Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu wasn’t aware of the conversation between the stone statue and Wan Tiansheng. At the moment, he was busy feeling smug.

He looked at Wan Tiansheng with a smug expression. Just look at this! He was indeed tight with his big brother! It was no big deal. He was just that important. Look at how quickly the stone statue had agreed to help.

Wan Tiansheng had nothing else to say. Since the stone statue had agreed, he had no reason to remain. He grabbed Su Yu, entered the River of Time, and started returning to reality.

Behind him, the stone statue’s indistinct voice rang out again, “Not having a future does not equate to not having hope. Young Friend, as long as the present remains, the future might not be all that important.”

“Thank you for the guidance, Senior.”

Wan Tiansheng gave the stone statue a slight bow to express his gratitude. Su Yu was completely unaware of this exchange.

With a smile, Wan Tiansheng vanished into the distance with Su Yu.

“Sigh.”

Only a sigh was left ringing about in the River of Time.

***

A short while later, the two returned to reality.

At the same time, the stone statue opened his eyes in the ancient city. Some additional memories had appeared in his mind. He stared at the sky and sank into thought.

So he had agreed to do Su Yu this favor?

Favor?

Trouble?

Solving the trouble?

Understood!

Naturally, he would only act within the bounds of the ancient laws. For example, if someone challenged them or created trouble, he could act on behalf of the mayor. As far as the stone statue was concerned, the best method to solve a problem was to eliminate the problem.

The stone statue thought about a lot of things. So everyone needed to believe that Su Yu was still in the city, right? The stone statue then looked outside the city. His gaze seemed to pierce far away, as though he could see through time itself to see what was going to happen soon and the identity of the troublemaker.

Then, the stone statue started waiting.

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was quite efficient.

The moment the enforcer elder requested to have Profound Nine’s identity verified, the headquarters moved impatiently. Some believed that Profound Nine couldn’t be Su Yu, but they couldn’t be too safe.

Profound Nine was strong, courageous, and capable. He might be crazy, but that was also precisely what the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion needed. Profound Nine stood a chance at being an elder or ascending to an even higher position. Thus, it was important to determine if his identity was problematic.

Before long, a faceless elder and several pavilion members arrived outside the city.

The elder looked at one of the black masks and said, “Go and try. If Su Yu does not show himself or give any reply, leave the city.”

“Yes!”

The black mask entered the city. After a short while, he reached the mayor’s residence.

Standing outside the mayor’s residence, the black mask suppressed his nervousness and shouted, “Mayor Su Yu, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion has an important matter to discuss with you. Please grant us a meeting.”

“Mayor Su, if you’re hearing this, please see us.”

The experts in the city heard the commotion and left their buildings to watch. Most of them were watching indifferently. That was especially true for the Sunmoons who had recently converted into residents. They watched coldly, wondering what business the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was speaking of.

After a while, the black mask grew more and more nervous when he saw that there was no reply.

He hesitated slightly and shouted again, “Mayor Su, your father is in our hands. If you refuse to—”

“Audacious! How dare you provoke me?”

With a roar, the entire city shook. A dark beam of light shot out of the mayor’s residence, blasting the black mask into pieces. At the same time, an indistinct figure shot out of the city and threw a punch.

Boom!

A spatial crack appeared where the faceless elder stood previously. That single punch had killed everyone except the faceless elder. Even the faceless elder had fallen into the Sea of Stars while coughing blood.

Then, a furious roar resounded in the area, “Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, how audacious of you to challenge me. Ancient stone statue, I beseech you to lend me a hand. Stone statues of the thirty-six holy cities, please assist me!”

Right after those words were said, a stone statue appeared in the sky. A punch was thrown.

Rumble!

Under the shocked gazes of countless residents, space shattered as the punch shot out of the city. The faceless elder panicked, but before he could do anything, his body was blasted apart. Not even his sea of willpower survived.

A moon fell from the sky.

Then, the sound of a door slamming shut rang out from the mayor’s residence. Countless people were shocked, stunned, and alarmed. What the fuck? What was it this time?

Also, had the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion gone mad? Did they have too much free time on their hands? Why did they provoke Su Yu for no reason?

Just like that, a late-stage Sunmoon had perished.

And that was not all. The air above the city shook as the projections of one stone statue after another appeared. All thirty-five of them looked at the stone statue in the city.

After thinking about it, Grandstar sent them a voice transmission, “My mayor asked for my help. This was a mayor I picked myself. Bullying the mayor is the same as bullying me.”

The other stone statues stared at him with stupefaction.

Among them, Heavendoom was the most stupefied one. Even though he was only here as a projection, he was still able to rewind time to see the truth. When he was done, he exclaimed, “You…summoned all of us…for a mayor whose generation none of us can even remember?”

Holy shit!

Was Grandstar sick?

Was he crazy?

Had his brain been corroded by death qi?

Grandstar ignored him and said, “Let’s each throw a punch and shatter space apart to pinpoint the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion’s headquarters. We’ll blast them up.”

“…”

All the stone statues were stunned to hear that.

Grandstar said, “There is no need to track anything else. The Heavenly Hunt Index is most definitely in their headquarters. Everyone, please assist me.”

They couldn’t track the headquarters, but they could track the Heavenly Hunt Index. After all, they knew the aura and the appearance of that thing. The other stone statues remained stunned. Without even waiting for their reply, Grandstar threw a punch at the sky.

With the same stunned expressions, the thirty-five stone statues threw their punches as well. After throwing their punches, they all vanished. Grandstar had gone mad. They did not feel like staying any longer. This was not how the holy oath was meant to be used. That guy must have gone crazy.

The stone statue had left as quickly as they had arrived. Moments later, a deafening explosion rang out. Across the Allheaven Battlefield, countless people saw the sky splitting apart. The opening revealed countless shining stars.

And amid the shining stars, floating in the boundless void was a massive palace.

Thirty-six punches descended upon that palace.

At the same time, the furious roar of the stone statue rang out, “How impudent of you to challenge the holy cities. Receive your punishment.”

Boom!

Six Invincibles flew out of the ancient palace. All of them attacked.

Countless explosions erupted.

Six Invincibles had been forced to personally handle the thirty-six punches launched from afar.

Countless people were alarmed.

The deafening explosions only lasted for a split second before silence returned.

The six Invincibles were akin to radiant suns, but their radiance had dimmed considerably. One of them roared in fury, “Thirty-six holy cities! You…”

Just what was going on?

What happened?

Holy shit!

Their headquarters had actually been attacked by the thirty-six stone statues. But that was the last of their worries. The six Invincibles instantly paled as they hurriedly pushed the massive palace and vanished amid the boundless void.

Run!

Damn it! They were in big trouble.

The biggest reason why the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was so enigmatic was their unknown whereabouts. But the thirty-six stone statues had revealed their location to the world. What else could they do but flee? Were they supposed to stay idle and wait for death? Running was the right thing to do.

The Invincibles fled madly with the palace. At the same time, numerous Rivers of Time appeared all over the Allheaven Battlefield as the various Invincibles started rushing toward the boundless space.

Great Qin King and Great Xia King were among them.

The divines, devils immortals, dragons, nethers, celestial chasms, and many others did the same. In the blink of an eye, over twenty powerful Invincibles tore space apart. Some traversed the void and some traversed the River of Time. All of them arrived moments later.

Nobody said anything. Instead, they started scanning their surroundings in search for the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Numerous radiant dots of light appeared in the boundless void.

Most of the time, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was able to operate with impunity not because nobody could do anything to them. In fact, a lot of people found them annoying. Unfortunately, their whereabouts were unknown. Thus, the various Invincibles were unable to do anything toward them.

But today, those fools had somehow provoked the ancient stone statues. As a result, their headquarters were exposed before everyone. This was the perfect opportunity to eliminate them once and for all.

The Invincibles started searching the area. But soon, disappointment hit them. The pavilion was very fast at running. They were unable to find anything.

But on the bright side, they now knew that the pavilion had always hidden itself amid the boundless void. And they were finally sure that the pavilion was an organization with multiple Invincibles.

Six of them had appeared this time. That was probably all the Invincibles that were staying in their headquarters.

Most people guessed that the pavilion had eight Invincibles in total. Two spire masters, two chamber masters, and four department heads. The other two were probably away from the headquarters, leaving only six behind. And not long after, everyone found out why the stone statues had attacked.

***

Once again, Su Yu’s name resounded all over the Myriad Realms.

As of that moment, he became the sole center of attention.

His latest feat overshadowed even what Profound Nine did recently.

Su Yu, the first ancient city mayor in history the stone statues had fought for. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had gone mad and provoked him by kidnapping his father. In his fury, he requested the assistance of a stone statue. Grandstar appeared and blasted a late-stage Sunmoon from the pavilion apart.

Then, all the other stone statues made an appearance and attacked the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion’s headquarters. After that, Su Yu even announced that he would not stop his attack against the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion unless his father was released.
