Tribulation of Myriad Races

At the same time.

Numerous Invincibles were frowning.

More deaths.

It hadn’t even been long since the mansion opened yet a large number of people had died.

Someone asked, “Did something unexpected happen in the first level? The newest wave of deaths only involved Skysoars. They were probably on the first level. And they were probably together. All of them had been killed at once. Is this related to what happened to the immortals earlier?”

“The deaths of those immortals were very suspicious as well. All of them had died at the same time. Something feels wrong. Did something go wrong with the transference? Or was it something else?”

“It hasn’t even been long yet nearly a hundred people have died.”

That was too quick.

It was too abnormal. Generally, the deaths in the mansion wouldn’t happen so soon after opening. The people inside would only encounter people of similar strength. Unless a massive battle involving hundreds of people were to happen, it was rare for so many people to die at once.

“Did all those people somehow enter a danger zone together?”

“That’s possible.”

“Did something change in the first level?”

As the Invincibles discussed among themselves, some started looking at the human encampment while frowning. Very few of the deaths involved humans. Up until now, only three of the human tunnels had snapped.

That signified that they had only lost three people so far. As a major race, they had a lot of people in the mansion as well. However, they had lost only three. Meanwhile, the immortals had lost twenty. The losses of the divines and devils were lower, but the number was still quite significant.

In the human encampment, both Great Zhou King and Great Xia King looked confused as well.

Wow. The human race was quite lucky this time. Generally, the human race would lose more than the divines and devils. This time, it was the other way around.

Great Xia King asked, “Did something unforeseen happen in the first level? Is this related to that Yellow Nine? All those immortals are dead. In the entire row, Yellow Nine is the sole survivor. Did she enter the first level? Is she a human?”

“I think so.”

Great Zhou King said, “Not only is she a human, she might even be related to Liu Family. But I’m still unsure about that.”

Great Xia King frowned, “Are you referring to what Zhu Tianfang said?”

“Yeah.” Great Zhou King asked, “What do you think?”

“Me?” Great Xia King frowned and said, “If Liu Jiazhen is really back, and if she’s really willing to marry into the Xia Family, I won’t mind it. But she grew up with Hollow. I’m worried about her loyalty. If she only wants compensation, the Xia Family is willing to compensate.”

Great Zhou King smiled and said nothing else. That would be a matter for the Liu Family to settle. Of course, without knowing her identity for sure, nobody would notify the Liu Family. It would be awkward if they informed Liu Wenyan only for her to end up unrelated to him.

Great Zhou King and Great Xia King were in a decent mood. The human race had only suffered a small loss. This was a good thing. Meanwhile, the divine, devil, and immortal races had lost a lot more even though they had also sent a lot more people inside. They could only blame their luck for that.

Suddenly, yet another series of tunnels collapsed. The expressions of the Invincibles turned unsightly. The same thing was happening again. This was no battle. This was a slaughter.

An Invincible asked coldly, “Is something wrong with the first level? Did an expert enter?”

That was the only explanation.

“A human expert?”

“Yellow Nine?” “Is Yellow Nine a human? That’s possible. Is it her? But a third-stage Sunmoon has died as well. Is she strong enough to kill even a third-stage Sunmoon?”

“This is getting troublesome. A lot of geniuses are on the first level.”

Some of them were starting to worry. Yes, the first level was massive. But someone capable of killing Sunmoons would still pose a big threat to the others.

In the Luminous Domain Mansion, one could ascend the levels but not the other way around. Most of the people who had entered the first level were the young geniuses of the various races.

Even people like Mo Duona would only be focused on reaching the second level instead of staying around and slaughtering everyone. This was not something a real genius would waste time doing.

But if the genius in question was a human…things would change. Since the myriad races were targeting the humans, they would naturally fight back.

“Are Mo Duona and the others on the first level?”

“It might really be a human expert…”

Everyone started focusing on the human tunnels. Their tunnels remained the same. Clearly, the humans had been excluded from the recent slaughter. Numerous faces turned unsightly.

Damn it!

Just what was happening here?

Unfortunately, not even the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion could send any messages in and out of the Luminous Domain Mansion. They could only watch and worry without doing anything. Sure, only the weaker cultivators had died so far. However, anyone picked to enter the mansion would be someone with the potential to grow into an expert in the future.

Someone looked at the Heavenly Hunt Index and grimaced. About seventeen or eighteen names had left the index. This was a big loss. Any index genius had the potential to reach the Sunmoon Realm if not the Invincible Realm.

And now, they had died before reaching their potential. The rankings on the index had not changed much. As the index’s influence could not penetrate the mansion, the battles between the index geniuses in the mansion would not alter the rankings.

The sole exception was the deaths of these index geniuses while they were in the mansion. That would be reflected on the index as the captured auras of these people would fade automatically upon their deaths.

“Who? Who did this?”

The Invincibles were furious. As for Dao King, he was so furious that he had stopped making any sound. He had lost yet another person.

Very good.

So far, he had lost five people. That left him with eight.

He only needed to pretend he hadn’t bought the additional slots from Su Yu to feel better. However, so many had died in less than three hours. Was there any hope for his remaining people to get him any carrier treasure from the mansion?

Was this a joke?

“Su Yu!”

Dao King snorted coldly. That confused the surrounding Invincibles. Why was Dao King calling that name suddenly?

Far away, Liu Hong laughed and said, “Wow. So many died. What a pity. Dao King, stop calling my name. It wasn’t me. It’s pointless to call out at me.”

Dao King snorted and glanced at Liu Hong with a frown. His intuition was telling him that his bad luck was definitely related to that bastard. Sure, that bastard was clearly still out here. But something felt wrong.

The unexpected deaths might really be related to that bastard. Even he himself found his suspicion ridiculous, but he just couldn’t shake it off.

This felt terrible. He decided to trust his instinct. In any case, that bastard was the reason he lost his tri-life bodies. That was why he had been forced to buy additional slots. If he hadn’t bought those slots, he wouldn’t have suffered such disastrous losses.

Everything was Su Yu’s fault!

***

Inside the Luminous Domain Mansion.

Su Yu’s book looked even more saintly than before.

Looking at the saintly radiance the book was emitting, Yellow Nine grimaced as he said, “Did this…demonic weapon transform into a saintly weapon through killing?”

What was this?

Su Yu had killed so many people instantly. For some reason, that demonic weapon of his started emanating an even more saintly light after the mass murder. What in the world was this?

Su Yu ignored her and burned his book with the fire of inheritance, removing the bloody aura on it. Then, he smiled and said, “What do you know? I’m setting them free. In their next life, they will be able to learn more. I am improving their intelligence. Since they clearly lacked intelligence, I had no choice but to take on the task of freeing them from their ignorance.”

On his book, 108 golden stripes could be clearly seen. The indistinct 109th golden stripe was slowly turning solid as well. The moment it turned fully solid, the Mark of Civilization would become a proper heaven weapon.

Yellow Nine felt slightly envious at the sight of the powerful weapon. She asked, “Are we tempering our right eyes next? By the way, can you forge a book for me as well?”

Wow. What a dreamer.

Su Yu was surprised by the sheer audacity of that request.

Yellow Nine laughed and said, “Don’t look at me like that. I can pay for it. I can’t afford a heaven weapon, but I can get the money from my elder.”

“Heh.”

Su Yu sneered. The money for a heaven weapon? What a beautiful dream.

He couldn’t even be bothered to say anything. After moving to the next spot, he dug his other eyeball out and tossed it into the spring. After this, his eyes would be capable of combat. He had a feeling his eyes alone would be strong enough to fight Cloudbreaches.

Wouldn’t that be impressive? After milking the entire first level dry, perhaps he could fight Mountainseas with his head alone. Sure enough, the mansion was a good place. As for the other treasures in the mansion, they were no longer capable of catching his eye.
