Rise of Humanity

  The Qing He Skiff sailed nearer to the light dot and finally, they were able to get a clear view of it. It wasn’t the Reincarnation Burial Ground but a region of strange-looking galaxies.

  Stars gathered and flow like a stream of river with galaxies roaming around the huge river. From far, the star river and galaxies looked like an ancient vine and vine leaves. They were so lively as if a vine was really growing in this land of nothingness.

  Furthermore, in the center of the galaxies was an ancient continental with a bizarre shape. From their view, it looked like a coffin with its lid opened.

  The vine-looking galaxies rooted from the coffin as if it was grown out of it.

  Ling Zishou opened up an ancient star map and looked. The star map drew a coffin similar to the one before them, but in greater details.

  “The Reincarnation Burial Ground is in the shape of a ten-layer coffin since its birth. The nine-layer coffin is the burial standards for the monarchs and the ten-layer coffin is reserved for the cosmos’s living beings.”

  Ling Zishou pointed at the star map and said, “One layer is a Heavens each. The Reincarnation Burial Ground has ten layers, the tenth Heavens is the most dangerous of them all. My grand ancestor is born from the corpse of a monarch buried in the ninth Heavens. He is the condensation of the dead monarch’s soul and spirit and born in the dead monarch’s body as a corpse demon.”

  The experts were shocked. Diling Clan’s grand ancestor was an ancient monarch with shocking talent during Dao Venerate Fu Min’s era, but they didn’t know he was actually a corpse demon born from a dead monarch’s body!

  Feng Wuji said, “King Yi will not come here without a solid reason. There must be something he wants here. Time will not wait for us, we should move now!”

  Then, the Qing He Skiff headed straight for the Reincarnation Burial Ground. Before they reach, their faces have changed drastically as they felt their cultivation base and arcane energy fading from their senses and their skills sealed from them. Not only that, but the Qing He Skiff was also lost control and tumbled toward the Reincarnation Burial Ground!

  Krong——

  Qing He Skiff crashed through a mountain and landed on the ground, plowing through miles of land behind.

  Among them all, only Ling Zishou’s cultivation base and arcane energy were still functional as he was seen quietly hovering in midair. Clearly, he was the only one who could still use his prowess.

  The experts helped themselves up from the dirt awkwardly. They were all high and respected figures in their races and reputational experts. They’d be mocked by the others if their current state was made known publicly.

  Feng Wuji cleared his throat, he said, “The Reincarnation Burial Ground sure is strange. It’s nothing like we’ve expected, that is why this happened. But even King Yi will end up the same just like us.”

  The experts felt much better after he said that.

  There were mists around them, hindering their sights. They could also vaguely hear some eerie howls around them. Whereas the ground was filled with broken bones and skeletal frames of unknown beasts.

  “Be careful, protect your mortal body and don’t let any Yin demons invade your body!”

  Ling Zishou grew anxious, he shouted, “The dead souls here will turn into Yin demons that feed on living souls and possess living bodies!”

  Feng Wuji glanced around, he asked puzzlingly, “Where are the Yin demons?”

  “Just beside you people!” Ling Zishou shouted.

  Immediately, the experts could feel their foreheads getting itchy as if something were trying to drill their way into their bodies. They were all shocked and looked around but still couldn’t see anything!

  “Quickly, cast your Six Paths Reincarnation!” Ling Zishou said, “There is the Hell Reincarnation in the Six Paths Reincarnation, you have all cultivated it right? Only by casting the Hell Reincarnation can you see the Yin demons! You can also cast your arcane energy and skills through the Hell Reincarnation!”

  The experts quickly followed his instructions. Light wheels emerged behind them and instantly, ghost fires could be seen burning all around them.

  The experts were shocked as they finally saw the Yin demons. They were creatures with long tongues, licking on the experts’ foreheads, and some already have their tongues inside of their foreheads!

  These creatures were bizarre in looking, each different from the other. Some have eyes all over their bodies, some grew with many pairs of hands, some have mouths all across the bodies and some with many different faces!

  “They are in my Yuan Shen secret realms!”

  Suddenly, an innate god shout in fear while countless creatures sneaked into his Yuan Shen secret realms and started devouring his secret realms into pieces!

  Ling Zishou quickly shouted, “Don’t panic! These are just low-level Yin demons! The Reincarnation skills will suffice in killing them!”

  The experts quickly cast their own Reincarnation skills and killed the Yin demons. In the process, they felt their Yuan Shen grew slightly stronger and were stunned by their findings/

  Ling Zishou was guarding Feng Wuji, he said, “Mister Wuji is not an Imperial Emperor yet, you should have yet to cultivate the Hell Reincarnation, yes? Stay with me, I have the bloodline of the burial ground in me, these Yin demons will not dare come close to me.”

  Feng Wuji heaved a breath of relief, then he frowned and asked, “Only the Imperial Emperors can cultivate the Hell Reincarnation?”

  Ling Zishou nodded, “The Imperial Emperors have cultivated the Secular Worlds into the Heavens. In the Six Paths of the cultivated Heavens, includes the Hell Reincarnation.”

  Feng Wuji’s eyes suddenly turned to the 25 innate gods that followed him here, his voice was quivering as he said, “Elder Luo, some more than ten of you have not yet cultivated into the level of Imperial Emperors, right?”

  Elder Luo was startled, he said, “There are 13 junior martial siblings who haven’t cultivated into the level of Imperial Emperors. Mister Wuji, why do you ask?”

  “Which 13 Dao friends?” Feng Wuji quickly said, “Quickly, come to the side of Senior Martial Brother Zishou!”

  Just as he finished, one of the innate gods sniggered eerily and slammed her palm on Elder Luo’s chest, injuring Elder Luo into spurting out a mouth of blood.

  “Flesh! Delicious flesh!”

  The female innate god opened her mouth wide while her skins cracked and mouths appeared all over her body. She lunged toward Elder Luo and gnawed down on him!

  Whereas the other 12 innate gods also sniggered eerily. One of them suddenly grew eyes out all over his body, another one grew many pairs of hands, and another one had bone spikes growing out of every joint. They have all turned into strange-looking creatures and rushed toward Feng Wuji and the others!

  Yin demons have occupied the bodies of these innate gods. Those eyes, bone spikes, hands, and mouths were the Yin demons!

  “Kill them!” Feng Wuji gave the order as he shouted.

  “The creatures of the Reincarnation Burial Ground are really bizarre.”

  Above the Reincarnation Burial Ground, in one of the galaxies that shaped like a vine leaf, the thousand-winged ancient ship was hovering inside of a star cloud.

  Zhong Yue was standing on the deck, his divine third eye was slowly closing as he laughed and said, “If it wasn’t this little bitch that helped us scouting the path ahead, we’ll also be in deep trouble like them now. Senior Martial Brother Yu, have you cultivated the Hell Reincarnation?”

  Chapter 1180: Burial Ground's Creatures |

  Hundun Yu shook his head and said, “I may have yet to cultivate Hell’s Reincarnation but I can see them clearly. Nothing can hide from our Hundun Clan’s Hundun Divine Eye, we see everything from their roots. These Yin demons are all born from endless spirit remnants, they’re also part of chaos so they won’t be able to hide from my sight.”

  “The Hundun’s eyes are really impressive, it’s something the other
races can only envy.”

  Zhong Yue praised, “But if you did not cultivate Hell’s Reincarnation, you will still not be able to protect yourself.”

  Hundun Yu smiled, “Don’t worry, with the Fusang Tree, I will be safe, these Yin demons wouldn’t even dare to come close to the chaos fire.”

  Zhong Yue calmed down after hearing this and hid the thousand-winged ancient ship away. He started moving towards this Reincarnation Burial Ground with Hundun Yu.

  They were a step ahead of Feng Wuji and his men but decided not to enter, Zhong Yue’s purpose here was not the place itself but the ninth spiritual root, a vine-like spiritual root that formed a galaxy, which was the reason he headed over here first thing first.

  He did not purposely wait for Feng Wuji and his men to enter first, if there was a way to retrieve the ninth spiritual root right away, Zhong Yue wouldn’t even bat an eye at Feng Wuji and his men.

  However, when he arrived at this galaxy and passed through the many leaves on the vines, he took out the vine leaf he possessed and nothing happened.

  There was also no connection between this leaf and the galaxy.

  Thus, Zhong Yue had no choice but to enter Reincarnation Burial Ground and figure out a way, starting from the root at the center of the ground.

  The root was right within the Reincarnation Burial Ground’s tenth coffin tenth Heavens, where he would need to enter to search for a way to revive the ninth spiritual root.

  When the Tree of Life writhed, a fruit grew out from it and it was the key to revive the Tree of Life.

  As Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu descended quickly into the Reincarnation Burial Ground, Zhong Yue thought, And when ninth spiritual root is destroyed, a vine leaf never turned into a galaxy, which means that this leaf is the key to revive ninth spiritual root. If that is the way, why isn’t the ninth spiritual root reacting to this leaf I have when I enter this galaxy?

  On the other hand, Hundun Yu suddenly lost control of his own energy, everything he had lost control and he started falling quickly.

  Without a thought, the innate wings grew out from Zhong Yue’s back and boosted Zhong Yue tremendously, allowing him to reach Hundun Yu in time, helping Hundun Yu regain his balance and they both landed safely.

  Still in shock, Hundun Yu exclaimed as he looked at Zhong Yue, “Mister Yi, how are you still able to use your energy? The Daos here are different, completely outside of any known Daos and that renders every skill useless, so how are you still able to use your energy?”

  Zhong Yue kept quiet for a while and smiled, “Perhaps, it’s because I’ve achieved my own innate after I created my own innate sacred ground in my Dao Yi Secret Realm.”

  Hundun Yu was confused, little did he know that in Zhong Yue’s Dao Yi Secret Realm, he had created a dimension through [Innate Eight Trigrams] to elucidate the Chaos. The Dao Yi Secret Realm in him had become independent of itself, turning into an innate sacred ground equivalent to a micro-universe.

  With the Dao Yi Secret Realm that contained innate Daos, including all the knowledge and understanding he had, Zhong Yue alone was an innate sacred ground, a micro-universe.

  Hence, though the Reincarnation Burial Ground was capable of suppressing all energy and Daos known to the world, formed a world with no energy, it could not suppress Zhong Yue entirely, for Zhong Yue’s energy came solely from his own Dao Yi Secret Realm.

  “Technically, Reincarnation Burial Ground is birthed from chaos, making it a part of the chaos, so you Hundun Clan shouldn’t be affected.”

  Zhong Yue opened his divine third eye and scanned around, enveloping every unseen corner in Reincarnation Burial Ground in his senses. He found himself swarmed by strange-looking Yin demons charging at them, without any hesitation, he activated his Great Six Paths Reincarnation, shrouding the Yin demons with his Great Six Paths Reincarnation before dragging them into one after another star wheels that carried them away.

  These Yin demons walked on his star wheels mindlessly without an end and after some time, the eyeballs all over a Yin demons fell off and rolled around.

  Zhong Yue stumbled for a second, before he saw the other Yin demons gradually disintegrating, some crumbled into faces, some turned into arms, all in a revolting yet strange form.

  He was stunned for a moment, something struck him in his mind but he just couldn’t grab a hold onto the vague idea.

  Hundun Yu also went stuttered for a while, but after focusing on it carefully and matching it with everything taught to him by the old ancestor of Hundun Clan, he finally understood and energy wavered within his body!

  “There really is a heritage in this field among we Hundun Clan!”

  Hundun Yu was surprised and happy at the same time, unlike Zhong Yue’s micro-universe in his body, Hundun Clan’s heritage was finding a suitable Dao for the Reincarnation Burial Ground through filtering and developing the Daos amidst the chaos!

  Hundun Yu started studying the Dao in Reincarnation Burial Ground, strengthened himself taking this chance to create spells that could adapt to this place. After some time, he finally managed to utilize a portion of his strength.

  The duo continued forward. This place was the first Heavens and there were still nine more levels ahead.

  It was not until they entered Reincarnation Burial Ground did they know just how vast this place was. The Yin demons were living beings spawned in this place, which was very strange yet unique and the most curious one was that the ten levels here were all a realm themselves, like a massive coffin that was chained onto a smaller coffin, but the other coffin was floating above the first coffin.

  Upon arriving at the entrance of the second level, they found themselves standing before steep cliffs that stood high up and the only way to enter was through hiking these cliffs.

  With Hundun Yu following behind, Zhong Yue stopped before the cliffs and when they looked up, there were strange-looking flowers all over these steep cliffs, vine-like plants were all over the cliffs, attached to these flowers as if the vines were blossoming.

  “Stop, these are all tongues.”

  Zhong Yue halted Hundun Yu who was about to grab onto the walls and he said softly, “These vines are made of tongues, they are probably a type of Yin demons in Reincarnation Burial Ground.”

  Hundun Yu stopped right away and when he looked carefully, it was just like what Zhong Yue said. The barbs on these vines were all extremely sharp papillae and these vines were all made of countless tongues. The leaves were strange-looking palms and the weird-looking flowers were all faces patched together!

  “How are we supposed to get up there then?” mumbled Hundun Yu.

  “By walking, step by step.” replied Zhong Yue as he stepped foot on the cliffs, standing on the cliffs like on flat land and these cliffs were actually the walls of the second level coffin. Hundun Yu hurriedly followed behind and when he stood on the cliffs, he was stunned for a second, for he felt no gravitational force pulling him down, as if the cliffs were actual land.

  Nothing happened as they walked for a distance but at some point, the flowers on the cliffs turned around, stared right at them and the eyes on these flowers looked at them curiously.

  Right away, Hundun Yu shivered in fear and he swallowed his saliva in nervous.

  The endless mouths on a flower started singing, “Have you seen our wife and child?”

  “Are they suffering?”

  The flowers started swinging on the cliffs, the vines started dancing, like a strange living being with thousand pairs of weird looking arms dancing happily, a flower started turning rounds and rounds in front of the duo, revealing only the back of their head to the duo no matter how they turned.

  Singing was still coming from these flowers non- stop, “Let them come here!”

  “Come here!”

  “The heaven is not in charge here, the earth has nothing on us, there is no pain and no worry here, there is only happiness and serenity!”

  “Come to us!”

  Another flower stretche
d out its countless arms, reached towards Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu and sang, “Our flower scent is as sweet as honey, our hands are as soft as feathers!”

  “We are the loving hands, motherly arms, sleep in our hugs and there will no longer be despair, sadness, worry, trouble and pain!”

  Hundun Yu’s mind slowly went black, he turned dizzy gradually before the singing and that was when he bit his lips at split second to force his conscious back to him. The Fusang Tree has activated right away, chaos fire descended, swept through the cliffs and torched these flowers, causing them to curse and cry continuously!

  “Hurry!”

  Zhong Yue’s expression changed right away, he dragged Hundun Yu along with him as he ran away while the flowers trembled eerily, the endless spirit remnants glued together, turned into a massive vine giant and shouted, “So painful! The descendants of chaos must not enter! You must all die! Die here and become one of us!”

  With an empty mind, Hundun Yu could only look at the gradually gigantifying giant, whose body was covered with pores. Those were all heads, heads with nothing but eyes and from these eyes, arms started gouging out revoltingly!

  Compared to the vine giant, Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu were like a speck of dust that had no impact!

  Hong long—

  A punch was thrown on the duo, with a roar, Zhong Yue’s [Innate Eight Trigrams] started operating crazily, he turned into his Fuxi True Form and slithered quickly away from this punch!

  “Fuxi!”

  This bought them a little more time but it also angered the giant even more.

  “You Fuxi are the most despicable living beings! It is you who destroyed this place!”

  “Mister Yi, why do I feel like it hates you more than me?” murmured Hundun Yu.

  “Activate Fusang Tree, right now!” shouted Zhong Yue.

  With its fists clapped together, the giant hurled a heavy blow towards the duo, and the hands behind its back also threw the same hammering attack towards the duo!
