Tribulation of Myriad Races

“Run?”

Seeing that the two celestial chasms were fleeing from him, Su Yu understood what they were thinking. He had to admit that they were quite sharp. But could they escape him? He wasn’t even out of trump cards.

Before long, a sagely Lan Tian arrived. Su Yu did not know if this was Lan Tian’s real body. With a pitiful expression, the sagely Lan Tian complained, “Little Su Yu, they’re trying to kill me!”

Su Yu found himself developing a whole new sense of respect toward Lan Tian. How could he continue behaving like this in such a situation? Did he not see that Great Qin King was on the verge of dying?

Su Yu roared, “Great Qin King, hold on a little bit longer. The four of us will prepare for a bit before killing the immortals and helping you.”

“…”

Great Qin King ignored him. The divines and devils ignored him as well. At this point, they already knew that it was unlikely for Su Yu to have a relationship with the celestial chasm race. However, they still needed to be wary.

Killing the immortals and helping Great Qin King? Sure. Keep waiting. Just then, Great Qin King’s body started splitting into three.

All his opponents were overjoyed to see that. After paying the price of several Invincibles, they had finally forced Great Qin King to split apart.

It was time for Great Qin King to die.

***

While gasping for breath, the three bodies of Great Qin King stood with their backs against each other. He looked around with only slight melancholy without any signs of grief.

He was more disappointed than sad about his failure. Sure enough, one would not be able to achieve anything great if one was too rash. As the guardian of humanity, he shouldn’t have been so brash. Alas, he was a human with emotions. There was no helping it.

He only felt guilty toward Old Zhou and Old Zhu. He had wasted the opportunity they had created for him. His death would bring humanity a massive disaster. He only hoped that they could hang in there.

He looked at Su Yu, at Lan Tian, and at the group of human Invincibles. Xia Longwu and the others were burning their blood essence and roaring as they attacked madly. However, they wouldn’t be able to make it in time.

All three bodies of Great Qin King were gasping for breath.

One was clad in armor. This was the past Great Qin King when he personally led the human army against the myriad races.

Another was clad in armor. This was the present Great Qin King, a more experienced version who had been baptised by the flames of war.

The final body was old and gray-haired, clad in an old and scarred armor.

“Hu…”

He raised his spear and continued his fight. He felt as though he had been fighting for a lifetime.

From eighteen, he had led a life of endless wars, leading his friends and companions, eventually defeating the previous tyrant of humanity and eliminating the previous dynasty. Right after that, the myriad races arrived. Once again, he picked up his spear and led his friends to another round of war.

He had killed numerous people, both humans and non-humans. When could he stop killing? He didn’t know. Perhaps today was the day. A general would not regret death after a lifetime of wars.

Too many people had advised him to proclaim himself Emperor. He had refused. He knew that he was lacking in more things than strength alone. He was not suited for this. He wasn’t strict enough toward his people. He wasn’t strong enough to suppress the myriad races. How could someone like that be an Emperor?

He knew what was happening in the Human Realm, but he was helpless. He knew about Fiery Sea’s betrayal. He knew about the secret culprit. But he was unwilling to investigate as he feared that the result would create more grief.

As Great Qin King thought of his past, a baleful and bleak atmosphere enveloped him.

He was old.

And he was tired of war.

It was time for the youngsters to take over.

Su Yu…Lan Tian…Wan Tiansheng…Xia Longwu…

One name after another surfaced in his mind. Before dying, he had to make the biggest impact he could. He had to kill all these people for the survival of these future pillars of humanity.

“Die!”

With a roar, all three bodies attacked the same devil king. The expression of the targeted devil king changed drastically. Lightning Divine King and Blood Fire Devil King hurriedly interfered.

Great Qin King’s spears moved ferociously while the devil king retreated madly. Suddenly, Great Qin King tossed his spears away. All three bodies spun around and grabbed Lightning Divine King. Ignoring Blood Fire Devil King’s attacks, they released a beastial roar.

Boom!

Rip!

Lightning Divine King was torn apart. A River of Time appeared. Shortly after, another Lightning Divine King appeared afar. He was a seventh-degree Eternal. Even after losing a tri-life body, he could reappear elsewhere instead of reappearing at the same place to be killed again.

One of Great Qin King’s bodies was greatly damaged by Blood Fire Devil King’s attacks. Just as the Blood Fire Devil King was about to push on, a rumble erupted.

The explosion shook the entire Luminous Domain Mansion.

The aging Great Qin King had detonated himself.

Just to slow the Blood Fire Devil King for a moment.

With that bought moment, the two remaining bodies forcefully merged with each other before sending a blade out.

Yes. Blade.

Blade of Xia.

It felt as though the blade had been born from the world itself. However, it had actually arrived from Zhu Tianfang’s body. It was the blade of Xia.

One of the trump cards Great Xia King had prepared for Great Qin King. However, it was supposed to be a last resort. Great Qin King was using it because he was out of options. It signified that he couldn’t last much longer.

Boom!

The shining blade illuminated the world. The blade struck, killing Lightning Divine King’s second body. With a roar, Great Qin King threw a punch toward Lightning Divine King’s final body.

A River of Time collapsed as Lightning Divine King’s final body was reduced to fine powder.

A rain of blood fell from the sky.

Lightning flickered in the sky.

The leader of the lightning divine race, the Lightning Divine King, had perished.

Shock rippled through the crowd.

Boundless shock.

A smile appeared on Great Qin King’s tired face. Finally, that guy was dead. With one body as the price, he removed a seventh-degree Eternal. This was a worthy exchange. Since he was already forced out of his merged state, it wouldn’t matter that much for him to lose his future body.

The divines would probably weep at this loss. Someone like Lightning Divine King would be important for any race. He was a seventh-degree Eternal. He was the sixth Invincible to die today.

Two immortals, three divines, and one devil…

Yes. The divines had lost three Invincibles thus far.

Only two pale divine kings remained. A realization hit them that they were in trouble. Or to be precise, their race was in trouble. They had lost three divine kings, with one of them being the leader of the lightning divine race.

***

At the same time.

Outside.

The world was shaking and a rain of blood was falling.

The expressions of various Invincibles were unsightly.

Six Invincibles.

Only a short time had passed since the death of the first immortal king. In less than half an hour, six Invincibles had perished.

“Who…is the killer?” Someone asked with a pale expression.

A devil king said, “Earlier, someone sent a blood essence transmission out. It’s Great Qin King. Great Qin King of the human race. I don’t know if this information is reliable.”

Countless gazes landed on the human encampment. Great Zhou King and Great Xia King maintained their cold and indifferent expressions, but Great Xia King’s heart was thumping.

This was very bad.

Something went wrong.

He could feel it. He could feel the activation of his strongest blade. At the moment of activation, Lightning Divine King had died.

Old Qin was the killer.

Great Xia King trembled. Yes. He was trembling.

Boundless regret welled within him. He shouldn’t. He shouldn’t have allowed Old Qin to go. This was very bad. The death of Old Qin would destroy the fragile unity humanity had. The moment the myriad races attacked, humanity would be in trouble.

“Damn it!”

Great Xia King roared inwardly. Damn it! Why? How did Great Qin King expose himself? Why did it happen so soon? Was the nine-leaf skylotus ready? Probably not. The estimated time for it to bloom had yet to arrive. Why did Great Qin King act so early?

Great Zhou King remained calm as he said indifferently, “What are you looking at? Do you trust the devils? Are you sure? Do you think we’re unaware that Blood Fire Devil King is in the mansion as well? If you ask me, only Blood Fire Devil King and that department head are capable of killing Lightning Divine King in the mansion.”

“Is that so?” Someone asked, “Are you sure that Qin Guang isn’t in there?”

“That shouldn’t be the case, right?”

“Hehe. If that’s the case, things are about to get a lot more interesting.”

“Won’t that be a good thing for us?”

“Maybe…this whole thing is a lie.”

Numerous Invincibles spoke up.

All of them carried a thick malice toward humanity.

Great Zhou King replied with the same indifference, “Yes, yes. Old Qin is in there. Are you prepared to attack the Human Realm while he’s away?”

Great Zhou King paused, smiled, and continued, “Give it a try.”

“Giving it a try? Sure.”

Three Rivers of Time unfurled all the way to the eastern sector. Three powerful existences attacked together. Just as Great Xia King’s heart thumped, the sky changed color.

A gigantic spear appeared in the sky. With boundless ferocity, it shot out.

A deafening rumble rang out.

A River of Time snapped.

A powerful individual appeared in the sky, spear in hand.

A tri-life body had been killed instantly.

The two remaining Rivers of Time vanished instantly.
