Rise of Humanity

Long Zhi’s tails pulled backwards, just like pythons wrapped around their prey, her tails almost crushed Zhong Yue’s organs. Zhong Yue immediately swung his sabers but before his sabers reached their target, Long Zhi roared with her nine heads, stunning Zhong Yue with the soundwaves, causing him to fall from the skies.

This time, they fell right to the Light Water Bottle’s bottle mouth with Long Zhi landing first. She was caught off guard by what happened next; as she fell, she mindlessly tried to grab onto something but to no avail. The bottleneck had nothing to be grab onto. Even with a cultivation of a peak Imperial Emperor, her limbs couldn’t hold onto anything and she slowly slid to the bottom of the bottle.

Zhong Yue, on the other hand, was also sliding downward with Long Zhi’s deadweight. He quickly stabbed his sabers onto the bottle wall. With the innate sabers made of Innate Yi Dao and after being nurtured with Fu Shang’s innate Dao Qi, the sabers were now Imperial Emperor level weapons. But even so, the sabers only managed to stab a mere two inches deep into the bottle wall.

Meanwhile, Long Zhi shortened her tails, approaching Zhong Yue quickly. Zhong Yue flapped his wings as he swung the sabers downwards. In mid-air, Long Zhi had nowhere to dodge the attack. She took on Zhong Yue’s attack entirely with her face but not before she retaliated by crushing Zhong Yue even more with her tails.

“Stop your foolishness or we will both die!”

Zhong Yue shouted, “Just come up, I promise I will not do anything!”

Long Zhi lowered her head and looked towards the bottom where the Innate Kan Water made from Kan Barren Dao rippled and reflected the alluring and endless stars in the bottle.

However, the more beautiful the scene was, the more dangerous it became; things would definitely go sideways if someone fell into the water.

Long Zhi’s heart tightened upon seeing this and she immediately shouted, “Okay, as long as you don’t go back on your word….”

Suddenly, Zhong Yue pulled out his sabers and slashed towards Long Zhi as she was slowly moving closer to him.

Saber flashed across Long Zhi’s eyes and with that, her tails were severed, caused her to shriek in pain while she fell towards the bottom with Zhong Yue. Halfway through falling, Zhong Yue stabbed his sabers back into the walls, stopping his fall.

Long Zhi, on the other hand, slammed her limbs onto the wall and with screeching noise, her claws shattered. Without being able to stop herself from falling, she continued to fall downwards.

The wall was just way too slippery and there was nothing that she could hold onto!

“Brat Yi, how dare you!”

Long Zhi tried casting a technique, only to have her energy disrupted, her totem Dao disintegrated and she continued falling.

Even so, this lady was still very impressive; upon being disrupted by the chaotic Dao, she came back to her senses quickly and realized that using any Dao was prohibited. When she almost fell into Innate Kan Water, she hurled out a warship into the water before she landed and panted heavily on the ship.

Ge ge zhi zhi—

In just a few seconds, the ship lost balance and slanted towards the side. A shiver crept down onto Long Zhi’s spine as this ship was an Imperial Emperor level item she created using top tier materials and her Dao, yet, it was still being melted by the Innate Kan Water!

Apart from the top tier materials that were being melted by Innate Kan Water, her Dao was also being disintegrated by the water!

In no time, half of the ship was already gone and fear consumed Long Zhi as the water quickly swallowed the deck. She was left with no choice but to climb onto the ship’s mast that was also slowly being melted.

The lady looked hatefully toward the top, where Zhong Yue flapped his wings, flying towards the outside after removing his sabers from the wall.

With the mast finally melted, Long Zhi made a brave decision; she stabbed one of her tail right into the water, which quickly melted. The pain caused Long Zhi to twist and contort right away. In just a few seconds, that particular tail was almost gone and she stabbed another tail of hers into the water again, lifting her up as even more pain engulfed her, causing her to swear in her heart.

Damn you! I will guarantee you will die tragically one day if I manage to catch you!

Her thoughts were irrelevant to Zhong Yue as the young man flew out from the bottle, only to be shrouded with shadows when the other female Imperial Emperor lunged towards him.

Zhong Yue evaded her attack and the leopard-tattooed female Imperial Emperor fell into the bottle but not before she launched her tail towards the bottleneck to stop her fall.

Then, with her tail acting as a hook, she charged towards Zhong Yue swiftly.

Within the bottle, Long Zhi shouted, “Nu Fang, forget about him and get me out! I can’t hold it any longer!”

The leopard-tattooed female Imperial Emperor however, smiled and said, “Third sister, be patient! Let me kill him and take take the herbs. Only then will I come for you!”

Her reply angered Long Zhi greatly and had her shouted, “What? I thought we were intimate Daoists!”

Nu Fang rained down a shower of attacks towards Zhong Yue on the other hand; her tail shrunk and extended from time to time, allowing her to close in and back off from Zhong Yue freely and she shouted back, “Whatever, as long as I am safe!”

Long Zhi, who was trapped in the bottle, then began to curse angrily.

At the same time, Zhong Yue tried his best to defend against Nu Fang but with her incredible speed, she still easily outperformed Zhong Yue even though she could not use her techniques.

Clearly, the female Imperial Emperor had identified his weakness where after utilizing the Stone Sentinel Maze to gather the gods’ strength to be used at his expense, Zhong Yue needed more time to channel the power into his attacks because the power was not his own power.

With her rich experience, Nu Fang held tightly onto this weakness and attacked Zhong Yue with extreme speed, which prevented him from shaking her off his tail.

Peng peng peng—

She landed a few hundred hits on Zhong Yue, sent him flying onto one of the finger bones. However, though her attacks were swift, her strength was not as strong as the bird body celestial being and Long Zhi but even so, with that many hits, Zhong Yue’s body and Yuan Shen were both gravely wounded.

Nu Fang jumped down from the bottle and continued her combos as she laughed, “Mister Yi, you are indeed impressive, no wonder you are the Mister! Shame, you are strong but you do not know your manners! How dare you offend your elders and steal the herb. Now, you will reap what you sow! Die!”

Zhong Yue charged at her again, suffered another barrage of combos and with blood gushing out from his mouth, he took out the Six Paths Bead and stuffed his head into it and stared right at the little pearl on the neck.

Nu Fang was surprised and confused by this move, making her stop attacking aggressively.

At the same time, Zhong Yue’s head appeared within the bead covered in blood and shouted, “Crown Prince, I’ve been beaten up!”

“And? You know I won’t go out!”

“I’m not asking for your help, throw me two of the time fragments!”

He then pulled his head out from the bead and right away, he was welcomed by a blow from Nu Fang who saw no threat coming from Zhong Yue. Her blow sent Zhong Yue flying away and the young man slammed into the ground far beneath them.

At the same time, the “second” who finally arrived at the skeleton arm saw Zhong Yue falling down from the top and Nu Fang leaping down toward him!

But just before her attacks reached Zhong Yue, a dimension fragment with colorful sceneries printed on it appeared right in front of Zhong Yue. To Nu Fang’s surprise, her hands reached right into the fragment since there was barely any time for her to react.

But she was not slow to react at all. Her leopard tail extended without a sign, wrapping around the Eight Barrens Deity King’s finger bone. She then regained her balance but half of her head was already into the fragment.

She quickly shrunk her tail and pulled herself up.

Right now, her hands were gone and so was the part of her head above the mouth. She, however, was still alive for the dimensional fragment merely warped her body parts into another dimension but in reality, her body parts were still attached to her.

As such, Nu Fang was not able to see anything and Zhong Yue took advantage of this. He immediately attacked Nu Fang who was in mid-air and though rendered blinded, the female Imperial Emperor still sensed the imminent danger. She quickly controlled her tail to let go and she evaded the attack in split second.

Zhong Yue then launched a combo kick, slamming right onto her chest and breaking her rib cage, sending her flying away.

The lady immediately cut her arms away, allowing them to regenerate and severed her head in order to grow a new one. As she pulled all of this off without hesitation, blood gushed everywhere and she immediately charged towards the Eight Barrens Deity King’s skeleton in rage.

At the same time, the bird body celestial being’s wings were already grown again. He flapped his wings and descended behind Zhong Yue.

In front of Zhong Yue and beneath the Light Water Bottle, “second brother” Tai Feng was standing there.

“Help me! Second brother, save me!”

Then came Long Zhi’s shrieking from the bottle.

Divine light shrouded Tai Feng and the light was directed right into the bottle. With a simple drag, the light pulled Long Zhi out and returned back to its master. However, after saving Long Zhi, Tai Feng stood there and shown no signs of moving; he showed no interest in the Light Water Bottle and ignored Zhong Yue completely as all he did was look toward somewhere far away with an empty mind.

“Brother, let’s kill him!” Long Zhi said furiously.

Zhong Yue’s heart thumped but that did not stop the pursuit of the Imperial Emperors; behind him, Nu Fang climbed swiftly and arrived at the bone where Zhong Yue stood, forming an encirclement with the bird body celestial being with them cutting off Zhong Yue’s path from the front and back.

“Second brother?”

Nu Fang screamed, “What are you doing? Let’s kill him together!”

Tai Feng, however, remained empty-minded as he looked away, which confused the others, causing them to look towards the same direction he was looking at and they were all stunned by what came into their vision.

Zhong Yue was also confused and when he looked towards that exact same direction, he couldn’t help but tremble.

There was a massive altar at that direction and aside from Eight Barren Deity King’s skeleton, there were countless gigantic Dao skeletons around the altar, which were all strange looking yet majestic.

Those were the Dark Age’s Deity Kings’ Dao skeleton; among them were the innate Deity Kings that controlled dimension, time, elements, wind, darkness and other powerful attributes.

These Deity Kings all had their weapon forged from their own Dao armed in their hands but they were all killed in this place!

At the center of the altar, there was an even more gigantic Dao skeleton half kneeling on the ground. One of his knees was on the ground and his arms were raised above his head as if he were shouldering something.

He was just way too huge; Imperial Emperors were already one of the strongest existence in the world but before this Dao skeleton, they were nothing more than just ants.

This Dao skeleton was trying to forge a new universe, open up a whole new world with his relentless power but after his attempt ended in ultimate failure, the heaven and earth’s weight descended onto his shoulders. As such, he lost his life here.

The Heaven Suppression Palace was the place where a new ground was created but also the place where the new grond was destroyed. It was also the exact same place where the strongest ruler in the Dark Age attempted to open a new ground and passed away!

However, what appeared before them clearly suggested that they did not die a normal way!
