Rise of Humanity

Ju Ying, Yu Bochuan and the others were greatly motivated by his words and they burst out laughing, “Well said! They all look like they’re weak and easy targets!

However, little did they know that Zhong Yue was not trying to rally them but instead, simply stating his honest opinion; these Qi Practitioners were more than just weak in his eyes.

Initially, he was already someone in the top tier, but after being baptized by the Realm Monarchs, his overall strength surged to horrifying levels making others seem even weaker than before.

Meanwhile, the already enraged Qi Practitioners around became even more incensed upon hearing Zhong Yue’s provocation. These were proud sons and daughters of heaven, and each and every one of them possessed terrifying backgrounds. Each of them arrived here after a going through their own harrowing adventures as well.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they all led lives of bloodshed. One can imagine how they would respond after being insulted as they were just then.

If they were being looked down by those from the Bo Luo Six Path World, then so be it; that world was the strongest world in every aspect.

Prince Bo Di, the prince of Bo Luo Six Path World was someone personally taught by Realm Monarch Bo Luo; under his guidance, Prince Bo Di cultivated all the techniques from his father and even once entered Zi Wei Celestial Star to recieve the teachings of the Imperial Emperor.

Thus, if they were looked down upon by him, then they had nothing to say about it. But now, they were being looked down by the Qi Practitioners from the weakest Six Path World and this Qi Practitioner was even a human!

Humans occupied the lowliest position in every world, and so being denigrated by one was simply the biggest slap in the face!

“Such big words coming from your mouth, human!” grinned a Qi Practitioner.

Another young man then said, “To have the galls to speak in such way, I assume you are someone strong in your world. Do you mind sharing with us your ranking and which realm you came from in your world?”

Obediently, Zhong Yue replied, “I’m from the Prison Realm and I have no idea as to my rank.”

Everyone burst out laughing and one of them rolled on the ground panted as he said, “Qi Practitioner from the Prison Realm, and a human, not to mention you’re from the lousiest Six Paths World! You are really arrogant!”

Zhong Yue, however, waited for them to finish before saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m not looking down at all of you, I’m merely speaking the truth, you are all really very weak.”

This only fanned the flames of their anger.

“I’m serious,” said Zhong Yue apologetically, “I’m just voicing out my opinion.”

The Qi Practitioners became even more furious and all of them shot sharp glares at him, “Silence, human!”

“Your words are big but I wonder if your strength can hold up the weight of your words!”

Suddenly, one of them failed to hold himself back and just as his killing intent rose, Zhong Yue closed his eyes and completely unleashed his aura. Darkness engulfed the Qi Practitioners around him and after a second, they saw Zhong Yue but this time, he stood before them like a a demon king

One side was just a single entity yet felt like an insurmountable demon king while on the other hand were a bunch of ants that felt hopelessly puny and weak!

Beads of cold sweat rolled down from their forehead and splashed on the floor, but they didn’t dare to move even a finger. They remained frozen on the same spot as the horrendous aura and killing intent locked onto them.

In their psyche ocean, Zhong Yue had morphed into a demon king, indelibly imprinting himself on it.

In a second, the thousands Qi Practitioners around froze on the ground. The scene was eerie as no one made a sound at all.

“Do you know what I’m trying to tell you now?” Zhong Yue’s voice drilled into their minds, shooking them greatly.

No one dared to rebuke him; they were all terrorized by him, feeling like they would be killed if they even dared to move.

Suddenly, the killing intent and the saber presence vanished like a dream. Everyone remained soaked by their sweat, and when they turned to look at Zhong Yue again, he had already left with Ju Ying and the others.

“Monster….” said a lady with the hoarse voice while she was covered in cold sweat.

But Zhong Yue’s shadow continued to haunt them even after he left and whenever his image came into their mind, they would feel devoid of strength and hope!

With his saber untouched, he had already branded himself as an impossible foe in their minds.

Of course, if a fight really broke out, Zhong Yue was definitely not a match against these Qi Practitioners; as if they swarmed him, they could even slaughter a real Heavenly Deity, not to mention just a near-Heavenly Deity Qi Practitioner like him.

However, with everything he gained from the teaching of the many Realm Monarchs, he had reached a level far superior than those out there and in terms world view, even the celestial emperors were not as strong as him!

And everything he had accumulated had allowed him to achieve an understanding towards Dao that far surpassed those of his generation.

With the knowledge, understanding and everything he had gained, an inch difference in strength would bestow him the capability to triumph over his opponents easily!

Besides, his strength was already far beyond their league even before the Realm Monarchs’ teachings.

Ju Ying and the others were all shocked; when Zhong Yue closed his eyes and unleashed his killing intent and saber aura, even when he didn’t target them, they still felt an unstoppable power and made him seem invincible!

This was especially so for Ju Ying who thought that he could at least rival Zhong Yue or perhaps be even slightly stronger than him. Now, with the sudden surge in Zhong Yue’s strength, his remaining confidence was crushed into pieces.

What did Brother Zhong go through that pushed him to such a high level?

Yu Bochuan, Shi Yinji and the others admired him, He is indeed a harbinger of misfortune. With their confidence and heart in his clutches, they’d lost the upper hand and were doomed for the upcoming battle!

This time, their destination was Hall of Martial Perform in heaven court where the Realm Monarch Bo Luo would check on his great army. They were requested to gather there because only a large place was capable of housing such a large number of participants.

“Not bad! Strong saber aura and extraordinary skills!”

Just as Zhong Yue and his companions were about to enter the Hall of Martial Perform, a voice rang out and they saw a young man walking towards them.

The young man glanced across the group before finally stopping at Zhong Yue, “Too bad you’re a little too cold blooded. Don’t you think that what you did was too cruel? You ripped a hole in their hearts, now, all it takes will be just one single tiny mistake to defeat them or even kill them. Are you not afraid of offending the Realm Monarchs?”

Zhong Yue frowned and Ju Ying who was standing on the other side sneered, “They insulted us first when we did nothing. Lord Yue did not even touch them so why are you blaming him?”

The young man looked at him and replied, “They merely said something bad and you destroyed their mind just for that. That is just too cruel. Besides, now that you’ve talked back to me, am I supposed to destroy your heart and mind?”

Upon having saying what he wanted to say, he unleashed his power and locked onto Ju Ying. Everything before Ju Ying was replaced by a Six Paths Reincarnation and the young man walking towards him in the centre. As he drew closer and closer to Ju Ying, his body enlarged and he slowly turned into a nightmare that for Ju Ying.

Ju Ying let out a cry and channeled his energy into his Six Paths Reincarnation but only to remain dwarfed by the young man.

There’s no chance of winning!

Ju Ying was just about to fully unleash the techniques and arts of his ancestors’ heritage to escape his opponent’s shadow, but a saber hummed clearly and the Six Path Reincarnation and the young man in Ju Ying’s eyes shattered instantly.

Then, Ju Ying let out a breath and quickly retreated.

“Not bad,” said the young man as he glanced at Ju Ying before he looking at the saber in Zhong Zue’s hand; it was Zhong Yue that flicked on his saber and created the saber hum that shattered his Qi lock on.

“You destroyed the Dao heart of my junior martial brother and as much as I want to destroy yours, your strength is on the same level as mine, making it difficult for me to defeat you. Hence, I am going to destroy the Dao heart of your nine senior martial brothers and senior martial sisters instead. I wonder if you’d grant me my wish?”

“You will die.” replied Zhong Yue with a eerily calm tone, “You move, you die.”

The young man however, laughed and said, “You really are an arrogant one. The name’s Zhan Tianming. I come from the first Six Path World and I rank second in this world, only a rank lower than the prince, Prince Bo Di.”

“Move and you will die,” said Zhong Yue firmly even after the young man revealed his identity.

The two stared at each other and after some time, the young man smiled and shook his head as he turned around towards Hall of Martial Perform, “Why so serious? It’s not worth it if I hurled everything into the battle just to win against you. Even if I win, I will be injured greatly and that will greatly affect me in the upcoming battle, am I that stupid to you?”

Suddenly, a horrendous presence was unleashed when he turned around again and his presence was directed towards Shi Yinji and the others like an overwhelming tornado.

Zheng—

Zhong Yue’s saber moved and he brushed shoulders with the young man; the haunting presence of shook the Qi Practitioners within Hall of Martial Perform and when they focused their attention on the duo, they saw a hurricane rampage through the surroundings.

Blood dripped down from Zhong Yue’s mouth as he sheathed his saber while the young man turned around and said, “You fell for it….”

His body shook and a saber cut gradually appeared on his forehead before his body fell onto the ground.

Zhong Yue frowned and sighed before Ju Ying and the others walked up towards him while he said, “I’ve fallen for their trap and I might not be able to fight alongside you guys in the battle anymore. You have to be careful.”

Ju Ying, Yu Bochuan and the others were all caught off guard and when they sought an answer from Zhong Yue, he shook his head and said nothing.

At the same time, Realm Monarch Bo Luo grinned and with a clap, an officer got up to him and he ordered, “Go to Hell, have the judges there treat Zhan Tianming’s soul nicely and offer him a chance to reborn as my bloodline and become a prince in his next life.”
