Tribulation of Myriad Races

“Friend, the ancient past is…no more.”

The golden peng laughed and said, “Ape Pseudo Emperor, I’ll leave him for you.”

The Ape Pseudo Emperor said, “Stop wasting time with small talk. Kill Su Yu and end this.”

Then, the Ape Pseudo Emperor charged forth and met the hou with his staff.

Three additional Daofuses had joined the battle. Numerous people were shocked. Three more ancient races had picked sides. Both the Devil Pseudo Emperor and Dragon Pseudo Emperor smiled. Victory was as good as theirs.

There weren’t that many Pseudo Emperors left that had yet to join the battle. The Fate Pseudo Emperor was one of them. As usual, he maintained his neutrality and acted like nothing was happening. It was unlikely that there were more Daofuses lying around. Even if there were, they were most likely in deep slumber. As for the remaining Daofuses, it was highly unlikely that they would participate in this battle.

Over twenty Daofuses had been dragged into this battle, including the ones in the Death Realm.

Once again, the golden peng clawed at the old turtle’s barrier. With a roar, he tossed the barrier away before rushing forward. It was time to end this. With him here, not even escaping to the Death Realm would save Su Yu. He would simply give chase.

Even if there were death sovereigns waiting down there, he was confident he would be fine as a Daofuse.

Su Yu sighed.

This golden peng wasn’t his target. Why must the golden peng seek death? Sure enough, courting death was getting too popular nowadays. Why wouldn’t they believe his warnings?

Under him, the death tunnel fully opened.

The golden peng merely sneered with disdain.

Could Su Yu even escape him?

He was a golden peng, a race known for its speed.

With a flicker, he appeared at the entrance of the death tunnel, blocking Su Yu’s way. With a smile, he said, “You’re too weak and too slow. Well, looks like the time for you to die has arrived.”

Su Yu’s eyes widened.

Holy shit!

He had never seen someone courting death with such a high enthusiasm before.

Truly.

There were two experts down there, no, three, including the old turtle’s dao body. And yet he was automatically showing them his back?

Su Yu had been planning to enter the tunnel himself to lure the golden peng inside, but there wasn’t even a need for that. The golden peng had delivered himself voluntarily.

The golden peng interpreted Su Yu’s widened eyes as a show of fear and despair. He smiled with derision. Su Yu was a genius. A freak. But he had underestimated Daofuses. The golden peng was too fast for him to handle.

Fleeing? How laughable. With his escape path blocked, how could he escape now? The kid would do well to remember that Daofuses were different from Eternals.

Once again, the golden peng clawed at Su Yu. He could already see the scene of Su Yu dying and the ancient guardians withdrawing. Humanity would be defeated, and the iron devourers, hous, primordial giants, and spatial beasts would escape in desperation. He could already see all that happening.

Perhaps they would even kill a Daofuse or two to teach others a lesson for supporting humanity. That would serve as a warning for the remaining races to never pick humanity.

It was already the tenth epoch. Why were there still people blind enough to pick their side? Over a hundred races had gone extinct over the past nine epochs for supporting humanity. Was that not good enough a lesson?

The golden peng couldn’t understand what these people were thinking. Truly. What were they thinking? Take the hou as an example. Was he so eager to follow in his father’s footsteps to serve humanity?

“Su Yu!”

Numerous Invincibles roared in desperation.

Great Xia King, Great Ming King, Heavendoom, and the others struggled with desperation.

This was looking very bad.

Su Yu had failed to escape! Why didn’t he flee when the golden peng was still being stopped by the barrier? Why did he waste his time talking to the golden peng? How foolish!

Great Xia King and the others were losing their minds.

Would more Daofuses appear to help humanity?

That seemed unlikely.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

Su Yu’s death would most certainly result in a defeat for them.

As the claw approached Su Yu, numerous faces smiled. This was the most intense battle to have erupted in the tenth epoch. And it would finally end.

Su Yu’s death would end it.

Just as they were smiling in anticipation, a disgruntled voice rang out, “He’s standing in my way! He’s stepping on my head! I’m angry!”

“Sigh. Why are you so impatient?” An older voice rang out, “See, this is the importance of reading. Reading will teach you patience.”

“Hey, that’s a golden peng. I heard golden pengs are tasty. I don’t know if that’s true, but we should take some back to feed Fat Ball.”

“Sure. Good idea.”

The exchange was relaxed, yet it had happened in the blink of an eye. It gave off an unusual sensation, as though it was both slow and fast at the same time.

Suddenly, time and space started reversing.

The golden peng’s expression changed drastically. Countless branches shot up from below him before twirling around him. The tea plant had learned to keep someone tied up first. Thus, that was the first thing she did when encountering a new opponent. At the same time, numerous nets emerged from the death tunnel.

“This is an expert of the living. Most of them are latched onto different daos. Upon proving their own daos, they will become Daofuses. This signifies a high rate of fusion between their own daos and the existing daos they have adhered to. You can kill such opponents by breaking down their chosen great daos.”

The younger voice asked, “How do I manifest their chosen daos?”

“I’ll teach you. The world is filled with laws. All of them have dao bodies. When their dao bodies break, their daos will manifest. Of course, some people can force the dao to manifest without breaking any dao bodies. But such people have an exceedingly deep comprehension of the myriad laws. You lack such comprehension.”

After being educated by the book spirit, the tea plant knew what to do. Instantly, a golden silhouette emerged from the golden peng’s body. Then, countless branches stabbed through it, ruining the dao body. Next, a large dao appeared out of thin air.

It was roaring and struggling.

Or to be precise, a golden peng was roaring above the line in the sky. That was the golden peng’s dao. The line in the sky, or the dao, had almost been entirely swallowed by the golden peng. It was on the verge of becoming one with the golden peng.

Despite his might, the golden peng was overwhelmed with fear. He asked in despair, “No! Who are you?”

This shouldn’t be possible! He did not even know there were such beings in the Myriad Realms. They were no death spirits. Who were they? There were really Daofuses waiting in the Death Realm!

Right at that moment, a golden flash shot out of the tunnel before appearing inside the old turtle’s body.

Instantly, the old turtle’s aura surged. A gigantic grand dream turtle manifested in the sky. With a rumble, the turtle slammed his entire body down, sending the two Pseudo Emperors flying while coughing blood.

The old turtle stomped forth, causing a massive death qi explosion with each step. The two Pseudo Emperors were sent flying while coughing blood repeatedly.

Finally, the old turtle smiled and said, “How odd. Why wouldn’t you believe Su Yu’s words?”

Su Yu waited no longer. It was time to kill. A Daofuse had been caught. He would definitely be rewarded handsomely after killing a Daofuse.

Transforming the Culture Tomb into a blade, he swung it with all his strength. He needed the reward. He needed to reach the ninth-stage Mountainsea Realm speedily before advancing into the Sunmoon Realm.

What a dumb golden bird. Why didn’t he believe that there were Daofuses waiting down there?

The golden peng was completely tied up. He was unable to even budge. He could only roar in desperation, but everything had happened too fast. He couldn’t even react.

The blade arrived.

Or to be precise, the blade struck the golden peng projection above the dao. With a rumble, the projection started shaking violently. It was so intense even Su Yu’s arms burst apart. Instead of being alarmed, Su Yu was overjoyed. A tough opponent instead!

He was even more certain that a massive reward would come out of this. He pushed his characters, willpower, body, acupoints, and Heaven Gate to their limits.

Boom!

One strike. Two strikes. Three strikes…

Instantly, he landed numerous strikes on the projection.

Boom!

Finally, the projection crumbled into pieces.

The look in the golden peng’s eyes dimmed. With a blank expression, he muttered weakly, “Who…are you?”

His dao had been shattered by Su Yu. He couldn’t understand this. Who? Who were the two? He had never seen them before. None of them was weaker than him. Just who were they?

He was filled with indignation.

Far away, an ancient realm shook violently.

The Golden Peng Realm.

Inside that realm, countless golden pengs were wailing mournfully as they flew everywhere in panic.

Apocalypse was upon them.

Their Emperor had fallen.

The sky split apart, lava erupted from the ground, and their realm barrier shattered.

Reddish golden rain started falling from the sky.

That was the second Daofuse to die today.

A golden peng.

He had joined the battle late, yet he had died not long after appearing.

***

Boom!

With great difficulty, Su Yu cut the golden peng’s body apart before storing the corpse inside his Mark of Civilization. What good luck. He had collected a relatively intact Daofuse corpse.

With the golden peng dead, the book spirit and tea plant shifted their attention elsewhere. Countless branches shot toward the nearby Ape Pseudo Emperor alongside numerous massive nets.

Fear covered the Ape Pseudo Emperor’s eyes.

His fight with the hou had barely started yet the golden peng had died.

“Open!”

With a roar, he stabbed through the sky with his staff as he attempted to flee through his River of Time.

As he turned around to flee, the hou chomped down on his leg, biting it off before chewing on it. Then, he looked at the book spirit and tea plant doubtfully.

Who were they?

Su Yu was truly filled with surprises. He had thought that Su Yu would not survive this.

As for Su Yu, he was too preoccupied to care about anything else. A massive golden cloud was descending upon him, followed by a large amount of power of laws. His aura rose sharply.

Third-stage Mountainsea, fourth stage, fifth sage…

In the blink of an eye, he had fused all his acupoints into two acupoints. He might have killed a Daofuse, but that was an assisted kill. Thus, the reward wasn’t as large as it could have been. Then again, it was still significant as Su Yu was only a Mountainsea.

His physical strength skyrocketed.

His few remaining Mountainsea characters advanced into the Sunmoon Realm.

Then, his body reached the peak Mountainsea Realm as his two acupoints started coming together. His body continued growing, slowly approaching the Sunmoon Realm. At the same time, his willpower also started its advancement into the Sunmoon Realm.

It was time for him to advance.

Numerous expressions changed drastically. Where did the two super experts come from?

Far away, the initially calm Heavenly Overseer Marquis could no longer remain calm. He trembled as he muttered, “This…this isn’t possible! Myriad…Myriad Dao Sutra…”

He paled.

Myriad Dao Sutra!

He could recognize the aura of the book!

And who was the other person?

It didn’t matter. These two were definitely related to Culture King!

Su Yu…Culture King…

The Heavenly Overseer Marquis grew more and more pale. He shouldn’t have acted against the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor! That was a mistake!

Meanwhile, Great Zhou King was laughing.

He was laughing happily.

He had never laughed in such an unrestrained manner before.

“Die!”

With a roar, a battle erupted outside the Celestial Chasm Realm as well. They aimed to only keep Tiangu and the others from interfering with the battle outside the Human Realm.

Boom!

Their opportunity had arrived!

Great Zhou King roared with laughter. The change he was waiting for had arrived!

Holy lord, Su Yu! He had gambled correctly!

Two Daofuses!

They had even killed a Daofuse right after arriving. Humanity had finally gained the upper hand!
