Rise of Humanity

Chapter 507 - Si Ming

Zhong Yue’s heart was troubled, he turned back and crawled on the ground with his four limbs. The moment he laid down on the ground, he transformed into the six-eyed Star Toad and released a loud roar, “Mang-gu——”

The insects were all blasted by the soundwave. Zhong Yue then took the Fuxi celestial form and slithered forward. Fire dragons burst out from his left sun eye and killed the incoming insects while water gushed out from the right moon eye and pushed the insect experts away from them.

He also waved the Golden Peng Sword around, killing the insect experts in front of them.

“Here!" Qiu Jin’er took over Zhong Yue and led the way.

Vines and tree branches paved the ground, stopping the insect experts from coming out from the ground as well as scouting out the path with the information feedback to her by the vines and branches.

The underground space had many holes and tunnels all over the place, some were dead ends, and some were filled with insect experts. However, there were a few which were suitable for them to escape now.

Qiu Jin’er was the Innate Wood Spirit Body; it was her natural ability to be able to control wood. With just a thought, she was able to plant wood in the ground and extend them deep into the tunnels.

As soon as she found the right tunnel for them to leave through, she shouted, “This way!”

Zhong Yue and the others quickly followed her instructions. Fang Jiange led the team at the front while Gu Hongzi covered the back preventing any ambushes from behind.

Before Zhong Yue entered the tunnel, he turned back and looked over at the lady. The mother insect god was also looking him, a bright ray flashing across her eyes.

Zhong Yue dispersed his Fuxi True Form and entered the tunnel, leaving a pile of insect corpses on the ground.

You are a Fuxi … an honorable Fuxi. Yet, here you are with the insects … leading them to the Ancestral Star … Why? Zhong Yue was puzzled.

He racked his head for a possible explanation but came up with nothing, he couldn’t quite accept it and wished with all his might that it wasn’t true. He couldn’t accept the fact that the first Fuxi he met would be standing opposite him on the battlefield… against the Fuxi Celestial Race!

He felt betrayed, betrayed by his own kind.

Zhong Yue had met many gifted humans, but none were able to be considered as a Fuxi.

Feng Xiaozhong had awakened more than 10 percent of the Fuxi blood, but only activated the divine heart and divine bones, he hadn’t attained the Fuxi True Form.

Xuan Yuan also awakened about 10 percent of the Fuxi blood since the day he was born. But most of the blood in him that was awakened was the Leizhe Clan’s blood, which was also why he couldn’t activate the Fuxi True Form either.

Feng Wuji chose a path against humanity. Surely enough, he wasn’t even qualified to be called a Fuxi. Although he was a Feng Clan descendant, the Fuxi blood in him was only three percent awakened at the most.

Qiu Jin’er cultivated the powerful 【Nuwa Visualization Art】 which refined the Fuxi blood in her. But she was also only as good as Feng Wuji.

Thus, only Zhong Yue and this mother insect god could be said to be bona fide members of the Fuxi Celestial Race. Zhong Yue had awakened over 20 percent of the Fuxi blood in him while this mother insect god was a pureblood Fuxi!

The level of her Fuxi blood was far beyond Zhong Yue’s current reach; she was the only pureblood Fuxi Zhong Yue ever seen!

Yet, she was now commanding a planet of insects on a warpath to destroy the Ancestral Star. This was something Zhong Yue could never accepted!

Ancestral Star was only called Ancestral Star because it was the star where the Fuxi Clan rose from. This was the origin of the Fuxi Clan and it was in this star the birth of the first Fuxi taken place!

Not only that, but this was also the star to where all the Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs would return to be buried. This was the Ancestral Star that was revered as sacred in every Fuxi’s heart!

“Some naughty snacks are slipping away from the dining table?" An insect god saw Zhong Yue and the others escaping into a tunnel. His eyes flashed, and just as he was about to go after them, the High Mother said, “Lou Xie, you are to stay for a more worthy opponent. They are not worthy of being pursued by gods.”

She shook her head and said, “Only a few Qi Practitioners, the kids have already been waiting for a long time to feast. Leave these few toys for them to play around with, let them have their own fun hunting for their food. You are to stay for the Ancestral Star gods.”

Other than Zhong Yue and company, the Kun Peng magnate, dragon magnate, and Lang Qingyun also fought their way through the swarming insects alongside a few other experts. They all entered a tunnel and ran for their lives.

The other Qi Practitioners weren’t that lucky anymore. They were trapped in the center of the swarming insects and in just a few moments, they were all reduced to skeletons.

Nearly 3000 Qi Practitioners from the Ancestral Star, all of whom that were Inner Core and above were already dead. Only 35 of the over thousands managed to survive but the hunt wasn’t ending just yet.

“Now, the hunt begins!" Princess Jin Xiu and the other insect Qi Practitioners guffawed with happiness. They each selected their prey and rushed out in pursuit. The experts swarmed out and said loudly, “These experts are ours!”

“Kill them! Eat them!" In the underground of the insect planet, there were holes everywhere. It was like a planet-size ant’s cave, with holes and layers and tunnels everywhere.

Every hundred mile of land, there would be an underground space, some were the insect markets, and others were insect tribes. They even had their own underground insect cities here. The underground was where the majority of the insects lived.

Other than those, there were also the insect temples and palaces where the dead insect god’s godly spirits were enshrined and worshipped by the insect race.

Zhong Yue and the others were traveling from tunnel to tunnel. The insect Qi Practitioners behind them were also getting larger in number with every second and were swarming at them like bees chasing after running honeys.

Qiu Jin’er was placing down the vines and tree branches deep in the ground, seals and traps inside of the tunnels as they traveled across. These vines and tree branches would burst out when the insect Qi Practitioners flew past them, killing the insect experts and stalling them from behind!

The wood element was in fact, good at tangling and stalling the enemies. With Qiu Jin’er being the Innate Wood Spirit Body, a Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioner and a cultivator of the Nine Revolving Inner Core, her cultivation base and prowess were incredibly strong. Making her the perfect candidate to stall the hunters chasing behind them.

Some of the unlucky insect Qi Practitioners would be killed on the spot and those who survived would be entangled by the wood to gradually bleed to death. These vines and tree branches sealed the whole tunnel away, forcing the insects to destroy the wood standing in their way before they were able to continue their pursuit.

As the wood was eaten away and the insect experts were about to continue chasing them, Qiu Jin’er stomped on the ground.

The shattered leaves and woods then became swept up by a strong gale and swirled like a green hurricane across the tunnel!

The insect Qi Practitioners were all caught by surprise and were reduced into a mess of dismembered body parts amidst the green hurricane!

Qiu Jin’er’s renowned 【Sword Seeding Art】 of the 【Great Boundless Sword Qi】!

The 【Sword Seeding Art】 turned the shattered wood into a green hurricane and drilled back into the tunnel, killing insect Qi Practitioners chasing behind them in the tunnel!

“It’s that Innate Wood Spirit Body’s Sword Qi!”

Prince Jin Xiu and the strong insect experts rushed into the tunnel and saw the green hurricane drilling over at them. Princess Jin Xiu smirked and said, “Huo Tiangang, can I trust you with breaking this away?”

“What a petty skill!" A Golden King insect cloaked in fire smiled and said, “Rest assured princess. This is just a small matter!”

This Golden King insect had the torso of a demon but the lower body of a burning toad. His body effused a metallic lustre and looked like he refined a fire elemental divine gold into his mortal body.

Huo Tiangang crouched down on the ground and sucked in a deep breath of air. Right after, he shot out a mouthful of fire at Qiu Jin’er’s green hurricane, burning the shattered leaves, woods and vines away.

Even the Sword Qi Qiu Jin’er added into the 【Sword Seeding Art】 was burned away in the fire.

“Let’s move!”

Princess Jin Xiu led the insect experts and chased after their prey. However, they chose a wrong path during a branch tunnel and thus, missed Zhong Yue and the others.

As soon as they realized they were on the wrong track, Princess Jin Xiu released a loud shrill in anger and shouted, “All Golden King insects, stop them for me!”

On the other side, the Kun Peng magnate Peng Chun and Xia Clan’s Martial Heavenly Master Xia He were running together in a team. They were both getting anxious after traveling for more than a few thousand miles and still couldn’t find their way to the surface of the ground.

Suddenly, the reached an underground space where an ancient city was built on. Above the ancient city, there were many insect experts standing on the city wall. Among which, the leader of the insect experts seemed to be a strong insect who a colorful battle armor with a battle helmet and two long like whip feelers on his head.

“Hehe, the Kun Peng Celestial Race and Zhong Li Celestial Race, I didn’t expect anyone to be able to reach so far from the Mother Queen Palace to me in here." The insect magante stood up and spread out his rainbow wings.

In the blink of an eye, the insect magnate disappeared from the ancient city wall and reached to the front of the Peng Chun and Xia He.

“Niu Jindou of the Longicorn King Race is here to send the two of you to death!" The insect magnate laughed out loud as he said.

The three magnates clashed together. Peng Chun was an expert no any weaker than Peng Jinyi, he an abundance of arcane energy. Xia He dominated in close-quarters combat — he was a Martial Heavenly Master with an extraordinarily strong mortal body.

A few moments later, Xia He was strangled by Niu Jindous’ two long feelers and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t extricate himself from the feelers made of divine golds.

Ka-cha——

Niu Jindou gnawed over and decapitated Xia He from the neck and above, killing the Martial Heavenly Master dead on the spot.

Peng Chun’s face changed drastically, he morphed into the thousand mile huge Kun and lashed out a huge wave of water that flooded the city. Innumerable insects were drowned in the ocean of water.

Peng Chun appeared within the waters and sucked all of the waters along with the insects and also Niu Jindou into his mouth.

Just as he was going to morph into the form of the huge Peng and fly away. A hole cracked on his head as a 10,000 feet huge longhorn beetle ate the top of his head and crawled out from his skull.

Peng Chun’s corpse collapsed to the ground.

Just seconds later, Peng Chun’s huge mortal body shrunk down and countless little bugs could be seen devouring the corpse. In just a few seconds, the huge Kun was left with only a skeletal frame.

Niu Jindou lifted Xia He’s corpse and swallowed it whole, he praised, “These two celestial experts are really delicious. Hehe, I wonder if the other celestials will taste better? Children, come back to me.”

Suddenly, he heard Princess Jin Xiu’s shrill cry and quickly spanned his wings out. He flew out at great speed while the little insects all flew toward his wings, tagging themselves under his wings as he flew into the tunnels.

On the other side, in front of an insect temple. The dragon magnate laid in a pool of blood, a thousand-legged Golden King insect centipede hugged himself over the dragon corpse and was enjoying his food.

Suddenly, the thousand-legged Golden King insect centipede heard the shrill cry and flew up like a dragon into the tunnels. Leaving behind a dragon skeleton on the ground.

Every insect magnate that heard the shrill cry moved; they rushed over to stop Zhong Yue and the others, and the number of experts were growing larger with the passage of time.

This was unbeknownst to to Zhong Yue and the others, but they were still traveling through the tunnels. Suddenly, a guffaw came from the front. An insect magnate hindered on their path like a meat mountain, he was saying loudly, “Brats, do you think you can run from the mighty Jin Sha King…”

Before he finished his words, Gu Hongzi’s godly spirit clawed down and pinned him on the ground. Qiu Jin’er’s Wood Sword Qi blasted out and tangled the insect magnate tight while Fang Jiange’s divine sword pierced through his mortal body and slashed on the Yuan Shen.

“WAIT!" Zhong Yue shouted, “Let him live. Tian Mo Concubine, refine him and search through his memories. We can find the way to escape from him!”

“He is really ugly!" Tian Mo Concubine glanced at the insect magnate and said reluctantly, “Why don’t you do it?”

Zhong Yue raised his brow and mumbled, “Cause he is too ugly…”
