Rise of Humanity

  Soon after, Lu Wang was unable to catch up to Zhong Yue’s speed. He quickly cast the water dragon out from his shoulder and devoured Yan Gongfu’s heavenly river skill. This enlarged the water dragon to a vast size and it lunged at Zhong Yue.

  Although Zhong Yue’s Innate Golden Crow form was a thousand miles long, the dragon’s claw was just as huge as him, being able to grasp him fully in its claw!

  Lu Wang’s water dragon was formed from Innate Tai Yin Qi, it was the purest element and thus, after it devoured the Deity Overlord Yan Gongfu’s skill, its power was boosted greatly.

  But right before it was able to claw onto Zhong Yue, Zhong Yue’s aura suddenly changed. It was filled with the air of the Innate Tai Yin Qi and when the clawed was down on him, Zhong Yue attached himself on the claw and sunk himself into it, stealing Yan Gongfu’s skill for his own!

  Isn’t he an Innate Golden Crow? Why can he still cultivate the Innate Tai Yin Qi?

  Lu Wang was dumbfounded. The water dragon shattered into two halves from the middle and Zhong Yue rode on one half as he left on it

  Peng—

  A huge net suddenly appeared in front and captured Zhong Yue along with the water dragon in it.

  On the warships, the gods leaped down and stood on the nets, moving toward Zhong Yue from all directions.

  Zhong Yue moved backward but the warships had him surrounded as they formed a water barrier to block his path.

  From afar, it felt like there was a stream of river flowing perpendicularly to the earth surface and the warships were laid flat on the river surface and the gods hovering in parallel with the earth surface. It was truly a peculiar scene to look at.

  The gods gave a stern yell and cast out the nets as they moved forward, whereas the gods from behind were keeping the nets and moving forward, then cast out the nets again. They were suppressing Zhong Yue’s movements and shrinking his room.

  At the same time, the Zhongyang Clan’s war chariots charged forward. They joined sides with the Heavenly River Navy Fleet and surrounded Zhong Yue in the center.

  Zhong Yue was now left with little room to maneuver.

  Lu Wang rushed forward and laughed, “Mister Yi, you have nowhere to run now! Death is inevitable! But instead of dying in the hands of many, why don’t you go all out and fight me, unleash your powers for the last time before I slay you!? That way, you can at least die an honorable warrior!”

  Zhong Yue gave a frigid sneer, he changed back to his human form and his aura turned ancient and solemn as he attacked.

  Lu Wang parried the attacks and his body quivered from the strength of Zhong Yue’s punches. But that only caused his battle will to surge even higher, he laughed happily, “Your innate mortal body is strong, but my mortal body is not weaker than yours either!”

  Zhong Yue raised his hand with the half water dragon winding on his arm and punched forward. Lu Wang also had the half water dragon winding on his body, he endured the punch and moved backward. The six light wheels flew out and trapped Zhong Yue in the middle.

  It felt like there were six water worlds in the six light wheels. The Innate Tai Yin Qi were gushing out from the light wheels and confined him in the middle.

  Whereas Zhong Yue’s six light wheels opened above him and as if they were six suns, the Innate Tai Yang Qi gushed out and repelled Lu Wang’s six light wheels, freeing himself.

  “Wang, step back now!” Lu BingEr rushed forward and she shouted.

  In the Heavenly River Navy Fleet, the river streamed out, the warships sailed on the waters and rammed toward Zhong Yue. On the other hand, the war chariots have charged toward Zhong Yue as well.

  In the Zhongyang Clan’s tent, a celestial rose and demanded, “Heavenly River Navy Fleet, stand down! This is the murderer to the heir of Zhongyang Clan, do not interfere and leave him to us!”

  Whereas in the Heavenly River Navy Fleet, there was also a celestial in the flagship that replied, “What a presumptuous Zhongyang Clan! But we come under His Majesty’s order to seize Royal Prince Wen Dao’s murderer. Does the Zhongyang Clan dare to go against the Heaven Court?”

  The Zhongyang Clan celestial’s face turned dark and gloomy, he sat down and ordered the men, “Take down the murderer, I want him, dead or alive!”

  The Heavenly River Navy Fleet’s celestial gave a cold sneer and shouted, “Take down Royal Prince Wen Dao’s murderer, I want him alive, not dead! He is to be presented to His Majesty before he is sentenced to death on the God Slaying Stage as an example to those who dare to defy the Heaven’s will!”

  The war chariots and warships charged to the center, and Lu BingEr was on the front of them all.

  Meanwhile, Lu Wang was still fighting with Zhong Yue, he laughed aloud, “Exciting, how exciting! No wonder you can battle with that brat Tian Xuanzi for so long. It’s been a long time since I meet with someone this strong… Sister, sister, what are you doing?”

  Lu Binger reached her hand out and pinched the nape of Lu Wang’s neck. Although Lu Wang was strong, he was left powerless like a kitten when Lu Binger clenched him in her hand and brought him away.

  “Sister, let me go! I still want to fight him!” Lu Wang shouted.

  Lu Binger’s face was dark and gloomy as she bolted out as fast as possible, she replied frigidly, “I’m saving your life, else you won’t even know how you’d die later!”

  When the Zhongyang Clan and Heavenly River Navy Fleet rushed to Zhong Yue and launched their attacks, Zhong Yue deftly evaded their attacks. Then all of a sudden, he cast out his inner core and opened the innate force field, halting all the gods in midair.

  Krong—

  But more attacks fell on the innate force field, nearly crushing his inner core. Zhong Yue quickly kept his inner core and turned into the Innate Golden Crow form, bolting out as fast as possible.

  However, the warships and war chariots sealed every possible path to leave and left only a million miles of room for him to move around, but even the limited space was closing gradually as they slowly pressed forward.

  The sky was filled with the nets by the Heavenly River Navy Fleet and the Zhongyang Clan cast countless divine weapons around.

  These divine weapons were in the shape of furnaces, the openings were smooth like mirrors and were pointing at him with incredible forces that tried to suck him into the furnaces.

  Zhong Yue moved around, evading the godly rays that were shining out from the furnaces and that further slowed his movements, allowing more gods to pounce on him.

  Cries of battle and groans of death resounded throughout the surroundings. The gods were either slain or pushed back by Zhong Yue as he fought his way out of the predicament, but soon after, he would be surrounded by hundreds of gods again. The cycle repeated itself, but each time, there would be more gods joining the fight.

  Soon, there were more than ten thousand gods fighting him, and the number was still growing.

  Seeing that the ordinary gods couldn’t have taken him down, rays flashed across the Zhongyang celestial’s eyes and he shouted, “Send the Deity Overlords!”

  At the same time, the commanding flags of the Heavenly River Navy Fleet’s flagship have also changed, and the Deity Overlords in the warships then rushed out upon seeing the command given.

  Meanwhile, the Heavenly River Navy Fleet and war chariots were still moving toward the center, shrinking Zhong Yue’s space to only a ten thousand miles radius.

  It’s about time, Zhong Yue gritted his teeth, he took out the Luli Clan’s imperial charm and cast it, I just want to live, no matter what it takes!

  Chapter 814: Unparalleled Advisor |

  The gods swarmed at Zhong Yue, including the Deity Overlords and even the dragons of the war chariots joined in the fight. Their vast bodies took up the most space and their claws could seemingly tear space apart.

  The battlefield became deluged with the sounds of battle and the pained groans of pain and death. Then, all of a sudden, silence swept through the scene, to be followed by an irresi
stible burst of energy!

  The gods, the divine weapons, the war chariots, the dragons, the warships, and everything else around were reduced to atoms by a wave of immeasurable power that swept across the battlefield!

  Blinding light rays glared above Zhong Yue’s head, it was the source of an unknown power. It was spreading at a terrifying speed, swallowing thousands and thousands of gods, warships, and war chariots in just seconds. Then soon, it spread out over a million miles in radius around Zhong Yue!

  Terror, fear, and death dominated the scene!

  This was the power of the imperial-level skill charm.

  The imperial charm was left behind by the Luli Clan’s Heavenly Monarch back in the ancient days. The power contained within was unmeasurable, and now, it had unleashed its destructive power in full force!

  When the charm was triggered, its power spread across a radius of a million miles, killing all that was in range. Even the strong and powerful Heavenly River Navy Fleet and Zhongyang Clan’s army of war chariots were destroyed like they made of papers!

  The waters vaporized and the war chariots were crushed to splinters. The gods on the warships and chariots couldn’t even begin to make their escape and were reduced to ashes in an instant!

  Faraway, Lu Wang was watching the scene with his mouth agape and his limbs frigid from terror. He was never this grateful for his whole life.

  Lu Binger didn’t say a word or even turn her head around, instead, she just held him and bolted out from the explosion. They were already a very far distance from the battlefield, but it wasn’t far enough still!

  To the Heavenly Monarch’s skills, distances like this don’t really matter at all, they were would be able to reach to the Yue siblings in just a breath’s time.

  Run, we must run faster and further, or we will both die! Lu Binger’s heart thumped in fear, she mustered all of her power and bolted out while she was thinking puzzlingly, How did he get our Luli Clan’s imperial charm? How did it end up in his hands? This is bad, its the Luli Clan’s imperial charm that killed the Heavenly River Navy Fleet and Zhongyang Clan’s million gods. This isn’t just a simple misunderstanding that can be cleared away easily, this is an unresolvable hatred that can only be washed away by the lives of many…

  She was bewildered by the sudden change in the situation. At the exact moment that Zhong Yue waved the skill charm at her face, she immediately recognized it being the Luli Clan’s imperial-level skill charm. Thus, she brought Lu Wang away immediately as she knew that Zhong Yue would surely trigger the imperial charm when he was cornered down by the gods.

  Surely enough, Zhong Yue did just that, resulting in the total destruction of the Zhongyang Clan’s war chariots army and the Heaven Court’s Heavenly River Navy Fleet. She couldn’t even imagine just how would she be able to handle the situations right after?

  The unexplainable development of situation baffled the Luli Clan clan master’s daughter more than anyone else. What was meant just an ordinary visit from Royal Prince Wen Dao and Yang Changsheng to the Luli Clan had turned out to end in this way?

  It was only normal for the younger generations of the strong and powerful races and factions to come together and gather from time to time. But why would this time it would end up turning into the last straw to provoke hatred between the Zhongyang Clan, Diming Clan, and Xian Tian Palace, even dragging the Luli Clan into it?

  Someone else must be behind all of this! Just when she thought about it. A wave of imperial aura had burst out behind her. The vice admiral of the Heavenly River Navy Fleet cast out a huge flag and leaped down from the flagship, slamming down and planted the flag onto the river surface.

  The flag fluttered in the gales and a wave of terrific imperial aura burst out from within, clashing with the imperial aura blasting at them from the imperial charm!

  Turns out, the flag was the war flag bestowed upon the Heavenly River Navy Fleet by the Heavenly Monarch. It was fluttering vibrantly in the strong gale while enlarging itself and sheltering the Heavenly River Navy Fleet behind it.

  At the same time, a huge shield flew out from the Zhongyang Clan’s tent. The shield surface was carved with the four-faced god that came alive when the shield was cast out.

  When the shield was cast to the front of the army, a light barrier emerged and expanded out into a light wall that harbored the imperial aura in it and defended the Zhongyang Clan warriors.

  Clearly, the shield was also a treasure left behind by the Zhongyang Clan’s Heavenly Monarch and brought along by the Zhongyang Clan.

  The Luli Clan is saved ! When Lu BingEr saw the two imperial treasures pulled out, she heaved a breath of relief and released Lu Wang from her grasp. She lightly patted her chest in relief and said, “We are saved! As long as the Heavenly River Navy Fleet and Zhongyang Clan are not destroyed in our Luli Clan’s territory, we’ll be free from the war as well…”

  “But it’s a pity that Mister Yi is dead for sure.” Lu Wang whined regretfully.

  Whereas Lu Binger gave a frigid sneer, “This brat is better off dead than alive! He asked for it himself!”

  The clashes of auras from the three imperial-level treasures ravaged the lands for over a million miles. But the imperial charm was, after all, fighting against two treasures of its level, its power was waning at an incredible speed.

  All of a sudden, the imperial charm’s power was drained, and the imperial aura stopped surging out. At the same time, the huge flag and shield have also gradually softened their powers and returned to normal soon after, leaving only a piece of land filled with shattered pieces of space.

  The scene then became steeped in silence.

  Zhong Yue stood in the center of the fleet and army, panting heavily as the gods burning stares tried to bore holes into his body.

  It was out of his expectations that the Heavenly River Navy Fleet and Zhongyang Clan both also had imperial-level treasures that could resist the imperial charm.

  And that had left him at the end of his life.

  This was the literal end, there was simply no way out anymore!

  From far, Lu Binger looked at Zhong Yue and sighed, she whispered, “What a pity, Mister Yi…”

  At a place further away from them, Consort Tian Si was also looking at Zhong Yue, she sighed as well and mumbled regrettably, “Don’t blame me, please don’t blame me… We just served different masters…”

  At the center of the battlefield, Zhong Yue calmed his breath as the imperial charm burned itself into ashes.

  On the sides, the gods were breathing heavily, they could smell the blood and soul of their fallen brothers and that surged their killing intent even more. There were almost a million gods on both sides and when their killing intents were gathered down on a sole target, one could imagine just how terrifying it would be?

  Whether it be the Heavenly River Navy Fleet or Zhongyang Clan’s army of war chariots, they were all yearning to dismember Zhong Yue into thousands of pieces. After all, Zhong Yue’s sudden casting of the imperial charm almost killed them all, so how would they even forgive him?

  “Mister Yi…” In Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen secret realms, Mu Qingxuan said in a trembling tone, “My father has given me a skill charm before I left the Xian Tian Palace. He said I can use it when I am in danger, should I take it out now?”

  In his Yuan Shen secret realms, Bo Di, Dong Ah, and the others were also trembling in the midst of the intense killing intent. When they heard her, they quickly whined, “Princess, why didn’t you say so earlier? If we used it together with the imperial charm, we might just be able to repel the two imperial-level treasures and find a way out. But it’s too late now, the imperial charm’s power has been depleted already!”

  Mu Qingxuan was dumbfounded and became dejected. Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s Xian Tian Skill Charm alone wasn’t enough to defeat the two imperial-level treasures, it was indeed too late to bring it out now.

  “Imperial Emperor gave you a skill charm before you left?” Zhong Yue, how
ever, was startled and asked solemnly.

  Mu Qingxuan nodded, she sighed dispiritedly, “But I was too negligent to use it when we needed it. If only I’d taken it out earlier…”

  “Not too late, not yet…” Zhong Yue heaved a breath.

  In his Dao Yi Secret Realm, the totem patterns waltzed and emerged exponentially. In just seconds, there were already more than billions of totem patterns emerging all over the place, forming into flowing streams that sometimes crossed paths and intertwined with one another.

  In just a short moment, he had replicated the Karmic Web he built in the Human Sovereign Library. These Karmic Lines were changing and reforming, calculating the possible future projections of their current situations.

  Among the trillions of Karmic Lines in the whole Karmic Web, when the one that represented Imperial Emperor Xian Tian changed, the Karmic Line that resembled Mu Qingxuan also changed which also affected Zhong Yue’s Karmic Line. Then the Luli Clan’s, the Zhongyang Clan’s, the Heavenly Monarch’s Diming Clan’s, and many more Karmic Lines were affected and seeing changes.

  At the same time, a Karmic Line around Imperial Emperor Xian Tian changed, it shot out from its initial position and flashed past Zhong Yue’s, Mu Qingxuan’s, and the other’s Karmic Lines.

  This Karmic Line harbored the air of changes and intelligence, it didn’t intercept itself with Zhong Yue’s, nor the Zhongyang Clan’s, Luli Clan’s, and Di Ming Clan’s Karmic Lines.

  It was strange, it felt like it was just an observer, watching as Zhong Yue, the Zhongyang Clan, Luli Clan, and Diming Clan fooling around!

  Moments later, Zhong Yue smirked and laughed, “I see it now, I see it now… King Zi Guang, why aren’t you coming to save the princess?”

  His voice was loud and clear, shuddering the clouds apart and reached to the firmaments.

  Mu Qingxuan, Bo Di, and the others were shocked. They quickly looked up and exclaimed, “Junior Martial Uncle Zi Guang is here?”
