Tribulation of Myriad Races

Boom!

An explosion erupted beside Su Yu. The humanoid fish had been blasted apart with a single palm strike.

With a roar, Langtu transformed into a massive wolf with one normal head and one illusory head. “You will need to pay a price for attacking us!”

Su Yu did not hesitate to transform into a bird and joined his temporary companions in attacking the nearby giant. The giant merely stared at them coldly. After giving them a sneer, he ignored them and left.

It didn’t matter to him to kill a random nobody in his way, but he also saw no reason to waste more time on them. He could see that the wolf leading the group was a somewhat capable combatant. He could even see that there were traces of three-headed demon wolf bloodline in that wolf. He simply did not have the time to bicker with such a person during a moment like this.

Langtu was relieved to see the giant leaving. However, he remained tense. In the one-kilometer radius around the entrances, numerous corpses were dropping from the sky. One kilometer. This distance was nothing for experts. Yet this had been an incredibly difficult distance to cross for many.

One had to constantly be wary of sudden attacks as people were everywhere. The seawater below them was already dyed red with blood. Meanwhile, the token holders here stood in front of their entrances and watched on with contempt and amusement.

They had received their slots without much effort. This was the benefit of having a strong background. Apart from having a strong race behind them, they were also strong individually. Thus, these slots had come rather easily for them.

Meanwhile, those with less fortunate backgrounds were forced to risk their lives for mere 360 slots. Even the winners of this competition, the final 360 to enter through the special entrance, would most likely die off in the mansion. Perhaps only a few of them would have the chance to leave the mansion alive.

And out of the few survivors, perhaps not even one would leave with anything valuable. Even so, there was no end of people trying to enter through the special entrance. Such was their desperation to alter their fate.

Without the Luminous Domain Mansion, they would most likely remain the lowly existences that they were for life. It didn’t matter how low the chances were for any of them to grow into an expert from this gamble. Nobody knew if they would be the ones to get lucky this time.

However small the possibility was, there would only be such a possibility if they tried.

With a claw attack, Su Yu tore a Cloudbreach apart.

Beside him, Langtu sent a giant beast flying with a sweep of his tail and praised, “Not bad!”

A smile formed on Su Yu’s bird face. Abruptly, he flapped his wings and vanished, just in time to evade a spear attack. Then, someone laughed and said, “Good speed. If this were any other time, I would definitely spend some time with you.”

However, that person was in a rush. Thus, he shot off and vanished into the black hole after saying that. Corpses were still raining from the sky.

Langtu exhaled in relief and said, “Gather up! Rush the entrance or the slots will be full soon!”

At that, more than ten people gathered around him. Yes. They had lost more than twenty people after traveling less than one kilometer. Two-thirds of them were gone. Some of the other groups were worse off, suffering complete annihilation.

Thankfully, Langtu’s three-headed demon wolf bloodline had deterred some experts from targeting them. Most people would prefer to kill such individuals inside the mansion instead of outside. That was how Su Yu’s group had survived with more than ten members.

When Langtu looked around, he noted that almost all the Skysoars had died. The survivors were mostly Cloudbreaches. He wasted no time and led everyone to the entrance.

At the same time.

The white-haired divine king was still busy scanning the area. The eye he carried was focused on the special entrance. After a while, a voice rang out in his ears, “He’s probably not with them.”

Above Grandstar City, Liu Hong was casually lounging on his floating throne while sipping tea. He watched as everything unfolded with a smile on his face, as though he was enjoying a great show.

The white-haired divine king said nothing. In this case, Su Yu was most likely staying outside for real. This was truly surprising. Then again, this choice was understandable since so many eyes were on him.

In the human encampment.

After glancing at Liu Hong, Great Xia King frowned and said, “He’s not going.”

Hearing that, Great Zhou King looked over and said, “This isn’t a bad thing. He won’t have an easy time in there.”

Great Xia King said, “An opportunity like this will only appear once every ten years. This…might be a big loss for him. If he really wishes to enter, the ancient cities are powerful enough to send him to the entrance. He only needs to be careful inside and he might survive.”

Great Xia King felt greatly regretful that Su Yu was missing out on such a great opportunity. This was the biggest opportunity one could ask for in the Myriad Realms. As a young genius, Su Yu was blessed by luck. Someone like him might be able to reap a great harvest after entering.

In Great Xia King’s opinion, risk and opportunity came hand-in-hand. It was normal for a young genius to take risks. In fact, it would be abnormal for a young genius to be risk-averse. Thus, he couldn’t stop feeling regretful.

Mo Duona and the others were also super geniuses who would be targeted by the other races after entering. Even so, they had all chosen to enter. They all knew that missing out on this opportunity could cause them to start lagging behind their peers.

Great Zhou King smiled and said nothing. After a while, he asked, “Is Longwu here?”

Great Xia King replied, “Why should he come? It’s not like I can reach the Daofuse Realm.”

“It’s not hopeless. You can still try.” Great Zhou King asked, “You’re near the ninth degree, right?”

“No. I’m far from that.” Great Xia King asked, “Who did you send?”

“Polong.”

Great Zhou King did not try to hide anything. Zhou Polong would be entering.

“Not Zhou Tianyuan?”

Great Xia King was surprised to hear that. Zhou Tianyuan was very strong. His mastery over timespace would grant him a great advantage when fighting for the nine-leaf skylotus. He had not expected Great Zhou King to send Zhou Polong instead.

Zhou Polong was Zhou Tianyuan’s son. Even if he could get the skylotus, there was no guarantee that he would hand it over to Great Zhou King. Furthermore, he was still a fresh Invincible. His chances of winning that contest would be lower in comparison.

Great Zhou King said, “Tianyuan is strong. That is why he can’t enter. We can’t risk him getting encircled and killed in there. Polong has a more flexible mind. He can adapt more easily to different circumstances.”

He looked at the nearby Qin Zhen and switched to voice transmission, “Why did Old Qin send Qin Zhen? Sure, this guy is good at fighting. However, his combat strength is quite ordinary and he’s very rash. This will be very dangerous for him.”

Great Xia King nodded in agreement, “He insisted. Old Qin said no, but he was too stubborn. If he really managed to get the skylotus, it wouldn’t be a bad thing. Old Qin is not too far from Daofuse…”

The closest human to Daofuse was Great Qin King.

Since he couldn’t go personally, his son, Qin Zhen, wished to fight for this chance. This was understandable. In fact, Qin Hao and Qin Fang would be going as well. One could say that the Qin Family was risking multiple generations of their young for this chance. They were determined to get the nine-leaf skylotus.

As long as they could get Great Qin King the nine-leaf skylotus, all losses were acceptable. Great Qin King had received twenty slots, but they were sending more than that. A large number of Great Qin experts were also trying to enter through the special entrance. In fact, some of the people from Great Zhou and Great Xia were also attempting to use the special entrance.

The various major races were busy talking among themselves.

Meanwhile, those from the minor races were continuing to fight and die, dying the sea red with blood. Su Yu continued advancing with Langtu. By the time they reached the black hole, only five were left. The casualties were heavy.

During the charge, Su Yu had only demonstrated an average level of strength, focusing on his speed. Whenever he flapped his wings, he would move as fast as Langtu. He had also sustained some injuries, but they weren’t too heavy.

Speed was a good tool for life preservation. That was made clear by the fact that many of the survivors were those with respectable speed, such as the blacktail sable. With his speed and dexterity, he had survived until the end even after nearly losing his tail.

Yet this was merely the start. The real start.

After such a tough fight, they had merely reached the entrance. Below them, countless corpses could be seen.

Ignoring the many injuries on his body, Langtu said, “Go!”

Finally, they were at the entrance.

Just as they stepped into the entrance, Su Yu flapped his wings and vanished. A sword ray swept through and cut a nearby leopard into pieces. Only then did Su Yu get the chance to look around.

The entrance led to an incomparably massive tunnel. At the end of the tunnel, 360 flickering doors could be seen. Battles were unfolding everywhere. Every now and then, one of the doors would appear randomly before someone, triggering yet another battle.

Su Yu knew a little about this place. Each of these doors would unlock momentarily, allowing a group of people entry. Inside, they would kill each other. The survivor would have the chance to defend the door. When all 360 of these doors were conquered, all the entrances would activate.

Here, one could use an ancient city medallion to lure a door over. Those with sufficient strength could do so and easily conquer a door. Very few people would have the courage to challenge such a person. Of course, not even strength would guarantee one success in here. At times, these doors would also randomly pull some people into them.

Most of the time, those with similar strength would end up in the same door. The winner would receive a slot to enter the mansion. As for the losers…most would die. Only a small number of them would survive.

Suddenly, Langtu shouted at Su Yu, “Yifei, don’t run around! Stick together!”

When Su Yu looked over, he noted that apart from him and Langtu, the blacktail sable was the only survivor of their group. Initially, there were over thirty of them. Almost all of them had perished before seeing these doors.

If Su Yu hadn’t stolen Yifei’s identity, Langtu and the blacktail sable would have been the only survivors of the group. He slowed down, allowing Langtu to catch up.

While gasping for breath, Langtu said, “Be careful. Don’t join these battles. Wait for a bit for all the experts to enter the doors and look for a chance to snatch one for ourselves…”

Noting the silence of the other two, Langtu added, “I know both of you want to enter as well. However, these slots aren’t easy to get. How about this? We help each other and try to get as many slots as we can!”

After thinking about it, both Su Yu and the blacktail sable nodded. Langtu said nothing else and led the two as they started avoiding the numerous battles in the tunnel.

Just then, someone lured a door over with an ancient city medallion before entering. Clearly, this was someone confident in his strength. Before long, some other experts similarly confident in their strength stepped into the door.

Before long, the door vanished. A short while later, the door reappeared. No sound could be heard inside, but nobody could be seen leaving either. Those who had entered were probably dead. Or perhaps there was a survivor inside. One could never know.

***

Su Yu had been observing in silence.

He was Yifei. He wasn’t an expert. Trying to conquer a door so early would be suicide for Yifei. Someone like Yifei would have to wait for a suitable time before making an attempt.

As for Langtu and the blacktail sable, they would have to rely on their luck. Su Yu did not intend to lend them any help.

Suddenly, a door appeared and pulled them inside.
