Rise of Humanity

  “Then how are we supposed to get out?” said a frowning Dong Ah, “These seals are changing every second, which means that this ribbon under our feet will change position along with these seals as well. Do you think the changes in these seals will bring us to the edge of the seals?”

  Hearing this, hopes flickered in everyone’s eyes and they all said, “Seems logical! If we are sent to the edge of these seals, we will have a chance of escaping back to Xian Tian Palace and have them to annihilate Zhu Shi Celestial Race!”

  And this was the time when they suddenly saw gigantic bodies scattered around this unknown dimension. To their shock, these bodies were emitting tremendous divine auras and they were all wrapped around by these jellyfish like seals.

  The Qi of Creators….

  Their heart turned cold upon seeing these corpses and Xi He suddenly realized something horrifying and she shouted, “These Creators are not killed here but they were trapped here to death! If one could stand on the ribbon and rely on these seals to get out of here, how come they didn’t?”

  Unlike ordinary gods, Creators possessed an immensely powerful body, thus, even when the jellyfish-like seals wrapped around their corpses, the seals failed to disintegrate their bodies. Apart from that, they seemingly became one with these corpses and if the way Xi He mentioned was true, these Creators would’ve been gone for a long time instead of dying here!

  We will surely be able to get out as long as we follow and synchronize with the seals’ operation.

  Zhong Yue calculated the patterns and orders and after some time, he said, “The seals here will reincarnate once in every 40,000 years. We are now half way through the cycle but approximately 300,000 years later, we will be standing near the end of these seals.”

  After hearing Zhong Yue’s statement, hope was completely drained away from them; 300,000 years time to reach the seals’ borders, who could even live 300,000 except for the innate gods?

  They were merely ordinary gods and even after achieving the Bloodline Wheel and cultivated Six Paths Reincarnation, their lifespan was only about 50,000 years long while a Heavenly Monarch’s was merely 120,000 years lifespan. When they waited for the seals to carry them to the border, they would have died like these Creators.

  “Mister Yi, you have a way, don’t you?” Bo Di asked nervously.

  As time passed, he unconsciously addressed Zhong Yue as Mister Yi instead of Senior Martial Brother Yi.

  Zhong Yue, on the other hand, tried his best to figure a way out; merging themselves with the seals was still in his area of capability. But to unravel them directly was a difficult task for him.

  “Xin Huo, the Zhu Shi Celestial Race’s Celestial Emperor said that the real Imperial Granary was a treasure left behind by the Earthly Sovereign in the Earth Order Era, can you recognize these seals?” asked Zhong Yue to Xin Huo suddenly.

  In his psyche ocean, Xin Huo looked around through his eyes and replied, “This Earthly Sovereign is not the Heavenly Emperor from Fuxi. I know nothing about this Earthly Sovereign so he might be one that rose when I was in slumber. He is very likely from another sovereign race. But, it’s not much trouble for me to remove these seals.”

  Zhong Yue felt relieved right away and he said, “Take over control of my body and break these seals then!”

  He let go of his psyche and Xin Huo immediately took over. Upon taking control of Zhong Yue’s body, he placed his hands on his waist and laughed arrogantly, “What the hell is the Zhu Shi Celestial Race? They are nothing more than just warehouse guards for the Heavenly Monarch! Do they think they could trap me here just like that? Hey pretty lady, give me a sweet smile!”

  Bo Di and the others were completely shocked and their mind went blank as the “Zhong Yue” put a finger on Xi He’s chin and demanded her to smile.

  Xi He blushed right away and she quickly turned her head around before she said, “Mister Yi, I am Dong Ah’s woman, please behave….”

  “Then kick him aside!”

  …

  Xin Huo, who did not give a damn, continued, “To be honest, I have mastered the [Celestial Demon Great Pleasure Art] and all the stances in it! I guarantee you will experience pleasures you never would’ve believed were possible….”

  “Xin Huo!” shouted Zhong Yue.

  Xin Huo immediately zipped his mouth up and started removing the seals disgruntledly.

  “This brat! You promised me that you would give birth to more Fuxi children, but you’ve always been slacking. Yet, you are complaining and interfering when I try to do it for you!”

  Zhong Yue was speechless and he quickly comforted him, “I don’t have the time right now. Once we settle down, I will give birth to as many children you want!”

  “Shut up! If you die here, there will be nothing to talk about anymore!”

  ….

  Though Xin Huo gave them all an unreliable feeling, he was still very powerful; about two months later, the exit appeared before them and it will not take long until they finally escape from the pseudo Imperial Granary’s seals.

  Xin Huo removed the seals on the way at the front and after he brought everyone out from the pseudo Imperial Granary’s seals, he turned around and said, “Pretty girl, why don’t you consider kicking Dong Ah away and choose….”

  Without hesitation, Zhong Yue immediately took control of his body back and said, “Xi He and Dong Ah! Contact Xian Tian Palace now! Bo Di, reveal your true form and let’s go!”

  Xi He blushed and before she took out the divine statue to contact Xian Tian Palace, she secretly glanced at Zhong Yue and thought, Although he is a human, his origins as an innate god are far better than Senior Martial Brother Dong Ah, if he is my man….

  Bo Di, meanwhile, turned back into his original form, which was a three-taloned demonic crow with a wingspan of a few miles. He carried everyone on his back and flew away quickly.

  “Huh?”

  Far away, the Weapon Ancestor and Royal Prince Wen Chang suddenly noticed Zhong Yue and the others escaping from the Imperial Granary’s seal and their faces contorted right away.

  Cold sweat dripped down from Weapon Ancestor’s forehead and he said, “Your highness….”

  “Go after them and kill them all!”

  Said the prince as killing intent and anger flickered in his eyes, “Kill them right now and with that, no one can prove that we are the ones that killed them!”

  Chapter 793: Petty Tricks |

  Without hesitation, Weapon Ancestor contacted the magnates of the Zhu Shi Celestial Race and had them send the army after Zhong Yue and the others.

  “The army will not make it in time.”

  Royal Prince Wen Chang’s eyes blinked and suddenly, he charged forward right after Zhong Yue and the others, “We will move one step ahead and stall them!”

  Weapon Ancestor follows suit and he said, “Your Highness, you are a royal prince, you shouldn’t involve yourself in such dangerous situations!”

  Royal Prince Wen Chang replied, “Then you’ve underestimated me. I may be a royal prince that was born with a golden spoon but my father is a Heavenly Monarch that walked a path filled with blood. Unlike those that merely inherited their ancestors’ wealth, our family is one acquired it over a mountain of corpses! Besides, the heavenly generals beside me are not ordinary.”

  “Your Highness, all we have to do is stall them, not fight with our lives on the line like a gamble.” added the worried Weapon Ancestor.

  Royal Prince Wen Chang led his men forward and said, “Don’t worry, I will pull myself out from this mess as soon as your Zhu Shi Celestial Race’s army arrives. Weapon Ancestor, I heard that you can turn into all kinds of divine weapons that possess various abilities, may I?”

  Weapon Ancestor replied seriously, “It will be my honor to be your sword.”

  “Good!”

  Royal Prince Wen Chang laughed happily and a long silk cloth flew out from his six light wheels. The thin silk then flew forward, jumping across the dimension like a rai
nbow and hung at one end to another end in this dimension.

  He then got up to the silk along with Weapon Ancestor and the heavenly generals; when they arrived at the other end of the silk, they were already right behind Zhong Yue and the others.

  The Weapon Ancestor was completely dumbfounded and awestruck by this, The Heavenly Monarch family really has a lot of precious items….

  Royal Prince Wen Chang then kept the silk away and continued chasing after Zhong Yue and the others who were not far away.

  In front of them, Bo Di fluttered his wings quickly and he flew as fast as he could, but flying was after all, weaker than the long cloth that could leap across the void.

  “Mister Yi! There’s someone on our tail!” Dong Ah shouted.

  Zhong Yue, on the other hand, had already noticed the long cloth behind them and with a swing of his finger in the air, thunder and lightning formed in the void and they shot towards the direction his finger pointed. The thunder cracked the skies open and the lightning lit up the skies. In just an instant, a raging ocean made of thunder and lightning formed in between them and Royal Prince Wen Chang.

  Dong Ah and the others were amazed by this; though they were able to do this as well, the types of thunder and lightning within the ocean Zhong Yue created was almost infinite. The Pure Yang Thunder and Lightning were just the most basic among all and there were even innate thunder lightning!

  Apart from that, the lightning in the ocean came in various forms; there were mountains, trees, flowers, waves, and even massive whales and fish!

  Barely any gods could manage to pull this off. Perhaps, those pureblood gods from the Leizhe Celestial Race were able to do this, but Zhong Yue was obviously not one of them, so it was amazing that he could pull this off easily.

  Behind them, Royal Prince Wen Chang grinned mockingly and he gave an order, “Puny tricks! Chu Yanbing, destroy his lightning ocean and show him the power of the servants from the Heavenly Monarch Family!”

  A heavenly general beside him nodded and shouted loudly before his speed increased tremendously; after a few steps, he lowered his entire body onto the ground as his hands and legs turned into toad’s limbs. In just a blink of an eye, an emerald-eyed jade toad appeared. With each leap, he got closer and closer to the ocean before he opened his mouth and sucked the lightning ocean away.

  With a gigantic mouth, this emerald-eyed jade toad possessed the ability to swallow the skies and the massive lightning ocean shrunk rapidly as it was being sucked into the toad’s mouth!

  In just a few seconds, this heavenly general had completely swallowed the lightning ocean and he even burped!

  “How pathetic.”

  Royal Prince Wen Chang sneered but his expression quickly froze. As he was mocking Zhong Yue, the toad’s eyes lost focus and his pupils widened horrifically before his body expanded. The toad’s stomach bloated before it exploded into pieces like a balloon, releasing all the lightning that it swallowed!

  On the back of Bo Di, Zhong Yue turned around and smiled, “Is that all?”

  Royal Prince Wen Chang’s expression did not look good at all and he retaliated by swinging his sleeves. The sleeves enlarged visibly and wrapped around the lightning ocean like a gigantic serpent, absorbing the lightning ocean.

  In just a second, the lightning ocean disappeared without a sign in his sleeves!

  “Hmph! Fools!” said Royal Prince Wen Chang coldly.

  In his sleeves, raging lightning roared, and after a moment, the thunder roars could no longer be heard. But at the same time, Zhong Yue and the others were already out from their vicinity and they couldn’t even hear it.

  Royal Prince Wen Chang gave chase quickly and in no time, they caught up again and this time, he taunted, “Is the reincarnated innate god a coward? Is he afraid of fighting a non-innate god like myself?”

  Zhong Yue laughed and replied, “If I am stalled by Your Highness, the Zhu Shi Celestial Race’s army will arrive in no time. Your Highness’ life is a puny one and your life is not even as valuable as mine!”

  Royal Prince Wen Chang sneered, “You are just a human!”

  “Wrong! I am an innate god!”

  With a simple finger flicker, another thunder lightning ocean emerged in between them and Zhong Yue said, “No matter how honorable and precious a Heavenly Monarch’s child is, their lives will never be as precious as mine!”

  Upon seeing the same trick, Royal Prince Wen Chang used the same tactic to absorb the thunder lightning ocean. But this time, the thunder ocean in his sleeves turned into a lightning furnace that burned a big hole in his sleeves.

  The Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace then flew out from the hole and slammed towards Royal Prince Wen Chang, who had a scare and quickly wrapped the silk around his body. With that, he managed to escape but things were not the same for his men. They were all struck by the Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace and with the power within the Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace erupted, these heavenly generals were all burnt to a crisp.

  The enraged Royal Prince Wen Chang then punched onto the Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace and it exploded right away but not before it released the lightning ocean again.

  Royal Prince Wen Chang’s reaction was extremely fast but even so, the heavenly generals were all severely injured, having lost any ability to gave chase.

  Seeing this, Royal Prince Wen Chang abandoned them and continued his pursuit with the Weapon Ancestor.

  With another flick, Zhong Yue created another lightning pool behind him and this time, the furious Royal Prince Wen Chang shouted, “Weapon Ancestor!”

  Weapon Ancestor nodded and he turned into a divine saber. This divine saber had eyes on it and when Royal Prince Wen Chang grabbed onto Weapon Ancestor’s legs, his legs had already turned into the saber hilt.

  The royal prince then hacked the saber onto the lightning ocean, splitting it apart and swinging the saber towards Zhong Yue with relentless power.

  But suddenly, an innate Qi flowed out from Zhong Yue’s fingers that transformed into a bow and another innate Qi turned into an arrow. With a draw, Zhong Yue shot an arrow towards the royal prince with overwhelming force!

  Royal Prince Wen Chang immediately placed the saber horizontally in front of him and the divine saber Weapon Ancestor turned into now changed into a tower shield that also had a pair of eyes.

  Shoosh—

  The innate arrow shot right onto the shield and along with some fire sparks, the arrow almost pierced through the shield.

  Royal Prince Wen Chang shook the shield and the Weapon Ancestor turned into a giant bell right away. The royal prince clapped his hand onto the bell and after a loud bell rang, shockwaves charged right towards Zhong Yue!

  Seeing this, the conjured bow in Zhong Yue’s hand turned into a drum before another two innate Qi flew out and turned into Yin and Yang drumsticks.

  Zhong Yue himself then turned into a giant and he started beating the drum. With each beat, a terrifying shockwave would reverberate out to clash with Royal Prince Wen Chang’s, causing the skies in the dimension to crack apart.

  As they become embroiled in a battle of attrition, Royal Prince Wen Chang slammed his hand onto the bell, sending it flying forward while the bell continued to ring. At the same time, he leaped into the air and landed on the silk that rolled all the way to Zhong Yue’s head.

  The prince dashed quickly on the silk bridge and when he was halfway there, he reached his hands towards the bottom of the bridge at the course where the bell was flying. He grabbed onto the bell that the Weapon Ancestor had turned into and with another shake, the bell turned into a huge club that the prince swung at Zhong Yue!

  With a kick, Zhong Yue kicked onto Bo Di and the others as he shouted, “Go!”

  Bo Di immediately carried Dong Ah and the others away quickly and he replied, “Mister Yi! Hold yourself together for a moment, the supreme senior martial brother from Xian Tian Palace is on his way here!”

  After his companions left, Zhong Yu
e raised his hands and grabbed onto the massive club. After a loud explosion, his hands were covered in his own blood while his bones were almost broken.

  Suddenly, he plunged his hands forward in lightning speed and he pierced his fingers right into the eyes on the giant club. Then, he hooks the eyes out and blood splashed everywhere.

  “Weapon Ancestor, there is no need to have eyes anymore since you are willing to be his weapon! Let me help you to remove them!”

  Shouted Zhong Yue as clasped his fist and the eyes in his palms were squished into two meatballs.

  On the other hand, a shriek was heard coming from the club but it did not stop Zhong Yue from planting totem patterns into Weapon Ancestor’s eye sockets. The totem patterns flowed into Weapon Ancestor’s eyes socket right away, permanently sealing the Weapon Ancestor ability to regrow his eyes.

  Royal Prince Wen Chang was not perturbed by this turn of events and continued swinging the club into Zhong Yue’s chest.

  Zhong Yue was sent flying away right away and after a few rolls, Zhong Yue fell right into a planet like a meteor. He slammed right into its ocean, resulting in a tsunami that swallowed the living beings on the continental.

  After he regained his balance, Zhong Yue raised his head and looked into the skies, only to see a gigantic face staring right at him. The face grew larger and larger as it moved closer towards the planet; Royal Prince Wen Chang had turned into a giant and when he slammed the club towards this planet, the club was covered in a raging fire as soon as it breached through the atmosphere with a feeling that was far scarier than a massive meteor!

  Zhong Yue leaped into the air and intercepted the giant club. As he flew upwards, he gradually turned into a giant and he flew straight towards the horrifying club. From his forehead came another Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace that slowly enlarged as it spun quickly and covered half the skies.

  Unlike the other Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace, this Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace was the one he created through the weapon scraps of those from the Zhu Shi Celestial Race. Though it was newly created, it’s power was incredibly powerful. After all, the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] was an imperial level art and as a weapon that was created through an imperial level art, it’s power was definitely incredible.
