Rise of Humanity

Celestial Monarch Jin Wu was quick, he fluttered his wings and dashed forward and the two tangled in a battle again. On the other hand, Monarch Chang Sheng and Zhong Yue have also rushed toward them.

Demon Monarch Yang Hou grew anxious, he quickly forced a barrage of attacks to push back Celestial Monarch Jin Wu and made his escape again. But just as he rushed out of the Valley of Xi black hole, his body trembled heavily.

Si Ming cast the Six Paths Tian Lun and sliced into his six secret realms, wreaking havoc in his secret realms from within.

He quickly rumbled his cultivation base and pushed Si Ming and Six Paths Tian Lun out of his body. Then, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu caught up to him and they battled again.

In just a short while, Demon Monarch Yang Hou was filled with wounds all over his body. He was forced to take a strike from Celestial Monarch Jin Wu in exchange for an opening to escape.

Hu—

The thousand-winged ancient ship followed closely behind with Zhong Yue and Monarch Chang Sheng standing on the deck. They both cast out their Seven Paths Reincarnation and launched their attacks.

Celestial Monarch Jin Wu was not slow to catch up either. With a sway of his body, countless innate feather swords were shot out toward Demon Monarch Yang Hou.

Seeing the attacks, Demon Monarch Yang Hou lamented over his imminent death and all of a sudden, a deep drumming noise could be heard coming from Valley of Xi’s black hole.

“[Daoless Heavens]! It’s Dark Monarch!” Zhong Yue exclaimed in shock.

With the drum, all of them muffled a deep groan and their cultivation base and arcane energy were suppressed away, not able to cast even a single skill!

Then, a wave of terrifying power surged out from the black hole and invaded their bodies. If it were before, the black hole’s power wouldn’t even affect them in the slightest, but with their powers locked away from them now, the situation could not be said to be the same anymore.

The black hole was revolving at an incredible speed and its gravitational pull was immense, not even light could escape from it and it could even grind the suns into streams of Chaos air.

Immediately, the experts could feel their mortal bodies getting crushed by the black hole and their hairs pulverized by it!

Only Si Ming was fortunate to be spared from the suffering as she was in Demon Monarch Yang Hou’s Yuan Shen secret realms with her Six Paths Tian Lun when the drum sounded.

But not only did the drum make it impossible for Demon Monarch Yang Hou to push her out of his secret realms, it also suppressed her cultivation base and arcane energy, stopping her from casting the Six Paths Tian Lun.

“To the cabins!” Zhong Yue grabbed Shi Tuo and Xing Tian and rushed into the cabins of the thousand-winged ancient ship. The thousand-winged ancient ship was a treasure forged by the ancient Deity Kings and Great Si Ming, it was able to resist the black hole’s power.

At the same time, Monarch Chang Sheng was rushing toward the ancient ship, but the black hole’s speed was faster than his expectation. He was separated from the ancient ship and left behind very quickly.

Demon Monarch Yang Hou sprinted outward with his four legs and tried to escape from the black hole but failed because he wasn’t able to use his arcane energy and skills!

Celestial Monarch Jin Wu morphed into his Golden Crow True Form and tried to fly away, but he too, was unable to leave without the support of his arcane energy and skills.

Dark Monarch finally made his move. In the cabin, Zhong Yue’s heart sank. There were only three of them here and Celestial Monarch Jin Wu wasn’t in the cabin. He couldn’t help but worry as if Dark Monarch were here himself, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu would not be able to escape death anymore!

Dong——

Then, the second drum noise came. Zhong Yue immediately heaved a breath of relief as he knew Dark Monarch didn’t come himself. As if he did, he wouldn’t have to cast the Drum of Dusk twice.

Dark Monarch’s prowess was infinitely close to a Dao God’s. He could be said to be one of the closest to becoming a Dao God. If he were personally here, he would only need to cast the [Daoless Heavens] once and Celestial Monarch Jin Wu would be left powerless on the floor.

If it isn’t Dark Monarch himself, then who would it be?

Rays flashed in Zhong Yue’s eyes, he took out two Drums of Dusk and walked out of the cabin to the deck. He thought, No matter who it is, as long as it’s not Dark Monarch, there is nothing to be afraid of! You know the [Daoless Heavens] and I do too. Then, let us battle [Daoless Heavens] with [Daoless Heavens]!

Zhong Yue stood on the deck, he placed the two Drums of Dusk in front of him and gave a stern yell. Then, he drummed heavily on the two Drums of Dusk and his powers returned to him the moment the drums sounded.

Zhong Yue quickly cast his arcane energy and cast the [Daoless Heavens], drummed heavily on the drums!

In the black hole, Demon Monarch Yang Hou, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu, and Monarch Chang Sheng were initially struggling to save themselves and stay alive relying on their monarch-level mortal body. They were resisting the [Daoless Heavens] and Valley of Xi’s black hole with pure strength and tried to regain their powers.

When Zhong Yue first drummed on the Drums of Dusk, they could feel a surge of their powers returning to them, but just in the next second, Zhong Yue’s [Daoless Heavens] sealed their powers again!

The three monarchs cursed quietly in their hearts and were quick to notice the differences between Zhong Yue’s drum sounds to the previous one. There were slight differences between the two types of drumming sounds.

Furthermore, these two types of drum sounds were clashing and trying to overcome the other!

The three monarchs were puzzled, they didn’t know who was the other one casting the same skill.

Whoever it is, his prowess is stronger than mine!

On the deck, Zhong Yue’s face turned solemn. The one casting the [Daoless Heavens] on the other side was much stronger than him in prowess, he was most probably an Imperial Emperor. Even when Zhong Yue had two Drums of Dusk, he was still suppressed by it and his drum sounds were getting muted.

It was at this moment, inside of Demon Monarch Yang Hou’s Yuan Shen secret realms, in the Six Paths Tian Lun, Si Ming flipped her hand and took out another Drum of Dusk.

Dong—

The drum sound with the power of the [Daoless Heavens] was let out from within Demon Monarch Yang Hou’s body and worked together with Zhong Yue to resist the mystery opponent!

Blood immediately trickled out of Demon Monarch Yang Hou’s nostrils and his Yuan Shen secret realms were starting to decompose. He couldn’t help but be filled with terror.

Even if he got sucked into the Valley of Xi’s black hole, it would take at least a thousand years for it to pulverize him into ash. However, Si Ming’s drumming in his Yuan Shen secret realms would speed up the process by ten times or more!

Dong— dong— dong—

Three cultivators and four Drums of Dusk, the drumming never stopped. Si Ming was an incredible expert herself. She was just a fine line away from becoming an Imperial Emperor. With her joining Zhong Yue together, their drummings suppressed the mysterious opponent and even pushed back toward him.

She had been studying the Drum of Dusk for many years and tried to use it to strengthen herself just like Zhong Yue did. In the process of doing so, she attained the [Daoless Heavens]. Thus, her casting the [Daoless Heavens] with the Drum of Dusk now was even stronger than Zhong Yue casting it with two Drums of Dusk!

Whereas on the other hand, Demon Monarch Yang Hou was suffering much as she drummed. His Yuan Shen secret realms were crumbling and his Daos collapsing. He was entirely consumed by terror!

Be it Zhong Yue or Si Ming or the mysterious opponent, they all had the prowess of Imperial Emperors. In addition to the uncanny power of the [Daoless Heavens], the trio was strong enough to suppress a monarch already. Not to mention that Si Ming was drumming just inside of his Yuan Shen secret realms, it was no surprise he couldn’t endure it.

If this goes on further, I will not die in Monarch Chang Sheng’s or the old bird’s hands, but these two Fuxi rebels!

Beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead. There was still the black hole that was constantly diminishing his mortal body on the outside. Be it inside of his body or outside, he was in a dire situation!

He was Demon Monarch’s disciple, but he was already a monarch, Demon Monarch wouldn’t have left any branding in his psyche ocean to protect him anymore. Furthermore, there weren’t many existences in this cosmos that could put someone like Demon Monarch Yang Hou in such a deadly situation. No one expected him to fall into this state by the hands of a few juniors!

“Yang Hou, if you submit to me, I will save your life!” All of a sudden, Si Ming said.

Demon Monarch Yang Hou gritted his teeth, he sneered coldly and refuted, “Little girl, you want me to submit to the Fuxis? Do you have no idea what a demon monarch is? When my name was shaking the cosmos in fear, you weren’t even born!”

Si Ming didn’t answer but continued drumming the Drum of Dusk. At the same time, the Six Paths Tian Lun started turning and cutting down on Demon Monarch Yang Hou’s Yuan Shen secret realms, causing them to show signs of crumbling.

Demon Monarch Yang Hou was filled with anger and terror.

Whereas Zhong Yue cast the thousand-winged ancient ship and sailed toward the source of the drum while maintaining his drumming. After a short moment of traveling, he could vaguely see a Dao kid donned in black robe drumming on a huge drum with his two hands in front of the black hole.

An additional pair of arms grew below his armpits while the first two arms were drumming, the second pair of arms drew an arrow on his back!

The bow was fully drawn, a dark and pitch black arrow was nocked on it. As it was released, it flashed through Zhong Yue’s vision in the blink of an eye. But it wasn’t directed toward Zhong Yue, it was headed for the deeper parts of the Valley of Xi’s black hole!

So I was right, he must be one of Dark Monarch’s Dao kids, a junior martial brother to Mu Xiantian!

Rays flashed in Zhong Yue’s eyes and he sailed the ancient ship to ram toward the Dao kid, but the Dao kid ignored him entirely. Instead, he continued to draw the bow and shot out another few rounds of arrows.

Krong——

The thousand-winged ancient ship rammed on the Dao kid’s back and caused him to cough blood out of his mouth. He quickly kept the Drum of Dusk and intended to leave, he sneered coldly and said, “King Yi, I know you. You are a subject to my senior martial brother, Mu Xiantian. Know your place, peasant!”

Zhong Yue cast the ancient ship and rammed again while the Dao kid blocked himself with the Drum of Dusk. The ship and drum clashed hard and a loud explosion was created in the center.

Right at that moment, Si Ming’s drumming came and suppressed the Dao kid’s prowess. Zhong Yue seized the chance, cast out the innate divine saber and beheaded the Dao kid.

The Dao kid’s head fell to the ground and suddenly, his ears enlarged crazily into a pair of wings. He fluttered away while saying sternly, “King Yi, what are you doing? Are you trying to defy me? I will tell senior martial brother and have him kill all of your kind!”

His headless body drew the bow and shot an arrow toward Zhong Yue!

Dong—

Zhong Yue drummed the Drum of Dusk and halted the black arrow. He cast the ancient ship to give chase while shooting out his divine saber, piercing through the flying head. He said coldly, “You already threatened to kill my people, so how can I still let you go?”

“Stop!” Fear filled the Dao kid’s eyes, he said solemnly, “King Yi, I am a martial brother to Mu Xiantian…”

“I’ve already killed a few of Mu Xiantian’s martial siblings, adding you into the list wouldn’t make any difference!”

Zhong Yue clenched on the saber hilt and slashed down, splitting the head apart into halves. Then, he turned around and gave another strike to mince the headless body.

He reached his hand and picked up the falling bow. Suddenly, he hesitated for a moment and threw it away. Then, he turned around and sailed back toward the Valley of Xi!

His target wasn’t me, it’s Celestial Monarch Jin Wu! Those arrows he shot out, they were directed toward Celestial Monarch Jin Wu!

Krong—

The thousand-winged ancient ship rammed through the shattered suns and directly sailed toward the black hole. After a moment, it arrived at the top of the Valley of Xi. Zhong Yue opened his divine third eye and glanced around to search for Celestial Monarch Jin Wu.

All of a sudden, his heart sank as he saw a titanic three-taloned Golden Crow fallen on a continent in the Valley of Xi. On its back were dozens of black arrows that went through its chest and in front of it was the Demon Suppression Grand Temple and stone tablet raised by Monarch Xi Hao.

As of now, the temple had fully risen above the ground.

“Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng!”

Zhong Yue was in fear, he quickly took out the totem pillar to contact Monarch Chang Sheng while cast the ship to rush to Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s side, he shouted, “Come and save life——”
