Tribulation of Myriad Races

“Do you know the secret arts of the water elemental race?”

“Nope.” Su Yu declared confidently, “The racial ability alone is enough for me. The moment I turn into water, I can kill everyone while nobody can hit me.”

“…”

Holy shit. This was an idiot! The earth elemental released a string of curses inwardly. Why did he encounter such an elemental? He had been very happy to encounter a Cloudbreach. No matter what, the assistance of a Cloudbreach would be very useful. But he was wrong. This was a trap. A massive trap.

He wouldn’t be surprised if this fellow ended up doing something even more stupid later. This was someone who had never experienced the cruelty of society. He had to be careful lest the dumb choices of this fellow ended up implicating him as well.

The earth elemental started seriously considering running from this fellow. But he felt quite embarrassed to do it. After all, he was the one who had insisted on staying together earlier. Wouldn’t it be rude to suddenly change his mind?

This was exactly what Su Yu wanted to see. This fellow should just get out of his sight. He had decided to switch his disguise right after separating from this guy. What a bad disguise to pick.

As they traveled, they encountered more and more geniuses. Su Yu even sensed some Mountainseas passing by, but he didn’t sense any Sunmoons. At this point, a massive valley could already be vaguely seen far ahead of him.

Berserk saber qi could be seen in the air.

Even from afar, he could sense the prowess of that saber qi.

The earth elemental was no longer hesitating. If needed, he would definitely distance himself from this lunatic. He said, “The human race still has a lot of experts. Truly worthy of being a top-10 race. A single slash by Great Xia King back then formed the famous Skyrend Valley. Even now, the prowess of his slash can still be felt.”

“Great Xia King?”

Only then did Su Yu know that this valley was created by Great Xia King. He was quite surprised. When he heard the story about the two Invincibles who had fought here before, it was not mentioned that one of them was Great Xia King.

He asked curiously, “Is Great Xia King very strong?”

“Very.” The earth elemental exclaimed with admiration, “The strongest Invincibles of humanity are Great Qin King, Great Xia King, and Great Zhou King.

“Great Xia King’s Sky Sundering Saber has cut down countless experts before. And in recent centuries, two Invincibles had perished under his blade. This valley was the result of his previous fight with a divine Invincible. Unfortunately, he didn’t manage to kill that Invincible back then. The Skyrend Valley would look entirely different otherwise.”

This was Su Yu’s first time hearing that Great Xia King had actually killed two Invincibles. He had only heard about one of them. During the fifth principal’s death, two myriad race Invincibles had perished. One of them was killed by Great Xia King while the other was killed by the fifth principal.

That old geezer was so strong. Unfortunately, his grandson was still not able to attempt dao affirmation in peace.

Skyrend Valley. A valley created by a cut of the Sky Sundering Saber.

A new thought emerged in Su Yu’s mind. This was a good place. He finally understood why Huang Teng decided to run this way. He had seen for himself how strong the Sky Sundering Saber of an expert could be.

Back when he was looking for the corpse of the Divine Skywing Sect master, he had personally experienced the Sky Sundering Saber expert of an expert. If it wasn’t for the fact that he knew Sky Sundering Saber as well, he would have been killed by Xia Longwu’s saber qi remnant.

And Xia Longwu wasn’t even an Invincible. His grandfather, Great Xia King, must be much stronger than that. If someone could trigger some of the remnant saber qi in the valley, they could probably get a lot of people killed. And Su Yu was sure that the people here were also aware of this.

Suddenly, he muttered, “Huang Teng is from Great Xia, right? Is he scheming something? Why did he choose to run here?”

The earth elemental answered, “Definitely. Thus, none of the devils dare to chase them into the valley. They are all worried that Huang Teng will trigger the saber qi in the valley. That would be very troublesome. That Tianduo won’t enter the valley without a proper plan.”

“Is Tianduo capable of suppressing the saber qi of an Invincible?”

“I’m not sure.” The earth elemental said, “The original devils definitely have some trump cards of their own. And there is no guarantee that Huang Teng is capable of triggering the saber qi there. Furthermore, the saber qi there has remained for centuries. It’s actually not as strong as you imagine. It might fully scatter away after some time.”

Suddenly, an incomparably seductive woman approached them. From afar, her laughter rang out, “Am I looking at the experts from the five elemental race?”

Su Yu looked over and sensed a thick devil aura approaching him. Someone from the devil race! As for which sub-race this person was from, he was unsure.

The earth elemental hurriedly replied, “Yes. May I know who I’m speaking to?”

“Firesplash devil race, Lan Ying.” The beautiful woman smiled, “Friends, Tianduo of the original devil race wishes to seek your assistance…”

“Piss off.” Su Yu scolded, “Assist my ass. How dare you stand in our way. Do you want to die?”

“…”

The earth elemental was stunned. He cursed inwardly. Holy shit! He knew it! He shouldn’t have stayed with this fellow! Was he dumb? Why did he travel with this fellow?

Lan Ying was also stunned. Her smile vanished as she asked, “Brother from the water elemental race, are we enemies?”

Weren’t water elementals supposed to be mild in temper? Was this fellow sure he was a water elemental and not a fire elemental?

Su Yu held nothing back, “Fuck off. The moment you spoke, I knew you were harboring evil designs toward us. You will first get us to help with killing Huang Teng before turning around to kill us. This is such an obvious scheme. You should read more. I am not interested in associating myself with devils. The reputation of devils is worse than humans. Don’t think that I’m not aware of your plan. You’re trying to kill with a borrowed knife. Go look for someone else. If you keep standing in our way, we will join hands and kill you! You’re a third-stage Cloudbreach. You have enough strength for me to test my skills!”

“…”

The earth elemental said nothing, but he was cursing inwardly yet again. Then again, those words made a lot of sense as well. Killing with a borrowed knife. These damn devils must be dreaming. It was also true that the devils did not have a good reputation.

Su Yu continued, “I once met a blood fire devil. That damn bastard first offered to work together with me. But right after, he turned around to attack me. That damn lunatic. None of you devils can be trusted!”

“…”

Lan Ying was feeling very gloomy, “Blood fire devil…”

Fine, fine. It was those damn fellows again. They were the reason the devils had such a terrible reputation. And that was indeed a race of lunatics.

What else could Lan Ying say? She indifferently said, “Since you’re not willing to work together, you better not interfere as well. I can’t be bothered to the two of you a lesson for hurling abuses at the devil race, but don’t get too cocky, elementals.”

After saying that, she flew off to look for other helpers. The earth elemental felt like crying. He was not the one who had hurled abuses at the devils! He was not the cocky one! It was this damn fellow here! How was that his business? Holy shit. He must leave. This damn fellow would only create more enemies for him.

Because of this crazy water elemental, he had incurred the displeasure of the devils before even reaching the Skyrend Valley. He felt miserable.

As for Su Yu, he was still busy cursing, “None of those damn devils can be trusted. Brother Earth, we should have worked together to kill that devil. It’s only a third-stage Cloudbreach!”

The earth elemental finally ended his earth transformation state and turned humanoid again. He stared at the water elemental with the urge to start cussing. What was the cultivation of this damn water elemental? Only a third-stage Cloudbreach? What stage was this damn fellow at?

The earth elemental decided to take his leave. He said, “Brother Water, I need to go. An old friend is asking for my help. I’ll see you later. You can go to the Skyrend Valley first.”

“Sure. I’ll look for you later. I can go with you as well if you need help. Those damn devils are definitely harboring evil designs toward us. Brother Earth, I think it will be safer for you if we stick together.”

Screw that! This lunatic himself was the source of danger.

“No, it’s fine. I’ll be done shortly. Brother Water, see you later…”

After leaving those words behind, the earth elemental instantly dove into the ground and vanished. Fuck. He wasn’t going to travel with this fellow anymore.

What rotten luck!

If it wasn’t for this fellow, he could have interacted more with the devils. Even if he didn’t end up helping, he could still find a way to stay there as a spectator. He was here to watch a show, but the mad water elemental had turned himself into the main show.

With the earth elemental’s departure, Su Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

Finally, that fellow was gone. It was too annoying to have another person following him around. He resumed his journey. Since there were more and more people in the vicinity, he couldn’t find a chance to change his disguise. He could only continue traveling as a water elemental.
