Rise Of Humanity Chapter 553 - Flawless Goddess

Chapter 553 - Flawless G.o.ddess

“How naive, you think I will still let you all live after knowing my secret?" His three pairs of b.l.o.o.d.y eyes shone with crafty malice. Unlike the others, the Xiao Mang grand ancestor was never a virtuous G.o.d.

Even the ferocious insect race G.o.ds who always hungered for blood couldn't raise any wicked thoughts on the Innate Moon G.o.d.

But this G.o.d — the Xiao Mang grand ancestor — not only dug out the Innate Moon G.o.d and replaced it with himself, but he even imprisoned her to siphon her energy for his own.

Who could ever be vicious than him?

In his heart, it didn't matter who the one that stole the moon core was, all he cared about was keeping his secret. And no one is better than a dead man at keeping a secret!

Even if that meant slaughtering the G.o.ds of the Ancestral Star!

After all, he was a G.o.d who even dared to betray his old master, the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor!

“Even if the world knows about it, I will kill the world too. Though, I will keep some newborns alive so that they will be able to wors.h.i.+p me when they grow old enough. Hehehe…”

A nefarious laughter resounded the place while he slaughters the G.o.ds. Everyone else in this world was just a tool he could use to grow stronger; if they weren't useful to him, then they were disposable.

The three-headed Pan Ao roared, the 【Moonlight Whistle G.o.dly Roar】 was a skill he created. It was strongest when he was the one that cast it out. In that one roar, the G.o.ds' Yuan Shen and mortal body shuddered, their arcane energy and skills were dispelled, and the totem patterns and psyche were wiped away.

The G.o.ds struggled to stand still while blood trickled out from their apertures on their heads.

Xia Que spurted out one mouthful of blood after another, he barely evaded the three-headed Pan Ao's attacks and chided, “You have such strength, why didn't you help fighting off the insect race? If you had done so, none of this would've happened, no one would ever know that you stole the moon core and imprisoned the moon G.o.d!”

The Xiao Mang grand ancestor's mortal body turned into a three-headed, four-armed celestial being and slammed his hands down. The impact force from one of the hands threw Xia Que off balance and immediately right after, another hand slammed down on him.

Xia Que was gravely wounded while the Xiao Mang grand ancestor's hand grabbed him up and sent him into the mouth of the middle head. The other two heads laughed, “What does that have to do with me? I don't care if it's you or the insects that live on this planet, and neither does it matter to me. Even if the insect race wiped all of you away, I can still conquer the insect race and make them wors.h.i.+p me. In fact, that would be easier for me at the end!”

Xia Que was swallowed away into his stomach. Even the Martial Divine Master couldn't survive inside the stomach of a Deity Overlord. In just seconds, Xia Que was already fully digested into nutrients that nourished Xiao Mang grand ancestor's mortal body.

The other G.o.ds were incensed. The Xiao Mang grand ancestor was an ancient figure who had lived for over fifty thousand years, he was a Deity Overlord, possessing a strength far beyond their reach. Even if when he was wounded by the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor, he was still a figure they couldn't defeat.

The G.o.ds were continuously vomiting out blood; they were hanging onto their lives by a thread. Even a casual wave of  the Xiao Mang grand ancestor's hand could easily destroy their mortal body and Yuan Shen.

The Xiao Mang grand ancestor laughed loudly, and another two insect G.o.ds were eaten away!

“Run!”

The G.o.ds didn't dare to linger any longer, they quickly turned and bolted away. But suddenly, Xiao Mang grand ancestor's mortal body turned and his two heads flew out from his body.

The two heads turned into a separate G.o.d each and stopped the G.o.ds from escaping!

These two G.o.ds were his incarnations. But it wasn't a surprise at all that he had them as well, after all, he was the one who taught it to Feng Wuji!

His two incarnations were strong as well, possessing thirty-percent of his total prowess. Of the initial nineteen G.o.ds, only ten were left, all of whom had already sustained grievious injuries. How could they ever able to fight against the two Xiao Mang grand ancestor's incarnations!

It was a ma.s.sacre, one that none of the G.o.ds could run away from!

“Run? Where to? There is not a place in the Ancestral Star you can go. Even if you escape now, you wouldn't be able to hide for long, I will hunt you down one by one!”

Xiao Mang grand ancestor's mortal body stood still as he guffawed smugly. He looked at the moon core hovering in mid-air with a pair of greedy eyes. Then, he raised his hand and clawed toward the moon core.

“Little treasure, you are finally come back to my hands. I never thought that it would be just a mere human who stole you away from me, not even a G.o.d.”

All of a sudden, the moon core shattered into pieces. The G.o.ddess in it hovered in the air and slowly raised her jade-like arm while she said placidly, “If the first mistake is done, the second will come. Furthermore, you are not wise at all.”

The two palms gently touched together and the world went dead silent.

Even the G.o.ds that were fighting with Xiao Mang grand ancestor's incarnations stopped. It was as if the world had suddenly pressed the pause b.u.t.ton.

Then, as if the play b.u.t.ton was pressed again, a disastrous wave of energy made of the natural elements blasted out into the surrounding. The G.o.ds, including Xiao Mang grand ancestor's two incarnations were catapulted into the air by the wave of energy!

Within the blastwave, there was a shabby copper lamp that was hurled out along with the G.o.ds!

“You came alive?" Xiao Mang grand ancestor's face changed drastically, blood trickled out from his mouth and he suddenly released a shrill roar. The two incarnations flew back and returned to his body.

Xiao Mang grand ancestor gave a cold humph, his aura burst out into the surroundings as he pounced toward the G.o.ddess, “What can you do even if you are awakened? You are just a newborn innate G.o.d, you will only make a perfect medicinal herb for me in extend my life! Tai Yin Divine Sword!”

Three Sword Qi were formed within his mouths and they were shot out at the G.o.ddess.

These three Sword Qi looked like they were forged from ice but they were in fact, made from the Innate Tai Yin Qi.

The Tai Yin Qi was a grade higher than the Pure Yin Qi, it was even more valuable and precious than the Pure Yin Qi. The Pure Yin Qi was already an incredible treasure, even the G.o.ds could not cultivate them, only the Moon Innate Spirit Body could. The G.o.ds could only acquire them from refining the Sun Innate Spirit Body or treasures that contained the Pure Yin Qi.

Tai Yin Qi was even more valuable than that. Only the Innate Moon Spirit Body could potentially cultivate the Tai Yin Qi upon ascending to a deity.

As for the Innate Tai Yin Qi, only the Innate Moon G.o.ds could ever cultivate such a marvelous Sword Qi.

These three Tai Yin Divine Swords of the Xiao Mang grand ancestor were formed from three surges of Innate Tai Yin Qi he extracted out from the moon G.o.d. These three Sword Qi were regarded as his biggest trump card, he didn't even use it during the battle with Bi Xie Celestial Emperor.

With the moon G.o.d awakened now, he was shocked and overjoyed. All he wanted to do was to suppress the moon G.o.ddess and seal her away so he could refine her essence for himself!

Thus, he didn't even hesitate to cast the three divine swords!

But the G.o.ddess seemed unphased by all this as her face seemed devoid of all emotion. Without even moving her arm, she extended her arm out.

“It's time that you return what you stole from me." Her fingers elegantly tapped on the Tai Yin Divine Swords, emitting a metallic clanking sound.

The G.o.ds that were still yet to land on the ground from the energy blastwave were caught up in the metallic clanking noise and all spurted out another mouth of blood. Without any hesitation, they forced through their limits and bolted away right at the moment they landed on the ground!

The metallic clanking noises would blast beside them, each noise was able to hit them hard and cause them to be even more wounded.

Suddenly, an insect G.o.d and two mother G.o.ds fell to the ground dead. Their Yuan Shen were completely shattered away by the noises as died on the spot!

There weren't many insect G.o.ds left after the Xiao Mang grand ancestor ate five insect G.o.ds and one mother G.o.d, and now, another three of them were killed, leaving only one insect G.o.d and two mother G.o.ds remaining.

On the other hand, the seven Ancestral Star G.o.ds were only left with four surviving.

“This lamp!" Mother Da Zhen's Yuan Shen was shuddering violently. Suddenly, her attention was caught by the copper lamp. Even the G.o.ds like them couldn't withstand the aftermath of the battle between the two strong figures; yet, this copper lamp was able to remain unscathed!

“It must be a treasure!" Mother Da Zhen clutched the copper lamp and flew away quickly. The other G.o.ds also bolted out in different directions, no one daring to stay for even a split second longer.

As her fingers tapped on the Tai Yin Divine Swords, the totem patterns and marks on the divine swords splintered. Xiao Mang grand ancestor's face changed drastically, the three divine swords were broken away, severing his connection to them.

He had spent over a hundred thousand years to forge these three divine swords, but in just seconds, they were all destroyed.

The three divine swords exploded away and turned into three surges of Innate Tai Yin Qi that flowed around the G.o.ddess. Two surges of the Innate Tai Yin Qi revolved around the G.o.ddess while the third turned into a hair band and tied on her ebony hairs.

Then, the G.o.ddess strolled toward Xiao Mang grand ancestor while she said softly, “The innate essence you stole from me, I need them back too.”

Xiao Mang grand ancestor's face was gloomy like the dark sky, he roared loudly and turned into the three-headed Pan Ao form!

“ 【Heavenly Moon Devouring Hound】 !”

Three huge mouths gnawed down on the G.o.ddess like three black holes. Even the s.p.a.ce in front of the Pan Ao heads was distorted and crumbled into his mouths!

His three tongues rolled down like three red curtains and curled around the G.o.ddess!

The moon G.o.d didn't avoid them, she leaped onto one of the tongues and immediately, the tongue became petrified into stone!

Xiao Mang grand ancestor panicked, but before he could chop off the petrified tongue, the affected area had already spread to his head, down to the neck and extending onto the other two heads.

In just a few moments, the huge Xiao Mang grand ancestor's mortal body had turned into a stone statue.

Once the G.o.ddess gotten in touch to his body, she extracted away the innate essence he stole from her out from his mortal body. His mortal body's natural lifespan had already long been depleted. He had only been able to sustain himself with the moon G.o.ddess' innate essence.

And once the G.o.ddess retook this innate essence, his mortal body began to rapidly lose all its vitality as it turned to stone. With the mortal body turning into a stone statue now, it would never be able to return back to its living state anymore.

Suddenly, the heads of the Pan Ao stone statue exploded and the Xiao Mang grand ancestor's three Yuan Shen with three inner cores flew away at a great speed.

Although his mortal body was dead, his Yuan Shen was still here. The Pure Yang Yuan Shen was his atman, and as long as it wasn't destroyed, he would still be alive in spirit form.
