Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  A second Heavens!

  His hand grew bigger, covering half of the skies. At the tip of his were fingers gathered countless stars like sands, moving along as his hand waves!

  It was obvious that his palm strike would be a powerful one!

  Such was the true prowess of a peak Imperial Emperor!

  Mo Yuanlie had the same prowess not any weaker than Shen Xiage, but his death was a tragedy due to the half-innate sacred ground, Quasi Star Region’s power stronger than him. Wielding the Quasi Star Region’s power, Zhong Yue was able to even break through the Million Demons Banner forged by his teacher Innate Demon Monarch.”

  He didn’t have any chance to showcase his prowess before Zhong Yue inflicted him with severe injuries, eventually leading to his death in the hands of the few Getian gods.

  However, Shen Xiage didn’t have the same bad luck as Mo Yuanlie. He was able to fully unleash his true prowess and even just the power of his Heavens was enough to kill Zhong Yue!

  Krong—

  The thousand-winged ancient ship rammed out of the dimensions again and exited the second Heavens. But he didn’t escape from Shen Xiage’s control as he found himself entering another Heavens.

  There were three Heavens!

  “How many Heavens can you cultivate?” Zhong Yue roared and continued ramming forward without a stop. However, after one Heavens there would always be another one more. His thousand-winged ancient ship never escaped from Shen Xiage’s Heavens.

  “Are you still trying to escape from my Six Paths Reincarnation?” Shen Xiage didn’t attack, instead, he opened up his palm and the six rivers flew toward his hand while shrinking.

  It was a picturesque scene, having billions of stars in one’s hand. However, it wasn’t a difficult move for a strong expert like him to do. After all, the Heavens were part of his cultivation, they were his Daos.

  On the other hand, it was incredibly precarious for Zhong Yue to fall into his hand as that would mean Zhong Yue’s very existence would be at his mercy!

  Although the thousand-winged ancient ship was incredible, able to pass through dimensions, it could not leave Shen Xiage’s six Heavens. It wasn’t because it could not break out from the Heavens, but because Zhong Yue’s limited ability to unleash the ship’s true power!

  Furthermore, Shen Xiage’s six Heavens had formed the Six Paths Reincarnation, trapping Zhong Yue inside of it!

  Even though he wasn’t a monarch, Shen Xiage’s prowess was not far from it either. Naturally, it was difficult to get out once trapped in his Six Paths Reincarnation.

  The six Heavens shrunk smaller and turned into six revolving light wheels in his hand. The thousand-winged ancient ship could be vaguely seen at the middle of the light wheels, shuddering as it rammed through from one light wheel to another but never actually leaving from them.

  Shen Xiage kept the six light wheels and smiled, “King Yi, I’m not wrong, am I? Mo Yuanlie is just a brainless butcher. He is no match for you, but I’m not him, I’m a hundred times better than him! The demons are, after all, demons, they are nothing compared to our great celestials!”

  He strode away while saying placidly, “Don’t you worry, my teacher is the great Innate Celestial Monarch. As his disciple, I have also inherited his justness, I will not torture or do anything to you. My teacher only ordered me to bring you back. So, I just need you to follow me back to the Celestial Monarch Palace.”

  He didn’t go for the Zi Wei Galaxy but headed toward the teleportation portal for the ancient universe. On his way back, Shen Xiage saw war happening everywhere and the people were suffering from it. He smiled, “Zi Wei Galaxy’s chaos is good news to those of us in the ancient universe. It’s the right opportunity for us to claim Zi Wei for ourselves!”

  He continued his journey for a long time before arriving at the teleportation portal. There, the divine guards were still patrolling the area. Just when Shen Xiage was headed to the portal, his scalp suddenly tingled. Then, he immediately turned and fled a far distance away.

  Shen Xiage’s face stiffened up, he didn’t say anything and took a different path. After a long time, the teleportation portal reappeared in front of him again.

  Shen Xiage gave a cold sneer, he didn’t change a direction again but instead, cast out the golden rope into a golden dragon and rammed directly at the blank space in front of him!

  The dimensions rippled violently like waving waters for moments and slowly return back to normal.

  “Evil Monarch’s Evil Eye Divine Mirror!”

  Shen Xiage’s cold sweat rolled down his forehead, his voice was hoarse as he shouted, “Senior Martial Brother Xie Yang, when did I fall into your divine mirror? Why didn’t I pick up anything at all?”

  An eerie burst of laughter came from the skies, it was Evil Monarch Palace’s Xie Yang’s voice, he said, “If you noticed it, is the Evil Eye Divine Mirror still the Evil Eye Divine Mirror? Xiage, why don’t you follow me to the Evil Monarch Palace?”

  Shen Xiage gave a loud roar, the golden rope turned into a golden dragon and ravaged the surroundings as he tried to break out from the Evil Eye Divine Mirror. However, the golden rope and divine mirror were equal in strength, one forged by Celestial Monarch and the other by Evil Monarch, none of them was able to defeat the other.

  The crux of the battle depended on who was the first one to cast the weapon.

  Xie Yang sneakily trapped Shen Xiage with the Evil Eye Divine Mirror first. He merged the divine mirror with the Zi Wei Galaxy’s dimension, causing Shen Xiage to unknowingly walk into the mirror while still thinking he was traveling through the Zi Wei Galaxy.

  He was only able to realize that it was because the teleportal stage to the ancient universe was reflected due to the mirror’s property. The stage in the mirror was horizontally reversed to the real stage and so were the totem patterns on the stage.

  But he didn’t show it even when he realized it. Instead, he calmly walked in the opposite direction, hoping that he could reach the real teleportal stage instead. But he was already trapped in the mirror now, how was it possible at all for him to walk out now? The next teleportation stage he saw was still the same as the first one. That was when he confirmed he had fallen into Xie Yang’s trap.

  Outside of the mirror, Xie Yang was donned in a robe with huge sleeves. He was laughing happily and kept the Evil Eye Divine Mirror. He swiped his finger across his forehead, opening a narrow slit which he then planted the Evil Eye Divine Mirror into the opening.

  The Evil Eye Divine Mirror was bizarre, it was actually an eerily looking eyeball, forged from one of Innate Evil Monarchs’ eyes. Inside of the eyeball was the faint image of a golden dragon soaring in random pattern. Whereas a little figure who looked like Shen Xiage was sitting in the golden dragon’s mouth.

  “There will always be a stronger expert. Shen Xiage, you are in my trap now, don’t ever think of escaping!”

  Xie Yang laughed loudly and walked toward the teleportal stage. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat to see a ball of burning flames gushing toward him from faraway!

  Behind the ball of heavenly fire was a phoenix lady fanning a fan at him!

  “This little lady Feng Yuhuan!”

  It happened so quickly that Xie Yang’s mind was blank at that moment. The burning heavenly fire burned even the dimensions and crashed heavily onto him, rendering him defenseless against the incoming fan strike that sent him flying backward.

  At the same time, the heavenly fire burned in his mortal body and Yuan Shen secret realms, even the Daos he cultivated were getting burning down!

  Chapter 1118: Unaware of The Oriole Behind |

  Feng Yuhuan raised the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Fire Fan and waved it towards Xie Yang. A fire wave appeared, twisting dimensions with its fiery heat, swallowing Xie Yang entirely.

  In the next moment, the fire turned into a flaming phoenix. The phoenix bit on Xie Yang firmly and split the skies apart as it flew away at high speed.

  Behind Feng Yuhuan, h
er wings spread open wide, and her true form was revealed, it was a nine-headed phoenix!

  With its wings flapping time and time again, Heavenly Phoenix Divine Fire Fan was fanned quickly, infusing great strength into the heavenly fire phoenix that trapped Xie Yang.

  The heavenly fire phoenix’s wings split the air apart, and everywhere it passed, the stars burnt into ash, leaving nothing behind.

  This lady followed behind quickly, and the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Fire Fan swung non stop while heavenly fire phoenix flew right into Heavenly Fire Barren Region.

  About ten days later, Feng Yuhuan was a little exhausted from the constant traveling and attacking, Heavenly Phoenix Divine Fire Fan’s might was powerful but constantly using it was a difficult task.

  Though she was a peak Imperial Emperor, she still found herself unable to use the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Fire Fan for such a long time.

  “The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Besides, I’m more than just an ordinary oriole, but a heavenly fire phoenix. He should be burnt into ash after such a long time.”

  Feng Yuhuan smiled, “Evil Eye Divine Mirror is, after all, Evil Monarch’s item, which I shouldn’t be able to melt. Luckily, Xie Yang had Shen Xiage sucked into the Evil Eye Divine Mirror, as long as Shen Xiage is alive, so is King Yi.”

  But just when she was about to take a quick rest to recover some strength, the surroundings around her twisted and she knew things had gone awry. She looked around quickly, only to find dimensions being twisted eerily, the stars all fell right into a collapsing dimension, right into a black hole!

  The heavenly fire phoenix and her were being pulled right into that black hole!

  Within the hole was eternal darkness, but outside and around the entrance, the lightning was bright like jade.

  This is bad, Zhuo Ya!

  Feng Yuhuan’s mind went blank, but just as she reached her hand towards the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Fire Fan, her energy had yet to enter the fan, her vision was distorted and she was sucked into the strange hole.

  They arrived before a jade bottle that was floating in the air, beside it sat a man in black. Seeing Feng Yuhuan arriving at the jade bottle, the man stood up and shouted, “Whether it be how cunning you all are, you are all now in my Space Bottle!”

  He kept the bottle away and ambitiously laughed, “If I return now, teacher will be more than happy and I will be rewarded generously!”

  Now in the bottle, Feng Yuhuan was all tensed up, she panicked and flew right towards the outside. Though it looked ordinary from the outside and her distance towards the bottle mouth was not far away, when she flapped her wings and flew, she, to her horror, found the bottle mouth moving further and further away from her.

  Seeing this, she decisively channeled all her energy into the fan, fanning towards the bottle mouth. The fire rolled out right towards the bottle neck. The fire’s speed was fast, but the bottle neck was still seemingly moving further away, preventing the fire from getting close.

  “It’s futile!”

  A voice sounded out of nowhere, scarring Feng Yuhuan and she immediately turned around and fanned Heavenly Phoenix Divine Fire Fan towards the back, only to hear the voice saying again, “Senior Martial Sister Yuhuan, be at ease, I mean no harm!”

  Feng Yuhuan turned around and her eyes locked onto a figure.

  Xie Yang!

  He did not die under the fan’s fire and there was a huge eye sitting on his forehead that gave off an uneasy presence.

  So the eye is protecting him! Its strength is no weaker than my Heavenly Phoenix Divine Fire Fan!

  Feng Yuhuan’s heart beat quickly yet on the outside, she giggled, “Senior Martial Brother Xie Yang, what teachings do you have for me? Now that we are all inside this bottle, I suppose you can’t get out as well?”

  “This is Yuan Ya Deity King’s Space Bottle. A bottle that is said to contain an entire universe. Now that we’re in it, we are also in the universe within this bottle. That light at the bottle mouth is the universe’s light. When we are shined upon by the light, the universe starts growing and that is why we can’t get out.”

  Xie Yang smiled, “But if you and I work together, we might have a chance to get out, with our weapon.”

  Feng Yuhuan smirked and replied, “It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I just don’t! A mere Space Bottle can trap you but it won’t be the same for me!”

  With a screech, the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Fire Fan fell into pieces, turning into phoenix feathers and stacking with the wings behind her back!

  Heavenly Phoenix Divine Fire Fan was forged from Feng Tian Origin Lord’s feathers. What kind of existence was Feng Tian Origin Lord? She was crowned as one of the fastest existences. With her feathers merging with Feng Yuhuan’s wings, her speed increased by a few folds, tearing through dimensions as she flew out.

  But after flying for some time, Feng Yuhuan found the bottle mouth still far away from her, not even an inch closer even after flying for so long at such a terrifying speed.

  “I told you so, but you just wouldn’t believe me.”

  From her back came Xie Yang’s voice, and his voice gave Feng Yuhuan the chills. She turned around hurriedly and to her horror, Xie Yang was still standing right beside her; after flying for so long with the buff from Feng Tian Origin Lord’s feathers, it seemed like she didn’t move forward, not even a step!

  “If the Space Bottle is so easy to get out of, Yuan Ya Deity King wouldn’t even be crowned the ancient Deity King that is hardest to be dealt with!”

  Xie Yang smiled, “Senior Martial Sister Yuhuan, are you willing to work with me now?”

  “Fine! But let me tell you this, after we leave the Space Bottle, we will decide who will have King Yi, by our strength!”

  “As you wish.” agreed Xie Yang with a nod.

  The two then started, one waved Heavenly Phoenix Divine Fire Fan, the other activated Evil Eye Divine Mirror, their six wheels opened wide, and their full might was used, pushing the two monarch weapons’ might to the peak before unleashing a destructive blow towards the bottle mouth!

  An evil ray shot out from the Evil Eye Divine Mirror, corroding all dimensions it passed. Even the stars in the bottle melted while Heavenly Phoenix Divine Fire Fan showed its ruthless side, the heavenly fire turned into a sword ray that struck down endless stars!

  With the two monarch weapons’ might combined, destructive energy was formed, yet the Space Bottle remained unphased. While the universe within the bottle was mostly obliterated, the light around the bottle mouth shone brightly still, recovering the destroyed dimension, even the stars reappeared again like nothing happened.

  The duo frowned at this scene and they immediately attacked again and again but to no avail.

  Feng Yuhuan’s eyes scanned around, landed on the Evil Eye Divine Mirror on Xie Yang’s forehead and she said suddenly, “Senior Martial Brother Xie Yang, maybe, we need another person to help us.”

  Xie Yang understood who this other person was right away, which caused him to pause. But Feng Yuhuan continued, “If we can’t get out, we will not be brought to Yuan Ya Deity King, but to Zhuo Ya. When that happens, do you think we are still alive?”

  “I guess this is the only way.” replied a speechless Xie Yang.

  From his eyes, the Evil Eye Divine Mirror slowly crawled out, moved into his hands and with a shout, Shen Xiage was released from Evil Eye Divine Mirror.

  “Xie Yang! How dare you play dirty!”

  Right away, Shen Xiage charged towards Xie Yang with the golden rope, trying to kill him but that was when Feng Yuhuan interrupted and said, “Senior Martial Brother Xiage, please stay calm. You are trapped in Evil Monarch’s Evil Eye Divine Mirror so you still don’t know what happened. We are all now in Yuan Ya Deity King’s Space Bottle, trapped inside here while Zhuo Ya is returning to Yuan Ya Deity King’s nest right now. Once we arrive at that place, we will all be dead!”

  Shen Xiage had a shock right away and he received another sh
ock when he looked around, “Did you all not try to escape through the bottle mouth?”

  “Nothing worked.”

  Feng Yuhuan and Xie Yang shook their head while Xie Yang continued, “The only way out right now is by working together. We will all use our weapons to destroy the dimension in here, perhaps, we might be able to get out this way.”

  After a discussion, the trio acted right away. With the addition of Shen Xiage and the golden rope, the dimensions within the bottle were destroyed, even more of the bottle’s interior shattered and turned into dust.

  But in the next second, when the light reached the ruins, everything returned to normal again!

  This stunned the trio, but they quickly worked themselves up again, attacking towards the air with the three innate monarch weapons, only to found themselves resisting futilely as the light repaired the damages right away.

  “This….”

  The trio was left with an empty mind and Feng Yuhuan coughed, “Senior Martial Brother Xiage, we need a ship, one that can travel fast enough. After that, we will destroy everything in our path while we move towards the bottle mouth on that ship.”

  Xie Yang looked towards Shen Xiage and said, “They say King Yi has the quickest ship!”

  This time, it was Shen Xiage who hesitated and seeing this, Xie Yang urged him, “Do you want to die in Yuan Ya Deity King’s nest? If he captures us, you and I will be denied the chance to be reborn!”

  Feng Yuhuan added, “With that malicious name he made for himself, all he had to do is insist that he never even saw us and there will be no evidence to prove him wrong. King Yi is not strong to us so if you let him out, he wouldn’t even be able to escape us! After escaping from Space Bottle, we will decide who will have King Yi through a fight!”

  Shen Xiage bit his lips and with a flip of his palm, Six Paths Reincarnations emerged while an ancient ship slowly revealed itself before them.

  As for Zhong Yue, when he saw the trio, he had a shock as well. Feng Yuhuan, on the other hand, explained what happened again and smiled, “King Yi, you are trapped in this place with us, once Zhuo Ya returns to Yuan Ya Deity King’s nest, you will not escape death as well so why don’t we work together? We will shatter the dimensions on the way out and you will bring us out with your ancient ship, what do you think?”
