Zhong Yue turned around with an indifferent face, and he raised his hand and the【Celestial Demon Yi】burst out at the insect magnate.

  The【Celestial Demon Yi】was the strongest skill in his【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】, in just one strike, the Tai Chi diagram appeared and burst out in great force.

  The Void Hookworm insect magnate regained his composure, and he clawed over and with the same trick again, his hand passed through the【Celestial Demon Yi】as if it was nothing. This time, he aimed for Zhong Yue’s head as he smirked and said, “What Immortal Body? You can regrow your heart, but can you regrow a brain?”

  In just the blink of an eye, his claws are already inches away from Zhong Yue’s forehead.

  Dang——

  Suddenly, a loud bell toll reverberated through sky. The【Shao Hao Bell】emerged around Zhong Yue’s body and covered half of the Void Hookworm insect magnate in it.

  “Your body can change forms between physical and void, but so can my bell." Zhong Yue said coldly as he surged his arcane energy into the bell, “Now, the question is, can you fight against my bell?”

  A deafening bell ring trembled the earth and half of the Void Hookworm insect magnate’s body outside of the【Shao Hao Bell】was pulverized into ash. Inside of the translucent bell, the Void Hookworm insect magnate’s body remained intact. His claws reached to the front of Zhong Yue’s forehead and suddenly stopped there.

  “If you cultivated the Immortal Body as well, then you would’ve been able to live." Zhong Yue looked at the halved insect magnate and said placidly.

  Pu——

  Blood sprinkled out from the Void Hookworm magnate’s halved mortal body and he collapsed to the ground twitching incessantly.

  Zhong Yue turned around and consumed a few of Husan Weng’s fingers to recover from his injuries. He then stared at the insect experts as another eight of them pounced over at him. He said softly, “But sadly, it seems like you didn’t cultivate the Immortal Body.”

  The Void Hookworm insect magnate soon stopped twitching before it laid lifelessly on the ground.

  Among the eight insect experts coming at him, two of them were Imminent Deity magnates while the other six were also True Spirit magnates. They all had their own divine weapons and were all among the Ten Little Saints!

  At the vanguard was a lady riding on a three-headed Pan Ao — it was none other than Princess Jin Xiu and Lang Qingyun.

  Zhong Yue’s heart sank, and he sucked in a long breath of air as he clenched his fists tightly. Behind him, the toad-like insect magnate was still trapped in the array formation, waving his scythe to fight against the Xuan Yin Hundred Banners, and in front of him, another eight formidable experts were standing against him.

  Princess Jin Xiu and the other insect magnates looked at the battlefield and their hearts were shuddering in cold. They were all shuddering with anger and fear at the same time.

  It was beyond their imagination; the scene before them was a reality that was too terrifying for them to accept!

  This human was horrifyingly strong. Single handedly, he set up a trap with the Flowery Corpse God Chrysalis and nearly eradicated all of them. They had hitherto never witnessed such guile and decisiveness in a man like this before!

  Moreover, after the deadly light beam, Zhong Yue still killed over 20 insect experts on his own. He even killed the Void Hookworm insect magnate, who would be considered the hardest to kill, and that was even with two of the Ten Little Saints against him as well!

  This left even the most notable insect magnates in the insect race petrified for a few moments!

  All of a sudden, a bright smile spread across Zhong Yue’s indifferent face, but it was a smile that seemed to belong to a demon in their eyes.

  Lang Qingyun’s heart thumped in fear as well as regret swallowed his heart.

  Back then, Zhong Yue was just a tiny figure he could easily manipulate and kill. The only reason Lang Qingyun ever tried to eliminate Zhong Yue was because the fact that Zhong Yue become Shi Buyi’s closed door disciple threatened his position in the monster race.

  Yet now, this tiny figure he never took to heart had grown into such a formidable foe, being able to eliminate over 200 True Spirit and Imminent Deity magnates!

  “He must die!" For the first time, the eight insect magnates and Lang Qingyun had the same thought flashing across in their heads, “No matter what, he must be killed!”

  “Such a monster... we mustn’t let it live!”

  The eight insect magnates and Lang Qingyun galvanized into action right at that instant. In a split second, Zhong Yue crouched down and shot away from them. He then spread his wings out behind him and flew away with great speed.

  As he moved, the experts chased after him as well and were forced to break apart their formation.

  Some of the insect magnates were fast
er in the front and some were slower at the back. As the experts became separated, they had lost the tactical opportunity of surrounding Zhong Yue.

  Last fight! Rays flashed across Zhong Yue’s eyes and his body morphed into the Fuxi True Form.

  This is the battle of live or death, either I kill all of you or I die by your hands. It’s time I go all out! Nine Revolving Inner Core, Avatar of the Heaven and Earth!

  His inner core flew out and the Tai Chi Force Field expanded out to the surroundings. Yin and Yang dominated one side each, there was a blazing sun that rose in the dark Yin and a bright moon that fell in the light Yang. The arcane energies of the celestial and demon element also billowed out.

  Shua——

  The fastest insect magnate who was at the front was the first to be drawn into the Tai Chi Force Field.

  The force of heaven and earth had grown Zhong Yue’s body to over ten feet tall, and he turned back at the insect magnates.

  The Six Reincarnation Wheels!

  In the force field, Zhong Yue opened all of his six secret realms and further strengthened his prowess as he went head on with the insect magnate.

  The insect magnate was at the level of Imminent Deity. The moment he was included in the Tai Chi Force Field, he had already cast out the insect race’s divine weapon and struck at the force field.

  Although his arcane energy was suppressed by the forcefield, he was, after al,l an Imminent Deity magnate. Zhong Yue’s Tai Chi Force Field couldn’t wholly suppress all of his prowess.

  The divine weapon was cast and a rainbow bridge lacerated Zhong Yue’s Tai Chi Inner Core for a few hundred miles of distance. Zhong Yue’s inner core was instantly damaged and he muffled a deep groan while spurting out a mouth of blood.

  The two of them clashed in the Tai Chi Force Field. Zhong Yue bowed down and the【Worshipping of Gods】clashed with the Imminent Deity magnate’s attacks. As a result of their strikes, their hands burst out with blood and their muscles exploded into blood mist.
