Tribulation of Myriad Races

“The myriad races are aware of every single human Eternal in existence. Just who are you? A dead Eternal can’t come back to life. As for the living Eternals, I can’t think of any that might be you. Just who are you?”

Was this a secret Eternal who had affirmed his dao in a ruin? Or was this really the tri-life body of a known Eternal? Who could it be? This tri-life body was way too strong.

The dragon king was about to fully dissipate. If he did not bring his present body here as well, he would have no choice but to give up on everything in the Human Realm. He really wanted to bring his present body over, but an Invincible had died today. He did not want to be the next dead Invincible.

The department head ignored the dragon king as his damaged golden mask started repairing itself. Who was he? He decided that he wouldn’t tell the dragon king.

He would let the dragon king be tortured by curiosity forever. The dragon king’s present body was still hiding in the Dragon Realm. Traversing the River of Time to fully kill the dragon king would be the same as throwing his life away. And the department head was not interested in throwing his life away.

Sure, as a human, he wouldn’t be subjected to any suppression. It was likely that he would be able to kill the dragon king fully if he went there. But there was no way he could be able to escape after the kill. It wasn’t like killing a single dragon king would change much. It was pointless.

Finally, the dragon king dissipated into nothingness.

Someone started cursing, “That bastard should have shut his mouth and celebrated his survival. He was lucky he didn’t come with his main body.”

The speaker was none other than Marquis Xia.

After sending his opponent flying with a slash of his saber, he gasped heavily and said, “Stop! Stop! I need to rest! Hey, Yellow Department Head, do me a favor and cut this bastard down first.”

The department head ignored Marquis Xia and charged into one of the alternate dimensions in the area.

First Profound was at his limits. He was facing Divine King Tian Dang and Devil King Mohe all by himself. He wasn’t even an Invincible. He was strong, but this was still too much for him to handle. With the arrival of the department head, the two humans joined hands to seal the space around them. It was the two enemy Invincibles’ turn to receive a beating.

Elsewhere, Zhu Tiandao had obtained the absolute upper hand in his battle against the immortal king. He was very strong. Not only that, but he was also very crafty with countless tricks up his sleeve.

For example, he had a seemingly endless supply of Invincible talismans. Instead of using one talisman at a time, he would use a handful of them at a time. The immortal king was having an extremely bad time. He constantly cursed inwardly, wondering if Great Ming King had spent his time doing nothing but craft talismans for his son all these years.

But the key battle was the one Wan Tiansheng was involved in.

Fortunately, Devil King Lade was quite conservative when fighting as he was left with only a future body. As a result, Wan Tiansheng was able to focus more on the mysterious Invincible. With his powerful attacks, he was able to send the mysterious Invincible flying repeatedly.

Even when he was facing two Invincibles, Wan Tiansheng looked completely at ease. As he strode toward the mysterious Invincible, he declared, “You’re dead. That is my promise to you. Why don’t you get all your bodies here and fight me with your full strength? With only a future body, you’re not my match. I’m giving you the chance to fight at your full strength. Today, I will kill you with my own hands.”

The mysterious Invincible had not expected that Wan Tiansheng would be this strong. Not even his cooperation with Lade could defeat Wan Tiansheng.

Furious and indignant, he asked, “Wan Tiansheng, must you force me to betray humanity? I never wanted to betray humanity. As I said, my grudge with Ye Batian was personal. Have you not killed any human yourself? Why must you force me?”

“Personal?”

Wan Tiansheng said, “Explain to me. What manner of personal grudge compelled you to continue even after killing him, causing the deaths of so many multiple character cultivators over the years? What manner of personal grudge compelled you to not only kill him, but those in the multiple character faction as well?”

He was boundlessly powerful. Sword after sword, he pushed the mysterious Invincible back, leaving numerous sword wounds on the Invincible’s body that could only be healed by the River of Time.

Finally, the mysterious Invincible roared, “You asked for this! All of you! All of you have forced me repeatedly to show myself! If Liu Wenyan hadn’t inherited Ye Batian’s characters back then, none of this would have happened! How can I be sure that he won’t be able to return with his characters surviving? Eliminating everything about him is the only way to guarantee that he can’t return!”

Wan Tiansheng replied coldly, “Is that so? You sound so self-righteous, but it all comes down to your greed. Your greed over his characters, his cultivation methods, and everything he had. You wouldn’t have stolen his research data otherwise.”

That seemed to further infuriate the Invincible as he said, “A bunch of nonsense! He left no such thing behind! If he did, it wasn’t in my hands! At the time, I didn’t even dare to return to the Human Realm. How was I supposed to steal anything from him?”

Wan Tiansheng frowned, but he said nothing else. He continued attacking with his sword.

Meanwhile, Devil King Lade was only putting in minimal effort while fishing for opportunities. Because of that, the mysterious Invincible was left to face the brunt of Wan Tiansheng’s power.

Six, no, seven tri-life bodies of Invincibles had arrived today, but not even that was enough. This was beyond anyone’s expectations.

Abruptly, a loud rumble sounded as a bright moon dropped from the sky.

“Tee hee…”

“Dead! Dead!”

“Holy Sect, bringer of peace!”

Those voices caused everyone to shiver as they were reminded of Lan Tian’s madness. Up in the sky, the various Lan Tians were celebrating the fact that they had slain a Pseudo Invincible.

With this, nine out of seventeen Pseudo Invincibles had fallen.

That was more than half their number.

The remaining Pseudo Invincibles were those from the devil, five elemental, primordial giant, immortal, goldsteel lion, heavenly spirit ape, gold-winged peng, and nine-headed bird races. They were no longer fighting independently. Instead, they had grouped up. They were under massive pressure. Surrounding them were First Divine, Liu Wenyan, Marquis Xia, and Niu Baidao. None of them was uninjured. The others had moved on to assist the other humans.

As for Lan Tian, he had a carrier treasure in his hand, courtesy of the Pseudo Invincible he killed. With the carrier treasure, he giggled and asked, “I’m going to affirm my dao now. Is everyone interested in spectating? My dao affirmation will be very interesting. How boring is it to fuse with your past and future all the time? Let me demonstrate my fusion of ten thousand races!”

“Madman.” Marquis Xia scolded, “Stop being stupid. Just affirm your dao like a normal person. This will kill you.”

Regardless of how crazy Lan Tian was, this madman was also one of their helpers today. Thus, he felt obligated to offer his advice. That madman should stop this madness. He might really get himself killed from his madness. Instead of affirming his dao, wouldn’t it be better for him to kill the rest of the surviving Pseudo Invincibles?

Meanwhile, the myriad races welcomed this immensely. Lan Tian was mad. They were sure his dao was unfeasible. Attempting to affirm such a problematic dao could be fatal. This was good news for them.

Ignoring everyone else, Lan Tian continued giggling while speaking to himself, “What shall be my first dao? The dao of immortals? The dao of divines? Devils? Since I’m affirming ten thousand daos, I will require ten thousand carrier treasures. One for each dao…Teehee…”

Nobody would argue that he wasn’t mad. He was truly mad. According to him, his dao affirmation required ten thousand carrier treasures. Were there even that many carrier treasures in existence?

Even after killing all the Invincibles and Pseudo Invincibles in existence, he still wouldn’t be able to gather so many carrier treasures.

And there was no promise that he would get one per kill. Some carrier treasures would end up destroyed during the combat.

For example, Wan Tiansheng had obtained nothing after killing the Nether River King. The drop of water used as the carrier treasure of the deceased king had been destroyed during his death.

***

While the intense battle raged in Nanyuan.

Allheaven Battlefield.

A decent number of Invincibles had been kept occupied. Six had entered the human Realm, and more were supporting their juniors against Su Yu. The Invincibles who had lost their tri-life bodies to the stone statues not long ago were also in hiding.

All in all, about thirty Invincibles had been taken out of the equation. That was a terrifying number since it concerned Invincibles.

All over the Allheaven Battlefield, one River of Time after another appeared. These were the rivers summoned by the human and non-human Pseudo Invincibles in preparation for their dao affirmations.

Great Qin King’s group had just arrived at the Sea of Stars.

Great Qin King, Great Xia King, Silk Destroying King, Heavenly Seal King, and Heavenly Forge King were personally serving as Xia Longwu’s dao protectors. As the group of six arrived, auras of Invincibles appeared from all directions.

“Great Qin King, just give up.”

“Luck will decide if the others can succeed, but Xia Longwu must die.”

“Everyone can be spared except Xia Longwu.”

“If someone so murderous is allowed to affirm his dao, chaos will befall the Myriad Realms. Great Qin King, must you force the myriad races to turn against humanity?”

“Xia Longwu can’t be pardoned after all the lives he took.”

In the blink of an eye, fifteen Invincibles appeared around them.

Neither Great Qin King nor Great Xia King was an ordinary Invincible. Thus, the myriad races were forced to dedicate a large number of Invincibles to this task.

Suddenly, one of them said, “Heavenly Forge King, get over here. Your future body is dying. Your identity will be exposed soon. Hurry. Come to us.”

“…”

Heavenly Forge King rolled his eyes, “You’re speaking nonsense.”

He looked around and noted their indifference to those words. Nevertheless, he still explained, “Don’t take those words seriously. It’s not me.”

With a helpless expression, he split into three and continued, “These bastards are trying to frame me.”

“Great Xia King, stop pretending. This whole thing is a farce. You were the one who had killed Ye Batian and Xia Chen out of jealousy for their talent.”

“…”

Great Xia King didn’t even deign to give a reply.

Great Qin King said, “What is the point of this? Two Invincibles have fallen. Do you really want to increase that number?”

“Great Qin King, I don’t deny that you’re very strong. But are three Eternals enough to deal with you? If not, what about four?”

“Hehe. Heavenly Forge and Silk Destroying can be handled with only one Eternal each. The rest of us will be free to focus on the two of you, Great Qin King and Great Xia King. How do you like our preparation?”
