Tribulation of Myriad Races

Eastrift Valley, human territory.

Great Qin King stood up and raised his spear. His sonorous voice spread throughout the Allheaven Battlefield.

“For attempting to kill Su Yu, a human, the Silkwyrm King has been executed. Divine, devil, immortal, dragon, and all the other races. Watch yourself. The human race might be weak, but we won’t allow anyone to step on us.

“Silkwyrm King has been executed. The Silkwyrm Realm has been destroyed. This serves as a warning. The human and immortal races are allied. If the immortal race wishes to end the alliance, we hope the Ancient Immortal Emperor can meet us and end it officially.”

Silence enveloped the various realms. Only Great Qin King’s voice could be heard across the various realms.

Again and again.

His voice resounded.

He raised his spear, its projection visible in the entire Allheaven Battlefield, and its aura pressed down upon the various realms. The entire eastern sector was covered by the projection of the spear.

At the southern sector, the Devil Pseudo Emperor’s silhouette appeared in the sky. WIth the crown on his head and his hands clasped on his back, he stood on the River of Time and gazed eastward. Apart from a sigh, he said nothing.

At the western sector, an ancient expert also manifested himself in the sky. His divine radiance spread across the Allheaven Battlefield.

At the southern sector, an old immortal manifested himself after a long while. His soft voice rang out, “The immortal-human alliance still stands. All the immortal kings shall reflect on their actions. Qin Guang, excessive murder is ill-advised. Silkwyrm…sigh.”

Leaving that sigh behind, his figure vanished.

At the same time, the two figures at the west and south vanished as well. The entire Allheaven Battlefield had sunk into absolute silence due to the appearance of these legendary individuals. Numerous Invincibles watched in silence, some with solemn expressions and some with anxious expressions.

***

Mystic Armor Realm.

A ninth-stage Sunmoon flew out fearfully and said, “My king knows his errors. He wishes for your forgiveness.”

Heavenly Forge King had an odd expression.

Conceding?

True, that was inevitable. Even Heavenly Forge King himself was shocked. Four powerful experts had actually taken this chance to invade the Silkwyrm Realm and kill the Silkwyrm King.

Even now, the entire sky was still painted red. An Invincible had died. That light would last at least three days before fading. Heavenly Forge King was surprised to see that they had really killed Silkwyrm King.

Were they throwing caution to the wind?

Yes, this could deter some people. But it would also cause the others to fear the human race even more. As far as Heavenly Forge King was concerned, this was the same as drinking poison to quench one’s thirst. It could further persuade the myriad hands to join up against the human race.

Were they…getting ready to fight a war between all realms? No joy could be seen on Heavenly Forge King’s face. This was the prelude to a big war. The death of an Invincible was used as the opening act. Was…the human race really ready?

This time, the human race had launched a surprise attack while everyone’s attention was occupied by the ancient city. With the myriad races on alert, it wouldn’t be so easy to pull this off again.

It was also a risky act to send four Invincibles at once. If the information was leaked, the four might end up surrounded and killed. The moment blood started flowing, everyone would stop caring that much about the consequences.

Heavenly Forge King was deeply worried.

***

The silence enveloping the Allheaven Battlefield lasted a long while.

Nobody said anything. Nobody moved.

Everyone stared at the curtain of light covering the sky. An Invincible had perished.

In comparison, the previous ancient city incident where only a few tri-life bodies were lost wasn’t even worth mentioning. Since those Invincibles were still alive, they could still recover. Meanwhile, Silkwyrm King was truly dead.

The Silkwyrm Realm had been destroyed.

Even if the realm wasn’t fully destroyed, the silkwyrm race would be on the decline after this. It was likely they didn’t even have any Sunmoon left. Or there might be some left in the Allheaven Battlefield, but these would likely turn into vagrants. That race was as good as exterminated. The silkwyrm race had ceased being a top 100 race.

***

Inside the ancient city.

Su Yu nearly died of death qi erosion because he was too shocked by the sight he saw in the sky that he forgot to continue reversing his death qi. What was going on? With trembling hands, he opened the door and looked at the horizon. The boundless radiance covered the entire sky. He also saw the massive star falling from the sky.

After a while, he finally heard Great Qin King’s voice. He also heard the reply of the immortal. Silkwyrm King had been killed. An Invincible had died.

Su Yu was stunned. The human race did that?

Since when was the human race so brave?

Did they do that for him?

According to Great Qin King, the human Invincibles had attacked because the silkwyrm race was involved in surrounding him.

A realm was destroyed.

A race ceased existing.

Just not long ago, a Sunmoon silkwyrm was still in the city shouting at him. But now, the entire silkwyrm race was no more? Su Yu swallowed. Was he…so important? Since when did the human Invincibles become so kind toward him? Killing an Invincible for him?

He was surprised and overwhelmed with disbelief. He even felt…slightly excited. Was this…considered a treatment to a member of a major race? Was this a treatment enjoyed by a super genius?

He had never experienced this before. Sure, he did experience such a feeling slightly when Great Xia King and Great Ming King came for him before, but he didn’t feel as strongly about that.

But this time, Great Qin King had declared the destruction of an entire realm for participating in the attack against him.

Su Yu felt like his emotions were running slightly out of control.

“Destroying a realm…for me?”

He muttered with disbelief, indignance, and a slight joy.

His emotions were complicated. He hurriedly put his white mask on to hide his expression. He didn’t know what to feel about this. He had always felt that humanity had abandoned him. Or to be precise, he had always felt that the multiple character faction was separate from humanity.

There was no relationship between the two.

But Great Qin King had told him from afar that it wasn’t the case. Their hands were tied for various reasons, but they still did something.

An Invincible was killed. The myriad races were warned. They were reminded that the human race was still a top 10 race. The human race was still the overlord of the eastern sector.

It was understandable for the more powerful races like the divines, devils, and immortals to provoke them. But smaller races should not have the courage to do so. Just having an Invincible or two would not change anything. For these major races, a race would remain a minor race until it gained Invincibles in the double digits.

If such a race dared to provoke them, punishment shall be delivered.

Su Yu could only hide his face with his mask. He did not want anyone to see him losing himself to his emotions, to see the slight look of loss mixed amid his complicated expression.

He…did not need this.

They didn’t need to do anything for him.

He was afraid of this.

It hadn’t been easy for him to finally decide that he, Su Yu, was only Su Yu. He was not Su Yu of the human race. He was just Su Yu. But Great Qin King was saying that he was Su Yu of the human race.

With complicated expressions, he shut the door. But immediately after, he opened the door again and rushed outside the city. He did not care about all that. This had nothing to do with him. He was not interested.

He would continue being him. They could kill whoever they wanted. It was none of his business. He did not want to hear their voices. He did not need their help. He was only him. He was only Su Yu. Not Su Yu of so and so race. No!

Su Yu, who was only nineteen, was undergoing intense emotional turmoil. He was touched, furious, indignant, unwilling, and proud. Look at that! He was still someone with a backer! He still had a lot of Invincibles behind him! Look clearly! If they dared to provoke him, they would lose their Invincible!

He buried his emotions deep in his heart. No. He denied this favor. He did not require this favor. The human race had always been unfriendly toward his teacher, grandteacher, Teacher Liu, and the multiple character faction.

He did not need this favor!

His martial uncle was still living the life of a fugitive. His teacher and grandteacher were still suffering in Great Xia. His Teacher Liu was still undergoing untold sufferings in the Allheaven Battlefield. He did not need the help of humanity.

He shut down his feelings. He tossed all those thoughts out of his mind. Turning into a water elemental, he dove into the sea outside the city. Nothing mattered except the carrier treasures.

He only kept the carrier treasures in his mind. He ignored everything. He did not know how to deal with his emotions. Thus, he could only numb himself with treasures.

***

Su Yu was not the only person affected by the actions of humanity.

The entire Allheaven Battlefield sank into silence yet again.

Invincibles and Sunmoons returned.

Too many major events had happened in the span of one day.

Numerous Invincibles had suffered. Of the ten Invincibles involved in the recent events, six of them had lost their tri-life bodies. In only one month, ten Invincibles had suffered heavy injuries and one Invincible had died.

The divine, devil, dragon, and immortal races had each contributed two Invincibles to this number.

Even an Invincible from the nether race had suffered grave injuries. Of the major races, the human race was the one who had suffered barely any damage. Meanwhile, the deaths of five late-stage Sunmoons had been reduced into a negligible event.

Compared to the death of an Invincible, their deaths were insignificant. They had been promptly forgotten not long after their deaths.

***

That day, everyone was reminded of the existence of the human race.

Numerous minor races trembled in fear. The human race was still a superpower. This was the ancient overlord of the myriad races. Even if it had declined, this was still not a race anyone could provoke.

The Invincibles of the ape and nether races hurriedly gathered up to consolidate their realm defenses. Mystic Armor King apologized to the human race.

The divines, devils, and other major races also pulled back from the front lines. The Invincibles of the top 100 races started contacting each other. It was time to be on high alert. This might be the start of a war between the myriad races.

Peace returned to Grandstar City.

The two surviving Sunmoons trembled in fear inside their buildings. Even the Sunmoons who had chosen to convert into residents were also trembling in fear. Nobody dared to make any sound.

When Su Yu returned to the city with his treasures, not a single person could be seen on the streets.

“Two carriers…”

With treasures in hand, Su Yu’s mood had improved. The previous matter was completely unrelated to him. He had completely forgotten about it. He only remembered the two treasures in his hands.

How lucky. But it was quite unfortunate as well. He was expecting more. Of the four Invincibles, he recalled seeing the destruction of three bodies. Was one of them destroyed during the fight?

The same thing had probably happened during the previous incident as well. That was why he only saw the carrier of the nether race after the incident. This time, he was quite lucky since two carriers had survived.

***

At the same time.

Outside the city.

Xia Longwu was holding onto an unknown item while staring at Su Yu who had returned to the city. He looked down at the carrier treasure in his hand before laughing with amusement. The kid was quite fast.

So be it. He was happy enough with only one carrier treasure.

He then looked at the crimson radiance coming from the horizon. A sneer formed on his face. Was Silkwyrm King even worthy of dying to four Invincibles? He should be honored to receive such a death.

Then, Xia Longwu looked at the city again. When his gaze landed in the direction of the stone statue, slight fear flickered in his eyes as he vanished into thin air. That stone statue was absolutely not an existence he could afford to provoke.

Inside the city, the stone statue opened his eyes and looked at the departing Xia Longwu. He said nothing. Good. That guy might just create even more trouble if he remained. Sure, the stone statue welcomed trouble because he wanted an excuse to leave. However…Su Yu needed a short break before that, right?

The human race was still as fierce as ever. Just look at how they had slaughtered an Eternal without any hesitation.
