Rise of Humanity

Chapter 959: A Shout of Dao, The Shocked Crowd

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In this Secular World, Zhong Yue was struck with a bout of dizziness and could clearly feel the incoming danger. Not only that, but the Daos in his body were suddenly messed up. There was also a strong sense of sadness and sorrow that consumed his heart. His mind was troubled, his thoughts went haywire, his Yuan Shen slumbered, his life essence draining, and all kinds of negative effects were coming in.

His eyes were twisted, his mouth uncontrollably opened, his pupils rolling unnaturally and his vision became unfocused.

His skills were no longer had their usual magnificence; his body turned heavier and heavier. It was as if his mortal body and Yuan Shen were both infected by serious plagues or diseases. Unbearable pain and agony consumed him, he could even sense his mortal body slowly dying!

He was feeling the bitterness in him, his Dao heart was on the verge of collapsing, he couldn’t even raise a single thought of resisting imminent death!

At this instant, he had sunk into the horrible truth of aging, waning, and dying. His Yuan Shen, mortal body, psyche, Daos, and even skills were all receding. Even his luck and fortune!

He had seen the death gods, their mortal bodies aging, their Daos waning, their essences draining; it was similar to him now, even more, the process he was going through was far faster than them!

The evil spirits included the Plague Spirit, War Spirit, Death Spirit, Poor, Pain, Sadness, Sorrow, Agony, Ugliness, Unfortunate, Disaster, and more.

When these spirits fell into the bodies of the postnate living beings, they would become the innate spirit bodies like the Innate Curse Spirit Body, War Spirit Body, Plague Spirit Body, Death Spirit Body, and many more.

And the source and origin of these spirits, was the Innate Evil Monarch!

The Innate Evil Monarch created the [Evil Tome] and gathered all of the evil spirits’ powers, including all into it. All of it, the five signs of death, pain, agony, death, plague, unfortunes, everything!

What was happening now was one of the [Evil Tome]’s uses.

All of the unfortunates, the plagues, disasters, pain, sorrow…

Innate Evil Monarch once used the [Evil Tome] and brought the whole universe to the verge of death, even a few monarchs were killed and eaten by him!

Throughout the history of time, his evil had left a deep mark. There was even a period of time, he was known as the Heavenly Monarchs’ nemesis during their dying days!

There was no one he wouldn’t kill and eat, he would reap the luck and fortunes of the living beings, including that of the Heavenly Monarchs. His malice was capable of scaring even the mightiest warriors. Back then, he even forced the strongest presence in the old days to chase him around the universe, trying to kill him!

And now, Zhong Yue finally had a firsthand taste of the [Evil Tome]. He was in this strange Secular World. Although he knew Zhu Xie was near, although he knew he would die at anytime now and be eaten by Zhu Xie, he couldn’t see Zhu Xie’s whereabouts, he couldn’t hear Zhu Xie’s voice, he had no sense of smell, hearings, taste… nothing.

He could only lash his skills out at all directions, casting his strongest skills to prevent Zhu Xie from coming close!

But strangely enough, the skills that were lashed out were simply unpredictable. Sometimes, the skills were incredibly weak and sometimes, they were incredibly strong. And the skills that were incredibly strong would oftentimes somehow get reflected back to him instead.

Zhong Yue spurted out a mouthful of blood, his eyes dimmed with no focus. He looked around but Zhu Xie was still nowhere to be found. His skills were also just lashed out randomly around the place, some even acted on himself.

But he still couldn’t use his strongest skill yet, he still didn’t dare to let his guard down; else, it’d be his death.

Blood was all over his body, but Zhu Xie was still missing. The wounds on him were all from his own skills.

It was such a bizarre scene to watch. In truth, Zhu Xie was just there, stood unmovingly as he watched Zhong Yue harm himself!

“The outcome has been decided…”

Outside of the Heavenly Deity Altar, Demon Monarch Yang Hou sighed quietly and shook, “Once the [Evil Tome] is used, the results of the battle has already been decided. Back then, when I first saw the [Evil Tome], I knew already I couldn’t counter it. Now it seems, it still remains unbeatable.”

The [Evil Tome].

Such an evil cultivation art. Zhu Xie was an innate evil god born from the worship of the evil creatures. He inherited Innate Evil Monarch’s cultivation heritage, and had now shown the universe its fangs once more!

Celestial Monarch Jin Wu frowned and so did the other strong and ancient presences. The [Evil Tome] was too evil, even they don’t think they could crack it.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian abruptly said, “Your Majesty, the winner has been decided. Zhu Xie may stop now.”

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming smiled but didn’t answer. On the side, Ghost Master Gui Youming smiled and said, “Imperial Emperor, you don’t know this before but now you will. Zhu Xie is His Majesty’s junior martial brother. Although the junior should respect the senior, His Majesty doesn’t order him around much even in the usual days. Moreover, Zhu Xie was the Bi Luo Palace’s innate gods, he is Heaven’s disciple. Although His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, there is no reason for His Majesty to have him stop now, is there?”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s face darkened right away while King Shen Wuwei smiled also, “When Zhu Xie eats Mister Yi, he will stop naturally. Imperial Emperor, be at ease.”

Celestial Emperor Jin Wu hesitated for a second, then he saw at the audience seat that Hundun Yu had taken out a mirror and recorded the scene, he thought,?Did Hundun mistakenly seeing wrongly? I wonder if this human will die here? If Hundun has mistaken the wrong person and I’ve too, my future will still be a dead end…

On the seat, Yin Fukang’s face changed drastically, he stood up abruptly but just before he was to save his son-in-law, Yin Fanxuan suddenly stopped him and she whispered, “Father, be patient.”

“My son-in-law is dying!” Yin Fukang was enraged, “Patience my head! You can only be a consort once you remarry after he dies!”

Yin Fanxuan was between laughter and tears, and she comforted, “Husband is not yet at his full power. Father, please be patient.”

Yin Fukang didn’t know to trust or not, he wanted to sit but was too afraid Zhong Yue would be eaten by Zhu Xie. Thus, he was in an awkward position of half squatting half sitting, readied to bolt out.

In the Heavenly Deity Altar, in the evil Secular World, Zhong Yue was still lashing skills out as if he was fighting an invisible enemy. The innate meat wings, the Wings of Time, the innate divine saber, the [Nine Steps Plough], and other skills were all cast out. And as time passed, the skills were cast out of order, in a random sequence that didn’t make sense anymore.

More wounds were added, even his Immortal Body was affected by the Secular World and was aging away.

His hairs turned grey, his face became full of wrinkles, his skin dried, and his life essence was slipping away.

Zhu Xie smirked frigidly as he strode into the Secular World. Reaching his hand out to the back and snapped out a bone spike, he went straight toward Zhong Yue.

Now, it was time to reap the fruit of victory, time to kill and feast.

He could easily eat Zhong Yue and absorb the dying human’s lucks and fortunes, siphon his essences, devour his cultivation base and make himself stronger!

But all of a sudden, Zhong Yue stopped.

Zhu Xie was startled, he too quickly stopped.

Even a trapped beast would still resist to its death, let alone an expert. He mustn’t let his guard down!

Zhong Yue stood there quietly, his face was in tranquil.

“Dao!”

Suddenly, he shouted. His voice was still loud but lack energy. Clearly, his current state was much weaker than his peak now.

Wong—

A soft buzzing sound could be heard. A light wheel quietly glowed behind his head. It was the projection of power from his Yuan Shen. It too, was now weaker than its peak, not as bright, not as marvelous.

Zhong Yue shouted for six times. Every six ‘Dao” that came out of his mouth contained a different frame of mind. Six light wheels revolved behind him, buzzing as they were slicing the evil Secular World.

“No use.”

Demon Monarch Yang Hou shook, “To cut open this evil Secular World with the Yuan Shen secret realms is impossible…”

“Dao!”

The seventh ‘Dao’ was spoken, and the crowd was plunged into chaos. The Heavenly Monarch abruptly stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief as he glared into the Heavenly Deity Altar.

Even the always calm and tranquil Mister Bi Luo was shocked, he turned his neck around and looked at Zhong Yue.

Huala——

The millions of gods, from the Deity Overlords to the Imperial Emperors all stood up from their seats. Some even flipped or crashed the tables in front of them, some shattered the seats beneath them, some were choked by the foods and beverages they were consuming, but all were staring down at the same direction – the Heavenly Deity Altar!

It was at this moment, only a few slow-witted ones were still hadn’t reacted, they didn’t even realize what had happened that caused the Heavenly Monarch to stand.

The seventh shout of ‘Dao’ was still reverberating in the world inside the Heavenly Deity Altar and in their ears. Another light wheel emerged behind Zhong Yue’s head, it was the seventh light wheel, and thus, the seventh Yuan Shen secret realm!

It was dim, not as bright as the other six. But its appearance had greatly boosted the other six’s performance, causing them to enlarge crazily. The space around him shuddered violently and with the clarion sound of a mirror breaking, the seven light wheels sliced the evil Secular World into two!

Zhu Xie quickly rushed forward, the bone spike in his hand was shot out at Zhong Yue.

Dong, dong, dong—?

While he was bolting forward, he was also plucking down the other bone spikes on his body and lunged them toward Zhong Yue.

But the distance between him and Zhong Yue was just growing bigger as if there was an impossible range of distance between them!

The huge bone spikes traveled in the space, but was far still from reaching Zhong Yue. It was as if Zhong Yue was moving backward at the same speed as the bone spikes, the distance between them would always be the same.

However, it was of course, just a false appearance. Zhong Yue was still standing there, he didn’t move at all. But the effect was due to the opening of his seventh Yuan Shen secret realm?— the Space Secret Realm.

The opening of this secret realm had placed countless layers of space in front of him. This has ceased all possibility of Zhu Xie’s attacks from getting close to him!

Zhu Xie roared and he grew faster, crashing through the space barriers and rushing forward but their distances were still just growing further apart.

“Dao.”

Zhong Yue was placid, as he spoke the eighth ‘Dao’.

Outside of the Heavenly Deity Altar, a series of rumbles and exclaims resounded the Heaven Court. Heavenly Monarch, Jin Wu, Yang Hou, and the other monarchs have all nearly jumped up from the floor.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s face was also darker than anyone has ever seen, his fists clenched tight.

But there wasn’t an eighth light wheel that emerged behind Zhong Yue. There were only two sabers that appeared in his hands. It was then, the crowd knew he wasn’t saying ‘Dao’, but ‘Dao’

[TN: Saber has the same pronunciation]

Zhong Yue’s Innate Eight Trigrams opened around him. The Daos turned into marvelous totem patterns, revealing complex patterns.

As the sabers were brought down, they left a trail of stunning light in their wake. The sabers were the Saber of Space and the Saber of Time, condensed from his Space and Time Dao!

The two divine sabers were slashed down and the saber lights disappeared as if they were hidden into the space.

Zhu Xie’s heart thumped rapidly. He quickly stopped and the 33 Layers Heavens emerged behind him followed by the evil Secular World that sheltered him inside!

All of a sudden, the saber lights emerged around Zhu Xie, from the sky, from the sides, and from beneath. Countless saber lights covered Zhu Xie inside!

The 33 Layers Heavens crumbled into pieces, followed by the evil Secular World. The saber rays had?slashed through the evil Secular Worlds and perforated it!

“Your Majesty, the winner has been decided. You may stop the battle now.” Goddess Queen Monarch suddenly said.

Rays flashed across Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s eyes and he said, “King Yi, the winner has been decided. You may stop now.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian didn’t see the eight light wheel and his fists relaxed. He heard the Heavenly Monarch and laughed, “Your Majesty, you just said you couldn’t order Zhu Xie to stop the battle, why go back on your words now?”

“His Majesty can’t order Zhu Xie, not King Yi.” King Shen Weihu laughed, “King Yi is His Majesty’s subject, of course he has to listen. King Yi, why don’t you stop still?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

In the Heavenly Deity Altar, Zhong Yue bowed and the two divine sabers were returned to him before disappearing into the seven light wheels behind him.

Huala—

Zhu Xie suddenly broke down into pieces, the body of this innate evil god was shattered, lacerated into many parts.
