Rise of Humanity

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s heart tightened right after hearing the old man kept on bringing the eye and he thought, Did they know that teacher’s eye is with me right now?

The first time might be a coincidence, maybe even the second time, but when it came to the third time, these old men definitely knew something!

The Heavenly Monarch was indeed formidable. He must have an incredible character supporting him, or these two old gods wouldn’t have specifically asked for my eye.

The two old man drew the bow together and as they pulled the string, the stars within the Zi Wei Galaxy were outshined as light gathered around the two old man before merging into the divine bow!

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was beginning to feel uneasy; this divine bow was an innate divine bow, an innate weapon crafted by an innate god. Judging from the power it displayed right now, this bow was most probably crafted with the innate god’s own flesh and bone or it would not be that strong at all!

Through the power borrowed from the countless stars in the Zi Wei Galaxy, just how strong was this bow and how much wonder did it contain?

The stars in the Zi Wei Galaxy all belonged to somebody and there were gods and demons that guarded these stars. Occasionally, there were even sacred grounds that were located within these stars. What kind of item possessed the power to borrow power from these stars?

Only an innate god that entered the emperor level possessed the ability to control the stellar power!

The two old man rested the arrow on the bow and they pointed it at the emperor; at this moment, the old blacksmiths finally showed their muscles and their presence was so strong that it could brush the heavens. These two were great presences, each nearing the levels of Imperial Emperor!

Behind them then came seven Heavens, which looked just like fourteen bright pearls that contained waves and waves of Heavens’ power. With the praying power from the countless living beings within these Heavens, the two old man became bestowed with great power and their body became immensely strong!

With the 14 Heavens as their weapon and altar, tremendous power towered upon the emperor.

“Mu Xiantian, if you fail to defend yourself from this arrow, you will die, but if you do manage to survive, you will only lose an eye!”

The expression on Imperial Emperor Xian Tian changed right away but he still did not conjure any weapons or items. An innate god’s body was his strongest asset and if his body couldn’t even stand against something, then whatever items they could bring out would have no use at all!

Though he had forged some divine weapons some time ago, none of them possessed the ability to deal with what was before him!

Chu—

As the arrow flew out, it tore the galaxy apart while it’s light overwhelmed everything, like billions of suns erupting their energy together. The arrow locked right onto Imperial Emperor Xian Tian!

With a leap, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian vanished; from the Zi Wei Galaxy to the Void World, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian jumped from one place to another in just the blink of an eye!

As soon as he disappeared, a loud metal clang could be heard and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was knocked out from the leap.

After shooting the arrow, the two old men placed the cauldron beside them and they rammed the hammer into the cauldron, creating a loud knock and sealing the dimension with the [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation], preventing the Imperial Emperor Xian Tian from escaping.

Meanwhile, with seemingly erratic movements, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian backed off and fled the scene with light speed!

His movements were absolutely stunning; each step he took contained various wonders and although he was running away, he looked as cool and as elegant as ever!

The light on the arrow intensified on the other hand and it was still chasing after him no matter how hard he tried to shake it off. Besides, with each step, there would be a metal clanking sound that interfered with Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s pace, preventing him from shaking the light arrow away!

What a dangerous man! Seems like Heavenly Monarch has been studying and researching my techniques and arts for a long time!

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s expression was gloomy and as his hands moved quickly, making various hand seals with a speed so fast that he produced afterimages; one after another, the innate god’s techniques were launched in an instant and they all flew right towards the light arrow while Imperial Emperor Xian Tian thought, These two old dogs managed to lock onto me using the [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation] and interfere with my movements’ pace. This is definitely thanks to the Heavenly Monarch! He researched onto my techniques into such extent and this is definitely not something that can be accomplished in a short time!

Now, it looked like the two old man was not doing anything after shooting the arrow and all Imperial Emperor Xian Tian had to deal with was the light arrow. But in truth, the battle had begun long before that!

Ever since Imperial Emperor Xian Tian ran into these two old men, the battle had already started and it was at that moment did the emperor noticed something was wrong. He immediately tried to unbind himself from [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation] but he failed as the two blacksmiths had him restrained within this dimension.

In the nine combat turns, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian failed to break free from [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation] and it was also by that time he suspected how the two old men knew him so well.

His confusion was then cleared shortly after; while they looked like they were merely smithing, they were actually attacking him with the [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation]. They launched the [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation] with their full strength and with each hammering, they were actually hammering onto Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s techniques, Dao and body!

And the skills Imperial Emperor Xian Tian launched were entirely destroyed by the light arrow before reaching close to it. No matter how far he moved away from the sound, the hammering sound would drill into his mind and ears with a deafening volume.

At this was not just a battle between Imperial Emperor Xian Tian and the two old blacksmiths, but a battle between him and the Heavenly Monarch; after successfully deciphering the Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s skills, the Heavenly Monarch had the two old blacksmiths suppress Imperial Emperor Xian Tian!

If Imperial Emperor Xian Tian did not have someone supporting him, and if his teacher was not that person, instead of suppressing Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, Heavenly Monarch would have killed Imperial Emperor Xian Tian right here!

The current Heavenly Monarch was ostensibly a foolish and incapable ruler, a king that was limited by the heavens while lost in petty politics with his fellow lords.

But throughout history, how many of them that triumphed over the many great ones and sat on the throne were fools?

They are definitely not from Zi Wei Galaxy. To be able to possess 14 Heavens, they are bound to be known by many. Where did they come from?

The light arrow closed in quickly and with a screech, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian clapped his hands together before countless arms spread out behind him. The thousand arms spread out like the peacock’s tail and they all slammed towards the light arrow!

Transformations occurred; some of these arms clenched, holding the Heavens in the fist; some were flowers which a world exists in the petals; or a bowl where stars were contained within like sand.

But the light arrow pierced through the countless arms like nothing and with an unstoppable power, it flew right towards Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s head.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian gritted his teeth, and knowing that there was no way to evade, he decided that he had to stop this light arrow no matter what. Suddenly, from his forehead flew an eye, the eye that existence had given him!

The eye widened up and an eternal darkness gushed out, swarming the overwhelming light arrow.

The bright light within the light arrow darkened down right away and vanished quickly.

“Brother, why interfere? Let the young ones sort things themselves.” A voice was heard coming from the eye.

“If you can, why can’t I?” There came another old voice from the eye again all in a sudden.

After that, the dark divine eye closed up and returned to Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s forehead.

Then, golden words emerged on the eyelid of the eye and the golden innate words were like they were written by the same pen and same person onto the eyelid.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian tried to open the eye, only to discover that no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to open it.

At the same time, the two old blacksmiths stopped smithing and they pressed forward at Imperial Emperor Xian Tian with overwhelming force with the divine cauldron and hammer.

But now, without the threat from the light arrow, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian feared them no more and he fought with the two giants bare handed. In just a moment, the two old blacksmiths were injured and they backed off quickly.

Just as Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was about to give chase, the smithing noise was heard again and the noise immediately hindered his movements, triggering the blood essence to surge uncontrollably in him. The two old men then continued smithing, creating the noise to stall Imperial Emperor Xian Tian while they fled the scene.

The Heavenly Monarch’s power is much more powerful than I thought. Seems like some mysterious factions have decided to side with him.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian recollected his thoughts and summoned, “Teacher!”

No movements occurred on the eye on his forehead but after quite a while, the existence voice came from the dark divine eye saying calmly, “My eye has been sealed by your junior martial uncle. I’m afraid that it has lost its power for the moment but it matters not. I will neutralize his divine arrow.”

“Junior martial uncle?” Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was shook and he lost his voice before he exclaimed, “Him? He decided to support Heavenly Monarch!?”

Cold sweat dripped down and after recalling how terrifying this man was, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian felt a cold creeping down his spine, yet, the arrow was sealed right into his forehead and turned into golden words; if his teacher failed to suppress the arrow, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will lose his life anytime!

“Teacher, how long will it take for you to destroy this divine arrow?” asked Imperial Emperor Xian Tian who had calmed himself down.

“Perhaps just a hundred years, perhaps a thousand.” After that, the voice faded away and everything turned quiet.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian frowned slightly and after glancing at Zi Wei Imperial Star from far away, he headed back towards Xian Tian Palace.

Your Highness, I’ve underestimated you but from now on, you will be greatest my rival and one day, only one of us will survive!

Within Zi Wei Imperial Star, the two old blacksmiths requested to see Heavenly Monarch and after they were received by Heavenly Monarch, the two old man said embarrassingly, “Forgive us, Your Highness. These two old man failed to cut Mu Xiantian and his eye. We only managed to seal the eye he was carrying.”

“This is good enough already. I am not worried about Xian Tian. I am worried about that existence supporting him. Xian Tian borrowed his eye to deal with me and I will only be able to relax if the eye is sealed.”

Heavenly Monarch smiled and said, “Thank you. I commend you for your hard work, Xuan Qi. How is Xian Tian as compared to me?”

The two old man exchanged looks and they said, “He is stronger than us by a level but inferior to your least by at least three levels.”

Heavenly Monarch frowned right away and he sighed, “Only three? An innate god is indeed an innate god…. If he enters the monarch level, then these three levels will be as good as nothing.”

Xuan Qi smiled and replied, “Your Highness, after you decipher and study his Dao skills and techniques, he will no longer pose any threat to you.”

“But little do you know how cunning he is. What l learned and deciphered were actually skills he used a long time ago. But now, his capability far suppressed his capability from back then. Have you ever thought that he did not use his trump cards in front of you so that I wouldn’t be able to see through his skills?” Heavenly Monarch figured, “No one knows how far had he has grown since then.”
