Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  Meanwhile, after the heavenly general entered the sacred ground and notified the guards about his mission here, he was brought into the sacred ground.

  Not long later, he was greeted by a giant that dwarfed him like an ant. This giant looked down onto the ground at this heavenly general and said, “Your Highness made you come here, why?”

  Upon being stared at by this giant, the heavenly general felt the pressure on his shoulders intensified right away and he lost his mind completely; Tian Xuanzi was a god that has yet to ascend into a Heavenly Deity but even so, Tian Xuanzi appeared to be undefeatable in his eyes, which was terrifying because the heavenly general was a Heavenly Deity himself.

  Besides, to be able to serve Royal Prince Wen Chang, this heavenly general was definitely a capable one; he had opened all of his secret realms and achieved the Pure Yang Yuan Shen and even among the other Heavenly Deity, he was one that stood at the top. Yet, he was being oppressed by non-Heavenly Deities now.

  While he felt embarrassed and unhappy about being oppressed by a non-Heavenly Deity, he no longer felt superior to Tian Xuanzi and he quickly passed Royal Prince Wen Chang’s message and said, “The human is a tough nut to crack. He’s achieved the innate body and Qi so Royal Prince Wen Chang wanted you to be there just in case the Weapon Ancestor is not his opponent.”

  Tian Xuanzi frowned upon this, “Human? More like a reborn innate god. What a joke, how could there be someone like this among the humans? It is perfectly understandable that the Weapon Ancestor is no match for him and if Weapon Ancestor can’t win, I probably wouldn’t as well. I’m not going!”

  Right away, bitterness crept onto the heavenly general but an old voice swept through the scene, “Tian Xuanzi, the Imperial Emperor Xian Tian is no longer the Heavenly Monarch’s favorite. This is no secret to the Heavens. Since Royal Prince Wen Chang invited you over to deal with Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s disciple, you should just go to show your support and loyalty to Heavenly Monarch.”

  Tian Xuanzi, however, did not buy this and he replied with a sneer, “Loyalty? Our Ju Ling Clan is one of the eight sovereign clans! Yielding to him will only put shame on our ancestors that will never be washed away! My loyalty is only to the Earthly Sovereign Heavenly Monarch from our own clan!”

  “How dare you! If I say so, you do so!”

  Shouted the angered old voice, “We are no longer in the Earth Order Era now and out of the eight sovereign clans, only seven of us are still alive. Which of us are in a very good situation? Just go and at least pretend to show your support for the sake of the Ju Ling Clan!”

  Tian Xuanzi grumbled as he forcefully brought himself to agree with them and he said, “Fine, I’ll come with you, lead the way.”

  The bitterness in the heavenly general cleared away right away and he quickly brought Tian Xuanzi to the scene.

  On the other side, Weapon Ancestor’s presence surged as days passed and after about ten days later, his presence triggered a storm and his Qi reached all the way up into the skies while supernatural phenomenal emerged behind him; an endless wave of conjured weapons appeared all over around the skies, spears, swords, pikes, sabers, halberds, club, daggers, zithers, bells, jade seals, and many more.

  These were all formed by his totem patterns that were almost on par with a Creator’s ability to create things out of thin air!

  This was all because of his previous life, where he was a Creator. In this life, he possessed the knowledge and experience as a Creator, but he was limited by his own strength, but even so, everyone was awestruck by what he did.

  Apart from that, everyone present felt that their divine weapons were resonating with the Weapon Ancestor and they were about to lose control!

  “Weapon Ancestor is really impressive!”

  Everything was just a sign that the Weapon Ancestor was about to ascend into a god. ( B oxnovel.c om )

  However, Weapon Ancestor was driven into cultivation; if it was on the usual times, he would have carefully cultivated himself to prevent any mistakes that would make him regret but now, he had no choice but to ascend to the next level for his people.

  The pride and honor of their race would be irrevocably besmirched if Zhong Yue really did stand here for three months.

  Fortunately for him, with his rich experience and knowledge, he minimized the negative effect of rushing his cultivations, leaving him able to repair the temporary damage in the future.

  Meanwhile, when the heavenly general and Tian Xuanzi arrived at the scene, he murmured when he saw this. “So the battle is about to begin? I’ve been away for 26 days and it’s four more days to a month.”

  “What the hell do you know?”

  Tian Xuanzi scolded with a cold grin, “The Weapon Ancestor was fighting for these four days by advancing early.”

  The heavenly general’s question was answered as Tian Xuanzi explained, “You are really stupid. After ascending into a god, the Weapon Ancestor will not be able to get used to his new state and his cultivation level is not really steady yet, thus, he needed these four days for him to familiarized himself with his new power. Your knowledge is puny and I only need one move to kill you.”

  The heavenly general was angered right away but he dare not show his anger.

  “Tian Xuanzi, you’re here at long last!” said and welcomed Royal Prince Wen Chang after seeing Tian Xuanzi.

  Tian Xuanzi closed in to him with just a step and he said, “Your Highness, I was forced to come here by my old man. He said that we Ju Ling Clan will forever be loyal to the Heavenly Monarch but I cannot guarantee that I will fight.”

  Royal Prince Wen Chang frowned right away and asked, “What do you mean?”

  “Simple, if there is a chance of winning, I will fight but if it is a one-sided battle, I will not.”

  Royal Prince Wen Chang was speechless at this giant and he said, “So this is how you show your loyalty? Fine, suit yourself.”

  Tian Xuanzi then looked at Zhong Yue and showed his great interest in the human.

  Zhong Yue turned around upon feeling his gaze. He smiled back at Tian Xuanzi, while Tian Xuanzi responded in kind before the two of them turned away from each other.

  “His soul is very strong, it’s no doubt an innate Yuan Shen.”

  “Innate Yuan Shen!”

  Royal Prince Wen Chang had a fright and he exclaimed, “A reborn innate god?”

  Tian Xuanzi shook his body, creating loud rumbling noise and said, “His Yuan Shen is as strong as mine, his innate body in on par with my innate body I achieved through cultivating it with the destructive power of innate thunder waves. This human is undoubtedly a tough one. There are fewer than a hundred gods that can compete with him. The disciples of Imperial Emperor Xian Tian were usually just frauds. Only his own children are the strongest, where did this guy come from?”

  As they spoke, Weapon Ancestor got up from the ground and clapped. With just a clap, the gods of the Zhu Shi Celestial Race presented countless divine herbs to the Weapon Ancestor who then consumed them all.

  Another few hundred heavenly gods then got up. Each of them wielded a massive hammer while the Weapon Ancestor relaxed himself before these gods hammered his body, psyche ocean, and Yuan Shen!

  Dang dang dang—

  The gods helped Weapon Ancestor to refine his body, enhanced his psyche and polished his Yuan Shen, helping him to strengthen his base.

  After a day, a Deity Overlord walked out with a fiery blazing furnace. The Weapon Ancestor then dove it and tempered himself within.

  The Deity Overlord circled around the furnace and flicked Dao markings into the furnace. The fire in the furnace blazed even stronger.

  Another Deity Overlord got up with a basket of crystal clear water. This bucket of water was the Mystic Yin Divine Water and it turned into a giant lake in the hands of the Deity Overlord.

  Weapon Ancestor reforged himself in the furnace for about an hour and he leaped into the water to further refine his body and Yuan Shen before jumping back i
nto the furnace again.

  He repeated at least nine times and after the two Deity Overlords removed the furnace and water, tens of more heavenly gods swarmed towards the Weapon Ancestor, who then conjured all sorts of divine weapons to fend himself off to polish his skills.

  Finally, four days later, when the deadline arrived, the gods returned back to their places.

  The Weapon Ancestor then looked at Zhong Yue and said, “Please!”

  Zhong Yue nodded back, “Please!”

  With a roar, the Weapon Ancestor plunged at Zhong Yue with the six light wheels spinning behind his head and the totem Dao flying out. In an instant, the divine weapons dangling on the waist and back of the gods around the scene went into a rampage as these weapons sliced apart their masters’ secret realms and flew towards Weapon Ancestor!

  Those gods from the Zhu Shi Celestial Race did not even dare to interfere and instead, they let go of their weapons and had them fully placed under theWeapon Ancestor’s control.

  Just how scary and marvelous was a scene where countless divine weapons flew up into the skies and rained down again?

  Under the Weapon Ancestor’s control, these divine weapons erupted with power much stronger than before. The combined power of the countless weapons twisted the dimension and shattered them all before charging at Zhong Yue!

  “Halt!”

  An innate ray flashed across Zhong Yue’s forehead and suddenly, an unseen force field spread across the front, bringing all the divine weapons to a half!

  “The innate force field created from the innate inner core?”

  Tian Xuanzi laughed and said, “The result is obvious now, the Weapon Ancestor has lost.”

  Meanwhile, the Weapon Ancestor leaped into the air and charged at Zhong Yue with relentless force. While in the air, the Weapon Ancestor’s body transformed and he turned into a sharp and heavy sword that slashed towards Zhong Yue!

  Zhong Yue rammed his fist towards the sword’s tip and after a loud explosion rang out, Zhong Yue connected with a barrage of punches. In just a split second, he had rained down a flurry of punches directly at the sword’s tip.

  After about ten punches or so, the divine sword vanished and was replaced by Weapon Ancestor who was sent flying away with blood gushing out his mouth.

  “The innate body is so damn strong!” shouted an excited Tian Xuanzi.

  On the other hand, Zhong Yue looked at his slightly bleeding fists before looking at the pale-faced Weapon Ancestor, “Don’t be so disappointed, you managed to injure me too.”

  Zhong Yue silently praised in his heart. Clans on the level of the Zhu Shi Celestial Race controlled a large amount of top graded resources for themselves and often cultivated much faster and efficiently than humans. Though after he still lost to Zhong Yue after his advancement, he knew little of what Zhong Yue had gone through.

  Zhong Yue has brushed shoulders with death more times than he could count to be able to stand where he was right now.

  As for the Weapon Ancestor’s cultivation, he was supplied with countless divine herbs and was supported by over hundreds of gods to forge his body and Yuan Shen.

  With that, the Weapon Ancestor had saved himself plenty of effort to strengthen his base. Only powerful races like the Zhu Shi Celestial Race were able to afford something like that.

  By doing so, the Weapon Ancestor had saved at least hundred years of effort. It was only now that Zhong Yue realized how incredible an advantage it was to be a part of such clans.

  But of course, things were not as perfect as they would seem on the surface; though they saved a lot of time and efforts, the lacked the same in experience and knowledge that someone who walked Zhong Yue’s path would have.

  This, however, did not apply to those that were reborn like the Weapon Ancestor.

  “I’ve lost.”

  The Weapon Ancestor got up, and when he walked away, he said, “Forget about the remaining two months. Our Zhu Shi Celestial Race admits defeat so please go home, dear senior martial brothers and sisters of the Xian Tian Palace!”

  The Zhu Shi Celestial Race came to the of Weapon Ancestor’s intention and they quickly acted, trying to send Zhong Yue and the others out while they all thought, After chasing them out from here, we will ambush them right away halfway, crush their souls and eliminate every traces to avenge ourselves! If we did it clean and swift, not even the Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will know!

  Zhong Yue frowned as he wanted to drag the matter for as long as he could, but after all, the Weapon Ancestor who is a reincarnation Creator, knew what they were after so he made sure not to leave them any chance of survival.

  If he leaves now, we will be dead for sure even if we manage to get in contact with Xian Tian Palace because of the distance!

  All kind of thoughts circled crossed his mind and suddenly, a loud voice was heard laughing, “Hold on! Dear senior martial brothers of the Zhu Shi Celestial Race, I am interested in competing with this reincarnated innate god, may I borrow your place?”

  Zhong Yue felt happy right away and when he turned around, he realized that the owner of that voice was the giant who had arrived not too long ago.

  The higher-ups in the Zhu Shi Celestial Race and the Weapon Ancestor frowned upon seeing this, and the latter looked at Tian Xuanzi hesitantly.

  On the other hand, Royal Prince Wen Chang was also frowning, berating Tian Xuanzi secretly, You said you are loyal to my father and that you wouldn’t fight if there is no chance of winning but here you are! This fool is really a troublemaker! I shouldn’t have invited him!

  Tian Xuanzi stretched and said, “I’ve basically beaten up or got beaten by the young generation gods in Zi Wei Galaxy. Now that I’ve run into a reincarnated innate god, I can’t ignore my desire to compete with him! Weapon Ancestor, can you please grant me my wish? You lost to him so let me beat him up to make you feel better!”

  Weapon Ancestor answered politely, “I dare not trouble you, senior martial brother. Besides, this is a personal affair of our Zhu Shi Celestial Race….”

  “I was invited by the Royal Prince Wen Chang, no need for the formalities and politeness! I’m here to help you in support of Royal Prince Wen Chang!”

  He then leaped into the air before landing on one of the warehouses in the Imperial Granary and said carefreely, “If I win, your Zhu Shi Celestial Race will owe me one. This includes Royal Prince Wen Chang as well. Next time, if I am in trouble, be sure to help me! Thank you!”

  The Weapon Ancestor was on the verge of snapping and Royal Prince Wen Chang almost pulled his hair out right away. They both were doing all they could to prevent themselves from losing control and beating this muscular giant up!

  Screw you! When we needed you to act, you did nothing, but when we wished things to end quickly, you jumped out and stirred more trouble for us, even daring to say that we owe you!

  But they were merely scolding him in their mind; the Ju Ling Clan was the sovereign race among the celestial race and though they were not as strong as before, they were still a power not to be taken lightly.

  Even though the Fuxi Celestial Race was no more and there were no longer any Fuxi, the power and influence they left behind could never be ignored. Besides, without experiencing the crisis rained upon Fuxi Celestial Race, the Ju Ling Clan did not suffer many losses, managing to preserve quite a lot of their power and territory.

  The sovereign clans like the Ju Ling Race may not seem to be as powerful as before and while they appeared to be much weaker than the newly arisen clans, the capital and heritage they had accumulated throughout time was still not something the newly arisen monarch clans could compare with.

  Royal Prince Wen Chang, as the Heavenly Monarch’s son, was one member of a monarch race, but he knew that the monarch race he belonged to was no match for the Ju Ling Clan.

  Tian Xuanzi, on the other hand, looked at Zhong Yue as a wide smile spread across his face. He transmitted a psyche message to Zhong Yue,
“You’re welcome!”

  Zhong Yue was surprised and he thought, This giant seems to be a reckless one but he is actually rather sharp.

  Tian Xuanzi obviously knew what would happen if Zhong Yue and the others left. He continued saying, “I will fight with you and you can try to drag it out as long as you can. How long you can last under my attacks is up to you!”

  He suddenly dashed. His speed belied his size as he rammed towards Zhong Yue like a raging storm!

  “But of course, you owe me one as well! Next time, when I am in trouble, you will have to help me with all you could!”

  The giant from the Ju Ling Clan had a very powerful body. Each time he moved, the heavens shook and the earth trembled. He obviously managed to cultivate his body to a level that no ordinary god could even reach!

  With a punch that was unadorned by any unnecessary movements, the giant’s attack was swift and direct!

  With the power of his fleshly body alone, this Tian Xuanzi was already head and shoulder above his peers.

  Innate mortal body!

  Zhong Yue was shocked; he had never encountered another innate mortal body in the Zi Wei Galaxy even after being here to a long time.

  And someone who had also achieved this boundary, the difficulty of reaching this stage was all too clear to Zhong Yue!

  Besides, one required an emperor level art, and the art he used was the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture], where his body was used as the furnace to smelt thunder and lightning before absorbing it as essences!

  With that, he had finally achieved the innate body and after ascending into a god, he achieved the innate divine body!

  And to think that this giant had also achieved the same thing, perhaps even stronger, how did he do that?

  I expect nothing less from the Ju Ling Clan, the clan that is one of the eight sovereign clans, a clan that gave birth to an Earthly Sovereign Heavenly Monarch! Their foundation is extremely deep to be able to produce such experts!

  Zhong Yue praised internally, but this did not hold him back; he smacked his fist with Tian Xuanzi’s as a loud and thunderous boom rang out. The gods around them who heard the thump suddenly had their faces turned pale with blood dripping out from their mouths.
