Tribulation of Myriad Races

Two Daofuses had perished in the Death Realm.

However, nothing changed in the world of the living. Apart from the old turtle, whose expression had changed slightly, nobody noticed anything.

The old turtle continued fighting the Devil Pseudo Emperor and Nether Pseudo Emperor without a change in his combat strength. He was acting as though he was still busy suppressing the chaos in the Death Realm.

In truth, the two immortal marquises were already out of the picture. The myriad races had prepared surprisingly well for this battle.

Four death spirit marquises had been deployed to deal with him. If Marquis Lanshan had not emerged from seclusion, and if the book spirit and tea plant had not arrived, the old turtle might really abandon the battle out here to focus on the Death Realm.

With his departure, the other guardians might do the same. After all, watching over the Death Realm was their true duty. Fortunately, that was not how things had unfolded.

Out of the four marquises, two were gone. As for the two survivors, they were forced to flee in fear. The only experts remaining in the old turtle’s territory were those friendly toward humanity.

It appeared as though the myriad races still held the upper hand. But that was no longer the case.

At this time, the thirty additional Invincibles of myriad races finally arrived. Their arrival spelled further trouble for humanity.

Just then, Su Yu’s heart thumped.

Suddenly, he roared, “Guardians, use your weapons! I shall suppress the Death Realm for you!”

Instantly, the amount of death qi in his body surged to extreme levels. Even his surroundings were starting to rot from the sheer amount of death qi his body was emitting. It was as though he was telling everyone that he would put all his focus on taking on the burden of the ancient guardians. Apart from that, he wouldn’t be doing anything else.

This was what Heavendoom had been waiting for. He roared in excitement, “Finally!”

Hum!

A gigantic staff appeared in his hand.

“You! Die!”

The expression of the ninth-degree Eternal facing Heavendoom changed drastically.

Damn it! Not this again!

Boom!

As the staff swept forth, it felt as though the very heavens were collapsing.

With his great staff in hand, Heavendoom’s combat prowess reached a terrifying level. Back then, he had defeated Bountiful Treasure, blasted Jade King’s tri-life body apart, and battled three ancient immortal kings alone. He had done all that with his great staff.

Sure, he could still fight ninth-degree Eternals without his staff, but it was undeniable that he was much stronger with it. With the staff, he could unleash a terrifying level of combat strength even without removing his petrification.

“Grandson, who do you think you are?”

Heavendoom was in a rather annoyed mood. He had fought a lot recently, but he hadn’t killed too many of his opponents. It was too annoying. His annoyance had been further boosted by the beating he had received from the Dragon Pseudo Emperor earlier.

Thus, he did not hesitate to grow massively before swinging his staff around madly. He was fighting so hard that an indistinct dao started appearing around him.

Boom!

His opponent attempted to flee by ripping space apart, but that attempt ended with failure as space itself had been shattered. Furthermore, Heavendoom’s staff had a light suppression effect as well.

The suppression effect was important in ensuring the accuracy of Heavendoom’s staff strikes. His staff strikes weren’t easy to evade.

Boom!

With another rumble, the ninth-degree Eternal was sent flying while coughing blood. Noticing his crumbling body, he paled and wailed, “Help me!”

Everything had happened so fast. The newly arrived Invincibles had yet to even join the battle. Three of them hurriedly charged over to help the ninth-degree Invincible against Heavendoom.

They had to do something to help. They couldn’t afford to lose more allies. Heavendoom was strong enough that a Daofuse would be required to truly stop him. If he was allowed to run wild, even more Invincibles would die.

“Grandsons, come at me together!”

Heavendoom roared with laughter, “Come! We fight!”

Boom!

As the Heavendoom started going mad, those fighting nearby started moving further away regardless of whose side they were on. Nobody wanted to stay near the madman.

Far away, Empyrean Cloud roared with a sword in hand, “Piss off, Grandstar! This slut is mine!”

Yes. Prior to this, she had been fighting Han Xiang alongside Grandstar. Now that she could finally fight with her sword, she no longer wanted Grandstar’s help. Grandstar did not bother to argue. Since more opponents had arrived, it was only natural for them to split up. The guardians knew that things were starting to get dangerous.

Since Su Yu had allowed them to use their weapons, they did not hesitate, even though they were worried that Su Yu wouldn’t be able to handle the burden. The situation called for it. The death tunnels still needed to be suppressed or the consequences would be disastrous.

As the guardians fought, Su Yu stood there in silence. He was aware that He Tu and Xia Chen were doing something under these cities.

As the mayor of multiple ancient cities, he could sense what was happening down there. Some of the raging death spirits had withdrawn from the tunnels. He Tu and Xia Chen were strong enough to deal with them. However, they did not bother to kill anyone. Any death sovereign they killed would be quickly replaced by the heavenly laws.

Su Yu could feel He Tu and Xia Chen luring the death sovereigns away with some unknown treasure. One after another, the death sovereigns abandoned their tunnels to go after the two. Thanks to that, the ancient guardians were allowed to fight with their weapons.

The burden Su Yu needed to shoulder also lightened as a result. Thirty additional enemy Invincibles had arrived, but thirty-five guardians had also regained their weapons. The addition of each weapon was equivalent to the addition of an additional seventh-degree Eternal to the battle. And for some of them, like Heavendoom, the addition of each weapon was equivalent to the addition of another ninth-degree Eternal.

Thus, the newly arrived Invincibles were promptly suppressed by the guardians before they could even do much. Over 130 Invincibles were fighting on the myriad races’ side. Meanwhile, the humans and iron devourers could only handle about thirty of them with roughly twenty Invincibles. The remaining enemy Invincibles were all being handled by the thirty-five guardians. Despite their numerical superiority, they weren’t able to gain the upper hand against humanity.

The guardians were simply too powerful. Even the weakest among them was a seventh-degree Eternal, and they did not cultivate the Three Body Method. Rather, they cultivated the Weapon Fusion Method.

With their weapons, they would be far stronger than those in the same cultivation level even without removing their pertification. Thus, a scene of thirty-five individuals giving about a hundred individuals a beating unfolded. Each guardian was facing around three opponents alone, and they were winning.

The myriad races needed at least one high-degree Eternal to deal with each guardian. As for the groups facing the guardians without high-degree Eternals, they could only receive a one-sided beating from the guardians. And if they were to lose their tri-life bodies, the situation would only worsen.

Finally, one of them lost patience and roared in fury, “We need further reinforcements! Awaken all your slumbering experts! We need their help! Are you only going to deploy them upon our defeat?”

Attacking in waves wouldn’t work here.

“These old bastards are terrifyingly strong even after being sealed for so long.”

Far away, outside the Celestial Chasm Realm, the Divine Pseudo Emperor was muttering with a sigh.

Yes. Even for him, these guardians were old.

Due to their self-petrification and the burden of death qi, these guardians had not improved much in strength over the years. Even so, they were still far stronger than many of the modern Invincibles.

The ancient cities had stayed neutral for nine epochs. This time, they had finally broken their neutrality. And this was a faction that could truly affect the balance of the Myriad Realms. Just look at how they were dealing with two Daofuses and over a hundred Invincibles without even removing their petrification.

It was likely that not a single race would be a match for the ancient guardians alone. They were too strong. The guardians might not enjoy any advantage in quantity, but they held a massive advantage in terms of quality.

Tiangu was frowning as well.

About two hundred Invincibles had been dragged into this battle.

Many had died.

Twenty-five had died in the Human Realm while twenty had died in the Celestial Chasm Realm. In the previous conflict, over fifty of them had died. All in all, the myriad races had lost over a hundred Invincibles in recent conflicts.

They couldn’t allow this to continue. The immortals had lost a lot of Invincibles. They had lost all eight of their hidden Invincibles in the Human Realm. Including the immortal king who had entered the Human Realm with Jade King, they had lost nine immortal kings in the Human Realm. Including the ones they had lost in the previous conflicts, they had lost over twenty immortal kings in the recent conflicts.

Of the 130 Invincibles currently fighting humanity, over twenty of them were immortals. There were also around twenty immortal kings outside the Celestial Chasm Realm. All in all, the immortals had deployed over sixty Invincibles in the recent conflicts. Should they deploy even more Invincibles? At this rate, the immortals would be emptied before long.

Just then, the entrance of the Celestial Chasm Realm shook slightly. Then, a pale Great Qin King walked out of it. However, his condition had improved significantly compared to earlier. Like the others, he gazed into the distance.

The battle near the Human Realm was too intense. It could be felt throughout the Allheaven Battlefield. Of the many experts gathered outside the Celestial Chasm Realm, the Primordial Giant King and Spatial Beast Pseudo Emperor were feeling rather shocked.

With Su Yu’s appearance, the guardians were finally allowed to fight with more of their strength. And sure enough, they had demonstrated a terrifying level of strength. In this battle, humanity had lost only a small number of Invincibles. Meanwhile, their enemies had lost a much larger number of Invincibles. As for the celestial chasm race, it had been completely wiped out.

Su Yu had been a major player in all the recent conflicts, and because of him, the myriad races had lost nearly two times the total number of Invincibles humanity had. With that in mind, the two relaxed slightly. Previously, they were still rather worried about their decision to help humanity.

Perhaps…things weren’t that hopeless for humanity this epoch, after all. The only variable to worry about was the Upper Realm. Were there any surviving human Daofuses? If all of them were dead, things would still be troublesome in the future.

Great Qin King looked around and noted that about forty enemy Invincibles were gathered here. Meanwhile, fewer than twenty Invincibles had arrived from the primordial giant race and the spatial beast race.

As for the humans, they had about thirty Invincibles here. However, more than half of them were too injured to keep fighting. Great Qin Kin was trying to decide if they should start another battle here. But after some thought, he gave up on that idea. This wouldn’t work.

The human Invincibles were still busy suppressing the death spirits running wild in the Celestial Chasm Realm. If they allowed the death spirits to run out of control, the heavenly laws would not spare them. Thus, starting a battle now could be disastrous for them.

Great Qin King inhaled deeply and sent Great Zhou King a voice transmission, “Stay here. I’ll kill my way back to the Human Realm. The guardians might be strong, but we don’t know how long Su Yu can handle the burden. I’m also worried that someone would try to assassinate him.”

Su Yu was too important for humanity. The moment he died, the ancient guardians would be forced to withdraw. All the current active experts were too occupied to assassinate Su Yu, but that did not mean that the hidden old fossils were not aware of his importance.

Rather than putting so much effort into fighting those guardians, it would be a far better idea to gather their strength and kill Su Yu. After shooting Great Qin King a glance, Great Zhou King nodded. Great Qin King said nothing and ripped the space in front of him apart to leave.

Just as Tiangu and the others were about to stop him, several Daofuses released their auras and locked onto them. Tiangu merely smiled and said nothing. In the blink of an eye, Great Qin King appeared elsewhere. But the moment he emerged from thin air, three powerful Invincibles emerged around him.

Boom!

A massive battle erupted.
