Tribulation of Myriad Races

Among the myriad race guests.

Mo Duona was frowning as he stared at Great Zhou King and the others before looking at Su Yu. Finally, he looked at those from Great Yue. At the moment, the Great Yue prefect was sitting there silently with his head lowered, as though he was trying to hide into the ground.

But since the prefect was hiding his face, Mo Duona couldn’t see anything unusual about the prefect. After thinking about it, Mo Duona looked at Topsoil Spirit. At the moment, Topsoil Spirit’s eyes were flickering.

He could sense the atmosphere slowly turning stern.

And it was growing in intensity.

Su Yu was a tad bit too overbearing today. He was also a tad bit too rude toward the founding kings. He had always been overbearing, but he was not the type to act so disrespectfully. Had he gotten too full of himself after becoming the holy lord?

It was hard to say.

However, Great Xia King and Great Ming King were among his strongest supporters. Yet he had still been so rude toward the two.

Topsoil Spirit sank into deep thought.

Did something happen?

What was it?

The biggest matter to happen today should be Su Yu’s crowning, right? Everyone should be paying attention to this event. Who would do something today?

Meanwhile, Hu Xiansheng was looking for a suitable place to build a new teleportation door.

But suddenly, Su Yu said, “Faculty Head Hu, you have been known for your ability to build teleportation doors. But when I was studying in Great Ming, that door of yours was pretty useless. Since you’re here, why don’t you build a door for the occasion. Build a door I can use to go everywhere.”

Hu Xiansheng said, “Uhm…I don’t think I can…”

Su Yu said, “Great Ming has wasted so many resources to support your research. Show me your results. If you do well, I might support you more. Otherwise…I might need to cut you down if you continue wasting money in the future. I still remember how you sold even the faculty to pay for your research back then. Come on, Faculty Head. Play along now.”

Those words offended even more people in the crowd. He was clearly picking a fight with a nonsensical excuse.

Hu Xiansheng had arrived late to the celebration. Hu Xiansheng had even teleported straight to the square instead of walking through the main entrance. That must have angered Su Yu. Thus, he had used a random excuse to send Great Ming King away before dealing with Hu Xiansheng.

Some of the people there knew that Hu Xiansheng had helped Su Yu massively in the past. How could he be so ungrateful? In fact, Hu Xiansheng had even helped when Su Yu was forging his Mark of Civilization. Back when he was still in Great Ming, Hu Xiansheng had also fought for him. Had he forgotten all his past favors?

If he could treat Hu Xiansheng this way, how would he treat those who were complete strangers to him? He was too harsh!

Many gazes landed on Zhu Tiandao. The smile on Zhu Tiandao’s face slowly faded as he said, “Su…Holy Lord Su. Everyone is still eating and drinking here. Perhaps…we should postpone this to another time?”

“No. I want it done now.” Su Yu said, “A teleportation skill is very valuable. If Faculty Head Hu succeeds, I’ll reward him with a carrier treasure. If he fails…remove his research center from Great Ming and stop wasting all those resources.”

With a helpless expression, Zhu Tiandao looked at Hu Xiansheng and said, “Just do it. Build a door for the holy lord.”

“But the research is incomplete!”

Hu Xiansheng tried to protest, but noticing Zhu Tiandao’s gaze on him, he gloomily agreed, “Fine. I’ll give it a try.”

He added, “The research is incomplete so the spatial pressure will be quite heavy. The range also won’t be too big. Someone whose body is too weak can very easily die in the process.”

As he explained, he took out a bunch of materials and started constructing a door. Even the teleportation door he received from Su Yu was taken out after some modifications. It was left floating in the air as he continued his work.

Everyone was so engrossed with his work that they stopped paying attention to Su Yu.

Hu Xiansheng was quite famous for his teleportation doors. Everyone still remembered how Niu Baidao had used Hu Xiansheng’s teleportation door to instantly kill a Pseudo Invincible. But that door had exploded after one usage. Would the same happen today? At the time, a Sunmoon had been killed by the explosion.

As Hu Xiansheng worked, the space around him started warping.

While working, Hu Xiansheng sent Su Yu a voice transmission, “Be very careful if you intend to use this door yourself. Someone must be keeping watch on the other side. And that someone will not be a weakling. Your body will be subjected to a huge pressure during the teleportation. Give me a little bit of time. I’ll try to stabilize the spatial tunnel more.”

He knew what Su Yu wanted to do. That was why he had been so hesitant. He was worried that something might happen to Su Yu.

But Su Yu ignored the warning. Instead, he looked at Junior Zhou King and the others who were deep in thought. Finally, his gaze landed on Great Yuan King. At present, he was the strongest expert in the area even when he was left with only one body.

He was the sole late-degree Eternal present.

After some thought, Su Yu sent Great Yuan King a voice transmission, “Can…I trust you?”

With flickering eyes, Great Yuan King replied, “I am a founding king! Don’t forget that, Su Yu! The millions upon millions of lives in Great Yuan are under my protection! I don’t like you. You do not have the temperament to serve as a good leader. However…I won’t go against the others since they have decided upon you. Brother Yue has died. If you need anything from me, tell me. That is my brother. I won’t let his death slide.”

Su Yu gave Great Yuan King a deep gaze before sending another voice transmission, “Things might grow troublesome soon. There is a buried danger within the Human Realm. Some enemy Invincibles might be hiding in some undiscovered ruins. I only found one, but I’m unsure if there are more. When more trouble appears, do something! I don’t know their strength. I don’t know their numbers. If the numbers are low, it won’t be an issue. If the numbers are high, I’ll need your help. At the very least, you need to keep them busy. The east is yours.”

Great Yuan King’s eyes turned cold as he replied through voice transmission, “Understood.”

Su Yu said nothing else. He looked at Junior Zhou King, thought about it, and sent a voice transmission, “Zhou Tianyuan, you will be watching over the south with Heavenly Forge King. When trouble appears, handle it with Heavenly Forge King.”

He did not give further explanations.

Junior Zhou King glanced at Su Yu and nodded slightly.

“Liu Wushen!”

Liu Wushen’s heart thumped as he looked at Su Yu. A voice transmission arrived, “Don’t ask. Don’t talk. You’re a smart guy. Take Qin Zhen and Zhou Potian with you. The west is yours to guard. When enemies appear, aim to keep them busy if you can’t kill them.”

Liu Wushen replied, “I understand.”

Arrangements had been made for three directions. Two Invincibles were left without arrangements.

Niu Baidao and Yun Chen.

Both were new Invincibles, but both were decently strong. Su Yu looked at Niu Baidao and sent a voice transmission, “Principal Niu, take Senior Yun, Prefect Zhu, and Marquis Xia. Keep an eye on the north. When enemies appear, aim to at least keep the enemies occupied. It’s fine if you can’t kill them.”

Niu Baidao nodded.

These were the eight human Invincibles remaining in the Human Realm. Su Yu knew nothing about the hidden enemies. He didn’t know if they would appear. But they had to take precautions. Thus, he had deployed them all, including the more powerful Pseudo Invincibles such as Zhu Tiandao and Marquis Xia.

As for Su Yu himself, he would remain on standby and eliminate the stronger enemies. He could only hope that there wouldn’t be too many of them.

Naturally, it would be even better if these hidden enemies remained in hiding. He could always deal with them progressively in the future. Sure, it would be annoying to search the Human Realm for them, but even that would be much easier than dealing with all of them when so many human experts were absent.

Slowly, the atmosphere turned solemn. None of the Invincibles said anything.

Meanwhile, Great Zhou King and the others continued standing there with their smiles, causing those around them to feel uncomfortable. As for Su Yu, he sipped his liquor in silence, seemingly in wait for something.

***

“Kill!”

Great Qin King’s roar reverberated throughout the Celestial Chasm Realm.

Somewhere behind him, numerous explosions erupted as the old Invincible injured by Great Yue King detonated himself while being attacked by multiple human Invincibles.

Boom!

The entire Celestial Chasm Realm was shaking.

Splurt!

Silk Destroying King coughed a mouthful of blood. Further above, Great Han King roared and desperately tried to block the phenomenon from leaking out of the Celestial Chasm Realm.

That was a ninth-degree Eternal.

The death of such an expert would create a massive phenomenon across the Myriad Realms.

That had been the case for Blood Fire and Wisdom King.

Thus, it was extremely difficult to stop the phenomenon of his death from leaking.

After pushing the bloodied Great Qin King back with yet another ruler strike, the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor roared, “Those under the Eternal Realm, charge out of the realm! Charge out and seek help! Now!”

At that, hundreds of Sunmoons charged toward the realm entrance.

Heavenly Seal King was the one watching over the realm entrance. Waiting in the middle of a formation, he activated his formation the moment he saw the approaching Sunmoons. Almost immediately, a Sunmoon died.

Just then, Great Zhou King’s cold voice rang out, “Do not allow anyone to escape. Heavenly Seal, you have humanity’s fate in your hands. Try to last at least half an hour.”

Heavenly Seal King replied, “Yes.”

He continued attacking the Sunmoons throwing themselves at him. No, he was dealing with more than just Sunmoons. Even Mountainseas were throwing themselves at him suicidally.

They were desperate to leave.

They had to save their home.

This was a fight for the survival of their race.

Finally, the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor roared, “Open the realm barrier!”

At the same time, at the extreme end of the world. A hidden Invincible coughed a mouthful of blood, dying the entire realm barrier red. The realm barrier was slightly transparent. Countless death spirits could be seen on the other side.

Seemingly having smelled something desirable, the death spirits stirred. Abruptly, a Sunmoon death spirit approached the realm barrier. That path was supposed to be impassable. But somehow, the death spirit was able to walk right through.

In fact, that was so surprising even the death spirit blanked out upon walking through it. As a Sunmoon death spirit, he only had a low level of intelligence. Upon sensing the presence of so many living beings, he was instantly driven mad.

Death qi started rippling out of his body.

The expression of the hidden Invincible changed slightly, but he gnashed his teeth and continued chanting. More and more death spirits crossed the realm barrier.

“Unleash slaughter.”

For some reason, all the death spirits avoided the hidden Invincible and charged ahead instead.
