Tribulation of Myriad Races

Heavendoom gnashed his teeth and flew off to deal with the other Invincibles. The female furball was enough to handle the Dragon Pseudo Emperor. There was no guarantee that the female furball could win, but it also wouldn’t be easy for the Dragon Pseudo Emperor to defeat her. Both were similar in strength, and both were tired from their previous battles.

For a moment, it seemed as though both sides were equally matched. The Daofuses of the dragons, spirits, devils, and nethers were here. Meanwhile, the old turtle, soul devourer, and female furball were the Daofuses fighting on humanity’s side.

Even outside the Celestial Chasm Realm, the two sides were also equally matched with four Daofuses per side. Including the dead Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor, sixteen Daofuses had been dragged into this battle. And seven of them belonged to humanity’s side. It was fair to say that they were quite equally matched.

Sure, humanity had a lower number of Invincibles, but the ancient guardians were powerful enough to close the gap between the two. This would force some of the Daofuses who had been staying idle because they were confident in the myriad races’ victory to join the battle as well.

Su Yu was certain. Because the same thing had happened repeatedly for nine epochs in a row. He wasn’t completely clueless about the past. He knew that each time humanity occupied the upper hand, some old fossils would emerge from hiding and push humanity back.

Su Yu did not bother to wait before doing anything. He flew straight into Grandstar City. The city was quite peaceful as things were still calm under the city. Stepping into the mayor’s residence, Su Yu opened the death tunnel with a wave of his hand.

Below, Xing Yue was still standing guard.

When she saw Su Yu, she said, “All of you are dead. A massive battle has erupted in the Death Realm. Two marquises have crossed the Celestial River of Death to attack He Tu. That old turtle…is at his limits.”

“He cares about He Tu more than you. He might even abandon you for He Tu’s sake. Su Yu, you’re dead.”

Su Yu was quite surprised to hear that. He was also impressed. How incredible. So the old turtle was also fighting two marquises at the same time?

How crazy.

He knew that up in the world of the living, the old turtle was also fighting the Devil Pseudo Emperor and Nether Pseudo Emperor.

He smiled and said, “That’s no big deal. Lord, are you interested in having some fun out here? Maybe you can try killing an Invincible or two…”

“Now?” Xing Yue asked, “Are you letting me leave the tunnel? If you allow me to leave through this tunnel, you will be punished by the heavenly tribulations. Open a new tunnel instead. There won’t be any tribulations as long as I don’t stray too far away…”

Su Yu laughed and said, “No, that’s exactly what I need. I want to be punished. I love tribulations.”

Madman!

Xing Yue cursed inwardly. This was a lunatic!

He clearly had a way of avoiding the tribulations, but he was insisting on receiving them.

Su Yu smiled and said, “Come on. With this tunnel, no other death sovereign can pass before you return. This is a good way to take some pressure off Lord Grandstar. With you out of the tunnel, he can start fighting with his weapon.”

Sure, he could open a new tunnel for Xing Yue, but that would leave this tunnel unattended. Any random death sovereign would be able to go through it at any time.

But each of these city tunnels could only accommodate the departure of one death sovereign at a time. Thus, Xing Yue could prevent any other death sovereigns from abusing her tunnel by leaving through it herself.

This was as decreed by the heavenly laws. Anyone going against this rule would have to face he wrath of the heavens.

Fine. Fine. Xing Yue decided she wouldn’t argue since this guy was courting death himself.

With one step, she walked out of the tunnel. Grandstar, who was busy fighting nearby, looked back and shouted in alarm, “Don’t leave through this tunnel or tribulations will appear!”

What was this?

Had Su Yu forgotten about that?

“Lord, fight with your weapon. Kill them. How dare they provoke the holy cities?”

Looking out at the red lightning that was starting to appear in the sky, Su Yu smiled.

Xing Yue had gone against the heavenly laws.

As the mastermind and a pseudo death spirit converted by Xing Yue, he was allowed to take on the tribulation for her.

Realizing what was happening, Grandstar cursed. Madman!

Fine, fine. He decided to go along with it.

Instantly, the ancient city turned into a weapon before flying into Grandstar’s hand.

With the weapon in his hand, his aura rose sharply.

Boom!

With one swing of his sword, Grandstar sent his opponent, an eighth-degree Eternal, flying. Just moments ago, they were still evenly matched. Seeing what was happening, some nearby Invincibles pulled back before charging toward Grandstar.

As for Xing Yue, she glanced at Su Yu before glancing at the sky with worry. Was he tired of living? Could this guy survive the tribulation? These laws were very harsh against death spirits like her.

Su Yu was uninterested in waiting for the tribulation to come.

His entire body started shaking.

He was going to enter the Mountainsea Realm.

For him, entering the Mountainsea Realm with his physical cultivation was a simple matter. He only needed to fuse his nine acupoints into eight. That would be enough to bring him into the next realm.

He had long been able to enter the next realm. Thus, two of his acupoints fused into one with only a slight push.

Boom!

Golden clouds appeared in the sky.

As someone who had entered the Skysoar Realm with grand cycle acupoints and entered the Cloudbreach Realm with a seventy-two forged body, nobody was more worthy than Su Yu to be rewarded for his advancement to the Mountainsea Realm.

The golden clouds and lightning tribulation finished forming at almost the same time.

With a smile, Su Yu soared into the sky. Today, he had become a dual Mountainsea. Perhaps he would even become a dual Sunmoon before long. As the golden clouds started dropping down, he charged toward the red lightning in the sky. Instead of waiting for the tribulation to arrive, he was attacking the tribulation.

***

“What arrogance!”

Only then did everyone understand what Su Yu was trying to do. He was very confident he could enter the Mountainsea Realm and receive a reward for it at any time. That way, he would be able to force the tribulation and reward to clash against each other.

More importantly, everyone had nearly forgotten his actual cultivation level. After all, he had killed a bunch of Invincibles. Yet he was only advancing his body into the Mountainsea Realm now.

Noticing Su Yu’s approach, the enraged red lightning shot toward him with a rumble. Instantly, Su Yu released multiple of his characters. These were all his newly advanced characters. He was testing them on the tribulation one by one.

He wanted to find the character most compatible with the law running this tribulation. The most compatible character would be used to devour the law powering this tribulation.

After a short moment, he sighed with regret. All of them were incompatible. The lightning character had the highest compatibility, followed by the blood character. So be it. He decided to fight the tribulation with those two.

It wouldn’t matter if they weren’t a match. He could borrow the power of the reward. He was already a veteran at this. After putting all the characters except the two away, he nonchalantly grabbed the shining cloud and tore a chunk off before tossing it at the red lightning.

He was forcing two different powers to clash and neutralize each other. Then, he would feed on them. Through this, his characters would grow stronger.

There were no Eternal human characters, but Su Yu knew that Sunmoon human characters could grow endlessly. Eventually, such a character would transform into a complete law, allowing its master to reach the Great Dao Realm in a single leap.

Rumbling sounds filled the sky.

With intense battles raging all around him, Su Yu was busy facing a heavenly tribulation. The sight of that left Xing Yue quite speechless. Truly a madman. So be it. She decided to fill the time by killing a few Invincibles.

She did not like fighting, but since she had nothing to do here, she might as well kill some people. Before long, she joined the ongoing battle.

As for Zhou Tianyuan and the others, they targeted two of the weaker Invincibles and started fighting as well. The moment Su Yu arrived, Grandstar was allowed to fight at his full strength. Xing Yue had also joined the battle. Including the female furball, the balance of the battle had shifted slightly.

The female furball, in particular, had shifted the balance in humanity’s favor.

***

Outside the Celestial Chasm Realm.

Great Zhou King laughed.

Su Yu had arrived.

He did not know if the change he was waiting for had arrived. But with Su Yu’s appearance, the Human Realm would probably be fine. Not many of their Invincibles had died so far. Things were still well.

With a chuckle, he said, “Looks like our new holy lord will be slaughtering even more enemies. You guys sure are generous. How many times have you thrown lives at him? He has killed nearly a hundred Eternals by now.”

Yes. Su Yu had caused the deaths of too many myriad race Invincibles. The myriad races had lost over fifty Invincibles in the previous conflicts. And today, they had lost over twenty Invincibles. The number was pushing eighty, heading toward one hundred.

Tiangu and the others saw what was happening as well. They said nothing. But at that moment, even more Invincibles emerged from the various major realms and flew toward the Human Realm.

Tiangu watched nonchalantly. Today, some old fossils would emerge. He was certain. The major races had made things clear. Those still wishing to remain neutral now would be the first to suffer after this.

***

At the same time.

The Daofuses who had yet to join the battle didn’t know what to feel about this. They had not seen this coming. It hadn’t even been a thousand years since the start of the tenth epoch yet a war between Daofuses had begun.

Even more surprising was the fact that such a large number of Daofuses had emerged so early. Things had never unfolded at such a rapid pace in the previous nine epochs.

The humans were supposed to be weak this time around…well, from how they were doing, they weren’t really that weak, after all. Nobody had expected the ancient cities, iron devourers, primordials, and spatial beasts to stand on humanity’s side.

Many of the old fossils couldn’t even understand the basis behind their choice. Why would they pick this epoch to stand with the humans? It would be understandable for them to stand with the humans during the previous epoch. But this epoch? Nobody could understand this choice.

***

Right at that moment, Su Yu’s aura surged further.

His advancement into the Mountainsea Realm had been completed. Above him, two shining characters floated. They clashed against the red lightning, constantly absorbing the power of laws to strengthen themselves. As of this moment, Su Yu was a Mountainsea in both physical and willpower cultivation.

Slowly, the lightning tribulation dropped in strength. Noticing that, Su Yu laughed. The tribulation was weaker than expected. He reckoned even Xing Yue could survive this tribulation. Sure enough, a tribulation was not meant to be insurmountable.

He looked around at the various approaching Invincibles and sneered. Today, he would spill so much blood that these people would tremble at the mere mention of him. That was the only way to keep things calm for a while. Only then would these people stay put and wait obediently for the thousand-year limit to arrive.

As he looked around, he caught a glimpse of the Dragon Pseudo Emperor. He noted that the dragon…wasn’t too far away from him.

He also noticed the Spirit Pseudo Emperor fighting the Soul Devourer Pseudo Emperor nearby. Why did that fellow join this battle as well? Why would the spirits involve themselves in this? The two would serve as his current targets. He would decide if he wanted to do more after dealing with them.

As for the Devil Pseudo Emperor, Su Yu did not intend to do anything to him for now. The devil race was too powerful a race. Even after losing the Devil Pseudo Emperor, a new Daofuse would probably emerge promptly to lead the devils.

Numerous thoughts emerged in Su Yu’s mind as he communicated his plan to the book spirit and tea plant.
