Rise of Humanity

Chapter 488 - Indeed, Who Could Stop Him Now?

“What? Seal Suppression Hall Hall Master left for the South Barren?”

On the Swords Gate golden summit, Jun Sixie’s face turned red upon hearing the news, “This idiot brat … Didn’t he just say that he wouldn’t stir any troubles, yet he is now in South Barren? Doesn’t he know how much the Zhong Li Celestial Race want to hang his head on top of the Fiery Capital? No, I can’t let that happen, I will head over and bring him back! Fu Bao, Fu Bao, take Xuan Yuan over, I will bring him along with me!”

Fu Bao’s face turned pale as she hugged little Xuan Yuan tightly in her arms while Shui Zian quickly said, “Headmaster, calm down, calm down. Although that brat likes to bring trouble everywhere with him, I’m sure he knows what he’s doing. If you bring Xuan Yuan there as well, things will be even more messed up.”

Jun Sixie began prattling imperceptible words before saying, “Can’t he just obediently stay home for a few more days? Why does he have to always make me worry?!”

Shui Zian raised his brows and lowered his head for a second, he thought, Owh, headmaster’s words are starting to sound a little bit ambiguous now. Is she letting out her true feelings now?

“Headmaster, calm down a little, relax.”, Shui Zian laughed dryly and said, “I’ll have the informants to keep an close eye at him. We will act right away if there is any real danger.”

…

Zhong Yue had been travelingfor a few thousand miles before the Fiery Capital finally came into sight. There was a divine tree In front of the grand capital, as large as a mountain and as tall as the sky.

There were many fire dragons frolicking through the leaves and resting on the branches while a beautiful woman was standing on top of the huge tree crown, looking at Zhong Yue.

The clan master of the Zhu Rong Clan, Zhurong Yanqin, smiled and she said, “Little Friend Zhong, do you want to come in and have a cup of tea?”

Zhong Yue hesitated as he pondered at the divine tree.

“I’m just a woman, is the legendary Zhong Yue scared of a mere woman?” Zhurong Yanqin said coquettishly.

“I’m not afraid of you, madam,” Zhong Yue returned the smile back and said, “But I am afraid of Clan Master Xia. If Clan Master Xia and you have joined hands, then even I can’t walk away unharmed. Is Clan Master Xia not here?”

“My husband is still in the West Barren,” Zhurong Yanqin smiled and said, “Although he knows you are coming, he would still need a day to get back.”

Zhong Yue let out a breath of relief, he went onto the divine fire tree and said while smiling, “Madam, you’ve invited me to the tree. Aren’t you worried that Clan Master Xia will get the wrong idea?”

Zhurong Yanqin walk forward; her movements were like that of a fairy’s while her lithe body exuded an aura of strength!

The fire tree’s godly aura burst out, growing stronger with her every step, eventually reaching a point that even magnates wouldn’t be able to withstand!

Deep roars came from beneath the tree crown, and the fire dragons started moving out from the leaves. Their claws looked vicious, and their bodies were the epitome of strength.

Clearly the fire tree was also a divine weapon forged by the Zhong Li ancestors and was incredibly strong. It was already strong on its own, but when Zhurong Yanqin’s arcane energy poured into it, the blazing flames around it even started burning the air in the sky!

The fire dragons weren’t true dragons as well, they were formed by the godly totem patterns and looked so real as if they were true godly dragons!

Standing on the fire tree, it felt like he was a crafting material waiting to be melted by the godly fire and refined by the godly dragons!

The tree-like treasures were incredibly useful, having many means of attack. They could slash, trap, tangle, pierce, perforate and even slice.

Zhong Yue stood on the tree crown, he could feel the godly fire billow over and swallow him. The godly fire was incredibly strong, being able to burn his mortal body as well as his Yuan Shen, incinerating every totem pattern and even his cultivation base!

“Godly fire? I have them too you know. Not only that, but my Yuan Shen is the fire spirit. Although the Zhu Rong Clan’s divine tree has a strong fire, do you really think it can hurt me?”

Zhong Yue laughed out loud, he pulled out the Golden Peng Sword and casually swung it in the sky. Sword rays rained forward and decapitated the incoming fire dragons while also slashing their claws away. As for those fire dragons that survived the sword rays, they were met with a translucent bell around Zhong Yue, scattering into scattered moats of totem patterns upon ramming into the 【Shao Hao Bell】.

Zhurong Yanqin walked on the leaves and with just a finger, she poked through the 【Shao Hao Bell】. Her finger continued poking toward Zhong Yue’s forehead.

Zhong Yue released the Golden Peng Sword from his grip, and the golden sword flew out to kill the dragons around. Zhong Yue then raised his hand and struck toward Zhurong Yanqin.

The 【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】 emerged in his palm with great force

Zhurong Yanqin’s finger poked Zhong Yue’s palm like a stone falling into a tranquil pool of water. Immediately, immense power blasted out from the contact point of the finger and palm.

The two of them shuddered violently, and the rumbling sound of thunder resounded out from within their bodies. In just one strike, the totem patterns in their bodies were broken.

“Little Friend Zhong, your arcane energy is really strong!”

She was the clan master of the Zhu Rong Clan, and although not as strong as Clan Master Xia, she was still an Imminent Deity magnate!

She flicked her fingers at Zhong Yue’s palm that were each backed by the power of a full strike of an Imminent Deity!

Zhong Yue continued darting around the space as he continued to exchange strikes with the Imminent Deity magnate. They were like two fire fairies waltzing on the top of a divine tree.

In just the blink of an eye, they had fought from one end of the tree crown to the other and back. The Golden Peng Sword was also looming in and out of the leaves, killing one dragon after another.

Suddenly, the two of them exchanged a final round of attacks before they were propelled away to opposite corners of the tree crown.

Zhong Yue flashed down from the divine tree and raised his hand. He recalled he Golden Peng Sword back into the light wheels behind his head.

Zhong Yue clasped his hands together and said while smiling, “Madam, Clan Master Xia will be here anytime soon. If he sees the two of us tangling together, he won’t like it and it will also besmirch your image. It’s best that I leave now.”

Killing intent burgeoned in Zhurong Yanqin’s eyes, and she raised her hand. Her silky sleeve slipped down and revealed her jade-like arm. The Fire Dragon Divine Tree flew up from the ground and fell onto her hand.

Just as she was going to slash it down at Zhong Yue, he laughed, “Madam, do you not care about the well-being of those in the city?”

Zhurong Yanqin quickly stopped, she looked far behind Zhong Yue and saw the Fiery Capital behind him. If she brought the Fire Dragon Divine Tree down on Zhong Yue, whole Fiery Capital would also have a taste of its power!

“No wonder even Xia Zhongjin and Xia Zhongguang couldn’t defeat you,” the beautiful lady kept the divine tree, and she chortled, “Zhong Shan boy, you are good. Why don’t you tell me what brings you here? As the owner of this piece of land, I deserve to know why.”

Zhong Yue strode toward Fiery Capital, and he answered, “I’m here to use the Lesser Void World, a fellow Doaist is there waiting for me. I’ll be sending him off today. Madam, you should very well know that I come in peace, or otherwise … blood would’ve been flowing in streams already.”

Zhurong Yanqin followed behind and she asked loudly, “A fellow Daoist? Who is it, who is it that you would deem worthy to be your fellow Daoist?”

“West Barren, Bi Xie,” Zhong Yue strode into the Fiery Capital as his voice lingered in the sky.

“Bi Xie? West Barren Bi Xie?” Zhurong Yanqin’s face changed slightly, “The descendant of the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor?”

In the Fiery Capital, the Martial Heavenly Masters all staring at Zhong Yue. There were also a few Kun Peng magnates that rushed over while the Heavenly Dharma and Inner Core Qi Practitioners went into a formation. They were all filled with great killing intent as they obstructed Zhong Yue’s path.

“Make way for him,” Zhurong Yanqin walked over and said while smiling, “Violence is forbidden in the Fiery Capital, and today is no exception. Since the Zhong Shan Clan member is here without ill-intentions, why don’t we show our magnanimity for once? Zhong Shan boy, you can go.”

Zhong Yue bowed and thanked her, “Thank you, madam.”

The crowd made way for him, the array formation separated from the middle but the soul weapons still hung high above his head along with a few Kun Peng experts, all of them waiting for the opportunity to pounce.

Zhong Yue, however, remained calm and continued onward without fear. In the Fiery Capital, He had destroyed Lord Xia’s godly statue with the Divine Wing Saber. And although it had been rebuilt, its former grandeur was no longer present.

Zhong Yue flew up to the godly statue’s hand and saw two Zhong Li expert guarding the door. One was a Xia Clan Martial Master and the other was a Zhu Rong Qi Practitioner.

Zhong Yue walked toward the door and the two experts made way for him. Zhong Yue nodded at them before disappearing from their sights.

In the next moment, Zhurong Yanqin and the other experts walked over. They all furrowed their brows and looked at the door but didn’t walk in.

“Madam Zhurong, what level is this Zhong Shan Clan in?” A magnate asked.

“Heavenly Dharma, but strong enough to kill the True Spirit magnate.”

Zhurong Yanqin frowned and she said, “We exchanged over hundred strikes and although my arcane energy is stronger than his, it’s not that easy to suppress him either. Oh, what was the comment on him from the god of the West Barren?”

A Zhu Rong expert answered from the side, “Zhong Yue of the Zhong Shan Clan, if he wants to leave the West Barren, who would dare to stop him?”

Zhurong Yanqin sighed, she mumbled softly, “Indeed, who can stop him now?”

The crowd was in shock. Zhurong Yanqin was the clan master of the Zhu Rong Clan, an Imminent Deity magante, and even she said that it would be hard for her to suppress Zhong Yue. One could really tell how high her evaluation of Zhong Yue’s was!

What an eventful period of time, what an eventful days…, Zhurong Yanqin thought in her heart, If the two elders were not dead, if the Four Symbol Banners was not stolen by the Zhong Shan Clan boy, we would’ve been able to make him stay. But now…

She lamented bitterly in her heart, Even Lord Xia’s spirit is suffering severe injuries and the saint weapon is heavily damaged. Now, our Zhong Li Celestial Race can’t even stop a little junior from coming and going as he pleases…

However, the biggest reason she didn’t stop Zhong Yue was because of the human race. She no longer understood the capabilities of the human race, and it was all because of the divine sword that had carved a canyon into into the West Barren.

That event had left a deep mark on her, and without fully understanding the full extent of humanity’s strength, she wasn’t going to do anything to Zhong Yue, especially when her husband was not here.

Suddenly, the crowd started cheering, “Clan Master Xia is back!”

Zhurong Yanqin was overjoyed, she raised her head and her gaze met with her husband’s. Clan Master Xia, Mister Kun Da, and Feng Wuji had all come back and landed in front of the Lesser Void World’s entrance.

Zhurong Yanqin quickly led the experts and greeted them.

Immediately after they greeted one another, Mister Kun Da said, “Where is the Zhong Shan boy?”
