Rise Of Humanity

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The portal"s cosmic light brought Zhong Yue and the others right into the Fifth Divine City. On their journey, Zhong Yue also managed to catch a glimpse of the ancient ruins made from the debris of the planets that were destroyed in the ancient war.

These ruins were scattered around this Starry Road, and just from looking at them, one can only guess that scale of the war that created them.

Fortunately, the Starry Road had remained intact amidst all the chaos. Besides, the existence within Zi Wei Galaxy probably held this Starry Road with great importance as it was the only path that linked the Zi Wei Galaxy and the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds together. Although those on the same level as the Imperial Emperor were still able to travel as usual with their owns strength even after the path was lost, the others with inferior strength were not able to do so.

Even for Creators, at least a thousand years time was required if they tried to travel with their own strength and those on the Deity Emperor level would take even more time!

Thus, this path was very important and it must be treated with extreme care.

As such, in the nine teleportals floating quietly within the ancient universe, there were a quite a few experts that guarded them.

Something is not right….

Jiang Yiqi suddenly pressed his hands downwards and the teleportal cosmic light slowed down right away. Zhong Yue"s heart skipped a beat at seeing this rather incredible display of strength.

He had seen such moves once when Creator He Lan halted the teleportal cosmic light; the technique used by Jiang Yiqi was extremely similar to Creator He Lan"s when his endless waves of mist had the teleportal cosmic light infinitely came to a complete stop.

Is he a Creator as well? How strong is the Human Sovereign then?

After suppressing the teleportal cosmic light, Jiang Yiqi looked towards the front and said loudly with a freezing cold tone, “Which senior martial brother is fooling with me? May I have the honor of greeting you?”

However, instead of being greeted by someone, they were all greeted with silence and Zhong Yue failed to see anything suspicious. Suddenly, the void ahead of them trembled as lasers shot out of seemingly nowhere. Within seconds, the lasers formed huge nets that hung right ahead of the cosmic light.

The holes between the nets were extremely tiny, and with that, one could imagine what would happen to the two of them if they rammed right into these nets!

They would be sliced and diced into thousands of pieces!

As the nets emerged from the dark, they stacked right together and spun rapidly before they sliced towards Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi. At the same time, a horrendous expert rosed from the back of the nets; a person was carrying a cone shaped divine weapon atop his shoulder. And the terrifying energy started condensing on the tip of the weapon. Before the energy ball was even launched, it already gave off the sensation of death.

Seeing this, Jiang Yiqi sneered and he suddenly spat a fiery dragon out of his mouth which slithered and burned right through the nets.

The old man then grabbed onto the fiery dragon"s tail and with a simple shake, the old man shook away the flames cloaking around the dragon. As the flames dispersed, the true form of the dragon was revealed. It was a fiery dragon spear that was forged from some kind of rare flame.

As the spear emerged, it emitted scorching heat that made Zhong Yue"s hair curl. The heat was even stronger than Zhong Yue"s Innate Yang Qi! The old man, Jiang Yiqi, who looked just like an ordinary old man with nothing significant had revealed his fangs by fearlessly charging right into the array of nets!

Meanwhile, the enemy had also launched a strange beam out of his conical weapon. Even within the sun there was no such laser and Zhong Yue was curious how did this person managed to create such a weapon that could shoot laser.

The laser reeked of death and as it collided with Jiang Yiqi"s spear, the laser split and dispersed into different dimensions.

Though Jian Yiqi"s attack appeared to be just a simple spear lunge, it emanated with the enmity of a dragon. At the same time, the split laser that flew everywhere turned around and pierced towards Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi from all directions.

Krong—

With a loud explosion, the hostile man swung the weird cone towards the tip of the spear, which was then pierced right through by the spear. With a little bit of strength, Jiang Yiqi pierced his spear even deeper into the cone before he spun his spear swiftly.

Dragon scales sharper than swords emerged from the spear"s body, spun and destroyed the cone"s inner.

“Such skills! No wonder the Human Sovereign chose you! But you are still weaker than me, Jiang Yiqi!”

The man laughed even after his weapon was destroyed as the countless laser from before was already right in front of Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi and these lasers all contained terrifying power!

“The rays from a black hole? You are one of the human leaders in the Zi Wei Galaxy, your name is Bo Tuo?”

Jiang Yiqi roared and suddenly, his old body enlarged and his skinny and old body suddenly became a muscular and gigantic. Half draconic and half human, Jiang Yiqi now had dragon scales all over his body that effortlessly deflected the laser beams that struck him.

At the same time as Jiang Yiqi moved, Zhong Yue whipped out a mirror and hid within it while the lasers that went right after him were all reflected back upon hitting the mirror"s surface.

On the other hand, the dragon scales on Jiang Yiqi"s body stood up and he ignited his Leizhe bloodline right away. The old man"s aura spiked suddenly and with the like a real dragon in the sun, his spear shattered the cone divine weapon before slamming right onto Bo Tuo"s shoulder.

“You are a human as well, why the hostility and the killing intent? Are we not from the same race?”

Bo Tuo"s shoulder was crushed by the attack effortlessly by the old man. His expression twisted in fear and panic right away and as he ran away, his voice was heard coming from far away, “Human? I may be a human now but not a human before! Jiang Yiqi, the Human Sovereign is dead now and his position is open to all now! Keep dreaming about becoming the next Human Sovereign!”

“Human Sovereign has pa.s.sed away?”

The old man was shaken by this tragic news, and in that moment of despair, a debilitating sadness engulfed him, leaving him unable to hold back as he wept silently.

Zhong Yue too, was caught off guard by this news.

“No! No! This dog is lying!”

Jiang Yiqi regained his cool suddenly and after dispersing his Leizhe body and returned to his normal form, he said, “This fool is definitely lying! We are only halfway back, which also means that this fool was already here three years ago to ambush us. I"ve only left Zi Wei for eleven years and the Human Sovereign could definitely keep things up for eleven years as well. This fool is merely spreading nonsense to disrupt my mentality!”

He let go of the teleportal cosmic light instantly and the cosmic light immediately regained its speed and carried them all the way towards the Fifth Divine City.

At the same time, Bo Tuo who ran away for some distance turned back. After seeing no pursuers behind him, he let out a breath of relief. He stopped to catch his breath and he said, “Jiang Yiqi is really powerful. The Great Destruction Canon I forged from the black hole was destroyed with ease by him! I am indeed not as good as him. But ahead of them…. Who"s there?”

He shouted and looked ahead alertly with his guards all raised up. Suddenly, a muscular and burly giant came charging out from the dark like a humongous bull that dwarfed planets! This ferocious-looking giant with rock-solid muscles donned only an animal hide pants and he had a ma.s.sive club in his hands just like a barbarian!

Bo Tuo had a scare and he quickly shouted, “I am Bo Tuo, disciple of Imperial Emperor Xian Tian! Name yourself! I see that you are also a human….”

Krong!

The barbaric giant swung his bone club, crushed the planets around him and slammed towards Bo Tuo, who raised his hands in an attempt to fend against this attack only to be crushed into a pile of meat!

“You dare speak like that after you tried to kill your own people?”

The giant rested the club stained with blood and meat on his shoulders before he left quickly. After killing Bo Tuo, the giant leaped away continuously with a speed not anywhere slower than the cosmic light as he chased after the teleportal cosmic light!

Four months later, Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi arrived in the Fifth Divine City; Jiang Yiqi who was worried about the Human Sovereign did not even stop for a bit after arriving this city and he immediately boarded onto the next teleportal cosmic light.

Zhong Yue also knew that there was no time to spare so he tried his best to create any problems to Jiang Yiqi.

However, as soon as they got onto the teleportal platform, they heard a firm voice asking, “Is this Jiang Yiqi of Zhong Li?”

Jiang Yiqi turned around and after realizing it was the Creator stationed here to safeguard the city, he greeted back right away, “Yes, it"s me.”

The Creator smiled and replied, “No need with the formalities, Brother Jiang. I am here to pa.s.s a message to you. If you do not wish to die, you must turn back right away.”

Jiang Yiqi frowned slightly and he asked politely, “What do you mean, city lord?”

The Creator replied, “The Human Sovereign has pa.s.sed away and someone is vying for control over the human race. Is this clear enough? In truth, I am here under the request of King Zi Guang to pa.s.s you this message. It is your choice, however, to listen or ignore it.”

Jiang Yiqi frowned even more and suddenly, he turned around and activated the teleportal and towards the Sixth Divine City.

The Creator shook right away and murmured, “This old man looks like a nice guy but why is he so stubborn? King Zi Guang told me to convince him to turn around and so I did. Now, I"ve done my part and I have no more parts in this matter. What is that?”

The Creator looked right into the s.p.a.ce in the ancient galaxy and he was shocked by what he saw, a barbaric giant wearing only a beast hide pants with a giant club in his hands. This giant came charging right towards the city a speed that created pressure strong enough to crush the skies!

“Men! To your battle stations!”

The Creator shouted, “It"s the barbarian Fu Li in the ancient universe again! He"s here again! Set up the defense right now!”

Chaos engulfed the many G.o.ds and demons in the city right away; just as the army formed their formation, the barbarian giant charged right past the city as he trailed the teleportal cosmic light in relentless power.

“This barbarian has lost his mind!”

The Creator was stunned by this scene and he shouted, “He"s trying to chase after the teleportal cosmic light! He has finally snapped!”

On the other hand, Jiang Yiqi pressed down the teleportal cosmic light again after a month time. This kind looking old man put on a grim expression this time and he said, “We"re all humans so why are you trying to become a hindrance?”

The galaxy ahead of him rippled upon his words and a luxury dressed G.o.d walked out from the void as he said, “Zhong Li"s Jiang Yiqi, the Human Sovereign is dead! Do you think it"s going to be so easy for you just to go back and inherit his place!? The throne is now mine!”

Jiang Yiqi let out an angry roar and without even wasting a word on this G.o.d, he charged right at the G.o.d with his spear. A quick moment later, the G.o.d was knocked flying away and as he was still in the air, blood gushed out from his mouth and he shrieked, “You"re going to be dead when you arrive in Zi Wei!”

Jiang Yiqi remained silent however and he continued his journey with Zhong Yue.

Just as the two left, a loud explosion rang out as a giant came charging right at the scene. This giant grabbed right onto the G.o.d"s neck and punched his head. Blood splashed and flesh splattered everywhere. The giant threw the mutilated corpse onto the ground without batting an eye at all before chasing after the duo again.
