Tribulation of Myriad Races

The Dragon Pseudo Emperor had fallen. Everything had changed.

Three Daofuses had been killed in the span of one day. Humanity had started the tenth epochal war with a seemingly unstoppable momentum.

Heavenly Overseer Marquis was not the only person who was turning pale with fright.

Suddenly, Tiangu’s voice rang out, “Withdraw! Everyone, withdraw!”

“Withdraw!”

The Divine Pseudo Emperor roared.

“Withdraw!”

The various Pseudo Emperors roared.

Everything had changed.

With the death of the Dragon Pseudo Emperor, Su Yu had proven himself capable of slaughtering Pseudo Emperors as well. Everything was changed because of that. At this point, the Upper Realm wouldn’t be able to send more than one additional Daofuse down here. And it was very unlikely for even one more Daofuse to descend.

As for the Daofuses in the Myriad Realms who had yet to appear, after Su Yu’s show of strength, it was unlikely that they would have to courage to appear anymore.

Boom!

The battle outside the Celestial Chasm Realm grew further in intensity.

Both Tiangu and Heavenly Overseer Marquis were attacking madly, doing their best to keep Soy Bun and Great Zhou King busy. The Divine Pseudo Emperor was also fighting madly, collapsing all space around him to ensure that the Spatial Beast Pseudo Emperor wouldn’t have the chance to approach him.

“Everything has changed.”

Fate Realm.

The Fate Pseudo Emperor was greatly shocked as well. The change was too sudden and too massive.

Su Yu had killed the Dragon Pseudo Emperor. Once again, the sky above shook. Sounds of roaring dragons rang out.

“Roar!”

The roars echoed throughout the Fate Realm as lightning started flickering in the sky.

Since two immortals had descended not long ago, the power of the laws covering the sky was far stronger than before. The heavens could tolerate disobedience for one time, even for the second time, but not for the third time.

A third disobedience would be met with a far stronger resistance from the heavenly laws. At this point, even a Daofuse would most likely die in an attempt to descend. And at the fourth disobedience, survival would no longer be possible.

The voice of a furious dragon rang out, “Where is Fateless?”

Fateless. Fate Pseudo Emperor.

Hearing that voice, Fate Pseudo Emperor stepped forth and appeared above a mountain peak. There, he looked up at the sky.

A dragon flickered into existence up in the sky. The dragon was being bombarded by numerous lightning bolts. Noticing that, Fate Pseudo Emperor raised his brow and said, “Celestial Dragon Marquis, that would be unwise.”

A voice that was shuddering due to intense pain rang out, “Fateless…what…happened to…my race? Did Long Dou die?”

A Daofuse had died!

The phenomenon resulting from one dead Daofuse was far bigger than what even ten dead Invincibles could produce.

Fate Pseudo Emperor replied, “Yes.”

“Humans?”

‘Humans.”

“Impossible! This is not possible!”

Celestial Dragon Marquis roared, “None of the human experts from the previous epoch was left behind! How is this possible? They don’t have the ability to kill Long Dou! It hasn’t even been a thousand years since the Allheaven Battlefield was reactivated! With the great dao of humanity in such a badly damaged state, they couldn’t have produced a Daofuse so early! Who? Who killed my son?”

The dragon marquis in the sky was furious. The dead Daofuse was his son. As a marquis, he was most certainly someone who was already a Daofuse during the ancient past. The Daofuses who had advanced after the collapse of the ancient past would not receive such titles.

Even if the ancient past was an era of humans, many still viewed these titles as a symbol of glory. Having such a title would indicate that one was super expert of the ancient past. A noble and glorious individual.

Even among fellow Daofuses, most untitled Daofuses were weaker than their titled counterparts.

Fate Pseudo Emperor replied calmly, “The current human lord.”

“Human lord?”

The dragon marquis spoke, his voice growing weaker, “Talisman King and Soldier King both descended. Why did…that happen? What was Tiangu doing? What about Jiwu? Mo Ji? What were they doing?”

The dragon marquis was furious. What were those experts doing while his son was busy fighting?

He roared, “Tell me! Which powerful race joined the battle and helped humanity?”

He needed an answer.

After a difficult attempt to descend, he finally regained his calm from the threat of death. He could feel that he might really die if he continued. Perhaps he should withdraw as this could really kill him.

Fate Pseudo Emperor answered calmly, “I can’t reveal the races that had participated in this battle. I don’t want to be responsible for any new wars up there. My race wishes to stay neutral. I hope you understand my decision, Celestial Dragon Marquis.”

“Damn you! How dare you hide things from me?”

Fate Pseudo Emperor laughed and said, “Celestial Dragon Marquis, I understand that you’re in a bad mood after losing a son. I can tolerate this once. But…I am the Fate Pseudo Emperor. Are you sure you want to make us your enemies?”

“…”

After a short silence, Celestial Dragon Marquis said, “I was too hasty. The death of Long Dou is a great blow to my race. Fateless, I doubt I can descend. I won’t be able to stay in this tunnel for long. Please pass a message to the dragons for me. Tell them..to prioritize surviving before the barrier opens.”

“I will do so. I can tell you that the dragons have sealed their realm.”

“Thank you.”

Celestial Dragon Marquis stopped raging. It was pointless. It also wouldn’t be wise to offend the fate race too much.

Fate Pseudo Emperor thought about it and asked, “Celestial Dragon Marquis, mind telling me if there are any human experts left up there?”

This tunnel couldn’t be opened at any time. And not just anyone could transmit messages through it. Only when a race lost too many experts at once would the tunnel open shortly from the intense shakings of the great daos.

The fate race did not have ten Invincibles to spare. Thus, they couldn’t contact their people in the Upper Realm easily. He was rather clueless about the current situation up there. As for the two Daofuses that had descended earlier, they had not spoken much before leaving.

Since Celestial Dragon Marquis had asked for a message to be delivered to the dragon race, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to refuse to give this information. After a slight hesitation, he answered, “Yes, but very few of them are left. The myriad races have been hunting them for years. Almost all of them are dead.”

So there were still some around.

Fate Pseudo Emperor couldn’t help but be impressed by the tenacity of humanity. They had yet to die off even after being hunted for so many years.

“So humanity has yet to be wiped out…”

Celestial Dragon Marquis hurriedly added, “It will happen soon. The tenth epoch will be their final epoch. When the thousand-year epoch arrives, we will exterminate humanity. Even if those old fogeys could survive, humanity would not survive without enough people to ensure the continuation of their race.”

At this point, the dragon marquis had withdrawn from the tunnel. Thus, his voice was growing indistinct. He asked one final question, “What is the name of the current human lord?”

“Su Yu! I’ll remember that name.”

Boom!

With a rumble, the dragon marquis vanished from the sky.

Su Yu. That was a name he would remember.

The human lord who had killed his son.

Fate Pseudo Emperor looked away. With the withdrawal of the Celestial Dragon Marquis, it was unlikely that anyone else would descend from above.

“So there are still some human survivors up there. It has been so many years…yet they are still around…”

Fate Pseudo Emperor shook his head. He wasn’t sure if those humans were simply that strong or if the myriad races had started to go against each other again after seeing humanity weakened.

However, it was likely that there really weren’t that many of them left. About four hundred years ago, humanity lost a large number of Invincibles. Even then, no human experts had appeared in the realm tunnel. He gazed into the distance, wondering if more Daofuses would die today.

***

Would more Daofuses die today?

Nobody could answer that question.

The experts of the various races were fighting with desperation to return to their respective realms.

Withdrawal was their sole option here.

Inside their realms, anyone not from their races or the human race would be subject to the suppressive force.

Humanity in itself did not have that many experts. Great Zhou King was a Daofuse. Su Yu was strong enough to kill Daofuses. Even so, humanity would not have the courage to invade a realm with a Daofuse so easily.

The experts of the other races might take the chance to invade the Human Realm when the two were out invading other realms. Thus, they would be forced to stay put. The myriad races had reached the same conclusion without any discussion. Thus, they started withdrawing while fighting.

However, the Spirit Pseudo Emperor and Ape Pseudo Emperor were being subjected to massive pressure.

They were facing the Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor, Hou Pseudo Emperor, and female furball. Elsewhere, the Talisman King and Soldier King were being suppressed by the book spirit and tea plant. If it weren’t for the fact that the tea plant still wasn’t familiar with the manipulation of laws, the two would have died by now. Nevertheless, it was undeniable that the two were losing.

As for the old turtle, he was still fighting the three Daofuses. For these Daofuses, withdrawing wasn’t an easy task.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was welcoming the reward for killing a Daofuse alone. From how brightly the golden cloud was shining, it was clear the cloud contained a large amount of power. The golden cloud started descending upon Su Yu.

Su Yu’s body had been badly damaged by the pressure of bearing Fat Ball’s power. The moment he received the heavenly reward, his body started recovering. His sole acupoint also started growing at a rapid pace. Inside his sea of willpower, the sea roiled madly as the sea of willpower started expanding.

After thinking for a bit, Su Yu directed a large amount of the power from his reward into his Mark of Civilization. He was using the reward to strengthen the book. At the same time, he was also strengthening the culture and radiance characters.

The Mark of Civilization was still not too strong at the moment. The projections it could produce were only peak Sunmoons at most, while the weaker ones were still stuck at the early Sunmoon Realm. In fact, the Mark of Civilization would probably fail to handle even an Invincible alone.

However, Su Yu understood that it wouldn’t remain weak forever. Back then, the Time Sage had forged the Book of Time to create her very own Myriad Realms. Thus, the Mark of Civilization would most certainly be very helpful in the comprehension of laws upon reaching a certain point.

Su Yu had grown too fast. Thus, his comprehension of the myriad laws was too lacking. Thus, further growth in his cultivation would only contribute minimally in terms of strength. In that case, he might as well strengthen his Mark of Civilization instead.
