Rise of Humanity

Chapter 529 - The Affectioned Demon Ladies

Zhong Yue asked the experts to enter his Yuan Shen secret realms while he calmed himself. Zhong Yue strode on the surface of the moon and his pace grew faster with every second.

In just a few moments, he had raised his speed to its limit — five times faster than the speed of sound!

Krong——

All of a sudden, Zhong Yue took a huge step and crouched his legs. Web-like cracks emerged around him and he blasted out like an arrow!

He stepped in the air, and suddenly, mystical totem patterns emerged beneath his feet and formed into an altar with nine demon gods bowing down around the altar.

Like this, Zhong Yue continued toward the Ancestral Star. Meanwhile, the Golden Crow wings spread out on his back, but it wasn’t air that the wings were pushing, but fire and lightning totem patterns.

His speed was still steadily increasing, he was now six times the speed of sound!

Every step he took, another altar would form beneath his feet to act as a platform to propel himself off of, and every beat of his wings was accompanied with fire and lightning.

Soon, his speed reached ten times that of sound and was still increasing.

Eleven, twelve, thirteen…

In the end, his acceleration slowed, and air started to appear around him as he drew closer to the Ancestral Star’s atmosphere.

Now, he was already nineteen times faster than the speed of sound, just a little more and he would be able to rush into the Ancestral Star without being struck by the Pure Yang lightning.

However, at this speed, it would be a great challenge to his mortal body the moment he entered the atmospheric layers. One mistake and he would perish into ashes in a split second!

Furthermore, he would have to be mindful of the his angle of entry; or otherwise, he could be like a stone skipping above a pool of water, or the atmospheric layer could repel him off and away into the endless space if his angle was too shallow.

Boom————

Zhong Yue plummeted into the atmospheric layer. The immense impact force deafened his ears and blood trickled out of his seven orifices as the friction force set his body ablaze into a flaming meteor.

Meanwhile, thunder rumbled within the cloud layers as the Pure Yang lightning zone sensed the presence of his Yuan Shen.

Krong, krong … Ka-cha…

The clouds brewed and in the blink of an eye, a flash of Pure Yang lightning struck right at Zhong Yue.

It was like a sign of war, Pure Yang lightning formed together into a Leize dragon god that continue to grow ever more corporeal with every second!

Zhong Yue bellowed out loud, he mustered all of his strength and pushed through his limits. His mortal body was nearly torn apart by the immense friction force. He plummeted straight through the atmospheric layers like a falling star into the Ancestral Star!

Behind him, the Pure Yang lightning rained on him. The lightning was like golden snakes and dragons, slithering and soaring down at Zhong Yue.

The Leize dragon god raised its gigantic claw over Zhong Yue, imposing its shadow over him. In that instant, Zhong Yue appeared to be no bigger than a mosquito to the dragon god.

“We are dead! Inside of Zhong Yue’s light wheel secret realms, Bai Canghai gave a shrill cry and shouted.

Gu Hongzi and the other experts were also no better, their faces were pallid as they watched the incoming lightning. But suddenly, Tian Mo Concubine and the demon ladies heard Bai Canghai, they patted their chests and said with relief, “With Senior Martial Brother Bai’s auspicious words, we can all relax.”

Bai Canghai’s face blushed red with anger as he shouted back, “I’m not joking! We are really going to dying!”

“Then we are all good, no problem! Gu Hongzi, Tian Yanzhong and the others comforted one another, “With little Bai saying it like this, we will definitely be alright!”

“Arghh!!”

Zhong Yue roared, and his speed grew even faster. He was fully engulfed in flames and from far, he looked like a meteor striking down to the ground, dragging a long tail of light rays behind him.

At that moment, it felt like as though time had stopped. The distance between himself and the lightning remained the same and even the Leize dragon god’s claw wasn’t getting any closer even for an inch.

In this moment, Zhong Yue traveled at a speed as fast as lightning, not even the Pure Yang lightning could catch up to his speed.

Zhong Yue finally made it out of the upper sky lightning zone, the mountains and rivers grew larger in his eyes and he flew past above them while crashing toward the Eastern Sea.

He wanted to slow his speed down but his efforts weren’t bearing, his speed was way too fast for him to cast any skills out.

At this rate, it would be no different if he were to slam into a metal board than crash into the Eastern Sea.

Gu Hongzi and the others quickly realized their situation. Gu Hongzi quickly cast out the monster god Yuan Shen and its wings spread out to catch as much air as possible to slow their descent. Immediately, Zhong Yue’s speed has slowed down a little, but it was still too fast.

In the sky, a ray of light drew a beautiful arc across the sky and crashed into the Eastern Sea. A 1000 foot high tidal wave rose on the sea surface and billowed in all directions.

The crashing point was near Sulphur Island, making it the first unfortunate victim of the huge tidal wave. The whole Sulphur Island was swallowed in the water and suddenly, the protective array formation of the island was activated to push against the water wave. But it only lasted a few seconds and was crushed by the water wave’s impact force as countless monsters were swept into the ocean.

Meanwhile, a thousand miles away from Sulphur Island, the Jin Xiu Island was also struck hard by the tidal wave. Further away from the two islands, the Feng Sha Island also suffered a sudden disaster as well.

“Brat! Who are you, how dare you ambush the three islands!?”

The three islands were caught unawares and the island lords flew out into the sky. They rushed over but before they could get any closer, Gu Hongzi, Zuo Xiangsheng, Bai Canghai and the others cast out the divine weapons. Beside them, there were many bizarre looking insect magnates hovering above the sea surface, around thirty of them.

Without any hesitation, the three island lords turned and bolted away.

What a joke, how could they ever fight against so many insect magnates?

Not to mention that even Gu Hongzi and the other experts weren’t easy targets as well, more so when they have so many divine weapons with them.

“Hmm … Zhong Yue is with them, and he looks gravely wounded. Are Gu Hongzi and the others joining hands to kill him? the Sulphur Island Lord ventured a wild guess.

Jin Xiu Island Lord mulled and said, “Didn’t Zhong Yue and the others go to the insect planet? Why are they suddenly here? I heard that the insect planet expedition has been a failure and that only two gods managed to made it out. How did they survive? From the numbers alone, they are more than the gods…”

Feng Sha Island Lord shook his head and said, “These juniors have grown strong enough, we aren’t their match anymore. We should stay away from them. After all, we didn’t go head on against them, we haven’t suffered any humiliation yet.”

The three island lords discussed together and decided to turn around back to their own islands. Suddenly, Tian Yanzhong’s voice came from the back, he said, “Weird, why did the three monster island lords come and leave so quickly? Are they afraid of us?”

The three island lords staggered and Sulphur Island Lord sneered coldly, he said, “They are trying anger us, do not fall for it. If we turn back and fight them now, do you think we can survive?”

The other two lords nodded and concurred, “Yes, yes. We three island lords are the most generous and kind and magnanimous of all, we mustn’t lose our composure and be angered by those little juniors.”

“Haha, we are the three most gentle monsters of the whole monster race, we will forgive him for being rude.”

“Name and reputation are nothing for us, we never cared for those as we are pure and free of these burdens!”

……

“These three brats ran so fast!” Tian Mo Concubine said.

Thankfully, Gu Hongzi and the others came out and helped in reducing the speed, and so Zhong Yue suffered fewer injuries than he expected. With the Immortal Body, he should be able to recover in no time.

The experts all heaved a breath of relief, they never really expected to make it back to the Ancestral Star.

The dangers, battles, enemies, and pervasive threat of deaths that constantly hung over their heads formed a collective experience that anyone would call extraordinary.

This was not to mention teleporting out of the insect planet and crashing twelve stars onto the insect planet to totally wipe otu the insect race. Such events wouldn’t even make sense to the world, and none of those who were there would dare to believe it if it weren’t for the fact that they had witnessed it all first-hand.

Also, no one would believe that they had traveled all the way from the insect planet back to the Ancestral Star, and also the unexpected encounter with Feng Xiaozhong and Shi Tuo on the Celestial Fire Star.

“Senior Martial Brother Zhong, I’ll return to the North Barren now. Bai Canghai was engulfed in sorrow upon recalling the death of his clan’s god, Bai Yuncang. He bowed to Zhong Yue and said, “I will never forget the deeds you have done for us, you will always be remembered and if there is anything you need at all, I will do my best to help you. See you, senior martial brother.”

After Bai Canghai, Gu Hongzi flew up into the sky and said, “Junior Martial Brother Zhong, I will see you again.”

“Senior Martial Brother Gu Hongzi. Wait!” Zhong Yue quickly stopped him and then hurled the serpent spear toward Gu Hongzi while saying, “This is the monster god Yu Wenju’s divine weapon, he obviously has no more use for it, and I think it’ll be better in your hands!”

Gu Hongzi clenched on the serpent spear in surprise. After a brief moment, he suddenly waved his hand before disappearing into the clouds.

Tian Yanzhong and Zuo Xiangsheng first looked at one another, then they looked at Zhong Yue and finally looked at the demon ladies. The two human experts suddenly burst out with laughter before leaving together, they said casually, “Junior martial brother, we will leave first. See you at Swords Gate!”

Zhong Yue nodded and he turned at the demon ladies. Suddenly, Tian Mo Concubine chortled and said, “Darling, where is our darling Bo Xun?”

“Bo Xun is here. A cold voice came within Zhong Yue’s light wheels and Mister Bo Xun walked out from his Yuan Shen secret realms.

Despite being Zhong Yue’s demon incarnation, he had to admit that Mister Bo Xun’s handsomeness was beyond what Zhong Yue could ever hope to reach. After all, this demon was renowned as the most handsome demon for the past 10,000 years of the demon race’s history.

Immediately, the demon ladies swarmed over and surrounded Bo Xun, pushing Zhong Yue away.

Laughter and flirtatious chortles sounded out from the demon ladies while one of them abruptly shouted happily, “All we want is Bo Xun, Zhong Yue is not needed.”

The ladies surrounded Bo Xun and they left. All of a sudden, Zhong Yue spoke.

“Tian’er!”

Tian Mo Concubine stopped moving and was instantly left out from the crowd, she turned her head and gave a bright smile.

Zhong Yue hesitated for a second and he said, “Tian’er, you should know very well that Bo Xun is just my demon incarnation, you all…”

Tian Mo Concubine suddenly chortled and stopped Zhong Yue from saying anything further, she said, “Zhong Yue has his own home and his own people, he has his own burdens and responsibility and even if we had fallen in love with you, all we\'ll ever be able to see will be the shadow of your back.”

Zhong Yue was startled, Saint Concubine also turned around and continued saying in a placid tone, “On the other hand, Bo Xun doesn’t have such burdens on him, he is also a demon in nature and our perfect other half, our lover. We are willing to fall in love with him. He is a part of you while also not you as well. He has your good points but is also a loving demon.”

Then, Ji Xiang Concubine stopped and tilted her head back, she smiled brightly and said, “You are loving as well, but your love isn’t suitable for us. But his love is the perfect love for us.”

At that moment, a realization hit Zhong Yue, and he stood there for a very long time. By the time he recollected his thoughts, the demons were already long gone.

Zhong Yue shook his head and said while smiling, “These demon ladies…”

He raised his hand and felt the breeze of wind through his fingers. His sleeve swayed with the wind as he turned and left.
