Tribulation of Myriad Races

Sixth level.

After spending some time cursing, He Tu gnashed his teeth and said, “What a blunder. There are so many of them. More importantly, they are waiting for me. Clearly, news of my arrival has spread.”

He looked up at the sky and snorted.

With a sneer, he said, “Do they think they can stop me so easily? Dream on.”

Dummy said blankly, “Very strong…can’t go…”

“Relax.” He Tu said, “Do you know why I became the master of the holy cities back then? Do you know why I could reverse the spread of death qi?”

Dummy stayed silent. He had no answer.

He Tu said, “Because…that was the cultivation method of my family. Why did the Human Emperor reward my lineage with the Grand Cycle Method? Because of the important position my ancestor occupied.

“Do you know why the old turtle tolerated me so much in the beginning? Because my ancestor was his direct superior. My ancestor was the Devote King. I am the fifth generation descendant of Devote King.”

He Tu grinned, “Dummy, do you know Devote King? That is an existance suppressing the entire seventh level. He was among the more powerful human kings back then. He was in charge of the suppression of the Death Realm. The old turtle was merely a general under him. He wouldn’t have dared to kill me if I hadn’t lost control over the death spirits.”

“Devote…Devote King…” Dummy stared at He Tu blankly.

Noticing Dummy’s gaze, He Tu cursed and said, “What are you looking at? Stop dreaming. You’re not my ancestor. No way. If you were my ancestor, I would eat myself as food.”

What was that look in Dummy’s eyes? Why was Dummy looking at him like Dummy was his ancestor?

Soon, He Tu laughed again and said, “Are they dreaming of stopping me? How can it be so simple? I was merely caught by surprise earlier. Once I’m done preparing, I will summon more death sovereigns on the seventh level. Very well. The Luminous Domain Mansion is the perfect place for a mass slaughter.

“I am dead. It won’t be so easy for me to influence my ancestor’s weapon anymore. However, I can still suppress it for a split second. That will allow some death sovereigns to bypass the laws and come out to help me.”

Dummy listened silently.

He Tu gave the entrance one more glance and snorted. The seventh level was essentially his home ground. Devote King’s residence was his home.

Alas, his ancestor was dead. His father had been away during the ancient collapse. That was how he had survived. By the time He Tu’s era arrived, the Luminous Domain Mansion was no longer open to the public.

During the ancient past, his ancestor ruled the seventh level. He was an extremely important individual of the era.

Anyone wishing to go to the eighth level would need his ancestor’s permission. Apart from the Martial and Culture Kings, the Devote King was among the highest-ranked human kings of that period.

He Tu was in no rush to enter the seventh level. He only needed to prepare sufficiently before killing all those bastards. The audacity of them. What gave them the courage to stop him from returning home?

Not long ago, he had laughed at the Heavenly Overseer Marquis for having a home on the eighth level yet unable to return. But now, the same thing was happening to him. He was being prevented from returning to the seventh level.

At the same time.

The tunnels outside the mansion were still collapsing. This time, the number of collapsed tunnels was much smaller. Those from the minor races had remained silent, but they knew what was happening.

The major races were clearing the minor and ancient races from the mansion. They could see that the major races had barely suffered any losses this time, while some minor races had lost everyone inside the mansion.

Boom!

When yet another tunnel collapsed, a three-eyed canine appeared in the sky and coldly said, “How cold. They’re not leaving even one alive.”

He glanced around, focusing on the divines, devils, and immortals. This was most likely the handiwork of these races. All four celestial three-eyed canines in the mansion had perished.

The celestial three-eyed canine coldly said, “The humans are surviving fine as well. Looks like the eternal rule of nature still stands tall in this era. The lack of strength will be the main reason for the destruction of a race.”

The minor and ancient races had fewer numbers, making them the easiest targets. Even after everyone had agreed to target the humans, the minor and ancient races were still the first to be targeted.

Initially, over three hundred minor and ancient race members had survived. Now, about fifty of them had perished. Clearly, more than one group was conducting the slaughter. The Invincibles said nothing about that.

All those people had entered the mansion expecting something like this to happen. Alas, He Tu’s appearance had forced everyone onto the same level, making it even easier for the major races to remove everyone else.

Suddenly, a series of tunnels collapsed. Noticing the newly collapsed tunnels, the immortal kings frowned.

***

Su Yu and his companions were busy fleeing.

Not far behind them was an incomparably powerful dog who had just consumed eight immortals in a row. While fleeing, Su Yu was cursing inwardly. Holy shit!

He was wrong.

He could see that the so-called big dog was actually a hou. An incomparably powerful hou.

That was probably the popular Skyeater, someone listed on the Dao Affirmation Ranking, a descendant of the hou king he had met previously. Holy shit. This guy must have heard from the hou king that the immortals were delicious. Thus, he was out on a hunt for some immortals to eat. Among the immortals he had eaten, three of them were Sunmoons.

And the hou had seemingly sensed Su Yu’s group as well.

While fleeing, Pan Hu scolded, “Fuck! Fuck Su Yu and his family! Why is he not dead yet? In the past, the ancient races do not have the habit of eating immortals. Recently, they have gotten addicted to eating immortals!”

Nobody had ever dared to treat the powerful immortal race as food.

But Su Yu had changed that. After his promotion of how delicious the immortals were, eating immortals in secret became a trend among the ancient races. The older immortals were especially popular. In the past, the prevailing logic was that the older someone was, the less delicious their flesh would be. However, Su Yu had informed them that the older an immortla was, the more springy and flavorful their flesh would be…

That instantly elevated the old immortals into a delicacy among the ancient races. In truth, the immortals might not be that delicious. However, the truth had little relevance in the face of a good promotion. When someone claimed that the immortals were delicious, the others would get the urge to try.

When they ate an immortal who was not delicious, they would start wondering if that was because the immortal they had eaten wasn’t old enough. If old immortals were still not delicious, they would reason that they needed to look for even older immortals to eat.

In such a manner, the immortals came to be known as a delicacy. And at this point, eating immortals would become a status symbol. One would claim that the immortals were delicious to follow the trend even if they didn’t actually enjoy the taste. They would be too embarrassed to call themselves gourmets if they did not agree that immortals were delicious.

***

After eating a few immortals, the massive hou sniffed in Su Yu’s direction. The smell was decent.

However, he did not bother to give chase. It would be fine to catch some through sneak attacks, but it wouldn’t be wise to actually engage in a pursuit since there were still several immortal kings on the level.

Thus, the hou left.

Before long, an immortal king descended from the sky with an unsightly expression.

Damn it!

So many immortals had been eaten before he could even react. Damn those bastards! Damn that Skyeater! Was he so confident he was untouchable?

***

Meanwhile, Su Yu was still fleeing with an ugly expression.

He was wrong.

He was wrong to instigate the hous to eat the immortals. He was also wrong to disguise himself as an immortal. This was so dangerous. He swore not to disguise himself as an immortal ever again. He was much better off staying as a human.

Beside him, Pan Hu had just finished scolding Su Yu and his ancestors. Finally, he said with great indignation, “How can the immortals be delicious? This is bullshit!”

Su Yu looked at him in surprise. What was the meaning of that?

Had he eaten any before? How would he know otherwise?

Fourth Heaven also gave Pan Hu a glance. He did not say anything about that remark. Instead, he said, “Just be careful. As of late, many ancient race fellows are looking for immortals to eat. Among those ancient beasts, it is now trendy to eat immortals. It won’t stop anytime soon.”

Yes. It was now a trend. Nowadays, the ancient beasts would greet each other by asking if they had eaten an immortal today. They would ask about the way the immortal was eaten. They would ask if the immortal was eaten raw or cooked.

Su Yu resisted the urge to laugh when he heard Fourth Heaven narrate all that. How pitiful. Alas, he was now an immortal as well. He had to stay wary lest he end up as food for one of these ancient race fellows as well. That would be unfortunate.

As he checked his storage ring, he did a small calculation. Together, they had killed more than ten experts. However, this still felt too slow for him. Prior to this, he would kill hundreds of people at a time. Why was he slower when he was joining hands with others?

Well, that was mainly because there were simply too many experts on this level. They had to maintain a low profile while killing.

It was unknown if the two seventh-stage Sunmoons were really so weak or if they were hiding their strength. Su Yu had a feeling that they were killing at a far slower rate than normal.

“I’ll wait a few more days. If this continues, I’ll kill them and visit the Devote King’s residence instead…”

And thus, Su Yu reached a decision. He also wondered if He Tu could get on the seventh level successfully. Things wouldn’t be chaotic enough without He Tu around.

“Perhaps…I should lend He Tu a hand the next time he tries to enter?”

There was something Su Yu could do to help. He could call Tai Shan’s name. That would most certainly distract the Invincibles, giving He Tu a chance to break through the encirclement.

“I won’t be able to do anything without chaos.”

And thus, Su Yu made another decision. In any case, there were plenty of experts here to withstand Old Zhou’s anger. Suddenly, Su Yu looked in the direction of the Devote King’s residence. What was this feeling?

His connection to death qi had been severed after entering the mansion. Why was that connection…returning?

“Xing Yue…no way, right?”

Su Yu’s heart thumped! No! No! Why? She better not come! Her appearance might cause the others to detect the death qi in his body. That would cause him a lot of trouble!

***

At the same time.

Devote King’s residence. Death tunnel.

A death sovereign with obvious wounds on her body had just arrived. The other death sovereigns looked at her in surprise. One of them asked, “Xing Yue, why are you here?”

Had she traveled such a long distance here? It must have been a dangerous journey.

Xing Yue declared, “I am invading the Luminous Domain Mansion. He Tu is already inside the mansion. If we attack from both sides, it won’t be long before we can erase all living beings.”

“…”

The death sovereigns looked at her in surprise. How did she learn about this? Was this why she had taken such a long journey here? Wow. She sure had a lot of free time in her hands. Meanwhile, Xing Yue snorted inwardly. These idiots knew nothing.

She was here for Su Yu. He was…too annoying. She couldn’t stand him anymore. He Tu better work hard this time. She only wanted to bypass the heavenly laws once and kill the bastard known as Su Yu.

How dare that bastard humiliate her. She was a great death sovereign. Nobody could do this to her!
