Rise of Humanity
chapter-1058

Gui Youmin hesitated and was a little reluctant after Old Man Xuan and Qi’s weapons were defeated three times in a row, causing the death of a Deity Emperor, Creator and Imperial Emperor; if this continued, how would they continue the war without generals?

“Left Prime Minister, we have to send someone out no matter what.”

Lou Zhengshi approached Gui Youmin and whispered, “Old Man Xuan and Qi struck a deal with King Yi, if they lost, they will surrender to King Yi and if that happens….”

Meanwhile, another challenger from the fortress approached, forcing Gui Youmin no choice but to send another divine general out.

Old Man Xuan and Qi were also very tense, they picked out a weapon from the weapon stack, handed it over to the general and taught him how to use the weapon personally, only to see him descend to his death after a few exchanges.

“Anyone interested in challenging them now?” smiled Zhong Yue.

“I’ll go!”

“Me!”

The many divine generals shouted right away.

Back in the army camps right opposite of the river, Gui Youmin’s eyes twitched as he looked at the nervous Old Man Xuan and Qi.

A Creator smirked, “Seniors, perhaps these are all your doings instead of King Yi? Every one of us heard that you have a tiny little secret with King Yi!”

Old Man Xuan and Qi were angered by this statement, but when they looked around, they saw Lou Zhengshi, Ting Daoji and the others doubtfully staring at them.

“If you don’t trust us, fine, we’ll be taking our leave right now!”

Old Man Xuan and Qi smirked, “We’re master blacksmiths for the Heavenly Monarch family, not here to be doubted and treated as traitors!”

The two old men started packing right away and just as they were about to leave, Gui Youmin politely halted them, “Senior martial brothers, please, we still need you.”

Old Man Xuan and Qi were enraged right away and they shouted, “What now? Are you trying to put us under arrest now?”

Mo Yin quickly approached them and said, “Prime Minister, I know what kind of way Mister Yi is using to defeat Old Man Xuan and Qi’s weapons. They are not to be blamed, it’s just that our opponent is too slippery!’

Gui Youmin smirked, “You again! Hmm? Tell me, what kind of method is Mister Yi using? If you can’t answer my question, I will execute you! I won’t let you spread any false information around in the camp that will affect our morale!”

Mo Yin bowed, “A few days ago, King Yi and Old Man Xuan and Qi were exchanging ideas on cultivation. We helped them keep the furnace burning so he must have a clear view of how Old Man Xuan and Qi smithed, allowing him to understand what their weapons did. After all, the weapons Old Man Xuan and Qi forged were all placed right before his eyes.”

He continued, “My guess is that after fully understanding these weapons’ ability, King Yi forged his own weapons that countered them. He then had his men defeat our generals with the weapons he forged! Prime Minister, I’ve warned you about this but you insisted on your decision, hence, three of our generals lost their life just like that.”

Gui Youmin was angered by Mo Yin’s comment but remained silent. He stared at Mo Yin coldly while Mo Yin bowed even lower.

Suddenly, a smiled appeared on Gui Youmin’s face, “What do you suggest then, Mister Mo.”

Mo Yin tried to stand back up hearing Gui Youmin’s question, but an invisible force pressed him down, forcing him to remain bowing at Gui Youmin as he said, “Old Man Xuan and Qi should be forging new weapons, weapons that Mister Yi did not see before, in that way, he would have no way of countering Old Man Xuan and Qi’s newly forged weapons. This is one point, the second one is that we will act first by sending someone into the field instead of waiting for King Yi to handpick his own challengers. With that, I’m sure we can defeat King Yi’s generals and that Old Man Xuan and Qi will not lose in the bet with King Yi.”

Lou Zhengshi and the others started going through with the possibilities of Mo Yin’s suggestion. After getting a hold of what Mo Yin meant, they immediately agreed with him, “Mister Mo is right! Mister Yi indeed saw everything, from the start to the end when Old Man Xuan and Qi forged their weapons. Mister Mo’s suggestion may just be our way out of this continuous defeat!”

Seeing everyone agreeing to Mo Yin’s idea, Gui Youmin was forced into accepting this, “If we still lost using your method, you will be punished for this! Men! Hold your positions and wait for new orders! Senior martial brothers, please, we’ll need more weapons, new ones.”

Right away, the Heaven Court’s army remained at their position, unaffected by the Heavenly Suppression Fortress’ army while Old Man Xuan and Qi continued smithing, doing their best to forge a weapon that could bring them victory!

On the fortress’ wall, Zhong Yue’s heart beat quickly for a few beats and gotten all tense up upon realizing what was happening.

Mo Yin has indeed seen through my tactics. Old Man Xuan and Qi are starting to forge new weapons for Gui Youmin’s divine generals and they will be selecting who to challenge later! If I dare not accept their challenge, then I will lose the bet….

Zhong Yue’s expression became unstable; after accompanying them in weapon forging for ten days, Zhong Yue had observed every secret in their smithing arts. Thus, he was able to devise ways that could entirely counter these weapons. With the addition of innate Yi Dao’s flexibility and endless transformation, Gui Youmin’s generals were just seeking death whenever they challenge his generals.

But now, Old Man Xuan and Qi were about to forge new weapons and he did not have the chance to get closer, denying every chance for him to identify the flaws within these weapons; Mo Yin had foiled Zhong Yue’s tactic!

“Men! Whoever’s weapon is forged by Old Man Xuan and Qi, stand out!”

Zhong Yue shouted his order while he started listening to [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation], attempting to figure something out from [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation] to seek a way to defeat it.

This was the dumbest idea with the lowest success rate, but with Zhong Yue’s terrifying calculating ability, he would be able to salvage something. This way, he would not be able to guarantee a win.

Just as Zhong Yue was listening closely to [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation], a familiar voice entered his mind, “Junior martial brother, it’s my turn now. They are forging a weapon that targets me.”

Zhong Yue dozed off for a second but he became energized again upon hearing this. He burst out laughing, “Old Man Xuan and Qi are really looking for their own deaths!”

He stopped trying to interpret [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation] and stood there as Old Man Xuan and Qi completed their divine weapon.

After some time, Old Man Xuan and Qi were finally done forging the weapon. They let out a sigh and smiled, “There will be nothing wrong with the weapon we forged this time! You have our words!”

The merely half-convinced Gui Youmin asked, “The weapon you forged will be countering who among them?”

Old Man Xuan and Qi pointed right towards Zhong Yue and said, “That middle-aged man in white standing beside King Yi!”

Gui Youmin looked towards the man in a white robe and his heart tightened for a second. He had no idea who this man was, nor what kind of race he came from or how strong he was. Back in the war, Gui Youmin personally headed out to strike him down but to no avail!

Gui Youmin quickly asked his men, “Who is that man? What level is he?”

Everyone looked at each other with empty minds and they shook their heads. Nan Luo Army’s commander said, “I fought with him for a few exchanges in the war back then, his level is very weird, in a second, he felt just like an Imperial Emperor, and at the next second, he gives off the vibe of a Creator but he turned into a Deity Emperor in the other second….”

Ting Daoji added, “Same here!”

Southern Heaven Gate’s Demon Heavenly King replied, “Come to think of it, I fought with him and I have no idea as to his level!”

Southern Heaven Gate’s Celestial Heavenly King too, exclaimed “Me too! I have no clue at all!”

…..

Gui Youmin had a scare after learning that most of his generals said that they fought with this mysterious middle-aged man and that this man was still alive! This was utterly strange!

Who is he? Why can’t I identify his level?

A frown appeared on Gui Youmin’s face; from the information he obtained from his generals, this middle-aged man was probably in between a Creator and Imperial Emperor with mysterious attack patterns that allowed him to escape from a peak Imperial Emperor and even withstand their attacks.

“If that were the case, then we will have to have Innate Heavenly King out to challenge them!’

Gui Youmin looked at Innate Heavenly King of the Southern Heaven Gate’s four Heavenly King and said, “With Innate Heavenly King and the addition of Old Man Xuan and Qi’s weapon, we will definitely be able to strike him down! Even if we can’t kill him, Innate Heavenly King will still be able to retreat safe and sound!”

The generals nodded; Innate Heavenly King may be only a Creator but he was an innate god bestowed with tremendous power. He was no weaker than the other Heavenly Emperors.

Innate Heavenly King collected the weapon from Old Man Xuan and Qi. He led an army out from the camp and by himself, he rode forward and shouted, “King Yi, I wish to challenge the man in white standing beside you! Are you going to accept my challenge?”

With a smile, Zhong Yue turned around, “Senior martial brother, he wishes to challenge you, are you not going to accept the challenge?”

Feng Xiaozhong, on the other hand, didn’t say a word as he walked down the wall and headed straight towards Innate Heavenly King.

Old Man Xuan and Qi were both extremely nervous as their vision followed Innate Heavenly King and Feng Xiaozhong closely as their fates were closely related to this battle. They were unable to stay calm.

Innate Heavenly King maintained a cold expression, six light wheels shone brightly behind him, Heavens hung high above his head and he emanated an aura as powerful as an Imperial Emperor!

“Left Prime Minister wants me to bring Old Man Xuan and Qi’s weapon to kill you, but to me, there is no need for this!”

His hands behind his back, he looked at Feng Xiaozhong and said, “Only one with the seventh secret realm can outperform an innate god on the same level. You are not such a person. Old Man Xuan and Qi’s effort is destined to go to waste.”

Weng—

The seventh light wheel emerged behind Feng Xiaozhong’s head and he playfully said, “You can now draw Old Man Xuan and Qi’s divine weapon.”

Innate Heavenly King’s pupils shrunk and far behind, Mo Yin’s expression changed as if he saw something terrifying while he shouted, “Innate Heavenly King, retreat!”

But before his voice could even reach Innate Heavenly King, the battle had already erupted. At the very second Innate Heavenly King drew Old Man Xuan and Qi’s weapon, an earth-shattering noise was heard. The seven light wheels behind Feng Xiaozhong rotated quickly, pulling the Star River acting as the fortress’ moat with the wheels, endless planets rose from the river and the infinite star power surged into Feng Xiaozhong!

“Monarch level mentality!”

Gui Youmin, Lou Zhengshi, and the others’ expression changed right away for everything triggered by Feng Xiaozhong was the result of the Daos tidal wave caused by the monarch level mentality!

However, this man in white robe obviously did not have the capability of handling such a mentality, was he not afraid of being converted into Dao by the heaven and earth’s Daos by doing this?

The seven light wheels severed the dimension around Innate Heavenly King into seven pieces, throwing him off balance and hurling him into the seven Reincarnations, instilling fear into him. It caused him to throw every last morsel of his strength into the weapon and hurl it towards Feng Xiaozhong!

The weapon forged by Old Man Xuan and Qi split the six Reincarnations apart before finding itself stuck in the dimension, rendered completely immobile. No matter how hard Innate Heavenly King tried, he just couldn’t move a finger at all!

“Ha!” shouted Feng Xiaozhong suddenly.

Without a sign, Innate Heavenly King began turning into Dao, the many innate Daos in his body were dragged away by the heaven and earth’s Daos, his body disintegrated and before the soldiers from both sides, this innate god in the peak Creator level turned into Daos alive!

Innate god’s body was Yuan Shen itself, formed entirely from heaven and earth’s Daos, making them extremely vulnerable to being converted into Dao; at a speed no one could react in time, more than half of Innate Heavenly King’s body was already consumed by Daos!
