Rise of Humanity

  However, this time here in the Quasi Star Region, his goal wasn’t to just derive a sword art from it, but to attain an innate Dao out of it.

  The Innate Lake Dao.

  In the universe, there is Lei Zhe and the Quasi Star Region. Lei Zhe contained the Innate Lightning Dao while the Quasi Star Region had the bright sword lights. However, these two places both have the Innate Lake Dao. But why didn’t I encounter any experts that cultivated this kind of Dao?

  Zhong Yue walked around the region, reaching his senses out to the Daos in the heaven and earth to find the Innate Lake Dao. In his opinion, other than the base elements of celestial and demon, there should also be the four symbols and eight trigrams before the universe could be completed.

  Daos were, in fact, explanations of the universe’s existence. Any Dao, every Dao, they were all actually explaining the existence and phenomena happening in the universe. The innate Daos were also no exception to it. However, the only difference was that some Daos were used to explain the phenomenons and some explained the very foundation of the universe’s existence.

  What Zhong Yue had to do now was find a base Dao from the Quasi Star Region!

  As it was now, the Quasi Star Region was occupied by the Getian Clan. Millions of Getian clansmen had migrated here from the Imperial Star. They modified the stars and planets into habitable continents for their survival.

  Among them, there were strong and powerful experts, including two Imperial Emperors. However, Zhong Yue’s arrival in the Quasi Star Region remained unknown to them as he was an expert in the Space Dao. His movements were so obscure that even the Imperial Emperors couldn’t detect him easily if he didn’t want to expose himself.

  Chapter 1110: Innate Lake |

  He saw Creators capturing the sword flash emanated by Quasi Star, attempting to forge them into precious items.

  This place might be dangerous and harsh but it’s because of this that there are treasures abound. This was also the place Feng Xiaozhong obtained saint herb tea tree.

  For days Zhong Yue walked and he soon found the harshest place in Quasi Star. He sat with his legs crossed and his Three Eyes Heavenly Pupil opened, searching for the core within the deepest part of Quasi Star.

  His psyche continued seeping into the ground, his eyes searched for the changes in the Quasi Star. Over the next months, his mastery had increased by folds but was still a distance away from achieving the Innate Lake Dao.

  His guess was right, in this universe, there was a special Lake Dao, and beneath its terrifying death force was contained tremendous life essence and unpredictable changes.

  The deeper his psyche seeped into the Quasi Star Region, the clearer his vision became and the more amazed he was. Deep in the Quasi Star, there were natural Dao patterns that constantly morphed into innate Dao patterns and innate Dao totem patterns!

  Could it be that the Innate Lake Dao in Quasi Star is constantly evolving?

  Zhong Yue was shocked upon coming to this realization, a place where innate Daos gathered was an innate sacred ground!

  Hence, if the Quasi Star’s deepest part was creating its own Innate Lake Dao, then was the Quasi Star slowly evolving into an innate sacred ground?

  This was definitely a great discovery!

  Zi Wei was a land created by Great Si Ming and the ancient Deity Kings under his lead during the Dark Age’s era. It was a land full of treasures but lacked an innate sacred ground birthed by heaven and earth, thus, almost all the innate gods birthed by the heaven and earth came only from the ancient universe while Zi Wei only birthed innate gods from prayers.

  And now, this Quasi Star was slowly turning into an innate sacred ground!

  Of course, this evolution was slow and it may take over billions of years, but this was great news to Zhong Yue. Perhaps, the Quasi Star had already birthed the perfect Innate Lake Dao!

  With a roar, Zhong Yue revealed his true form, the Fuxi True Form and used the innate draconic scales to decipher the many Dao patterns.

  “[Innate Eight Trigrams]!”

  Diagrams danced around him, calculating the wonders in the Dao patterns while psyche and vision continued diving deep into the Quasi Star, exploring towards the depths.

  Suddenly, Zhong Yue caught a glimpse of something. His heart beat rapidly for he discovered the forming of an innate Dao, like a lava stream amongst the quasi stars.

  There is really Innate Lake Dao!

  Zhong Yue was happy at this discovery and he wanted to get closer to observe, except that the quasi stars were incredibly terrifying, like boiling porridge in the pot, there were no patterns, no traces and the danger could be imagined easily just through this!

  “Innate divine saber!”

  Zhong Yue leaped into the air, his hands pressed down towards quasi stars.

  Hong long—-

  His 12 innate Daos flew out, intertwined together and turned into a divine saber, whenever it passed, everything split!

  The enormous quasi star sword rays in quasi stars were split apart, and like a Jiao Dragon, Zhong Yue dove right toward the quasi stars, getting close towards the Innate Lake Dao.

  The pressure around him intensified every inch he dived deeper, the energy around turned chaotic and there were even quasi star sword rays that began splitting his saber light!

  “Space Secret Realm, Seven Paths Reincarnation!”

  The seven light wheels behind his head blossomed. With the seven light wheels spread out, whenever quasi star sword rays got close, they would be shifted away by Zhong Yue’s Space Secret Realm, their projection altered and slashed towards the other rays.

  In the deepest part, the pressure became even more terrifying, forcing Zhong Yue into borrowing the Fire Order Era’s fire spirits’ power to boost his strength!

  With the fire spirits’ power, his cultivation level now arrived at the Imperial Emperor level, saber flashed across the surrounding and with unstoppable force, he progressed deeper down.

  Finally, Zhong Yue arrived at the core of the quasi stars, quasi stars compressed under the terrifying pressure. But with their size compressed, their strengths were condensed, making them much stronger than the stars outside.

  Even with the fire spirits’ power, Zhong Yue found himself struggling to withstand the pressure and slowly, quasi star sword rays pierced through the Seven Paths Reincarnation, leaving scars on him.

  Eventually, Zhong Yue found himself stopped entirely and any step further would put him in grave danger!

  But if he stopped here, he would never be able to lay his hands on the Innate Lake Dao!

  Screw it!

  Zhong Yue bit his lips, unleashing his monarch level mentality. His mentality was on the monarch level, it was very rare but at the same time, dangerous. His current level, which was the Deity Overlord level would not be strong enough to withstand the assimilation of Daos!

  Just when he used his monarch mentality to perform the [Innate Eight Trigrams], the chaotic Dao patterns in the quasi stars boiled, surging from every direction and gushing into his body!

  At the same time, the heaven and earth born Innate Lake Dao began flowing away and shown signs of moving towards Zhong Yue!

  In the next second, Zhong Yue fell into a dangerous situation never before; the quasi star’s quasi star sword rays contained the Dao of swords with endless power and they were all attracted by Zhong Yue’s monarch mentality, stabbing towards them as they flew at high speed!

  “Shao Hao Bell!”

  Zhong Yue let out a roar, the 12 innate Daos turned into Shao Hao Bell, shielding him inside and blocking off all the quasi star sword rays!

  Dang dang dang—-

  The bell rang and trembled before the impact. It shook heavily before the sword rays as holes started appearing on it!

  Right now, he was on the monarch level, casting 12 innate Daos to create the Shao Hao Bell, his defense was so strong that even if it was not as strong as the true Shao Hao Bell, he was already far stronger than most Imperial Emperors�
�� defense!

  However, under the quasi stars’ quasi sword rays, even such defensive power was futile!

  He then unleashed all of his trump cards to hold off the Quasi Star, but in the next second, the Shao Hao Bell shattered, just like that.

  Zhe—

  Countless holes appeared on Zhong Yue’s body as the sword rays pierced through mercilessly.

  Dao Assimilation was to aid the monarchs to achieve the Dao, but without the appropriate level of strength, the person would be pierced by endless swords!

  Zhong Yue groaned in pain, with his palm and fist, he cast Tian Yin’s skill, and after a loud explosion, the endless quasi star sword rays surged towards his palms!

  Pa—-

  Under the immeasurable pressure and impact from the sword rays, Zhong Yue’s hands burst apart, flesh splattered around as his hands were completely obliterated!

  He used Heavenly Daos’ skill to guide quasi stars’ Daos of swords, but the impact was far beyond his limit. One should know that he was under the influence of the fire spirits’ power, which boosted him into the imperial Emperor level. To think that even with such power, he was unable to defend himself from the sword rays!

  If he was on his own, Zhong Yue would’ve been disintegrated from inside by a single sword ray!

  Daos rumbled, another torrent of sword rays flew towards him, and Zhong Yue raised his newly regenerated hands to cast Tian Yin’s skill. But at the same time, that Innate Lake Dao also flew towards him under his gravity.

  Hong——

  Zhong Yue’s body flinched as the Innate Lake Dao finally merged with his own Daos, Innate Lake Dao’s wonders surged into him, the wonders unexplainable and he was exposed to the mysterious yet alluring changes of universe.

  Those were something he had never seen before, entirely different from the innate Daos he knew, the Innate Lake Dao contained both life and death. The darkest situation would breed life as destruction descends on the heavens. It was just like the ocean, capable of breeding lives but also quick to claim lives.

  With this Dao, one could start to derive the evolution of a new universe!

  Zhong Yue’s expression was distorted, his body and Yuan Shen started converting into Dao but the opportunity was not one to be missed so he forced himself to endure it. Only by overcoming this would he be able to fully peek into the wonders in Innate Lake Dao.

  The endless quasi star sword rays did not stop however, they continued surging towards him, speeding up the conversion and applying pressure to him. On one hand, he had to resist the conversion, on the other hand, he had to resist the sword rays and also focus on understanding Innate Lake Dao, he was entirely occupied by three things and that made it even harder for him.

  Under such circumstances, even the Nine Lives Black Wok Mushroom was incapable of helping him, Dao Assimilation was a slow death and the mushroom could not substitute him.

  Life and death, death could become life but life would also turn into death. In Quasi Star Region, he used his life to understand this Dao, succeed and he shall understand Innate Lake Dao, failure to do so and he would die.

  If he managed to understand the Innate Lake Dao, he would turn death into life, allowing himself to escape smoothly, even progressing into the Deity Emperor level and past the cataclysmic tribulation.

  But if he failed, what would be waiting for him was obvious!

  Time and time again, Zhong Yue cast Tian Yin’s skill, halted quasi star sword rays’ Daos of sword and slowing his Dao Assimilation. But his body and Yuan Shen inevitably got weakened.

  With one side’s power increasing and the other side’s decreasing, the weakening process would only speed up, and it would become even more difficult to resist Dao Assimilation!

  Suddenly, a light stream split the skies apart, descending into the star region and turning into a demonic man.

  I can sense it, King Yi is right here! His cataclysmic tribulation is creating his tribulation, the air is condensing every second and it’s calling me here to send him off!

  This man was Demon Monarch’s disciple, Mo Yuanlie, he murmured, “His speed is fast, if he continues to run, I will not be able to catch up to him but it seems like he has stopped, just right here.”

  Mo Yuanlie did not bother hiding his presence, his intimidating demon air spread around, shrouding the entire Quasi Star, demonic Qi scattered everywhere and searched for Zhong Yue’s whereabouts without any restrictions.

  “Which senior martial brother is in our Getian Clan’s territory?”

  In Quasi Star, two Imperial Emperors who caught this demonic presence were shocked and they immediately asked.

  “Ah, the Getian Clan.”

  Mo Yuanlie smiled, “Do you recognize innate Demon Monarch’s disciple?”

  The two Imperial Emperors’ expressions changed right away, the Getian Clan was a celestial race but Mo Yuanlie was a demon race from the ancient universe. In the ancient universe, the demon and celestial race never got along and the demon race followed only a common principle, which was that they would never stand on the same side with the celestial race!

  And now, it would not end smoothly when the celestial race, Getian Clan ran into Mo Yuanlie!

  “Hoho, senior martial brothers, I am no utter evil.”

  Mo Yuanlie’s robe waved along the whistling wind, “I am here for King Yi, not you. If you can help me locate King Yi, I will spare you!”

  Chapter 1111: No One Alive |

  “King Yi is in our Quasi Star Region?”

  The two Imperial Emperors exchanged a look and both saw the same shock in each other’s eyes. Mo Yuanlie was disappointed as he said, “You two didn’t know where he is in the Quasi Star Region? Seems like there’s no use for the two of you anymore…”

  Beads of cold sweat immediately rolled down the Imperial Emperors’ foreheads, they quickly said, “Senior martial brother, please wait. We will dispatch our disciples to scout the area, we will find him!”

  Mo Yuanlie didn’t reply. He cast out the Million Demons Banner and entered the Quasi Star Region, roaming in it while the two Imperial Emperors gave the order.

  Instantly, the Getian gods scattered around to search for Zhong Yue’s hideout. On the other hand, the Imperial Emperors had also ordered the clansmen to worship the monarch spirit just in case the situation went south.

  Soon after, the gods returned to report, “No signs of infiltrations from anyone.”

  Then, the gods that went to worship the monarch spirit also reported back quietly, “Imperial Emperors, the monarch spirit and the other ancestors’ spirits are summoned by our clansmen in the Imperial Star for the war. Our worships are unanswered.”

  The Imperial Emperors’ hearts sank, they conducted their voice and said, “Gather our people now and leave this place. Travel as far as you can, but make sure you do it quietly, no noises, no clamors.”

  “Imperial Emperors…”

  “This place is no longer safe, our only hope is to save as much as we can!”

  The Imperial Emperors put on a smile beside Mo Yuanlie, the latter glanced at them and suddenly smiled, “Why so serious? I’m not a fiendish butcher. I am just not a fan of the celestials. Know that I don’t usually kill just for the fun of it, but the celestials in my eyes…”

  All of a sudden, a deep rumble came from the deepest part of the Quasi Star Region. The quasi stars were orbiting rapidly and turned into a huge swirl. Then, countless quasi star sword rays burst out and coalesced into a huge sword ray that broke through the firmament!

  “Is this some kind of treasure?”

  The two Getian Imperial Emperors were shocked and overjoyed. They were happy there was a treasure here, and by the looks of it, it was incredibly strong and powerful, no weaker than ordinary monarch weapons!

  Shocked was because Mo Yuanlie was beside them, how would he possibly let them have the treasure?

  Rays flashed in Mo Yuanlie’s eyes, he too was shocked by the quasi star sword rays’ powerful powers. Such wa
s the magnificent power of nature, a direct demonstration of its stupendous strength by heaven’s and earth’s Daos!

  “Such power… even if I can’t find King Yi, this treasure alone will still make this trip worth the efforts. If that’s the case, then…” He suddenly smiled, “There is no more need for the Getian Clan anymore.”

  The two Imperial Emperors’ scalps tingled. Just before they were going to kill Mo Yuanlie, the Million Demons Banner fluttered in the air and dragged the Imperial Emperors’ atman out of their bodies!

  Their Yuan Shens were shattered and split apart into spirits and souls!

  Not only them, but all of the Getian gods’ Yuan Shens in the Quasi Star Region were also split apart into spirits and souls by the Million Demons Banner!

  Their mortal bodies were unscathed but their souls were already dragged into the Million Demons Banner, leaving only their spirits inside of the bodies. They were now like a bunch of walking zombies!

  At the same time, there was an expedition of gods and hundreds of thousands of clansmen were exiting the Quasi Star Region on a warship. Suddenly, the Getian gods turned around to look together with their mouths agape. At the center of the Quasi Star Region, a banner grew incredibly huge in size and was fluttering heavily.

  As the banner swayed, they could feel their Yuan Shen flying out of their bodies, as if a massive black hole were trying to suck them into it!

  “Leave, now!”

  A Getian Deity Emperor spent all of his energy and pushed on the warship. Immediately, the warship bolted outward at great speed.

  Then, he could hear his Yuan Shen getting torn apart and his soul leaving toward the Million Demons Banner.

  From afar, his soul was watching the warship, the hope of the Getian Clan, sailing into the darkness.

  “At least they can live…”

  A smile radiated across his soul’s face, but all of a sudden, a flash of demon ray pierced through the warship. The warship splintered away and the Getian clansmen cried in fear and pain. Their mortal bodies and Yuan Shens disintegrating in the midst of the demon rays. Only a few gods managed to make it out alive and the others all died from that strike!
