Rise of Humanity-Chapter 1112: An Eye For An Eye

Mo Yuanlie’s heart stiffened up right away as all of the sword rays bursting from the quasi stars suddenly stopped.

A moment ago, the Quasi Star Region was still like a pot of boiling porridge, the quasi stars were lashing out sword rays, cutting through layers and layers of dimensions for thousands and millions of miles. But now, they all suddenly stopped. The sudden change didn’t appease Mo Yuanlie’s heart in the slightest.

The quasi stars were bigger than suns, they were rotating silently around him, even the divine fire bursting out from the surface of the stars let out no noise at all.

But the quieter it was, the more terrifying it would be.

Especially when the phenomenon was related to Zhong Yue, that fact caused him even more discomfort.

Zhong Yue overcame the cataclysmic tribulation and became a Deity Emperor now. But even a Deity Emperor could never have the power to bring about a natural phenomenon like this!

To be able to master the energies of the quasi stars in the Quasi Star Region was not possible for a Deity Emperor!

Something like that would require a cultivation base far beyond that of Imperial Emperors, including the peak Imperial Emperors like himself. This was definitely capable only through monarch paragons!

“The monarch mentality?” Mo Yuanlie’s heart shook as a thought dawned on him, “He is using the monarch mentality to lure the Daos of the heaven and earth around and acquire control over the Daos with it! No, no, this isn’t right. The Deity Emperors are not powerful enough to control the Daos of the heaven and earth, they will be assimilated by the Daos instead!”

But what was happening now wasn’t Zhong Yue getting assimilated by the Daos. Instead, he was actually controlling the Daos of the heaven and earth in the Quasi Star Region, subsequently, giving him control over the whole Quasi Star Region!

“Even if he could avoid Dao Assimilation, where did he get the massive amounts of arcane energy needed to control the Quasi Star Region? This isn’t part of his power!”

Mo Yuanlie surged his energy into the Million Demons Banner and the dead souls trapped in it were released. Ten thousand demon Daos emerged and subsumed the dead souls. Among the dead souls, there were two that looked like the Getian Clan Imperial Emperors!

On the other hand, Zhong Yue was gently caressing the Innate Lake Dao. He said placidly, “Senior Martial Brother Yuanlie, do you know, this Dao isn’t mine, but the innate Dao born in and nurtured by the Quasi Star Region itself. With it, I now control the whole Quasi Star Region; With it, the Quasi Star Region has turned itself into a divine weapon in my hands. Thus, I asked, if senior martial brother wanted to know how strong the Quasi Star Region is. Senior martial brother, are you ready?”

The Million Demons Banner’s power was unleashed. The demon Daos subsumed into the dead souls and turned them into figures like the innate demon gods!

These 10,000 innate demon gods were different in cultivation levels, some were stronger and others were weaker. They were all centered around Mo Yuanlie.

Such was the true power of the Million Demons Banner!

The treasure was forged by Innate Demon Monarch himself, the first demon in the cosmos, and the progenitor of demonkind, and the only one who mastered and controlled all demon Daos!

The Million Demons Banner contained a million of his innate demon Daos. These demon Daos could change the dead souls of the banner into innate demon gods that knew no pain and feared no death!

Of course, they were not real innate demon gods, but even so, they were still existences that no one should ever underestimate!

The million demon gods roared and their auras filled the air as they pounced down on Zhong Yue like crazy beasts!

“Cast.”

Zhong Yue softly let out a call. Then, millions of quasi stars in the Quasi Star Region abruptly brightened up in brilliance. They let out their sword rays and merged together into one single beam of sword ray that lit up the dark skies of the universe. It was humongous, like a gigantic sword only a giant could wield as it swept across the innate demon gods!

Chi—

The sword ray swept across the scene and disintegrated the innate demon gods into ashes. Even the Innate Demon Monarch’s innate Daos were crushed and broken in parts by the humongous sword ray!

Such power, such strength, nothing was able to stand against it. It disintegrated everything in its path with no exceptions!

Mo Yuanlie’s eyes were filled with terror as he mustered everything he had into the Million Demons Banner. The banner fluttered rapidly, growing bigger in size and suddenly, an unfathomable air began to emanate from within the banner.

It was old and primitive as if it had come straight from the beginning of time!

That was Innate Demon Monarch’s silhouette. The million innate demon Daos in the banner had merged together and turned into the demon progenitor’s figure, walking toward the quasi star sword ray!

At that moment, demonic voices filled their ears. The innate demon voices and innate Dao language combined together, mixed with the chants of the living beings, grand, loud and clear!

Even though it was just a silhouette, the phantom that followed couldn’t help but impress Zhong Yue. The appearance of the demon progenitor’s silhouette was, after all, out of the ordinary!

Yet, in the next moment, Innate Demon Monarch’s silhouette’s hands were cut off by the sword ray and it continued to slit through its neck. Then, the silhouette’s head rolled down from its neck and its body collapsed back into Daos, returning to the Million Demons Banner!

Mo Yuanlie was terrified, he clenched on the huge banner with two hands and swayed it at the incoming quasi star sword ray!

Boom—

A loud explosion could be heard, despite the sword ray being made only of light, the impact force was no different to a killing blow from a monarch weapon at its full power.

Mo Yuanlie could hear the bones in his arms breaking into smithereens, followed by his rib bones fracturing and then being reduced to ash!

Then, his spines started to break one by one, bone splintered out of his back through his skin.

His body shape became distorted, pushing down tight on the banner’s surface while his Yuan Shen compressed like a thin piece of paper as he was shot away backward with the Million Demons Banner.

“Senior Martial Brother Yuanlie survived?” Zhong Yue was surprised, he said while smiling, “Looks like the Quasi Star Region is only as strong as a monarch weapon. However, unlike the monarch weapons which I am not strong enough to fully unleash, I am able to unleash the Quasi Star Region’s full power. Senior martial brother, you down for another round? I’d like to see if the Quasi Star Region can break the Million Demons Banner. You won’t reject my request, right?”

He didn’t even give Mo Yuanlie a chance to answer as the second humongous sword ray was already on its way toward Mo Yuanlie and the Million Demons Banner!

From the outer galaxies, the quasi star sword ray from the Quasi Star Region was a billion times larger and brighter than ordinary divine suns!

The huge sword ray pierced straight onto the Million Demons Banner, bending it like a full drawn bow but it didn’t break, only a small hole had perforated it!

But Mo Yuanlie who was on the back of the banner wasn’t that lucky. His mortal body was crushed into ashes and his Yuan Shen was nearly vaporized. He was nearly killed by the sword ray!

Terror fully consumed his heart and mind. He felt like he was fighting a monarch, not having a chance to even return a strike and could only passively receive attacks from Zhong Yue!

But what terrified him the most was the small hole on the Million Demons Banner. It was small and tiny, but it was a message to him that the Quasi Star Region was stronger than the Million Demons Banner!

It was the divine weapon forged by Innate Demon Monarch, yet, a hole was made through it!

Of course, it would be a different case if the banner were in the hands of the Innate Demon Monarch himself.

The power that was leaked through the small hole has inflicted him with injuries that he has never experienced before!

“Even if I make it out alive, it’d still take a thousand years to recover from this…”

Mo Yuanlie endured the pain, sticking the remainings of his mortal body and Yuan Shen close to the Million Demons Banner as the banner was sent away from the Quasi Star Region by the sword ray’s impact force.

In his current state, he couldn’t even muster his arcane energy at all and could only let the sword ray’s impact force send him away from the threat.

What he worried most now was if Zhong Yue would chase after him. If Zhong Yue did find him, he would be dead for sure!

“The Quasi Star Region’s sword ray is on par with a monarch weapon’s full power. It has sent me out far away and would take some time for him to chase up to me. I have to make use of this time to recover my arcane energy so I can hide in the Million Demons Banner. By then, even if he finds me, it’d be impossible for him to kill me anymore.”

Mo Yuanlie was quick in planning for his survival, “I will live in the Million Demons Banner and get in touch with teacher so he can retrieve the banner. That way, even King Yi will not be able to do anything to me anymore. Teacher’s protection will shield me from him.”

The Million Demons Banner was still flying away under the sword ray’s impact force and only came to a stop after a long time. Mo Yuanlie was already able to recover his mortal body at that time.

But suddenly, he saw a few gods with rugged clothes flying in the galaxy. They were filled with despair and looked like displaced refugees.

“These gods…”

Mo Yuanlie’s heart skipped a beat. At the same time, the gods also noticed Mo Yuanlie and the despair on their faces were abruptly replaced by anger and hatred.

Their desire for revenge has contorted their faces as they bolted toward the Million Demons Banner.

“What do you want?” Mo Yuanlie sneered coldly, “I see, the lucky Getian gods that have escaped death. Are you trying to avenge your people? How dare you! I can turn you lots into specks of dust with just a single blow of air!”

Krong—

A Getian god smashed his fist on his face and brought away a huge chunk of meat away with his punch. Mo Yuanlie roared in anger, but he couldn’t even muster up a single strand of his cultivation base and his heart sank suddenly.

The injuries were too severe. Zhong Yue’s two sword strike had cut him away from the Daos in his body, he couldn’t even cast a single skill.

“Beat him to death!” Another Getian god shrieked in pain from the loss of his people.

The Getian gods pounced on him like beasts. They was in no formation and has no cooperation among them. They didn’t even use any skills, only punches, kicks, and even eating his body away with their mouths!

They were like a pack of wolves feasting on Mo Yuanlie, tearing his body away into chunks and torturing his Yuan Shen. Mo Yuanlie could do nothing about it other than screaming in pain.

His cry was so miserable that he seemed to have suffered unimaginable pain.

After a long time, Mo Yuanlie’s voices were slowly getting lower and lower. A figure arrived at the scene, it was Zhong Yue who stopped at a distance away and didn’t get close.

He was right there standing, watched as the surviving Getian gods feast on Mo Yuanlie. And while his face looked indifferent, his heart was experiencing waves of emotions.

“Mo Yuanlie was one of the few that stood just a fine line below the monarchs, who would’ve thought he would die this way. When comparing to die in the mouths of these lowly gods in his eyes, he’d most probably be more willing to be killed by me, doesn’t he? But, karma always find a way. He had slaughtered the Getian gods, it’s only natural that he die this way. An eye for an eye, he deserved this.”

Zhong Yue stood unmoving, waited patiently until the Getian gods finished eating the last piece of Mo Yuanlie’s body. He only rested assured until he confirmed Mo Yuanlie’s death.

“Getians, refrain yourselves from the banner.” He warned the Getian gods, “It’s Innate Demon Monarch’s banner. Touch it, and death will find you.”

The Getian gods bowed respectfully at him, their leader replied, “King Yi, thank you. We will never forget the help you have done for us today. Ge Zhengying will be sure to repay you in the future!”
