Rise of Humanity
chapter-1035

The fire spirits were born from the worship of the Fire Order Era. They were formed from fire Daos and the power of worship; if it were the usual times, they would be able to grant Zhong Yue the power of a monarch, but now, instead of helping, they added oil to the fire, making the situation even more dire!

Xin Huo flew out decisively, diving into Yi Wanjun’s forehead who was still cultivating and shouted, “Little girl Yi, wake up!”

Yi Wanjun woke up right away and she immediately grabbed towards the trio upon realizing the abnormalities, only to be stopped by Xin Huo, “Do not touch them! How much of the [Daoless Heaven] do you know now?”

Yi Wanjun moved her hands away and with little confidence, she murmured, “Not much….”

But Xin Huo was still enlightened to hear this, he shouted, “Use your [Daoless Heaven] to beat the Drum of Dusk! You can still temporarily stop the conversion and separate them right away!”

Without hesitation, Yi Wanjun did as Xin Huo said. The drumbeat caused the lights to fade and she immediately reached the trio, trying to split them apart before the lights come back on.

But just when she touched Shi Yinji and Hundun Yu, the lights merged again and she followed the footsteps of Shi Yinji and Hundun Yu, she was stunned at the same spot and started to assimilate.

“We are doomed!”

The little flame hugged himself and the fire on his head twisted, “This girl is also done for! We are all dead!”

But just as the lights temporarily got shattered, no one noticed the slight tremble in Zhong Yue and rumbles that came from his forehead as a saber appeared out of nowhere.

Bit by bit, the saber struggled, but wherever it passed, the lights vanished.

[Dao Crusher]!

An awestruck Xin Huo landed on Zhong Yue’s head and he was in extreme shock at this scene; as the Dao light intensified, Zhong Yue was already in an irreversible state of being converted, but at the last second, he managed to pull himself together and performed the [Dao Crusher] to stop himself from passing the point of no return!

The lights shattered and along with their shattering, Zhong Yue’s [Dao Crusher] divine saber became even more lively and complex, preventing the heaven and earth Daos from connecting back again!

His [Dao Crusher] divine saber experienced a hike like never before, becoming far more profound and powerful than it was when beheading the monarch level Feng Zhen.

But there were four of them being converted, the four Cataclysmic Realms synced and there were also the fire spirits, which all increased the difficulty of [Dao Crusher] of stopping the Dao Assimilation.

Their bodies turned transparent and even Xin Huo was showing signs of being converted!

Xin Huo now was Zhong Yue’s spirit and if Zhong Yue was converted, so would Xin Huo.

Zhong Yue’s body trembled vigorously as he pushed himself to the limit just to move the [Dao Crusher] divine saber, the [Innate Eight Trigrams] emerged around him, and the Innate Tai Yang Dao, Innate Shao Yang Dao, Innate Tai Yin Dao, Innate Shao Yin Dao, Innate Celestial Dao, Innate Demon Dao, Innate Lightning Dao, Space Dao, Time Dao, Innate Yi Dao, and the 11th Dao, the Innate Divine Fire Dao, all showed up.

The Innate Divine Fire Dao was the only monarch level Dao in him for it was formed from all the Sui Sovereign’s remaining Daos back in the ancient continent.

The 11 innate Daos flew into [Dao Crusher] and fortified the divine saber and boosted its power!

Zheng zheng zheng—

The frequency of Daos shattering increased drastically and the Daos conversion speed slowed down. Without a sign, the saber moved quickly and circled around the four. With a final swing, the lights formed from Daos were all shattered!

Pu tong pu tong—

The four of them slammed onto the deck and simply lay there without moving a finger.

The ancient ship floated in midair while the sunlight in Ancestral Court shined past the transparent body and Yuan Shen of the four of them, giving off an unrealistic vibe.

Their body and Yuan Shen were on the brink of being converted and now, they were all left weakened by the after effect.

The spiritual power of the heaven and earth slowly flowed into them and bit by bit, the transparency in them slowly faded.

After some time, Shi Yinji sat back up, shook her head, then Yi Wanjun and Hundun Yu gradually woke up, the last being Zhong Yue.

The four of them sat on the deck, looking at each other with fear lingering on their face and heart.

Suddenly, giggling came from Shi Yinji and Yi Wanjun also burst out smiling, “What are you laughing at?”

“We’re still alive! Of course we have to be happy!”

Shi Yinji smiled, “Besides, I am now a Deity Overlord! I’ve leapfrogged two whole realms!”

Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu also laughed; this encounter was one of unprecedented danger for them. When Zhong Yue entered the Ancestral Court, he resonated with the heaven and earth Daos in this place with his monarch level mentality. The other three were dragged into this mess by him and they were almost converted into Daos.

But it was because of this crisis that they reaped incredible benefits. Through this crisis, they obtained a deeper understanding towards Daos, which would benefit them for life. They even entered the Deity Overlord level, saving them years of effort!

The most important thing of all was that when they touched Zhong Yue, they had a glimpse on the monarch level mentality, experiencing the same immersion he did, and that allowed them to make quantum leaps in their own mentalities!

Though they were still not at the monarch level mentality, this would directly draw out the potential in their mind and talent!

Meanwhile, Xin Huo said with a heart still beating quick, “Zhong Yue, in this place, your sensitivity towards the heaven and earth’s Daos is much scarier than the Innate Saint Spirit Body, you have to be careful, the fire spirits and I were almost converted into Dao because of you!”

Right away, Zhong Yue’s psyche dwelled into his Yuan Shen, finding the weakened fire spirits; the Dao conversion depleted large sum of energy in them and at this moment, these fire spirits were absorbing fire elemental energy from this place; flares from the heaven and earth kept on flying into Zhong Yue’s forehead and into the fire spirits during the process.

At this rate, it would take years before the fire spirits recovered to their peak form.

Without a solid body, cultivation on any arts and techniques was impossible and that was also the reason why their recovery was slower than Zhong Yue and the others.

“That was really dangerous.”

With that said, Zhong Yue stood up and looked towards the Ancestral Court. This place was covered in lush green, everywhere was filled with condensed life essence and wherever his vision included, he saw clouds, mountains, rivers, waterfalls, herbs, and many other life forms, all formed from spiritual power. Prosperous lands and sacred grounds were also abundant in this place!

The Daos in this place were also enormous, though this was not a secret realm birthed from Daos, meaning that it was weaker than the Leizhe and Huaxu’s innate sacred ground. This place was also about the same. The most crucial aspect was that the heaven and earth’s Daos here were completed, every Dao in the universe can all be found here!

From afar, the Daos were visible, falling down from the skies like waterfall, like a bridge linking mountains to mountains and like stars shining bright in the skies!

Compared to the Ancestral Court, Leizhe and Huaxu’s innate sacred ground had only one Dao. Though pure, they lacked other Daos because of how pure they were, hence, they usually only enabled someone to cultivate only a single Dao, just like how someone in the Leizhe’s sacred ground could only cultivate the innate lightning Dao.

But this place was different, as the Yanzi Clan and the Fuxi Celestial Race’s Ancestral Court had completed Daos, allowing the two races’ disciples to have full access to all Daos.

Apart from this, they also saw huge stone tablets floating in the skies and gigantic statues that stood so tall that their tops reached deep into the skies.

These were all the statues of the many almighty Sui Sovereigns and powerful Fuxi Celestial Race.

Layers of seals to protect against any outsiders were everywhere, and when Zhong Yue opened his divine third eye, he frowned upon discovering the massive number of seals in this place. With his current eye power, there was no way to tell how powerful these seals were and if they would attack him.

“Xin Huo, come!”

Xin Huo immediately took over this body and said softly, “Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils!”

His divine eye shined upon the seals and had an eagle eye over these seals; in an instant, the seemingly peaceful Ancestral Court shown its hidden fangs, the dimensions in Ancestral Court turned into endless complicated networks that seeped deep into every corners and dangers lurked everywhere!

“Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve last come here, why are there so many seals suddenly?”

Xin Huo had a scare and he said, “Fuxi Celestial Race’s bloodline will not be enough to pass this place, not even a monarch… This is way too dangerous! Dao Venerate Fu Min turned this place into a meat grinder that could kill even a monarch! He turned this place into the most dangerous place in the world! Whoever enters recklessly will be dead for sure! This is a dead end!”

“Dead end?”

Zhong Yue frowned slightly, Did Dao Venerate Fu Min know that there will be Fuxi that betrayed their own people so he had these seals to attack anyone in sight?

Xin Huo then pointed towards the center of Ancestral Court and said, “There, over there, do you see that empty land there?”

Zhong Yue looked towards the center and he saw a massive abyss that had no end, not even an entire solar galaxy could fill up that hole.

“That is where the Ancestral Court is, all the seals are set up to protect it! I’m guessing that the Dao Venerate Fu Min turned the center into the safest place protected by this most threatening array in the universe. Everything about the ancient monarchs’ understanding towards the seventh secret realm is definitely hidden there!”

Xin Huo looked around and that, “The only safe way out is through passing the abyss. Nowhere is safe apart from the abyss itself, this is all Dao Venerate Fu Min’s arrangements. The path towards the abyss is definitely a test, pass it and you shall obtain his heritage, fail and you shall die!”

Zhong Yue got all hyped up and he asked, “So how dangerous exactly is this danger you speak off?”

Xin Huo took a good look at the path and after thinking for some time, he said, “I don’t see any danger in it… Strange, how could there be such a deceptively safe passage?”

“A path without any danger?”

A cold crawled down Zhong Yue’s spine and he shouted, “The most dangerous path is the path that seems the most unassuming! By the way, why did the Evil Monarch, Demon Monarch, Celestial Monarch, Dark Monarch, Origin Lord Feng Tian, and Primordial Crow Deity King send their disciples here? Don’t they know there is no way their disciples could pass Dao Venerate Fu Min’s seals? Sending them here is akin to sending them to hell, aren’t they afraid at all? Hmmm, are they afraid that the seals here are specifically for them so they sent their disciples here first?”

Zhong Yue shivered suddenly, “Which means that Mo Yuanshu, Shen Qiushan, and the others are here because they are responsible for mine sweeping? Which also means that these Deity Kings are also here and probably already in the Ancestral Court!”
