Tribulation of Myriad Races

A divine king coldly remarked, “The humans sure are lucky. Is it possible that they’re related to He Tu’s arrival? After all, He Tu was a human during the first epoch. He might still remember the humans.”

Zhu Tianfang laughed and said, “It’s pointless to say this. If death spirits are willing to help the races they belonged to, we would have formed a connection with the Death Realm long ago. I believe it is fair to say that the human race had more Invincibles than any other race during the ancient past, right? It will be an automatic win for us. Do you really think death spirits care about their previous race?

“During the first epoch, He Tu led the death spirits and attacked the Myriad Realms. Ultimately, he lost control over the death spirits. It’s not like the death spirits have never killed humans before.”

“Hmph!” The divine king snorted, but he couldn’t argue against that.

Zhu Tianfang smiled and stopped speaking as well.

Just then, those from the major races started arriving.

A devil king frowned and asked, “Where is Mo Duona?”

Why were these useless fools here so early? They should have let the geniuses to come through first.

A devil hurriedly answered, “Lord Mo Duona suggested that the weaklings go through first to prevent any unexpected trouble. Those below the Sunmoon Realm will go through the entrance first.”

The Invincibles stopped asking. This wasn’t a bad idea. At the very least, it guaranteed stability. Before long, a group of humans emerged from the entrance.

Batch after batch of people arrived. Eventually, Wu Lan and the others arrived as well. They could feel the pressure in the air. When they saw Xia Longwu standing not far away with a blade in hand, they hurriedly rushed over.

Someone said, “Prince Qin Fang, Lord Mo Duona, and the others will come through last. Please stay calm until everyone is here.”

The elites of the various races would come through at the very end.

Qin Fang of the human race, Xuan Wuji of the immortal race, Mo Duona of the devil race, Long Yingyue of the dragon race…

Qin Zhen nodded, “A son of Qin is always courageous. Well done.”

He then glanced at Xia Longwu with a grin. He remembered seeing Xia Longwu’s son among the earliest batches to go through the entrance. Meanwhile, his son was staying behind until the very end.

Qin Fang wasn’t too strong, but each race would have a Sunmoon serving as the dao protector. As for the human race, their protector was Administrator Hu. His strength was reliable.

Xia Longwu did not bother to argue. There wasn’t anything to argue about. His son was too weak to be useful staying behind anyway. In the eyes of the myriad races, Qin Fang was far more important than his son. It was pointless to argue about this with Qin Zhen.

Sixth level.

More and more people went through the entrance.

Before long, it was Su Yu’s turn.

He was in no rush, and he was keeping a low profile. Moving with Pan Hu and Dao Cheng, he soared into the sky. When the whirlpool was right in front of him, he had the urge to shout Tai Shan’s name. But ultimately, he held back.

He had to stay low profile for now since there were still quite a lot of humans down there. There was no rush. He could always kill later. Shortly after, the group of immortals went through the whirlpool.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yu found himself atop a large platform.

Multiple Invincibles could be seen hovering in the sky. Right after their arrival, an expert flew over. The expert was visibly relieved upon seeing Dao Cheng in the group.

Both Su Yu and Pan Hu hurriedly bowed, “Greetings, Lord Taihe.”

The expert was none other than Taihe. He was the strongest expert from Dao King’s line in the mansion, a ninth-stage Sunmoon. He was the direct disciple of Dao King and a fellow apprentice of Ming He.

With a smile on his face, Tai He nodded at the three. Then, his gaze settled on Dao Cheng as he said, “Good, very good.”

He was glad to see three survivors. This was much better than he expected. After witnessing the losses of the other immortal kings, he had been worried that everyone from Dao King’s line would be dead. Fortunately, there were four survivors inclu,ding himself.

Taihe switched to voice transmission, “There are five immortal kings here. Even Immortal King Xuan He is here. Prince, we will be joining Immortal King Xuan He’s group. Please…smile more later.”

Dao Cheng’s face turned slightly stiff, but he still nodded. Then, he looked toward the massive ethereal figure in the sky.

Immortal King Xuan He.

That was an ancestor of Fairy Jiu Xuan. Immortal King Xuan He was weaker than Dao King. He was only a middle-degree Eternal. But here, he was considered one of the stronger ones.

Dao King’s line was supposed to form a marriage alliance with Immortal King Xuan He’s line. However, it had failed due to Jiu Xuan’s death. They still had a cooperative relationship, but they were no longer as close.

As for Su Yu, he started cursing inwardly. His advantage had evaporated after entering the seventh level. Everyone was joining up with Invincibles right after arriving. This would be troublesome.

In the presence of Invincibles, he had to get lucky just to stay hidden from the Invincibles. He wouldn’t have much chance to do anything. Thus, he tossed the thought of causing some trouble away and looked in a certain direction.

A massive lotus was hanging in the sky. It looked incomparably beautiful, and it greatly resembled the smiling mouth lotus. Nine-leaf skylotus? Was it floating right there? Why was everyone ignoring it?

Su Yu was quite surprised.

He was not the only person focusing on the lotus. Everyone was looking at it. While leading the group toward Immortal King Xuan He, Taihe said through voice transmission, “That’s merely a projection. The real nine-leaf skylotus is not there. Rather, it’s in a palace down here. That was the residence of a powerful ancient expert. The nine-leaf skylotus is in there. That’s a troublesome residence as it’s also the location of the death tunnel.

“That’s not all. The entrance to the eighth level is there as well. It’s a very dangerous place. The eighth level is extremely dangerous. As for the nine-leaf skylotus, it has yet to fully bloom. Thus, nobody is in a rush to fight over it.”

This time, the skylotus was the main target of the various Invincibles.

In recent days, most of the battles had only erupted for the sake of reducing the potential competitors. The Invincibles had yet to fight each other to the death since everyone was saving strength for the skylotus.

Shortly after, the group reached a mountain with a flattened peak. A super expert sat cross-legged in the sky above the peak. More immortals could be seen on the ground.

There, Taihe hurriedly said, “Lord, we will need to trouble you for protection. Dao Cheng, get over here.”

Dao Cheng bowed and said, “Greetings…Lord…”

Immortal King Xuan He looked very old. He had not bothered to open his eyes when Taihe was speaking. Now that Dao Cheng was here, he opened his deep, profound eyes and said, “You have grown distant.”

Dao Cheng said bitterly, “Grandpa Xuan…I…Jiu Xuan…”

“It wasn’t your fault.” Immortal King Xuan He said, “Jiu Xuan was killed by Su Yu. I am not one to shift blame on others unreasonably. Su Yu will die. He was also the reason for Dao King to lose his tri-life bodies. Have you found any carrier treasures?”

Dao Cheng shook his head, “No. Carrier treasures are too hard to find. Senior Brother Ling Heng did find a blood reishi, but it’s not enough…”

“That’s a decent enough harvest.” Immortal King Xuan He looked at Su Yu and Pan Hu before saying, “The seventh level is filled with dangers. Even someone like me might die. I am an old friend of Dao King. Since Dao Cheng is here, I will naturally protect him. However, my protection will most likely end when the nine-leaf skylotus blooms. If you wish to look for treasures on the seventh level, feel free to do so. The others will be doing this as well. But I won’t interfere after you leave my side.”

“Thank you for your instructions, Lord.”

Both Su Yu and Pan Hu bowed at the immortal king.

Suddenly, a loud rumble rang out.

When they looked at the platform, they saw a massive saber descending from the sky before knocking a sword away. At the same time, Liu Wenyan’s group was walking out of the entrance. Liu Wenyan showed no change in expression as he cupped his fists at Xia Longwu before moving toward Xia Longwu with the others.

As for Xia Longwu, his killing intent rippled out as he fixed his gaze on the immortal king who had attacked and said, “If you wish to die, I’ll be glad to fulfil your wish.”

Immortal King Xuan He merely smiled indifferently. He sealed their surroundings and said, “The Carnage King is not weak. He reached the middle degree right after becoming an Eternal. The humans have four Eternals here. It’s pointless to try anything in front of them.”

He couldn’t be bothered to get involved. The other immortal king had merely attacked to test the waters. He did not care about Xia Longwu’s threat. He wouldn’t mind killing Liu Wenyan if Xia Longwu didn’t want to interfere. But if Xia Longwu wanted to interfere, he was in no rush to kill Liu Wenyan either.

As time passed, more immortals approached Immortal King Xuan He. There were five immortal kings here. Quite a lot of immortals had approached these Invincibles for protection after entering the seventh level.
