Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  Their grand ancestor and the race sovereign, Sovereign Ba, may be dead, but the Fei Yi Celestial Race wasn’t left defenseless too. This was a race filled with experts, there were over a hundred Deity Emperors and even four Creators along with countless Deity Overlords and True Deities.

  The Fei Yi Celestial Race was now made into an unbreakable stronghold. The array formations were in place, the cannons and archers filled the city walls and roofs, and the flag banners were fluttering in the wind.

  In the city were warships powered by millions of gods hovering the air. They were all combat-ready, just waiting for a signal to be released to wars.

  “Child Yi!” A Fei Yi Creator breaths, casting out his Secular World, it was strong and powerful. He shouted, “Child Yi, you dare to invade our land? How presumptuous! With just only a million gods and you have the guts to challenge our Fei Yi Celestial race! Today, you have come alive but you will not return living still!”

  Zhong Yue didn’t answer, he raised his hand and swung Sovereign Ba’s decapitated head to the Fei Yi celestials. The huge snakehead destroyed a few mountains along its way before settling just right in front of the city gate.

  The Fei Yi experts were enraged and right away, there were a few Deity Emperors that lead hundreds of thousand gods out from the city gate. A team of them went to retrieve Sovereign Ba’s head while the others charged for the Xian Tian Royal Guards.

  Thye Xian Tian Royal Guards activated the eight array formations and clashed with the Fei Yi celestials. The eight array formations, Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, Dui, all unleashed their powers and expanded a Secular World each!

  The array formations were quick to change, slaughtering the Fei Yi experts within seconds.

  The cries of battle resounded their ears. In the face of these eight array formations, even Deity Emperors were trapped in it, no matter how hard they tried, they could never fight a way out from the eight slaughtering arrays.

  Meanwhile, the three Heavens were hovering high in the air, surging their powers into the Stone Sentinel Maze, enhancing its power every second!

  “Not good!” The Creators in the sacred land changed their faces drastically. The warships sailed out and the banners fluttered violently. The Deity Emperors and Deity Overlords swarmed out to rescue their trapped comrades and even three of the four Creators had stepped into the battlefield, leaving only one behind to secure the sacred land’s safety.

  The array formations were formed, various in kinds and large in numbers. The three Creators also cast out their Secular Worlds, striking their boundless powers on the Stone Sentinel Maze. One of the Creators even had its attack aimed at the Kirin carriage.

  Yin Fanxuan gave a cold sneer and her hand quivered for a second. The three Heavens above the Kirin carriage suddenly burst into rays and deflected the Creator’s attack.

  The Kirin carriage burst its power out, glimmering with colorful rays. No matter how strong the Creator was, he couldn’t leave a single scratch on the carriage at all.

  On the carriage, Zhong Yue cast the [Innate Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art], the totem patterns were waltzing around him and connected themselves to the Stone Sentinel Maze. A loud sound of explosion repleted the battlefield concomitant with the rise of a terrifying air. Zhong Yue’s prowess was raised all the way up to the level of a peak Deity Emperor!

  The million Xian Tian Royal Guards had also disappeared in the process, they’d become part of the array formation. Now, they won’t have to worry about getting killed by those like the Creators.

  In order to kill them now, the enemies would first have to break the array formation. Only when the [Innate Celestial Demon Tai Chi Eight Trigrams Art] was shattered, they would suffer casualties!

  At the same time, the three Heavens were cascading light rays down onto him. The powers of the Heavens were injected into the [Innate Celestial Demon Tai Chi Eight Trigrams Art], providing him with an inexhaustible amount of arcane energy!

  The three Creators charged at him with their true forms, all of them wielding their unique skills and divine weapons.

  One of them had transformed his twin tails into twin whips. When the divine whips lashed out, purple lightning would form in the air with burning godly flames.

  Another Creator nurtured his venom fangs into twin sabers, cutting through the array formation and lunging for Zhong Yue!

  The third Creator cultivated his eyes into bright mirrors, wherever they shone, everything melted!

  Zhong Yue pulled out the Innate Divine Saber. This divine saber that was forged into the level of Imperial Emperor-level weapons by Fu Shang was incredibly strong. With the flash of a saber ray, the twin whips were slashed into halves, the bright mirrors shattered, and the twin sabers were pulverized into granules!

  His saber strike was like the lights of suns and moons. Wherever it slashed, Deity Emperors would cry in pain and terror, and fall from the sky; the warships were severed into halves and sent crashing to the ground; even the array formations were crushed away!

  The Innate Divine Saber was far too powerful. Even though Zhong Yue was boosted to the level of a peaked Deity Emperor, he still couldn’t fully unleash its power. But even so, the array formation he was standing on and the saber he was wielding was enough to make him invincible at the Creator level!

  As the saber ray ceased, the skies became painted red and the warships were reduced to debris. The Deity Emperors eventually lost their strength and fell from the sky like ragdolls.

  Even the three Creators were all injured as they struggled to hold their formation while fighting with Zhong Yue!

  Chi—

  The saber ray that elicited despair flashed in their eyes again, and the next thing they knew, they were falling to the floor. They had never been this gravely wounded before, whether it be to their Yuan Shen or mortal body.

  Meanwhile, in the Fei Yi sacred land, the only safe and sound Creator was in shock and terror. His eyes flared wide in fear as he saw Zhong Yue raising the saber and bringing it down in a slashing motion.

  Krong—

  The city gate and city wall was split into two halves!

  The Fei Yi Creator gave a loud shriek, turned, and fled from the scene. Zhong Yue flipped the Innate Divine Saber and like a mirror, shone the saber surface at the escaping Fei Yi Creator.

  The Fei Yi Creator’s deepest cultivation secrets, his flaws and openings, the Dao he cultivated, his Yuan Shen and mortal body, everything was exposed to Zhong Yue.

  All of the Creator’s flaws were shown clearly to Zhong Yue!

  The Innate Divine Saber has turned into a longbow and an arrow was shot out from the full drawn bow. It shot through the Fei Yi Creator’s mortal body and Yuan Shen, and brought him into the sun, nailed him on the sun’s core.

  The Fei Yi Celestial Race tumbled into chaos, the clansmen brought their families, friends, and their properties away in all directions. Zhong Yue expanded the array formation and ordered, “All men, raid and plunder, invade and capture! Kill those who resist!”

  Bing Rong, Huo Rong, and the other Fuxi leaders lead the army and swarmed into the Fei Yi sacred land. They scattered out all across and held the Fei Yi gods captives, suppressed those who resisted, and plundered their wealth!

  Chapter 890: Fight War With War |

  The battle impaired the Fei Yi Celestial Race’s top powers. With the Creators and Deity Emperors now gravely injured, the rest of the Fei Yi experts were no more than powerless lambs to the Xian Tian Royal Guards. Zhong Yue wasn’t even needed to step in anymore.

  Chi Song and the rest went around and taken the Fei Yi experts as captives. They were captured and immediately oppressed, although there were cases of heavy resistance, the Fei Yi Celestial Race had already lost.

  Even so, the resistance wasn’t easy to handle. There were Fei Yi experts that blood sacrificed themselves to connect to the Void World so they could bring their ancestors’ spirits down to help them. These spirits were enough to give trouble to the Xian Ti
an Royal Guards.

  Chi Song and the other leaders did their best to fight back against the descended Fei Yi spirits, and although they succeeded in the endm the Xian Tian Royal Guards suffered some casualties. But this was the path and destiny of soldiers, one that every soldier had to walk. Only through blood can they grow into elites.

  Around the sacred land were also planets inhabited by the Fei Yi Celestial Race. The gods there also had a certain level of power; thus, there were some sacred land’s Fei Yi experts that led their men to escape.

  The Xian Tian Royal Guards ignored those who escaped and continued plundering the sacred land. They swept through the vaults clean of everything of value.

  The Fei Yi Celestial Race was only a small clan in the grand scheme of things. They only had two ordinary third-tier Heavens, formed long ago from the Six Paths Reincarnations of their fallen Imperial Emperor. These two Heavens were far from the three Heavens hovering above the Kirin carriage.

  After all, the Yinkang Clan was a monarch race. Yin Fanxuan’s dowry was even richer and valuable than the whole of Fei Yi Celestial Race.

  But this was still a sacred land. There were many spiritual pellets and divine herbs, enough to last the Xian Tian Royal Guards for a thousand years. In addition to the divine materials they have plundered, and the jade liquid, the resource they had plundered were sufficient for the Xian Tian Royal Guards to see great improvements their prowess!

  The Kirin carriage strolled into the Fei Yi’s sacred land while Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan sat peacefully within. The sounds of battle were ringing nonstop beside the carriage but with the protection fo the Kirin carriage, none of the skills and weapons were able to lay on the carriage itself.

  “Yinxuan, the 24 Secular Worlds of your jade flute is mystical, how did you cultivate them?” Zhong Yue asked.

  This wife of his was absurdly strong. From when they have met, Zhong Yue was never a match for her. Her strongest forte was the jade flute, there were 24 wind holes on the flute and each represented a Secular World. It was truly powerful.

  During when Zhong Yue fought with her in the carriage, she has cast out the jade flute and unleashed the powers from the 24 Secular Worlds. He couldn’t have fought against the 24 Secular Worlds and was defeated quickly after.

  The Secular Worlds were display of powers to the level of the Creator, only the Creators could cultivate them. But Yin Fanxuan was just a Heavenly Deity and yet was able to cultivate 24 Secular Worlds on her flute, Zhong Yue couldn’t help but marvel at her talent.

  Yin Fanxuan chortled, “These 24 worlds aren’t the real Secular Worlds. Husband, look.”

  She cast out the jade flute and placed it on Zhong Yue’s hand. Zhong Yue examined it carefully and submerged his psyche into it. Immediately, he could see the 24 Secular Worlds in the jade flute. They weren’t real Secular Worlds but 24 little worlds that were captured and forged into the jade flute by Yin Fanxuan. With the assistance of the Dao she cultivated, these 24 little worlds were made as though they were the real Secular Worlds.

  Zhong Yue praised at it. Yin Fanxuan’s work was incredibly marvelous. Secular Worlds weren’t real worlds, they were the manifestations of the Creator’s Daos. This was why Secular Worlds granted the cultivator an incredible boost in power.

  Whereas in the real world, there were many things that weren’t the manifestations of Daos. Thus, its power was weaker than that of real Secular Worlds.

  Even though Yin Fanxuan wasn’t able to manifest the real Secular Worlds, she had captured 24 little worlds and used her natural affinity to Daos to inject the Dao into those 24 little worlds. This was exactly why her jade flute possessed such otherworldly powers.

  These 24 little worlds were different from one another. There was a water world filled with the Water Dao; a fire world of the Fire Dao; the earth worlds of the Earth Dao; the world of Star Dao, Wind Dao, Gold Dao, and many more others.

  Each of the 24 worlds represented a different Dao, it was truly a rare sight to behold.

  “The Heavenly River was the place that the paragons once tried to open a new universe. There were often treasures that could be found in the river. These 24 world pearls were found by me from the Heavenly River and I’ve forged them into the jade flute.” Yin Fanxuan smiled, “Our Heaven Suppressing Palace was also a place where the ancient presence tried to open up a new universe. There might be treasures like these somewhere around here too.”

  Zhong Yue nodded, “Seems like the Heaven Suppressing Palace is also a good place, far more valuable than the sacred land. Yinxuan, although the world pearls are natural-born treasures, your understandings of the Creator level are exceptional too. I am also quite proficient in this, why don’t we exchange our knowledge?”

  Yin Fanxuan was overjoyed, “Dear, I’ve always admired the Creator-level abstrusities that are included in your Stone Sentinel Maze. It’s of course better if we can exchange our knowledge.”

  Then, the husband and wife proceeded to share their understandings, discussing the Creator-level’s abstrusities while battles were raging on outside of the carriage.

  Chi Song was commanding the eight units, ordering them to scatter around the sacred land suppressing the resisting Fei Yi experts and breaking into the vaults to plunder treasures.

  Unbeknownst to the two, a month had flashed by and the battles have finally ceased. The Xian Tian Royal Guards raided the whole Fei Yi sacred land, each of them was emanating a deeply ferocious and courageous air.

  Zhong Yue walked out of the carriage and summoned the army. The Xian Tian Royal Guards have taken control over a hundred warships that were still in good condition and were not one of those that crashed and destroyed in the war.

  The warships were filled with the treasures and resources they had plundered. Other than that, there were also the war items like the war flags and banners, the war drums, the godly palaces, godly halls, and many more. The only shame was that there weren’t any war chariots.

  There were also a million Fei Yi captives, including over ten Deity Emperors and four Creators.

  These Deity Emperors and Creators were gravely injured by Zhong Yue in the battles, but they weren’t killed just yet. The grave wounds they have sustained left them powerless on the ground, not being able to escape until the Xian Tian Royal Guards have held them captives.

  Chi Song and the others stepped forth, they presented the captives and said, “Master, what shall we do with the captives?”

  “Tame them as mounts. These Deity Emperors and Creators, force them back to their true forms.” Zhong Yue said.

  Then, he imparted Feng Xiaozhong’s technique to control the other races to them. He said, “Teach the others this, tame and control the captives as your mounts. You have ten days to recover and prepare. Also, nurture the warships, war flags and banners, and the rest. After ten days, march for the Zheng Race’s sacred land.”

  Chi Song quickly said, “These Deity Emperors and Creators are beyond our capabilities. They might even turn back and harm us, why don’t we just kill them…”

  “Keep them, I have other plans.” Zhong Yue ordered, “When you’ve all recovered, assist me in refining them. Oh, and, bring along the Fei Yi’s two Heavens.”

  Chi Song nodded and said, “The spoils of war are arranged and ready to be received by master. I’ve already picked out the bests of the bests specially for master and mistress.”

  Zhong Yue smiled, “Spare that. All spoils of war will be taken as the army’s resources.”

  The leaders immediately cheered.

  After ten days, Zhong Yue summoned the Xian Tian Royal Guards and they marched for the Zheng Race. And just two months after they raided the Zheng Race’s sacred land, they have continued marching for the Meng Huai Celestial Race.

  During this time, Mu Suge was leading an army along with the war resources and arrived at the Heaven Suppressing Palace. To his shock, he found the Heaven Suppressing Palace long ago conquered by the Shan Hun Demon Race.

  Mu Suge
was shocked and in rage, he fought for the Heaven Suppressing Palace but was terribly defeated by the Shan Hun Demon Race, he left behind many bodies that day.

  “Third Child Mu!” A Creator stood on the city wall and laughed happily, “This majestic stronghold now belongs to our Shan Hun Demon Race! To be frank, we’ve already bowed to His Majesty Heavenly Monarch. Soon, His Majesty will send regular armies to seize this stronghold. By then, I’ll have you trampled to death!”

  “What is wrong with Mister Yi!” Mu Suge was in great anger, he quickly took out the totem pillar and contacted his father. He said, “Father, this is no good! I don’t know what Mister Yi had done, we’ve lost the Heaven Suppressing Palace!”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was greatly shocked, he quickly said, “Don’t try to claim the Heaven Suppressing Palace yet, I will arrive in a few days time. We will reclaim our lost stronghold! Men, bring King Zi Guang to me! Quickly!”

  King Zi Guang hurried to the palace and saw a gloomy Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. After Imperial Emperor Xian Tian explained the situation to King Zi Guang, he startled and asked, “Where is Mister Yi now?”

  “No news of him.”

  Just as Imperial Emperor Xian Tian answered, there was a guard that came rushing into the palace and knelt, he reported, “Imperial Emperor, 16 race sovereigns had ambushed the Heaven Suppressing Palace, they were all beheaded by Mister Yi!”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was shocked again, he exclaimed, “When was this? Why did I only hear it now?”

  The guard quickly replied, “A year ago. I’ve been hiding behind the stars near Heaven Suppressing Palace. When it happened, I didn’t waste a single second to come back and report it.”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was puzzled, he murmured, “Why is he just there and there would 16 sacred lands that besieged the Heaven Suppressing Palace?”

  King Zi Guang laughed in reply, “This is a trap, he intentionally appeared to be easy targets to them and lured the enemies to attack him. Imperial Emperor, the races around Heaven Suppressing Palace all go wherever the winds blow. Mister Yi’s lack of men surely would’ve tempted them to take the bait. With them able to claim the Heaven Suppressing Palace, they would be instantly be valued highly by the lords they serve. But it’s truly out of my expectation that Mister Yi could behead 16 Creator race sovereigns. Imperial Emperor, be at ease. Your subject here estimates that the Heaven Suppressing Palace will not be lost. It will still return to his hands.”
