Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  Amidst the chaos, Shen Xiage and the other two whose face turned pale upon suddenly catching a glimpse of the monstrous black and white crows backed off. They turned around and ran away without stopping!

  These crows possessed strength even more terrifying than peak Imperial Emperors like themselves, their presence was beyond imagination and their instincts told them that even with the monarch weapons, they would not even last seconds before these crows. If they persistently remained on the field, death would be the only outcome for them!

  Zhuo Ya and his men gave chase right away and they returned upon realizing they could not catch up. Zhuo Ya thought, Teacher’s incarnations are always in seclusion, so there must be something that caught his attention, or the incarnations wouldn’t even come out. What happened?

  Could it be that he had noticed King Yi’s presence? That’s right, King Yi disappeared into thin air after escaping from the Space Bottle, he might have just went into hiding in our Innate Dao Mountain.

  Realizing what had happened, Zhuo Ya and the others quickly returned to the sacred ground and they froze, their body trembled in anger upon seeing the tragedy before them.

  “What in the world….”

  Lying right before their eyes were the bodies of their comrades. Palaces were in ruins, rivers of blood flowed into a huge hole, forming an ocean of blood.

  The divine fire was still burning bright, billowing black smoke as they incinerated everything they touched.

  They also found Yuan Ya Deity King’s concubine palace reduced into dust along with the dead concubines.

  Though Yuan Ya Deity King married these ladies for the sole purpose of quenching his own thirst, seeing these concubines all slaughtered just like that, Zhuo Ya could already imagine just Yuan Ya Deity King’s fury!

  “Teacher’s concubines…. They’re all dead….”

  Zhuo Ya’s eyes twitched madly and something struck him, causing him to fly towards the other sites. When he looked around, he felt cold.

  It was a massacre!

  From where he stood, he could see the path Zhong Yue walked along his path of destruction, and Zhuo Ya could imagine how Zhong Yue mowed down his people with overwhelming power!

  “The junior martial brothers and sisters….”

  A Creator mumbled in fear, “They’re all dead! How… how did this murderer not trigger the seals and formations? Is there a traitor among us that leaked our sacred ground’s arrangements?”

  The seals and formations within the Innate Dao Mountain were all very powerful, after all, this place was an ancient god’s territory, which made these seals on the same league as the sovereign races.

  But of course, the monarchs produced in the Innate Dao Mountain could never match the sovereign races like Leizhe, Huaxu and Fuxi Celestial Race.

  Yet, when Zhong Yue intruded this place, he triggered absolutely no seals or formations, which was very odd and this was the reason the Creator was suspecting that there was a traitor among them.

  “Must be that ship!”

  Zhuo Ya grinded his teeth in anger, “That ship that cuts through dimensions allowed him to sneak in without triggering the seals and formations! Teacher once said that….”

  His eyes twitched again. there were also many other ancient Deity Kings that participated in the building of the thousand-winged ancient ship and Yuan Ya Deity King was one of them. Hence, the ancient ship also possessed his Daos and arts, which also meant that apart from the ancient ship’s own abilities, the fact that it managed to sneak in without alarming anything was also because of Yuan Ya Deity King himself.

  When Yuan Ya Deity King’s own Daos and arts touched the seals Yuan Ya Deity King created, it was only natural that the ship wouldn’t trigger them.

  “Senior Martial Brother, Junior Martial Brother Zhen Ya is dead!” shouted an Imperial Emperor.

  Zhuo Ya looked towards the direction pointed out by his junior martial brother and horridly found a dead body belonging to the Deity Emperor that achieved the seventh secret realm after learning the Seven Paths Reincarnation, who later on died in the hands of Zhong Yue.

  But soon after he recovered from the shock, happiness climbed up into his eyes as he thought, Teacher has always been very biased. He is always fond of Junior Martial Brother Zhen Ya, helped him achieve the seventh secret realm, even taught Junior Martial Brother Zhen Ya his own understanding in Seven Paths Reincarnation, hoping that he could compete with the strong in this universe. As for me, I served teacher with absolute loyalty for so many years that I lost count but I receive nothing in turn! Good! Junior Martial Brother Zhen Ya, your death is to be celebrated! Now that you are dead, there will be an open slot now and perhaps, it will be my turn to achieve the seventh secret realm!

  “Senior martial brother, our race is gone!”

  Cries sounded from afar and Zhuo Ya quickly approached his people and his body started trembling again. The Heavens that acted as a shelter for the Black and White Crows were all gone, most likely robbed by Zhong Yue!

  But there were still about a thousand of them that escaped the tragic fate met by their people. Upon seeing Zhuo Ya, they all cried, “Everyone died! That Fuxi left no one standing, he killed everyone in the Heavens!”

  “We are alive because we managed to hide the Heavens we hid in away from him, the rest are gone!”

  “The Black Crow Celestial Race has been annihilated by him and the White Crow Celestial Race has only one Heaven remaining! Senior martial brother, you must avenge us!”

  “That Fuxi dog killed everyone! He deserves nothing but death!”

  ….

  Anger consumed Zhuo Ya for he was from the Black Crow Celestial Race, also a descendant of the Yuan Ya Deity King. But now, his race had just gotten wiped out, leaving only a few of them behind!

  “What about my family? What happened to them….” murmured Zhuo Ya.

  The thousand gods remained silent and one of them whispered, “It was already too late, that Fuxi was drunk when he started killing everyone….”

  “King Yi!!!”

  Zhuo Ya previous happiness was now completely doused by his new fury as he started chasing after Zhong Yue!

  At the same time, Zhong Yue flew away on the ancient ship, crazily throwing all his strength into raising the ship’s speed. Behind him were gigantic black crows. Even with its incredible speed, the ancient ship still failed to shake off the black crows.

  And even with the strength borrowed from the fire spirits that pushed him into the Imperial Emperor level, he still couldn’t pull away!

  This time, he had humiliated Yuan Ya Deity King by washing his nest with his people’s blood, if it was an existence on the same level as Yuan Ya Deity King that did this, he would also do everything he could to get revenge, for this directly affect his name, let alone that it was a puny Deity Emperor like Zhong Yue that did this.

  If this is the case, then I will go somewhere you can’t reach!

  Zhong Yue blinked, and the ancient ship flew straight up, splitting the galaxy above Zi Wei apart while the black crows continued to give chase.

  Upon clearing the galaxy and obtaining a clear vision, Zhong Yue’s expression froze on his face and he got a little nervous, This is bad, where is the timeline of the past and chaotic future?

  His motive was to sail the ship into the Dao World he had run into back when he was running away from Tai Feng, Long Zhi, and the others. When the ancient ship sailed into the timeline tunnel, he saw images from the past and future, before flying further up into the skies, transcended Zi Wei and saw the impossible scene before entering the real Heaven Suppressing Saint Palace and awakened Great Si Ming.

  Back then, Zhong Yue even saw saint palaces floating high up above Zi Wei, which looked like the cultivation land belonging to existences infinitely close to becoming Dao God.

  These saint palaces had different altitudes, which also represented how close they were to becoming a Dao God.

  And now, Zhong Yue used the same trick agai
n, trying to utilize the ancient ship’s capability of entering the Dao World. He charged right towards it to shake off the Yuan Ya Deity King’s incarnations, whose strength was not strong enough to catch up.

  Yet, this perfect plan came to a halt right for no matter how high the ship got and how fast it flew, Zhong Yue couldn’t find a way to enter that wonderful timeline tunnel.

  That’s it! The path leading right into the Dao World in Heaven Suppressing Palace is the one opened up by Great Si Ming and the ancient Deity Kings, the palaces floating above Zi Wei must also contain a path created by the ancient existences so that their palaces could float right there. With my own strength, there is no way I could open up the tunnel!

  His clothes soaked wet with his cold sweat, the fact that he couldn’t enter the Dao World meant that he wouldn’t be able to escape from Yuan Ya Deity King’s incarnations, if Yuan Ya Deity King himself arrived, then it would be the end for him!

  What should I do…

  Be it how much energy he channeled into the ship to speed it up, he just couldn’t find a way out, trapped inside the Zi Wei Galaxy like a headless fly.

  And that was when a voice filled with strength sounded, it was the innate god’s language, the obscure Dao language.

  Chapter 1127: Humongous Seal Stamp |

  Dao language sounded in their ears and Yuan Ya Deity King’s incarnations chasing after him behind the ship suddenly started rotting. They aged at a great speed and in just a few seconds, they had decomposed into mere skeletons, falling to the ground in many pieces!

  “Great Si Ming!”

  Zhong Yue was shocked and overjoyed. He quickly looked up and saw a Dao palace hovering high above him. The Daos were flowing down from the hovering Dao palace, shining and glimmering in colorful lights. It was the true Heaven Suppression Palace, the palace where a new universe was attempted.

  After the Dao sounds from the Heaven Suppressing Palace has wiped out Yuan Ya Deity King’s incarnations, a solid and solemn voice said, “Return, I will take care of them! Today now, I am able to take it!”

  Zhong Yue’s worries were eased. He bowed and thanked. Then, he steered the thousand-winged ancient warship and left for the Imperial Star. He turned around to look at the Heaven Suppressing Palace and was startled, and his heart sank abruptly.

  Although the Heaven Suppressing Palace was above Zi Wei, it’s height was not as lofty as the other Dao Palaces hovering above Zi Wei.

  The Dao Palace’s height represented the palace master’s cultivation base. The higher the Dao palace, the closer was the palace master to the level of Dao God.

  But Heaven Suppressing Palace was not the higher, there was another Dao Palace that was higher than it was!

  Great Si Ming has not returned to his peak state, it’s still hard for him to protect himself, can he really shelter me? But it’s Yuan Ya Deity King he is facing now, Yuan Ya Deity King alone shouldn’t be Great Si Ming’s match yet.

  The thousand-winged ancient warship’s wings fluttered as it sailed toward the Imperial Star. The trip was a fruitful one, but at the same time, he has also brought huge trouble to himself. He couldn’t help but be worried about it.

  If I hadn’t drunk the cauldron of medicinal liquid and pellets, I’d still be studying the Innate Mountain Dao in the Innate Dao Mountain now, I might not even have cultivated it either. From this point of view, this may be a good thing…

  Three months passed and the Imperial Star was already in his vicinity. Zhong Yue finally heaved a breath of relief. For the past few weeks, he has been in close contact with the Heaven Breaching Fortress in the Imperial Star. In these 10 years of his absence, the situation between Heaven Breaching Fortress and Heaven Court was still in a stalemate, there weren’t many battles going on.

  On the other hand, the battle in the Imperial Star was much more dreadful and gorier. The monarch and king races warred with one another. The situation erupted by King Zi Guang had totally gotten out of hand, taking even the lives of the monarch spirits.

  Just when Zhong Yue was going to speed up to return to Heaven Breaching Fortress, the blank space in front of him suddenly broke and a golden dragon claw reached out and clenched on the ship’s front. Its long body swirled and wound around the ship, locking it down. The dragon’s head rose from the bottom of the ship to the deck.

  The dragon opened its mouth and Shen Xiage was seen standing on its teeth with a smile, “King Yi, what a coincidence we meet again. Does this all not seemed familiar to you?”

  Zhong Yue looked at Shen Xiage, he smiled and placed his hands on his back, he said calmly, “Senior martial brother, don’t you know? Mo Yuanlie is already dead. But fret not, you will soon join him in death.”

  Shen Xiage was startled, he asked if Zhong Yue was familiar to the state of affairs and Zhong Yue immediately followed up with the exact same words he said the last time he caught him. It was as if history was repeating itself.

  “The last time, I caught you, and Xie Yang ambushed me, then Feng Yuhuan took us, and Zhuo Ya trapped all of us. Then, we worked together to escape Zhuo Ya’s Space Bottle.

  Shen Xiage said softly, “King Yi has raised a huge ruckus in Yuan Ya Deity King’s homeground, chased after by Yuan Ya Deity King’s incarnations and somehow managed to escape. You certainly are amazing. However, this time, there won’t be Xie Yang, Feng Yuhuan, and Zhuo Ya. You will not be given a chance to escape anymore.”

  Zhong Yue laughed, “That’s hard to say. Senior Martial Brother Xie Yang, Senior Martial Sister Yuhuan, why don’t you show yourselves if you are both already here?”

  Shen Xiage’s heart stiffened up, he glanced around and look, then smiled, “They don’t have a tracking skill as strong as mine, nor the intelligence on par with me. Only I can track and find you…”

  “Xiage, don’t act so boastful just yet.”

  Eerie laughter sounded in their ears as a curved slit opened in the blank space. The space rift slowly opened to the sides and revealed an evil eye that looked like a blue sun. Xie Yang was sitting in the evil eye’s pupil, he was laughing as he said, “It’s true that my tracking skill is not as good as yours, I couldn’t track King Yi nor derive the course he took. But it’s not hard to track you.”

  Shen Xiage’s pupils shrunk, then he laughed, “Senior Martial Sister Yuhuan, as Innate Evil Monarch’s disciple, Xie Yang has shown himself, so are you still going to hide? Aren’t you afraid of bringing shame to your Heavenly Fire Barren Region’s name?”

  Somewhere far away from them, a sun suddenly revolved rapidly. Phoenix feathers swirled out of the sun and suddenly, the sun exploded, revealing a nine-headed heavenly phoenix that was hidden within. The heavenly phoenix fluttered its wings and flew toward them, concomitant with the burning heat that breezed onto their faces.

  When the heavenly flames arrived at the scene, they suddenly disappeared and a plump lady was seen standing beside them. Her phoenix tail was softly swaying on her back while emitting sparks of fire like fireflies.

  Feng Yuhuan was chortling coquettishly, “I wasn’t tracking Senior Martial Brother Xie Yang or Senior Martial Brother Xiage, I was tracking King Yi’s ancient ship. Senior martial brothers, it seems like we’ve come to a stalemate again. There is only one King Yi, but there are three of us. Looks like a battle for King Yi’s destiny is still required, isn’t it?”

  Xie Yang walked out of the evil eye and the evil eye rose high up like a mirror behind him. He said, “Since Zhuo Ya is not here, then it’s just only three of us. Whoever wins will get to decide King Yi’s destiny!”

  Rays flashed in Shen Xiage’s eyes but he quickly hid his plans to himself, he said, “Fine, a fair deal it is. We three are all from ancient backgrounds and our factions have always been on good terms. A skirmish should best be avoided.”

  While the three agreed to the deal, a hoarse voice suddenly interrupted them, it said coldly, “No matter what your plans are, I want King Yi dead right here, right now!”

  The three of their hear
ts skipped a beat and they thought, Zhuo Ya was here!

  Zhong Yue looked over and saw Zhuo Ya’s frigid face filled with killing intent behind the ancient warship.

  Zhuo Ya looked at him and the killing intent flared up, he shouted, “King Yi, you’ve killed my wife and children, annihilated my race, and slaughtered my people. I don’t care who is protecting you, I want you dead!”

  Zhong Yue laughed happily, “The crowd is gathered again. Gentlemen, Yi is here, who will come to claim my head?”

  The four of them were vigilant against one another. Zhuo Ya clenched his teeth and just when he cast out the Space Bottle, Feng Yuhuan cast out the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Fire Fan, and Xie Yang cast the Evil Eye Divine Mirror. The battle was on the brink of erupting.

  Zhong Yue laughed again, he reminded them, “Looks like you’ve all forgotten the vows you’ve made to my skill. I dare you to touch me!”

  Shen Xiage’s eyes were brimming with rays, he was the closest to Zhong Yue. Furthermore, the golden dragon formed by the golden rope was winding on Zhong Yue’s ancient ship. Now it was the best time for him to act!

  Without hesitation, he took action, keeping in mind the vow Zhong Yue mentioned. He didn’t go all out but retained part of his strength just in case anything happened.

  At the same time, Zhuo Ya, Feng Yuhuan, and Xie Yang also launched their attacks at Zhong Yue. Feng Yuhuan and Xie Yang were doing it due to their teacher’s order, but Zhuo Ya’s intention was to avenge the death of his family!

  Thus, Feng Yuhuan and Xie Yang didn’t go all out as they didn’t want to kill Zhong Yue; half of their strength was used to stop Shen Xiage and the other half was used to capture Zhong Yue. Whereas Zhuo Ya was headed for Zhong Yue’s death, even when that meant he was going against Yuan Ya Deity King’s order!

  Zhong Yue stood on the deck unflinchingly, and had no intention to resist. Shen Xiage, who was the closest, was the first to have his attack land on Zhong Yue. But seeing Zhong Yue not resisting, he didn’t dare to use too much power in fear of killing Zhong Yue and only wanted to severely injure Zhong Yue so he could bring him away.
