Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1695: A Dog’s Dao (2)

Hum!

The projection merged into Soy Bun’s body. While roaring with laughter, the excited Soy Bun declared, “Tiangu, today is the day I eat you! With the power of Culture King, I’ll bite you to death!”

Boom!

As space shattered, Tiangu was prevented from moving. Even if Soy Bun was only using borrowed strength, he was able to obtain an immense amount of strength. At the last moment, Tiangu escaped through shattering the space around him. However, he wasn’t able to escape cleanly. The pin on his hair was bitten off. When he reappeared elsewhere with dishevelled hair, a shocked expression covered his face.

Borrowing power from the ancient past!

This was inconceivable.

As of this moment, Soy Bun seemed to carry the power of Culture King himself. With one bite, he forced Tiangu to flee. Then, he turned around to give Heavenly Overseer Marquis a bite instead. Just as Heavenly Overseer Marquis’ expression changed, a unique power erupted from Soy Bun’s body. The moment that power appeared, the golden page in Heavenly Overseer Marquis’ hand started resisting his control.

Taking advantage of the distraction, Great Zhou King attacked Heavenly Overseer Marquis’ dao with a character, causing the entire dao to tremble. Before Heavenly Overseer Marquis could flee, his arm was bitten off by Soy Bun, splashing blood everywhere.

Finally, Heavenly Overseer Marquis was able to escape after pushing Soy Bun back with a palm attack. He reappeared beside Tiangu. Both of them had a look of overwhelming shock. They were not alone. The surrounding Invincibles and Daofuses were greatly shocked as well.

Even Great Zhou King was staring at Soy Bun in shock.

Holy shit!

This guy was able to borrow the power from the ancient past! He was able to borrow the power of Culture King!

Far away, Heavenly Overseer Marquis stared at Soy Bun gloomily and said, “So it turns out you specialize in the dao of time reversal, not the dao of consumption.

Soy Bun snorted and said, “What do you know, Luck Spirit? Do you think you know everything just because you used to follow Culture King for a short time? Kill Tiangu and allow me to eat you. If you do that, I’ll plead for your leniency from Culture King. Otherwise, I’ll eat both of you!”

Tiangu said coldly, “Soy Bun, how long do you think you can maintain this state?”

The process of borrowing power from the past was not a true reversal of time. Rather, it was a reversal of willpower. Soy Bun’s willpower must have returned to the past before borrowing power from Culture King. Or perhaps Culture King had sensed Soy Bun’s call one day in the past. As a response, he left an imprint here to be harvested by Soy Bun in the future.

This was how the so-called time travel worked. Most of the so-called reactions were essentially the random imprints left behind by these past experts instinctively during the past. The willpower of the person performing the so-called time travel would then harvest these imprints in the future. The experts of the past might not know exactly what their imprints would be used for, but their intuition would urge them to leave something behind.

Soy Bun said, “Not long. But it doesn’t matter. When they’re done killing, they will come help me eat you all!”

None of them was blind. They might as well be straightforward. A borrowed power wouldn’t last long. But it didn’t matter. Soy Bun only wanted to keep them occupied long enough for things to deteriorate even further for them. When the battle outside the Human Realm was over, it would be these people’s turn to die.

Both Tiangu and Heavenly Overseer Marquis frowned. The Divine Pseudo Emperor was also feeling greatly troubled. He was strong, but his opponent was the Spatial Beast Pseudo Emperor. The damn spatial beast had been blinking everywhere around him, annoying him to no end.

The Phoenix Pseudo Emperor and Primordial Giant King were also evenly matched. At this rate, things would only grow worse for them. Even the strongest two among them, Tiangu and Heavenly Overseer Marquis, were blocked from leaving.

Just then, another change appeared.

A deafening roar resounded.

Somewhere between the Celestial Chasm Realm and Human Realm, a ninth-degree immortal king was nailed onto thin air by Great Qin King’s spear. Even as the other two Eternals were madly attacking him, he ignored the accumulating injuries on his body and continued pushing his spear forward before blasting the immortal king apart.

“Who are you to stop me?”

After killing an old fossil, Great Qin King continued fighting madly, as though he had transformed into an undying god of war. Even his two opponents shivered from the madness he was displaying.

“Even if I’m weaker than Old Zhou, the likes of you are unworthy of stopping me!”

Yet again, a ninth-degree Eternal had died.

Yet again, it was Great Qin King.

He seemed to have the habit of killing Eternals while everyone else was in a standoff.

There was no helping it as he was truly crazy in a fight. He would attack as if he was trying to die, ignoring his injuries just to focus on killing his opponents. He would never consider his own survival. He only cared about killing his opponents.

He only needed to do enough to not die during the exchange itself. His bold combat style was the reason why he could still kill even when facing opponents who were supposed to be evenly matched with him.

Even when humanity was holding the upper hand, he was still fighting with the same desperation of someone on the losing side.

Silence descended.

As for Great Zhou King, he cursed.

After thinking about it, Tiangu laughed.

Far away, Great Qin King was surprised to hear the curse.

Great Zhou King continued, “Idiot! That’s the tenth immortal king!”

Damn it!

Yes. That was the tenth immortal king to die today.

Su Yu had killed nine in the Human Realm.

Great Zhou King had been paying close attention to the Immortal Realm, but Great Qin King had forgotten everything in his moment of madness.

Just then, the Fate Realm started shaking.

A large face appeared in the sky.

“Has the final war erupted?”

This time, the Fate Pseudo Emperor did not bother showing up anymore.

Outside the Celestial Chasm Realm, Tiangu looked up at the sky and sighed. “I never intended for them to return so early. But you…forced our hand.”

He tossed a token into the sky, which vanished with a flicker. In the blink of an eye, a token appeared above the Fate Realm.

“Lower Realm. Assistance. Immortals in danger.”

Tiangu’s willpower message rippled out of the token.

The face in the sky changed.

Then, the sky started tearing apart, accompanied by flashes of lightning.

Boom!

Rumbling sounds rang out, heard throughout the Myriad Realms.

After a while, two individuals emerged from the opening in the sky. Both were badly burnt, and both were coughing blood. But they ignored their injuries and flew away immediately.

An emergency!

Tiangu had requested their assistance!

They were quite heavily injured, but this was not the time to worry about that. Such injuries were expected since they had descended before the thousand-year limit was up.

With the two gone, the Fate Pseudo Emperor appeared with a flicker. He shook his head and sighed, “What’s the point? Are they here just to throw their lives away?”

Neither of the two was a peak Daofuse. They had joined hands to descend, sustaining heavy injuries in the process. In truth, there wasn’t anything special about the Upper Realm Daofuses.

People like Tiangu had only remained because they were unwilling to leave. Even up in the Upper Realm, they would have ranked much higher than the likes of these two.

Staring far into the distance, the Fate Pseudo Emperor chuckled and muttered, “The immortals are indeed bold. I suppose the celestial chasm race hasn’t died for nothing.”

The immortals in the Upper Realm had reacted in an entirely different manner than the celestial chams there. Just a message that the immortals were in trouble was enough to cause two immortal Daofuses to take such a huge risk and descend. Meanwhile, the celestial chasm Daofuses hadn’t been willing to descend even when their realm was being attacked.

Then again, the Fate Pseudo Emperor also believed that these two were simply here to throw their lives away, even if their courage was respectable.

The Abyss Marquis of the celestial chasm race was actually stronger than these two, but he had only shouted instead of doing anything for real. He had not descended even when Soulvenge died.

Once again, the Fate Pseudo Emperor sighed.

“Culture King…The tenth epoch…”

What should their choice be?

They would be fine if they remained neutral for now. But that would only last until the end of the thousand-year limit. At that point, they would most likely suffer gravely for not picking a side.

“This is even more dangerous than the ninth epoch. After all, this is the last time…”

Once again, he attempted to pry on fate itself. Alas, out of a hundred attempts, ninety-nine attempts would result in humanity’s destruction.

Only one of the attempts had informed him that humanity would win and reclaim their past glory.

Because of that one result, the Fate Pseudo Emperor started hesitating. The fate race wasn’t weak. But a wrong choice would still cause their extermination. He gazed upon the world with a worried expression. Time was running up. He had to make a choice soon. But it was so much harder to make a choice this time.

***

The entire Myriad Realms were shaking.

The very laws were shaking.

The Daofuses sensed what was coming, including Great Zhou King. He sighed helplessly.

There was no helping it.

Even if Great Qin King hadn’t killed that immortal king, the immortals would most certainly lose another immortal king before the end of this battle. After all, Su Yu had killed too many of them at the start of the battle.

He alone had killed nine of the ten dead immortal kings.

And sure enough, the Upper Realm reacted after the death of the tenth immortal king.

With a laugh, Tiangu’s voice rang out throughout the Myriad Realms, “Go to the Human Realm. Assist them. Make haste.”

Two powerful auras could be sensed emerging from the Fate Realm before moving toward the eastern sector.

The war had erupted.

The two Daofuses could feel it.

They noticed the phenomenon of a dead Daofuse as well. Thus, both were looking solemn as they moved toward the Human Realm.

Outside the Human Realm.

The Nether Pseudo Emperor and the others sensed the two newcomers. They were overjoyed. The Dragon Pseudo Emperor roared in excitement, “Talisman King! Soldier King! Make haste!”

He knew them!

They had survived since the third epoch!

After becoming Daofuses and defeating humanity during the third epoch, they had ascended to the Upper Realm. A lot of Daofuses disliked staying in the Myriad Realms as the laws were harder to sense here. Furthermore, they would be forced to enter deep slumber down here. And the Daofuses who had remained in the Myriad Realms would always be the one to serve as the vanguard against humanity. This had happened each epoch without fail.

But since the immortals were in trouble, the two had decided to descend without any hesitation.
