Tribulation of Myriad Races

Tiangu had a cold expression. The furballs were only here to enjoy the smell for a bit. Since Tiangu was still hiding inside the Immortal Realm, they wouldn’t be able to eat him. They wouldn’t foolishly enter the Immortal Realm. In there, Tiangu could probably kill seven or eight Pseudo Emperors alone.

With a flicker, the big furball and the others vanished. The smell was too good yet they couldn’t eat anything. Thus, they decided to leave in annoyance. At that point, the blood tribulation had fully ended.

The immortals were in a mess. They had gained nothing from the battle yet they had paid the cost of seven tri-life bodies. Additionally, Tiangu had suffered some injuries and attracted a bunch of ferocious beasts. It was a complete loss. Su Yu was still Su Yu.

Liu Hong had an indifferent smile on his face. Grandstar, Empyrean Cloud, and Rainbow Rain all returned to their cities. Inside the mayor’s residence, Old Man Bai was having a bad time. His yang acupoint was absorbing death qi as fast as it could yet the death qi was still growing faster than it could be absorbed.

After retrieving their assembly tokens, the Pseudo Emperors left one after another. Pseudo Emperors would rarely make an appearance unless it was absolutely necessary. Some of them were already so old that they needed to sleep more to preserve their life force. In any case, they didn’t enjoy leaving their realms as they were too wary of potential traps outside their realms.

In fact, not one of these Pseudo Emperors was someone who would frequently move around beyond their realms. That was also the case for the big furball and female furball. Previously, they had the habit of randomly wandering around. But after catching everyone’s attention, they had been staying in their realm as well.

After all, a Pseudo Emperor was simply too tempting a target. A lot of benefits could be gained from killing one. Pseudo Emperors were not unkillable. For example, seven or eight of the more powerful Invincibles would be able to kill a Pseudo Emperor together. Pseudo Emperors weren’t strong enough to suppress everyone or the Myriad Realms would have been reunified long ago.

“A bunch of cowards.”

Heavendom cursed. Was this it? Why wasn’t anyone attacking him? Why were they scared? Damn it! He really wanted to fight a good battle. He had been craving for one.

What a pity. They had to continue obeying the laws. They were members of the ancient assembly, but they were not legislators. Thus, they were still subject to the laws of the assembly. Otherwise, some of them wouldn’t have lasted this long as guardians.

The various Invincibles in the sky also retreated to their respective encampments. The short battle ended without any proper Invincible deaths, but Dao King was unfortunate enough to lose two tri-life bodies. He had an unsightly expression as he sank into thought, considering a way to prevent a major battle from further erupting.

That would be too dangerous for him now since he was left with only one body.

***

Far away, Su Yu exhaled in relief.

Calm had returned.

He was quite pleased to see the immortals suffering this time. Five of their Invincibles had lost their tri-life bodies. This race was gaining more and more singles. The divines weren’t any better off. The white-haired bastard had received beating as well. Good!

Served them right! That would show them!

Su Yu was quite satisfied with Liu Hong’s performance. That fellow was brazen indeed. Facing so many experts, he still had the courage to speak up to them. Meanwhile, the minor race experts around Su Yu had nearly pissed themselves from fear even when they were so far away from the major race experts.

Naturally, Su Yu was also trembling in fear. As a weakling from the iron-winged bird race, he naturally needed to react accordingly. The feathers on his head had nearly fallen off from how terrified he was. Additionally, all the feathers on his back were standing upright.

Terrifying.

Scary.

As a minor race weakling, he would be a super idiot to not feel any fear in such a situation.

The terrified Su Yu started rubbing the feathers on his head. Everyone around him had the same reaction so nobody laughed at anyone. A bunch of ancient experts had appeared out of nowhere. Even Invincibles had lost their tri-life bodies. Wasn’t that a terrifying scene?

Thus, even when some people sank into the bottom of the sea from fear, nobody laughed at them. This was a great showcase of who the true experts were.

Beside Su Yu, the blacktail sable was so scared he could no longer remain humanoid. Instead, he was trembling in his tiny sable form. Even as he spoke, his voice was shivering, “T-this is too scary! Things weren’t like this in the past! They wouldn’t fight before entering the mansion. I’m starting to worry. Several powerful Sunmoons were plucked from the ground and eaten like they were appetizers earlier.”

No Invincibles had died from the short battle, but some Sunmoons had died. The iron devourer had eaten one from the immortal race. The hou and golden peng had also sneakily caught some to eat. Some were even brazen enough to grab some immortals and crunch on them right in front of Dao King. And Dao King didn’t even dare to say anything about that.

Why? Because he was scared of death. He was afraid that he would be killed if he spoke. With only one body left, his death would be permanent.

Sunmoons had died like bugs. In the eyes of these minor race members, each of those Sunmoons was an incredibly powerful entity. In the past, very few of them would die in battle. As of late, they had been dying like it was nothing. For these Skysoars and Cloudbreaches, Sunmoons might as well be gods.

While stroking his feathers, Su Yu said, “How terrifying. Will this happen again? The next time it happens, will I be able to survive? I have decided! I must enter! I want to become an expert as well! Mountainsea? Sunmoon? Anything is better than staying a Cloudbreach.”

Many people nodded in agreement.

The long-tailed wolf said, “Yifei is right. The turmoil of Myriad Realms is arriving. The last time such a turmoil arrived, it was hundreds of tides ago. According to the records of my race, during that war, Invincibles fell from the sky like rain. I believe…the next turmoil is arriving. Each rise of humanity would be followed by turmoil.”

“What?”

Some stared at the wolf in confusion. After looking around, the wolf explained through voice transmission, “You’re too young. You don’t know this. The Myriad Realms have been thrown into turmoil more than once. According to the records of my race, a turmoil will arise every few hundred tides.”

“It has been over ten thousand tides since the ancient past. According to the records of my race, the previous turmoil was the ninth turmoil. The tenth turmoil will probably arrive soon.”

The Allheaven Battlefield would reopen every few thousand years. Each time it opened, war would erupt after about a thousand years.

At times, the war would last only decades. At times, the war could last hundreds or even a thousand years. Nine such wars had erupted thus far. The battle over four hundred years ago did not count.

That was merely an attack on the human race. It wasn’t a true myriad realm war. A true myriad realm war was one that wouldn’t stop unless one party was fully defeated or all parties were too damaged to continue. Otherwise, the war would persist until the closure of the Allheaven Battlefield.

The Allheaven Battlefield had been open for about a thousand years. Humanity had merely been late for about a few hundred years. This indicated that a new myriad realm war was not far away.

Su Yu’s interest was piqued by what he heard. This wolf seemed to know a lot. Not even the human race was aware of this. For a long time, Su Yu had believed that the Human Realm had never been connected to the Allheaven Battlefield before. Eventually, he learned the truth from the old turtle.

Curious, he looked at the wolf with a look of envy and said, “Brother Langtu, are you from the darknight demon wolf race?”

The darknight demon wolf race was a moderately sized race. It did not have any Invincible, but it had a decent number of Sunmoons. Had this race experienced all those wars?

Langtu looked at Su Yu with a cold gaze. He wasn’t hostile. That was simply how he looked. He said, “Darknight demon wolf? You can say so. But I have traces of three-headed demon wolf bloodline in me.”

That instantly triggered a deep sense of veneration from the surrounding minor race experts. This was a big shot! As its name implied, the three-headed demon wolf race was a race of wolves with three heads. It was an ancient race, ranked twenty-five among the myriad races.

A race with such a rank wouldn’t be weak. In truth, some ancient races weren’t even ranked because they didn’t care enough about the outside world.

Impressive.

This wolf was merely a mixbreed, but traces of the bloodline would be enough to give him a higher ceiling in cultivation. For example, the three-headed demon wolf was a race capable of producing Pseudo Emperors. Meanwhile, the darknight demon wolf would not be able to produce existences beyond the Pseudo Invincible Realm. The gap between the two was big.

“Lord Langtu, so you have the bloodline of the three-headed demon wolf? How noble…”

Some minor race experts started fawning on him. That was mainly beause Langtu was no weakling either. He was a ninth-stage Cloudbreach. Not everyone believed his talk about his bloodline, but either way, it wouldn’t hurt to fawn on someone strong.

Su Yu did not doubt the wolf. He could sense that the wolf was slightly stronger than regular ninth-stage Cloudbreaches. Furthermore, the wolf knew quite a lot about the previous eras. Thus, it was likely that the wolf had even been acknowledged by his relatives in the three-headed demon wolf race.

Langtu did not seem to care for these flatteries. After looking around, his gaze landed on the distant ancient cities as he sighed, “It’s only a tiny bit of bloodline. Compared to these major races and geniuses, we are nothing.”

“Yifei is right. If we don’t strive hard and grow strong, we won’t live long. Like the countless minor races that had existed in the past, we would vanish like we had never existed. Hundreds or thousands of tides later, a different race would rise again in our former realm, replacing us as one of the myriad races. Some fodder races today might be overlord races during the next turmoil. You never know.”

Seeing that the wolf was quite knowledgeable, Su Yu deliberately argued, “That’s too extreme. Things won’t change that much…”

Langtu shook his head, “You don’t understand. Take the fire hog race as an example. It is also the ruler of a realm. But according to the records, the Fire Hog Realm was not known as the Fire Hog Realm. Rather, it was known as the Six-armed Ape Realm. But the six-armed apes had ceased existing, replaced by the fire hogs. Before the previous turmoil, the fire hogs were merely livestock for the six-armed apes.”

Yes, the fire hogs were weak. But they were still the rulers of a realm.

They too, had Sunmoons in their race, even if the number was small.

In the past, they were merely livestock. Yet such a race had risen enough to be counted among the myriad races. The myriad races did not refer to every single race in existence. Only races beyond a certain level of strength would be counted among them.

Su Yu said in realization, “So the Fire Hog Realm used to have a different name? Brother Langtu, you sure know a lot!”

Langtu shook his head, not feeling like saying more than that.

The darknight demon wolf he belonged to was not a top hundred race. The moment the turmoil began, the entire Myriad Realms would be engulfed in chaos and destruction. Perhaps…they would no longer exist by the time the next turmoil arrived.

Some of their livestock today might be the ones to conquer the Darknight Demon Wolf Realm in their stead.
