Tribulation of Myriad Races

When Hu Xiansheng noticed that Su Yu was observing him, he slowed down slightly, allowing Su Yu to get a better look.

In Hu Xiansheng’s hands, space was akin to mud he could mold as he pleased. As Hu Xiansheng played with the space in front of him, a tiny black hole took form. He pushed his arm into the black hole, only for it to reappear about a hundred meters away.

This was a demonstration of the point-to-point concept.

“The dao of space isn’t too complicated. We only need to understand that beyond the layer of space we exist in, there are many different layers, also known as dimensions to some. That is the origin of all the secret realms. Storage rings, teleportation formations, teleportation portals…all these things are related to the dao of space. Even your book is related to the manipulation of space to some extent…

“Instant movement is essentially a movement into a different layer of space before compressing space to reach a different point in space. For example, I can compress a kilometer inside your book to travel that distance with only one step.

“If I can compress ten kilometers to only a meter, I can also appear ten kilometers away with only a step. Thus, personal strength plays a big role in the distance you can teleport. Strength is required to compress the different layers of space.

“Simply put, teleportation is the act of bending space. A regular person will walk straight on a path without doing anything. But bending the path will also shorten the journey. As for people like us, we aim to bend the path into a circle, allowing us to move from one end to the other in an instant.”

Hu Xiansheng was explaining to Su Yu as he experimented. He knew that Su Yu had been trying to form a space-related character for a while. Perhaps he would succeed this time. After all, Hollow was affirming his dao.

Hollow’s dao affirmation was progressing at a rapid speed. That wasn’t surprising because he was already strong enough for dao affirmation. He had merely been delaying it to seek a balance between his three bodies.

The rippling space in the sky was providing Su Yu with a chance to deepen his understanding of space. He even activated his fire of inheritance as he sank into deep thought. He was too unfamiliar with space. In the past, he had been able to form new characters easily.

Meanwhile, it had been very difficult for him to form space-related characters. After an indeterminate amount of time, Hollow roared, followed by a loud explosion of aura.

Boom!

A multicolored cloud appeared in the sky. This was a heavenly reward for the advancement of a super genius like Hollow. Naturally, the reward was related to space. Just then, the space in Su Yu’s vision started shrinking before exploding before shrinking again. The same process repeated itself again and again.

Slowly, a character took form in Su Yu’s mind. He was forming his thirtieth character. All around him, space started rippling weakly. The new character was taking form with great difficulty, but it eventually completed its formation.

Pass.

It was not space. It was the pass character, pass for passing through.

With a flicker, Su Yu vanished. This time, he wasn’t vanishing due to his speed. Rather, he had truly vanished before stumbling out of thin air about ten meters away.

Hu Xiansheng said, “Too slow. Too short.”

Su Yu nodded. The speed was too slow while the distance was too short. For an expert, he might as well be standing still. Nevertheless, this was a good start. He was still pleased with it.

If he could strengthen himself in the dao of space, he would be able to solve the issue of his speed. It would allow him to put up a fight against even Invincibles. He would no longer be a clumsy punching bag.

Of course, Invincibles would still enjoy an advantage over him with their mastery over time. But that was no longer a big deal.

With better mastery over space, Su Yu could always escape upon encountering opponents he couldn’t defeat.

“But it’s still too weak…”

It was only a second-tier character. For the present Su Yu, second-tier characters were too weak. That was essentially a Skysoar character. He needed the character to reach at least the fifth tier to contend against Invincibles.

“Pass and slow.”

Both those characters required more growth. With these characters, he would have the ability to traverse through space and slow his opponent. In truth, there was a small amount of the power of time in the slow character. It was a character he had comprehended from Silk Destroying King’s Time technique. If he could grow both these characters sufficiently, he could solve many of his current issues.

“My willpower is not strong enough. Perhaps pushing my willpower to the Mountainsea Realm will be enough to give my characters a boost. Thus, I need to open the yin aperture…”

Numerous thoughts emerged in Su Yu’s mind. He was in a good mood. Initially, he had been tempted to kill Hollow for more comprehension on the power of space. Surprisingly, he had achieved the same by just observing Hollow’s dao affirmation.

He saw that Hollow had completed the dao affirmation, but a full transformation would take some time. Thus, Su Yu decided to leave. After giving Hu Xiansheng a slight bow, he vanished with a flicker.

This time, he was traveling through his pass character repeatedly. Each time, he would move about ten meters. But soon, the range increased. When he finally reached a hundred meters, he stopped trying to increase his range. He maintained his range and continued blinking forward. He did not seem to care about the drain on his willpower. Rather, it seemed like he was having a lot of fun.

Everyone watched silently as he left. After a long while, Zhou Polong said, “What a monster.”

That was truly a monster. He could form natural characters as easily as drinking water. At present, his accomplishments in the dao of space was still nothing special. The distance he could traverse with a single blink was probably shorter than even the size of some demonic beasts. However, this was merely a start for him.

Hu Xiansheng nodded, “He enjoys a good advantage over many people. To traverse through space, a strong body is required. And his body is strong enough to not worry about that. He can focus solely on the advancement of his character. Meanwhile, I am so weak that I have to constantly worry about my body. With the same character, he will be able to traverse ten thousand kilometers at a time while I’ll be stuck a only ten kilometers. That’s the difference between us. Just how strong his his body now?”

He seemed to recall that Su Yu was already capable of battling Invincibles prior to this by relying on Invincible blood essence. At the time, his body was still at the level of a Pseudo Invincible.

What about now? Nobody answered the question. Not even Great Qin King. Just how strong was Su Yu’s body right now? They only knew that his body was now very strong.

As Su Yu’s control over his strength was still slightly lacking, some of his strength had been leaking. Great Qin King could sense that his body had reached the level of a middle-degree Eternal.

At the third degree, an Eternal could reach the strength of roughly forty million acupoints. At the fifth degree, one could reach fifty million acupoints.

As for Su Yu, his body felt even stronger than Xia Longwu’s.

Since a majority of Invincibles currently in existence had affirmed their dao through body cultivation, it wasn’t an issue to measure one’s strength with the number of acupoints as the measurement unit.

Apart from control over time, it was likely that regular Invincibles would no longer enjoy much advantage over Su Yu.

“What a terrifying kid.”

At that, Great Qin King looked down at the eight pills in his hand. These were powerful pills. He said nothing and swallowed one. Instantly, a rumble rang out as his vitality surged and his entire body was wrapped in a layer of golden light.

Great Qin King focused and noted that the pill was indeed impressive. He only needed five pills to fully recover the strength of his past body. But the past body had always been weaker than his present and future bodies.

Thus, he would only be at the level of an early ninth-degree Eternal even after full recovery. Then again, there was also an advantage in having only a past body. He looked much younger now.

At that thought, Great Qin King chuckled in amusement. He was in the process of refining the Source Return Blade. After the recovery of his past body and the refinement of the Source Return Blade, he would be able to regain his previous combat strength.

In truth, Great Xia King would be the better owner for the Source Return Blade. However, this was the weapon of an outsider. It would be much better for Great Xia King to walk his own dao.

Once again, Great Qin King looked at Su Yu’s departing back. At times, that kid was surprisingly generous. These treasures were good enough to be kept for generations in a family, yet Su Yu had given them out unhesitatingly.

“Eighth level…”

There were both opportunities and dangers on the eighth level. It was likely that Su Yu had obtained these pills by killing Blood Fire. Thus, he had faced great danger for these pills.

“Don’t worry. I can still last a bit more.”

Great Qin King muttered to himself. Humanity still required a banner to rally under. Su Yu was still insufficient. Thus, he had to take on the role for now. It was still not the time for Su Yu to take the stage.

The human king of each epoch would be faced with countless mysterious dangers. At the very least, Great Qin King had to lure these mysterious dangers out before allowing Su Yu to take the stage.

Boom!
