Rise of Humanity

Chapter 1076: Another Killed

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In the palace, Feng Jizu’s twin Jiao dragons had disappeared into Princess Wenyue’s head and body, as if the dragons were just illusions!

“To be able to use the Space and Time Dao as skills to kill, there aren’t many that are able to do this…”

Feng Jizu looked up at the two monarchs and said carefully, “From what I know, only our Fuxi Celestial Race has the ability to master these two Daos… The sinned Fuxi’s monarch, Monarch Hao Yi had created the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture]. Monarch Hao Yi was said to be the supreme master of Time and Dao among the postnate beings. Even though the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] was leaked out to the other races, most of them only acquired the incomplete art. They wouldn’t be able to cultivate it to such a deep level. Your Majesty, is there any chance you may know who he is?”

“Of course I do.” Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s face turned dark as he sneered coldly, “This junior is Mu Xiantian’s most trusted military advisor. He has planted this skill in my daughter’s body as a challenge to me.”

Feng Jizu continued, “His skill, it comes from our Fuxi Clan. But what puzzles me is that his [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] seemed to be even more complete than mine…”

Suddenly, Mo Yin exclaimed anxiously, “Your Majesty, time is almost up!”

Feng Jizu didn’t dare to divert his attention anymore and he quickly focused on Princess Wenyue. He laughed and comforted, “Your Majesty, goddess, generals, and gods, please rest assured. Although his attainment is strong, he stands no chance against my cultivation base. Just watch as I erase his skill!”

As the incense stick reached its end, Princess Wenyue’s body suddenly trembled and light wheels flew out of her body. Then, the sounds of dragons whistled out as saber rays formed into wheels one after another. But in the wheels, there was always a Jiao dragon that contained the saber rays within, stopping them from unleashing their powers.

One after another, the light wheels were diminished by the Jiao dragon. In just seconds, six light wheels were crushed away by the Jiao dragon and Feng Jizu’s wrinkled face smiled, he said, “Your Majesty, goddess, your sinned subject here has not failed you…”

All of a sudden, Princess Wenyue’s face was filled with fear and she sobbed, “It’s not the Six Paths Reincarnations, it’s Seven Paths Reincarnation! Save me—”

Her body disintegrated as her mortal body and Yuan Shen were slashed into pieces, falling to the ground.

Blood splattered all across the floor and Feng Jizu’s face.

Even with over thousands of Deity Emperors, Creators, and Imperial Emperors, 95 innate gods, and also Queen Goddess, they couldn’t dispel the skill.

When time was up, Princess Wenyue’s life was reaped just like that!

Feng Jizu was stunned, he wiped the blood off and revealed a face filled with fear. He quickly shouted, “Your Majesty, goddess, it’s not that I haven’t done my best, but I’ve only cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation, not the Seven Paths Reincarnation. There is no way I can counter the Seven Paths Reincarnation…”

Kacha—

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s turned dark and gloomy, he grabbed the Fuxi in his hand and slowly clenched into a fist. Feng Jizu felt his mortal body and Yuan Shen getting squeezed by an irresistible force. His bones were getting crushed, and the pressure was still getting increasingly stronger. Fear consumed his heart and he screamed with the rest of his energy, “Your Majesty… I still have… Some use… Please… Mercy—”

Pak—

He was crushed into a ball of blood, his Yuan Shen melted in Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s palm, his Daos disintegrating back into nature, and his soul and spirit dispersed. In the end, only a bead condensed from blood was left.

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s eyelids thumped and he flicked his fingers softly, reducing the blood bead into ashes.

“Seven Paths Reincarnation, I, couldn’t counter it. I’ve lost.” Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s face was still dark and gloomy, he announced the result placidly as if it had nothing to do with him.

…

In the Heaven Breaching Fortress, beside the Heavenly Deity Altar.

Ding—

A loud din that stunned the gods resounded throughout the scene, Zhong Yue’s saber had finally returned to its scabbard. Zhong Yue reached his hand out and the saber and scabbard turned into two rays that disappeared in his palm.

The 17,000 gods looked at one another, not knowing if Heavenly Monarch Di Ming had?dispelled the skill Zhong Yue left inside Princess Wenyue’s body. Among them, Lou Zhengshi and the Heaven Court’s gods were the most anxious whereas Zhong Yue had no expressions on his face, neither joy nor anger. The gods couldn’t tell the result from his reactions.

Suddenly, Lou Zhengshi’s totem pillar shook, a messenger has conveyed the situation to him through the pillar.

Lou Zhengshi’s face changed slightly, he looked at Pan Ji, Ting Daoji and the others who were staring closely at him and he shook. Demon Heavenly King lowered his voice and asked, “King Yi couldn’t have killed Princess Wenyue? His Majesty has dispelled the skill?”

Again, Lou Zhengshi shook.

Immediately, the gods understood and were heavily shocked,?“His Majesty couldn’t dispel the skill! Princess Wenyue is dead…”

Zhong Yue stood up, he smiled at Hundun Yu and said, “Senior Martial Brother Yu, those who would come are all mostly here, let us begin.”

Hundun Yu held the name list and stood on the center of the Heavenly Deity Altar. Around the altar were gods sitting on their putians. From the Imperial Star, they all looked like stars hovering high in the skies.

They all had six slowly revolving light wheels behind them; some were bright and some were dimmer.

Some of them who cultivated the body arts were bigger and brawnier, and some were smaller in size due to their cultivation levels as only Deities and Heavenly Deities.

Hundun Yu read out loud, “Zhongyang Clan’s Yang Fengping, Yang Buping, Yang Shaoping, Yang Qingping, are the four senior martial siblings here?”

The Zhongyang Clan’s four experts stood up together and Yang Buping smiled, “We appreciate Brother Hundun’s and King Yi’s attention. All four of us are here.”

Hundun Yu continued, “Luli Clan’s Lu wang, Lu Binger, Lu Xichuan, Lu Ting, are the four senior martial siblings here?”

Lu wang and the other three stood up, he laughed, “We are still not dead yet!”

“Diming Clan’s Prince Wenxing, Prince Wenyu, Princess Wenyue, Princess Wenhe!”

Wenxing, Wenyu, Wenhe stood up to announce their presence but they didn’t say anything. Their faces were all stiffened up.

“Tianyuan Clan’s Senior Martial Brother Yuan Mie… Senior Martial Brother Yuan Mie?”

There was silence across the scene. Moments later, Jinti Clan’s Jin Buhuan stood up and said, “Senior Martial Brother Yuan Mie is dead. I’ve encountered him on the battlefield and after a hard-fought battle, I killed him. Senior Martial Brother Yuan Mie is a formidable foe to me, a fellow Daoist to me on my path to becoming a monarch. With this cup of wine, I will have a toast to his heroic soul.”

He raised the cup and splashed the wine in front of him. The gods followed suit as they all toasted to Yuan Mie.

Hundun Yu continued reading out the name list. On the Board of Future Monarch, many names were added and many more were dimmed away. They were the gods that had died in the war.

But it was unavoidable, part of the natural selection. Even though one had the potential of becoming a monarch, the differences in environment and experience would eliminate most of the talents and only a few would succeed in becoming monarchs.

After a long time, Hundun Yu had finished reading out the name. He looked at Zhong Yue and reported, “King Yi had sent out over 20,000 invitations and 17,454 attended.”

All of a sudden, a bizarre carriage strode in from far and a young man on the carriage smiled, “Brother Hundun, you are wrong, it’s 17,455. King Yi, Xuan Ji is not late, am I?”

Zhong Yue stood up and welcomed him personally with a smile, “Brother Xuan Ji is just right on time. Come quickly, sit.”

Xuan Ji kept the Tian Xuan Chariot and sat down.

No one else should be coming anymore, right??Zhong Yue pondered but just as he thought, five light rays flew across the skies from five directions and landed around the Heavenly Deity Altar. They were all unique in appearance as they revealed their invitation letters and sat down respectively.

Disciples to Evil Monarch, Dark Monarch, Celestial Monarch, Feng Tian, and Yuan Ya! Are they here to capture me? Looks like our General Assembly of Future Monarchs will not be peaceful!

When Zhong Yue saw the newcomers, his eyelids thumped and he inhaled deeply. He walked onto the Heavenly Deity Altar and cast out Tian Pan.

The Treasure of Heavenly Dao hovered in midair and immediately suffused the scene with its Heavenly Dao’s aura. Back then, the Tian Pan he forged couldn’t unleash the Heavenly Dao’s power, but the Tian Pan now was finally able to reveal part of its might.

Zhong Yue halted Tian Pan in midair, he glanced around and raised his voice, “Everyone, in the future, whether will we meet on the battlefield as friend or foe, we are all just Qi Practitioners today, seekers of the Dao. Now, the General Assembly of Future Monarchs will begin. I wish we will be able to forget our stands and factions, and all just focus on cultivating Daos! Everyone, please look at this treasure!”

The gods looked up at Tian Pan. It was filled with the marvelousness of the universe with endless changes happening in it.

Zhong Yue smiled, “This is a treasure for divination. It can gather the wisdom of many and calculate the endless possibilities. It can help us in extending our cultivation arts and techniques, skills, and weapons. If we can work together and research the Seven Paths Reincarnation, we will be sure to achieve something.”

The gods looked carefully at the Tian Pan. When it was forged, there were a million Daos that came to celebrate its birth, even the monarchs had come to fight for it.

Rays flashed across Xian Ji’s eyes as he looked at Tian Pan in deep thought.

Zhong Yue looked over and Xian Ji felt the stare, and they both returned a smile at each other. Zhong Yue thought,?He has no face, that smile is fake.

“Old Man Xuan and Qi, brothers, your divine weapons were destroyed. Why don’t you use this treasure and derive your new divine weapons?” Zhong Yue invited.

Then, Old Man Xuan and Qi stepped forth. They gave a stern yell and surged their arcane energy and psyche into Tian Pan. Immediately, the Dao patterns on Tian Pan started changing in calculations. Moments later, they formed into a furnace, a hammer, a bellow, and an anvil. Even after that, the Dao patterns that formed four treasures were still changing continuously, becoming more and more perfect!

Below the altar, the gods stood up in shock as their heads were raised staring at the images of the four treasures. Turns out, the treasures formed by Dao patterns were slowly approaching the forms of monarch weapons!

Old Man Xuan and Qi were agitated. Their names were made known across the universe with their masteries in smelting, they were simply the best, undefeatable legendary blacksmiths. Even though Zhong Yue had won them over with Tian Pan, it was merely trickery that Zhong Yue had used. In truth, Zhong Yue’s smelting skill was far lacking when compared to the two old men.

However, the two old men’s mastery had reached a peak. They were already at their wit’s end, there was no other way for them to improve anymore.

During the process of forging Tian Pan, Zhong Yue had destroyed their Dao treasures, but now, The Tian Pan was reiterating their Dao treasures and even showed the future of their perfected Dao treasures to them. So how could they be not excited?

The perfected Dao treasures were the monarch weapons!

And with it, their cultivation arts would also be elevated into the monarch arts!

One could say, the Tian Pan had erased the obstructions to their ascension into the monarch level!
