Rise of Humanity
chapter-363

Silence.

It was deathly quiet after the name was mentioned!

The disastrous effects triggered by the Triad Ritual were unstoppable, or so it seemed. Even the divine weapons couldn’t withstand it and were disintegrating, even heaven and earth could be taken down, and even the Creator’s scattered spirit couldn’t put up a notable fight!

However, the unstoppable Triad Ritual was stopped, the unworldly energies and powers in the air halted and ceased moving while the dazzling totem pattern chains didn’t emerge anymore and the ten Demon Embryos stopped growing.

Oppressed.

The surroundings turned indescribably oppressing!

They could feel themselves being squeezed as if there was an ever-increasing pressure bearing down on them, making it incredibly difficult for them to even breath.

Demon Saint’s confident face changed drastically and he scanned the surroundings for anything odd but to no avail. There wasn’t anyone coming towards them or any signs of a god. But the oppressive force that was weighing on them was clear and evident, it felt as if it was coming from right beside him.

Zhong Yue was also undulating with restlessness, the atmosphere was suffocating while beside him, Shura had a shocked face and Tian Mo Concubine said in a quivering voice, “Dear, do you really have a guardian? He feels so terrifying….”

Before Zhong Yue could answer her question, Demon Saint yelled a war cry and the five light wheels behind him revolved rapidly, all of the Demon God Blood Charms flew out and burned vigorously!

He was tense and couldn’t afford to let the situation slip out of his control, plus the air was so oppressive that even the Triad Ritual was stopped. Thus, he couldn’t hold back anymore and went all out, burning more of the Demon God Blood Charms to power the Triad Ritual!

Demon Saint growled furiously, the nine demon gods emerged again and they poured their powers into the array diagram and the altar, while he yelled, “Up!”

The stopped Triad Ritual moved once again, but this time at a much slower speed as if there was an opposing force countering it. The opposing force was so strong that it had exceeded Demon Saint’s limit and could even compete with the whole Triad Ritual!

Who is this Bo Xun?

Demon Saint grit his teeth so hard that blood spilled from his gums, he was shocked in his heart and thought, No matter who he is, I will never allow him to stop my ritual! Whoever stands in my way shall die in my hands!

“Bo Xun?” Zhong Yue looked at the remnant of the Creator’s head and called again. He was puzzled since he saw the severed head quake for a few moments but it had not awakened.

He had mentioned ‘Bo Xun’ and yet, the head did not awaken, he couldn’t help but to doubt if the Creator’s name was truly ‘Bo Xun’ or not.

Krong——

The heaven and earth distorted, there was demonic Qi rushing over as the altar quaked violently. Cracking sounds could be heard coming from the array diagram and soon, cracks appeared on the surface of the altar.

Demon Saint spit out a mouth full of blood and shouted in anger with the blood still trickling down his face while the nine demon gods flew up from the altars into the nine Demon Embryos, “What bullshit! Bo Xun? Who are you? A coward that doesn’t even dare to meet me in my Triad Ritual? Staying outside like a rat that lives in the dark!?”

There were ten Demon Embryos above the altar, the strongest and greatest one was situated in the center. The other nine were the demon god seeds whereas the Demon Embryo in the center was the Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo, the core of the【Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art】.

Once the Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo matured, Demon Saint’s Yuan Shen would possess it and from then onward, he would ascend to a stage he could never have reached in his last life!

While as of now, the Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo was filled with an immense aura, it felt as boundless as the heaven and as heavy as the earth, its demonic aura was unworldly as if it came from the deep abyss of hell itself. Its existence had given a suppressing air to the surroundings.

It was still an unmatured Demon Embryo, if the heaven and earth oblation ritual was completed, it would be even stronger than that Ao Clan’s dragon ancestor!

These ten Demon Embryos were all composed of pure energies, they contained profound knowledge and the totem patterns that materialized into their physical forms were the life experiences and attainments of the Creator.

By making the ten Demon Embryos his, Demon Saint could not only restore himself back to his peak form in his last life, but he would stand on an even higher ground than before!

He would eventually, become the next demon Creator!

However, as of this moment, all of the ten Demon Embryos were still maturing and going into them would give him lesser achievements. But Zhong Yue had called ‘Bo Xun’ twice, the heteromorphisms and pressures that emerged were way too shocking so Demon Saint could only enter the nine Demon God Seed Demon Embryos to secure at least part of the benefits brought by the Triad Ritual so that he could have enough strength to go against the mysterious Bo Xun!

However, the Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo was left untouched because once it had matured, he could still achieve a greater level than he did in his last life, he would only require a little more time to do so.

He had extensive knowledge and was experienced, the power of Bo Xun was way too strong so he would have to act quickly and absorb the nine Demon Embryos so that he could take down Bo Xun and continue his Triad Ritual later.

As long as this mysterious Bo Xun was killed, he could see the completion of the Triad Ritual!

“Xin Huo, is this Creator really called Bo Xun?” Zhong Yue was unsure and asked.

Xin Huo laughed and said, “For sure he is! Just call him one more time, he will wake up. After all, he has sensed you, he just isn’t fully awakened yet. Call him one more time and he will wake up for sure, to kill you that is.”

Zhong Yue was speechless, he furrowed his brows and said loudly, “Bo Xun, why aren’t you coming out to awaken the Creator’s scattered spirit?”

As of now, the Creator’s scattered spirit was weakening with every second, the surface of the saint mountain had been completely disintegrated and the white skull inside was exposed to the air. The skull was densely covered with innate totem patterns, these were the totem patterns that naturally came as part of the birth of the innate demon Creator, they held abstruse knowledge in them and they were also what Demon Saint longed for the most!

Even these innate totem patterns were disintegrating in the Triad Ritual!

However, right as Zhong Yue finished his sentence mentioning Bo Xun for the third time, the innate totem patterns that densely covered Bo Xun’s skull stopped disintegrating. Two demon fireballs suddenly emerged inside of the two darker than black eye sockets as if there were two demon suns burning in Bo Xun’s eyes.

“Inheritor … I can feel you … once again … pain, this is really …. Pain….”

The altar exploded into pieces and the Triad Ritual collapsed, the immense energy in the sea of blood buzzed sonorously in their ears before the sea of blood scattered out in all directions and streamed everywhere like rivers while the whole secret realm quaked vigorously as it fell into the real world, connecting to the outside and crushing the topography around as it descended into the Eight Barren demon land!

The Creator’s scattered spirit was only left with a bare skull, his mouth moved up and down and a voice spoke even without the existence of a vocal cord, “Who? Who is doing this? How dare you try to sacrifice me!”

The voice alone created a powerful sound wave that struck Demon Saint, he spit out a mouth full of blood and was sent flying into the air. The nine demon gods suddenly moved collaboratively to withstand the sound wave while the demon concubines and court ladies with Demon Queen all died on the spot. Whereas the intelligent Demon Queen had rushed behind the nine demon gods, attempting to survive the soundwave after doing so she ran away right after.

She was an intelligent girl, she knew that Demon Saint’s plan had failed the moment Bo Xun awakened and there were no other possibilities for success anymore!

“Oh my heaven….”

Shura raised his head and looked at the enormous head, he mumbled, “Mister Mo Luo, your Bo Xun awakened the Creator’s scattered spirit, how was he actually able to do that? You must introduce me to this Bo Xun!”

“I sure will, if there is a chance!”

Zhong Yue surged his arcane energy into the wooden boat and yelled, “Guys, why aren’t we moving?”

Krong!

The nine demon gods were struck into the sky while Demon Saint could be seen lunging over to the Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo. Then, an ear-deafening roar was let out by the Creator’s scattered spirit that sent him flying again, after that the giant head then leaped into the air and ate the Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo!

Demon Saint’s heart contorted in great pain, his eyes turned blood-red and he growled meaninglessly like a wounded mad beast. But in the next second, he turned and dashed away, not even daring to stay a minute longer.

The awakened head of Bo Xun was way too terrifying. If only the nine demon gods were matured, they would be able to stop the head of Bo Xun but sadly, he had awakened way too early.

And if the nine demon gods had met their ends at the hands of the Creator’s scattered spirit, he would be the next to die. After all, he was the one that attempted to sacrifice Bo Xun’s head and had destroyed the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm Bo Xun had created before death!

“MO LUO!!!”

Demon Saint howled in agony and one could clearly perceive the endless hate he had toward Zhong Yue as he flew in pursuit of his greatest enemy.

Zhong Yue looked back and said helplessly, “You asked for it yourself, I clearly said that I didn’t want to do it but you challenged me to.”

“Mo Luo, you’ve destroyed everything I have planned for two whole lives, the hatred between you and I is irreconcilable!”

Demon Saint howled incessantly, “Not even the vast sea can wash away the hatred I have! I swear to the great heaven and mighty earth, I will not call myself Demon Saint anymore if I don’t kill you!”

Zhong Yue turned back and rays flashed in his eyes, he said solemnly, “Shura, let’s join hands and kill him!”

Shura was shocked by the proposal and quickly said, “Calm down. Let’s get out of here first!”

Tian Mo Concubine, Ji Xiang Concubine and the other ladies all persuaded him and calmed him down, they powered the wooden boat and flew away at a greater speed. Demon Saint was also shocked after he heard Zhong Yue, he didn’t dare to pursue them anymore and took a detour away from them. After all, Zhong Yue and Shura were strong cultivators, if the two of them came together, the odds of him winning would be low.

Most importantly, even though his nine demon gods had infused into the nine Demon Embryos, they weren’t strong enough to withstand Bo Xun and if Bo Xun came after him, he would die for sure!

Hence, he could only let Zhong Yue go and leave this place as fast as possible.

The wooden boat flew at a greater speed and after a long time, they had reached the edge of the broken secret realm, where the Black Well Keep was once at. Although the Black Well Keep was disintegrated, it was connected to the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm and thus, when the secret realm merged with the real world, the place was made countless times bigger than before. Everywhere around the place was now paved with demon fire and godly fire, creating a decimated land!

As the Triad Ritual collapsed, the blood rivers spread out in all directions and the immense energy in them would eventually settle into the many treasures hidden in this piece of devastated land, including the pure ready-to-be-absorbed demonic Qi and the Demonic Spirit Waters!

However, this place was fully covered with demon fire and godly fire, the sea of flame wouldn’t disperse even after millions of years. If one would like to enter this place seeking any of the many treasures, the first requirement would be divine weapons and thus, the numbers of demons able to explore the treasures would be greatly limited to only the eight saint clans’ magnates with the demon divine weapons.

Zhong Yue looked behind them and felt regret, What a pity, I didn’t make use of the right timing. Or Else, I would have been able to let Demon Saint and Bo Xun’s scattered spirit die together in battle, that would be a perfect ending and I might even be able to acquire the ten Demon Embryos….

In the fire ocean, growls and roaring could be heard. Vaguely, Zhong Yue could see nine tall demon gods standing and surrounding Bo Xun’s head in the center beating on him. However, even if it was only a scattered spirit, the demon Creator was still too strong and the nine demon gods were eaten by it one after another.

“Shit, the nine demon gods are dying, move, quickly!”

Zhong Yue’s face changed drastically, he could feel his scalp tingling after all after Bo Xun had eaten the nine demon gods, he didn’t pursue Demon Saint but him!

The huge skull was flitting across the fire ocean at an unearthly speed, way faster than the wooden boat and in just a second, he was reaching the edge of the fire ocean!

“Inheritor … DIE!” The demon fire in the skull’s eye sockets burned brighter as he spoke.

A frigid chill was sent down their spines, even the past demon god, Shura, wasn’t an exception to it. Tian Mo Concubine looked at Zhong Yue full of anticipation as she chuckled happily and said, “Darling, quickly ask your Bo Xun to come out! If he can awaken Creator’s scattered spirit, then he can also seal him away!”

Zhong Yue smacked her on her gorgeous butt and said furiously, “Woman, stop talking and fly the wooden boat faster!”
