Tribulation of Myriad Races

Noticing that there were still countless Lan Tians around, Heavencurse’s expression changed as he said, “Lan Tian. What an incredible individual.”

Lan Tian might not be stronger than him, but Lan Tian was most certainly not much weaker than him. For some reason, Lan Tian seemed even stronger here in the mansion. Whenever Lan Tian wailed, the sound waves would attack his sea of willpower, injuring him in an imperceptible manner.

“Heavencurse!”

Lan Tian said, “Your father killed Ye Batian. Tiansheng once swore to kill your entire family and erase your entire race. Heavencurse! You have an inauspicious name! As fellow Heavens (Tian), we should be family! But you’re going to die!”

Heavencurse coldly said, “Feel free to kill me if you can. Lan Tian, right? I will remember your name.”

“Lan Tian!”

“Lan Tian!”

The voices started reverberating in the air as one Lan Tian after another rotted away.

Numerous clones died, but not a single death spirit appeared. These were mere clones. Thus, their deaths would not trigger the appearance of death spirits.

Lan Tian continued wailing, “You’re bullying me! Heavencurse, you’re bullying me! You’re a bully!”

A massive sense of resentment enveloped the entire seventh level. Suddenly, a rumble rang out. A fiendish face appeared in the air and swallowed a clump of Heavencurse’s deadly qi.

Splurt!

Ads by PubRev Instantly, Heavencurse coughed a mouthful of blood. He hurriedly erased his blood and exclaimed in horror, “You…”

Lan Tian wailed away, “You must die! Die! Die! How can you kill my clones? Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!”

Fuck!

Heavencurse had always been the one to curse others to death. Today, he had somehow met his match. Lan Tian’s wail had resonated with something incorporeal, producing the fiendish face that was even stronger than his curse.

It had shattered his curse with only a single bite.

Finally, Lan Tian stopped wailing. Instead, he asked while sobbing, “Why must you bully me? Why? Why? Why? You can’t bully me anymore! I’m small and weak…”

One Invincible after another appeared around them. They all stared at the sky with odd expressions. With their appearance, Lan Tian vanished and started wailing again, “You’re bully me! I have been wronged! I’m suffering! Little Su Yu! Help me! They are bullying me!”

At that, the expressions of the Invincibles changed slightly. Suddenly, Lan Tian laughed and said, “Teehee, hahaha, hehehe, my Little Su Yu is right here! He is among you! He is half my disciple! He has learned his art of disguise from me! He’s amazing!”

“Lan Tian! Stop misleading everyone with ridiculous rumors!”

Immortal King Yueshi said, “What can a mere Su Yu do? Even if he’s a freak, this is the Luminous Domain Mansion. Would he dare to show his face here?”

“Teehee, he’s coming soon! Teehee, he’s coming soon! He will kill you all! Kill you all!” Kill!”

His voice started drifting further away from them. Several Invincibles appeared from the void with numerous captured clones. One of them said, “He has too many clones. There is no way to detect his real body.”

“There is something sinister about him.”

“More importantly, he seems to have resonated with something on the seventh level. That power of resentment is incredibly powerful.”

As Invincibles, they were able to see much more than an ordinary person. Heavencurse’s curse had actually been defeated by something similar to a curse. That was quite unbelievable. Prior to this, he was ranked at the top of the Dao Affirmation Ranking. It did not matter if the previous ranking wasn’t perfectly accurate.

There must be a reason for him to be ranked so highly. He had been able to fight Invincibles evenly for a very long time. And today, he had suffered in the hands of Lan Tian. The Invincibles had unsightly expressions. That lunatic had been growing crazier and crazier. He had been killing people randomly. More importantly, he was unbelievably strong.

One of the Pseudo Invincibles guarding the pond exclaimed in surprise, “Lord Immortal King, is Su Yu really here?”

Immortal King Yueshi replied, “Does that matter? What can a mere Cloudbreach do? This is not an ancient city.”

“Yes, I understand. But is he here?”

Immortal King Yueshi frowned and said, “Why do you ask? Why does that matter to you?”

What was that expression?

So what if Su Yu was here? Even a lunatic like Lan Tian couldn’t do anything big, much less a mere Su Yu. Immortal King Yueshi couldn’t understand this. What was this reaction? He had seen way too many freaks to be impressed by Su Yu.

At that time, the top Pseudo Invincibles started leaving one after another. It felt as though they were only here to show their faces. After giving the death tunnel a glance, Heavencurse left as well.

***

At the same time.

In the death tunnel.

The various death sovereigns were waiting in excitement.

Suddenly, a sinister voice rang out in the tunnel, “Respected lord sovereigns, I am Heavencurse of the celestial chasm race. I am willing to help with your freedom. I wish to form an alliance with all of you. To be specific, I am proposing an ancient alliance between my race and all of you. If you agree, we will help all of you enter the seventh level.”

Xing Yue had an odd expression, but a death sovereign beside her smiled and said, “Celestial chasm race? The ancient fallen race? The Celestial Chasm Realm is right beside our Death Realm. Only a wall separates us.”

“That doesn’t matter. There is no tunnel there apart from some tiny cracks. Those cracks are insufficient to free us. Only some tiny fellows can leave through those cracks.”

The ancient death sovereigns started discussing among themselves. Xing Yue was unaware of many of the things they were talking about.

A death sovereign laughed and said, “Interesting. The celestial chasm race is actually proposing an alliance. Do we agree?”

“Sure.”

“Why not? These living beings are always so confident of themselves. They are merely trying to borrow our strength to achieve their goal. Just agree. Their goal does not conflict with our goal.”

Before long, the death sovereigns looked at Xing Yue. One of them asked, “What about you, Xing Yue?”

After a short silence, Xing Yue asked, “Will the so-called ancient alliance be restrictive toward us? How does it work? Also, how did he send his voice to the Death Realm? This should not be possible for a living being.”

At the very least, this shouldn’t be possible for this sealed tunnel. This was still possible for the ancient city tunnels provided one had the permission of the stone statues.

“Because he’s from the celestial chasm race.” The ancient death sovereign explained, “They have been cooperating with death spirits for many years. This is merely a small trick. As for the ancient alliance, you’re too young to know about it. The Celestial Chasm Realm had cooperated several times with the Death Realm before. The heavenly laws served as the witness for these oaths. This time, they are probably targeting the nine-leaf skylotus. We only want to go out and link up with He Tu.”

Xing Yue asked, “Do you intend to accept this proposal?”

“Why not?”

Xing Yue thought about it and nodded. That was understandable. The skylotus was useless for death spirits. They only wanted to leave.

Xing Yue said, “Can the celestial chasm race help us bypass the heavenly laws and leave the Death Realm?”

“I don’t know, but any help is better than none.”

Xing Yue stopped asking. She wondered if she should notify her disobedient subordinate about this. The celestial chasm race was actually capable of sending messages into the Death Realm. She was unaware of this before. How embarrassing.

Heavencurse must have used a unique method to accomplish this feat since not one of the Invincibles out there noticed anything.

“Su Yu isn’t actively absorbing my death qi with his yang acupoint. Is he hiding somewhere? Should I send some death qi his way and expose him?”

Xing Yue started fantasizing of Su Yu’s death. Should she do it? At worst, she would suffer a tiny punishment from the heavenly laws. After thinking about it, she snorted and gave up on the temptation.

That crafty fox might have a way to handle this. If she attempted it and failed, he would most definitely take his revenge against her. He could simply start absorbing her death qi again. Before long, the death sovereigns around her would sense her weakness. At that point, they wouldn’t hesitate to devour her.

She decided to spare Su Yu for now. Thus, she started rippling her death qi through the death qi connection without increasing the intensity. These ripples could only be understood by both Su Yu and her.

***

At the same time.

Su Yu blanked out slightly before neutralizing the tiny bit of death qi in his body.

His death qi connection had been restored the moment Xing Yue arrived. However, the amount of death qi flowing through from it had been low enough for him to neutralize before anyone could notice anything. He could keep this up as long as he wasn’t absorbing death qi with his yang acupoint. There seemed to be a message in the recently arrived death qi.

Su Yu focused on it. Before long, the look in his eyes changed.

Holy shit!

Celestial chasm race?

Impressive. That was a race capable of colluding with the death spirits. Could they be considered the traitors of all living beings, then?

Su Yu sank into thought, thinking of ways to make use of this information.

“Perhaps…this would be the perfect chance for a death spirit to snatch the nine-leaf skylotus with the assistance of others. But Xing Yue needs to be obedient for this to work. Xing Yue will also require the assistance of the other death sovereigns and Heavencurse…”

That would greatly increase her chances of succeeding.

Su Yu made use of the death qi connection to send a message back to Xing Yue.

***

At the same time, Frost Divine King frowned and started looking around. Did He Tu spread so much death qi on the seventh level that he was sensing it out of nowhere? He focused on his mirror but couldn’t find anything wrong.

However, he was certain there were some weak death qi undulations nearby just moments ago. He sent his willpower into his mirror, but he found nothing unusual. Then, he waved his hand and removed all the death qi in his immediate surroundings.

Nearby, a divine king sent him a voice transmission, “What are you doing? Don’t disperse the death qi or the death tunnel won’t open. We need chaos to face the coming battle.”

Frost Divine King had no argument. Thus, he allowed his surroundings to be filled with death qi yet again. Yes. The Invincibles were no longer making any effort to remove the death qi in the air. They were all waiting for the death tunnel to open.

All of them were waiting patiently. All except…Qin Zhen. He was working very hard to remove the death qi around him. Nobody knew if he was really so dumb or if he was simply good at acting. Nobody knew if he was doing this because he disliked death qi or if he was really trying to prevent the death tunnel from opening.
