Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu was heading toward Ninestar Island. The nearer he got to Ninestar Island, the denser the ambient source qi became. Additionally, the entire place had a bloody aura to it. Evidently, a lot of blood had been spilled as of late.

Suddenly, Su Yu heard booming sounds coming not far ahead of him. When he focused, he saw two Cloudbreach experts in a fight against each other. One of them was a dragon while the other was a devil. Both glanced at Su Yu when they sensed his arrival.

Devilish qi overflowed out of the devil while the massive dragon coiled grandly in the sky.

As of late, many battles had broken out between the devils and the dragons. The truly powerful experts had remained uninvolved, but the lackeys had been constantly engaged in fights. The main reason for this hostility was the exorbitant price the devils were trying to charge the dragons for the ancient dragonblood tree.

“Audacious! How dare you sneak around us. Are you trying to ambush us?”

Perhaps the two had not been able to decide on a victor even after a long battle. When they saw someone else appearing, they both decided to take their anger out on the newcomer without a word to each other.

Su Yu was left completely speechless. Who the fuck was ambushing them? Seriously! This was crazy. Did they decide to go with that narrative because he looked like a weak second-stage Cloudbreach they could easily bully?

Oh well. Since they were eagerly throwing themselves at him, he would gladly do them this favor and introduce them to the afterlife. This was a great opportunity for him to test his newly strengthened Sky Sundering Saber. How kind of them to volunteer as his test subjects.

A saber appeared in his hand. Instantly, the saber-shaped source qi from his 144 acupoints flowed into the saber.

“Sky Sundering!”

A roar rang out. Both the dragon and devil were alarmed to hear that. Was this someone from Great Xia? Huang Teng? No. This wasn’t right. They were sure Huang Teng wasn’t here. That fellow was still busy fleeing from the blood fire devils.

That was where all thought processes ended for them. First, they saw a dazzling blade appearing before them with a flicker. Next, the world spun as they saw each other’s severed head. That was the last thing they saw. With a single strike, two Cloudbreaches of major races had been killed.

Su Yu himself was surprised by the might of his saber. He had only exerted his physical strength for that swing. Then again, his physical strength was already comparable to that of a Mountainsea. Coupled with his heaven-grade Sky Sundering Saber, it wasn’t surprising for him to kill two Cloudbreaches with one strike.

He stored the two corpses away and started clearing all the auras left in the area. Before long, he was gone. Since he had killed the two major race Cloudbreaches, he had to leave as soon as possible to avoid any unwanted attention.

***

Su Yu continued moving toward Ninestar Island.

While moving, he extracted the blood essence from the two corpses before burning them into nothingness. He did not waste any time stopping as he needed to look for Tianduo and the little golden dragon on Ninestar Island.

His calm character was constantly active to minimize the chances of anyone noticing him. He was still maintaining the form of a mountainbreak bull. He needed to maintain a low profile. The mountainbreak bull race was the best choice for this. This was a race strong enough to enter the top 100 with an Invincible leading them. But they also weren’t too strong. Basically, this was not a race feared by many. But at the same time, this was also a race people wouldn’t underestimate for the most part.

Suddenly, Su Yu’s expression changed again. Did he catch someone’s eyes again? Was someone here to supply him with blood essence again? A Cloudbreach was trailing him while hiding underwater. Was that an aquatic beast? His senses weren’t too clear, so he wasn’t sure.

***

At the same time.

Underwater.

Topsoil Spirit was looking up at the mountainbreak bull in the air. This…was great! He was very pleased with this encounter. The blood essence of the mountainbreak bulls was quite valuable. It was popular for both body forging and foundation building as it had a good quality-price ratio.

What a pity that the mountainbreak bull above him was quite weak. Only a second-stage Cloudbreach. Well, since he was already here, he might as well reach out and grab the flying money above him.

Through his senses, Topsoil Spirit concluded that this wasn’t a dangerous opponent. In fact, this felt like it was going to be an easy opponent. But for some reason…he was getting a sense of familiarity from that bull. He wondered if that was a bull he had met before. He couldn’t recall.

The five elemental race was known for its unique abilities. For example, Su Yu had once witnessed a water elemental easily discovering the main body of an enemy hidden amid illusions.

And the secret behind that was actually quite simple. Those from the water elemental race were extremely sensitive toward the liquid in the body of any living being. Thus, when a water elemental encountered someone they had met before, they would be able to somewhat recognize that person even if the appearance of the person had changed.

Topsoil Spirit had naturally met Su Yu before. But some time had passed since then, and he had been involved in a lot of fights recently. Therefore, he was unable to fully recognize Su Yu. Furthermore, he was still an earth elemental, not a water elemental. Thus, he did not suspect anything when he saw Su Yu. He only thought that this was a mountainbreak bull he had met before.

“I could use some beef to nourish myself.”

At that thought, Topsoil Spirit started moving toward the surface. It was common knowledge that a certain phenomenon was unique to the Allheaven Battlefield. Su Yu had also learned about this on his first day in the Allheaven Battlefield.

For some reason, young geniuses could very easily encounter each other in the Allheaven Battlefield. For example, two geniuses who were initially tens of millions of kilometers away from each other could accidentally step on unknown teleportation formations at the same time and end up encountering each other after the teleportation.

And the current situation was the perfect demonstration of that unique phenomenon. It hadn’t even been that long since Topsoil Spirit left the island he was on previously, but he had already encountered Su Yu.

***

Topsoil Spirit was preparing to treat himself to a meal of roasted beef.

As for Su Yu, he was first surprised to notice a Cloudbreach tailing him. Then…his tribulation character started pulsing. This signified that this encounter might get dangerous. Was that a joke?

At this point, very few Cloudbreaches could pose a threat to Su Yu. What did that signify? A genius Cloudbreach? Yes, that was possible. Genius Cloudbreaches could still be very strong.

Both of them had discovered each other.

Su Yu was wondering about the identity of this new opponent. As for Topsoil Spirit, he was wondering how he should cook the beef to make it tastier. Should he roast it or boil it?

Slowly, Su Yu deviated from the direction toward Ninestar Island in order to move somewhere without any other people.

Topsoil Spirit was naturally more than happy to see that.

***

A short while later, they reached somewhere with no other people.

Su Yu remained silent.

His mysterious tail was moving closer and closer to him. In fact, that person was getting so confident that he was only staying about a hundred meters behind him. For an expert, that was no distance at all. They might as well be hugging each other. To be precise, his mysterious tail was hiding under the water right below him.

Suddenly, a wave that was bigger than the others rose from the sea. Rising together with the wave was a unique stream of water, surging straight toward Su Yu. A water elemental?

Su Yu was very surprised. Did he encounter a water elemental? His surprise was understandable. Those from the five elementals were very rarely seen. At the very least, that was the case for him. Topsoil Spirit was the only member of the five elemental race he had met in the Allheaven Battlefield so far.

And now, he had finally encountered a water elemental. No wonder he felt like his tail was very good at concealment. So it was a water elemental. The water elementals were even more at home in water than the dragons.

Seventh-stage Cloudbreach Realm? That was Su Yu’s judgment after sensing the incoming attack. He did not hesitate to throw his punch out.

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out. While stepping on the water surface, Su Yu took several steps back as intense waves of water rippled out around him. Inwardly, he was astonished.

So strong.

His body was comparable to a Mountainsea’s. But instead of killing this opponent with a punch, he was actually forced to take several steps back.

At the same time, Topsoil Spirit was greatly shocked as well. What the hell was happening? So strong! Was this really a second-stage Cloudbreach?

Bullshit! More like a second-stage Mountainsea!

But he was a genius. He could even punch above his weight to fight Mountainseas. But this was the issue. He wasn’t too afraid of actual second-stage Mountainseas. It wasn’t like he had never fought one before.

It would be much more terrifying if this opponent was really a second-stage Cloudbreach. That would be a truly scary possibility. A second-stage Cloudbreach with the strength of a second-stage Mountainsea was very different than an actual second-stage Mountainsea with the same level of strength.

After a single exchange, numerous thoughts rose in Topsoil Spirit’s mind. Which second-stage Cloudbreach was capable of fighting against second-stage Mountainseas? Several names appeared in his mind. And the moment he thought of those names, he started fleeing underwater without any hesitation.

He had not suffered any disadvantage during the previous clash. But it wasn’t a good idea to keep fighting an opponent like this. The mountainbreak bull race definitely did not have such a genius. That was absolute nonsense.

Something was wrong with this encounter.

Run!

His fear intensified when he thought of a certain individual. Or to be precise, a certain human. He cursed inwardly, hoping that he wouldn’t be unlucky enough to encounter that fellow again. That fellow was an expert at disguise.

As for Su Yu, he was both shocked and surprised. That was especially true when he noticed the brownish color of the so-called water elemental he was facing. Suddenly, he thought of something.

Was this…someone he met before?

Holy shit!

This was no water elemental! At that thought, he hurriedly turned into water and dove into the sea as well. And thus, a pursuit between two streams of water began in the sea.
