Tribulation of Myriad Races

Immortal Realm.

Tiangu looked in the Devil Realm’s direction and frowned. Was that man unwilling to fight? Was he wary of being plotted against after losing a body? Or was he simply unwilling to join this battle?

Tiangu looked in Grand Dream City’s direction. Slowly, his face took form above the city. Then, he said, “Grand Dream, must you drag the holy cities into war for Su Yu? I know that you have always been biased. A hundred thousand years ago, you had played a big role in He Tu’s rise. How do you know that Su Yu won’t be the second He Tu?”

A projection of the old turtle appeared above the city. He looked at Tiangu and said nonchalantly, “I only follow the laws. I will do everything in accordance with the laws, and I don’t care about anything unrelated to my duty. The ancient past is no more. I am a direct subordinate of Devote King. Apart from Devote King, only the Human Emperor can order me around. Tiangu, you have no authority over me.”

Tiangu asked, “Will you act if I try to kill Su Yu?”

“Attacking Su Yu…is not sanctioned by the laws.”

Tiangu’s eyes turned frosty as he asked, “Is he the successor of the Time Sage?”

“I don’t know.”

“Grand Dream! You are making yourself the enemy of the myriad races!”

“Wrong. I am upholding the laws. The laws are the Myriad Realms. I am merely adhering to the ways of the Myriad Realms. As for you lot…you are defying the heavens!”

Grand Dream’s voice resounded loudly, “Tiangu, you lot are the rebels. You are the ones defying the heavens. The holy cities are the ones adhering to the ways of the heavens!”

Tiangu was left speechless. Who was the one defying the heavens?

Perhaps…the old turtle was right. The myriad races were the ones defying the heavens. There was no denying that the human race had conquered the Myriad Races during the ancient past. Thus, the human race was still the orthodox ruler of the Myriad Races. Even the heavenly laws were still operating in accordance to the era of the humans. In a way, killing humans and their young geniuses was the same as going against the will of the heavens.

After a short silence, Tiangu declared, “This heaven…I shall overturn! Grand Dream, you are no human. Why remain stubborn? Do you want your race to remain a servant of the human race forever?”

“I only follow the will of the heavens!”

At this point, there was nothing else Tiangu could say. He vanished with a flicker. Why bother if communication was pointless? He was in no rush to join the battle as that would only drag the old turtle in. It would be completely pointless. In that case, he could only add more combatants to the battlefield. There weren’t a lot of Daofuses among the myriad races, but there were plenty of Invincibles around.

Tiangu started roaming the Myriad Realms. Before long, he stopped before the entrance of a certain realm. He coldly asked, “Is the Shadow King around?”

A short while later, a shadowy person appeared above the entrance. With a slight bow, he greeted, “Greetings, Immortal Emperor Tiangu.”

“Join the battle.”

After a short silence, the Shadow King asked, “If I die…”

“The Shadow Realm will receive the protection of the immortals.” Tiangu offered indifferently, “The protection will last until the emergence of the next Shadow King.”

Hearing that, the Shadow King sighed and turned to look at the Shadow Realm helplessly. Such…was the fate of minor races. Freedom was but a dream for them. The heavens did not belong to the minor races. The heavens belonged to the divines, immortals, devils, dragons, humans, and other powerful races.

“Yes.”

With a bitter expression, the Shadow King vanished. Beneath him, numerous shadow Sunmoons soared into the sky and gazed at the departing figure of their king with worry. Would their king…return from this?

At the same time, countless Tiangus were roaming the Allheaven Battlefield, appearing before one minor realm after another. Similarly, one minor race Invincible after another headed toward the battlefield helplessly.

They had to join the battle.

The immortals, devils, divines, dragons, and nethers had reached an agreement in this matter. Refusing the call to war was the same as offending all these major races. The minor realms might not be too easy to invade, but they would still be completely helpless against the major races.

Tiangu observed everything silently in the sky. He knew that this might trigger disloyalty among these minor race kings, but they wouldn’t dare to resist now. After all, the human race was the public enemy of the myriad races as of this moment. And the human race had yet to gain the ability to resist the myriad races at the same time.

As for the so-called myriad races, this term only applied to the powerful races. The weaker races were all considered vassal races. One Invincible after another was forced to join the battle.

They would not dare to resist before the major races showed signs of weakening. This was enough. After all, nobody knew how many of them would still be around by the end of this epoch. Who would care about what would happen far in the future?

Boom!

The four Invincibles were still attacking Su Yu in present, past, and future. Slowly, Su Yu was finding himself incapable of handling his opponents. He started wondering if this was the moment to open the tunnel.

Suddenly, his eyes widened as he exclaimed in surprise, “Lord Grand Dream?”

An Invincible hurriedly turned around in panic before…cursing in fury. There was nothing behind him!

“You’re courting death!”

Before he could react, Su Yu kicked his River of Time, causing the river to shake uncontrollably. Then, he fully opened his Heaven Gate. With a roar, he threw a punch. Reality collapsed around the fist as it struck the Invincible, blasting the Invincible apart.

Immediately after, waves of death qi started billowing out of Su Yu’s body. The three other Invincibles struck him one after another, but his body was surprisingly tough. They were only able to send him flying by about a kilometer while coughing blood. On the other hand, he had blasted the body of an Invincible apart. He had actually killed a tri-life body of an Invincible while four Invincibles were attacking him.

“What powerful body!”

The Invincibles were greatly shocked. His body was too strong.

The three hurriedly surrounded him again. Moments later, the fourth Invincible returned with a cold expression. However, he no longer dared to approach Su Yu. Rather, he floated nearby and said, “Su Yu, how much longer can you last?”

They could sense some movements. Reinforcements were coming. Quite a lot of helpers were coming. They had truly placed a lot of effort into killing Su Yu here. Naturally, the major races had not dared to send the entirety of their forces out for this as that would be the same as suicide. After all, there were still quite a lot of human Invincibles left at the Eastrift Valley.

That was also why Tiangu had resorted to forcing the minor race Invincibles to fight for them. At the moment, Great Zhou King was waiting near the human-immortal border with dozens of Invincibles. The moment the immortals overextended themselves, the humans would invade.

The divines and devils did not have the courage to send all their forces out either. Or to be precise, nobody dared. This was all thanks to the powerful army of humanity waiting at the border. Just by existing, the remaining human Invincibles were forcing the major races to hold back during the battle.

***

Eastrift Valley.

Great Zhou King was still disguised as Great Qin King, even if Great Qin King had already revealed himself. At the moment, he was staying near the human-immortal border with a large number of Invincibles to keep the immortals in check.

Beside him, an Invincible said, “The immortals have deployed dozens of Eternals and many of them have died. How many Eternals do you think are left in the Immortal Realm?”

Great Zhou King stopped the conversation before it could proceed further, “We’re only here to deter them. Unless Tiangu leaves with more than twenty immortal kings, we can only stay here.”

That caused the expressions of several Invincibles to change.

The immortals had deployed nearly twenty immortal kings this time. They had also lost some. All in all, more than thirty immortal kings were away from the Immortal Realm. But Great Zhou King was saying that they could only attempt an attack after the departure of Tiangu and twenty more immortal kings.

Did that not mean that there were over a hundred Invincibles in the immortal race? The human Invincibles were greatly shaken. Were there really so many of them? Back when Great Qin King attacked the Immortal Realm, only a few human Invincibles had joined him. Just what did they witness in the Immortal Realm for them to be so wary?

Great Zhou King said nothing else. After a long while, he solemnly said, “Just follow my order. We are here to deter the various parties, preventing them from deploying too many Eternals.”

An Invincible said, “But now…Su Yu…”

Great Zhou King looked at the Invincible and asked, “What are you trying to say?”

The Invincible frowned and said, “I mean…we don’t know how Su Yu is doing. Should we…go there and find a chance…”

“A chance for what?”

Great Zhou King asked, “A chance to get the nine-leaf skylotus from Su Yu? So that you can achieve Daofuse?”

Great Zhou King’s eyes turned cold as he continued, “Do you think that’s possible?”

The Invincible sank into silence. After a short moment, he said, “I don’t mean anything bad. But with a Daofuse among us, we can at least fight better in the event of war. We can also help Su Yu better with more strength. It’s not like he can put the skylotus to use with his current cultivation.”

Great Zhou King said, “Enough. Do you think Su Yu will agree? Even if he were to agree, how long would it take for one to achieve Daofuse?”

“I…”

“This ends here.” Great Zhou King said, “There are things you shouldn’t mention or even think about.”

Everyone sank into silence. Nobody else said anything. They started waiting silently.

Boom!

Splurt!

After coughing a mouthful of blood, Su Yu grinned and said, “Amazing. Invincibles are indeed Invincibles. Out of a hundred punches I sent, only five struck. You guys are incredible.”

The four Invincibles appeared indifferent, but they were greatly shaken inwardly.

Su Yu’s defensive prowess was too strong. During the battle, they had landed many hits on Su Yu while Su Yu had not been able to land too many hits on them. However, each hit he landed would deal them a big blow.

Su Yu’s Heaven Gate could not remain open for long. Thus, he would only open it occasionally. But each time a hit landed with the Heaven Gate open, a tri-life body would be destroyed.

Up until now, two of them had lost a tri-life body each while the other two had sustained some injuries as well. This did not make any sense!

Su Yu was too strong. Instead of attacking head-on, they had switched to circling him while waiting for the arrival of their reinforcements.

Suddenly, a loud rumble rang out.

Crimson clouds covered the sky.

Countless experts looked over and saw Great Qin King using a saber as a spear and obliterating an Invincible. An Invincible had been killed. At this point, Great Qin King could no longer keep his identity hidden. Thus, he returned to his actual expression. The sight of that shocked numerous people.

Great Qin King!

After killing an enemy with the saber, Great Qin King paused to gasp for breath. That Source Return Blade…was truly powerful. With Great Xia King keeping the Six-winged Divine King busy, Great Qin King was able to kill the fifth-degree Eternal facing them.

With his real appearance exposed, the Invincibles in front of him started stepping back in fear.

Fifth.

That was the fifth Invincible to die that day.
