Rise of Humanity

  Xin Huo angrily shouted, “Every time you visit him, my heart beats quickly and I had to hide myself!”

  Zhong Yue burst out laughing, “Hahaha, he is gentle when he dissects the gods, fearing that his actions will damage their bodies and souls!”

  His words immediately received Xin Huo’s angry stare again.

  Meanwhile, after seeing this little flame standing on Zhong Yue’s shoulder, Hundun Yu immediately recorded this down, I’ve never seen this little flame before. Mister Yi indeed has a lot of secrets.

  Two months later, the ancient ship arrived at Quasi Star Region and Zhong Yue slightly frowned after stopping here for he saw gods setting camps around as they planned to set up a base here.

  It’s the Getian Clan’s army.

  Zhong Yue was surprised; the Getian Clan must have been involved in the war but this monarch race was much more cautious as this move was obviously an attempt to seek a safe place for part of their people. If they lost in the war, their people would be preserved, and with that, they would be able to continue the Getian Clan’s existence.

  Suddenly, an Imperial Emperor looked towards Zhong Yue’s direction with an immensely sharp gaze, creating sparks in the void and a bolt of lightning struck towards Zhong Yue!

  His senses were incredibly sharp; even after hiding inside the endless layers of dimensions, he could still catch onto Zhong Yue’s and trace him all the way into the dimensions!

  In an instant, Zhong Yue moved the ship away, evading the lightning strike. He hid deeper into the dimensions as he had no intention to seek trouble, Hmmm, even the monarch races are feeling uncomfortable with the war. Seems like they are preparing beforehand in case of anything.

  The Getian Clan’s Imperial Emperor was a little confused after losing track of Zhong Yue, causing him to murmur, “Who is this? He is heading right towards Quasi Star Region? Is he residing in there or what? This isn’t good at all, are we still going to enter Quasi Star Region? Will we anger him if we did?”

  Meanwhile, the ancient ship sailed into Quasi Star Region and after telling Hundun Yu to stay in the ship, Zhong Yue got out and headed right into the Yu Ling Palace.

  The innate demonic dragon bowed and said, “Second master.”

  Zhong Yue smiled, “So you’re out today?”

  The dragon honestly replied, “Master said that I get to have a rest today.”

  “I am here today to bring your master out and you will be free from now on. Apart from that, you will also be able to witness the excitement of the outside world. My Heaven Suppression Fortress is at war now and you will shine brightly with your skills.”

  The innate demon dragon lost his words for a second and he curled around right away and sighed, “Which means that after being experimented by master, I will have to go into a war for the second master? Why am I so unfortunate?”

  Zhong Yue was speechless at this reaction and he decided to leave this whining dragon alone and entered the palace, where he was welcomed by both Xing Tian and Shi Tuo. Xing Tian then smiled, “Shi Tuo and I heard that Uncle Zhong is talking about going out for war? Uncle, I am so damn bored staying here!”

  “Who taught you how to speak in such a foul manner?”

  Zhong Yue gave the teenager an angry look, who quickly glanced at Shi Tuo and Shi Tuo shouted, “I did not!”

  Zhong Yue frowned again and he said, “If you want to go out, don’t come to my Heaven Suppression Fortress. Go look for the Human Sovereign, Jiang Yiji and let him arrange both of you.”

  The disappointed duo lost their spirit in a blink of an eye and that was when Feng Xiaozhong came out asking confusedly, “Junior martial brother, you want me to go out?”

  Zhong Yue nodded and just as he was about to voice out his thoughts and ideas to persuade Feng Xiaozhong, the man had already nodded, “Okay.”

  Zhong Yue was caught off guard and he smiled right away, “Senior martial brother, what made you agree to my invitation?”

  Chapter 1020: Again Entering The Heaven Court |

  Feng Xiaozhong calmly replied, “There are some unpleasant guests out there. This place is no longer a quiet and peaceful place for my research with them here. I am not afraid of them, but I’d rather not have to deal with unnecessary troubles. Who would have known that there would be no place for our Yu Ling Palace now even with this vast world…..”

  “Master, this is called the Big Black Palace,” whispered softly Xing Tian.

  Feng Xiaozhong was not bothered at all and he continued, “If there is no place for us, then I will clear a space for us! The heaven and earth will be all under Yu Ling Palace and everyone in this world will be my test subjects!”

  Zhong Yue looked at Feng Xiaozhong with admiration. This decision to head out was actually a test for Feng Xiaozhong’s mentality.

  Although his statement of making the world into his test subjects made him sound like an evil demon king.

  They were both men of knowledge, so it was natural for Zhong Yue to empathize with Feng Xiaozhong, but in the eyes of others, he was definitely even more sinister than a demon king!

  “Senior martial brother, I will not be around the fortress for a few years. I plan on entering the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch, please tell me the path you took when you traversed it back then.” asked Zhong Yue.

  “Now? Fine, now is quite a good time to enter the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch. That place is a piece of the Imperial Star from the Fire Order Era, it is located right beside the Imperial Star.”

  His psyche wavered and paved out the star map with the path he walked marked out to Zhong Yue.

  After taking a quick glance, Zhong Yue’s heart thumped and he shouted, “This… this is the Heavenly Prison?”

  The exit Feng Xiaozhong exited the Imperial Road from was near to the Heavenly Prison!

  The prison was located right beside the Heaven Court. At the top was Bi Luo Palace, and deep in the Heavenly Prison were imprisoned terrifying individuals like Crown Prince Fu Shang!

  Each and every one of them that were locked away in the prison posed massive threats to Heaven’s rule!

  The Heavenly Prison Abyss was built somewhere out of the reach of Heaven Court. Not even the Heavenly Monarch had control over it.

  And yet, Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch’s exit was right under the prison; back then, when Feng Xiaozhong entered Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch and teleported to the Zi Wei Galaxy, he came out out of this exit.

  Zhong Yue took a careful look at the map and memorized it. The Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch was a two-way path, if someone was able to enter Zi Wei from the Celestial Fire Star through Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch, then the reverse was possible.

  However, with the solar galaxy around the Ancestral Star entirely locked down, there was no way to teleport there anymore.

  “The portal underneath the prison is sealed as well. When I got out of there, it was no longer working. If you head over there, you will discover that there …”

  Feng Xiaozhong’s expression faltered before he continued, “That place… hmmm, it’s very strange. You will know when you are there.”

  Zhong Yue looked at the star map drawn by Feng Xiaozhong. He said that the exit was far away from the Heaven Court, but on the map, it was right beside the Heaven Court, which puzzled Zhong Yue greatly.

  Feng Xiaozhong then started moving the sacred mountain, ascending into the skies, “There are many wonders in this universe, whatever you see doesn’t necessarily have to be real. You will know when you arrive there…. Junior martial brother, farewell.”

  “Farewell, senior martial brother.” bowed Zhong Yue.

  The sacred mountain rumbled and disappeared into the thin air.

  Zhong Yue returned to the ancient ship and thought, The damaged portal is not a problem. With Xin Huo who had witnessed the process of Sui Sovereign creating Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch, we could repair it with ease. I should be careful though, it is so close to the Heaven Court, Heavenly Pris
on and Bi Luo Palace….

  The ancient ship’s wings flapped, heading toward the Heaven Court.

  With Senior Martial Brother Feng around, the difficulty of taking down the Heavenly Suppression Fortress has just increased tenfold.

  Zhong Yue had immense confidence in Feng Xiaozhong; with him around, Zhong Yue’s heart was at ease.

  The ancient ship sailed for half a year before arriving at Zi Wei Imperial Star. Without bothering to hide his tracks, Zhong Yue sailed right in the Heavenly River as the Heavenly River Navy Fleet and Panhu Navy were all at Heavenly Suppression Fortress. Thus, he could traverse the river with impunity.

  But Zhong Yue still carefully surveyed his surroundings. This was, after all, the Heaven Court. It was close to Bi Luo Palace and there was a mysterious Heavenly Prison nearby.

  The Heavenly Monarch very much wants to kill me but little does he know I have already sneaked into the Heaven Court….

  The young man was a little excited, and that was when he saw a divine tree on the Heaven Surveillance Division’s Sky Observing Stage lighting up brightly. The leaves on the tree turned into pairs of eyes and they all turned towards the Heavenly River!

  Zhong Yue had a fright and he immediately dove deeper into the dimension!

  “Strange, I am sure I saw something just now… [Eight Eyes Void Peek]!”

  The divine tree let out a voice and as its branches and leaves shook vigorously, it turned into an Imperial Emperor with eight arms, each with an eye in the palm. He stacked his palms together and faced them deep towards the Heavenly River’s dimension!

  At the same time, after noticing the bright light that gave off an uneasy sensation, Zhong Yue immediately moved the ship even deeper into the dimension.

  That Imperial Emperor, who was standing on the stage, moved his palms quickly, scanning through the dimensions and suddenly shouting, “Tian Ting!”

  The many Tian Ting generals rushed into his summon and the Imperial Emperor shouted, “Something had snuck into the Heavenly River! Use your enhanced hearing to scan the area for abnormalities!”

  The many generals immediately turned their ears towards the Heavenly River; one after another, massive ears emerged and some of them even flew out, landed into the river like flesh-colored flower petals floating on the river and started listening to the movements in the dimensions.

  Upon seeing the flesh-colored flower petals, Zhong Yue knew that things were turning sour quickly and he immediately sailed to the deepest part of the dimensions, retracting the ship’s wings and stopping entirely!

  This was the furthest he was able to go. If he failed to escape from the enemy’s detection even now, he would be out of options!

  On the river’s surface, an eerie scene was formed as the ears floated on the water. These ears would quiver from time to time and the Imperial Emperor’s vision scanned right into the darkness and lit up the dark.

  These ears were also listening deep into the dimensions.

  After some time, the many Tian Ting generals reported, “Commander, there are no movements in the river.”

  With eyes like fire, the Imperial Emperor’s vision burned through the dimensions and was quickly burning right towards the dimension where Zhong Yue was located.

  Seeing this, Zhong Yue sighed in disappointment, Seems like it’ll be impossible to sneak into the Heaven Court now….

  But just when he was about to leave in the ancient ship, he felt his surroundings begin to squeeze him, and a humongous head reached out from the river, completely blocking the Imperial Emperor’s vision.

  It was an old turtle bathed in immense monarch presence. It slowly opened its eyes and the flash in its eyes lit up the surrounding like thousand suns burning fierily.

  When the Imperial Emperor’s vision landed on this turtle, he had a shock and quickly moved his vision away with a heart pounding rapidly in nervous before shouting, “Elder! I thought there is an enemy who sneaked into the Heaven Court. I had no intention of offending you, please forgive me!”

  The turtle scowled and his voice was slammed into the Imperial Emperor’s brain like thunder roaring, stunning him so hard that he felt like puking.

  “You are really brave for disrupting my peace, take those ears away or I will erase them for you!”

  Hearing this, the Imperial Emperor quickly had the generals summon their ears back and they remained quiet on the stage.

  On the other hand, at the deepest part of the dimension, the other side of the turtle’s head was facing right the ancient ship, its other massive eye stared right at Zhong Yue, who was now sweating heavily. Zhong Yue was all tensed up and he dared not even move a finger under the gaze while Hundun Yu threw everything in to record this down.

  This was a terrifying monarch, one that was stronger than Heavenly Monarch Di Ming by countless times!

  Zhong Yue had seen Heavenly Monarch Di Ming, but compared to this one right here, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming was like just a baby!

  Yet, he had delivered himself right before this monarch’s eyes!

  The old turtle’s eye rolled around before it closed his eye, its head slowly backed off from the dimensions and its body dived deep into the Heavenly River.

  “The last Fuxi survivor, you have the guts but you are reckless. Bah, I’ll go on my path and you continue with yours, don’t drag me into your matters …”

  Zhong Yue quickly shouted, “Elder, please stop!”

  The old turtle ignored Zhong Yue’s request and he continued diving down, “Young Fuxi, you are not strong enough to stir up chaos in this world and survive. But even once you reached that level, you will find yourself facing an even tougher situation ….”

  Zhong Yue’s heart was beating quickly; this turtle definitely did not show up without a reason so the only reason Zhong Yue could think of was that this turtle was here to keep Zhong Yue from being discovered!

  So why did the turtle help him?

  Besides, this old turtle knew who Zhong Yue was, accurately pointed out his identity so why did it still help Zhong Yue?

  Nong Sovereign once told me that there are still some who side with the Fuxi Celestial Race, could it be that this monarch is one of them?

  Zhong Yue suppressed his confusion and continued sailing towards the ancient ship. After this incident, Zhong Yue became even more cautious.

  This was after all, the Heaven Court, experts were like clouds here. If he was not careful, the famous Mister Yi would lose his life here today!

  But the most dangerous thing of all was not the Heaven Court but the Bi Luo Palace and Heavenly Prison! These two places were located side by side and they were all his targets!

  Gradually, Zhong Yue finally reached the vicinity of Bi Luo Palace and Heavenly Prison could be seen at this distance, Zhong Yue pressed his heart strongly to stop it from beating, his blood ceased flowing, his senses sealed away and the ancient ship’s wings stopped flapping as he slowly slides towards his destination with the momentum.

  At this second, time stopped flowing as well.

  The ancient ship slid past the chains around Bi Luo Palace, closed into the Heavenly Prison, where the wardens observed the surrounding carefully for any movements.

  These wardens were all giants.

  As the ship got closer, one of its wings glided past the air right before a warden’s nose tip and any simple movements from the warden would reveal the ship’s position!

  Thankfully, the ship was hidden in the dimension, therefore, the warden was not able to see it even when it was so close.

  Meanwhile, Zhong Yue had already sealed his senses, let the momentum to do the work and suddenly, one of the warden blinked his eyes and said, “I felt something around us.”

  Zi la—

  A divine lightning sparked and using this lightning like a whip, the warden swung it around like a lighting serpent dancing in the air.

  Suddenly, the whip collided with the gliding ancient ship, altering its direction right away and it immediately got sucked aw
ay by the abyss’ suction, causing it to fall right into the Heavenly Prison!

  At this moment, Zhong Yue couldn’t care less anymore and he immediately opened his senses to move the ship away from the abyss’ suction!

  Chapter 1021: Strongest Monarch Weapon |

  The two Heavenly Wardens immediately noticed the abnormalities. They turned around towards the ship’s direction and Zhong Yue immediately felt that he was being locked on by them!

  The two wardens grabbed towards the ancient ship, but without a sign, they groaned in pain and when they retracted their hands back, their hands were gone!

  The two surprised wardens turned their wrists around and they could clearly see the veins, bones and flesh, there was even blood flowing in and out!

  “Space Dao.”

  One of the wardens examined the severed side of his wrist and tried to clench his fist, and he found that he felt that his hand was still there, but it wasn’t.

  “Strange….”

  The other warden also clenched his fist as he said, “Seems like an art from the Dark Age, no totems but a complete system, very much different from the Space Dao now.”

  Their expression was very strange. Even when their hand was already like that, there was literally no shock or panic on their faces as if they wore the same expression forever.

  After that, using their hand that was severed, they performed a jab and shouted, “Burst!”

  A creaking sound sounded in the dimensions with that jab and pieces of severed hand flew out, the ancient ship’s wings sliced their hand into pieces, throwing these pieces into different dimensions. But with their immense power, the two wardens were able to summon their hand back by breaking the dimensions!

  “Jia Zi, you stay here, I’ll go take a look at this weird existence that dares to intrude the prison.”

  After that, one of them started following after the scent left behind by Zhong Yue.

  Just as he was about to chase after Zhong Yue, Mister Bi Luo had walked out from Bi Luo Palace and asked, “What was that just now?”
