Rise of Humanity

“Not good, he found us!”

The Pagoda Master’s heart thumped; everything in front of him twisted around. That mirror was the soul weapon he single-handedly forged, but now, whatever was in the mirror twisted around as if there was a whirlpool that sucked everything into it, including the master of the mirror!

“Six Path Reincarnation skill?”

Six light wheels revolved behind a lord’s head as he shouted right away, “Do not make any eye contact! He is casting a Six Path Reincarnation skill that could harm your Yuan Shen!”

Pagoda Master, however, did not heed his warning and continued staring into the mirror. From the view of others, the mirror was still the same but in the eyes of the Pagoda Master, the mirror had become a huge whirlpool filled with light wheels of Six Path Reincarnation that tried to devour him wholly!

His Yuan Shen then spontaneously flew right towards the mirror and it was at this moment that a few Qi Practitioners that opened the sixth wheel shouted, casting spells that merged into a huge hand that hurled Pagoda Master’s Yuan Shen back into his body.

The mirror shattered and the Pagoda Master immediately recovered from the stun and cold sweat started dripping down from his forehead.

“So this is the power of Blood Bone Evil God! He is indeed very scary! Dear junior martial brothers, shall we start the blood ritual?” shouted Pagoda Master, “There is no point hiding yourselves anymore, we are already exposed! Let us work together and eliminate this evil god!”

The Qi Practitioners let out a battlecry and raw power started surging into the 32 lords, further increasing their strength and pillars of power shot that shattered the skies shot up!

Meanwhile, Zhong Yue, Bai Canghai and Ma Sansou looked towards the palace built on the mountain and they saw the appearance of one massive body after another that were surrounded by totem carvings and light wheels. The voice of worship started ringing in the ears and they felt that there were countless people praying at the same time!

“32 lords had worked together to perform the blood ritual!”

The expression of Ma Sansou and Bai Canghai turned grim in an instant. If it was one foe, they had absolute confidence that Zhong Yue would win, but each time after he successfully got through one territory, he would have to rest for a bit as it was not easy for him, and he would gain new wounds every time.

But now, Zhong Yue would not be a match for the 32 lords!

“Don’t expect to get away that easily!”

The 32 lords descended from the palace on the mountain and they locked onto Zhong Yue and his companions as they crushed towards them!

“Brother Zhong! What do we do?” shouted the trembling Bai Canghai.

Zhong Yue kept quiet but did not fret. As he reached out his hands, he dragged his companions to him and hurled them away. As they lost balance, Bai Canghai and Ma Sansou suddenly knocked onto something and the next thing they saw were light wheels with various totem carvings surrounding them and they knew that they were hurled into Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen secret realms.

Then, Zhong Yue transformed into the golden crow, stretching out his bony wings and flying away.

Ka cha—

The dimension cracked apart and Zhong Yue vanished!

“Do you think it’s that easy!?”

The gigantic Qi Practitioners gave chase, launching terrifying attacks at Zhong Yue and charging straight into the cracked dimension.

At the next second, the skies shattered as a huge hole appeared. A skeleton golden crow flew straight out from it. The golden crow drew its wings back and descended straight to the ground and suddenly, it stretched out its wings again and glided closely to the ground.

At the same time, his pursuers came charging out from the hole.

Some reached out their palms with fingers as large as pillars. Their fingers were full of totem carvings and when looked at from afar, it seemed like there were Jiao Dragons that wound around their fingers.

Some visualized huge towers with strong pulling forces that tried to drag Zhong Yue into the towers.

And some waved their hands, creating a massive bell larger than mountains, and the bell emitted fearful soundwaves that struck towards Zhong Yue!

In an instant, the skies shattered and powerful spells swarmed towards Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue, however, quickly turned into a serpent and vanished into the ground, leaving behind a huge hole as the spells that lost their target slammed exploded fruitlessly on the ground.

“Get out!”

Pagoda Master and the other lords descended from the air, raising their legs and stomping onto the ground, causing it to tremble. Somewhere far away, the ground vibrated vigorously and the resultant shockwaves end up completely destroying the terrain.

Suddenly, the ground from a few thousand metres away burst apart and Zhong Yue could be seen shooting up into the skies from the ground as he turned into the Golden Crow again.

“Fat hopes! Blood Bone Evil God!”

The pursuers chased after him and they continued to close the gaps between them. Their strength were just too powerful; with that kind of power, even a pig could breach through the dimension and travel countless miles away in one step, not to mention these very successful Qi Practitioners.

Again, Zhong Yue shifted forms again; he turned into the three legged and winged celestial being and he shouted, “Brother Bai, carry us!”

Hearing his words, Bai Canghai dashed out from Zhong Yue’s light wheel in lightning speed. As soon as he flew out, he turned into a golden winged Peng and carried them as he flew away in high speed.

Zhong Yue landed on this huge Peng, turned around and realized that everything behind them became extremely horrifying; the original power of the 32 lords were nothing to him but after performing the blood ritual, their power became something that should be afraid of.

And as the gap between them closed, the power emitted from the spells could be felt clearly.

I’ve gotta kill some of them first!

The ghost fire in Zhong Yue’s eyes sparked, a divine ray shined brightly, turned into a banner in the air and this particular banner had a Six Path Reincarnation spinning around.

Zhong Yue held onto this huge banner and swung it vigorously. The Qi Practitioner leading the way felt that his Yuan Shen was forcefully dragged out from his body. The Qi Practitioner immediately pressed down his Yuan Shen and through his powerful strength, he locked his Yuan Shen firmly into his body.

At the same time, Zhong Yue’s banner turned into his saber and he slashed his saber towards his foe.

Chi la—

Blood spilled from the air and the body of the lord was split apart!

Guang guang guang—

A huge bell flew towards Zhong Yue and a lord stood behind the bell. He had nine bird heads and eight arms, and as he kept punching the bell, he created destructive sound waves that struck at Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue’s bones creaked under the immense impact and Bai Canghai, who transformed into the golden winged Peng, let out a shriek before falling down from the sky.

Unlike Zhong Yue, Bai Canghai did not cultivate the Immortal Body, thus, he couldn’t withstand the power of these Qi Practitioners.

Zhong Yue shapeshifted again, turning himself into the three legged and six eyed celestial.

The roar and the sound of the bell collided violently. As they clashed, the bell started to crack and the shocked lord decided to go all in as he shouted, “Impossible! You won’t be able to win against my power!”

Determined and desperate to beat Zhong Yue, the lord channelled all his power into the bell, but it did not take long until his bell completely got destroyed. The lord tried to visualize another bell but he realized a blazing sun had now emerged in front of him. From the sun then came a golden crow and it bore intense saber presence that engulfed the lord and his companions behind him!

“Resistance is futile!”

Angry shouts could be heard and the many lords immediately rushed forward, each casting spells that nullified the saber attacks and sent Zhong Yue flying far far away!

Along with Zhong Yue, Bai Canghai suffered even more injuries and while he was also sent flying away, he was sent back into Zhong Yue’s secret realm to treat his wounds.

Though his saber attacks were nullified or deflected, the lord with the bell fell from the skies, devoid of life force. His Yuan Shen was decimated, and as Zhong Yue’s primary target, the others effortlessly fended off his attack, but this lord did not, and Zhong Yue attacked the others because he merely wanted to prevent them from saving the lord with the bell.

“Sansou, your turn!” Zhong Yue shouted as he regained his balance.

Ma Sansou flew out from his secret realm quickly and turned into his original form, which was a three headed dragon turtle. The patterns on his shell looked like hemp ropes. Thus, his race was also called the Ma Ao Celestial Race. As he came rushing out from Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen secret realm, he shouted, “Don’t worry, I am very fast too and my defense is better than that Brat Bai’s!”

Zhong Yue stood on his back and the turtle started running quickly with his four legs, crushing everything in his path, but his speed was inevitably slower than Bai Canghai’s.

But he couldn’t be bothered anymore as the situation was very dire at the moment. He turned around and took a look at the enemies behind him and the bones on his body fell down but new bones grew instantly as the old ones fell off.

If it was during the usual times, he could reattach the bones back, but at this urgent situation, reattaching the bones would be very quick but they would break easily if struck again. Thus, he would be better off if he just regenerate new bones even though they would not be as solid as the old ones.

“This time, I have to kill two at least!” murmured Zhong Yue.

He reached out his palms and his saber appeared in his hands while the pursuers charged at him. He unsheathed his saber, swung it forward and divine rays overwhelmed the many lords giving chase.

It was the [Moon Tide]!

Then, instead of backing off, he charged at the many lords with relentless power.

Hong long—

He stopped at the middle of the enemy ranks, and this time, his saber became the Solar Divine Saber and he swung it at one of the lords. Then, he quickly circled around him and he would deliver an rapid attack whenever he sees a chance.

“How dare you!”

Then came the attacks of the other lords and the saber in Zhong Yue’s hands turned into a banner. He swung the banner and the lords’ Yuan Shen started to shake, which shocked them, forcing them to split a portion of their attention to stabilize their Yuan Shen while they continued with their attacks.

To their dismay, Zhong Yue’s body broke into pieces, his bones flew everywhere and he evaded the attacks before the broken pieces merged together again. This evasion, however, was not without cost as his bones were shattered; some were finger bones, rib bones, leg bones and even a portion of his skull.

He then quickly backed off, chased after Ma Sansou while the lords behind him gave chase like mad men.

As they chased after Zhong Yue, the lord running at the end of their ranks suddenly had a shock as he realized two sabers appeared behind him before they turned into the black and white Tai Chi Art, which launched rays that drilled into his body like dragons and serpents.

Boom—

The Yuan Shen in his body immediately exploded and Zhong Yue had claimed another enemy’s life!

Zhong Yue then returned to Ma Sansou with unbalanced footsteps and quickly tried to regain his balance. He then thought, I need to kill three more, and let’s see if you’re scared or not! Only by killing them to an extent where their courage is gone will I be able to survive….
