Tribulation of Myriad Races

Words started spreading.

Soon, even those on the other peak and those in the canyon heard about the death spirits as well. A suffocating atmosphere enveloped everyone.

An Invincible.

The strongest experts on the fourth level were merely some Sunmoons who had yet to even reach the middle stage. With such strength, even a high-stage Sunmoon was enough to slaughter them all.

The fourth level was truly a great place for cultivation. Many had achieved breakthroughs after cultivating for only three days here. Unless absolutely necessary, nobody wanted to leave.

Alas, Invincible death spirits were climbing the levels as well. If they remained, they might die.

Staying was definitely out of the question. But how should they leave? Who should they leave with? Should they leave alone? These were the questions the various races had to consider.

It would be safer for them to leave together. But the hatred between them was too big for them to accept working together. However, the entrance to the fifth level wasn’t a safe place. Some of the weaker cultivators wouldn’t even survive the transference without the protection of someone stronger.

Just then, Su Yu reached one of the two mountains. He was strolling leisurely while cultivating his breathing technique. In truth, he hadn’t been using the breathing technique much nowadays. But when he tested it on this level, it was surprisingly effective.

“The spine acupoint is probably in one of the middle levels. I need to look for this acupoint and find out how it works…”

According to Su Yu’s judgment, the mountain he was on was most likely a lung.

“The spine acupoint shouldn’t be too far from here. Is the heart here as well? If not here, it will probably be on the fifth level. And in that case, the spine acupoint might also be on the fifth level.”

That was Su Yu’s conclusion after comparing the terrain with the anatomy of the human body. He needed to figure out the operational method of two more acupoints: the spine acupoint and the Heaven Connecting Acupoint.

The location of the Heaven Connecting Acupoint was rather awkward. It was most likely on the seventh level. The spine acupoint could be here or the next level.

Unfortunately, he would need to call Tai Shan’s name upon encountering the acupoint. But doing so would allow those outside to contact those inside. That was not what he wanted to see.

“When I shout, the tremors will be the strongest on the same level. In that case, the message from the outside world will most likely reach only those on this level instead of those on the higher levels…”

Su Yu started thinking while cultivating the breathing method. Before long, he reached the waist of the mountain. After spreading his senses around, he grinned. The divines and devils made up the majority of the cultivators on this mountain.

There were so many of them here. It was likely that almost all the people below the Sunmoon Realm were here, excluding the geniuses who had left for the higher levels and those who had perished on the lower levels.

In fact, there were even some ancient race members here. Some of them were members of races Su Yu had never encountered before. He hadn’t even forged the pages for these races. Perhaps he would need to add even more pages to his book. The existing 301 pages might not be enough to store his harvest on this level.

“There are about seven to eight hundred of them. They won’t be so easy to kill anymore.”

Even Su Yu wouldn’t dare to lightly challenge such a group. Any carelessness might allow them to make use of their trump cards like heaven weapons and Invincible blood essence. That would not be good.

With how peaceful things were on the fourth level, it wouldn’t even be easy for him to find a chance to assassinate them separately.

While deep in thought, Su Yu concealed himself and approached a random person nearby. When he was a few hundred meters away, he stopped. His mood instantly improved upon hearing them talking about He Tu.

Someone nearby said, “Previously, the index copies shook repeatedly. Did anyone feel that? Are the people outside trying to contact us?”

“We need to inform them about He Tu’s arrival. We need the Invincibles from the upper levels to do something about this. It’s far too dangerous for us to climb the levels. It would be much better if a few Invincibles could come down and deal with He Tu instead.”

Sure enough, they had noticed the reaction of the index copies earlier. However, Su Yu doubted that those from the upper levels could come down so easily or someone would have done so by now. Someone even started suggesting an alliance with those on the other mountain to enter the next level together.

“I guess I have to face them head-on if I want to kill them.”

Su Yu decided to disguise himself as a death spirit before attacking them head-on. He doubted that they would stay and fight upon seeing a death spirit. It was more likely that they would all turn tail and flee.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to let them spread this news to those on the fifth and sixth levels. After learning about the arrival of death spirits, everyone would be too occupied to look for Su Yu. He could even borrow their mouths to send more messages to the outside world, further validating the fact that He Tu was indeed the culprit.

Naturally, Su Yu only needed to keep his involvement hidden while he was still in the mansion. It would stop mattering when he was out of the mansion. Back in his ancient city, he would have nothing to fear.

Su Yu reached a decision.

He would fight them head-on and kill as many of them as he could. It wouldn’t hurt him to scare everyone off the fourth level. It was pointless to think too much about this. He had to act before someone started doubting the fact that He Tu was in the mansion.

He looked around and noticed many familiar faces. Those he could recognize would either be experts or cultural researchers. Very good. He was in need of cultural researchers for their blood essence. These people would be his priority target.

Su Yu stopped hesitating and sent his book into the void. Then, he reversed his acupoints and shrouded himself in death qi.

Instantly, several Sunmoons sensed something. Some looked up doubtfully while some frowned. Abruptly, one of them shouted, “Leave!”

They had to leave now. The crisis seemed to have arrived. They were out of time. f r\eeNovelFire.c(o)(m)

Right at that moment, a massive book appeared in the sky. He Tu’s name could be seen on the cover of the book. The two characters were quite faint. Only the top experts could see them. And upon seeing the two characters, they all paled.

“Leave! Now!”

The Sunmoons started fleeing after grabbing the people under their charge. He Tu had arrived! Or perhaps this was merely the messenger of He Tu.

“Join the death spirits, gain eternity.” Shrouded in death qi, Su Yu stepped out of the void and declared, “Only death is eternal.”

Boom!

The book descended and consumed dozens of experts. The others started fleeing. They felt nothing except fear. Nobody dared to consider resisting. After all, that was an Invincible death spirit. This was not something they could handle. Even if this death spirit wasn’t an Invincible, his appearance was still a signal that He Tu was arriving soon.

“Heed Lord He Tu, join the kingdom of death, gain eternity…”

Su Yu continued mumbling as he walked on thin air while spreading death qi everywhere. Anyone his death qi touched, he would stun with his hammer stealthily before swallowing them with his book.

The sight of that merely served to further increase the panic of the others.

Too strong! Correct content is on NovelFire

After all, even peak Mountainseas had been instantly consumed by Su Yu through this method. The divines, devils, and dragons were Su Yu’s priority targets.

If they had joined hands to face him, he might not have been able to defeat them. However, they were too frightened by the prospect of facing an Invincible death spirit. Thus, they could only flee while Su Yu took them down one after another.

Not far away.

The distance between the two mountains was quite big. Even so, someone on the other mountain still noticed something. He exclaimed in alarm, “That…run! Run now! The death spirits are here!”

He then fled with his team without bothering to say more. And thus, those on the second mountain started fleeing as well. There were hundreds of them. However, they were feeling both alarmed and relieved at the same time. Fortunately, the death spirits had picked the other mountain to assault first.

Numerous people could be seen fleeing in the direction of the entrance to the fifth level. Behind them, Su Yu was starting to sweat from exhaustion. There were too many people to kill. And all of them were fleeing. Thus, killing them was a tiring task.

Eventually, Su Yu sneaked a drop of seventh-stage Sunmoon blood essence into his mouth and swallowed it. With that, both his strength and aura grew, allowing him to stride forward and pluck lives from the escaping individuals with the Book of Death in hand.

Once covered by the book, escape would be impossible. That was the conclusion the fleeing people had reached. They must not allow the book to cover them.

Those who had caught sight of He Tu’s name on the book found themselves growing even more terrified of the book. The name itself was akin to a death sentence, and a mere gaze at it would seemingly show them their past and future lives.

Run!

Everyone fled in panic and fear.

The fourth level had turned into hell.

In their rush to escape, some of the weaker cultivators were unable to keep suppressing the burning effect on the fourth level. Eventually, they died to the burning of their five viscera and six bowels. Whenever Su Yu stumbled upon such corpses, he would sigh with regret at their incomplete state.
