Rise of Humanity

But now, Teng Kun could no longer hear what Zhong Yue said; in truth, Teng Kun was a top tier Qi Practitioner with great intelligence, and this was proven when Teng Kun targeted Xuan Bin of the Heaven Realm ever since he knew that Xuan Bin was of the Black Tortoise Celestial Race.

The sole reason he challenged Zhong Yue, Zheng Yan and Xuan Xue was so that they would each cast a spell strong enough to force him away in order to paralyze Xuan Bin.

Thus, when Xuan Bi thought he would be able to force Teng Kun to back off by casting a spell, he walked right into the trap set up by Teng Kun; when he split in two, his strength and defense was also split, which made him weaker as compared to when he was still one.

Hence, Teng Kun exploited that moment and decimated Xuan Bin, showing superior strength and intelligence.

However, when he tried to test the power of Zhong Yue and the others, he used quite a handful of skills and when he assassinated Xuan Bin, he used two more skills and though Zhong Yue only had a glimpse of his power, it was already sufficient for Zhong Yue to see through Teng Kun’s secrets.

When Zhong Yue pressed his finger on Teng Kun’s vine spear, it looked just like a normal touch, but in truth, Zhong Yue had channeled his power into the vine spear and ultimately disrupted the balance of Teng Kun’s power.

With just a touch, Teng Kun’s power was disrupted and when he appeared behind Zhong Yue, he immediately exploded and died on the spot.

Though Teng Kun was very strong because of the four powers of the four races in him, Zhong Yue still towered over him when it came to mastery on the cultivation of both celestial and demonic powers.

Hence, it was very natural that he was defeated by Zhong Yue swiftly and effortlessly.

And if Teng Kun hadn’t exposed his power in front of everyone, Zhong Yue would only be able to kill him after exchanging about five to six blows.

When that happened, things would be very dire for Zhong Yue as when Teng Kun and Dai Wuji teamed up, that short period of time would have cost Zhong Yue his life.

Just as soon as Zhong Yue halted his movements, the ninety nine bells of Dai Wuji fell onto him and that greatly shook Zhong Yue for when he was merely delayed by Teng Kun for a split second, Dai Wuji had gained the upper hand.

Dai Wuji’s bells were a type of emperor-level skill that unleasehd 99 emperor-level skills at once!

When it came to their level right now, a split second was more than enough to decide the winner and with the upper hand gained, Dai Wuji had placed Zhong Yue in a very dangerous situation!

Guang—

The bells rang and with the golden crow wings appearing behind his back, Zhong Yue quickly backed off at high speed in an attempt to evade the soundwave of the bells and wherever he flew, that place was shattered into pieces by the soundwaves.

At the same time, Dai Wuji stepped forward and clapped his hands, sending his bells right after Zhong Yue and launching more attacks at him again!

Upon seeing this, Zhong Yue backed off again only to have Dai Wuji step forward and clap his hands again. When the bells rang loudly, Dai Wuji said coldly, “Evil God Zhong, if you back off again, you will be out of the arena!”

The arena was the palm of Realm Monarch Si and if Zhong Yue retreated even further, he would be outside of the arena and he will become the loser of the battle.

Without a sign, Zhong Yue halted suddenly and two saber ray emerged out of nowhere and before they clashed towards the soundwaves, they shrunk and merged into a tiny black and white Tai Chi Art.

At the moment where the ninety bell soundwaves clashed with the [Dao Crusher], saber ray overwhelmed the surroundings, and in a second, the soundwaves were cut apart and the loud bell sound merely rang for less than a second before they became silenced.

This was because the soundwaves were formed from soundwave totem carvings and with the totem carvings cut apart, the sound of the bell completely got nullified.

Meanwhile, right when Dai Wuji’s attack was nulified, Zhong Yue charged forward in an instant and he flew towards Dai Wuji in zig zags; when looked at from afar, the trails left behind by Zhong Yue looked like a slithering Jiao Dragon and this dragon was getting into a dangerous distance for Dai Wuji.

With each flaps, Zhong Yue slammed his hands forward and each time he swung his hands, the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] would form behind him gradually and they rotated around Zhong Yue.

In a blink of an eye, Zhong Yue was already face to face with Dai Wuji and the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] spun around Zhong Yue in high speed and towards Dai Wuji with unstoppable force.

While facing against Zhong Yue’s [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art], Dai Wuji swung his sleeves rapidly onto the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] as he backed off gradually and steadily.

This was a type of movement technique while Zhong Yue used the [Soaring Dragon Hundred Forms], while Dai Wuji cultivated the [Dance of The Godly Butterflies] and both were rare and amazing movement techniques.

Suddenly, the bells rang again and the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] around Zhong Yue shattered immediately. At the same time, saber rays flew towards Zhong Yue and when he pointed upwards , the tiny black and white Tai Chi Art flew towards the skies and right after it expanded, the Tai Chi Art swallowed the ninety nine bells whole.

The sound vanished in an instant again, and while saber rays flew out from the Tai Chi Art, they completely reduced the ninety bells into pieces.

However, with another clap, ninety nine bells were formed again but saber rays rained down on him from the top and sliced the bells apart again.

Dai Wuji’s expression changed upon this scene but when he backed off again, Zhong Yue halted his advance and said, “Brother Dai, you’ve lost.”

Dai Wuji quickly looked around and when he realized he was forced out from the palm of Realm Monarch Si, his expression turned pale and he said as he bowed, “Amazing, Evil God Zhong.”

Without wasting even a second, Dai Wuji turned around and left without hesitation as he accepted his defeat.

Dai Wuji was a formidable foe. Though he was weaker than me, he managed to walk away unscathed from my attacks. He has proven himself far superior than the Bell Master from Prison Realm .

Zhong Yue praised in his heart for even being weaker than him, Dai Wuji’s masteries in bell were not any weaker than Zhong Yue’s masteries in his skills.

However, if Zhong Yue had not experienced the intense teaching of Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud, the outcome of this battle would be unknown only until the last second.

With the teachings of Eighteen Emperors of the Heavenly Cloud, Zhong Yue experienced a rapid growth in his overall strength, thus, allowing him to flip the table over when he lost the upper hand.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, on top of the other two fingers of Realm Monarch Si, the battle between Xuan Xue from Celestial Realm and Zheng Yan from Myriad Realm was also coming to an end as the battle reached its climax!

Xuan Xue might be a woman right now but her attacks were all extremely brutal and her movements were very big; her energy was so powerful that whenever she threw punches and attacks, she would create huge movements as if she were swinging a huge battle axe!

Her techniques were already on such a high level where she had removed every unnecessary movement and simplified them down to a terrifying level; while her attacks looked very simple and plain, they contained horrifying power that each time Zheng Yan tried to break her techniques, these seemingly simple techniques would generate countless transformations that would repel Zheng Yan’s attack!

Xuan Xue appeared to be the strongest among them all. She really lived up to her name as the five generation celestial emperor!

Zhong Yue’s heart sank slightly upon the power Xuan Xue displayed but at the same time, he can’t help but praise her; her masteries on her techniques were obviously a level higher than Zhong Yue’s and that was something she had accumulated throughout her previous five lives.

Her greater techniques had been altered into lesser techniques, which allowed her to cast them in an even quicker speed but without decreasing the power of her techniques and she could even switch from one to another freely.

And it was not easy to pull off a calculation to seek for the weaknesses of someone on that level!

I might be no match for her.

Zhong Yue madly calculated Xuan Xue’s techniques as he observed the battle between the two ladies but just as he calculated one weakness, Xuan Xue who was fighting Zhong Yue had already used more than three techniques and ever since the beginning, whatever she used did not even reappear again!

Usually, Qi Practitioners would master only a few types of techniques as everyone knew that it would be hard to acquire the quintessence of a technique if they cultivated too many techniques.

For example, Zhong Yue had less than ten techniques that he was really good at; the [God Slaying Three Styles], [Dragon Shears], [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art], [Mystic Dao Crusher], and also the [Six Soul Banner].

Even the [Shao Hao Bell] was not one of the skills he really mastered, he was not that good with it as he did not receive the true quintessence of [Shao Hao Bell] and the chance to observe the patterns and totem patterns of the true Shao Hao Bell.

As for Xuan Xue, her techniques were beyond imagination, not to mention the fact that she had already mastered all of them!

If he were to go head to head with Xuan Xue, he wouldn’t even be able to decipher her techniques and he would have to explore other ways to win against her.

Besides, without using any repeated techniques, Xuan Xue was obviously keeping an eye out for Zhong Yue as she knew Zhong Yue’s capabilities, thus, she was eliminating every chance of Zhong Yue being able to calculate the weaknesses in her!

If nothing else happens, Xuan Xue will be the winner.

As soon as this thought rose in Zhong Yue’s mind, five True Spirits appeared behind Zheng Yan; two had bird’s body and human’s face, another two with serpent body and human face, the last with human face and beast body and they had dragons and serpents under their feets.

As the five True Spirits emerged, they worked together and cast a great spell where this spell looked like a huge seal with carvings of the five Innate True Spirits!

The seal contained the power of five elements and the power effortlessly dwarfed the skills of Xuan Xue which she had cultivated for five lives as the seal simply mowed down all the skills Xuan Xue threw out!

Xuan Xue’s expression changed right away as she kept on hurling skills forward, had them to clash with the seal and while she backed off, her face turned pale under the powerful impact.

In front of this terrifying seal, her defensive measures were useless and her resistance was completely futile!

KRONG—

A huge explosion burst out as Xuan Xue created a shield in front of her, only to be sent flying away from the Realm Monarch Si’s palm.

This was completely out of Zhong Yue’s expectation as Xuan Xue was steadily maintaining the upper hand. Moreover, who could’ve known that Zheng Yan still had something like this hidden up her sleeves which knocked Xuan Xue out of the arena!

“A Creator-level technique?”

Xuan Xue regained her balance quickly as she suffered no injuries and the surprised Xuan Xue looked into Zheng Yan’s eyes and asked, “Did this Creator-level skill come with the imperfected cultivation technique you’ve obtained?”

On the other hand, Zheng Yan was panting heavily. It seemed that the cost of activating this technique wasn’t small, “You’re right, the cultivation technique is only half perfect, thus, the power of this skill was also not fully unleashed.”

Upon having her question answered, Xuan Xue turned around right away and when she left the arena, she said, “You’ve won. The techniques of the Creators are definitely stronger than mine.”

And with Xuan Xue’s departure, only Zhong Yue and Zheng Yao remained on the palm.

“Senior Martial Sister Zheng, I suppose you need some time to recover from that battle just now.” Zhong Yue said, “I suggest we wait until you’ve regained your breath first before we commence our battle.”

“Thank you, Evil God Zhong!” replied Zheng Yao immediately as she sat down and quietly tried her best to recover.
