Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  On the top of the twin planets, Chan Dongyuan looked at Shi Buyi and Old Man Six Paths and said, “My senior martial brothers, both you of seem to be worried about them?”

  Shi Buyi put up a worried expression and he nodded, “Indeed.”

  “You should all be worried. Haha, I told my student about your students’ origins, telling him what spirit bodies your students are and now, he should have an idea on how to deal with them. They might not be able to live for long!” Chan Dongyuan gloated.

  Shocked, Shi Buyi and Old Man Six Paths looked at him as they were at a loss for words.

  Chan Dongyuan laughed happily and said maliciously, “You think I really will try to befriend stupid people like you that came out of nowhere? I’m only telling my student to let him win over your students! The more students and disciples of those gods out there that die, the higher chances of my students victory!”

  He then looked at Shi Buyi and the Old Man Six Path and mocked, “The Prison Realm consists of only cunning and sly evil beings, every one of us has committed at unforgivable crimes! Who knows whatever you did that had you banished to the Prison Realm, but both of you are way too naive!”

  Shi Buyi’s expression became very interesting and upon seeing this, Chan Dongyuan became even happier and he said, “Fools! You actually have four innate spirit bodies as your students! Do you know how rare innate spirit bodies are in the Prison Realm? If I can’t have them, then I will crush them!”

  Old Man Six Path that was also startled thought, It’s easy to know one’s face but not one’s heart. This Chan Dongyuan seemed to be a good person back then, but in the end, everything was just a facade.

  Shi Buyi thoughts ran wild in his mind before he nodded, “I am indeed very naive.”

  “Now, you can continue worry about your students!” Chan Dongyuan said as he cackled maniacally.

  Shi Buyi nodded again and he said worriedly, “I hope that your student will cross the line. If the two little girls are hurt by your student, that young brat there will go on a rampage and everyone there will probably die.”

  “What are you talking about?” asked the confused Chan Dongyuan.

  “He may look young and harmless… but in truth, wherever he goes, death follows… If he’s truly riled up, then he might just slaughter all the Qi Practitioners out there.”

  Shi Buyi mumbled worriedly again, “Please don’t kill them all, you must keep a low profile, please do not do anything reckless….”

  Chapter 614: Betting With The Demon Gods |

  Chan Dongyuan burst out laughing and said happily, “This stupid monster god, has he gone crazy?”

  Everyone laughed; the demon gods looked at Shi Buyi and Old Man Six Paths as if they were both retarded.

  The Prison Realm was a place where the sinister gathered, a place that was a breeding ground for evil. Thus, only the most insidious individuals were able to survive and rose above the rest as demon gods.

  All the while, Shi Buyi secretly prayed that Zhong Yue would not attack as he murmured, “These fools in the Prison Realm have no idea that this brat down there will never have mercy on his enemies!”

  Chan Dongyuan almost lost his breath when he saw what Shi Buyi did.

  “Raise the altar!”

  Suddenly, a demon god laughed and said, “Let’s have a bet! Let’s see whose students triumph!”

  The demon gods all raised their altars; these demon gods too, were worshipped; they all had one or two planets under them, and the living beings on these planets all worshipped them.

  They all immediately placed their bets; some bet their disciples would win, some bet the disciples of others would win. Their bets easily amazed Shi Buyi as he remarked, “They even bet on the disciples of others? Seems like I failed as a teacher, I thought I was already bad enough, but it seems like these guys are even worse!”

  “Shi Buyi, Dao Liu, are you going to bet?” said a demon god angrily.

  “Of course!”

  Shi Buyi and Old Man Six Paths got out. Just as Shi Buyi took out his Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons and wanted to bet them, Chan Dongyuan smirked and said, “Don’t bother betting if whatever you bet is not demonic divine weapon level!”

  Shi Buyi was immediately angered, and when he wanted to do something, Old Man Six Paths suddenly threw in more than ten demonic divine weapons and he said, “All in!”

  The demon gods received a shock and when they looked at Old Man Six Paths with scrutinizing eyes as they thought, This old man looks normal but he’s actually killed so many demon gods? So he is also one that whose hands are filled with blood!

  “Dao Liu, lend me ten demonic divine weapon! Bet on our students!”

  Shi Buyi felt relieved, but at the next moment, his expression turned extremely fierce and he said, “I bet that among the ten remaining Qi Practitioners, my student will be one of them! Who’s betting with me!”

  “Me!”

  “I’ll bet with you!”

  Joy and happiness struck the demon gods and they all quickly placed their bets. In just a blink of an eye, everyone came to an agreement and the Realm Lord Contract was quickly signed. The other gods that failed to place their bets in time were all left frustrated as they felt that they had missed a chance to profit.

  Old Man Six Paths bet the remaining divine weapons and said, “I bet that four out of the ten remaining Qi Practitioners will be our students. Who’s up for this bet?”

  “All four? Such big words, old man! I'm in!”

  The other demon gods felt happy again and they all better. Right away, all types of precious items were betted and the shiny rays illuminated by these items lit up the dark sky.

  Again, everyone signed the Realm Lord Contract.

  The Realm Lord Contract was a contract signed with the name of Realm Lord, once signed, one would be punished by the Realm Lord if that person failed to keep his promise.

  After signing the Realm Lord Contract, the demon gods were all satisfied and they said, “These two retards from nowhere are quite rich!”

  Shi Buyi however, looked at them mockingly and thought, If these fools knew that Zhong Yue was not my student and that even I was afraid of him, I wonder if they would still laugh?

  At the same time in bluish planet, Chan Fangzhen said coldly, “Done talking?”

  Zhong Yue nodded and smiled, “Done, so are you going to attack now?”

  “You knew about this all along?” Chan Fangzhen asked in surprise.

  With a nod, Zhong Yue replied, “When your teacher said all those things, it sounded like he was advising us. But in truth, he was giving you information about us so that you could beat us.”

  “You followed us here in order to kill us. I believe that you already have an idea as to how to deal with us after what your teacher said.”

  Bai Canghai, who finally noticed this said, “No wonder! I felt weird that as to why Chan Dongyuan, who looked nothing like a nice person, actually revealed so much to us! I did not realize that he was actually teaching his student!”

  Qiu Jin’er was the same as Bai Canghai, but Jun Sixie smiled as she also seemed to notice this.

  Zhong Yue laughed and said again, “I told you your weakness just now not to help you, but them. I was telling them the weakness of Prison Realm Qi Practitioner.”

  “Is there any use?”

  Chan Fangzhen replied coldly, “Then why don’t you act now? What’s the point of talking so much if you are not planning to fight!”

  Zhong Yue rejected him and explained, “You are no match for me so may I suggest you to look for another opponent? Ever since I reached this point where I’m standing, barely anyone could provide me a decent challenge anymore; I’ve only ran into one so far and I call him a friend of mine, a Fellow Daoist. There may be someone like that in the Prison Realm but that someone is definitely not you.”

  “I’ve been cultivating for the past four lives….”

  Chan Fangzhen shouted, jumped up and summoned his demonic divine weapon
which looked like a Ruyi scepter, except that it was seven feet long with barbs.

  Such a demonic divine weapon was actually quite rare — it was called the Heavenly Toad Demonic Ruyi.

  Obviously, this was not something Chan Fangzhen could create; it was the weapon of Chan Dongyuan and this divine weapon was forged by the tongue of Chan Dongyuan and demonic jade.

  With the divine weapon in his hand, Chan Fangzhen’s aura spiked, turning even more brutal and his aura caused the rocks around him to float into the air before having them crushed into dust!

  “I am stronger each time I am reborn! In my forth life, I reverse opened all the wheels, achieving the peak state in all the wheels except for the sixth wheel. I even attained the Innate True Spirit!” shouted Chan Fangzhen.

  Chan Fangzhen groaned and five light wheels emerged behind his head; he unleashed his full power and his inner core flew out, forming an inner core force field.

  He stood in the field, cast out his Avatar and the spiritual power surged towards him.

  There was barely anyone in the Ancestral Star who managed to cultivate to this stage!

  “And you dare say I’m no match for you?”

  Chan Fangzhen channeled his power into the Heavenly Toad Demonic Ruyi, trembling the skies as a tint of madness burgeoned within Chan Fangzhen’s eyes. He poured in his energy into the Heavenly Toad Demonic Ruyi without keeping an eye on his own situation; the horrendous demonic power erupted from the Heavenly Toad Demonic Ruyi had already first started to crush his body!

  “The Prison Realm’s Qi Practitioner really is scary!”

  Bai Canghai was amazed and he said, “In order to deliver a killing blow, he went so far that he pushed the power of demonic divine weapon to a point that even his own body couldn't sustain anymore! So dangerous!”

  Qiu Jin’er then whispered, “Senior Martial Brother Bai is cursing someone again….”

  Right away, Bai Canghai steeled his face and corrected her, “I am praising him from the bottom of my heart, this is a sincere compliment!”

  Jun Sixie on the other hand, nodded and said, “And this is the most terrifying part. Did both of you realize that there were way too many openings in him when he surged the power of his demonic divine weapon?”

  Qiu Jin’er and Bai Canghai nodded; the stronger the power of the weapon, the harder it is to control; Chan Fangzhen may not have noticed this yet, but both Qiu Jin’er and Bai Canghai could see that as soon as he moved, countless holes opened in his stance!

  Chan Fangzhen had risked everything, including his own life, for this killing blow.

  He roared and erupted his power, slamming the Heavenly Toad Demonic Ruyi towards Zhong Yue before a mountain somewhere behind Zhong Yue and started to shatter!

  Before the Heavenly Toad Demonic Ruyi reached the expected destination, it’s power had already reached and impacted Zhong Yue!

  At the same time, Zhong Yue pointed his finger towards the Heavenly Toad Demonic Ruyi.

  Zhong Yue’s action was so simple that everything felt incredibly harmonious but suddenly, his finger vanished into thin air.

  On the other side, the power of Heavenly Toad Demonic Ruyi spread everywhere before it disappeared.

  Chan Fangzhen’s face twitched and he looked at Zhong Yue as he said with a sore voice, “You said you have a Fellow Daoist? Can you please tell me what kind of person upi would consider as a Fellow Daoist?”

  “Someone who can improve with me, someone who will not be killed by me and most importantly, someone who is good.” replied Zhong Yue.

  Chan Fangzhen retrieved the Heavenly Toad Demonic Ruyi back and his figure trembled as he stood there before finally letting out a final breath. The light in his eyes faded and he said, “You killed me with just one finger. This is something only a god can do, you are no mortal. Seems like I won’t be able to become one of your Fellow Daoists….”

  As soon as he done talking, a finger pierced through his brain, then his psyche ocean, dispersing his energy and killing his Yuan Shen.

  Then, as Zhong Yue retracted his hand back, the finger also disappeared.

  This attack of his was very simple; his finger pierced through space before it appeared in front of Chan Fangzhen and destroyed him!

  And this was something only a god could do!

  From Chan Fangzhen’s point of view, Zhong Yue was already so strong, so how was it possible that there would be someone as strong as him?

  Meanwhile, on the altar outside of twin planets, Chan Dongyuan was stunned and suddenly, he let out an angry roar as he shouted, “My student is dead? He was killed by those retards!?”

  ……

  TN:

  Ruyi is a kind of Chinese ceremonial scepter.

  Also, I should’ve explained this earlier. A Fellow Daoist is someone who is on par with you in certain aspects, a friend/acquaintance whose ability you respect. A rather complicated and yet close relation usually occurs between two ally and or opponents.

  Chapter 615: Arts Against Arts, Skills Against Skills |

  The demon gods’ faces stiffened up, and the ambiance grew suffocating. Zhong Yue had merely just raised a finger to kill Chan Fangzhen; such prowess was already within the realm of gods!

  What would become of the competition if a demon god were one of the participants?

  Although Shi Buyi was shocked as well, it was not surprising at all. It took them four years to arrive here from the Ancestral Star, and during these four years, Zhong Yue didn’t waste even a single second.

  Achieving the Imminent Deity level was beyond guaranteed for him, but he had been suppressing his cultivation base because he had no intention of ascending into the next level without cultivating the Innate True Soul.

  He was literally just a step away from achieving the Innate True Soul, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier coming from the heaven and earth that stopped him from achieving it.

  However, there was no doubt that he was already in the domain of the gods as he had clearly demonstrated the qualities of a god—cutting through space.

  The ability to cut through space was a clear line that divided the Qi Practitioners and gods.

  Demigods could break into the void but couldn’t cut through it. For example, Zhong Yue had pulled out a godly spirit from the space rift in the Divine Battlefield.

  Whereas the ability to break into the void and cut out through another end could only be achieved by the gods!

  Hence, it was evident to the demon gods that Zhong Yue had the prowess of a god!

  “Shi Buyi, is he really your disciple?” Chan Dongyuan’s face turned gloomy as he said frigidly, “He is not weaker than you at all!”

  Shi Buyi felt helpless deep in his heart but maintained his calm expression as he answered, “It’s fairly common for the disciple to surpass his teacher, is it not?”

  “A True Spirit Qi Practitioner who possessed godlike powers, even the Sun Moon Twin Spirits couldn’t have done it! Such a talent, do you think I will believe that you are the one that taught him?”

  Shi Buyi’s face quickly turned solemn, “He is really my disciple, I can swear to the Realm Lord! If I’m lying, I will never be able to reborn for eternity!”

  The demon gods were moved by his bold oath before soon commenting, “If he dares to make such a grave vow, then he must be telling the truth!”

  Indeed, Shi Buyi was not lying at all. Zhong Yue had personally picked up the identity of Long Yue early on and was taken in as Shi Buyi’s closed-door disciple. It was only after he cultivated the【Mystic Duplication Technique】that he created a dragon incarnation to take over as Long Yue.

  Either way, it was no lie that Zhong Yue was his disciple, which was why he even dared to make such a vow in the first place.

  “He is strong enough to be in the top ten.” An old demon god said in a quivering voice, “Seems like our Little Friend Shi Buyi here is going to win.”

  What? Master Zhong’s godlike power is not even the strongest?

&n
bsp; Shi Buyi was shocked and he exclaimed, “Are there still cultivators stronger than him?”

  “Without doubt.” The same old demon god replied, “The Left Fang Galaxy has many talented Qi Practitioners as well. The strongest and most talented one is Li Tianxing. Other than him, there is also a reincarnated demon emperor, the Reverse Emperor, who had reaped an uncountable number of lives. Even the Realm Lord treats him as an equal. He only reincarnated because his life was running out. Emerald Heaven Dharma King even said that he is strong enough to compete with the other Six Paths Worlds’ experts.”

  Shi Buyi’s heart tensed up.

  “There is also a pair of twins, Bi and An, they had already reincarnated nine times.” The old god lowered his head and continued, “These two are really incredible, every time they reincarnate, they will always be reborn as a pair of twins. They might be a greater force altering their fate so that they are always reborn as twins. Even the Emerald Heaven Dharma King has shown incredible favor toward them; he once drunkenly said that they are possibly two strong gods from a higher world that descended onto the lower realms to experience a hundred lives. An ancient ritual known as the Renascence Within A Hundred Tribulations. Every reincarnation was a new round of tribulation. As for who this pair exactly are, and what kind of cultivation they possess... even the Dharma King doesn’t dare to think guess.”

  Shi Buyi was even more shocked.

  On the other hand, a demon god said, “Other than them, there is also the Emerald Heaven Dharma King’s most treasured son, Prince Shi Yun. Although he is the reincarnated crown prince, Emerald Heaven Dharma King still took him as his son, showering him with unlimited resources. The other nine experts might fall out from the list of top ten, but Prince Shi Yun will definitely be on the list!”
