Rise of Humanity

  Before his voice could even faded away, twelve bones shot out from the Zhong Yue’s chest and as he slightly bowed his body, countless skeleton gods appeared along with a Tai Chi altar. At the next split second, a gigantic hole appeared on the bell and the bell flew right at the Bell Master.

  Shocked and caught off guard, the Bell Master tried to receive the deflected bell but he only ended up suffering injuries that sent him flying backwards with his bell.

  Then, Zhong Yue hurled an attack towards the bell from afar, sending his energy into the bell that melted the bell and minutes later, apart from his head, the body of the Bell Master disintegrated with his bell!

  At the same time, the twelve bones that flew out from Zhong Yue’s chest turned into various weapons; some turned into sabers, swords and some even turned into skeleton dragons, the Starry Toad and the Golden Crow that pierced through the head of the Qi Practitioners from the Prison Realm or splitting their body into half before devouring them.

  In the barrage of attacks, twelve shrieks sounded at the same time in the fog of war and when the dust settled, only two followers remained standing at the same spot cluelessly.

  After killing the twelve followers, the bone suddenly merged together and turned into a huge bone cage that trapped the remaining two.

  In an instant, this bone cage ignited and from the bars of the cage came twelves fiery dragons that burnt the two followers to ash.

  From Zhong Yue’s eyes then came the Yin and Yang Qi that morphed into dragons, crushing the ancient scrolls of the Book Master as the Book Master charged up energy to unleash a powerful attack!

  Before the Book Master could even recover from the shock of having his soul weapon destroyed, he saw Zhong Yue’s hand swing towards him with the Tai Chi Art in his hand.

  The Book Master quickly raised his hand in an attempt to fend off Zhong Yue’s attack, but in no time, he had realized that resistance was futile; his hands were twisted grostequely and he was then dragged into the palm of Zhong Yue’s hand as if he were about to be swallowed alive.

  Zhe—-

  A sword flew out from nowhere and with lightning speed, the Book Master’s arms were severed from his body. It was the Sword Master! In that extreme moment, the Sword Master had no choice and no time to figure a better way to save the Book Master so he decisively severed the Book Master’s hands.

  Just when the Book Master felt slightly relieved and wanted to back off, Zhong Yue appeared in front of him and kicked onto the Book Master’s chest, causing a hole to burst open in it and sending him flying away.

  But things did not end just like that. While he was still in the air, Zhong Yue continued kicking him non-stop until the Book Master’s ribs were broken into tiny fragments that went on to eviscerate his internal organs.

  When he finally fell onto the ground, the Book Master tried to stand up again but only managed to fall back down onto the ground.

  Meanwhile, the long brush of the Picture Master arrived and struck Zhong Yue. But instead of dealing any damage to Zhong Yue, he remained unscathed and let out a gutteral shout, the sound wave impacted the Picture Master so severely that blood started flowing out of all the orifices on his face. The Picture Master however, endured the pain as she drew a sun and moon that unleashed a blazing fire and freezing blizzard onto Zhong Yue.

  She then quickly backed off to gain a clearer view, but to her horror, the sun and moon she drew was absorbed into Zhong Yue’s eyes and the disastrous nature attack of hers disipated just like that.

  In the next second, Zhong Yue stabbed his hand into the void, raising the guard of the Picture Master and prompting her to swing her brush around to prepare for an incoming back.

  Dang dang dang—-

  Loud noises sounded out as bone fingers stabbed out from the void, knocking onto her brush until she her hand had gone completely numb.

  Then, she finally failed to defend every attack, resulting in her receiving an ever-increasing number of injuries as she continued to fight with Zhong Yue.

  The other divine swords of the Sword Master arrived quickly after and they flew straight towards Zhong Yue’s head while the Zither Master played her zither loudly, unleashing deadly sound waves that struck towards Zhong Yue.

  A meta magnet divine ray came charging out from the Zhong Yue’s head and turned into a huge tower bell that altered the course of the flying swords and had them sucked onto the bell.

  Ding ding ding—-

  The swords rained down onto the bell but his bell was stronger and tougher than the Bell Master’s for the sword of the Sword Master failed to even leave a mark onto the bell.

  The bell then suddenly flipped over and the bell mouth faced directly at the Zither Master as Zhong Yue rang his bell with his psyche so loud that overwhelmed the sound wave of the Zither Master.

  The Zither Master was struck so hard that she temporarily lost her senses and before she could recover, Zhong Yue delivered a punch onto her zither, broke it into pieces and the broken strings of the zither pierced through her body before stabbing deep into the broken zither.

  When the Zither Master tried to unshackle herself from the zither strings, the Shao Hao Bell of Zhong Yue rang again and the petite body of the Zither Master exploded. In the blood pool, the Yuan Shen of the Picture Master tried to escape immediately after seeing no hope in defeating Zhong Yue and she went straight to the dimension in the sky.

  “Not bad, you actually managed to take on a few hits from me head on.”

  That was the time when Zhong Yue’s voice sounded in the brain of everyone and they saw him raising his hand above his head with the Solar Divine Saber in his hand. Then, he swung his saber downwards and unleashed an attack that clashed with the countless divine swords of the Sword Master.

  The saber and swords met and the next thing they know, the Sword Master flew backwards with blood all over his body.

  Zhong Yue pointed his finger at the Sword Master’s forehead who quickly raised his hands to cover his forehead but without him realizing, a jade bone finger stabbed right into his hands!

  With the remaining four fingers flicked towards the Sword Master, Zhong Yue immediately opened up another four holes in the Sword Master’s body.

  Meanwhile, the Yuan Shen of the Picture Master shrieked as she tried to escape, the Bell Master’s head flew straight toward the dimension in the air while the other masters hurriedly fled from the scene as well.

  But Zhong Yue was already at the side of the cracked dimension at the time when the head of the Bell Master and Yuan Shen of the Zither Master barely arrived at the cracked dimension.

  Without hesitation, the two of them quickly escaped the scene through the cracked dimension.

  Whereas for the Sword Master, Book Master and the Picture Master who was slightly slower, they felt that all hopes were lost when the exit was cut off by ZHong Yue.

  On the cracked dimension were the seals they planted down, seals that allow them to enter and exit this realm as they wish and whoever wish to pass through the dimension will have to go through them.

  But now, with a simple gesture, Zhong Yue had effortlessly torn apart the seals and started squeezing right through the dimension.

  On the outside, there was a gigantic palace, and within, there was a waterfall where the cracked dimension located.

  Just as the Bell Master and Zither Master escaped from the dimension, they immediately saw a huge head trying to squeeze out from the dimension and the waves turned into a skeleton image.

  “The skeleton king is breaking free from the seal!” screamed the Zither Master as she completely lost her cool.

  “No! He won’t make it!” replied the Bell Master, “Those living beings of the realm will never be able to get out no matter how strong they are! Don’t worry, Zither Master.”

  On the surface of the waterfall, Zhong Yue’s face could be seen roaring angrily as no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't breach through the thin layer of invisible barrier and get to the ou
tside world!

  He slammed so hard onto the barrier that his strength trembled the gigantic palace and the two masters on the outside felt terrified.

  “Ridiculous! How is there someone so scary like him in an imbecile realm like that! What happened!”

  “Thank god he couldn't get out….” said the Bell Master as he let out a breath of relieve.

  “Why! Why can’t I get out!”

  This was the message the two masters felt as their psyche touched with Zhong Yue’s. In an instant, they felt immense hatred, restless anger and relentless despair from Zhong Yue.

  The Bell Master and Zither Master exchanged glances as the body of the Bell Master slowly regenerated for he clearly cultivated a technique similar to the immortal body.

  He then sneered, “Zither Master, without a proper body, you will be dead sooner or later so instead of benefitting the others, why don’t you benefit me….”

  Right away, the horrid Zither Master tried to run away but suddenly, the expression of Zhong Yue calmed down and he said, “My friends, did you forget that I said that today in the next year will be your death anniversary?”

  Now, the Bell Master was consumed with fear aswell and he ran away immediately.

  Huuu—-

  The water from the waterfall stopped flowing immediately as a huge hand made out of water emerged from the water, turned into a huge banner that sucked the Yuan Shen of the two masters right into the banner.

  Then, silence engulfed the surrounding as the hand disappeared and the skeleton face vanished.

  Chapter 662: Blood Bone Evil God |

  In the Bone Realm, Zhong Yue only stood there just like that on the rainbow bridge. The light on the rainbow bridge gradually faded away and little by little, the cracked dimension in the skies disappeared, but Zhong Yue did not even move at all.

  Behind Zhong Yue, the remaining horrified masters did not dare to move a finger at all.

  Zhong Yue’s cape that was in sync with his mood fluttered vigorously; the masters could tell that the monster standing right in front of them was not happy at all.

  “I still can’t get out.” Zhong Yue murmured.

  After trying all kinds of ways and every extreme measure, he still couldn't get of out this realm; there was some kind of unseen yet extraordinary power attached to him, dragging him back and blocking the path off whenever he tried to fly toward the outside.

  This power was also tearing his skeleton body apart, ripping his Yuan Shen and sucking his energy when he tried to escape.

  And such was the power of Dao, the heaven and earth rules that were stopping him from leaving!

  If so, how would it be possible for him to get out?

  Not only that, but whenever he tried to escape through the dimension, there was this barrier of the void that completely sealed off his path and that refused to break no matter how hard Zhong Yue tried.

  He even felt that it was impossible to get out even if his strength were a hundred, or even a hundred thousand times greater.

  Unless he possessed strength powerful enough to destroy this entire realm and burn it into ashes, he had no avenue of escape.

  But this was something not even someone like the Prison Realm’s Realm Lord could do, let alone Zhong Yue.

  Time slowly passed and after a long time, the cape behind Zhong Yue stopped calmed down.

  But the fear within the masters amplified as they felt that the calm in Zhong Yue was exactly just like the calm before the storm.

  “Ok. I have three questions for all of you.” Zhong Yue said as he turned around, “How long has it been on the outside world?”

  “How long has it been on the outside world?” The masters murmured and suddenly, they looked at Zhong Yue with a terrified expression and the Picture Master who first reacted in time lost her voice and shouted, “You are not a from this world! You are just like us, you are also a Qi Practitioner from the Prison Realm!”

  Zhong Yue then slowly nodded his head and patiently awaited for them to answer his first question.

  The masters were all dumbfounded at the fact that this skeleton king was also a Qi Practitioner from the Prison Realm and how he still managed to cultivate into such level after he was turned into such a lowly being upon entering this world!

  “It has been seven years and two months on the outside world.” The Book Master answered obediently.

  “Hmmm, the time flow is slightly different, I have been here for seventy two years but it has only been seven years and two months on the outside. The ancient beings that researched the Six Path Reincarnation had probably altered the time flow here to speed up their research.” Zhong Yue murmured before he asked again, “Then why are you not being guided away from this place by the Realm Lord and Heavenly King Shang?”

  On the other hand, the masters kept on coughing and they did not feel good because of their wounds. They tried to suppress the wounds but Zhong Yue’s attacks were just too strong; while he inflicted physical wounds to the masters, he also carved his totem carvings onto their body and they would have to remove the totem carvings first before they could proceed to treat their wounds.

  The Sword Master panted and he said, “From what I concluded, the time flow outside is different to this place. We have probably only been here for seven days and there is still twenty eight days more until the guides arrive.”

  “Is that so? Then I still have time, there is still some time for me!”

  Zhong Yue then raised his head and said calmly to the trio, “Now, I’ll offer you two choices. Choice number one, stay here with me and live. Choice number two, leave this realm now but you will have to die in the world outside.”

  The heart of the masters thumped at the offer given by Zhong Yue immediately.

  The Sword Master bit his lips and after he made up his mind, he said with a sore voice, “I choose to die on the outside. Senior martial brother, the two ladies you captured just now are my followers.”

  “Get out right now, I’ll have them follow close behind you later.” Zhong Yue replied coldly.

  The Picture Master then voiced out her decision as well, “I choose to die outside! At least there is still hope if I die outside! Staying here will have no hope at all and all I can do is slowly wait until my soul got corroded and fade away!”

  The Book Master said coldly, “Skeleton King! We can still reborn and gain a chance to start all over again if we die outside but you, you will be trapped here eternally, live on as a skeleton that knows no pain, no feels and no emotion! In your eyes, there would be no more colours and you could never feel anything when you touched something!”

  He wanted to say something else again but before a word could even come out from his mouth, Zhong Yue opened his palm, released the two ladies and said emotionlessly, “Now, hop on the train to your next life.”

  The five of them immediately flew towards the cracked dimension that was slowly disappearing and as soon as they got out, they saw another few Qi Practitioners that tried to enter the dimension. As someone who had some empathy, the Picture Master said, “Don’t go in! There is a terrifying monster in there!”

  But one of these Qi Practitioners was already halfway into the dimension and before he completely enter the realm, he said, “It’s just an abandoned low class world, what is there to be afraid of?

  At the next moment, a head was thrown out from the cracked dimension and it slowly rolled to the side of the newly arrived Qi Practitioners.

  Together, the Qi Practitioners shivered and they gulped silently.

  In such a short time, this expert had been killed and even had his head severed from his neck!

  “What kind of monster dares to kill my junior martial brother!”

  One of them was enraged greatly and he quickly squeezed into the dimension only to have a glance on the other size before his head was severed off by a skeleton donned in a blood red cape.

  At the back, the Qi Practitioners quickly dragged his body back to the outside and they real
ized the body was a headless body.

  Then, the headless body started to twitch and a head grew out from the neck again. The Qi Practitioner then quickly shouted to call for aid, “There is a powerful devilish god inside!”

  “With that many Qi Practitioners here, we might be able to get out alive!”

  Right away, the same thoughts appeared in the mind of the five and they quickly fled away at the same time.

  Zhe zhe—-

  A conjured saber made of water could be seen flying out from the waterfall and five heads fell onto the ground.

  From the waterfall came another banner that waved at the five heads before five Yuan Shen was absorbed into the banner.

  Then, the saber and the banner disappeared without a trace and on the ground were five corpses.

  In the gigantic palace, the Qi Practitioners were struck with fear and for a moment, they froze at the same spot before they scattered away from the scene quickly.

  In no time, this incident was spread across the entire Ancient Land of Gods Graves like wildfire.

  Rumours had it that a blood skeleton donned with red capes hid himself within this realm in the waterfall, the skeleton had a height that reached the skies and he had the entire realm within his grasp. It was said that this skeleton played with the sun and moon like toys and he would kill any Qi Practitioners that entered his realm, marinating them before eating their corpses after removing their heads.

  Meanwhile, in the Bone Realm, Zhong Yue thought, With my strength now, I may not be able to leave but once the power of Six Paths and Reincarnation have merged together, I would be able to get out for sure!

  Zhong Yue took in a deep breath while the rainbow bridge under his legs disappeared.

  “Hail Skeleton King! Long live our king!” The countless devout skeleton followers chanted upon seeing the demons retreat from the outer world.

  Among cheers, Zhong Yue got into his golden carriage and along with the skeletons, he returned to the Pale Bone Courtyard.

  The time is near, it is time for me to head back to the Pale Bone Palace! This time, I must get out for sure!
