Rise of Humanity

Chapter 605 - Nothing Can Be Done Anymore

About half an hour later, the blood red beam launched from the altar on Black Mountain finally arrived at the Celestial Wood Star.

The blood beam then turned into a huge radiant ball of light that floated on top of the Celestial Wood Star; in the ball was the bloodline curse of Zhong Yue and millions of Kun Peng Celestial Race’s people looked at the ball.

This light ball was extremely alluring and incredibly dazzling.

Then, a cloud emerged around the radiant ball and started descending into the Celestial Wood Star.

These clouds grew larger and larger until they completely surrounded the star; the clouds were pale red and their mist passed through the creatures on the Celestial Wood Star one after another.

Weng weng weng-

Soon enough, the radiant ball faded after the energy in it was depleted.

The Kun Peng Celestial Race’s people were all shocked and the strong ones stayed behind to examine their conditions, but all of them failed to discover anything; everything remained the same, the blood flowing in them was still the Kun Peng bloodline and nothing was sealed.

Everything seemed unchanged, but they didn’t know that the bloodline curse only took effect on their descendents.

And after ten generations or perhaps even more, the godly bloodline in them will be fully concealed, and they would have lost the almighty power of the celestial race.

“Lion, the injuries on Wen Changgong’s chest are not treated.” Zhong Yue said as he spun the scale mirror and faced it at Wen Changgong.

Right away, Shi Buyi looked at Wen Changgong and lunged towards him while Wen Changgong’s expression changed dramatically. The injuries on his chest were inflicted by Old Man Six Paths and they were still there up until now, which made his chest his biggest weak point!

Lord Dragon sheathed his sword and got to the side of Zhong Yue. He looked at the mirror and his expression changed right away. He kept quiet for a moment and asked Zhong Yue with a deep heart, “Did the mirror expose the weakness of Lord Kun just now?”

At the back of Zhong Yue, Huang She, Shang Zhen, Kua Fu, and the others walked up and did not dare to act recklessly after seeing Lord Kun being sacrificed. Lord Dragon stood beside of Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue then replied to Lord Dragon’s question, “The death of Lord Kun was not caused by this mirror but his worry over the future of his own race.”

With a tone filled with complicated emotions, Lord Dragon said again, “I’ve been in conflict with him since the Bi Xie Era; we fought when we were still alive and we still fought each other even after our deaths. It’s been five million years now and I still couldn't do anything about him. But now, I won because of this mirror, but I feel… I feel that this was not a fair fight. Zhong Yue, this mirror of yours is unbelievably strong. It’s so strong that it shouldn’t even be allowed to exist, it’s so strong that even if the heaven allowed it to be here, the gods out there wouldn’t!”

Zhong Yue then shone the mirror at Zhu Jiumu with hesitation, his lips moved but in the end, he did not say a single word and he was a little bit unwilling to tell Xuan Yuan about Zhu Jiumu’s weakness.

Through the mirror, Zhong Yue came to understand Zhu Jiumu’s weakness, and if he told Xuan Yuan about this, then with the power of the divine sword, Xuan Yuan could cut Zhu Jiumu down with just one strike!

Zhong Yue was once friends with this old man, thus, he was unwilling to go that far.

He then directed the mirror at the other gods, starting with Shang Zhen, then Huang She, then Kua Fu before proceeding to the others; while Lord Dragon, who saw what was shown in the mirror, sighed and lamented, “Such an item really shouldn't be allowed to exist in this world!”

The mirror revealed everyone’s deepest secrets; Lord Dragon saw even the tiniest details about himself, from the weakness in his skill, to his art then his divine weapons and others.

Even when attacking someone, the arrangement of his power, the flow of his energy and the changes in the totem carvings array were all laid before in the mirror.

It was like every cover of his was stripped away and all of his secrets were exposed.

Such item was never known by the others, not even someone like Lord Dragon; it was beyond his comprehension and thus, the saying of such item shouldn’t be allowed to exist.

From Lord Dragon’s point of view, this is an item beyond comprehension and an item that shouldn't be here!

Meanwhile, Shang Zhen, Huang She and the other gods who stood at the back of Zhong Yue were all very wary of Lord Dragon; if Lord Kun were still alive, they would still be able to put up a fight, but now, that was no longer the case.

Zhong Yue, however, ignored them while his three divine eyes swept across the altar of Black Mountain that had sacrificed all those five hundred godly spirits, divine weapons, Lord Kun and Xiao Mang Grand Ancestor. Right now, the power gathered around the altar had reached an incredible degree.

Gigantic totem carvings surrounded Black Mountain while lightning rained from the skies, creating an area filled with lighting, lighting up the surroundings and overwhelming it with the roar of tunder.

Blood rain continued to fall from the skies, washing the ground with blood.

Even so, with such tremendous power, the body of Patriarch Nature was still partially intact, and around his body were totem carvings that tried to withstand the power of the ritual.

Zhong Yue then shone the mirror at the entire City of Nature, exposing the complicated totem carvings around the city; even with the mirror, it was still tough to fully decipher the totem carvings within Patriarch Nature’s bpdy.

“A Deity Overlord’s spirit, how much power will Lord Dragon be able to preserve even with the dragons worshipping him?” Shang Zhen murmured as he looked at the Kua Fu God。

This Kua Fu Celestial Race’s god, whose name was Kuafu Anshan, thought for awhile and replied, “Between the Pure Yang Gods and Heavenly Gods, with a full prayer, he would be able to return to his maximum strength which is equivalent to a Heavenly Deity! However, I hear that the dragons had moved to the Kun Lun Realm, and if they prayed from a different dimension, he might not be able to return to his full strength.”

The five gods all felt relieved upon hearing Kuafu Anshan’s words, and Huang She God said politely, “If Lord Dragon could be generous enough to tolerate us a little bit more, we would all be more than grateful.”

Lord Dragon, on the other hand, did not say anything as he continued to examine the body of Patriarch Nature in the mirror, and when he saw some parts of Patriarch Nature were blurry and some were not, he laughed and said with relief, “Seems like this mirror was not as strong as I imagined. I must have been overthinking.”

Zhong Yue replied with a smile, “How is that possible? Perhaps a precious item leaked out from the Emperor’s Tomb would also be quite challenging for this mirror.”

Meanwhile, one of the remaining five gods said, “Lord Dragon, there are five of us and together, you might be no match for us, so why all the fuss in helping Zhong Yue?”

Lord Dragon, however, ignored them, and he asked, “The mirror can’t identify the details of those items from the Emperor’s Tomb? So you have actually seen one?”

Zhong Yue replied, “I had the luck to see one, but not the luck to obtain one.”

Lord Dragon sighed and said again, “You are considered lucky enough to be able to see one in the first place.”

Shang Zhen, on the other side, smirked and said, “Lord Dragon, we are trying to reason with you, but aren’t you acting a little bit too arrogant? You think we are afraid of you? We just didn’t want to cause any extra damage!”

Lord Dragon frowned immediately while Kuafu Anshan said with a grin, “You dragons also entered Kun Lun Realm, and if you offended us, beware that we might not give you the chance to establish your own ground in Kun Lun!”

To their dismay, Lord Dragon turned around and burst out laughing, “I did not want to destroy the gods in the Ancestral Star nor offend any gods in Kun Lun. Back off right now, return to Kun Lun, and nothing will happen. Otherwise, I’m afraid that you might all die here!”

Suddenly, Shang Zhen swung her hands, using her sleeves as whips that struck towards Lord Dragon as she said, “How dare a spirit of a Deity Overlord act so arrogantly!”

As soon as she acted, the other gods were left with no options and they all unsheathed their divine weapons and charged towards Lord Dragon/”

Lord Dragon immediately raised his sword and laughed, “Zhong Yue, why not shine your mirror at Lord Demon?”

Zhong Yue then immediately faced his mirror towards the location of Lord Demon while Lord Dragon moved with a ghostly speed and pierced Shang Zhen with the Coiling Dragon Divine Sword, slicing her apart!

Another god beside her shrieked as a bloodied hole appeared on his forehead and he fell onto the ground!

Huang She God lost his cool immediately and roared angrily. He swung his divine weapon as he charged towards Lord Dragon. In the next moment, his vision started to spin as he spotted his own beheaded standing before him!

Kuafu Anshan, on the other hand, possessed ultimate strength that could perhaps shatter the heaven and earth; he relied on his incredible body and engaged with Lord Dragon in close combat. But suddenly, Lord Dragon’s sword had quickly struck Kuafu Anshan’s body a few thousand times.

Immediately, a cracking noise came from Kuafu Anshan’s body and he suddenly burst apart!

At this moment, Lord Dragon pulled his sword out from the last remaining god’s body and suddenly vanished from the spot and a figure could be seen running towards the Black Mountain’s altar; Lord Dragon was charging towards Lord Demon, and he performed a sword dance as he charged towards his target!

At the same time, the headless body of Huang She God suddenly creeped and a head grew out from the legs of his body and a pair of legs grew out from the neck before he lunged towards Zhong Yue!

As a twin headed godly snake, he survived even after one of his head was severed by Lord Dragon and now, he took his chance to launch a surprise attack on Zhong Yue!

Suddenly, Zhong Yue who was facing his back towards Huang She God said, “Huang She God, do you know why Lord Dragon didn’t kill you?”

“Why?” asked Huang She God as he quickly stopped his attack.

“Because he was wary of me and he wanted to have me killed through your hands.” replied Zhong Yue.

He continued the ritual, hurling the corpse of the gods into the altar to be sacrificed and he said calmly, “Through the mirror, Lord Dragon knew everything about you but he only cut off one of your heads just to keep you alive so that you could kill me while I was off guard. But it seems he was a little too naive in his thinking. You will be dead immediately once you attack me!”

Huang She God’s expression faltered immediately, and he quickly fled from the Black Mountain.

Meanwhile, Lord Dragon, who was attacking Lord Demon had already killed Tuz Bawk, threw his body into the altar. Upon seeing Huang She God run away, he frowned.

Huang She God did not take this chance to kill Zhong Yue, what a coward! Can’t he see that Zhong Yue was just pretending to be calm? Useless!

Lord Dragon was starting to feel uneasy toward Zhong Yue’s growth; Zhong Yue’s altar and ritual that bloodily sacrificed the gods and sealed the bloodline power of the other races were just way too astonishing. Along with the death of Lord Peng and the mirror, his growth was just too fast. Thus, Lord Dragon kept Huang She God alive so that he could kill Zhong Yue, but Huang She God was actually scared off by Zhong Yue.

Feng Wuji quickly led the other gods away as soon as Lord Dragon came charging out of the altar of Black Mountain. Huang She God quickly chased after them and he shouted, “High Priest Xiao, Gong Yang God! Hold up! We shall go to Swords Gate, kill Zhong Yue’s entire clan, force him away from the ritual to save his people!”

Gong Yang God and the other Kun Lun God quickly stopped running and their eyes brightened up.

Feng Wuji, however, immediately rejected this proposal and said, “We mustn’t! There are still a large amount of strong Qi Practitioners in Swords Gate! You will all die!”

His words fell onto deaf ears as Huang She God did not believe him, but instead, he smirked and said, “Lord Dragon is here, what else does Zhong Yue have left in Swords Gate? My hatred will not be calmed unless I destroy Swords Gate and kill his entire race!”

Then, Huang She God and the other two gods charged towards Swords Gate with lighting speed without saying anything more.

Feng Wuji bit his lips and he murmured with a grin, “So be it, you are all dead meat! Nothing can be done anymore now and seems like I have no place here on the Ancestral Star anymore. It is still possible for me to run away now…”
