Rise of Humanity

  She proceeded with the other king races, as well as defeating the young gods from the Bi Fang, Kui Long, She Bi Zombie, and the other celestial races. As time passed by, her presence and overall strength were increasing gradually.

  Now, they were somewhere around Zi Wei Galaxy’s borders where there are even more races around here, including some of the monarch races.

  “Now, can I challenge Tian Xuanzi?” asked Mu Qingxuan politely.

  “No, not even close. You need to be stronger. You need the killing will,” answered Zhong Yue.

  Mu Qingxuan was furious and she said angrily, “You asked me to cultivate the killing intent and now, the killing will? If you’re so good, show it to me then!”

  Suddenly, the ship trembled slightly and stopped before a voice was heard saying, “Killing will? Can Princess Mu feel the killing will now?”

  Hua la—

  The ship crumbled apart before endless light shined upon them, melting the goddesses on the ship!

  A terrifying killing will gushed towards them and right after being surrounded by this killing will, Mu Qingxuan felt that her Yuan Shen, body, arcane energy, techniques, and divine weapons were all invaded by it and with any reckless movements, she would be destroyed!

  Hu—

  Bo Di activated a mirror that stopped this invasive divine light while the other Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s disciples aided him to resist this divine light.

  Far away, there stood a few hundred Heavenly Deities donned in jet black robes, all holding onto a huge ball, which was White Luminant Gold formed after the collapse of a dead sun!

  And the death ray that disintegrated the goddesses was from this White Luminant Gold!

  No one knew anything about these black-robed gods, but the White Luminant Gold was something extremely rare and priceless. It was a material often used by Creators, Imperial Emperors and even Heavenly Monarchs while forging equipments. Yet, these black-robed gods actually managed to obtain one.

  However, this White Luminant Gold was not made into a weapon and it was merely unleashing it’s very own raw power but even so, the primitive power was already horrifying!

  “The mirror will not hold any longer!”

  Bo Di sweated coldly as he realized that this mirror was not going to resist the White Luminant Gold’s power anymore. Though the mirror’s power was fully unleashed, it was starting to melt and in no time, it will collapse.

  And this was when Zhong Yue unleashed his killing will. The tides of war turned and in an instant, everyone felt that they had fallen into the abyss and they started to hallucinate; they saw nothing but darkness, heard nothing besides the spirits and souls howling, struggling and sinking deeper and deeper into the howling abyss!

  Every Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s disciples, including Mu Qingxuan felt that their souls were all twisted and slowly writhing under this killing will, crushing all hopes. Under the killing will’s affection, they had all gone berserk and they were hungry for blood, wishing to wash the heaven and earth with nothing but blood!

  And his killing will was not even targeting them but at those black-robed gods. Wherever his killing passed, the gods groaned and fear consumed them!

  Shua—

  From Zhong Yue’s head flew an Innate Pure Yang Qi that turned into an ancient divine tree that grew forward. The gods let out a battle cry before they resisted the divine tree and they channeled their power into the White Luminant Gold!

  But that divine tree was an innate skill created by Li Yang before he died; the leaves cut right into the lights and traced the power course of these gods and shot towards them.

  Zhe zhe zhe—

  The leaves pierced into their forehead before breaching out from the back of their heads, turning them into corpses.

  But one of them was not killed by Zhong Yue and hopelessness flickered in his eyes. Suddenly, his Yuan Shen flew out and charged towards the White Luminant Gold, killing himself and left behind nothing, not even his soul.

  Zhong Yue frowned at this scene as he left this god alive in order to extract information from him about who and why they wanted to kill Mu Qingxuan but he never expected this god to be such iron minded.

  He then dispersed his killing will and retracted the Innate Pure Yang Qi while Mu Qingxuan, Bo Di and the others’ minds were still blank. While they looked towards the front soullessly, they were all drenched in sweat as if they were soaked in water.

  On the other hand, Mu Qingxuan felt her heart completely stopped beating after being pressured by this killing intent and it only started to beat again after Zhong Yue dispersed his killing intent.

  Is this his killing will and killing intent?

  Mu Qingxuan shivered and looked at Zhong Yue in fear as she thought, It’s so strong that it inflicts hopelessness and despair into others. How did he cultivate such a terrifying killing will…?

  “Someone is watching us….”

  Zhong Yue said suddenly, “We can’t continue forward anymore. Back to Zi Wei Galaxy now! Bo Di, reveal your true form!”

  Someone’s watching us?

  They all shivered again while Bo Di immediately turned into a three-taloned demonic crow and carried the others on his back before he flew towards Zi Wei Galaxy.

  Somewhere far far away, within the galaxy was a piece of land shrouded by light. The light here was connected by silks that either crossed each other, completely detached from each other or even merged together.

  If Zhong Yue were here, he would be very surprised as these silks were very similar to the Karmic Web he created as these silks were made into a Karmic Web!

  But this Karmic Web was much more complicated than Zhong Yue’s, even more perfected than his as Zhong Yue merely used Yin and Yang lines to create his Karmic Web while this one was created from totem patterns much more powerful than Zhong Yue’s.

  The more complicated the Karmic Web was, the more intelligence was needed to operate it; even Zhong Yue constantly felt that he needed more to operate his Karmic Web and this one here was even more complicated, which suggested how strong the person that created this Karmic Web was.

  “If we want to trigger the war between the Imperial Emperor Xian Tian and Heavenly Monarch, Mu Qingxuan is the key.”

  Underneath the Karmic Web, a gorgeous woman said, “Once she is killed, then chaos will descend upon Zi Wei Galaxy. Once the war starts, master will be able to rise within this chaos and win the throne. After all, master is a monarch-level existence. Outside of Imperial Emperor Xian Tian and the current Heavenly Monarch, who else is your match? But why did your majesty only send a few hundred Heavenly Deities?”

  Beside her stood another black-robed man and he said, “I want to see if Mu Xiantian is following them, but I never thought that other than Mu Xiantian, there would be this little guy whose power is not bad at all. Now that they’ve run back into Zi Wei Galaxy, it will be very hard to kill them now.”

  The gorgeous lady said, “Master, I can activate the Karmic Web and kill them all within Zi Wei Galaxy. It’s not that hard for me but I have to personally head there to see that human just now so that I can integrate him into my Karmic Web.”

  “Good. Then it’s up to you now, Consort Tian Si,” said the black-robed man.

  Chapter 807: UnfitUnfit |

  The Zi Wei Imperial Star was very vast. Zhong Yue couldn’t help but look up at the skies in awe upon first arriving here.

  The 3,000 Six Paths World and the stars within the Zi Wei Galaxy all hung up high on the skies, as if infused into the dark canvas of the void!

  “The Zi Wei Imperial Star was once called the Empyrean.”

  Xin Huo’s voice sounded, “The meaning of the name Empyrean is the center of universe. Whether it is the 3,000 Six Paths World or the ancient universe, everything circled around the Zi Wei Imperial Star. Someone even said that if this planet exploded, a new universe will be born!”

  Zhong Yue was in awe; with the skies as the ball, gaining the gods eyes view on everything, it meant
that everything within the Heavens could be seen clearly.

  The ancient universe’s core was in the Ninth Divine City in Starry Path to Heaven and this place, as the core of universe and Heavens, was a league even higher!

  “Everything in the Zi Wei Imperial Star is known as heavenly, the mountains are heavenly mountains, the rivers are heavenly rivers, the palaces are heavenly palaces. Everything here is a superlative version of what they would be outside.”

  Xin Huo said, “As a uniquely high-level place, there are a lot of natural areas around filled with wonders. If you cultivate in these places for a while, you will be a lot more stronger compared to cultivating in other places.”

  On the other hand, Bo Di said, “The 24 monarch races mostly reside around the Zi Wei Imperial Star. We must be careful and restrain ourselves from causing unnecessary trouble!”

  Suddenly, Mu Qingxuan said, “No, we must cause trouble, the more the better!”

  Bo Di was stunned by her words and the confused Bo Di asked, “Princess Mu Qingxuan, this is the Imperial Star where the Heavenly Monarch lives in and the place teeming with those from the monarch races. Given the current heated climate, I fear that if the troubles get out of hand and with the fact that you are here….”

  The other disciples nodded, but only Zhong Yue nodded at the lady’s intelligence.

  The ambush on their journey just now was just a test, the beginning of everything and whatever that was coming later will be even more intense as they would do whatever they could to kill her.

  Thus, the best way now was to announce as loudly to the world her presence so as that those hidden forces looking to act may not be able to be so reckless anymore.

  As for the Heavenly Monarch, he definitely wouldn’t tear his mask away and chase after them directly.

  Besides, the relationship between the Heavenly Monarch and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian had yet to completely break down; if the Heavenly Monarch kills Mu Qingxuan right away, then Imperial Emperor Xian Tian would have grounds to wage war against the Heavenly Monarch, and the latter would be loathed to give Imperial Emperor Xian Tian the opportunity to gain the moral high ground.

  On the other hand, the higher-profile they had and the more trouble they caused, the easier it would be for Xian Tian Palace to remain up to date with their statuses, in case reinforcements to secure them would be needed later on.

  This was the exact same reason why Zhong Yue killed Emerald Heavenly Dharma King’s son as soon as he arrived at the Wei Shen Six Paths World.

  Mu Qingxuan said without hesitation, “We will challenge the Luli Clan’s gods first and gain fame over their corpses!”

  The Luli Clan was among the 24 monarch races. Apart from them, there were also Yinkang, Getian, Jinti, Sulu, Wuhuai, Wuming, Bohuang, Zhuxiang, Lilian, Haoying, Shuilong, Huangting, Zunlu, Hundun, Dating, Tianyuan, and the Diming Clan where the current Heavenly Monarch was from.

  Meanwhile, among the original eight sovereign clans, apart from the Fuxi, Leizhe, Huaxu, Hexu, Panhu, Titing, Juling, there was the Zhongyang Clan, a clan that produced five Heavenly Monarchs in the Earth Order Era.

  Following the Fuxi Celestial Race’s extinction, the Leizhe and Huaxu Celestial Race’s situation deteriorated, the Panhu hid themselves away from the world, and the Juling and Titing started marrying other races, giving rise to other races. The Zhongyang Clan was the only one that continued to grow and now, they were as strong as the 24 monarch races.

  When they arrived at the Luli Clan and looked around, they saw a city floating in the skies, illuminated by numerous suns that hung high in the air.

  The Luli Clan lived up to its name as one among the 24 monarch races. This clan was a little stronger than the Xian Tian Palace and when they looked into the skies, the prosperity cloud floating in the air formed a cloud ocean, hiding the sacred mountains and grounds in it. One after another, a total of 24 Heavens hung in the air like moons, slightly more than Xian Tian Palace.

  This ancient monarch race was indeed amazing; with imperial-level divine weapons guarding them in the inside and tremendously powerful guardians protecting them on the outside, their people were able to live in peace and give birth to even more children in the Heavens.

  Within these Heavens were also Six Path Reincarnations, which turned the Heavens into a world itself where there were no invaders, allowing the people to maintain their pure bloodline and keep them unified.

  “What a good place!” praised Zhong Yue; this was really a good place and only the monarch races were qualified to occupy such strategic and resource-rich lands.

  Zhong Yue stood there and he looked at the Luli Clan from afar; although the imperial-level presence of the massive Luli Clan had passed away, this monarch race was not to be taken lightly.

  “I heard that Lu Wang from Luli Clan was one on par with Tian Xuanzi in terms of fame and strength,” murmured Bo Di, “Princess, you mustn’t challenge him recklessly.”

  “Then I shall challenge Lu Wang next!” Mu Qingxuan shouted right away after hearing Bo Di’s advice.

  Bo Di had a scare right away and he begged help from Zhong Yue as he sent a psyche message, “Mister Yi, please reason with her. If she loses in the challenge, she will be killed and all of us will be buried with her!”

  Zhong Yue, however, replied, “Don’t worry. As long as she introduces herself, Lu Wang will refrain from killing her. Even if he wanted to kill her, the Luli Clan’s elders would stop him.”

  They then entered Luli Clan’s territory, where they were all welcomed by the Luli Clan guardians. When they heard that they were being visited by Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s daughter and disciples, their expressions changed slightly and they quickly headed back to notify the Luli Clan. After some time, they were welcomed by a lady accompanied by a Creator, who led them into the sacred ground.

  This lady was the Luli Clan’s clan master’s daughter with the purest bloodline. As Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s daughter, it was only appropriate if Mu Qingxuan was welcomed by the clan master’s daughter.

  The lady’s name was Lu Binger. She was a Deity Overlord a few years older than Zhong Yue and the others. “Why did the little princess from Xian Tian Palace visit our Luli Clan? The Xian Tian Palace’s situation is not very good recently, were you not worried about your safety when you decided to run around like this?”

  “Big Sister Binger, is Senior Martial Brother Lu Wang in?” asked Mu Qingxuan with a pair of blinking eyes.

  Hearing her question, Lu Binger said happily, “Of course! This younger brother of mine is not married yet. I was telling him that I will find one pretty girl with high position as his and here you are….”

  Mu Qingxuan stopped her right away and explained, “Sister, I’m afraid you’ve mistaken my purpose here. I am here to challenge him. To be honest, my father has promised someone that he will marry me to….”

  She whispered, “Marry me to Tian Xuanzi. I came out this time to challenge Tian Xuanzi so that I can defeat him and demand him to push this marriage away. I fear that I will be no match for him and after knowing that your brother, Lu Wang is equally as strong as him, I decided to challenge Lu Wang first.”

  Lu Binger burst out laughing and said, “Imperial Emperor Xian Tian betrothed you to Tian Xuanzi? That barbaric giant? If you marry him, your life will definitely be miserable!”

  Zhong Yue, Bo Di, and the others were all shocked by this revelation and their expressions were very weird as they thought, No wonder this little princess insisted on challenging Tian Xuanzi….

  Lu BingEr smiled and said, “A while ago, Yang Changsheng of the Zhongyang Clan and Royal Prince Wen Dao of the Diming Clan paid us a visit. My brother is seeing them in the Jinxiu Mountain. They are probably sharing their ideas and experiences now and with the relationship between your Xian Tian Palace and the Heavenly Monarch’s clan, I will take you there if you’re not afraid of troubles.”

  Mu Qingxuan laughed and said right away, “What am I afraid of?”

 
Lu Binger then started leading the way and after glancing at Zhong Yue, Mu Qingxuan asked, “Big Sister Binger, are you married?”

  “No.”

  Lu Binger replied, “My father had little children and there are even less pure-blooded ones. Not only did I have to take care of the family, but I also had to take care of my foolish younger brother. Do you think I have time for love?”

  Mu Qingxuan smiled right away and she proposed, “My Junior Martial Uncle Yi is suitable for you! He is an innate god in his previous life and even my father is very polite to him. He is a good choice if you do not look down on his human origins.”

  Lu Binger glanced at Zhong Yue as Mu Qingxuan spoke, and after taking a few looks on Zhong Yue, Lu Binger did indeed find him to be quite attractive. However, she immediately gave up on Zhong Yue after knowing that he was a human. She shook her head and said, “His origins are a little poor. The humans have no position everywhere so even if I am willing to marry him, the elders will prohibit this.”

  Mu Qingxuan stuck her tongue out at Zhong Yue and said, “Junior martial uncle, my condolences.”

  Zhong Yue was speechless and he said, “Tian Xuanzi’s strength is much stronger than mine. His body is extremely tough and he is a giant much larger than ordinary giants. Even after shrinking his size, he was still at least five hundred feet tall. The smaller he gets, the stronger he becomes. If you marry him, you will really suffer, if you know what I mean.”

  Mu Qingxuan was embarrassed and angered by Zhong Yue’s words and she shouted, “I will defeat him and make him reject the marriage offer!”

  “He will beat you up with just one hand,” replied Zhong Yue calmly.

  Mu Qingxuan gritted her teeth and just as she wanted to jump towards Zhong Yue to beat him up, Lu Binger suddenly said, “Junior Martial Uncle Yi? Are you the Yi Feng that fought with Tian Xuanzi in Imperial Granary to a draw?”

  Bo Di laughed and said, “That’s him.”

  Lu Binger’s face changed right away and smiled at Zhong Yue, “If Mister Yi doesn’t mind, I think we arrange something.”
