Rise of Humanity

  I can’t tarry anymore or I will die!

  Sui Qinghong let out a shout and flapped his wings rapidly. As soon as he moved, his defense area immediately got shattered and that triggered a net.

  His mind went blank right away and the next ting he knew, the nets had already changed directions and shined right upon him!

  Sui Qinghong let out a groan as he was sent flying away and he detected a terrifying presence charging at him from the back; Zhong Yue had blinked towards his back and struck his sabers down strongly!

  Zheng zheng zheng—

  After a series of clean and loud saber zings, Sui Qinghong’s light wheels were all slashed apart by Zhong Yue while Zhong Yue’s remaining two sabers decapitated Sui Qinghong’s nine heads!

  The energy and blood in Sui Qinghong immediately got disrupted, the light wheels behind his head vanished while Zhong Yue’s sabers shined and erupted like a blazing sun, unleashed a massacre among the Yu Lin Army, causing them to flee in fear. At the same time, under Chi Song’s command, the Xian Tian Royal Guard charged around and the Yu Lin Army fell like flies!

  Sui Qinghong on the other hand, used two of his heads to block off Zhong Yue’s sabers and his two heads fell right away but Sui Qinghong could not be bothered anymore as he fled quickly.

  “Yu Lin Army! Scatter!” screeched Sui Qinghong as he charged at the milky way suppressed by the Fusang Divine Tree and attacked Yin Fukang and the elders decisively!

  Knowing clearly how powerful this man was, the elders immediately backed off, giving him the chance to rescue his two generals but at the same time, the milky way rumbled as the divine tree unrooted and slammed towards him as Zhong Yue controlled the tree and slammed it towards Sui Qinghong!

  Facing right at this incoming attack, Sui Qinghong and the two generals immediately put up their defence but they were still injured after taking this attack head on. Without even thinking, Sui Qinghong turned into a seven headed divine bird, which was originally a nine headed one but two heads were severed by Zhong Yue. He flapped his wings, grabbed onto his generals and shouted, “Disperse the Yu Lin Army!”

  The two generals stumbled for a second and they immediately understood what their commander meant; if they continued carrying these soldiers around, they themselves would be the largest target and their enemies would definitely chase after them and kill them all.

  But when scattered, everyone would have their own chance to fight for their life!

  The two generals let out a sigh, released the Yu Lin Army and shouted, “Run! Flee for your lives and meet us back in the Huangting Clan!”

  The soldiers scattered right away but at the same time, Zhong Yue was already beside the divine tree, carried it up and swung it around, unleashing divine rays that swept across the field, splitting the dimensions and reaping the lives of the many Yu Lin Army along with it!

  On the other hand, together, Yin Fukang and the elders struck down the remaining one Yu Lin Army’s general and when the Yu Lin Army in his secret realms fled away, many of them were killed by the seven Imperial Emperors!

  Zhong Yue flew out from the Stone Sentinel Maze and shouted, “Clear them all! You have ten days and after that, come back to this place!”

  Having their order received, Chi Song and the rest immediately chased after the Yu in Army; this time, the Xian Tian Royal Guard also sustained casualties amounting up to 3,000,000 soldiers and there were a few hundred deaths among the 8,000 Fuxi!

  Zhong Yue let the Fusang Divine Tree away, returning it to Hundun Yu and he activated the ancient ship while the Imperial Emperors returned back to the ship.

  As the wings flapped quickly, the ancient ship split the skies open and disappeared!

  “Its easy to find a new Imperial Emperor as outstanding as Sui Qinghong but to recruit another army like the Yu Lin Army, it would take more than just ten thousand years!”

  Yin Fukang looked at the fleeing Yu Lin Army, running around like headless flies, only to be surrounded by Xian Tian Royal Guards and he said, “Yu Lin Army is no more from now onwards.”

  Zhong Yue replied, “Sui Qinghong is not as important as the Yu Lin Army but he is still a peak Imperial Emperor. If he is among the invaders, he will still pose extreme threat to us! This is when he is weakest now. We should take this change to eliminate him!”

  The ship’s speed increased gradually and slowly, they caught up with Sui Qinghong, who was now fleeing away quickly with the two generals in tow!

  Yin Fukang and the six elders immediately launched powerful attacks, but they disappointedly realized that their attacks could not reach Sui Qinghong for he was just too fast!

  A day later, the ancient ship caught on to Sui Qinghong, rendering him with no choice but to stop and fight back; Zhong Yue maneuvered the ship around, circling the three of them while Yin Fukang and the six elders rained down attacks onto Sui Qinghong and his generals.

  After three days of fighting and escaping, the trio had suffered injuries all over and four days later, another general bravely died fighting for his own cause, leaving only Sui Qinghong and one last general.

  When that happened, Sui Qinghong could not do anything and he watched and shouted angrily as his general died fighting. But two days later, the same thing repeated, the final general fighting alongside him had sacrificed himself in this war.

  So, this is how it ends.

  Despair devoured Sui Qinghong, but the ancient ship retreated just when Sui Qinghong waited for his death, leaving him stunned with an empty mind as the ancient ship disappeared entirely.

  Covered in blood, Sui Qinghong limped away, struggled to fly into the air and he thought, He did not kill me? Why? It’s only a matter of time until I run out of strength and energy to resist so why did he retreat?

  At the same time, shadow overwhelmed him and when he looked up, the Heavenly River Navy Fleet appeared in his vision.

  So that’s why.

  He thought before he collapsed onto the ground.

  Chapter 1013: Undefeatable And Victorious |

  A few minutes later, he stood back up on his feet, using up all the strength left in him to fly forward, where Lou Zhengshi immediately approached him.

  Before Lou Zhengshi could reach him, Sui Qinghong lost his strength in mid-air and landed on one knee. His wounds all burst apart while blood gushed out.

  Lou Zhengshi quickly helped Sui Qinghong on his wounds, whose injuries were very serious and the man was on the verge of dying. Lou Zhengshi shouted right away, “Senior Martial Brother Sui, did Imperial Emperor Xian Tian attack you? How is it possible for just Mister Yi alone to inflict such heavy injuries on you?”

  With a pale face, Sui Qinghong weakly replied, “No, it’s Mister Yi and the Yinkang Clan. We were forced into a face to face battle by King Yi and his men. They defeated us and I’m afraid little remains of the Yu Lin Army.”

  Shocked and stunned by this bad news, Lou Zhengshi’s expression changed drastically.

  With little remained of the Yu Lin Army, they might still have the power to fight but their mind had been shattered.

  Yu Lin Army is done for. Thought Lou Zhengshi.

  On the ancient ship, Yin Fukang turned around at the direction where they left Sui Qinghong and sighed, “What a shame.”

  “Sui Qinghong can be killed but the Heavenly River Navy Fleet is also approaching so we must go no matter what.”

  Zhong Yue and the others returned to the Red Stars Canyon quickly while he said, “Yu Lin Army can’t take on a fight like this but the Heavenly River Navy Fleet is an expert in this kind of fight. We have limited time so we need to surround the Panhu Navy with the Heaven Riding Fortress’s army according to our plan. We musn’t waste any time just to kill Sui Qinghong.”

  Meanwhile, it had been ten days and the Xian Tian Royal Guards had all returned, but throughout the pursuit, there were still about 200,000 soldiers that sacrificed themselves. However, the Xian Tian Royal Guards had seized more than 2,000,000 of the Yu Lin Army.


  After throwing the prisoners onboard, the ancient ship moved and vanished from the scene.

  The Yu Lin Army is no more and it’s time to deal with Panhu Navy! However, these prisoners must not come with us for we must ensure the purity in our men. If these impurities are added into our men, they will affect our men’s mind and determination. The prisoners will be dispatched to the nine towns and trained again there.

  Zhong Yue arrived at Wen Town, dropping these prisoners down and ordering Fu Wen to keep some of them before distributing the rest to the other towns.

  After that, Bi An took out the herbs and medicines they seized in the war and Zhong Yue distributed them to the soldiers so that they could treat their injuries.

  Everyone was all worn out and after receiving the herbs and medicines, the soldiers quietly treated their wounds and rested silently while awaiting the next battle.

  Right now, only about 16,000,000 men remained in the Xian Tian Royal Guards, about a few hundreds from the 8,000 Fuxi had died in the battle as well; this was the first time Xian Tian Royal Guards suffered such heavy loss.

  These brave souls who fell in the battle were all their friends, brothers with whom they broke bread with, trained and lived with. But now, they were separated by the gulf that was life and death.

  “Their morale is not looking good now.”

  Yin Fukang looked at the soldiers and whispered to Zhong Yue, “Your army may have taken part in many battles but they have never experience such losses before. If you don’t resolve this problem, you will be the one who will be defeated in the next battle! You may be a strategist and a very smart general but if you lose the synergy with your army, you won’t be able to do anything despite your individual brilliance.”

  Zhong Yue nodded and right away, he walked past his soldiers with heavy footsteps.

  Dong dong dong—

  His footsteps resonated with the heartbeats of the soldiers, sounding like drum beats and the soldiers’ hearts beat to his footsteps.

  “My brave warriors, the war for the throne is here.”

  With a sore, deep, calm and charismatic tone, Zhong Yue spoke in a steady pace but his tone hyped with each word.

  “This war has nothing to do with us, but none of us can escape from it! This heaven we stand below and this earth we stand on had became a hellish oven with everyone of us trapped inside! No matter where we are, where we go, we wouldn’t be able to escape from it!”

  “But, if we prevail from this hellish oven, we will rise and achieve things we could only dream of!”

  “Our fallen brothers are still with us, standing by our side and watching us from above!”

  “Everything they left behind, their mission, achievements and dreams, will be completed by us. Their brave spirits will be praying for us, rooting for us and we who are still breathing today will carry their dreams on our back!”

  “We must not let them die in vain!”

  The eyes of the many soldiers fixed on him, their eyes moved as Zhong Yue moved, heart beat along with his footsteps while their blood and soul boiled with Zhong Yue’s speech!

  “Look at the sword in your hands, ask it, can it still fight!”

  “Put your hands on your chest, ask your heart, can it still fight!”

  “What do we want!”

  “Victory!”

  “What are we!”

  “Undefeatable and victorious!!

  “Undefeatable and victorious!!

  Blood boiling battlecries were head, echoing far away while the thousand winged ancient ship sailed away quickly in the void.

  The morale is good right now but once we suffer more losses, this hype will die off rapidly.

  Zhong Yue looked at his pumped up soldiers and thought, Without an Innate War Spirit Body, the only way to keep these warriors blood thirsty and hunger for victory is to win battles, one after another and be victorious every time!

  The Innate War Spirit Body could spike a person’s hunger for battle and victory, pushing the warriors to their peak form. In a peaceful era, Innate War Spirit Body would be useless, but at times like this, every one of them would be priceless. But similar to the Innate Curse Spirit Body, it was extremely rare.

  Until now, Zhong Yue had yet fo find any similar innate spirit bodies among his men, the others like the Innate Plague Spirit Body, Innate Poison Spirit Body, Innate Life Spirit Body and others were also rare!

  However, each one of them weighed as much as an Imperial Emperor’s affection towards the war!

  There were more of these innate spirit bodies within the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds and the ancient universe. While Zi Wei also had these spirit bodies, the amount of them in Zi Wei was significantly less.

  What caused this phenomenon was because most of the sacred grounds’ living beings lived in the Heavens and Zi Wei’s Heavens were often connected by the great presences and forged by Imperial Emperors.

  Only some sovereign races possessed quite a number of wild and natural stars and only after being worshipped will these stars give birth to spirits.

  On the other hand, the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds were formed by the monarch level existences’ Six Paths Reincarnation, making them much higher level than the Zi Wei, hence, there were more spirit bodies in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds.

  An example was Zhong Yue’s identity as Gu Yue, who had already gathered quite a number of innate spirit bodies.

  And because of how ancient it was, there were also a lot of them in the ancient universe.

  About ten days later, the many gods on the ancient ship could vaguely see the Panhu Navy and the reinforcements from the Heaven Riding Fortress.

  The banners on Panhu Navy’s fleet stood everywhere as this sovereign race created a galactic river made of stars and intercepted the Heaven Riding Fortress reinforcements.

  While Heaven Riding Fortress’s commander, Imperial Emperor Fu Ya’s soldiers was powerful, his navy was nowhere close to Panhu Navy; after a prolonged battle, both sides had suffered casualties.

  Panhu Navy was here with only one purpose, to stall the reinforcements, therefore, they did not go all out against Fu Ya, but instead, harassed his army constantly.

  But Imperial Emperor Fu Ya had nothing he could do against this situation, for his navy was not as strong as the Panhu Clan’s; just as his navy was dispatched, his fleet was devoured by the star beasts released by the Panhu Navy and got wiped out immediately.

  As such, Imperial Emperor Fu Ya could only hide in his camp and engaged the enemy in small scale battles.

  Out of nowhere, Zhong Yue drove the ancient ship right into the Panhu Navy from the back, the ship landed right onto the river, clashed with a Panhu Navy’s warship and shattering it, dropping the many Panhu soldiers into the river!

  This Heavenly River was, after all, not the real one but something forged by the Panhu Clan, which allowed the Panhu soldiers to survive; seconds later, the Xian Tian Royal Guards rained down attacks into the river and killed all of the Panhu soldiers.

  “Senior Martial Brother Fu Ya, are you there?” asked Zhong Yue loudly while standing on the ship’s bow.

  “King Yi!”

  Imperial Emperor Fu Ya flew into the air happily, looking towards the ship and laughing in joy and surprise, “This old man here is ashamed. I wanted to support you in the battle but instead, I needed your help! Be careful, King Yi, this river is a weapon they created and there are star beasts lurking in it.”

  Hua la—

  Massive beasts emerged from the water, their tentacles rampaged around and started twining around the ancient ship. With a roar, Zhong Yue rotated the ship around and when its wings flapped, these wings severed the tentacles like sharp blades!

  At the same time, the warriors hurled down attacks into the river again, dying the water bloody red as the beasts were being killed one after another.

  Zhong Yue then rammed the ancient ship towards another Panhu Clan’s warship and shouted, “Senior Martial Brother Fu Ya, can you still fight!”

&
nbsp; Imperial Emperor Fu Ya burst out laughing and had all the warriors from Heaven Riding Fortress launch an all-out attack!

  Suddenly, the Heavenly River rumbled, rogue waves soared high and the waves hurled the ancient ship into the air, throwing the Xian Tian Royal Guards off balance.

  Then, the Heavenly River sank without a sign and the ancient ship fell between two rogue waves before warships emerged from the overwhelming waves, each filled with Panhu Clan’s gods. These three dog headed gods unleashed an arrow rain towards the ancient ship, attempting to kill Xian Tian Royal Guards while they were all thrown off balance!

  “King Yi, you are really brave to charge right into our Panhu Clan’s Lesser Heavenly River!”

  On one of the command ships stood a Panhu Clan’s Imperial Emperor. This one was that Panhu Clan’s elder, Pan Yue, who Zhong Yue saw him once a very long time ago; he was one of the two Imperial Emperors that were lured away by Bi An back in the unworldly world and the cause of Feng Wuji falling into Zhong Yue’s hands.

  This old man had his nose pulled around by Fu Li and Bi An, chased them both across the entire Zi Wei Galaxy and after seeing Zhong Yue, who caused all the problems to him, the anger in Pan Yue burnt ferociously.

  “Today, you will die here and I’ll see to your death personally!”

  Before his voice even faded, the ancient ship trembled and vanished from his vicinity while the arrows landed in the water.

  Pan Yue let out an angry roar and under his signal, the Panhu gods channeled their energy into the river, transforming it with their strength and spreading it across the galaxy like a silver dragon.

  This silver dragon twined around in the centre of the Panhu Navy’s protection and suddenly, loud explosions sounded out as gigantic flying fortresses slammed right onto the silver dragon-like Heavenly River; the Heaven Riding Fortress’s army was controlling these fortresses and their attacks impacted the dragon heavily!

  The thousand winged ancient ship appeared out of nowhere, ramming the dragon, shattering it into two parts. The Heaven Riding Fortress’s flying fortresses immediately exploited this chance by showering the dragon with attacks!
