Rise Of Humanity Chapter 260 - Contending For The Sun

Chapter 260 - Contending for the Sun

Although they didn't know what kind of treasure the sun was, when they saw the immense life force in the moon, Zhong Yue and ‘Shui Qingyan' both realized that the sun's value would not be any inferior to the moon!

Their speed was incredible as they bolted out like arrows set loose toward the sun.

With a thought, ‘Shui Qingyan' released uncountable Sword Qi that formed into the Sword Coc.o.o.n Sword Silk Array that enclosed Zhong Yue in the middle. She was one of the Shui Tu Clan's young and promising disciples; surely, the Shui Tu Clan would spare no expense in nurturing her, even imparting her with the true quintessence of Shui Zian's【Sixty Four Sword Styles】.

In order to get her hands on the sun before him, ‘Shui Qingyan’ initiated the first strike!

Zhong Yue had a taste of the Sword Silk Array's power before this, even he knew of the sword array; however, he hadn't been taught the complete art and hence, his version would not be as strong as ‘Shui Qingyan''s.

Furthermore, ‘Shui Qingyan''s【Sixty Four Sword Styles】contained the Sword Coc.o.o.ns in it, among the sixty-four Sword Qi, only sixty-three of them were the Sword Qi she had cultivated, the last was actually one of Shui Zian's sixty-four Sword Coc.o.o.ns!

All of a sudden, the Golden Crow wings emerged behind Zhong Yue's back, and as he beat his wings, golden sword feathers blasted out through the Sword Coc.o.o.n Sword Silk Array and surrounded ‘Shui Qingyan.'

These golden sword feathers were the Golden Crow Sword Qi, every one of which was made from sunfire; its burning force was so potent that it could set any soul weapon ablaze!

However, these sword feathers weren't his true trump card; the true trump card was the Golden Peng Sword hidden in the midst of the sword feathers that was waiting for the perfect chance end it!

This soul weapon was incredibly strong, after all, it was part of the Kun Peng's saint weapon — the Divine Wing Saber. It was strong and unbreakable, and if it were to strike its final blow at ‘Shui Qingyan,' her death would only be an inevitability despite her being a demon G.o.d!

The demon G.o.d spirit was incredibly hard to kill, even Fang Jiange failed to do so previously; however, Fang Jiange's sword was not a divine weapon, let alone a saint weapon.

Hence, Zhong Yue had a certain confidence that the golden feathery Peng sword would be able to do what Fang Jiange's sword couldn't!

The two of them have both plunged into a life and death situation — Zhong Yue trapped ‘Shui Qingyan' in his sword array that was formed by the golden sword feathers. The Golden Peng Sword was standing by waiting to give her the final blow; on the other hand, Shui Zian's【Sixty Four Sword Styles】was indeed appallingly strong, Zhong Yue had seemingly all chance of escaping once ‘Shui Qingyan' trapped Zhong Yue in her sword array formation!

The both of them were trapped in one another's array formation, they cast out all their skills and went all out in an attempt to break through the array formations, but both of them were only strong as the other, unable to overcome the arrays they were trapped in. The two of them only ended up being covered in their own blood.

"Zhong Shan Clan, do you really want to do it?"

‘Shui Qingyan''s pretty countenance suddenly turned hideous. She was on the verge of transforming into her Tian Myriad Mother form to continue the battle with Zhong Yue as the felt the hidden threat of the sword feathers. She gave a loud shriek, "If I die, I'll bring you along with me to h.e.l.l!"

Jiao Dragons were soaring around Zhong Yue, forming into the【Thousand Dragon Wall】to fend down the incoming sword silks. As he heard her words, killing intent suddenly burst out in Zhong Yue's heart. It was no longer a matter of deciding whether or not to retreat; the situation had already careened out of their control into the worst possible scenario!

As of now, they were no longer holding anything back; every skill and strike they launched was strong enough to end the other's life. He couldn't be sure that she wouldn't continue her savage attacks if he were to try and retreat, and neither could she. Their only option now was to kill the other before the other killed them!

Their vicious battle eventually brought them ramming into the side of the sun.

Their Sword Qi was ignited and vaporized away while the sword silks and sword feathers were all incinerated. Only the Golden Peng Sword and the Sword Coc.o.o.n was left behind.

The sun was incredibly hot; even their mortal bodies were severely burned to the point they could be reduced to ashes at any moment.

All of a sudden, streams of water emerged out of nowhere. They slowly began to take the shape of Jiao Dragons as they enveloped ‘Shui Qingyan' to help her ward off the heat.

Right at this moment, she could feel a tremendous surge of life force flooding over and glutting her body. The wounds caused by the sword feathers immediately stopped bleeding and started to heal, and the dried scabs quickly fell off to reveal pristine skin!

The moon is the condensed life energy while this sun is the condensed life force!

‘Shui Qingyan' was shocked and overjoyed; the life energy was like water while the life force was akin to fire — one water and one fire, one moon and one sun. An exuberant and vibrant life force was the foundation for a powerful mortal body!

With such heat, this celestial magnate's life force has to be incredibly strong! If this life force can nourish me, in addition to the blood essence of my old mortal body, my cultivation base and prowess will skyrocket to a whole new level. I can reach the grade of the magnates in one leap!

She lifted her head up and saw a three-legged celestial being standing behind Zhong Yue with the sunfire revolving around it; then, then the three-legged celestial being slowly coalesced with his mortal body, turning into a two hundred feet tall celestial being!

In the state of [Atman Body as One], Zhong Yue had morphed into a three-legged celestial being. In such a state, not only did the immense heat of the sun fail to harm him, but it felt incredibly comfortable. It was as if he was a fish that had returned to the embrace of the water, a bird that had returned to the freedom of the sky.

"The Great Sun Golden Crow celestial being!" ‘Shui Qingyan''s face changed slightly. She quickly leaped out from the sun, reluctant to stay any longer.

Although it wasn't a real sun, it was still incredibly hot. Fighting with Zhong Yue in the sun would only slowly affect her strength, and eventually, Zhong Yue, who was unaffected by the heat of the sun, would be strong enough to kill her.

In the corner of her eyes, she saw the Golden Peng Sword, and her beautiful countenance underwent a change. She was even more convinced of her decision and dared not stay to fight him anymore.

This sword, this sword….

A chill traveled down her spine, although it was only a small feather, the Golden Peng Sword gave her an even greater shock than any other divine weapon. From a glance, she could tell that the golden feathery Peng sword was incomplete — only a tiny part of a soul weapon, but this golden sword was strong enough to threaten her life!

If this sword were to slash her, she would surely die without a doubt!

How … how did he get such a soul weapon? This sun, I can’t contend with him anymore….

‘Shui Qingyan’ quickly dived down from the sky, she left and stopped contending with Zhong Yue for the sun, thinking in her heart, This celestial magnate can cultivate the Immortal Body, even the headmaster of Swords Gate can't kill him. Then his Immortal Body must not only have the life energy and life force, but there must also be something else … Oh yes, it's the life essence! I'll let him take this sun, the life essence of this magnate might not be any inferior to this sun and moon!

She was, after all, a demon G.o.d, she glanced around, and her eyes brightened up upon seeing a river in the mountains. She then quickly flew down toward it.

When ‘Shui Qingyan' left, Zhong Yue then started swallowing the condensed life force of the sun, refining it into his mortal body and Yuan Shen. Right away, he felt like as if his life force started to burn like fire on oil!

Swallowing another mouthful, he felt like as if he was going to burst and explode. His blood boiled as the immense life force flooded his body; it felt as if his mortal body was undergoing an expansion!

Zhong Yue was shocked and overjoyed. The life force was so vibrant that it was rus.h.i.+ng into his body unceasingly, nouris.h.i.+ng and strengthening his Yuan Shen and mortal body!

The life force is so strong that I can probably regrow a hand if I were to cut it down right now!

However, although it was most likely true, he still didn't dare to test it out. It was, after all, his own hand, if it couldn't grow back, then he would have nowhere to cry. After all, when Yu Zheng Dragon Celestial Race's Yu Zheng cultivated the Immortal Body, he was already a magnate grade cultivator. Zhong Yue was still a long way from that level; even if he swallowed two mouths of Yu Zheng's life force, he was still a ways away from cultivating the Immortal Body to the undying stage.

Cutting down a hand and growing it back is definitely an illusionary thought. I’d better just slowly absorb the life force in this sun.

Rays flashed in Zhong Yue's eyes as he thought, If I absorb all of the life force in this sun, I won't fail anymore in the mortal body stage if I can enter the Ancestral Dragon Secret Realm again!

In the mortal body stage of the Ancestral Dragon Secret Realm, Zhong Yue was defeated and failed to acquire the ancestral blood. It was all because of the fact that a human's mortal body was weak and fragile. The life force and life energy were even weaker than the Eastern Sea dragon race, let alone the G.o.dly dragons of the Leize Celestial Race.

And if he had absorbed the life force in this sun, Zhong Yue's life force would be exuberantly vibrant. In addition to the life energy in the moon that Qiu Jin'er acquired, Zhong Yue would have been able to patch up the weakness in his mortal body to propel it to a standard far beyond any other human!

After strengthening my mortal body, I can then kill Tian Myriad Mother and remove this threat forever!

Zhong Yue kept on nouris.h.i.+ng his mortal body and Yuan Shen with the vibrant life force of the sun. He could tell that his mortal body was growing increasingly stronger and his Yuan Shen becoming ever so firmer. He could also vaguely sense some blood essence lurking his Yuan Shen, his heart skipped a beat and thought, The Bloodline Wheel, Bloodline Wheel … could it be that this Feng Xiaozhong isn’t talking c.r.a.p? There is really a Bloodline Wheel?

There was a slight vestige of blood essence lurking in his Yuan Shen, but the Yuan Shen's blood essence and the mortal body's blood essence couldn't link together. Such a condition was common in the eyes of those exuberant of blood essences, but ever since he heard of the Bloodline Wheel from the madman Feng Xiaozhong, doubts began to surface in his heart.

There really was a seal in the humans' body that locked away the power of our bloodline. When I was refining the ancestral blood from the Ancestral Dragon, I felt it very clearly!

Zhong Yue's heart palpitated heavily. If the bloodline of humanity were sealed away to cause the Yuan Shen's bloodline to be unable to link with the mortal body's bloodline, then it would be possible that there was a sixth wheel that was sealed away.

Feng Xiaozhong may be a madman, but he might have just discovered a huge secret!

However, no matter how hard Zhong Yue tried, he still couldn't find where the seal was, not to mention breaking through the seal to unlock the power of the bloodline.

Furthermore, even if he had unleashed the power in the bloodline, he still wouldn't know how to open the sixth wheel.

What did Feng Xiaozhong find? How did he break through the seal and open the sixth secret realm? This is a madman, but also a genius with unbelievable talent!

After a long time, Zhong Yue didn't discover anything else and could only direct the sun toward the moon Qiu Jin'er's location. He shouted, "Junior Martial Sister Jin'er, this sun is the life force, it can work together with the life energy in your moon to strengthen our mortal body and Yuan Shen!"

Qiu Jin'er was overjoyed, and she also manipulated the moon toward him, she said smilingly, "Senior martial brother, I was just worrying that I couldn't refine this moon and bring it away."

Zhong Yue walked out from the sun while he started absorbing both the life force from the sun and the life energy from the moon to strengthen his Yuan Shen and mortal body. He said with a smile, "Junior martial sister, then you need to refine it as soon as possible, after this, your legs will be fully recovered, and you can cast that wooden wheelchair aside."

Qiu Jin'er hesitated for a moment. She looked nostalgically at her wooden wheelchair before saying moments later, "I think I'll keep this wooden wheelchair, I can still use it if my legs become injured again in the future."
