Rise of Humanity

“The optimal Combat Body?”

Everyone’s eyes lit up and they immediately started counting Zhong Yue’s and Tian Xuanzi’s heights so that they could replicate it in the future, which Bo Di shook in disagreement and thought, These are their Combat Bodies, not yours. It will be little use to you even if you imitate them. The optimal size would obviously vary in accordance with the enemy.

He came from the 3,000 Six Paths World and he was a veteran, a Qi Practitioner who stood at the top of the entire Six Paths Worlds. Unlike Dong Ah and the others from Zi Wei Galaxy who had barely any battle experience, Bo Di far surpassed them in terms of experience.

And he was right; after finding the most suitable Combat Body, the battle between Zhong Yue and Tian Xuanzi intensified.

Tian Xuanzi’s power burst; his arts were all Six Paths Reincarnation related. His light wheels spun in an incredible speed and he surrounded and absorbed Zhong Yue right into these dazzling light wheels.

At the next second, these light wheels were ripped apart by Zhong Yue while he visualized a huge furnace and slammed it right onto Tian Xuanzi.

The [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Scripture]!

Thunder and lightning ravaged within the furnace that trapped Tian Xuanzi and the extreme heat brought by the lightning burnt Tian Xuanzi.

After a successful attack, Zhong Yue followed up with his target quickly he circled Tian Xuanzi and the furnace as he flicked his fingers repeatedly and launched energy beams right onto Tian Xuanzi.

Inside the furnace, Tian Xuanzi’s body flinched slightly at Zhong Yue’s strength and he mocked, “It’s not that easy to move my soul! The soul of all Ju Ling Clan’s members are already extraordinarily strong since birth. Our souls were innate spirits and if in Hell, our Ju Ling Clan is the king of Hell, the ruler of gods!”

Zhong Yue had a shock upon hearing this as Tian Xuanzi had even cultivated the innate Yuan Shen just like he did!

No! It’s not a complete innate Yuan Shen! It feels like something is missing.

He immediately noticed the imperfection in Tian Xuanzi’s innate Yuan Shen; unlike his, Tian Xuanzi’s innate Yuan Shen was slightly lacking in terms of soul as it was not completely innate.

However, with his overwhelming powerful soul, Tian Xuan was the strongest among those in the same generation that Zhong Yue had ever seen. His spirit was so strong that he even outclassed Zhong Yue’s Sun and Moon Twin Spirits!

“The lightning has no effect on him! Ju Ling Thunder Roar!”

Thunder roared in Tian Xuanzi’s body; those were the rumbling of innate thunder that was somewhat similar to Zhong Yue’s [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture]. Inside the lightning furnace, the giant opened a path with his brute strength; his punches were extremely heavy and his kicks were just like axes, with his raw power, he splitted the lightning furnace apart and broke himself free.

As soon as he got out, he was welcomed with a hammer and an axe picked up by Zhong Yue; the axe hacked onto Tian Xuanzi’s head and the hammer slammed onto his nose.

Tian Xuanzi grunted in pain and tears fell from his eyes while his head swelled. The giant was furious but it did not stop Zhong Yue from attacking; a demonic sword and the massive fan was picked up with the demonic sword slashed towards Tian Xuanzi’s neck while the massive fan fanned out waves of fiery demonic flame.

But no harm was done as the demonic sword shattered and the flame did nothing.

Zhong Yue threw the fan away and he then hurled a huge cauldron onto Tian Xuanzi’s head, which also shattered when came into contact with his head.

Previously, Zhong Yue froze the many countless divine and demonic weapons with his Yuan Shen and after the Imperial Granary was sealed, these weapons scattered everywhere on the ground.

Now, with no one able to retrieve their weapons, these weapons were completely at Zhong Yue’s disposal and whatever he picked up, he hurled them at Tian Xuanzi. These weapons were weapons forged by the gods and heavenly gods from Combat Body and even being controlled by their masters, it was impossible for them to injure Tian Xuanzi at all.

But just how strong was Zhong Yue?

He did not bother activating the power in these weapons but instead, he slammed them onto Tian Xuanzi with raw strength and they were still stronger than when they were in the hands of their real masters.

Meanwhile, after having more than twenty divine weapons smacked into his face, Tian Xuanzi began to feel dizzy and he retaliated by hurling weapons back at Zhong Yue.

Within just a minute, the many divine and demonic weapons that were scattered all over had disappeared as they were all shattered by their immense strength.

Upon seeing the weapons being hurled at them and shattering into dust, the gods from Combat Body felt immense heartache; these two guys were just way too powerful. After being attacked with so many weapons, they did not suffer any significant injuries, but the weapons were all destroyed.

Now, Tian Xuan and Zhong Yue were both covered in bruises and their head swelled. Tian Xuanzi grabbed onto a warehouse and after spinning around, he slammed the warehouse onto Zhong Yue and sent him flying away.

Before Zhong Yue landed onto the ground, the giant leapt into the air, grabbed onto one after another warehouses and smacked them all strongly onto Zhong Yue like a furious gorilla.

The earth trembled and huge holes appeared on the ground; the giant slammed the warehouses like a hammer onto Zhong Yue brutally and the eyes of the observers standing around twitched upon seeing this.

All of a sudden, two massive hands reached out from the hole and grabbed onto the warehouse that Tian Xuanzi was holding onto firmly. He swing it up and threw the warehouse away. As Tian Xuanzi threw the warehouse, he knew things were not going to be good and he immediately let go and flew backwards.

But it was already too late, the warehouse stuck closely behind him and finally rammed into his chest, sending him flying away.

Just as he stood up and regained his balance, he caught a glimpse of Zhong Yue who came charging at him with a warehouse in both hands and slammed them all onto him.

Krong—

The observers around felt painful even for Tian Xuanzi but even so, Tian Xuanzi did not suffer any injuries as he only swelled a little.

But after being continuously beaten up by Zhong Yue like that, Tian Xuanzi did not last long and after risking injury, he squeezed Zhong Yue away and jumped out of Zhong Yue’s reach.

As he landed, Tian Xuanzi picked up two warehouses and with swollen eyes, he stared at Zhong Yue angrily and shouted, “I will kill you!”

“Bring it on!” shouted back Zhong Yue fiercely with eyes that could no longer be seen just like Tian Xuanzi’s due to the swell.

The two clashed together again and this time, they exchanged blows as if they no longer wished to live.

A Deity Emperor then complained unhappily, “These two fools! How are they still so strong and fast after holding the warehouses as heavy as the moon in each hands? The skills they hurled onto each other did not scratch them at all! I reckon not even the Zhong Li Celestial Race possesses such strong bodies….”

“Zhong Li’s Martial Divine Masters will only be beaten to death by them.”

Another Deity Emperor rebutted, “Skills are barely anything to their body as they can’t even harm their body.”

The many Deity Emperors nodded in agreement; the duo’s body was just immensely powerful as not even innate skills managed to breach through their defenses. Only through brute strength would they be able to kill each other but their strength was on par with each other!

After battling each other fiercely for about ten days, they were both exhausted and it was at this time that Tian Xuanzi suddenly hurled out a massive bell. As soon as this massive bell was taken out, roaring thunder rumbled in the skies before it struck onto Zhong Yue and sent him flying.

With the Innate Lightning Bell in his hands, Tian Xuanzi charged towards Zhong Yue, which rosed the unsastification in Zhong Yue who then shouted, “Halt! You have a divine weapon and I don’t. This is not fair!”

Tian Xuanzi stopped his advancement right away and he sneered, “Then bring yours!”

“You wait!”

With his energy channeled, the shattered divine weapons lying on the ground flew up before scorching innate divine fire melted the shattered pieces and turned into a furnace.

Zhong Yue then slapped out skills right into the lightning furnace and the many gods around were speechless. Zhong Yue was forging something right on the spot and the materials he used was their divine weapons but they couldn’t even do anything!

Tian Xuanzi on the other hand, grew impatient and he shouted, “Are you done!”

“Give me a few more days and be patient! I will crush you after I finish forging my weapon!”

Zhong Yue continued pumping energy into [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture]; he channeled his innate thunder Qi into the lightning furnace, which was his body where Yuan Shen provided tremendous power to it like a blazing sun. However, his body was definitely not something that should be forged into a weapon, thus, he needed to forge a weapon to stand against Tian Xuanzi’s Innate Lightning Bell.

He had three divine weapons of his own; the Solar Divine Saber, Metamagnet Divine Saber and the Innate Divine Saber but they brought out so easily unless he wanted his identity to be exposed.

The [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture], however, had never been used by his old self, and after Xin Huo became bound to his soul, he managed to obtain the quintessences of the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture].

The [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] was an art created by the third Sui Sovereign in the Fire Order Era and the chances of it being recognized by someone was very slim. No one would suspect that he was a Fuxi even if they did recognize the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture].

“Are you done yet?” urged Tian Xuanzi whose wounds on his face recovered gradually.

“A few more days!” replied Zhong Yue who was still infusing the power of [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] into the Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace said without even raising his head, “When my divine furnace is completed, I will guarantee you that it’ll be quick as a token of appreciation for such a decent fight! My divine furnace is created to tackle your Innate Lightning Bell.”

Days passed and the power of Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace grew stronger. Tian Xuanzi was eager to test the strength of the Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace but he managed to keep his cool as he waited patiently for Zhong Yue to finish his forging.

This divine weapon seems to be able to swallow and absorb Heaven Lightning and it proves to be dangerous to my bell.

After seeing Zhong Yue feeding a seemingly endless amount of lightning to the Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace, Tian Xuanzi began to feel uneasy as it quickly became clear that whatever Zhong Yue was forging was specifically designed to counter his bell!

Seems like I can only win against him through my bloodline power. But I’ll be taking advantage of him in that way because humans have no high tier bloodline.

Tian Xuanzi hesitated; as one of the eight sovereign clans, the Ju Ling Clan possessed bloodline power no any weaker than a Fuxi. As a pure blood member of the Ju Ling Clan, if he fought Zhong Yue with the Juling True Form, he believed that he would be able to quickly deal with Zhong Yue.

But he did not wish this to happen as it would result in an unfair fight.

Meanwhile, Zhong Yue’s Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace was already reaching completion but at this time, a voice came from outside of the sacred ground, “Dear friends from the Zhu Shi Celestial Race, are my fellow junior martial brothers here? I am here to bring them back under Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s order.”

Bo Di and the others all heaved huge sighs of relief upon hearing the welcome voice and they all shouted, “Senior Martial Brother Bi Yuan, we’re here!”

Zhong Yue also let out a relieved breath and after keeping Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace away. He stood up and said, “Tian Xuanzi, I need to go back as well. Let us fight again next time!”

Tian Xuanzi put up an angry face and said, “The winner has yet to be decided, how can we stop here?”

“Then I surrender.” said Zhong Yue without hesitation.

“What did you say?” shouted the angered Tian Xuanzi and he walked out from the arena before sitting back at the side of Royal Prince Wen Chang. He then said, “I did not disappoint you all, I’ve won against him and revenged your highness and the many brothers from Zhu Shi Celestial Race.”

Royal Prince Wen Chang gritted silently but it did not stop him from rebutting, “He said he let you win, this isn’t a win!”

“I still win, doesn’t matter!” replied Tian Xuanzi carefreely, “You will have to remember the help I provided today and you all owe me for this. Remember to pay me back in the future!”

This shameless bastard!

As they spoke, a young man entered the sacred land Imperial Granary and greeted, “I am Xian Tian Palace’s Bi Yuan, disciple of Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. Greetings, dear elders and seniors. Bo Di, Dong Ah, come here. Teacher is worried about you after not hearing anything from you guys so he sent me here to get you back.”
