Tribulation of Myriad Races

Not enough Invincibles had died. Thus, the Celestial Chasm Realm still looked normal from the outside thanks to its sealed state. However, some signs were already starting to appear in the Human Realm.

Su Yu managed to hide it, but the Invincibles and top experts could all feel that something was off. People like Liu Wushen, Qin Zhen, and the others were starting to feel uneasy despite not knowing what it was.

All of them focused on Su Yu, who was looking as calm as ever. Did something happen? Did something happen to Great Yue King?

Su Yu ignored them. Instead, he approached the fake Su Long seated somewhere below and smiled. After producing a glass of liquor in his hand, he said, “Father, please accept a toast from me.”

Some calmed down upon seeing him toasting his father. They were glad to see that he was not going mad They had been worried that his madness would persist and he would escalate things. In fact, some even regretted coming. It felt so dangerous to be in his presence.

Su Yu maintained a calm expression. He knew that the only thing he could do to help was to keep things stable in the Human Realm. Great Qin King and the others were not around. A true disaster would be upon them if a large number of experts decided to attack them right now and shatter their realm barrier.

No, not even that was required. They only needed to focus on slaughtering the normal humans and the remaining human Invincibles wouldn’t be able to do much to stop them. Normally, the myriad races would not dare to do something like that. But since humanity had triggered the war, the myriad races wouldn’t care anymore.

While toasting his father, Su Yu took the chance to sink into thought.

With the female furball around, he did not fear the attacks of those below the Daofuse Realm. The appearance of Daofuses was what he feared most.

If the myriad races were able to break through the defenses of humanity, Great Qin King and the others would be forced to abandon their mission and return. Such a good chance to eliminate the celestial chasms would never reappear.

It was unlikely that the myriad races would join the battle inside the Celestial Chasm Realm. They would be subjected to the suppressive force there. Thus, it wasn’t wise for them to fight humanity there. Instead, they could attack the Human Realm and force the attacking humans to return.

Su Yu knew that. Great Qin King and the others knew that as well. That was why Great Xia King and Great Ming King were left behind. They were here as insurance. Su Yu was probably only one of the many trump cards they had prepared for humanity.

Or to be precise, they were confident that Su Yu would defend humanity with the ancient guardians when things became serious enough. He was the only person capable of bringing so much help to humanity.

“So things should still be quite safe with Heavendoom and the others around. The myriad races wouldn’t be too rash with them there.”

Just then, the air around him rippled.

Hu Xiansheng appeared.

He had a look of overwhelming shock in his eyes as he looked at Su Yu before looking at Great Xia King and Great Ming King. He couldn’t hide the shock on his face.

Su Yu’s heart thumped.

This wasn’t good!

With a sharp gaze, Great Ming King roared, “Hu Xiansheng, you dare? Where were you? How dare you approach uninvited and offend the holy lord?”

At that, Hu Xiansheng forcefully calmed down and hurriedly said, “No, not at all. It’s a misunderstanding!”

Su Yu calmed his nerves as well and smiled. “Faculty Head, you really need to stop teleporting everywhere just because you’re good at spatial manipulation. I don’t mind it, but be careful lest you encounter a powerful enemy by accident and end up trapped somewhere.”

“Yes, yes, you’re right!”

Hu Xiansheng smiled as he agreed. With the same smile on his face, he sent Su Yu a voice transmission with boundless shock in his voice, “Something happened! This is bad! The other side of the door! Invincibles! There are Invincibles there!”

Su Yu’s heart thumped.

Invincibles.

Inside the hidden ruin.

It was extremely difficult for Invincibles to enter the Human Realm undetected. After all, Great Qin King and the others had been on the watch nonstop for countless years. Not even the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion dared to rashly enter the Human Realm despite knowing the location of a secret entrance. They didn’t mind sending Sunmoons through, but they wouldn’t risk their Invincibles. After all, the Invincible would never survive upon being discovered.

And now, Hu Xiansheng was saying that there were hidden enemy Invincibles in the Human Realm.

After forcing himself to remain calm, Su Yu smiled and said verbally, “So be it. I’m in a good mood today so I’ll overlook this.”

But at the same time, he sent a voice transmission, “Where? How strong are they? How many of them?”

“Somewhere inside Great Shang, deep under the Heavensplit Mountain. I don’t know their exact strength, but I’m sure there is at least one Invincible there. I don’t know their numbers either. I only traced the spatial undulations of the door and tracked it all the way there before sensing some unique undulations of a ruin. I understood that these hidden experts might be immortals, so I investigated carefully. However, the spatial ripples I sent over were instantly destroyed. Only an Invincible can do that. Sunmoons wouldn’t have been able to detect anything. I don’t know if I was discovered as well, but I know that there must be at least one Invincible there.”

Hu Xiansheng had fled right after his spatial ripples were destroyed. He had to return and inform Su Yu about what he found. Something was wrong. Something was very wrong. Unknown Invincibles were hiding inside the Human Realm. What was the easiest way to break the defenses of a well-defended fort? By attacking from the inside.

“Unknown strength and unknown numbers…”

Su Yu’s eyes flickered. When did they enter the Human Realm? It was unlikely for them to have entered recently. Perhaps they had entered during the founding.

Immortals?

Were they really so patient?

Why did they act after so long? Perhaps the time for them to attack was already near. That was why they didn’t mind ending their inactivity to make some money since they were going to attack soon anyway. Otherwise, a few carrier treasures wouldn’t have been worthy of risking exposure after remaining in hiding for so long.

Su Yu had been somewhat confident he could deal with the threat coming externally. But now, he had discovered that there was a threat internally as well. Would these hidden experts make a move? There would definitely be more than one of them. So what would they do now?

They had been silent for over four hundred years. Had the time for them to act arrived? It was hard to say.

If these hidden experts remained hidden, he could deal with them in isolation. But what if the myriad races decided that it was time for these hidden experts to act? Were the immortals the only ones hiding in the Human Realm? What about the divines and devils?

Su Yu did not have the answer for that. He could only prepare for the worst. He did not know their strength. He did not know their numbers. He only knew that there were Invincibles among them. And that made these hidden experts extremely dangerous.

Su Yu patted Hu Xiansheng’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Calm down, Faculty Head. Go grab a drink. I’m not blaming you. Why are you being so nervous here?”

Hu Xiansheng laughed dryly, but he said nothing. Before long, he sent several voice transmissions to Great Ming King and Great Xia King. The eyes of the two Invincibles flickered, but their expressions remained the same.

Next, Great Xia King sent Su Yu a voice transmission, “Hidden ruin and hidden Eternals. Su Yu, this might be a big crisis.”

Great Ming King sent a voice transmission as well, “When the attack on the celestial chasm race is exposed, the myriad races might activate these hidden experts. I’ll check the place with Old Xia. If we find something, we will make the first move!”

Su Yu considered the matter and said, “No. The two of you need to guard the borders and our realm entrances. We have numerous soldiers here. There are millions upon millions of lives there. I might be the holy lord, but they won’t obey me. You know this. Humanity will not obey me. We can’t defend our borders without you. I’ll tell the guardians to help when needed.”

Great Ming King and Great Xia King looked at each other. What about the enemies hidden inside the Human Realm?

Su Yu continued, “Don’t worry about the hidden experts. I’ll handle this. Just leave Zhou Tianyuan and the others behind. They won’t be of much help out there anyway. They can help with the internal defense.”

Great Ming King and Great Xia King must be present at the Allheaven Battlefield.

That was the only way to keep things calm among the various human armies.

Su Yu still didn’t know the situation outside the Human Realm. He was unsure of Great Zhou King had left some Invincibles defending the borders. He was worried that things would fall apart without Great Ming King and Great Xia King there.

The two Invincibles did not argue even if they were still very worried.

Su Yu sent a voice transmission to Hu Xiansheng, “Make a new door. Immediately.”

“What?”

“Make a door connected to the same place as the door I gave you.”

“Sure.”

Hu Xiansheng was alarmed. Was Su Yu going to attack first? But they lacked information about the situation on the other side of the door. It was too dangerous to go just like this. Su Yu said nothing else. He was confident because he had the female furball with him.

The absence of Great Zhou King wouldn’t be hidden for real. He had to remove these hidden experts before the myriad races decide to activate them.

While sipping liquor, Su Yu made up his mind. Abruptly, he smashed the glass onto the ground and furiously roared, “Great Ming King! Great Xia King!”

The two Invincibles looked at him. All around them, the various experts looked at Su Yu in astonishment. What was it this time?

Su Yu said, “This liquor is terrible. It’s not worthy of being served to my father. It is not good enough for me. Go to the Allheaven Battlefield and get the Heavenly Fragrance Liquor from Heavendoom.”

Some people frowned upon hearing that. The Great Song prefect suggested, “Holy Lord, perhaps we can send a message to the Allheaven Prefecture and have a messenger sent from there. There is no need to trouble the two majesties for this…”

Su Yu snorted coldly and said, “You talk too much. How can ordinary cultivators move as fast as the two majesties? I’m very curious. Are the two majesties really willing to heed my order?”

Great Xia King frowned, but Great Ming King smiled and said, “This is no big deal. Since humanity has selected you as the leader…Old Xia, let’s go. Old Zhou is here. There is nothing for us to worry about.”

He smiled at the fake Great Zhou King beside him and said, “We’ll be back shortly. Old Zhou, keep watch here. Don’t let anyone try something stupid.”

The fake Great Zhou King nodded and said, “I’m here. Don’t worry.”

With a chuckle, Great Ming King dragged the furious Great Xia King off, “Come on. We can meet Old Qin and update him on the way. The holy lord is still very young…”

When Su Yu’s gaze landed on him, Great Ming King laughed dryly and continued, “Young and promising. Let’s go, Old Xia.”

Great Xia King flicked his sleeves in a displeased manner before vanishing alongside Great Ming King.

As the two vanished, Great Ming King’s voice rang out, “We’ll be back soon. Enjoy the feast, everyone. Eat! Drink! Have fun!”

Before long, the two were gone. As for the experts from the thirty-six prefectures, some were frowning while some had odd expressions. How were the two so obedient? But wasn’t Su Yu being a tad bit too full of himself here? Some looked at Great Han King and Great Zhou King, wondering about their silence.

Meanwhile, Great Zhou King and the others remained smiling, as though nothing had happened. Noticing that, the others could only stay silent. They felt very helpless about this. What could they do if not even the Invincibles were saying anything?
