Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu was completely dumbfounded.

Was this really Zhu Tiandao?

Was this a joke?

Old Zhu had easily killed a Pseudo Invincible. If Old Zhu was so strong, why had he allowed himself to look so miserable earlier?

Zhu Tiandao looked at the immortal king and asked, “Are the immortals joining the war against us as well? Are you officially severing the alliance between humans and immortals?”

“I’m only here in my personal capacity.” The immortal king said, “Zhu Tiandao, you have hidden yourself well. This is truly surprising.”

Not far away, Niu Baidao laughed heartily, “Hidden himself well? Nonsense. I have been aware of this for a long time. Prefect, you’ve finally decided to stop hiding. I guess you should stop praising your genius elder brother in the future. Isn’t it embarrassing to praise yourself all the time?”

Everyone blanked out.

The immortal king also blanked out slightly. His eyes lit up as he studied Zhu Tiandao. Finally, he said, “What an impressive scheme by Great Ming King. You have always been his sole son, right?”

Zhu Tiandao laughed, “What are you even talking about? I have an elder brother. He is much more capable than me. He has long affirmed his dao. Old Man, we only intended to kill the traitor. But since you insisted on interfering…let’s have some fun together.”

“I’ll be glad to entertain you.”

The immortal king smiled. The two vanished with a flicker. Like First Profound and his opponents, they had reappeared in a different dimension to conduct their battle. With his Hundred Dao Pagoda, Zhu Tiandao demonstrated an incredible level of combat strength. It almost seemed like he was suppressing the Invincible he was facing.

For some, that was a nightmarish scene. The myriad race experts were greatly horrified by what they were witnessing.

Holy shit!

Were these humans sick in their heads?

Did they have a fetish of hiding themselves for no good reason?

Even with such strength, they were still hiding. If it wasn’t for the incident today, these people would have continued biding their time.

Zhu Tiandao was actually capable of contending against Invincibles. Even if the Invincible he fought was only here in a tri-life body, that was already a remarkable achievement.

First Profound was also quite impressive, even if he did not seem to have the upper hand in his fight. Meanwhile, Zhu Tiandao looked like he was actually suppressing the immortal king he was facing.

***

After so many reveals, everyone was shocked by the strength humanity had been hiding.

Inside the faraway hall.

The indistinct silhouette was very surprised as well. Zhu Tiandao! What a close call. Fortunately, the myriad races had sent a lot of experts over as well.

He frowned, wondering if it was going to start now.

***

At the same time.

Allheaven Battlefield.

After receiving the latest update of what was happening, Great Qin King was left quite speechless. With a sigh, he said, “Great Ming…and Great Ming King…These people…”

Zhu Tiandao was actually near dao affirmation.

“Scatter and get ready for your dao affirmations. Three Eternals have appeared in the Human Realm.”

“Yes.”

At that, they scattered in all directions. At the same time, one aura after another rose all over the Allheaven Battlefield.

An expert coldly said, “Humans, don’t even dream of affirming your dao.”

Great Qin King merely snorted. He shot Xia Longwu a glance and said, “Where are you affirming your dao?”

Xia Longwu replied with complete calm, “I’ll go further. Since I don’t want to disturb the others, I’ll be going to the Sea of Stars.”

Great Qin King nodded and ripped space apart to create a spatial tunnel leading to the Sea of Stars. The group started moving toward the Sea of Stars rapidly. All around them, one myriad race Invincible after another appeared, paying close attention to them.

Xia Longwu wanted to affirm his dao. They were not about to let him succeed. The number of Invincibles who had appeared was actually lower than expected. This was not only due to what the Xia Family was doing. Su Yu had also played a role, causing over ten Invincibles to lose their tri-life bodies during the chaos in the ancient city.

Nevertheless, the myriad races could still muster a considerable number of Invincibles for this task. They had initially planned to interfere with even the dao affirmations of those from the minor races. But they had given up on that in order to concentrate their effort against humanity.

The minor races wouldn’t be a threat even if they could produce an Invincible or two. Humanity was the real threat here. This was a cumulation of humanity’s hard work over several hundred years.

If the myriad races could eliminate the people attempting their dao affirmations today on top of those participating in the battle at Great Xia, this would be enough of a blow to keep humanity suppressed for a few more hundred years.

***

While the human Pseudo Invincibles were starting their dao affirmations.

Nanyuan.

Three Invincibles had appeared.

The surviving eleven Pseudo Invincibles were obviously relieved. Even so, they could still feel some lingering fear from earlier. Humanity was terrifying indeed. Not only was this race strong, but it was also filled with cunning schemers.

One hidden expert was acceptable. But they had gone over the top and produced multiple hidden experts in a row. It almost felt like it was humanity’s second nature to plot and scheme.

Just how devious would they need to be to keep so many experts hidden until now?

As a coquettish giggle rang out in the ears of the dragon Pseudo Invincible, he finally couldn’t take it anymore and roared for help, “Dragon King, I beseech you to grace me with your presence!”

At that, space tore apart and a massive white dragon appeared out of it.

The dragon king said nothing and swept his tail at Lan Tian. Countless Lan Tians were smashed apart. Nobody was surprised to see the appearance of yet another Invincible anymore. Too many Invincibles had appeared today.

Since the divine, devil, and immortal Invincibles were here, it wouldn’t be too surprising to see a dragon Invincible here as well.

Initially, the dragon king had planned to wait longer and act only when the ruin fully emerged. Unfortunately for him, Lan Tian proved too much for the dragon Pseudo Invincible to handle, forcing him to make a move earlier than intended.

After pushing Lan Tian back, the dragon king scanned the battlefield and asked coldly, “Any other trump cards? This is truly surprising, humans. But this is the end for you. Don’t even dream of leaving with your lives after revealing yourself.”

The dragon king couldn’t help but feel glad that so many Invincibles had arrived. They would have suffered a terrible defeat otherwise.

Suddenly, the air warped as a golden-masked individual flickered into existence. After looking around, he issued a command, “All pavilion members, gather around me.”

The third elder was overjoyed.

Finally, the Yellow Department head had arrived. He hurriedly complained, “Lord, the eighth elder has been killed. First Profound is Nan Wujiang. I suspect that the Profound Department head…is not to be trusted as well…”

Overjoyed, the various pavilion members started moving toward the department head. Finally, their backer had arrived.

Previously, they were feeling quite confident with their Pseudo Invincibles. But as the humans had been able to produce one trump card after another, they couldn’t help but start worrying about themselves.

Even an expert like the third elder was starting to fear for his life. Nobody knew if the humans would produce yet another expert capable of contending against Invincibles. With the order of their department head, the pavilion experts did not hesitate to withdraw from the battlefield.

The head said, “The pavilion shall stay neutral for this conflict. We were only here for the Culture Tomb. There is no need for you to view us as enemies, humans. We will be withdrawing from this battle…”

The third elder and the others didn’t even object to this. Things were starting to get too dangerous for their taste. The humans were too simply terrifying.

While Su Yu was approaching the group hesitantly, the department head looked at him and said, “Profound Nine, there is no need for you to join us. Are you…even Profound Nine?”

The third elder hurriedly supplemented, “Head, he might not be Profound Nine. It is very likely that he’s a human…”

He was not saying that Profound Nine was Su Yu, but he was quite sure that Profound Nine was a human. Even if he had seen Profound Nine’s so-called real appearance before, he couldn’t be sure if what he saw was the truth anymore. In fact, he was starting to suspect the entire Profound Department.

The Yellow Department head nodded, “The Profound Department head is still completely silent about this. Those in the headquarters are probably investigating him right about now. Since something might happen internally soon, we can’t afford to lose more of our strength here.”

“You’re right, Lord.”

With the arrival of a backer, the pavilion members felt a lot more confident.

With the withdrawal of dozens of Sunmoons, the pressure on humanity dropped considerably. The dragon king frowned and asked, “Are you pulling back?”

The department head asked, “Will you agree to hand me the Culture Tomb if we remain?”

“No.”

The dragon king laughed. This wasn’t a bad thing. With the withdrawal of the pavilion, there would be far less competition over the Culture Tomb. This department head was not weak at all. He wouldn’t mind seeing such a competitor departing.

Before long, all the pavilion experts were gathered around the department head. All of them were glad to still be alive. This little mission had turned out a lot more dangerous than anticipated.

The third elder moved closer to the head and asked, “Head, we’ve suffered disastrous losses. Are we…going to withdraw now?”

He didn’t even care about the carrier treasures anymore. He only wanted to get out of this dangerous place.

The department head nodded, “Yes. Enter my Flying Celestial Pagoda. I’ll carry all of you out of the Human Realm.”

As he said that, a massive pagoda appeared in front of them.

Seeing that the head was offering to take them away, they all flew into the pagoda. Since they did not know any safe tunnel they could use to leave the Human Realm, they could only rely on the department head.

It was worth noting that the pagoda was also a heaven-grade weapon.

When all of them had entered the pagoda, the department head looked around again and said, “The pavilion does not intend to get involved in this matter. We will be taking our leave now. Profound Nine, you will stay behind while you’re under investigation. We will have someone here to pick you up at a later date.”

That was music to Su Yu’s ears. He certainly didn’t feel like going with this suspicious department head either. That thought had barely crossed his mind when the department head shrank the pagoda, turned around…

And tossed it at the dragon king.

The Sunmoons in the pagoda panicked instantly as they felt a burst of power that had abruptly ignited all the source qi in their bodies.

The third elder exclaimed in horror, “Head…”

Just what was going on?

Boom!

A thunderous explosion erupted. It almost felt like the explosion was loud enough to be heard throughout the Myriad Realms.

A rain of moons started falling from the sky.

Followed by a burst of power, shockwaves rippled out from the center of the explosion. The tri-life body of the dragon king had been blown apart. The dragon Pseudo Invincible behind him had been downright killed by the explosion.

That explosion had claimed the lives of a Pseudo Invincible, ten elders, two newly joined seventh-stage Sunmoons, and even more Sunmoons.

One could only imagine just how powerful that explosion had been. If the department head hadn’t kept the impact of the explosion under control, it might have flattened Nanyuan or even Great Xia as well.

In the midst of the raining moons, the dragon king roared as he reappeared in a new body. With boundless fury, he asked, “How dare you kill my past body! Damn you! Damn you! Who are you?”

Before he could say more, he was dragged into a different dimension by the department head. At this point, the myriad races were starting to shiver in fear. Should they flee?

At the start, they had hundreds of Sunmoons on their side, with the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion being the biggest group among them. But now, the group of pavilion experts had been wiped out.

One Pseudo Invincible, more than ten seventh-stage Sunmoons, and dozens more Sunmoons of various levels had all died in the hands of the department head.

***

At the same time.

Boundless void.

The main hall of Heavenly Hunt Pavilion headquarters shook.

A miserable voice rang out, “The four departments…have been crippled.”

They had lost a large number of their elites.

Yellow Department head!

“Is the Profound Department not going to answer for this?”

A different person sighed and said, “What is there to answer? I know nothing about First Profound. Nor am I aware of what’s going on in the Yellow Department. What am I supposed to answer for?”

The Profound Department head sighed regretfully.

Silence descended.

Nobody knew what to say.

This was a disastrous loss.

The four departments were as good as crippled. The Yellow Department head had betrayed them, and even the Profound Department head couldn’t be trusted anymore. The Heaven Department head was still in slumber. The Earth Department was the only department that was still untouched.

However, one couldn’t help but wonder if there were more problematic members in the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion.

The Yellow Department head was too ruthless.

One couldn’t help but shiver at the ruthlessness he had displayed.

He had first lured dozens of Sunmoons into a heaven-grade weapon before detonating the weapon with everyone in it. The resulting explosion had even killed a dragon Pseudo Invincible and the tri-life body of a dragon Invincible.
