Rise of Humanity
chapter-371

The wind blew heavily, and above the Desolation City, the sky turned dark and gloomy. Demonic Qi covered the whole Eight Barrens, and the sun above was blazing with a dark red glow like a star from hell!

Around the Desolation City, sandstorms ravaged the vast desert, continually altering topography; mountains would be eroded to flatlands and flatlands would be carved into mountains.

The dark black hurricanes swept across the deserted land, sucking the sand up into the sky and exposing the dreary white bones in the sands.

These skeletal frames were huge, and some were even gigantic. When they were blown by the hurricanes, some unknown elements inside of the hurricane's demonic Qi affected these bones and lifted them into the air, making them seem to dance like macabre puppets. However, as soon as the hurricane passed, the demonic Qi in these bones would leave with it, and they would once again fall lifelessly to the ground.

When another hurricane blew over, these skeletons would then dance again. This was a strange and peculiar scene that could be seen nowhere else other than the demon desert.

The demonic sun scorched the sea of sands, burning the sands to a scorching hot temperature.

Meanwhile, in the Desolation City, it was dead quiet with only the experts unleashing their auras in the sky and forming an ocean of demonic clouds above them.

All of a sudden, two inner cores flew out from the Desolation City; they dazzled brightly with a brilliant light and had cleared the gloomy sky in an instant to reveal the dark red demonic sun that shone from high above!

These two inner cores were different in appearance but were quite the same size. Inside one of these inner cores, there was the image of nine demon gods on an altar where the nine demon gods were worshipping a huge demon god's head on the altar's center. It seemed to shine even brighter than the rays from the sun and stars.

While inside of the other inner core, there was the image of a human-headed, snake-bodied Fuxi with the sun and moon orbiting round around it.

Rising higher into the sky, the radiance of the two inner cores eventually exceeded that of the demonic sun; their luminescence was so powerful that the hundred-mile-long Desolation City was rid of any shades and shadows!

All of a sudden, skills were lashed out from the two inner cores, and they assaulted one another. Sword Qi was blasted out from the Fuxi Inner Core and filled the air. Over thousands of Jiao Dragons appeared in the sky, formed by these near-metallic Sword Qi as they thrust over at the Heavenly Saint Demon God Inner Core.

While on the other hand, voices of a ritual of worship came from the inside of Heavenly Saint Demon God Inner Core following by the sounds of drumming as if the demon gods in it were playing war music. It reverberated in the sky and crushed the Jiao Dragons away.

The two inner cores clashed in battle with one another while they continued rising higher in the sky. Ding, ding, ding—— vociferous sounds were rung through the battlefield as the fight's intensity continued to mount, and the sound of the drums continually eroded the Jiao Dragons. All of a sudden, the Fuxi inside of the Fuxi Inner Core opened his eyes where the sun and moon around it fell into his black pupils. Two godly rays were then shot out from the inner core which was precisely the Yin Yang Qi penetrating right through the soundwaves and thrusting at the Heavenly Saint Demon God Inner Core!

Then, a huge drum with four three-inch tall demon gods flew out from Heavenly Saint Demon God Inner Core, playing the drum heavily and fighting with the Yin Yang Qi.

The Heavenly Saint Demon God Inner Core then flew out another two little demon gods, one of them wielded a sword-like four-inch long willow leaf that it thrust over while the other demon god stood on the leaf, making hand seals that augmented the power of the willow leaf.

In the Fuxi Inner Core,

the Fuxi swung his snake-tail and shot out a feathery golden sword.

The experts on the Desolation Stage were all shocked as the two peculiar swords clashed. The old lady of the Ji Xiang Saint Clan then tore off half her sleeves and threw it into the sky.

The torn sleeve was shot into the sky, and suddenly, it instantly enlarged to become an ocean of gloomy clouds that enshrouded the whole Desolation City.

Just as it covered the Desolation City, metal clanking and tearing sounds could be heard from the outside. The feathery golden sword and willow leaf emerald sword clashed fiercely and released invisible Sword Qi out in all domains and ravaged the ground with long scars!

The grey sky formed by the torn sleeve was then cut open by the Sword Qi, but the gloomy clouds were effective in preventing the Sword Qi from falling on the city. However, the unprotected desert outside of the city was then left with a number of mile-long rifts, adding an additional sense of devastation to its already bleak landscape!

While on the stage, the two young men stood steadfastly, not moving an inch at all.

They stared at one another, and their auras were growing stronger and thicker, so intense that in the eyes of the experts, their auras were attacking one another like two living cultivators, trying to stand on the upper hand!

As long as there was an opening in the opponent’s aura, they would go all out and crush the opponent in a trice!

There were many experts around, but only a handful could see the peri in it; mainly the magnates and the eight saint clan ancestors as their faces turned solemn.

While the other demon experts, including the Heavenly Dharma giant cultivators, only looked at their inner core battles.

Zhong Yue and Demon Saint stood still, and their inner cores were fighting the battle, a unique and distinct struggle in the high sky.

The battle was getting more intense, and all sorts of awe-inspiring skills were struck out by the two inner cores. Not even the demon experts could clearly see the battle through the gloomy sky.

“These two, are strong….”

The Ji Xiang old lady who threw her sleeve out mumbled, "Just only their inner cores alone could tear any other Inner Core Qi Practitioners apart. They are really talented. Saint clan leader, who do you think will win?"

A beautiful middle-aged lady walked over and sat down before the old lady. She heard the question and said smilingly, "Mister Mo Luo is a little weaker, most probably due to the incompatibility between his inner core and cultivation technique which caused his prowess to be slightly weaker. His inner core must have been cultivated earlier than this, and due to that, his cultivation technique has yet to be fully integrated into it."

The beautify lady's perception was incredible; she could see through the flaws in Zhong Yue's inner core with just a glance. Zhong Yue had indeed cultivated two different techniques that were antithetical of each other, and in order to merge the two together, he had created the【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】. Although he had achieved a few notable breakthroughs, he still couldn't cultivate the Celestial Demon Tai Chi Inner Core just yet, which was why his inner core was weaker than Demon Saint's.

The Ji Xiang old lady then asked in a low voice, “Saint clan leader, is the thing here?”

The beautiful lady who was Ji Xiang Saint Clan's clan leader nodded her head and replied softly, "It is here. For Demon Saint, not only did I bring our ancestor's Godly Radiation Stone, but I also brought the Sixteen Heavenly Demon Art."

She looked at the other magnates on the Desolation Stage as bright rays flashed across her eyes. She said softly, "Yan Mo's clan leader is also here, what a shameless scamp, he shrunk himself down and hid in his son's sleeves in fear of Demon Saint's detection. It seems like the Thousand Woods Demon Saber is also in his hands. Hm? Tian Xiang clan master is also here, hiding in the crowd of the younger generation, acting like a young cultivator. It seems like the Tian Xiang Treasure Seal is also here. Eight saint clans and three clan masters have arrived, this Demon Saint and Mo Luo is really amazing…."

The Ji Xiang old lady laughed softly and said, "I think that everyone is here, all eight saint clan clan masters, just that some did appear in the lights and some others were hiding in the shades."

The beautiful lady nodded and said smilingly, "The other old brats must be hiding in the shadows, somewhere in or out of this Desolation City, waiting for the chance to take down Demon Saint. For now, it's only up to our dear Mister Mo Luo to force Demon Saint to show his trumps cards. However, it is very worrisome as his inner core was weaker than Demon Saint but other than that, even his aura was strong to fight against Demon Saint. It's really amazing for such a young man to be able to reach as far as this stage."

The Ji Xiang old lady replied and said, "Despite this, such a young cultivator that isn't a demon, must not be spared!"

Saint clan master then nodded and said, “Must not be spared!”

Zhong Yue and Demon Saint's auras were like two ocean billowing into one another; they collided with one another with steadily and violently, and the sounds of the collision of their auras were growing louder. It began to feel as if Desolation City had really become submerged under a violent tsunami of crashing waves.

As of now, their auras had gotten shaky and was weaker as they were both affected by each other's aura. This was also the time where their inner cores struck at their greatest intensities. Shura, Yan Mo, and the others all stiffened up and thought, The final blow is coming!

Demon Saint's inner core shone brightly, and all of a sudden, a loud roar came from within. On the altar inside of the inner core, the nine demon gods bowed down at the head in the center, and the Bo Xun's head was greatly enhanced. He let out a roar and Zhong Yue' Fuxi Inner Core was struck away by the soundwave!

The Heavenly Saint Demon God Inner Core turned, and the nine little demon gods all danced around it, changing the inner core's shape into the replica of Bo Xun's head as it opened the mouth and gnawed down at Zhong Yue's Fuxi Inner Core!

At the same time, the light wheels emerged behind Demon Saint and he turned into a nearly 400 feet tall giant, opening all his secret realms and surging all his might to suppress Zhong Yue!

The demon

s now banished him, and not a single soul worshipped him anymore. Thus, his Yuan Shen's limit was supporting a nearly 400 feet tall Yuan Shen. But even so, h was not any weaker than Zhong Yue's!

As the five light wheels emerged, his aura burst out and pressed on Zhong Yue from all aspects. While at this moment, Zhong Yue let out a long laugh, and light wheels also emerged behind him, the blood essence in his body roared in power and his secret realms, Dao Yi, Yin Yang, Shen Cai, Wan Xiang and Wu Xing, all opened!

Five light wheels emerged, and five secret realms were opened. Next, the sixth wheel and secret realm – the Bloodline Wheel Bloodline Secret Realm had appeared!

The Fuxi divine heart surged its power, and his blood essence was increased to numerous times stronger than before. It seeped out from his body and painted the whole sky into a blood-red colored ocean where the two inner cores were floating in the sea, and the Fuxi Inner Core was greatly strengthened!

Not only that, but his aura was also heightened to a new level that crushed away Demon Saint's aura like tofu!

As Demon Saint's aura was pushed back and crushed, Zhong Yue laughed and struck over. His body turned into a 360 feet tall Fuxi Celestial, and his body as the dragon carving center of the Tai Chi with Yin and Yang each on one side of his body. The【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】was cast, and he launched a heavy punch at Demon Saint!"

"Worship of the Nine Demon!"

Demon Saint let out a loud roar, he raised his hand and fended off the incoming attack while the nine demon gods emerged behind him. The totem patterns then formed a colossal altar where Demon Saint stood at the center to receive the worship of the nine demons. His prowess then increased at an amazing rate.

Krong——

The Desolation Stage cracked open, and the Nine Demon Altar shattered to pieces. A silhouette was struck back at high speed, crushing two Qi Practitioners who were in his path!

Peng Peng Peng!

The silhouette rammed through one building after another, then finally crushed through and cracked the city wall.

Zhong Yue laughed loudly, his snake-tail swung heavily, and the whole of Desolation City trembled violently. Zhong Yue then flitted forward to the desert out of the city!

"Demon Saint, let me deliver you to heaven!"
