Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu kept maintaining a low profile. As he waited, he looked around as he tried to determine which part of Old Zhou’s body this was. Before long, he reached a conclusion. At that conclusion, his expression turned odd.

They were on…Old Zhou’s buttocks.

Probably.

In that case, what about the eighth and ninth levels?

Old Zhou’s legs?

Or perhaps that wasn’t the case.

Were Old Zhou’s limbs still around?

Su Yu remembered that he had not seen Old Zhou’s arms anywhere.

But if the final two levels were Old Zhou’s legs, how would it work? A level per leg? Otherwise, each of the two levels would be split into two independent spaces. Was that the case?

Su Yu was also very curious about the nine-leaf skylotus. Was that…the location of the Heaven Connecting Acupoint?

Hehehe.

If that was really the case, it wouldn’t be surprising that it could grow a treasure like the nine-leaf skylotus.

The Heaven Connecting Acupoint connected the world outside and inside one’s body. It was the place where source qi converged. It would be the perfect place to grow something like the nine-leaf skylotus.

It was also rumored that a River of Time was hidden behind the nine-leaf skylotus. Very few people were aware of that. The old turtle knew because he was old enough. Even some of the Invincibles here might not know that. The Heaven Department head was here, and he was probably aware of that as well.

The nine-leaf skylotus would mature after blooming nine times. That was something Su Yu had learned from the old turtle.

Su Yu was more curious about the person who had erected a residence there. That was most certainly not an ordinary person. That was the location of the death tunnel and the entrance to the eighth level. The previous master of that residence was most likely the strongest existence on this level.

As for the eighth level, it was the headquarters of the Myriad Race Assembly. The residences of the ancient Pseudo Emperors and human kings were there. Of course, a small number of marquises had their residences there as well.

But all that wasn’t important. More importantly, could Old Zhou still fart? After all, the residence had been erected right on that spot of his. Wouldn’t a single fart ruin the residence? Then again, the residence had stood there for so many years. It was likely that Old Zhou could no longer fart.

Su Yu continued waiting in silence while the others kept arriving. He started making plans for the nine-leaf skylotus. It would be very difficult. With so many Invincibles present, he couldn’t rely on only himself if he wanted to succeed. For example, he could borrow the power of the death spirits.

There was a death tunnel in the residence. If the heavenly laws were triggered, the death spirits would probably make an appearance. A residence with a death tunnel in it would probably be quite similar to an ancient city. It was likely a different type of ancient city.

“Don’t tell me that’s the residence of the old turtle.”

No, the old turtle would have mentioned it if that were the case. Speaking of, without a living person here, who was in charge of suppressing the death tunnel?

Old Zhou?

Or was it something else?

Something must be suppressing the tunnel or the seventh level would be filled with death spirits by now.

“Will a super expert in charge of suppressing the tunnel appear? Or is it an item? Such an item needs to have the strength of an Invincible. Is it…a divine weapon?”

That was a level of power divine weapons could reach. Numerous thoughts surfaced in Su Yu’s mind.

“Wouldn’t it be great if I could get Xing Yue here…no, forget that. Xing Yue is quite rebellious. She won’t listen to me.”

Su Yu sighed with regret. This place was most likely reachable for Xing Yue. With him as the destination, she wouldn’t have much trouble finding the death tunnel here. Unfortunately, she wouldn’t listen to him.

At that moment, the final batch of people emerged from the entrance. Right after grabbing Qin Fang and Administrator Hu, the human Invincibles left with the other humans. The races with only one or two Invincibles were all doing the same.

Immortal King Xuan He watched silently as the humans left. After a short while, he sent the other immortal kings a voice transmission, “When we’re done making the arrangements for our juniors, start targeting the humans. Think of a way to deal with the Heaven Department head as well. Otherwise, none of us will be able to prevail over him.”

The other immortal kings nodded without saying anything. Most of the juniors here were the descendants of the various immortal kings. Thus, they had to take care of these juniors properly. If they were going to let these juniors die, they wouldn’t have bothered to pick these juniors up here.

For now, they had to find a safe place for these juniors. Otherwise, these juniors would only get in the way while they were fighting for the treasures on the level.

An immortal king said, “I suggest we keep all the juniors together. I found the residence of the ancient Marquis Qiyun. We can send our juniors there. Marquis Qiyun is an expert of the immortal race. It should be safe to keep them there. We can make further plans after that.”

“Agreed.”

“We also need to start focusing on He Tu. Things will get very troublesome when he arrives.”

“We can discuss this matter with the other races when we’re done with the juniors. He Tu alone isn’t scary, but I’m worried that he’ll activate the death tunnel and bring more death sovereigns into the mansion. That will be disastrous.”

He Tu might be strong, but he was not impossible to defeat. But if he was allowed to open the death tunnel, things could get very dangerous. Nobody knew how many death sovereigns there were in the Death Realm.

If He Tu could somehow overcome the heavenly laws and bring thirty to fifty death sovereigns into the mansion, all of them would die. That was also why the various races had kept some Invincibles behind even after picking up their juniors. They had to be on the lookout for He Tu.

At the same time.

Outside.

It had been a while since any tunnel had collapsed. The experts outside were relieved to see that. Clearly, the people inside had received their warning. It was likely that they had all entered the seventh level without wasting time fighting among themselves.

An Invincible said, “They must have reached the seventh level. This is a good thing. The casualties will reduce significantly after this. He Tu won’t be able to enter the seventh level so easily.”

“Check your expectations. I can only hope that they don’t fight among themselves before dealing with He Tu. If He Tu were to open the death tunnel, things could get very troublesome.”

“The White Jade Gate has been calm for quite a while so we won’t have any way to send a message inside. This is so worrisome. Pavilion Head, is there no way to send a message when the gate is calm?”

The scholar said, “There is hope if the two pieces are reforged into the index.”

Nobody bothered to say more. That would never happen. Bountiful Treasure General and the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor would never agree.

At the same time.

Grandstar City.

Noticing that Xing Yue was thinking of leaving, Grandstar asked, “Where are you going?”

“Kill Su Yu.” Xing Yue said with excitement, “He Tu is inside the mansion! He will probably open the death tunnel soon! With the tunnel open, I might be able to avoid the heavenly laws and kill Su Yu!”

“…”

Grandstar was left quite speechless. After a short silence, he said, “Stop running around. The Death Realm is very dangerous. Even if you can reach that place safely, there are many Eternals there. The Luminous Domain Mansion itself is a very dangerous place. What am I to do if you die and free Su Yu?”

In short, she couldn’t die.

“Shut up!”

Xing Yue was furious. Grandstar was insulting her! He was afraid that she would die? He was afraid that she would free Su Yu upon dying? She felt insulted! He was insulting a great death sovereign! How dare he?

Grandstar did not care about her anger. He continued, “Why don’t you stay here? I can chase any other death sovereigns away for you. Here, you will remain an overlord. Things could get very dangerous if you enter the territory of stronger death sovereigns…”

“Bastard! Are you insulting me?” Xing Yue roared furiously, “I’ll kill Su Yu! I was only planning on taking a look there, but now, I’ve decided to kill him!”

With boundless anger, Xing Yue departed. This was intolerable! Grandstar was left speechless. Why was she so angry when he was speaking the truth? She would be safe here. But after leaving this place, she would be faced with numerous Invincible death spirits. Was she not afraid of death?

“Fine. Remember to inform Su Yu if you find yourself in trouble. He might be able to help you. Be careful!”

Once again, Xing Yue’s furious roar rang out. She swore never to forgive Grandstar. How dare he humiliate her like this? Look for Su Yu when she was in danger? Was he listening to himself?

With fury, indignance, and shame, Xing Yue left. She had decided to enter the mansion and kill Su Yu. She would teach everyone that a death sovereign should never be humiliated.

Su Yu was a nobody. Without the heavenly laws around, she would be able to kill him easily!

“Sigh. Why is she so rebellious?”

Grandstar sighed. Wouldn’t it be great to stay here and enjoy the show? Why must she risk herself like this? What was she thinking? He Tu was a scumbag. She had to be careful lest she end up as a tool for him.

“Sigh. Why are they all so worrisome?”

Su Yu was gone. Xing Yue was gone. Losing either of them would bring him endless trouble. It was natural that Su Yu’s death would be disastrous for him. What about Xing Yue? That would free Su Yu. Who would be able to convert him again after that?

He Tu?

Was this a joke? Without the restrictions of the heavenly laws, why would He Tu even bother? He could kill Su Yu directly to turn Su Yu into a death spirit instead. Why bother with converting Su Yu into a residence?

Grandstar was feeling very distressed. In truth, he was quite confident in Su Yu. He believed that Su Yu wouldn’t die so easily. As for Xing Yue…he really wasn’t sure. She might really die before Su Yu.

Sigh. Why? Why were they all so worrisome? Was peace of mind so unreachable?
