Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  Zhong Yue did not see this coming and allowed Gui Youmin to get close. [Ten Underworlds]’s power erupted, [Ten Underworlds] was the famous art used by Gui Youmin, and also the art he relied on to survive, it was his most powerful art.

  The [Ten Underworlds] had a total of ten levels, all coming from his ten Heavens; the first level was not that terrifying as it was equivalent to a normal attack from an Imperial Emperor while the second level was as powerful as two Heavens stacked together.

  On the third level, it was as strong as three Heavens and the Heavens increased in each level.

  Once arriving at the tenth and final level, the power added up was the total power of all ten Heavens, also equivalent to all ten Imperial Emperors’ strengths condensed together!

  Besides, the power he used was the Underworlds’ power, one that specialized in dealing with the soul. Whether it be Qi Practitioners or gods, their soul would always be their weakness no matter how strong they became.

  Therefore, upon facing [Ten Underworlds] that specifically targeting souls, not many would be strong enough to withstand his full ten Heavens might, even most Imperial Emperors wouldn’t be able to take on six levels!

  Hong hong hong—

  Ten explosions sounded continuously as Gui Youmin’s [Ten Underworlds] entirely struck Zhong Yue without holding back. This was the first time he unleashed his full power and the next thing he knew, Zhong Yue was falling down with his back down.

  Is it over?

  Gui Youmin’s gloomy mood cleared a little, but that was when he felt a chill aiming straight at him, he turned around quickly, but it was already too late, Zhong Yue emerged behind him and landed a palm on his chest.

  Gui Youmin’s body burst apart right away, dispersing into endless streams of ghostly Qi and wraiths wailing could be heard, piercing ears and extremely eerie.

  The slowly vanishing ghostly Qi halted suddenly before they quickly flowed backward, the endless Daos merged together and Gui Youmin appeared. With the same way again, Gui Youmin started vanishing and reappearing quickly as he tried to get closer to Zhong Yue!

  This time, however, when he was about to reach Zhong Yue, he horridly saw Zhong Yue disappearing.

  Knowing things were bad, Gui Youmin tried to move away but Zhong Yue had already landed a hit on him.

  Gui Youmin burst apart again, wraiths wailing sounded again and he shouted, “King Yi, you can’t kill me!”

  Just as he shouted, five more figures appeared in the Great Six Paths Reincarnations, those were the five gods turned from the innate celestial monarch’s skull and the other weapons.

  The lady in male attire turned back into the skull and Zhong Yue lifted it up and slammed it downwards with its mouth facing the ghostly Qi, sucking them into the bowl!

  He then grabbed towards Jin Hexi’s second Yuan Shen and the Yuan Shen turned back into the phoenix feather. With the feather in his hands, Zhong Yue brushed it around the bowl, burned the ghostly Qi with the heavenly fire and rotten stench started coming out from the bowl.

  “Innate Celestial Monarch’s Dao skull? Heavenly Fire Barren Region’s Feng Tian Origin Lord’s feather?”

  Gui Youmin charged around in the bowl, attempting to get out and he burst out laughing, “Even these two weapons could not kill me! Stop wasting time! I am the king of Guishen Clan, the ruler of wraiths in the world and our race controls all Hell’s Reincarnations! In hell, every soul worships me, do you have any idea how powerful this the power coming from them is? You may be able to defeat me, but you can’t kill me!”

  His words were ignored entirely as Zhong Yue laid his palm onto the bowl, leaving a Six Paths light wheel that was marked onto the bowl while the second Yuan Shen of the others walked forward, surrounding the bowl and trying to melt Gui Youmin down.

  The phoenix feather also waved for a second, turning back into Jin Hexi’s second Yuan Shen. The four of them tried to kill Gui Youmin.

  As for Gui Youmin, he continuously charged around, but no matter what he did, he couldn’t get out from the light wheel. A horrendous power coming from the bone bowl burst him apart and tried to melt him down.

  Strangely, Gui Youmin would come back to life again and again, returning to his peak form every time.

  “You can’t possibly be immortal!”

  The four of them continued channeling power into the bowl, crushing Gui Youmin into pieces. Zhong Yue even joined in, drawing power from the Great Six Paths Reincarnation, but Gui Youmin just wouldn’t die!

  “Guishen Clan is a celestial race. I will kill him with Dark Rainbow’s innate demonic Qi!”

  Shi Yinji suddenly turned into a black dragon and entered the bowl, this weapon was forged from the Innate Demon Monarch’s tail, innately standing opposite of celestial. The black dragon breathed out demonic Qi that burnt Gui Youmin into ashes, only to have him revived again in the next second.

  Jin Hexi unleashed the might of the feather, breathing heavenly fire into the bone bowl and said, “The fire in Thousand Silk Fire Cloud Fan is no weaker than the chaos fire, it will definitely burn him into ash!”

  Gui Youmin was indeed burned into ash as she said but he revived quickly.

  Hundun Yu launched a sinister laser into the bone bowl with the eye and said, “The [Evil Tome]’s power contained inside of the Emerald Evil Eye will be able to weaken him greatly! The innate evil Qi will rain bad luck on him and he will no longer be able to fight against us!”

  Yin Fanxuan activated the phoenix tongue and turned it into a bridge that crushed Gui Youmin, “Red Jade Bridge will be able to siphon the essence in his blood, cut away his bloodline power and everything in his body!”

  But in the next second, Gui Youmin got up again, seemingly unscathed.

  Hundun Yu frowned before launching another laser that severed Gui Youmin’s head. But as soon as the head touched the ground, another head grew out again in its place.

  They repeated this again and again but Gui Youmin prevailed, not only did he not suffer any injuries, he was even in his pinnacle.

  “This worship power is ridiculously powerful.”

  Zhong Yue panted and he now understood why Gui Youmin managed to live for so long in safety. In the Zi Wei Galaxy and 3,000 Six Paths Worlds, there were endless wraiths and souls in the Hell’s Reincarnation. When they all worshipped him, just how powerful was this power!

  It was strong enough to protect him from dying, not even monarch weapons could kill him!

  No wonder he was so confident that he would be able to escape from monarchs easily; if even monarchs couldn’t kill him, then it would be difficult to imprison him as well.

  Besides, if Zhong Yue hadn’t cultivated the [Fu Min Dao Venerate Heart Sutra Scripture]’s Great Six Paths Reincarnation, Gui Youmin would have been long gone.

  “Xin Huo, do you know of a way to kill him?” asked Zhong Yue.

  Chapter 1063: Defeat Rolled In Like Mountains Crashing |

  Xin Huo replied, “Someone who received massive worship like this is hard to kill unless the Heavenly Monarch strips him off from his duty and cuts him off from the worship.”

  “Heavenly Monarch’s order? Impossible, I am not the Heavenly Monarch now, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian isn’t either, so we can’t kill him at the moment. Ghost Master is indeed Ghost Master, never thought that we wouldn’t be able to kill him even in such a situation.”

  Zhong Yue’s heart thumped suddenly and he took the Drum of Dusk out, Can [Daoless Heavens] kill him then?

  “With the endless soul worshipping me, I am unkillable!”

  Gui Youmin looked towards Zhong Yue and smirked, “No matter what technique you use, what item you have, you can’t kill me! Once you disperse your Hell’s Reincarnation, I will be free. This bone bowl won’t hold me for long!”

  Zhong Yue slammed onto the drum and the others around him backed off quickly except for Yi Wanjun who managed to learn [Daoless Heavens].

  Zhong Yue continued slamming the drum, unleashing [Daoless Heavens] time an
d time again, showing its might!

  He then raised his innate divine saber and swiftly beheaded Gui Youmi and his Yuan Shen. The lifeless body fell onto the ground and his head rolled, the smirk fixed on his face.

  Everyone looked into the bowl, where Gui Youmin’s head and headless body lay at the bottom showing no sign of revival.

  “Boy oh boy, he sure was a tough nut to crack!”

  Hundun Yu breathed out a relieved breath and said, “Even the second Yuan Shen cultivated from Innate Celestial Monarch couldn’t kill him, he is really impressive!”

  Shi Yinji poured the body out of the bowl and Yi Wanjun praised, “He is really terrifying, unkillable and undefeatable, but he still can’t withstand the Drum of Dusk or the deal between Mister Mo and Darling Zhong would be exposed.”

  Yin Fanxuan and Jin Hexi, on the other hand, surrounded the Drum of Dusk and were amazed by its power. Jin Hexi praised, “If we use it in the battle, we will be able to stomp over the enemies like ants! Darling, where did you find such a powerful item?”

  Zhong Yue, however, did not feel good about it. The frown on his face deepened and he refrained from kicking the drum away!

  The unkillable Gui Youmin did not even last for a second before [Daoless Heavens], even the horrendous worshipping power was muted by [Daoless Heavens], allowing Zhong Yue to kill Gui Youmin!

  [Daoless Heavens] was unsolvable in every way!

  Even the body part of Innate Evil Monarch, Innate Demon Monarch, Innate Celestial Monarch, Feng Tian Origin Lord, and Yuan Ya Deity King, these existences who were infinitely close to becoming Dao Gods couldn’t harm Gui Youmin at all. This directly showed just how powerful Gui Youmin’s worshipping power was!

  But he still died like he was nothing against the Drum of Dusk, and this unsettled Zhong Yue greatly.

  The Drum of Dusk he obtained was not the real Drum of Dusk, but just a replica. If even the replica was that powerful, then how powerful was the real one?

  And just how terrifying was the one that created Drum of Dusk?

  The young Lei Zhe even told him that Zhong Yue would run into the one that created the [Daoless Heavens] in the future. Just thinking about this alone caused Zhong Yue to shiver.

  Right until now, he found no way that could counter [Daoless Heavens]; he was entirely clueless!

  The more he learned about the [Daoless Heavens], the more terrifying he found it!

  He took in a deep breath and dispersed the Great Six Paths Reincarnation after Gui Youmin and his men were all killed. Not a single one remained, and on the outside, the army led by Mo Yin became even more steady. The two sides continued the battle and the skies were dyed red by the war.

  Is Mo Yin trying to take us down in one go?

  Zhong Yue slightly frowned and he raised Gui Youmin’s head.

  He shouted, “Gui Youmin is dead!”

  To him, Mo Yin was a friend but also a foe; they may have reached an agreement to remove Gui Youmin from the game, but if Mo Yin found a chance to kill Zhong Yue, the man would not hesitate.

  Zhong Yue’s voice echoed across the battleground, but in the sea of battle cries, shrieks, weapon clashes and the rumbling Dao voices from the monarch weapons, it was unable to reach everyone.

  However, the noise decreased significantly over time as the soldiers stopped fighting and the weapons stop rumbling.

  Countless pairs of eyes looked towards the fortress, where Gui Youmin’s head hung high on the walls. That was the head of commander of the Heaven Court and the Heaven Court’s Left Prime Minister.

  “Mister Mo, retreat at once!”

  Lou Zhengshi rushed towards Mo Yin and nervously urged him, “Let’s not delay anymore, your order, please!”

  He knew how important a commander was to an army, a commander was the pillar of the generals and soldiers. Once the pillar was toppled, the army’s morale would plunge while the enemies would rise. The death of Gui Youmin was definitely disastrous to the Heaven Court, and this could easily lead to the army crumbling.

  Not to mention that apart from being the commander, Gui Youmin was also the strategist for the Heavenly Monarch. The Heaven Court’s Left Prime Minister was showered with honor and glory!

  Most importantly, if the commander was killed, orders would not be given out, and without proper orders, the efficacy of the army as a unit would be severely compromised. If a defeat happened at such a time, they would definitely be swallowed by the enemy!

  “Mister Mo! Your order!” shouted the other generals at once.

  Mo Yin shouted furiously, “Left Prime Minister! You are really foolish! You’ve foiled the greatest opportunity we had to take over the fortress! The Heavenly Suppression Fortress’ luck is at its lowest point right now but your death returned their luck back to them!”

  Lou Zhengshi and the others assisted their soldiers in retreating, blocking off the fortress’ pursuers. Corpses and blood splattered everywhere in the frenzy.

  “Bring out Old Man Xuan and Qi’s weapons!”

  With an order, the weapons forged by Old Man Xuan and Qi were distributed to the generals while Zhong Yue sat in the command center as his men slaughtered the enemy generals with the weapons.

  Mo Yin quickly reorganized the soldiers, took over control and used the monarch weapons to strike down the approaching enemies yielding Old Man Xuan and Qi’s weapons. However, in the chaotic situation, they were hard to locate; more than 30 Deity Emperors and Creators had lost their lives in this battle on Zhong Yue’s side. But there were more than 600 of them who died on Mo Yin’s side!

  Lou Zhengshi, Pan Ji and the others were also ambushed by Yin Bokang, Long Zhi and the rest, almost losing their lives, but they managed to escape after giving everything they had.

  “No… no!”

  Mo Yin’s face turned pale upon the inevitable defeat, his army retreated as quickly as they could, but Zhong Yue’s army was chasing right behind them closely, not even giving them a chance to catch their breath!

  Throughout the retreat, Heaven Court’s army was crippled heavily, they lost more than 40 percent of their men but the Heavenly Suppression Fortress showed no sign of stopping.

  “Tian Hou Royal Race is at the front!”

  Lou Zhengshi’s spirit suddenly raised after he looked far away, “Tian Hou Royal Race’s strength is only a little weaker than an imperial race and they also had one of the greater celestial races in the Heaven Court. Lord Tian’s daughter is married to His Majesty and the Tian Hou Royal Race’ have more than 20 celestial races under them. They are powerful and rich with resources right now. Lord Tian himself is also a peak Imperial Emperor, with his help, we will be able to hold the fortress’ attack regroup in their territory!”

  Mo Yin, however, held a different opinion, “I’m afraid Lord Tian won’t be able to stop Heavenly Suppression Fortress’s army either.”

  He was a little frustrated right now, King Yi did not keep his word! Our deal was if he killed Gui Youmin for me, I will return the fortress’ fate to him. But when Gui Youmin died, he took the chance to gain the upper hand against us! But come to think of it, I can’t blame him because I was planning to take the fortress down in one shot as well….

  The two of them had been exchanging messages secretly and he used the altar to communicate with Zhong Yue; when he held the ritual, he would use the totem patterns to create words that would definitely be noticed by Zhong Yue. On the first day, the word he wrote was “Kill” and in the next few days, he would complete his sentence without anyone knowing, forming the sentence “Kill Gui Youmin together.”

  He knew Zhong Yue would be paying close attention to his movements, hence, he used the altar to pass the message and just as he expected, Zhong Yue transmitted messages back to him through Old Man Xuan and Qi’s [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation], accepted his deal and started planning to kill Gui Youmin. And just as Zhong Yue thought, Mo Yin was planning to take down the fortress when Gui Youmin died but he did not expect Gui Youmin to be killed in such a sh
ort time, killing him before Mo Yin could get even close to the fortress.

  This defeat had also weakened the Heaven Court’s fate as well and it was definitely impossible to find a way to raise their fate in the midst of chaos, allowing the fortress’ soldiers to plunge on them like hungry tigers.

  Lou Zhengshi frowned, “Mister, if we insisted on running, we would not only lose our resources and also drop our morale deeply. If this keeps up, we will all be gone in a matter of time!’

  Mo Yin clenched his fist and said, “Ok, to the Tian Hou Royal Race’!”

  At the Tian Hou Royal Race, Lord Tian waited at the main gate with his men. He welcomed the Heaven Court’s army into the sacred ground. Tian Hou Royal Race clan members were all six eared and eight-armed celestial apes, they were all extremely muscular. While they did not give birth to a monarch, the Tian Hou Royal Race was extremely thirsty for battle and strength.

  Lord Tian, who was the Heavenly Monarch’s father-in-law laughed, “Mister Mo, Senior Martial Brother Lou, worry not and take some rest in my land while you enjoy the view of my children fighting!”

  Suddenly, smithing sounds could be heard and Mo Yin’s expression changed, “They’re here!”

  Lord Tian smiled, “Wait for us, my men and I will fend them off and return shortly!”

  “You mustn’t!”

  Mo Yin, Lou Zhengshi and the others halted him, “Many talented ones with strange abilities serve under King Yi! You just have to defend us while we catch our breath. After that, we will launch an all-out attack!”

  Lord Tian hesitated and said, “Fine, I will go take a look at King Yi’s army then.”

  He got onto the walls and after some time and to Mo Yin and the rest’s surprise, the smithing sound stopped and they knew things were bad right away.

  The Imperial Emperors and Mo Yin quickly charged out and they saw the endless army from the fortress, covering the entire horizon and they were all well prepared.

  In the center, Imperial Emperor Fu Li, who was larger than a planet, bared his top, exposing his muscles as he drew a steel arrow on a steel bow!
