Rise of Humanity

  Shang Qing’s skull was broken open and blood fountained out from the top of his head. A weird expression radiated across the dying man’s face, he was smirking as he said, “You still wouldn't be the next Western Mother Empress even if you killed all your competitors. You know why the empress gave me, Chi Qing, and everyone else the amnesty decree? Don’t you want to know why?”

  Chi Xue’s heart immediately turned bitter and she said softly, “I … don’t want to know.”

  She clenched on the hairpin and raised it up, killing Shang Qing in mid-air while she then spurted out a mouth of blood as well.

  She was also suffering from heavy injuries, but she has been suppressing them all so fought until the last second. With their biggest enemy taken down now, she couldn’t endure anymore and nearly fell from the sky.

  Zhong Yue also forcibly suppressed the blood that was rushing out from his throat. The battles had also inflicted damage on him.

  Su Domi had already escaped from the rocky planet when they were battling. He rushed out and disappeared in the starry space.

  Kua Fuding was also nowhere to be seen now. Zhong Yue then glanced around, he saw a cultivator falling down from the sky, it was Que Yan’er, and she was still alive!

  Zhong Yue attempted to rush over and kill her but was stopped by the sudden outbreak of his injuries. He quickly stopped and suppressed the injuries.

  He found signs of the wounds worsening, the totem patterns were heavily impaired and they shuddered his body, nearly shattering his mortal body apart!

  Whereas on the other end of the battlefield, there was also a demon lady, Fu Tixiang, lying on the ground without signs of her dead or alive.

  “We need to move now!” Chi Xue’s injuries were heavy as well, she suppressed her wounds before scavenging Shang Qing’s Yuan Shen secret realms, “We can’t stay here long. The gods will come sooner or later. We must leave before they arrive. Let’s go to the Kun Lun moons for now!”

  Zhong Yue nodded, but before he left, he raised his hand and slammed down to the ground.

  Krong——

  Five loud sounds could be heard as five mountains plummeted from the sky and crashed onto Fu Tixiang.

  Meanwhile, the divine third eye emerged on his forehead and a godly ray shot out at Que Yan’er. Suddenly, Zhong Yue muffled a groan and blood spurted out from his mouth as a wave of dizziness struck him.

  The godly ray shot out at the young lady who twisted her body as soon as she saw the incoming danger. But despite her effort, the godly ray still struck through her body and she crashed into the ground.

  As for whether or not she was killed by the strike, not even Zhong Yue was sure.

  After all, his injuries were too severe, and the godly ray wasn’t as strong as before.

  Peng Qianqiu escaped…

  Zhong Yue was panting for breath, he glanced around and couldn't find any sign of Peng Qianqiu. He frowned and then left with Chi Xue.

  He had killed way too many experts, this would surely cause a wave of commotion, and whether it was Kun Lun or A’thoer, the news would cause both realms tremble.

  There were nearly seven thousand Qi Practitioners that had entered the Returning Ruins, but only a handful of them survived.

  Su Domi was still alive but he has went out to the endless space, there wasn’t a guarantee he would live.

  Other than him, there was also Peng Qianqiu, Kua Fuding, Zhong Yue, Chi Xue and the missing Tian Wu cultivator. They all totaled up to fewer than ten in number.

  Zhong Yue and Chi Xue held one another up, they flew in the space toward the direction of Kun Lun.

  Soon, they saw a lone star floating in the endless space, the two of them instantly surged their arcane energy and pushed the little star toward Kun Lun.

  When the star’s speed had reached its limit, the two of them then quickly landed on the star and allowed it to carry them toward Kun Lun. But these actions caused her injuries to flare, making them both spurt out a mouthful of blood.

  Zhong Yue and Chi Xue then sat down quietly, taking out the divine herbs to treat their wounds.

  The two of them remained silent while doing so.

  After a long time, Zhong Yue finally brought his injuries under control, and he opened his eyes. Immediately, the scene of a young lady sitting on a huge rock with her legs tucked in and her arms curled around her knees came into his eyes.

  “Princess Chi Xue, how are your wounds?” Zhong Yue stood up and walked toward her.

  The young lady then quickly wiped away her tears, and she raised her head up with a smile on her face. She said, “They aren’t worsening anymore, but it’ll still take some time to fully recover.”

  “You cried,” Zhong Yue sat down and remarked.

  To Zhong Yue, Chi Xue was a warm and energetic young girl with a stubborn will. It l didn't in character of her to reveal her gentler side.

  The Western Mother Empire was a matriarchal empire. With Chi Xue being the most prominent heiress in such an environment, it was odd to see her cry.

  Chi Xue then saw his eyes, and the emotions she had been suppressing came flooding out again as tears rolled down her cheeks. She then buried her head into Zhong Yue’s chest and cried out loud.

  “Why… why didn’t she like me… I’ve worked so hard ever since I was a child, I wished so much for her to just caress my head, to feel her love and warmth… I’ve done so many things, I’ve been through so much … none of it was for the throne, I just wanted her acknowledgement! But why… she still didn’t liked me… Chi Qing, Chi Yu’er, Chi Yun’er, and even Shang Qing has her amnesty decree! What am I lacking that they're not…?”

  The young lady’s emotions poured out, she cried so hard that her body was shivering and her tears soaked Zhong Yue’s clothes.

  Zhong Yue kept silent, he hugged the young lady in his arms and had no idea what to do to comfort her. Suddenly, the young lady in his arms raised her head up and kissed his lips. She curled her arms around his body and held it tightly as if she was just a helpless little girl who was drowning.

  Zhong Yue’s mind went blank, his immediate reaction was to respond to her actions, and the young lady continued by tearing his clothes off. She pushed him down to the ground and began to ride him.

  Moments later, the little star started shuddering violently and was shattered into pieces.

  “Not that hard!” The young man of the Zhong Shan Clan implored.

  Chapter 477: Wild Ambition |

  In the rocky planet, a demon god arrived to the bloody battlefield, he looked around and frowned.

  Suddenly, his senses picked up an incredibly faint moan coming from the underground of five mountains. He flicked his finger and the five mountains crumbled into dust, they have disintegrated into the totem patterns and dispersed in thin air. As soon as the mountains were eradicated, the demon lady Fu Tixiang was revealed to be still alive underneath the mountains.

  The mountains were formed by Zhong Yue with the totem patterns, they weren’t true mountains and Zhong Yue was still a far distance away from actualizing real objects from his psyche. But it wasn’t an issue to imitate mountains with totem patterns.

  Back then when he launched the strike, Zhong Yue was way too heavily injured to do anything else.

  The injuries he was suffering were too great for him to cast any other stronger skills. Thus, he used the power of the five elements and formed the five finger mountains. The mountains were too weak to kill her instantly, but they were strong enough to trap her beneath. These mountains were formed in a way that they would grind Fu Tixiang’s cultivation base little by little and with every surge of energy faltered away from the demon lady, the five mountains would grow stronger. Eventually, they would siphon every last morsel of energy from Fu Tixiang before killing her.

  However, the arrival of the demon god had interrupted the plan.

  Seeing that there was still a survivor, the demon god has quickly rushed over and helped Fu Tixiang in suppressing her injuries,
he asked, “You are the disciple of the Fu Ti Saint Race? Where are the others? Su Domi?”

  Fu Tixiang spurted out a mouthful of blood, she didn’t even have the energy to grasp for breath. She laid powerlessly on the ground and rested for a few moments before shaking her head and answering, “Senior Martial Brother Su Domi has most probably escaped. The other senior martial siblings are … mostly all dead. I tried to survive by playing dead, he was already going to leave… I thought I could survive but he is too cautious, he has still formed the five finger mountains even in that situation … I nearly died… What about Senior Martial Sister Que Yan’er?”

  The demon god didn’t answer her, he raised his hand toward a direction and when Fu Tixiang looked over, she saw Que Yan’er lying on the ground lifelessly. The demon lady couldn’t escaped death in the end.

  Beside Que Yan’er, there were the five shattered light wheels, those were her Yuan Shen secret realms.

  “Who did all of this?” The demon god’s tone turned somber and his eyes became filled with killing intent.

  Immediately, the image of a young human appeared in Fu Tixiang’s mind, her body shivered. She quickly grit her teeth and answered, “He is a… fiend… a terrifying fiend….”

  …

  In space, a huge piece of the shattered little star was flying toward the far Kun Lun. Tens of days had passed and it was drawing nearer to Kun Lun.

  Zhong Yue stood up and revealed a muscular torso, his muscles were bulging out and yet, aligned perfectly. He lifted up his hands and his clothes flew toward him.

  Chi Xue has also stood up, her skin complexion wasn't too pale nor too dark, just right at a perfect blend of both. Her waist-length ebony hair covered most of her chest as her blouse flew up and covered her body.

  When her flawless toes were lifted up from the ground as she walked toward Zhong Yue, her shoes then flew over her feet as well.

  The two of them stood alongside each other, they watched the starry space as the shattered star carried them toward one of the moons that were orbiting the Kun Lun Realm. Zhong Yue glanced at the young lady whose arms were curled around his, and he thought with slight displeasure, She kept pushing me on the ground and having her way with me…

  Although he was irked, he still felt incredibly good. What had just happened was way too novel of an experience for him.

  But all of a sudden, Qiu Jin’er’s innocent countenance appeared in his mind, and a wave of guilt instantly washed over him.

  Junior martial sister is just right in my Yuan Shen secret realms, how can I do this…

  He then furtively peered into his Yuan Shen secret realms. Qiu Jin’er was still in her closed door training, while other than his junior martial sister, Ying Nu and the divine herbs were also in his Yuan Shen secret realms.

  Luckily, I closed the connection of the Yuan Shen secret realms to the outside world, they don't know what just happened. If Xin Huo suddenly wakes from his slumber, he will make a lot of noises again…, Zhong Yue suddenly felt grateful in his heart.

  Krong——

  The shattered star crashed on the moon surface and the two couples landed on the moon. They looked around and everything that came into vision was only a piece of greyish flatland. There were no signs of living things around nor were there any beasts.

  A desolate moon.

  While on the far end, there were the other moons orbiting around Kun Lun. Shining brightly in the ice-cold moon rays.

  “There was a god who resided here,” Chi Xue lead the way, and she said while smiling, “There was once a moon god that stayed here, there’s a moon palace just not far in front of us. However, during the last war we had with the A’thoer demon gods, she became the first line of defense and so was killed first in the demon invasion. The same thing happened for quite a few moon gods and soon enough, there weren’t any gods who were willing to come anymore. We will rest in the moon palace, when the Kun Lun gods are here for us, we will be able to go back to Kun Lun again.”

  Zhong Yue nodded. Soon, they arrived at the moon palace. There was dust everywhere and the palace was mostly devastated. It was really hard to imagine how grand the moon palace was in the ancient days.

  However, there were a few smaller palaces around that remained standing. The two of them then walked into one of the smaller palaces. There was no dust inside the palace and the picture engravings that depicted grandiose mob palace of the past.

  Zhong Yue and Chi Xue walked around. The two of them stayed in the palace and quietly treated the injuries inflicted on them during the clash of the gods.

  Thankfully, the both of them plundered many divine herbs. With the help of the divine herbs, they were able to recover the injuries without leaving any flaw in their body. However, it would still take some time for them to fully recover to their peak state.

  The Six Paths Fruit Tree should be in Kun Lun by already, shouldn’t it? Zhong Yue thought, It is very strong and even more, with the teleportation process disrupted, we weren’t teleported right back into Kun Lun. As such, it wouldn’t have to make up stories and hide its identities or going through the interrogations. With its prowess, sooner of later the Kun Lun will be trembling by its sudden appearance. There is also the Kua Fu expert Kua Fuding, he wouldn’t be strong enough to enter Kun Lun as well, he might be at one of the moons here as well. Whereas Peng Qiuqian… he must be hiding somewhere treating his wounds we well…

  Other than Kua Fuding, there was also the Tian Wu young cultivator. The eight little Golden Hous were really naughty, but it was an uncertainty whether or not they survived the clash.

  Zhong Yue’s face suddenly turned gloomy, he thought, Any other else is still fine, but this Peng Qianqiu must die! He has seen my【Mystic Infinite Transformation】, if he returns to the Ancestral Star, he will spread the word out and the whole world will know about it!

  Zhong Yue and Chi Xue were both quietly tending to their wounds before they suddenly found themselves back in the throes of passion. Thankfully, this was the moon palace and beneath it was the moon, it wouldn’t crack and shatter into pieces like that little star.

  After they finished up, Zhong Yue then felt guilty again. He felt like as though he has betrayed Qiu Jin’er, but not long later, he rolled on the ground with Chi Xue again, and the process continued to repeat itself for a few times.

  After tens of days, their injuries had recovered substantially. Chi Xue has on top of Zhong Yue’s chest. She smiled coquettishly as she said, “Young man of the Zhong Shan Clan, when I one day become the Western Mother Empress, you will be my man queen!”

  “Empress?”

  Zhong Yue turned his body and pressed her down onto the ground, he shook his head and said, “Even if you are the Western Mother Empress, I won't be your man queen. I’m not the husband of an empress, I am the emperor myself. At the least, I will be as honorable as your Western Mother Empress.”

  “The Western Mother Empire is a matriarchy, you want to be emperor? Then you will have to face the spears of our Western Mother Celestial Race!”

  Chi Xue clung her legs onto Zhong Yue’s waist and tried to flip him over, “But you have no idea how strong the Western Mother Celestial Race is. Thus, I will never be the wife of an emperor, but instead you will be the husband of an empress.”

  Zhong Yue then stood up, he wore the clothes and answered with a smile, “Why do I need to rely on your empire? You can be your Western Mother Empress and I can be my Eastern Father Emperor. I have no interest in the throne of your Western Mother Empire. Furthermore, don’t you think it’s still too early for you to speak of the Western Mother Empress?”

  “Eastern Father Emperor?”

  Chi Xue was startled, she then smiled and refuted, “It’s uncertain if you can become the Eastern Father Emperor, but I am definitely the Western Mother Empress.”

  Zhong Yue ran the thought through her mind, he then took out one of the Peaches of Immortality he received from the mother tree and tucked it into her hands. “This is from
the mother tree, I only have two. Take this and offer it to the empress.”

  Chi Xue then turned silent, she kept the Peaches of Immortality in her Yuan Shen secret realms and looked incredibly downspirited.

  Zhong Yue laughed as he said, “Also, don’t throw the seed away, the seed of the mother tree’s Peaches of Immortality can grow into another new divine tree. This is something the other Immortality Peach Tree can’t do.”

  Chi Xue gave a long sigh and gave a warm bright smile, “You gave me the Peaches of Immortality, does that mean you are leaving Kun Lun?”

  Zhong Yue nodded, he said with a smile, “I can’t stay here forever, and my actions in the Returning Ruins will sooner or later be known to the Kun Lun gods.”

  Way too many experts were killed by him in the Returning Ruins. This included even the Kun Lun Qi Practitioners such as Chi Qing, Chi Yue’er, Shang Qing and the others.

  While Peng Qianqiu and Kua Guding were still alive, they would definitely spread the word out, and that would put him in a very precarious position.

  Chi Xue nodded silently, she took out a totem pillar and said, “I’ll contact the phoenix race and they will send you out of Kun Lun.”

  Soon, a phoenix god flew out from the Pure Yang lightning zone, she came to the moon palace and brought the two of them back into Kun Lun. They arrived right on the Nacre Lake, and the two of them proceeded to take a rest in Chi Xue’s palace.

  Chi Xue whispered to him, “Wait here for awhile, I’ll go get the Teleportation Golden Tablet and send you back to the Ancestral Star.”

  After some time, the young lady came back, she handed a golden tablet and an incense stick to Zhong Yue. Just as she was going to say something, her face suddenly changed and she whispered softly at him, “Hide for awhile. Western Mother Empress is here.”

  Zhong Yue then quickly moved to the back hall of the palace. Right as he hid himself in the shadows, footsteps could be heard moving into the palace. Western Mother Empress and her servant maids had arrived in Chi Xue’s palace.
