Tribulation of Myriad Races

Meanwhile, Su Yu was roaming around randomly behind Xing Yue.

As she walked, Xing Yue said, “He Tu might be dead. I think we should return to my kingdom.”

“No. I need to look for that place.”

“Hmph!”

Xing Yue snorted unhappily. She did not feel like doing that. The Death Realm was so big. How were they supposed to find that place? But without that place, Su Yu would continue absorbing her death qi. That would be annoying as well. She could only hope that He Tu wasn’t dead.

Su Yu said nothing else and continued following Xing Yue around. Their surroundings were bleak and empty. He felt as though he was taking a stroll in the cemetery with the repressive atmosphere in the Death Realm.

He had not encountered even one death spirit after entering the Death Realm. According to Xing Yue, the Death Realm should be filled with mindless death spirits.

These were the weaker death spirits. Some had awakened from the Celestial River of Death while some had taken form automatically in the Death Realm. As for the true experts, most were still in slumber, awaiting for the right moment to awaken.

The immediate area near the death tunnel was completely empty. Perhaps all of them had been killed by Old Zhou earlier. It would take some time for the mindless death spirits of other regions to roam over and fill the place again.

The more Su Yu explored, the more gloomy he felt. The place was massive, but it was devoid of everything. He suspected that boredom alone would be enough to kill him if he were to explore this place alone.

Suddenly, his heart thumped.

At the same time, Xing Yue looked in a certain direction. Moments later, a death spirit appeared from afar. With a smile, He Tu said, “Xing Yue, it’s really you!”

He then looked at the death spirit behind her doubtfully. Who was that? He Tu was the self-proclaimed sage of the Death Realm. He had great confidence in his intelligence. He sank into thought, wondering if that was Su Yu.

Su Yu seemed to have the ability to transform into death spirits, right? He Tu knew the reversal method as well, but he was unsure since his memories were no longer complete.

Su Yu was overjoyed to see He Tu. Excellent! He had been worried that He Tu was dead. Without He Tu, how was he supposed to find the mansion entrances in the Death Realm?

He did not bother to hide anything. Rather, he sent a voice transmission, “Lord He Tu!”

“…”

He Tu blanked out slightly. It was really that guy. What a brazen guy. Entering the Death Realm as a living being? Was he tired of living?

He turned to look at Tuofa and the others before replying with a voice transmission, “Wait. I’ll deal with them first.”

Su Yu was most likely here for him. He Tu couldn’t be bothered to ask too much now. He had to handle Tuofa and the others first.

When Tuofa saw Xing Yue, he asked, “Xing Yue, how are things over there?”

“The Source Return Blade is gone.”

“So is everything safe now?”

Tuofa grew excited.

He looked at Su Yu and continued, “Who is this?”

“My new subordinate. I converted him in the Luminous Domain Mansion earlier.”

Tuofa was displeased to hear that. He said, “This is our territory.”

How could she convert a new subordinate in their territory without permission?

Xing Yue replied indifferently, “There are quite a lot of survivors in there, including Great Qin King. You are free to try them.”

Tuofa was left speechless. Bullshit. He was definitely not going to try that. Even if Great Qin King was already heavily injured, that was not an existence he wanted to provoke.

Tuofa couldn’t be bothered to waste too much time on Xing Yue. He looked at He Tu and said, “He Tu, since our territory is safe again, we won’t be going to your place. The Source Return Blade is gone. From now onward, the Luminous Domain Mansion will be our playground. You are free to visit when you feel like it.”

If he could have his own territory, why should he join He Tu’s territory?

He Tu cursed inwardly and glared at Xing Yue. Couldn’t she lie to them or something? She should have told them that it was still very dangerous there.

Just then, Su Yu sent Xing Yue a voice transmission, “Lord, these three are quite weak. Why don’t we join hands with He Tu and kill them all?”

Could he gain more benefits from killing them? No matter what, they were Invincibles. Xing Yue decided to ignore Su Yu. How barbaric. Was killing the only thing he knew? Cultured death sovereigns like them would not spend all their time killing.

She ignored Su Yu and said, “Some other danger might remain in the mansion. Think properly before entering again.”

She did not want to waste too much time on them. After giving them a reminder, she looked at He Tu and said, “I have something to discuss with you. Are you returning to Grand Dream City?”

The territory beneath Grand Dream City wasn’t too far from her territory. She would need to head over there to return home anyway.

Seeing that he could no longer fool Tuofa and the others into becoming his thugs, He Tu gave up and said, “Sure. It has been a while since I last went back. It’s time for me to return. I can’t let the old turtle enjoy himself too much.”

He cupped his fists at Tuofa and the others before saying, “Congratulations. The Luminous Domain Mansion is a territory of the living. It won’t be long before you can expand your territory to the world of the living.”

Tuofa smiled, “Yes. Don’t worry. You can visit us as a guest when we’re done with our conquest.”

Guest his ass!

After cursing inwardly, He Tu looked at Xing Yue and said, “We’ll be taking our leave now. I’ll look for you again when I find other good opportunities in the future.”

At this point, Tuofa and the others had completely lost interest on He Tu. They all rushed back to the death tunnel impatiently.

When Tuofa and the others were gone, He Tu asked, “Xing Yue! You ruined my plan!”

Xing Yue didn’t deign to say anything.

With a smile, Su Yu said, “Greetings, Lord He Tu.”

He Tu said, “You sure are brazen.”

“I learned this from you, Lord.” Su Yu said, “You were quite brazen when you were alive as well.”

He Tu smiled, but he hurriedly schooled his face back to calm and said, “Are you not afraid that I will leak your presence to the other death sovereigns? That will guarantee your death. There are countless death sovereigns here. The moment you leak your aura of the living, the heavenly laws will transfer countless death sovereigns over to deal with you.”

“You won’t do so.”

“Heh.” He Tu sneered and looked at Su Yu before looking at Xing Yue. He said, “Xing Yue, how dare you collude with a living being? When the heavenly laws discover this, you will die.”

Xing Yue shot back coldly, “Mind your own business, He Tu.”

Su Yu did not want to waste more time. He went straight to the point, “Lord He Tu, can you take us to the entrances you used to enter the mansion? I believe they are still around even now.”

He Tu asked, “What? Didn’t Xing Yue say that she knew that place?”

Su Yu smiled, “You jest, Lord. How can we know about that place?”

In that case, how did they know so much about it?

He Tu refused, “Dream on. That is the sole exit from the Death Realm. That is the only place death spirits can enter the world of the living without being subjected to the restrictions of the heavenly laws.”

That place was too valuable. How could he tell Su Yu about it?

Su Yu wasn’t surprised to hear that. He said, “Lord, when you become a living being again, all the heavenly laws will mean nothing.”

He Tu said, “Do you think that it’s easy to bring a death spirit back to life? Back then, I knew the reversal method as well. I even attempted it on a death sovereign. Back then, I believed that I would succeed when my reversal speed was faster than the speed of my target’s death qi production. But reality proved that I was wrong. I failed. Halfway through the conversion, the life force and death qi clashed, blasting my target apart.”

In short, it wouldn’t be an easy task.

He continued, “There are more difficulties to overcome. For example, you need to establish a death qi connection with the one you’re converting. You currently have a connection with Xing Yue, so she is the only person you can convert right now. Or perhaps you need to sever your connection with her first before trying on someone else. Furthermore, you’re still too weak to do so…”

Boom!

He had barely finished speaking when Su Yu threw a punch at him. The air trembled. That was a punch Su Yu had thrown with all his strength excluding the yang acupoint. He Tu’s eyes flickered as he received the punch and was pushed several steps back.

Su Yu smiled, “Lord, I’m not too weak, right?”

He Tu looked surprised. It hadn’t even been that long. How did this guy grow so strong?

Su Yu said, “Lord, I believe in the speed of my growth. I’m still too weak now, but it won’t be long before I’m strong enough to try. Also, are you intending to wait ten years before using the entrances to the mansion again? I reckon you don’t know the mansion well, but I know it better. I have a way of activating it in advance.”

He Tu asked with surprise, “You can open it freely?”

“Yes.”

He Tu sank into thought.

Su Yu asked, “Lord, where is the death sovereign called Dummy?”

“Are you looking for him?”

“I’m only curious. I believe he used to be a human. He might even be a human from this epoch. I’m curious. Can a human really grow so strong in this epoch?”

He Tu was curious as well. He said, “True. It hasn’t been long since the start of this epoch. Since that guy knows Great Qin King, he must have been a living being of this epoch. If he’s so strong even after becoming a death spirit, he must have been a ninth-degree Eternal prior to his death. Or perhaps he was so talented that he had grown massively during his time in the Celestial River of Death.”

He Tu explained, “He returned with me, but he lost his mind after consuming the life death fruit. His living and dead memories were clashing against each other. He won’t be of much help even if you do find him. I suspect he has returned to the place he first awakened.”

That was how things were for death spirits. After regaining some of his memories, Dummy was no longer so easy to manipulate.

“You might find him at the place he had awakened.”

He Tu said, “Since you wish to see the entrances I used to enter the mansion, tell me about that place.”

Su Yu gave it some thought and explained, “I’ll be honest. I suspect those are probably the special entrances of the mansion corresponding to the special entrances in the world of the living. There are probably 360 stars or doors there. Those are the locations of the 360 apertures.”

He continued, “The Luminous Domain Mansion might be forged of a living human. Do you know that, Lord? That living human is terrifyingly strong. That might be someone who has opened 360 acupoints and 360 apertures. The entrances to the mansion are essentially his acupoints and apertures.”

He Tu blanked out. He had no idea. Sure, he had his suspicions, but he was never sure.

He thought about it and said, “I never heard of this before my death.”

He was a descendant of the Devote King. If this was unknown to even him, then this was most likely something few knew about.

He continued, “In fact, I wasn’t even aware of the entrances in the Death Realm. Nobody has ever spoken of them.”

This information was enough to pique the curiosity of even someone dead like him.

“Was the face you summoned previously the same super expert?”

“Yes.”

He Tu said, “If that person is still alive…he must be terrifyingly strong. When his face appeared, I had thought that it was the Human Emperor…”
