Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  All of a sudden, Zhong Yue’s heartbeat spiked for a split second. He stood up and looked into the distance. Behind the mountains were the sounds of tiger roars and dragon whistles as giant images of various beasts were hurling the mountains aside.

  “What a skill!” Zhong Yue was moved and he praised. These giant beasts were no more than the visual effects of some marvelous skill!

  Then, he saw a young man donned in exquisite clothes walking over from the path cleared by the giant beasts. The newcomer carried himself like royalty, with his head slightly tilted up into the sky.

  Zhong Yue hardened his face, he said, “Zhong Shan Clan, Zhong Yue.”

  The young man stopped, his voice was so low and deep that it pressured the air around, “Prince Shi Yun!”

  Chapter 617: 【God Slaying Three Styles】 |

  “They’ve encountered Prince Shi Yun already?”

  The demonic gods were all stunned; Prince Shi Yun was the son of Emerald Heaven Dharma King in the previous life and after he was reborn, Prince Shi Yun was taken in as Emerald Heaven Dharma King’s son again. Be it precious herbs, weapons, or cultivation arts, Emerald Heaven Dharma King would give him.

  Emerald Heaven Dharma King even used his own resources to bribe the judge in Six Path Reincarnation, spending a great deal of his fortune to have Prince Shi Yun reborn with a high-level bloodline in the Myriad Realm.

  Myriad Realm’s bloodline might have been complicated as every races were living here; there could be the highest level celestial bloodline or even the lowest level human and monster bloodline. In most cases, those powerful people living in the Prison and Elemental Realm would actually bribe these judges in Six Path Reincarnation to be reborn into the Myriad Realm to obtain a good bloodline.

  Though the higher ups knew about this, they would not really bother with these people as long as these people who were reborn returned to their original realms.

  Thus, as soon as Prince Shi Yun was reborn, he was brought back to the Prison Realm.

  Rumours said that Prince Shi Yun’s new bloodline belonged to lineage that was only a level below the royal bloodline.

  And Prince Shi Yun did not fail his father, far surpassing his strength in his previous life to become one of the strongest Qi Practitioners in the entire Left Fang Galaxy!

  Although the demonic gods acknowledged Prince Shi Yun as one of the top ten strongest Qi Practitioner in Left Fang Galaxy was partly because of his father, Prince Shi Yun himself was also terrifyingly strong.

  “Now, Zhong Yue is dead for sure be it even if he won.”

  A demonic god said, “If he loses, he will be killed by Prince Shi Yun but if he wins, he would have to face the wrath of Emerald Heaven Dharma King. Perhaps, it’s better that he runs away now!”

  “There are many who dares to kill Prince Shi Yun in the Left Fang Galaxy, for example, the students of Emerald Heaven Dharma King’s enemies, but this is not an easy thing to be done.”

  The other gods agreed to what he said, but nobody noticed Shi Buyi’s worried expression.

  At the same time, in the blue planet, Zhong Yue’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, “Shall we?”

  Prince Shi Yun however, said emotionlessly, “Please hold on for a moment.”

  Shua—

  Suddenly, a shadow plunged at Prince Shi Yun’s back. It was a demon Imminent Deity Qi Practitioner that was attempting to assassinate Prince Shi Yun!

  This demigod’s technique was very strange; as he moved, blood shadows appeared and caused everyone’s Yuan Shen to become turbulent with their shrill wails.

  Prince Shi Yun did not stop him, and he allowed these blood shadows to enter his body and he said, “You are Blood Demon Ancestor’s student, Xue Xueyi?”

  The【Blood Shadow Demon Art】, also named the【Blood Shadow Yuan Shen Demon Art】, was a very strange technique; each of these blood shadows were a portion of Yuan Shen, they would enter someone’s body and siphon their energy, blood, and psyche until they were dead. Then, these shadows would return to the master along with the energy they absorbed.

  A translucent Xue Xueyi appeared; he moved around quickly and said, “Prince Shi Yun, my teacher ordered me to take your life! Pardon me!”

  Soon, the blood shadows in Prince Shi Yun were done absorbing Prince Shi Yun’ power and started flying back towards Xue Xueyi, feeding the energy back to Xue Xueyi.

  At the same time, even more shadows flew out and with lighting speed, entering Prince Shi Yun’s body and returning back to Xue Xueyi.

  Surprisingly, Prince Shi Yun did not do anything and he suddenly said, “Your absorption speed is too slow, let me help you!”

  Hong long—

  In an instant, Prince Shi Yun’s power surged and a tremendous amount of energy rushed towards Xue Xueyi!

  “I will not kill you with my hands. You are not worthy!” Prince Shi Yun said calmly.

  He then said again, “You are too weak, I am interested in seeing how someone as weak as you will try to withstand my power.”

  Prince Shi Yun’s power surged Xue Xueyi while the latter’s blood shadows lost control; with Prince Shi Yun’s support, their absorption speed had increased dramitically.

  Xue Xueyi’s body and Yuan Shen immediately swelled as the siphoned power charged into him, inflating him into a huge balloon!

  In an instant, Xue Xueyi was already at his limit but it felt like Prince Shi Yun face saw no change in his calm expression.

  “Scary….”

  Bai Canghai murmured, “This is not something on the level of a Qi Practitioner, it is already on the godly level. What race is he from?”

  Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er seemed to agree; for even a demigod to be unable to withstand such power; wouldn’t Prince Shi Yun’s power need to be as strong as a god’s!

  None of those celestial races in Ancestral Star could possess such immense power, which meant that this Prince Shi Yun was some higher level celestial race whose bloodline power was on par with the Bi Xie Celestial Race!

  The startled and scared Xue Xueyi immediately had the idea of running away but at the next moment, the power of Prince Shi Yun immobilized him on the spot, preventing him from running away.

  Xue Xueyi’s body continued to expand and suddenly, a loud explosion occurred, blood and flesh started raining from the skies as Xue Xueyi exploded!

  The blood and flesh then turned into countless huge beasts that suddenly flew back into Prince Shi Yun’s body.

  Then, when everything turned calm, Prince Shi Yun only remarked, “Weakling.”

  “Senior martial brother, be careful!”

  Qiu Jin’er got tensed up and she said, “His power capacity is on par with yours! You must not take him lightly!”

  Bai Canghai’s expression was also very serious and he said, “She’s right!”

  “On par with you?”

  Prince Shi Yun looked at Zhong Yue mockingly and he asked, “I was reborn into the Azure Dragon Celestial Race and cultivated into the Immiment Deity peak state. What race are you from, if I may ask?”

  “Human.” replied Zhong Yue.

  “Human?

  Prince Shi Yun was surprised and he said, “A lowly race actually managed to reach such such a stage? To be able to be on par with the Azure Dragon Celestial Race? What a joke! The Azure Dragon Celestial Race is just a level below the royal races. With our talent, we could achieve any Peak State in any levels, what advantages do you humans have?”

  “Nothing.”

  Zhong Yue replied, “But humans are the proudest race in the universe, once our bloodline and potential is fully unleashed, we will be strongest race.”

  “The proudest race? I’ll just pretend it that I didn’t hear this, but if you say this in front of others, you will only humiliate yourself.” replied Prince Shi Yun.

  He then said again, “I thought you were a decent foe and wanted to fight against you fair and square. You looked strong enough to give me a decent challenge and after killing you, I will kill
Bi and An, challenge Li Tianxing and Reverse Emperor. But I never thought you are the puniest human race. Now, come at me with all you’ve got, I will let you attack three times first before I kill you.”

  “Three times?”

  Zhong Yue kept quiet for a moment and nodded, “Alright.”

  Prince Shi Yun awaited Zhong Yue to attack while Zhong Yue took in a long breath and he said calmly, “My soul weapon is my saber, I’ve been dwelling in the saber arts in these four years and I created three attacks which I called the【God Slaying Three Styles】.”

  Right away, Prince Shi Yun burst out laughter and he mocked, “Using a saber as your soul weapon? You humans are indeed humans, to think that you actually use such a heavy and unwieldy weapon… Now, shall we?”

  Zhong Yue walked forward and as soon as his feet landed on the ground, the earth shook, mountains shattered, lighting fell and his strength created sparks within the void!

  He was so strong that a simple move from him would create supernatural phenomenal!

  And the raw power he displayed was countless times stronger than Prince Shi Yun!

  “This is the first strike,【Sun Burst】.”

  Zhong Yue stretched out his hands in the air as if he was holding a saber with immense presence and it felt like the moon, sun and the galaxy was circling around the unseen saber!

  Prince Shi Yun’s expression changed rapidly; before Zhong Yue’s saber appeared, the presence of the saber had already impacted Prince Shi Yun greatly and his Azure Dragon Yuan Shen barely escaped the wrath of the saber’s presence!

  S...sooo strong! Can I really withstand three attacks like this from him?

  As soon as he thought of this, Zhong Yue twisted his waist, swung the saber towards him and in Zhong Yue’s hands was the Solar Divine Saber; a gigantic sun appeared in the air and as Zhong Yue swung the saber, the sun moved as well.

  Prince Shi Yun initially wanted to let Zhong Yue attack first, but now, the situation turned sour in the blink of an eye and he had no choice but to retaliate, or he would be killed.

  A roar was heard and countless gigantic beasts appeared, all leaping into the sky and charging towards the descending sun.

  Hong long—

  The sun suddenly turned even brighter; sunlight spread across the field in a cone shape. The sunlight was formed by countless of sword rays; each sunlight was a slash attack and when the sunlights merged together, an explosion occurred!

  The first style of the【God Slaying Three Styles】,【Sun Burst】was just as bright and impactful as the sun!

  Hong—

  Prince Shi Yun let out a screech after he forcefully stopped the attack; although he looked very pale, there were no signs of wounds on him.

  “Is he farting?”

  Bai Canghai shouted immediately, “He said he would let Senior Martial Brother Zhong to attack first but he attacked almost instantly! Prince Shi Yun, I dare you to keep your words!”

  Zhong Yue however, shook his head, sheathed his saber and said, “Brother Bai, it’s fine.”

  “Why?” asked a confused Bai Canghai.

  “Because he is already dead.”

  Chapter 618: Fury of the Dharma King |

  “Prince Shi Yun is already dead?”

  Bai Canghai lost his voice while Qiu Jin’er and Jun Sixie who were also caught by surprise quickly looked at Prince Shi Yun who remained standing with no wounds on him at all.

  Prince Shi Yun’s aura still seemed incredibly vibrant, and the totem carvings formed by his powerful psyche and energy were still circling around his body.

  However, Qiu Jin’er and the other two quickly noticed something weird; though there was no wound, there was a tiny crack on the totem carvings that sliced them apart from top to bottom!

  “Why is there no wound?”

  Bai Canghai asked curiously, “So how is he killed?”

  With a regretful tone, Zhong Yue replied, “If he was not that arrogant, he could’ve put up some resistance before getting killed by me. But he insisted on allowing me to attack first. By the time he wanted to act, it was too late; during these past four years, I’ve reached a level where wherever the presence of my saber appear, my attacks will appear at that same spot at the same time.”

  “Then where are his injuries?” asked Bai Canghai.

  “In his Yuan Shen.”

  Zhong Yue walked forward and the others quickly followed; they reached Prince Shi Yun’s back, and Zhong Yue pointed to the light wheels behind Prince Shi Yun’s head and said, “Take a look.”

  The three of them quickly looked towards the part Zhong Yue pointed at and they finally realized the almost invisible crack in the five light wheels that they would’ve missed had Zhong Yue not pointed it out to him.

  They shivered as they knew how scary the crack was; it tore apart Prince Shi Yun’s five great Yuan Shen Secret Realm and sliced them apart!

  They then turned to the Yuan Shen, they also found out Prince Shi Yun’s totem carvings were all sliced apart!

  As they continued to examine Prince Shi Yun’s body, and they discovered, to their horror, that Prince Shi Yun’s energy was also slashed apart by Zhong Yue/ Jun Sixie also discovered that his psyche ocean was destroyed

  On top of the psyche ocean was an Azure Dragon God who had a crack in the middle of his forehead, chest, back and bottom half of his body.

  The presence of the saber from Zhong Yue’s attack invaded the Yuan Shen of Prince Shi Yun before the Solar Divine Saber slashed him in half; while there was no injury on the outside, Prince Shi Yun’s Yuan Shen was already destroyed!

  “His inner core is also cut apart!” exclaimed Qiu Jin’er.

  “His True Spirit as well.” said Jun Sixie next.

  The trio immediately shivered again as they thought of Zhong Yue’s attack where the tip of the saber would appear at the same time with the presence of the saber. This meant that as soon as someone felt the presence of the saber near them, it was already too late!

  “Brother Zhong, what is the name of this first strike?” asked Bai Canghai.

  Zhong Yue replied, “【Sun Burst】.”

  “When you see the【Sun Burst】, the attack will already be there. What a nice skill, how nice! Prince Shi Yun was too arrogant to give such big words; he was not as strong as you and he still wanted to let you attack first. In the end, he accomplished nothing but threw his life away.” said Bai Canghai.

  “One should try to gain the upper hand against the enemy; no one should ever give any chances to the opponent even if the other was stronger.”

  Zhong Yue laughed and said again, “Two equally strong Qi Practitioners would probably have the outcome of the battle decided in one strike so you must all always remember that you have to be alert, do not let your guard down or even let your opponent to act first.”

  Jun Sixie then praised while Qiu Jin’er nodded, “Junior martial brother, your battle sense has reached an incredible height.”

  The trio continued examining Prince Shi Yun’s Yuan Shen, and they tried their best to study and learn the knowledge, wisdom and intelligence Zhong Yue had used in this battle.

  They all let their psyche run free and ran a simulation in their mind to gauge how they would respond against Zhong Yue’s attack.

  Besides, it was also very beneficial for them to learn more about Prince Shi Yun’s Yuan Shen; though he was killed by Zhong Yue, the strength Prince Shi Yun possessed was far stronger than theirs.

  They proceeded to raid the secret realms of Prince Shi Yun, obtaining a huge variety of precious items, including herbs, godly materials, and other rare items.

  This Prince Shi Yun must be from a great faction.

  Bai Canghai suddenly thought and he said, “He must be someone from a mighty clan or he wouldn't be so rich!”

  Zhong Yue too, realized this and he said as he frowned, “But I did not destroy his soul, I’ve left some room for survival for him.”

  “But I am afraid that the one supporting him won’t l
et this slide so easily.” Jun Sixie shook her head and said, “If my student got killed, even if he were reborn in the next life, I will still definitely have the murderer pay for what he did.”

  To her surprise, Zhong Yue laughed and said, “Senior martial sister, since when did you start worrying so much?”

  Jun Sixie immediately realized something and she said with mixed emotion, “I’ve really been overthinking recently but I can’t help it because it all started when I became the headmaster. At that time, I have been constantly thinking, afraid of making mistakes and trying my best not to bring Swords Gate into the abyss. No wonder I felt my progress stagnated lately, I gave myself too much pressure and this pressure became an obstacle to me.”

  They continued to study the body and Yuan Shen of Prince Shi Yoon and this time, Zhong Yue involved himself and he too, learnt something new from Prince Shi Yun.

  Zhong Yue opened up his celestial eyes and as he examined the body of Prince Shi Yun, he realized that the root of the totem carvings of Prince Shi Yun was the Leize Clan’s innate totem carvings.

  No wonder Prince Shi Yun Possessed strength far greater than the Kun Peng Celestial Race, a race that is known for their condensed energy and blood essence capacity. The Azure Dragon Celestial Race managed to outperform them because of the Lei Zhe Clan’s totem carving.

  The Leize innate totem carvings in Prince Shi Yun was even purer than the Ancestral Star’s Eastern Sea’s dragons, and his bloodline was also purer as well, making it a very intriguing specimen to research.

  Upon encountering problems and questions beyond his comprehension, Zhong Yue would instantly retrieve the answers he wanted using his scale mirror.

  While they examined and studied Prince Shi Yun, the gods outside of the twin planets were all terrified, not having the slightest clue on what to do.

  Although Zhong Yue’s strike that had slain Prince Shi Yun effortlessly had amazed them, the person that was killed was Prince Shi Yun!

  Prince Shi Yun was the son of Emerald Heaven Dharma King in his previous life! After he was reborn again, Emerald Heaven Dharma King went through a whole lot of troubles just to send him into the Myriad Realm to become one of the Azure Dragon Celestial Race. He also spent countless precious items and herbs just to cultivate Prince Shi Yun to secure a bright future for him. Emerald Heaven Dharma King had spent way too much on Prince Shi Yun, and he had high hopes on Prince Shi Yun. But now, Prince Shi Yun was killed by Zhong Yue in just one strike!
