Tribulation of Myriad Races

Outside.

More tunnels collapsed.

Thirty, fifty…

Both Su Yu and He Tu were killing simultaneously.

There were quite a lot of survivors on the third level when Su Yu left. Su Yu might be efficient in killing, but he had not bothered to search for them. As many of them were spread all over the level, many had survived by the time he was done. Meanwhile, that was not the case for He Tu.

This was already the fourth day.

Even more tunnels were collapsing.

From 3,600 tunnels, the number dropped to 2,100. And before long, it dropped to 2,000.

After some time, it dropped to 1,900.

In less than half an hour, about 300 people had died.

An Invincible roared furiously, “Is there no solution for this? Are we going to wait until He Tu reaches the higher levels and starts killing the Sunmoons?”

For now, most of the deaths only involved those below the Sunmoon Realm. But when He Tu reached the higher levels, could those Sunmoons stop him? The Invincibles were all on the seventh level. There was no guarantee that they knew what was happening.

Many of the Sunmoons were Invincible descendants. They had all entered the mansion to gather treasures for their seniors. The Invincibles couldn’t help but feel anxious about this.

Someone said, “Is the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion still incapable of sending a message inside? Tell everyone to flee. Flee to the seventh level. Tell those on the seventh level to stop fighting among themselves. Unless they can handle He Tu, all of them will die. Back then, He Tu was already near the Daofuse Realm. Even after dying, he is no weaker than a seventh-degree Eternal. How many of the Eternals in there can deal with him?”

The scholar from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion still looked calm. He said, “He Tu won’t be able to achieve victory on the seventh level.”

After all, the Heaven Department head was in there as well.

That was someone only a step away from achieving Daofuse.

The scholar was more confused about the failure of the Heavenly Hunt Index to send more messages into the mansion. Previously, they had received the message containing He Tu’s name right after he made the attempt. After giving it some thought, he said, “There is no way to send any messages in there for now. We need the White Jade Gate to shake. That is the only opening to send a message inside. We also need to inform those inside that contact can only be maintained when the White Jade Gate is shaking.”

A realization came to everyone. That was indeed the case. When they received the message previously, the White Jade Gate had been shaking. In that case, when would the gate shake again? f r\eeNovelFire.c(o)(m)

Helplessness sank in. Previously, they were worried about the shaking gate. Now, they had to start praying for the gate to shake again. At this rate, everyone inside would die. It was only the fourth day. And half of the people inside were already dead. This was a heavy loss for many.

This was especially true for the divines and devils. In the latest round of deaths, very few immortals had died. However, the divines and devils had died in swathes. Some of the Invincibles were going mad after losing all their people inside.

“Damn it!”

“He Tu! I won’t forget this!”

Meanwhile, Dao King was sneering inwardly. Were they finally worried now?

Were they finally angry?

He had calmed down significantly. Three of his people were still alive. A seventh-stage Sunmoon, a ninth-stage Sunmoon, and his grandson, Dao Cheng.

Of the thirteen he had sent inside, ten had died. Previously, he felt terrible. But now, he wasn’t feeling as bad anymore.

After all, some divine and devil kings had lost everyone inside. But that was mostly limited to those who could only send those below the Sunmoon Realm inside. The slaughter inside the mansion continued, but the speed had slowed down considerably. It wasn’t that Su Yu had stopped. Rather, many had fled to the next level.

Entrance to the fifth level.

Only those at the Mountainsea Realm or beyond could open this entrance. And even Mountainseas would find this a dangerous entrance to brave. With the raging flames around the entrance, any carelessness could kill them.

Even so, they still braved the danger without a second thought. The weaker cultivators started stepping into the entrance under the protection of the stronger cultivators. From afar, Su Yu saw that some had even started fighting among themselves for the right to enter the entrance first. He also saw that some of the humans and immortals had departed, but some were still in the middle of leaving.

Suddenly, he sent a voice transmission, “Wait.”

Amid the crowd, Yellow Nine’s eyes flickered. When she looked behind her, she saw Su Yu standing far away from the crowd. The moment she saw him, she cursed inwardly.

This guy was a butcher through and through.

There were about seven to eight hundred divines and devils on the mountain. Over two hundred had been killed by him. Even now, he was still killing. The number of deaths was starting to reach three hundred. However, she had to obey due to the presence of the little furball in her head.

She silently slowed down and engaged a random person nearby in combat. By the time Xia Huyou and the others turned to look for her, she had moved far away from them. Xia Huyou opened his mouth to speak, but he suddenly stopped as he thought of something. Then, he gnashed his teeth and said, “We go. She will cover our retreat.”

Everyone knew that the death spirit behind them was incomparably dangerous. But Xia Huyou knew that there was no danger. Since Yellow Nine was not leaving, she must have received a message from Su Yu.

As the other humans started leaving, Qin Fang shouted, “Don’t give up on anyone! I’ll stay and watch our backs! How can you leave a woman behind to die?”

Xia Huyou and the others merely looked at him like they were looking at a fool. This guy…well, he was kind. But this was pointless.

Left with no choice, Xia Huyou said, “Come with us. You’re a Qin. We still need your guidance on the upper levels. Things will only get more dangerous. Come with us! Hundreds of people are relying on you!”

Qin Fang had an unsightly expression. After letting out an indignant roar, he joined them.

He had to go.

This was his responsibility to shoulder.

Before leaving, he roared again, “Comrade, if you survive this, even as a cripple, I’ll take you as my wife and take care of you for the rest of your life!”

Far away from the group, Yellow Nine curled her lips and rolled her eyes.

The Qin Family?

Who would want to marry a dumb guy like that? As time passed, fewer and fewer people remained.

Nobody was willing to stay behind. Everyone was terrified of the death spirit.

It took a while for Su Yu to finish killing those unable to leave on time.

Yellow Nine had also killed a few individuals who had stood in her way.

When silence returned, Yellow Nine asked, “Yes?”

Su Yu did not bother saying much. He tossed her a storage ring and said, “It’s dangerous up there. It doesn’t matter if you die, but I’m worried that Wu Lan and the others won’t survive. There are some treasures here. Hand it to them and have them consume these treasures. I have treasures capable of regrowing flesh and bones from nothing in there as well. Tell them to grow as soon as possible. He Tu is really here. I don’t know how long it will take him to climb to the higher levels.”

Yellow Nine indifferently sent her willpower into the storage ring. Instantly, she froze. She stared at Su Yu with disbelief. This guy…was truly generous at times.

She saw many treasures in there. Some of them were the treasures she had been eyeing earlier. However, Su Yu had not given her the chance to harvest anything.

Su Yu said, “Furball, keep an eye on her. Remember to hand these treasures to them. If you hand even one less item to them, you die. One more thing. Don’t be in a rush to enter the seventh level. Hollow might be there. Without me around, you might fall for their tricks.”

That was his message to the little furball.

The little furball emerged from Yellow Nine’s head and said sulkingly, “Can I eat her now? I want to stay with you.”

Su Yu laughed with amusement and said, “Enough about that. Go. Don’t drag this out or the others might start suspecting you.”

He looked at Yellow Nine and said, “My Teacher Liu might be on the fifth or the sixth level. But he’s definitely not on the seventh level. Remember to verify your bloodline with him when you see him.”

Yellow Nine said nothing.

Su Yu looked around, exhaled, and said, “Go. I will be staying here for a bit.”

Yellow Nine left without saying anything.

Peace returned to the fourth level.

A decently large number of people had died before the rest could flee. According to Su Yu’s estimate, about half of the people here had died.

“There are probably fewer than two thousand survivors in the mansion now.”

As for the Mark of Civilization, the 110th golden stripe was on the verge of fully appearing. It might appear fully after a few more kills. With the growth of the book, the projections from the pages had also grown much stronger.

That was especially true for the divine, devil, and immortal pages. The projections in those pages had grown to second-stage Sunmoons. Even those pages looked much shinier than before. Each page was already at the level of an earth weapon. Some were already starting to evolve into the next tier.

“By the time I’m done, each page will probably be a heaven weapon while the book will be a divine weapon…”

At that thought, even Su Yu inhaled in shock. He couldn’t help but wonder about the grade of the book forged by the previous Time Sage. Was the golden book in his head the Mark of Civilization of the previous Time Sage?

“The Heavenly Hunt Index is related to my golden book, but what’s the relationship? When the Heavenly Hunt Index attempts to establish contact with those inside the Luminous Domain Mansion, the golden book reacted…”

Su Yu sank into thought. Was that a connection between the page of a book and a book? Was the golden book in his mind incomplete?

“The Heavenly Hunt Index is capable of ranking and listing the strength of the various experts. It’s more like a catalog…”

Su Yu had forged a proper book instead of a catalog. But he started wondering if the previous Time Sage had forged a catalog instead of a proper book. Were the ranks and gathering of auras merely a way to assist the Time Sage in corpse collection?

“Right! Corpse collection!”

At the Time Sage’s level, collecting regular corpses would probably be a waste of time. Only geniuses and experts were worth collecting. The Time Sage would most likely be a picky corpse collector. View the correct content at NovelFire

“No way…are those so-called genius rankings…merely a list of corpses to be collected?”

Understanding dawned on Su Yu. Right. If he were the Time Sage, he would most likely forge something like that as well. Unlike him, the Time Sage would not be desperate enough to collect any corpse available for collection. Someone at the level of the Time Sage could afford to be picky.

“Heavenly Hunt Index? Heh, it’s merely a death list.”

Su Yu curled his lips with disdain. Why was he so proud in the past for topping the ranking? That would only make him a priority corpse for the Time Sage to collect.
