Rise of Humanity
chapter-670

“【Dao Crusher】?” King Geng startled, he praised, “What a nice saber art. The sun and moon halts the heaven and earth, the Yin and Yang traps the Yuan Shen, the Reincarnation ceases the Wu Xing and Wan Xiang, whereas the saber crushes the Dao. Although there is still plenty of room for improvement, it is truly appalling. Those who wield a saber are usually idiots but I see something different in him. He crushed the totem pillar I left in the palace, it seems like he noticed that I am observing him through that. What a cautious opponent.”

It was only now that the Qi Practitioners could move, but their faces were still pale like snow. Zhong Yue’s third style of the【God Slaying Three Styles】, the【Dao Crusher】was far too strong for them to even put up a fight. It was truly a huge impact to the experts like them.

“King!” One of the Qi Practitioners bowed and asked, “Who is he?”

The Qi Practitioners centered around King Geng and continued moving to the site. King Geng mulled and said, “He shouldn’t be Li Tianxing, nor Shu Ye, let alone Fa Bisheng. After all, there is no need for them to fake themselves as a skeleton to fight with me. But since when did the Prison Realm have a skeleton Qi Practitioner?”

“Skeleton?” Suddenly, one of the lady Qi Practitioners thought and stepped forward, she said, “My king, there is in fact a skeleton that has caused quite a ruckus recently. The skeleton is said to be a lower being that freed himself from the lower realm. They call him the Blood Bone Evil God. A sinistrous being that killed many in his hands.”

“Blood Bone Evil God? A lower level being from the lower realm?” King Geng laughed as he shook his head, “He is definitely no lower level being from the lower realm, nor is he a god. He is just a Qi Practitioner like you and I. Although I couldn’t have stopped him from leaving, I was able to take a glimpse at his background. He is a Prison Realm Qi Practitioner, must’ve been teleported into the lower realm and turned into a skeleton in there. Amazing, it just proves his talent to be able to break free from the lower realm. I think I know who he is already.”

The Qi Practitioners exchanged a look curiously, and King Geng said while smiling, “He is a human from the Left Fang Galaxy, the human Zhong Yue who defeated and beheaded the Reverse Emperor. It’s been said that he has the Sun Moon Twin Spirit and his saber arts are incredible. The sun and moon from the【Dao Crusher】that was just casted is a solid evidence to his identity.”

King Geng mulled and said, “Furthermore, his saber styles are really incredible. Among everyone in the Prison Realm, only that human Zhong Yue could’ve done it. I am amazed, I have never expected the human race to be able to create such a talent.”

“The Innate Sun Moon Twin Spirit Body is known as the second strongest innate spirit body, just slightly weaker than my Innate Galaxy Spirit Body. It is really amazing for him to be able to awaken both the sun and moon spirits. I heard that he is still in the True Spirit level and is able to remain undefeated even after exchanging four strikes with me, what a talent. If he cultivated to the level of Imminent Deity, he might just been strong enough to contend against my all-out strength. Of course, that’s only if you’re considering me in my current state.”

King Geng spoke with the utmost confidence. He was also at the level of True Spirit just like Zhong Yue. He suddenly smiled, “If a talent like him can follow me, he’d be very useful. However, for the puny human race to have an extraordinary talent like him, he will surely be uneasy to tame. It seems like I still have to show him the unfairness of this world before he is willing to bow his head before me.”

Abruptly, one of the young man stepped forward, he was fanning himself with a paper fan as he said, “King, do you still remember the story of the late Realm Monarch and the current Realm Monarch?”

King Geng sterned his heart, while the young man continued, “The current Realm Monarch was captured by the six Realm Lords, but the late Realm Monarch saved him and gave him a high position in the Heaven, making him the only one that stands a position below the late Realm Monarch. However, as soon as the late Realm Monarch died, he stole the throne and made himself the ruler without even thinking about all that the Realm Monarch had done for him. Not only that, but he stripped the king off from your mortal body and banished the king to the Prison Realm. This human Zhong Yue was in a situation just like the current Realm Monarch and the king as the late Realm Monarch, I am worrying that…”

King Geng sneered coldly in reply, “Ease your heart, I am not my brother nor is the human Zhong Yue the current Realm Monarch. As long as he falls into my hand, I will take full control of his life! Heed my orders, all the Qi Practitioners in everywhere will search for this Blood Bone Evil God, I will repay those who notifies me of his position!”

The Qi Practitioners nodded and quickly spread the news.

The young man then asked again, “King, what about the territory…”

“There is no need to go there anymore. I have more than one territory, it’s no big deal of losing one. Head back to the Yu Yang Palace, and we shall wait for further news.”

…

“Brat Yue, this King Geng is really stronger than you. He fought a distance away and used only a hand whereas you fought on the spot with full strength. Yet, he was able to fight back easily, even the【Dao Crusher】wasn’t really able to disturb him.” Xin Huo said while Zhong Yue was bolting away.

He analyzed, “The last strike he cast utilized the starlights and formed into the phantom of a galaxy. This reminds me of a terrifying innate spirit body—the Innate Galaxy Spirit Body! The galaxy spirit comes from the galaxy that is worshipped by the living beings in it. Every star in the galaxy is akin to a god, and thus granting those with the Galaxy Innate Spirit Body the power of a million gods, it is truly terrific! However, the Innate Galaxy Spirit Body is extremely rare, only being able to be born after the death of a galaxy. Furthermore, the Galaxy spirit would usually die off before it could even travel out of its galaxy and reach to a host.”

Zhong Yue then asked, “Xin Huo, is the Innate Galaxy Spirit Body stronger than the Sun Innate Spirit Body?”

Xin Huo laughed, “Are there more living beings worshipping a single sun or an entire galaxy? Which do you think it is? The Innate Galaxy Spirit Body isn’t inherently stronger than the Innate Sun Spirit Body. However, it has an incredible advantage, and that is that its potential is nearly limitless. As each star resembles a power source to the Innate Galaxy Spirit Body, when in the high cultivation levels, his arcane energy would be so abundant that it had literally no end to it. On the contrary, the different sources of power means that the arcane energy is fairly hard to control.”

Then Zhong Yue said solemnly, “But complementing the power of the Six Paths Reincarnation to convert the different powers, the disadvantage would not be a problem, but also turned into another new advantage.”

Xin Huo nodded, “Yes, indeed. The Six Paths Reincarnation allows him to unite the powers into one and he could even choose the most suitable power as needed from the different kinds of powers he has. Fighting with an enemy who has an overly abundant arcane energy, that can be changed into any element and wielded as freely as he desires, just imagine how terrifying that is!”

Xin Huo then murmured, “In the past, the Innate Sun Spirit Body was definitely the strongest of them all, even the Galaxy Innate Spirit Body was no match for it. But now, with the creation of the Six Paths Reincarnation, the Innate Sun Spirit Body might not be the strongest anymore. Time has flashed by so fast and things have changed far too rapidly for me to follow…”

The little flame couldn’t help but feel despondent, he had been in slumber for too long that he had missed out on too many things that everything he knew were relics of a time that had long since passed.

“Brat Yue, you must understand what this Six Paths Reincarnation truly is. The next inheritor must be able to thoroughly understand what this Six Paths Reincarnation is!” Xin Huo demanded, “It’s best if you can know all of its secrets so that I can impart it to the next inheritor.”

The ghost fire in Zhong Yue’s eye sockets burned dimly, he thought, King Geng is stronger than me, his understanding in the Six Paths Reincarnation is deeper and that makes him a terrifying opponent. However, if I could awaken the Innate True Soul and enter the Imminent Deity level, I will be no weaker than him. But just what cultivation level is King Geng at now?

He asked Ma Sansou of his doubt and Ma Sansou quickly replied, “King Geng only breaks through to the next level after reaching the peak of the previous cultivation level. Thus, he is still only in the True Spirit level.”

“True Spirit!” Zhong Yue inhaled deeply and grew serious, he never thought that King Geng would also be at the same cultivation level as him!

They were on the same cultivation level and King Geng was still able to suppress him! How terrifying was that!

He is stronger than me because of his deeper knowledge in the Six Paths Reincarnation. Seems like I still have a long way to go to defeat him!

Zhong Yue thought and asked, “Sansou, is there anyone in the Prison Realm that can compete with King Geng?”

After seeing Zhong Yue pushing back and even able to put up a fight against King Geng, Ma Sansou had already admired Zhong Yue, and quickly answered, “King Geng is the strongest of them all, there is no doubt. However, there is still a few that can compete with him. The Prison Realm has many talents and one of them is Li Tianxing who has opened all of the extreme states. This is followed by by Shu Ye, who comes from a great background and heritage. Then Fa Bisheng who is the son of the Realm Lord. There is also another one who goes by the name of Jun Wudao, he is very strong and can compete with Li Tianxing. As for the others, they are still slightly weaker than them. But in addition to them, Senior Martial Brother Evil God also has to be added into the list of the top cultivators.”

Zhong Yue’s psyche surged out and visualized the young man that fought with him and Reverse Emperor on the bridge, and he asked, “Is this young man any one of them?”

Of course he knew Li Tianxing as they’ve met before, but he didn’t know Shu Ye and the others.

Ma Sansou looked at the image of the young man and shook, “He is not anyone of them.”

“None?” Zhong Yue exclaimed, and he grew even more pressured. The young man on the bridge had also cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation and was definitely one of the strongest cultivators of them all. Yet, he was not listed or even heard of by anyone else!

This man was unknown, the Reverse Emperor didn’t recognize him and neither did Ma Sansou. Then, he must’ve hidden his true prowess all this while until now. The Qi Practitioners of Prison Realm mustn’t be underestimated!

All of a sudden, Zhong Yue stopped and looked at a loch beside them that was covered with mist. He could vaguely perceive a palace hidden within the mists, hovering above the loch like a flying castle.

There are no Qi Practitioners here, it seemed like no one has found this place. I can try and explore it to see if there is anything useful for Senior Martial Sister Jun to open her Bloodline Wheel.

He quietly sat down for a few days. Not knowing what he was planning, Ma Sansou could only follow beside him.

Zhong Yue was puzzled, he furtively glanced at Ma Sansou and thought, Why isn’t he leaving at all?

Ma Sansou helped him find Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er, and Zhong Yue hadn’t been threatening him with his life anymore. Logically speaking, Ma Sansou should’ve left already but who knew that Ma Sansou would still be shamelessly tagging along.

Little did he know that Ma Sansou was lamenting in his heart as well, Why isn’t the Blood Bone Evil God letting me go yet? Would he kill me on the spot if I asked to leave now?

He wanted to leave but didn’t dare to ask, whereas Zhong Yue was too shy to ask him to leave after he had been of so much help in Zhong Yue’s quest of finding Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er.

Looking at the time now, Brother Bai should’ve been here already… Zhong Yue thought.
