Tribulation of Myriad Races

Meanwhile, Liu Wenyan was feeling both awkward and helpless.

He did not fear the individuals preparing to kill him. But if he did anything, he might expose his identity. And that would place him in even more danger. The Plain of Desires was a very troublesome place.

He had been traveling with Uncle Liu when they separated. He didn’t even know how that happened. He couldn’t even contact Uncle Liu anymore. Uncle Liu was probably still trapped somewhere. The only thing he could do was wait.

And the person he was supposed to help was already out of danger.

Fuck!

That kid was already capable of killing a gravely injured peak Mountainsea. He should be able to deal with these people, right? Liu Wenyan felt very awkward. His emotions were complicated.

Sigh. Life was truly unpredictable.

A year ago, he was still the big brother. He was the Skysoar while the kid was only a Source Opening brat. Only a short time had passed yet they had reached a point where the brat was asking him if he needed money after receiving his message.

That was so hurtful. He was Liu Wenyan. A great genius. How would he lack money? What joke was that? Then again, did the brat get even richer after killing so many people out here?

Liu Wenyan decided to stop moving and waited for the kid to arrive. This was so awkward. If he had known that the kid could leave without help, he wouldn’t have bothered coming all the way out here.

He sat down in a dispirited manner.

How pitiful. How did the great Liu Wenyan fall so low?

Meanwhile, that character was still proudly floating in his sea of willpower. Just how long would he take to fully absorb that character? Perhaps it was time for him to enter the Cloudbreach.

His speed was too slow. At that moment, several figures appeared around him. They all observed him warily. Was this old man someone from the human race? He did not feel too strong. He was probably a peak Skysoar…but for some reason, he felt dangerous to their senses. Should they make a move against him?

Liu Wenyan turned a blind eye to them. He knew where they came from. These were the people from the celestial wolf race. The members of this race tended to move about in groups. There were five of them around him. Three were Skysoars and two were Cloudbreaches.

If he really wanted to, he could kill them himself. But he might expose himself and attract unwanted attention to himself after doing that.

Su Yu…should be able to deal with these people, right? He wondered if that kid was near enough to make it in time. This place wasn’t that far from the Heavendoom City. He decided to wait and see.

And thus, Liu Wenyan sat calmly on a little mound while deep in thought. Seeing his calm, the celestial wolves became confused. They turned even more wary than before. Why was the old man not running? Slowly, they approached him.

***

Not long after, the panting Su Yu arrived not far away. With one gaze, he noticed Liu Wenyan atop a small mound. He had been rushing over like his life depended on it. He was so exhausted he felt like he was going to die.

What was his teacher doing? His teacher should have stayed in the Vanguard Regiment. There was no need to worry about him. He would be fine. Look at what was happening. His teacher had gotten himself surrounded by several wolves.

Su Yu couldn’t be bothered to say anything. With his Perception Jade, he noted the cultivation levels of these wolves. The three Skysoars could be ignored. As for the two Cloudbreaches, one was at the first stage and the other was at the third stage.

After getting used to killing Mountainseas, Su Yu no longer felt anything from Cloudbreaches. For him, any Cloudbreach not at Mo Duona’s level was nothing. Moving like a bolt of lightning, Su Yu flickered into existence right beside the third-stage Cloudbreach. Under the wolf’s shocked gaze, he brought his hammer down.

With a boom, the wolf’s sea of willpower was smashed apart.

Dead.

Yes. Su Yu’s willpower had grown even stronger than before. Combined with the brand new vibration method he learned from the stone statue, he was able to crush the sea of willpower of a Cloudbreach with a single hammer strike.

Without even sparing the dead wolf a second glance, Su Yu started flickering in and out of existence.

Four more hammer strikes were launched.

And the other four wolves died.

Seated atop the mound, Liu Wenyan stared at Su Yu with complicated emotions. The kid had killed them like they were little chicks. The wimpy brat from back then had truly grown strong.

This was his first time witnessing Su Yu’s strength. He still remembered Su Yu as a brat who needed to put his life on the line just to fight a normal cultist. He knew that the kid had grown stronger, but he had never witnessed the kid’s strength. Thus, his image of the kid had remained stuck in the past.

Today, he finally saw the kid’s strength for himself.

Strong.

The kid had killed all those people without breaking a sweat.

Liu Wenyan himself was also capable of killing the five wolves. But if he wanted to do it as easily as Su Yu, he would have to activate the fifth principal’s characters. Sure, even with his own cultivation of a fifth-stage Skysoar, he could still kill them. But it wouldn’t be so easy.

“Teacher!”

Su Yu put the five corpses away. He did not receive any heavenly reward from killing them, but he wasn’t too bothered. He was looking at Liu Wenyan with a happy smile on his face. It was worth noting that instead of using his own appearance, he was using the appearance of an ordinary-looking human.

“Yes.” Liu Wenyan stood up and nodded, “This was a test for you. Looks like you have grown decently. Your strength is decent now.”

Su Yu grinned. His teacher was still the same. Sure. Whatever.

“Where’s Grandpa Liu?”

“Lost somewhere.”

Liu Wenyan was feeling very helpless.

“It’s fine. We agreed to meet at Liu City in case something like this happened.”

Then, Liu Wenyan started looking Su Yu up and down. He didn’t mind that Su Yu wasn’t using his original appearance. After a while, he asked, “Is anyone aware that you’re out of the city?”

“No.”

Liu Wenyan nodded, “Good. I did not expect this.”

He smiled and asked, “Are you returning to the Eastrift Valley?”

“No.”

Su Yu shook his head, “I was actually planning to take a look at the people gathered near the city. I want to etch their faces in my mind. Even if I can’t kill them yet, I want to remember them.”

“I’m not even surprised.”

Su Yu was not someone who would run back home with his tail tucked.

He was well aware of how petty Su Yu was. After all, he was there to witness how the kid used to instigate Chen Hao to do all sorts of bad things during their childhood.

“Did you suffer any losses?”

“Nope.” Su Yu grinned, “Those people are not enough to make me suffer losses. I killed a large number of them. But it’s quite disappointing that the rest of them have all gone into hiding. I can’t do anything when they’re hiding inside the ancient buildings.”

“That’s not a bad thing.” Liu Wenyan rolled his eyes, “If you really did kill them all, you might even cause Invincibles to appear. I know the names of the people in there. A lot of them are Invincible descendants. If you kill more, Invincibles will really start appearing. There is no rush. You don’t need to kill them all now.”

Su Yu nodded. His teacher was right.

Liu Wenyan said, “Tell me your current plan and needs. Also, since you’re fine, don’t even think of relying on me. I am still trying to keep a low profile. If my presence here is leaked, even more powerful enemies might appear. That won’t be helpful to you.”

He had only set off because he believed that Su Yu’s life was in danger. Since Su Yu was safe, he should return to hiding.

Su Yu nodded. Then again, he had never placed much hope on Liu Wenyan. As far as he was concerned, Liu Wenyan was the person needing his help, not the other way around. After all, Liu Wenyan had inherited all the enemies of the fifth principal.

After thinking about it, Su Yu answered, “I’m aiming to kill as many of them as I can. If not, so be it. I can take my time and kill them in the future instead. Teacher, what do you think my chances are? I still have two talismans I can use to enter and leave the city…”

Understanding dawned on Liu Wenyan. No wonder the kid was able to leave. He did not ask about the origin of the talismans. Instead, he asked, “What is the highest level of strength you can reach?”

“About fourth or fifth-stage Mountainsea.” Su Yu shook his head, “No, forget it. Cultivation level is not an accurate measurement. Converted into the strength of a pure warrior, I can release the strength of about thirty thousand acupoints if I try my best.”

His own strength was near twenty thousand acupoints. With blood essence, he could probably reach around thirty or even forty thousand acupoints. And if he included his willpower and characters, he was confident he would be able to face even a fifth-stage Mountainsea.

Meanwhile, Liu Wenyan was cursing inwardly.

Fuck!

However, he maintained an unimpressed expression and said, “Not bad. But that’s not enough to deal with Sunmoons. You can’t imagine how powerful the Sunmoon Realm is. Even the weakest Sunmoon is as strong as five hundred thousand acupoints. The Sunmoon Realm is where you undergo a transformation. And even the most ordinary of a Sunmoon from the divine, devil, and other major races will be able to reach the strength of seven hundred thousand acupoints. And the Sunmoons gathered outside the Heavendoom City are most certainly not ordinary Sunmoons. It won’t be possible for you to kill them with your current strength.”

So strong!

Su Yu was very impressed to hear that. According to his calculation, even at seventy-two body forgings, he would only be able to reach the strength of around a million acupoints. In that case, even with seventy-two body forgings, he wouldn’t be anything special compared to Sunmoons?

What a pity. Even at the ninth-stage Skysoar Realm, he still wouldn’t be able to smoothly deal with Sunmoons. Previously, he had thought that he would be able to sweep through all Sunmoons after completing seventy-two body forgings. But that was merely a dream. It was still too difficult for a Skysoar to kill a Sunmoon.

But then, Liu Wenyan laughed, “But it’s not impossible.”

“Hmm?”

Liu Wenyan stroked his beard and said, “Kid, I won’t stop you from taking revenge on them. But you need to take the consequences into consideration.”

He switched to voice transmission, “You know about the character I inherited from my teacher. I am not very good at concealment, but I can lend my characters to you for a bit. You know how strong my teacher’s characters are. But you can’t keep them for long as your sea of willpower might burst apart. With peak Sunmoon characters, you can kill anyone you want.”

Su Yu’s eyes sparkled.

“Is that possible?”

“It might be difficult for others, but these characters were never mine. More importantly, you need to be compatible with it. Your sea of willpower also needs to be sturdy enough.”

Su Yu grew excited. They would know if his sea of willpower was sturdy enough after trying. With a peak Sunmoon character, even if he could use it for one strike, it would still be very impressive. For example, if it was a character that could freeze someone, he would simply freeze a Sunmoon before proceeding with the killing.

Teacher Liu might be old, but he was still as impressive as ever. He actually had this trump card up his sleeve? Amazing!
