Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  The blood rays in the Reverse Emperor’s eyes billowed like an ocean, if one looked deeper, there were even the images of godly corpses undulating on the blood ocean in his eyes. He gave a cold sneer and said, “You dare to challenge me? Young child, you are strong, but you are still far from my stage. Don’t be too arrogant just because you created a few strong skills. Do you think I don’t have skills that can counter yours, skills that are stronger than yours? You are still too inexperienced, you need to see more and learn more, but you’ll have plenty of time to do that in your next life!”

  Zhong Yue laughed back aloud, he placed his hands on the back and said placidly, “Reverse Emperor, you just said that the Emerald Heaven Dharma King is too temperamental, but you don’t seem to be any better than her. Millions of gods died and their blood essence has been sucked into your blood ocean, but that is all you can do. Your kind will never go far even if you’ve lived a thousand lives!”

  Reverse Emperor’s pupils shrunk to needle points; the blood ocean burst out behind him, and the tides rose over a thousand feet high above the ground while the godly corpses undulating in the waves. The Reverse Emperor leaned back and a throne covered in blood emerged. The countless godly corpses floating on the blood ocean’s surface burst out laughing before they all stood up and said together, “Brat, you’re still spouting such nonsense? Do you know that nothing can stop Reverse Emperor if he wants to kill you!? Even people like us were killed by him, not to mention someone as weak as you! Now, come, come join us in this happy carnival!”

  With his trademark calmness, Zhong Yue replied, “Reverse Emperor, I suppose you can do something more than just this?”

  On the other hand, on the throne surrounded by undeads, Reverse Emperor plunged into the air and jumped towards Zhong Yue!

  Bai Canghai’s face changed drastically and exclaimed in shock, “This old brat is strong! Brother Zhong is in trouble!”

  Chapter 622: The【Eye of Burying Emperor】 |

  Jun Sixie’s and Qiu Jin’er’s eyes brightened up, they mumbled, “Senior Martial Brother Bai is unleashing his power!”

  “Just a mere Curse Spirit Body, and you dare go against me?” Reverse Emperor didn’t pay much attention to him. The blood ocean surged all over the place, deluging the air with the stench of blood and filling the sky with his killing intent!

  The blood ocean contained the resentment of those that he’s killed, even a fully awakened Curse Spirit Body wouldn’t be able to penetrate through these resentments and curses directly, let alone Bai Canghai who had yet to master his innate talent.

  As a reincarnated demon emperor, although he was not yet a god now, his power was definitely in the realm of the gods!

  In the face of the resentments within the blood ocean, Bai Canghai’s Curse Spirit Body couldn’t even bring any harm to him.

  Reverse Emperor rushed down from the throne, but it wasn’t Zhong Yue who he has heading toward. Instead, he was charging for Bai Canghai, Jun Sixie, and Qiu Jin’er with the intent to tear them into pieces!

  The three victims’ heart gripped in terror; they felt as though there was a strong will pinning them down on the ground and stopping them from even moving an inch away!

  Whereas in their eyes, Reverse Emperor turned out to be a giant god in control of their lives and well being!

  Now that they were directly facing Reverse Emperor, they caught a clear glimpse of a godlike Qi Practitioner’s strength. They didn’t feel much when Zhong Yue cleared the field with the swing of a saber since the attack was not directed at them. But now, they were experiencing the exact terror that the dead Qi Practitioners felt before they were killed by Zhong Yue!

  Right at that moment, Zhong Yue raised both of his hands, clenched onto blank space, twisted his waist, and abruptly brought his hands down in a slashing motion!

  First style of the【God Slaying Three Styles】,【Sun Burst】!

  Saber will from the Solar Divine Saber blasted out like the lights of a sun, gushing toward Reverse Emperor!

  Reverse Emperor laughed loudly, his fast-moving pace suddenly stopped, turned around in less than a split second, and countered Zhong Yue’s saber will with his blood-lustering killing intent!

  “Your saber will and saber light are forged into one, your weapon is your skill and also your art. But what a shame, not even your incredible divine saber will can cut through my killing intent, and neither can your saber get close to me!”

  The saber will and killing intent clashed together, causing the dimensional space around to tremble and small slits of space rifts emerged around them!

  As soon as the tiny space rifts emerged, the stability of the superimposed magnetic field was disrupted, causing some of the Solar Cosmic Rays and Metamagnet Divine Sabers to leak into the field. However, the magnetic fields were strong enough to balance themselves, and recover the space rifts before any significant damage.

  The Reverse Emperor let out a loud whistle, he stretched his hand back and pulled out a bloody axe from the raging blood ocean.

  As the Blood Axe was pulled out, the godly corpses in the blood ocean pounced into the axe head and infused themselves into the axe.

  Immediately, the faces of the dead gods began to emerge across the axe head, groaning in pain and pleading for blood to ease their endless torment!

  These gods were those he had killed during his past lives to forge his weapon!

  The Reverse Emperor was definitely a butcher with countless lives killed dead by his hands.

  “Young boy of the Zhong Shan Clan, your weapon is still like an infant compared to mine!” Reverse Emperor laughed loudly and swung the axe like a blood whirlwind!

  Zhong Yue’s face changed drastically, he surged his psyche out and brought Jun Sixie and the others into his Yuan Shen secret realms. As soon as he ensured their safety, the blood ray flashed past right where they stood just a second ago.

  The skill Reverse Emperor cast was also a great skill that congregated his soul weapon, psyche, and arcane energy!

  The blood ray that was slashed toward Jun Sixie and the others were just repercussions, but still strong enough to kill all three of them.

  Meanwhile, Zhong Yue, who directly faced the attack watched as the Blood Axe chopped down over.

  At the same time, there was also a Blood Axe that appeared in his psyche ocean cutting down at his Yuan Shen!

  This Blood Axe was formed by Reverse Emperor’s battle will and killing intent; if one focused only on blocking the soul weapon, their Yuan Shen would be killed by the Blood Axe formed within his psyche ocean!

  This was the marvelous use of the battle will and killing intent; when they grew strong enough to the point where qualitative changes occured, they would be able to directly strike one’s psyche ocean and Yuan Shen!

  Zhong Yue’s【Moon Tide】was a perfect example. Although the Prison Realm experts had no saber wounds on their body, his saber will had already killed their Yuan Shen!

  Killing with the saber will was still a new art to Zhong Yue, but for the likes of the Reverse Emperor, it was just like any basic attacks!

  Immediately, Zhong Yue visualized the Sui Sovereign, the Sui Tree in front of the Fire Order Palace shot its branches out toward the Blood Axe.

  At the same time, Zhong Yue abruptly pulled out the Metamagnet Divine Saber, and the vigorous Metamagnet Divine Rays burst out toward Reverse Emperor, disrupting his blood essence!

  Then, the Metamagnet Divine Saber and Blood Axe clashed together, the saber will and killing intent blasted on their faces!

  “【Celestial Demon Yi】!” Zhong Yue opened his palm, and the Solar Divine Saber morphed into a【Tai Chi Art】that stopped the Blood Axe, while the Metamagnet Divine Saber rushed for Reverse Emperor.

  Reverse Emperor stretched his hand back to the blood ocean. The Blood Axe consumed half of the blood ocean when it was taken out; and now, the other half of the blood ocean was sucked away, forming a banner.

  Hu—

  Reverse E
mperor raised the Blood Banner in front of him, and Zhong Yue could clearly hear the cries of tormented souls coming within the bloody banner.

  It fluttered along in the wind, sucking all of Zhong Yue’s attacks away without taking any damage.

  Reverse Emperor raised the Blood Banner high up into the sky, and a strong gale of wind swept across the place while Reverse Emperor said frigidly, “Naive child of the Zhong Shan Clan, show me the third style of your【God Slaying Three Styles】, let’s see whether you can really slay a god!”

  The Blood Banner fluttered violently, and Zhong Yue could feel his arcane energy, psyche, and Yuan Shen was getting sucked out from him!

  Even his blood essence and mortal body was affected as well!

  As for inside of the superimposed magnetic field, the flesh of the dead Qi Practitioners fell off from the corpses and were sucked away by the banner, leaving only a floor of bones!

  Even so, after consuming the flesh of the dead Qi Practitioners, the Blood Banner was still trying to suck away Zhong Yue’s flesh and essence!

  As Zhong Yue was occupied by the Blood Banner, Reverse Emperor guffawed jubilantly and dashed forward with two hands clenching on the Blood Axe. He swung the axe down, and the blood rays separated to the sides as if an eye was opening in the blank space.

  “Reverse Emperor’s renowned skill, the【Eye of Burying Emperor】.” Bi suddenly said, “It was said that countless gods were killed under his【Eye of Burying Emperor】. Judging by the name of the skill, I thought it’d be a divine eye skill, who would’ve known that its actually a skill for his Blood Axe.”

  An nodded, “A strong skill indeed.”

  The blood rays opened like eyelids, and the Blood Axe slashed out from the middle like an axe coming out from the giant eye.

  Rays flashed across Zhen Yao’s eyes as she looked at the【Eye of Burying Emperor】, she said, “The human is still too inexperienced, he shouldn’t have challenged Reverse Emperor in the first place.”

  “No, the human didn’t challenge him. It was Reverse Emperor that wanted to kill him. That undying demon is trying to show his strength to us.” Li Tianxing answered placidly, “He is telling us that even though he has reincarnated, that even without his previous life’s prowess, divine weapons and treasures, he is still strong enough to kill anyone of us. He wants to be feared by us.”

  Zhen Yao, Bi and An hardened their hearts and nodded. Reverse Emperor died by the hand of an overwhelming figure, and his soul entered the Six Paths Reincarnations to be reincarnated. However, his past life’s treasures had long been plundered by the Prison Realm experts, he was left with nothing else but his past life experiences.

  Although the Prison Realm Qi Practitioners were still in awe at the reincarnated demon emperor, they weren’t too afraid of him anymore. Thus, Reverse Emperor was taking the opportunity to show his strength to the world that despite him starting all over again, he was still the invincible demon emperor!

  Ching—

  The saber light blinded the sky.

  Zhong Yue’s power was greatly restrained by the Blood Banner, but the【Sun Burst】was nevertheless still a marvelous skill with appalling power!

  The saber and axe clashed together, Zhong Yue muffled a deep groan and blood trickled out of his mouth. All of a sudden, the Solar Divine Saber turned into a saber scabbard where he pulled the Metamagnet Divine Saber out from, and slashed it down while casting the【Moon Tide】to counter the Blood Axe’s【Eye of Burying Emperor】.

  Then, the saber scabbard turned back into the Solar Divine Saber, and he swung it down at Reverse Emperor while casting the【Sun Burst】.

  Reverse Emperor quickly dashed to the back of the Blood Banner while the Solar Divine Saber sliced halfway through the banner before stopping.

  Right after, the Solar Divine Saber turned into a saber scabbard again. Zhong Yue pulled the Metamagnet Divine Saber out from it and the【Moon Tide】continued slashing down along the cut on the Blood Banner!

  The cut grew bigger from the strike, nearly breaking the Blood Banner apart. Then, the saber scabbard turned back into the Solar Divine Saber, and Zhong Yue cast the【Sun Burst】down along the cut on the Blood Banner!

  This time, the Solar Divine Saber managed to cut through the banner and broke it apart!

  Zhong Yue took a step forward, the Solar Divine Saber turned back into a saber scabbard and he pulled the Metamagnet Divine Saber out again, once again casting the【Moon Tide】at Reverse Emperor!

  He was rotating the【Sun Burst】and【Moon Tide】as though they were one single skill. The Solar Divine Saber would slash out as【Sun Burst】, then turn into the scabbard where the Metamagnet Divine Saber would be pulled out from and cast as【Moon Tide】!

  “Not bad, not bad!” Reverse Emperor laughed loudly and swung the Blood Axe over. It was so strong that the impact force sent Zhong Yue flying back while spurting blood out from his mouth.

  “Not too bad!” Reverse Emperor moved forward with his Blood Axe while the broken banner joined back together. He laughed and asked, “Are you still not going to use the third style of your【God Slaying Three Styles】? If you don’t, I’ll send you to death in no time!”

  “There is no need for the third style!” Zhong Yue regained his balance, his eyes flashed with a subtle light before he suddenly swung the saber down!

  Crack—

  The superimposed magnetic field was struck off its equilibrium, and the Solar Cosmic Rays and Metamagnet Divine Rays flooded toward them in the turbulence.

  Zhong Yue raised the sabers in front of him while the Solar Cosmic Rays and Metamagnet Divine Rays rushed into the sabers.

  “These two styles are more than enough to end you!”

  Chapter 623: Beheaded! |

  The extreme state of the Heavenly Dharma level was to strengthen the cultivator’s power with the power of heaven and earth!

  However, it wasn’t the power of heaven and earth that Zhong Yue was utilizing now, it was the divine rays of the three suns.

  He broke the equilibrium of the superimposed magnetic fields to let the divine rays in so that his sabers could absorb the divine rays and grow to beyond its limits.

  It truth, Zhong Yue was weaker than the Reverse Emperor. Although their arts and skills seemed to be on par with one another, Reverse Emperor’s control over his attacks were superior to Zhong Yue’s over his own.

  After all, Reverse Emperor was an emperor in his past life, there was plenty of time for him to hone his arts and skills. Moreover, his experience and knowledge was simply beyond Zhong Yue’s current reach.

  Zhong Yue was already at his best performance when he cast a seamless flow of【Sun Burst】and【Moon Tiede】; but even so, Reverse Emperor was able to break them away.

  Reverse Emperor’s arcane energy and cultivation base was stronger than his, and in addition to his extensive experience, Zhong Yue wouldn’t be able to defeat him even with the third style!

  However, he had a distinct advantage right here right now—the solar storms were happening, and they were at the center of it all!

  The burning sunfire flared all everywhere, but all he could feel was a warm comfort. The sunfire was deadly to the others, but for a cultivator of the Innate Golden Crow True Spirit, it was a source of energy for him!

  In his hands, the two divine sabers grew stronger.

  “Six wheels, open!” Zhong Yue shouted, his blood essence burst out vigorously and the six Yuan Shen secret realms opened behind him.

  “The sixth wheel!” Li Tianxing’s eyes flared brightly as he stared at Zhong Yue’s sixth light wheel, this was the first time his expression faltered.

  Even when Zhong Yue slaughtered the Qi Practitioners with the【Moon Tide】, the young demon only expressed distant admiration. However, the fact that Zhong Yue had opened the sixth wheel couldn’t help but cause his emotions to shudder.

  Although the Prison Realm had a complete Six Paths Reincarnations, the number of Qi Practitioners who could open the six
th Yuan Shen secret realm was still incredibly rare. Those who had were usually spared and brought out from the Prison Realm to the higher realms like the Heaven Realm, Earth, or even the Celestial Realm. Moreover, one might even be talented enough to be selected as a disciple of the greater figures from the Zi Wei Imperial Star.

  Before this, Li Tianxing was the only known cultivator with the sixth Yuan Shen secret realm.

  Zhong Yue’s blood essence billowed violently, the Nine Revolving Inner Core flew out and his third eye opened with a sun and Innate Golden Crow True Spirit in his first divine eye, and a moon and the Innate Star Toad True Spirit in his second divine eye.

  As he now cast everything he had, the power of the two sabers doubled instantly!

  The Reverse Emperor’s face grew solemn and he suddenly moved; with Zhong Yue now leveraging the force of the solar storms, he was already strong enough to pose a great threat to him!

  After all, the solar storms were far too strong for a cultivator to handle, even a slight surge of it would be able to threaten his life!

  As of now, the sunfire, Solar Cosmic Rays and Metamagnet Divine Rays were scattered all around them. In the midst of the sunfire, Reverse Emperor dashed forward while his body started morphing.

  A smaller body of his own suddenly grew out from the top of his head, like a mini Reverse Emperor above him.

  It was the Immortal Body!

  Clearly, the Reverse Emperor had also cultivated an art like the Immortal Body that allowed the mortal body to morph and change forms!

  The mini Reverse Emperor on his head held on the Blood Banner and swung it heavily, using the Blood Banner to hinder Zhong Yue’s blood essence and power.

  Whereas the Reverse Emperor clenched on the Blood Axe and brought it down in a slashing motion with great battling will. It was an ancient skill with unparalleled strength, so strong that all who dared to stand against it should be sentenced to death!

  It wasn’t just a skill, it was the resemblance of the demon emperor’s undefiable will!
