Rise of Humanity
chapter-904

Zhong Yue laughed aloud, “Long Zhi, Long Zhi, Long defines the men, and Zhi the women. And so, I wonder, are you a man or woman? And whose niece are you?”

“What does it have to do with you!?” Long Zhi’s nine heads were infuriated, the voices of men and women mixed together as Long Zhu screamed in anger.

It was at this time, another flash of ray reached to the side of the Star River — another Imperial Emperor shrouded in godly lights!

Zhong Yue’s eyelids thumped, this newly arrived Imperial Emperor wasn’t an easy target as well, it was no doubt another expert whose power was no less inferior to Long Zhi’s.

“Third little sister, why are you here?” The newcomer was surprised and asked.

Long Zhi’s nine heads frowned together while some other flashes of rays came rushing toward them behind.

“Second elder brother, why are all of you here?” One of the flashes alighted beside the river and asked, “You all smelled the fragrance too?”

Zhong Yue’s heart sank, in just a short while, there were already five peak Imperial Emperors that arrived. Their prowesses were incredible and when the Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis’s fragrance reached them, they immediately traced it back to its source.

These five Imperial Emperors were all Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s Dao friends. Their powers were far too strong for the heavily fortified Heaven Suppressing Prefecture to actually defend.

“The fragrance must’ve come from a saint herb, one so saintly that even the world has never seen before. It is just right in the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture, it is in there. Consuming this saint herb will make the ascension to Imperial Monarch the lowest possible outcome.”

The Imperial Emperor who was called the “Second elder brother” turned and looked at Zhong Yue, he said, “But Mister Yi has kept the treasure for himself, he didn’t want to share to the others. So now, I am here to talk to him.”

“King Yi, you are the Imperial Emperor’s subject, and we are his friends. Do you think you should hand the treasure out to us?” Long Zhi smiled.

Zhong Yue frowned, five of Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s six Dao friends were here. He wondered if Imperial Emperor Xian Tian himself would also come.

“People, the treasure is mine and I have big use for it. You and I, we all serve under the Imperial Emperor, why do you all want to bully me?”

Zhong Yue replied placidly, “Your minds have been disturbed by the fragrance. Please, return.”

Long Zhu smirked coldly, “You are just a subject, and you dare act so impudently in front of us? We address you as a ‘Mister’ only because of the Imperial Emperor. Don’t you dare disrespect us when we’ve given you our respect! If you do not hand it out today, then we’ll come and take it away ourselves!”

The ‘second brother’ frowned, he lowered his voice and said, “Third sister, Mister Yi is the Imperial Emperor’s trusted advisor, the Left King, King Yi. Even Imperial Emperor respects him and gave him high powers. You shouldn’t act so brashly.”

Long Zhu smiled, “Even when he is granted with the high powers to command Imperial Emperor’s armies, he is still just a servant. As a servant, he dares to disrespect his master’s friends, who’s acting presumptuously now? Mister Yi, we respect that you were once an innate god, but that’s in the past. History. Now as you stand, you are a prenate being. Now, give out the saint herb! Or I will shatter your little land with just a finger!”

Zhong Yue startled, then laughed happily, “You intersex creature, feel free to come and try.”

Long Zhi was enraged, her body turned and showed her true form. It was a strange fox with nine heads and nine tails. Incredibly huge in size and while she stood above the stars, she sucked up the Star River and hurled out everything hard toward Zhong Yue!

Nine powerful blasts of dark gales were striking toward the Heaven Suppressing Palace. The gales dimmed the surrounding, it had stones and rocks that clashed with one another within it, giving rise to flashes of lightning and sparks of fire.

The two Creators guarding the gate were the first to face the dark gales. They mourned in pain as their muscles shattered apart, revealing the white bones beneath.

The two Creators then gave a loud groan, and they cast out their Secular Worlds. The Secular Worlds were worlds they had created by the condensation of the Daos they had cultivated. But just when the Secular Worlds were opened, the nine dark gales have already perforated the worlds.

Then, the dark gales slammed right into the city walls. The star sands bore through the walls and entered the city. In seconds, they had enlarged back to the sizes of stars and planets, and rammed down toward the palaces in the city.

“Fu Qizhi, Fu Yanshan, handle him,” Zhong Yue ordered.

The two human Imperial Emperors, Fu Qizhi and Fu Yanshan, walked out of the city. Fu Qizhi placed his crutch on the city walls and cast out two gigantic broad axes, swinging them nine times and crushing the nine dark gales.

Although he may be old, a far cry from his prime, with his broad axes, he was still a formidable cultivator.

Fu Yanshi swung his bone club and leaped up to the air, slamming down hard from above down toward Logn Zhi!

“Human slaves, you dare to attack me!?” Long Zhi was enraged, shouted in mixed voices of males and females. her nine tails shot out toward Fu Yanshan while shouting, “Back when I was fighting alongside the Imperial Emperor, slaughtering your ancestors, you were still just a tadpole!”

Zhong Yue’s face turned gloomy, and killing intent brimmed in his heart.

The two Imperial Emperors clashed, causing the Star River to shudder violently. Fu Qizhi stepped forth and joined the battle. The three Imperial Emperors fought above the river surface, shuddering the space around them.

Long Zhi sure was strong. She was fighting two Imperial Emperors and yet, was still able to maintain the upper hand. Her nine heads laughed in unison, “Human slaves, I’ve helped to decipher and crack the arts and techniques of your ancestors…”

Krong—

In just a step, Zhong Yue entered the Stone Sentinel Maze and infused the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] into the Stone Sentinel Maze. In just a second, the 8 million Xian Tian Royal Guards and 8 million mounts all surged their arcane energy through the array formation into him.

Zhong Yue’s power was heightened to the level of a peaked Creator, and his body turned stalwart. And in the next second, the array formation has moved, reappeared above Long Zhi while sounds of cracking could be heard within Zhong Yue’s body.

Krong—

He opened the Tai Yang Secular World, followed by another loud boom and the opening of the Tai Yin Secular World, then another boom for the Desolate Lightning Secular World!

Krong—

The Innate Celestial Secular World, the Innate Demon Secular World, and lastly, the Innate Yi World. All six Secular worlds were opened as if there were 6 worlds in his body, filling him with the powers of the Secular Worlds!

Zhong Yue punched down while Long Zhi was fighting with Fu Qizhi and Fu Yanshan. It caught him off guard and took the full impact of the punch. The Star River beneath him exploded and she was struck into the Star RIver!

The Star River shuddered, waves and waves of star clouds rippled out from the center. This was how terrifying Zhong Yue was at the Creator level!

Fu Yanshan seized the chance and swung his bone club at her feet, tearing a huge piece of flesh away from her leg.

The old man’s face was ferocious, he reached his hand out toward the flesh clinging onto his bone club and picked it down and tucked it into his mouth.

Faraway, the Star River burst out as Long Zhi flew up into the sky. Her nine heads were shouting, “Little Brat Yi! You dare to harm me? You are also a human slave——”

Before she finished her words, Zhong Yue had already bolted out like an arrow toward Long Zhi!

Whereas Fu Qizhi and Fu Yanshan flanked the sides. Long Zhi laughed in extreme anger, her nine tails were raised high and shot out, curling onto Zhong Yue’s arm while her nine heads opened up and brimmed with rays. Clearly, some powerful skills were getting prepared in her mouth!

She was really enraged, and this would be a killing blow!

Just as her nine tails curled up on Zhong Yue’s incoming punch, Zhong Yue’s arm suddenly bulged out as if there were a dragon that swarmed beneath his skins. His arm grew larger and stronger.

Then, his fist opened up and the nine tails were blasted out from his arm!

Krong—

Right after Zhong Yue removed the nine tails from his arm, his palm turned into a knife-hand and brought it down onto Long Zhi’s neck. The godly rays that were brimming in Long Zhi’s nine heads suddenly lost of control and dispersed in all directions.

Fu Qizhi and Fu Yanshi came flanking on the sides, battering Long Zhi into flying. While she was still in midair, her nine tails were clenched by Zhong Yue, and swung her onto the city walls. The city walls shuddered violently and so was the Star River!

Long Zhi spurted out a mouthful of blood. Fu Yanshan’s bone club and Fu Qizhi’s broad axes came crashing down from the sides, creating wounds after wounds on Long Zhi’s body.

“You slaves…”

As the bone club and broad axes were pulled back, Zhong Yue’s knee struck onto her heart, causing her to spurt out blood from her nine heads.

“Enough!”

A terrifying aura rose from behind, it was the ‘second brother’, he was walking toward them. Immediately, Zhong Yue held onto Fu Qizhi and Fu Yanshi, and flew up to the city wall, fleeing from the scene.

The ‘second’ came over and helped Long Zhi back to her feet. He stopped Long Zhi from attacking again and raised his head, staring into Zhong Yue’s eyes while saying sternly, “Mister Yi, you sure are a Mister, to be able to form an array formation of this caliber. However, we aren’t easy targets either. Third Sister Long Zhi hasn’t shown her true power yet. As the Imperial Emperor’s subject, she didn’t try to kill you. You should know the limits.”

Zhong Yue bowed and thanked, “Thank you for going easy on me.”

The ‘second’ nodded, he said, “Mister Yi, your talent deserve my nod of approval. Since that saint herb is something you treasure most, we will not force the issue. Third sister, let it go, let him be.”

Long Zhi replied coldly, “I’ve been treated like this, and you ask me to let him go?”

The ‘second’ conducted his voice and explained, “He is Imperial Emperor’s trusted subject, he is one of his great weapons to win the universe. Look at him now, a Heavenly Deity and already capable of forcing you into this state with his array formation. The Imperial Emperor will not allow you to harm him, he still needs him to fight the war for him. Why don’t you take a step back and resolve this peacefully?”

Long Zhi gritted her teeth, glared at Zhong Yue, gave a cold sneer, then turned and left.

The ‘second’ smiled, “Mister Yi is a true talent. Since that saint herb… It’s so enticing—”

His stature quivered and he murmured, “Such fragrance, such smell. This saint herb has gone through a hundred lives, it contained Daos of uncountable. If I can get it, the monarch level….”

“Shit!” Zhong Yue’s face changed drastically. The Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis’s fragrance has finally seeped through the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror, Xin Huo’s copper lamp, and now out to the real world!

Long Zhi also stopped, she sniffed hardly while the other three peaked Imperial Emperors outside of the Star River also smelled it. They were all agitated and turned their eyes on Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue’s scalps tingled. The Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis’s fragrance was far too enticing that even the Imperial Emperors couldn’t resist it. This was the last tribulation to Bi An’s hundred lives of cultivation!

After this tribulation, the Bi An Flower would bloom, and the fragrance would disperse, and the birth of Bi An.

If the Bi An flower was eaten in this tribulation, Bi An would be no more, and his life would give birth to a new monarch!

Beads of cold sweat burst out on Zhong Yue’s forehead and started moving back step after step. The three of them, Fu Qizhi, Fu Yanshan, and him together would be able to fight back against Long Zhi. But if the five Imperial Emperors all joined the battle, they wouldn’t stand a chance at all, not even with all the gods in the Heaven Suppressing Palace!
