Rise of Humanity Chapter 960

Chapter 960 - The Sabers Sheathed

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Outside of the Heavenly Deity Altar, it was exceptionally quiet. The Heavenly Monarch had given his orders for Zhong Yue to stop the fight so that Zhu Xie’s life would be spared.

However, by that time, Zhong Yue had already slashed Zhu Xie to pieces!

Such a development had greatly humiliated the Heavenly Monarch. If he were to make a fuss out of it, not even a hundred Zhong Yue’s death would be able to cease his anger.

But Zhong Yue was Xian Tian Palace’s King Yi, to behead King Yi, would Imperial Emperor Xian Tian sit aside and accept it quietly?

If beheading Zhong Yue provoked Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s retaliation, the Heaven Court would have to react to the threats from Xian Tian Palace. But if the Heaven Court’s power was to be sent out, the sovereign races, monarch races, and king races would have to pick their sides. Furthermore, there were the strong and ancient presences like Celestial Monarch Jin Wu, Goddess Queen Monarch and the others.

This would lead to an even merrier birthday ceremony, one whose ending not even the Heavenly Monarch would be able to control!

Amidst the silence, everyone in the crowd was feeling waves in their emotions.

The Heavenly Monarch’s face was slightly darkened, all those present found themselves situated in this long and pressuring silence. Then suddenly, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming turned to Mister Bi Luo and asked, “Mister Bi Luo, Zhu Xie…”

Mister Bi Luo’s shocked face was long gone, having now regained its usual tranquility. He answered, “Zhu Xie has walked out of the palace by his own choice, which means that he has given up his identity as part of the Bi Luo Palace’s innate gods. Whatever of him since then has got nothing to do with the Bi Luo Palace. He is Your Majesty’s junior martial brother, what Your Majesty wants to do with him, the Bi Luo Palace doesn’t care.”

He had laid down his rules. Although the Bi Luo Palace’s innate gods were from the Bi Luo Palace, but once they walked out of the Bi Luo Palace, these gods would have nothing to do with the palace anymore. Furthermore, he had clearly stated his intention of staying out of the war, remaining neutrality.

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s eyelids thumped, just before he was about to speak, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian suddenly placed his hands on the heart and exclaimed, “King Yi, what have you done! How could you? Your Majesty, although King Yi is my subject, I cannot shelter him for his wrongs. Your Majesty, have it your way, my Xian Tian Palace will fully acknowledge the consequences!”

On the seat, Ling Zheng stood up and did the same gesture, he said, “King Yi, how can you act so fast? Zhu Xie is now killed by you. Although it was said to be a fair and square fight, and the lives of the contestants depends on yourselves, Zhu Xie was after all still His Majesty’s junior martial brother, what should you do now?”

Yin Fukang was infuriated, “Old Brat Ling Zheng, wasn’t the battle fair and square, and their lives were in their own hands? If my son-in-law was killed by Zhu Xie, I wouldn’t have said a single thing except mourn over his weak abilities! Weaklings deserve to die! Zhu Xie is now dead, and that was because he was weak. You can’t blame that on my son-in-law!”

Celestial Monarch Jin Wu sighed, “But he is still His Majesty’s junior martial brother, His Majesty’s reputation wouldn’t be too good if…”

Xiang Zhugong slammed the table in front of him and laughed out in extreme anger, “The future monarch of my clan, Xiang Xinling, was killed by Zhu Xie, but did I say a single thing?”

Then, the Titing Clan’s Imperial Monarch said, but everyone else could tell just how fake he was, “Although Zhu Xie was an innate god, his life is a little more valuable than your clan’s Xiang Xinling, and also my clan’s Ge Tianshu…”

Tian Xuanzi sneered coldly, “More valuable? How much exactly? I’ll buy him out!”

The crowd was in a clamor, some helped Zhong Yue openly and some did it quietly with subversive statements.

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s face was still the same. Moments later, when the crowd had finished giving their two cents, he finally said, “Since we’ve said their lives should depend on their own fate, then King Yi will not be guilty. Today, the battle for the Future Monarchs Board, King Yi shall be ranked first.”

As he spoke, all sounds were quiet, no one discussed the matter further.

Gui Youming stepped forth, “Your Majesty, although we did say that, Zhu Xie is, after all, Your Majesty’s junior martial brother. He also has an ancient presence backing him. If Your Majesty doesn’t do anything for him, I’m afraid it’d be hard to appease their anger.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s and the others’ hearts skipped a beat. That presence was the Innate Evil Monarch that has shadowed the Fire Order Era to the God Order Era!

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming pondered, “What does Ghost Master have on his mind?”

Gui Youming continued, “King Yi may be let alive, but he musn’t go unpunished. Your loyal subject here suggests that why don’t King Yi be imprisoned a thousand years on the Black Edge. This isn’t a punishment that is too heavy or light. It should be able to satisfy his presence’s anger.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was angry but remained calm as he said, “A thousand years on the Black Edge? Ghost Master, what a cunning plan!”

Gui Youming smirked, “Does Imperial Emperor have any better plans that can appease his presence’s anger?”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian smiled, “My teacher and Innate Evil Monarch are martial siblings, my teacher can go and talk to Evil Monarch.”

Gui Youming and Heavenly Monarch Di Ming were shocked, they thought of the horrible presence and couldn’t help but feel a fearful shiver.

Gui Youming smiled, “Imperial Emperor, for you to go and return will take a year or two, wouldn’t it? Meanwhile, I suggest King Yi to suffer sometime on the Black Edge. When the Imperial Emperor returns and your teacher is out for the talk, King Yi may leave once the ending is clear. As such, Imperial Emperor should be satisfied?”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian mulled, and he nodded.

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming looked over and smiled, “Xian Tian, King Yi is a strong one. Being able to slay an innate god of the same level with sabers, he has my admiration. A great talent like him and you still dare to value him, I guess, this is where I have always been inferior to you.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s heart sterned up but a shallow smile radiated across his face, “Your Majesty, you’ve think too much. King Yi is not the only one with the seventh secret realm, Xian Tian has always thought that the advancement of cultivations always needed forward-thinking talent to make it happen. As the eras cahnge, the new must surpass the old. The opening of the seventh secret realm needs talents like King Yi to complete.”

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s heart skipped a beat, he stared deeply at Imperial Emperor Xian Tian and suddenly laughed, “If your heart is in peace, the skies will always be bright and clear.”

Then, he looked at the Heavenly Deity Altar and said, “Since Zhu Xie is already dead. Then may I have you all let King Yi go. He will be going to the Black Edge now…”

“Who said I am dead?”

All of a sudden, Zhu Xie’s voice could be heard saying from inside the Heavenly Deity Altar. The shattered pieces of his corpse were squirming, there were Evil Qi that leaked out from the pieces and slowly reconnecting them.

The pieces of meat had no trace of blood nor were there any blow flowing out from them.

“Zhu Xie is not dead?”

Outside of the Heavenly Deity Altar, the crowd was shocked. They all looked at the squirming body pieces. The pieces were still containing terrifying evil Dao patterns that sustained Zhu Xie’s very existence. There were no blood, meaning Zhu Xie has used his immense arcane energy and sealed the wounds from bleeding.

Zhu Xie wasn’t killed by Zhong Yue’s sabers!

“The innate gods truly are strong. He didn’t even die in this state!”

King Shen Wuwei praised, “Such powerful vitality, it’s really rare to come across something like this!”

The body pieces were joined back together and Zhu Xie returned to life, restored to his previous peak state. He stood up and looked at Zhong Yue. His face was calm and he said, “The seventh secret realm? You’ve truly caught me by surprise. But your seventh secret realm is forced, it still couldn’t merge perfectly with the Six Paths Reincarnation.”

Zhong Yue smiled, he said casually, “You’ve lost.”

Cold rays flashed in Zhu Xie’s eyes, “One more time. Now that I’m prepared for it, I won’t lose again!”

Outside of the altar, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian heaved a breath of relief and thought, With Mister Yi doing this, I’ll be less pressured too.

Then, rays flashed across his eyes and he laughed as he said, “Since Zhu Xie is alive, then there will be no need for the Black Edge anymore. I plead Your Majesty to return the order.”

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming was surprised too, he looked at Zhu Xie and mulled, he said, “If that’s the case, there will be no need for the Black Edge anymore. My loyal subjects, please retract your skills and arcane energy .”

The Deity Emperors and Creators all kept their arcane energy and essences, and the Heavenly Deity Altar has shrunk down. Zhu Xie shouted, “His Majesty, wait! I still want to fight King Yi!”

Zhong Yue smiled, he walked down the altar.

Zhu Xie stood on the middle of the altar, he bowed, “Your Majesty, one more round, I will surely defeat him! Please give the orders and rerank the Future Monarchs Board!”

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming hesitated while Imperial Emperor Xian Tian said, “The board has been set, the battle is over. Now, you want to go back on your word? A ruler’s words should be beyond reproach. If Your Majesty keeps going back on your word, it would be difficult to maintain your rule, no?”

“One more round, I’ll kill him with the [Evil Tome]!”

Zhu Xie raised his voice, “I am not for the victory, I am to set the name of the [Evil Tome]!”

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming frowned, he looked at Zhong Yue but the latter had already walked down the Heavenly Deity Altar. He was surrounded by the Saint Board’s Heavenly Deities, True Deties, and Deity Overlords. They were celebrating and clearly, he didn’t have any intention of fighting anymore.

“Your Majesty, Zhu Xie’s current state doesn’t look right. He is too after the victories, his Dao heart is affected.” Beside, Goddess Queen Monarch said softly, “He has been slashed by King Yi so many times, will that leave him with any hidden wounds?”

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming quickly looked over at Zhu Xie but found him nothing out of the ordinary. It was just that Zhu Xie’s aura too seemed to be undulating heavily.

Beside Zhong Yue, the Heavenly Deities, True Deities, and Deity Overlords swarmed into him. They all wanted to ask him to share his experience of opening the seventh secret realm.

“Don’t make noise!”

Tian Xuanzi leaped up of the table and kicked all the stuff on it aside. He shouted, “Old Yi, I respect you! Can you show me your sabers? The sabers that can even slash the innate god to pieces, I must have a look at them!”

The crowd immediately went quiet and stared at Zhong Yue. Zhong Yue laughed, the Space Dao and Time Dao flew out and turned into two sabers, then he handed it over to Tian Xuanzi.

Tian Xuanzi inspected the sabers carefully and praised. Then, Ti Mobei snatched it over and took a look as well. Then, another True Deity has snatched it over, and as such, the sabers were passed around.

Zhu Xie stood on the altar’s center, he was looking at them as he shouted, “King Yi, do you dare to fight with me another round!?”

Tian Xuanzi laughed, “A loser and what are you shouting about? What, you don’t want to accept your defeat? A hundred years later, when the Future Monarchs Board is to be reranked, come again then!”

Zhu Xie ignored him and shouted again, “Do you dare or no?”

Zhong Yue didn’t answer.

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming also noticed the strangeness, he said, “Zhu Xie is injured, but this wound seems peculiar. It’s hidden in his body and has yet to come into effect. Have him return back here quickly. King Shen Wuwei, bring him here.”

King Shen Wuwei nodded and rushed for the Heavenly Deity Altar.

Beside Zhong Yue, the gods were still looking at the sabers. And eventually, the sabers were returned back to Zhong Yue’s hands.

“King Yi, come up the altar and fight!” Zhu Xie shouted.

Zhong Yue took over the two sabers and two saber sheathes formed from the Innate Change Dao appeared on his waist. He sheathed the Saber of Time into it and created a light sound of metal clanking, the clank reverberated for a long time.

Ding–

Zhu Xie was stunned, he stood unmovingly like a puppet on the altar.

Zhong Yue raised his hand and sheathed the Saber of Space again. With the two sabers back into the sheathes, the two sounds of metal clanking reverberated together, and even resonated with one another.

“Not good!”

King Shen Wuwei’s scalps tingled and he quickly rushed toward Zhu Xie. He reached his hand out for the innate evil god but Zhu Xie’s body had already crumbled down back into the many pieces of body.

But this time, the innate god’s blood flowed out of the body parts and painted the floor red!

King Shen Wuwei reached his hand out, but it was too late, he only managed to hold onto a piece of the many body parts. Blood was flowing out from the sides of his palm.

“Your Majesty, Zhu Xie, he is…”

King Shen Wuwei’s voice was quivering as he said, “Dead!”

In the world birthed by Pangu, the Three Sovereigns lit the spark of humanity that the Five Emperors would later fan into a blazing fire, eternally branding humanity as the leaders of the world…. This was a time where twilight had descended on the reign of the Human Sovereign and the Five Emperors had yet to emerge – humanity was merely one of the myriad races wandering about the vast cosmos. This was a desolate and barren era. The monsters, devils, heavenly gods, and deities of all races stood aloft; with the demons, heavenly souls, and spirits dancing freely around the world. The humans were still a feeble and burgeoning race, often taken as livestock and offered as sacrifices to the pantheon of races that ruled the world together from within the great wilderness. This was not the era of the Foreworld, but the barbaric and untamed era of uncivilization! Let us rewind back to China’s ancient and classical mythology and recount the legendary tale of how a single figure led humanity out of an epoch of darkness and into a new dawn. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the (Rise of Humanity) !
