Tribulation of Myriad Races

Before long, Su Yu walked through the waterfall with Great Xia King and Great Qin King. The white dog did not come over to greet them. He merely watched from the entrance of the residence. The two gasped in shock upon seeing the distant white dog.

A super expert!

The reading sounds coming from the residence shocked them greatly as well. They recognized the voice and the auras inside the residence. The two super experts who had participated in the previous battle were here as well.

Noticing Great Qin King’s gaze on him, Su Yu smiled and introduced, “That’s Fat Ball, Culture King’s dog. He doesn’t like unknown individuals. We will stay here. You won’t mind our simple surroundings, right?”

What was there to mind? There was only a hill here. Nothing else.

Great Qin King asked, “Should we greet them?”

“That won’t be necessary.” Su Yu said, “Both of you are physical dao cultivators.”

Great Xia King argued, “I am a saber dao cultivator! The blade of Xia is known throughout the Myriad Realms!”

How was he a physical dao cultivator! Bullshit! He refused to admit that. Great Qin King wanted to argue that he was a spear dao cultivator, but recalling his recent experience, he stopped. It was pointless to argue about that.

Su Yu said, “The physical body dao is a very good dao. In fact, it’s very powerful. As far as I can see, this is the number two dao in the Myriad Realms.”

“Number two?”

“Yes. The death spirit dao is the number one dao. Of course, don’t even think about cultivating that dao.”

Su Yu explained, “But the physical body dao is greatly damaged. I also suspect that Hundred Battle King is not dead. Rather, he has been suppressed and sealed somewhere. Or perhaps he has betrayed humanity and escaped. He has monopolized the dao, making it incredibly difficult for anyone else to progress far on it.”

“Betrayal?” Great Xia King frowned and said, “I doubt so. We don’t know much, but we know that he’s boundlessly bold and powerful. It is believable that he has been sealed or even dead. But betrayal…that’s too unlikely.”

The betrayal of the ninth human lord?

Great Xia King found it hard to believe.

Great Qin King offered his thoughts, “It is pointless to speculate about this. Old Zhou is probably quite close to Hundred Battle King. If we speak of this outside, it might lead to an unwanted effect. But if you ask me, I believe he’s either dead or sealed.”

Su Yu laughed and said, “Sure. I won’t speculate. In truth, I am also more inclined to believe that he’s either dead or sealed. Anyway, forget about him for now. In any case, there is no future with the physical body dao before it is repaired.

“I intend to have both of you switch your dao. Your new dao is also a physical body dao, but it’s not a human dao.”

Su Yu inhaled deeply and said, “To do so, you need to change your body and transform into an ancient beast.”

He looked at the two and earnestly said, “I won’t let any random person cultivate this dao. It is too powerful. Someone talented enough can easily become a Master of Law, reaching the level of an ancient human king. It is too risky to let someone I can’t fully trust pursue a dao like this.”

Great Qin King laughed and asked, “Changing my body?”

“Yes!”

“No problem.”

Great Qin King did not seem to mind. Beside him, Great Xia King replied indifferently as well, “Let’s do it. What’s the big deal? A body is not too important. Back then, some of the character cultivators even considered abandoning their bodies and switching their bloodlines. We considered such an option before as well since humanity has failed to produce a Daofuse even after so long.”

Great Xia King explained, “Back then, we even considered stealing the bloodlines of the immortals, divines, and devils to try switching our bloodlines in secret. However, the regular bloodlines of those races failed to catch our eyes. Su Yu…cough, Emperor Yu, I believe you’re familiar with the Transformation Faculty of Great Xia Cultural Research Academy. Lan Tian was one of the core researchers there, but eventually, he lost himself in his research.”

He said, “If you can promise that there is a high hope for us to become Daofuses and grow stronger than we are, this won’t be an issue.”

He added, “But you need to give us a guarantee. Upon unifying the Myriad Realms, you need to make it clear that we are not mixblood. We are humans. We have simply switched our bloodlines for humanity. This must be recorded in the history books of humanity.”

Great Xia King laughed and said, “We don’t want a future where, upon fighting hard to unify the Myriad Realms, some fools appear to call us outsiders due to our bloodline.”

Su Yu was surprised. He had not expected the two to be so open to this idea. In truth, this wasn’t an option he could accept for himself. He had been wondering about how he should persuade the two. But surprisingly, the two had agreed easily.

Su Yu said, “This is a big sacrifice for the two of you. I promise to record this into the very laws upon reaching a level where I can modify the laws. The laws shall bear witness for all descendants of the Qin and Xia bloodlines.”

Great Qin King said, “No, there is no need to go that far. It’s not like we don’t already have descendants. They are all regular humans. As for the two of us, can we still give birth at our age?”

They did not need to worry about the reputation of their descendants. They were only worried about their own reputations.

Su Yu chuckled and said, “You never know. Maybe after a few hundred or thousand years, you will encounter someone who can make your heart flutter again.”

“…”

Great Qin King said, “Maybe this will happen to Old Xia, but not me.”

Great Xia King sneered and said, “Why are you denying this? You’re talking like you can’t fall for anyone. Did your two sons grow from the ground? Did I give birth to them for you?”

“What did you just say?”

“What about it?”

“…”

Were they…starting a fight here?

Su Yu was rendered speechless.

He interrupted them and said, “Since both of you are agreeable, we shall talk about this more in the future.”

He took the corpse of the heavenly desolate beast out. It was a tiny corpse, but the moment the seal on it was removed, a boundlessly powerful aura surged out of it, warping even the space around it. Then, a colossal beast manifested in the sky.

Great Xia King, Great Qin King, and even Su Yu took several steps back in shock.

Too powerful.

Even dead, this beast was still able to emanate such a powerful aura with a mere remnant will.

Just then, the white dog barked at the sky. The spreading aura of the beast was stopped before it could reach the flowers and plants around the residence. Then, the white dog complained, “Su Yu, don’t release this thing without informing me in advance. You nearly ruined my flowers!”

Great Xia King and Great Qin King had to utilize all their strength to resist the pressure of the colossal beast. Seeing how easily the white dog had removed the pressure of the beast, both were greatly shocked.

What a powerful dog!

Even Su Yu was feeling oppressed by the beast. Hearing the white dog’s words, he smiled and said, “I understand. I did not expect its pressure to be so strong.”

Looking up at the beast in the sky, he inhaled in shock.

“This is a Master of Law. How incredible. Even dead, even as a mere corpse, it far surpasses ninth-degree Eternals.”

Su Yu was greatly shocked. A Master of Law was far stronger than he had imagined. Then again, this was understandable. The heavenly desolate beast wasn’t a weakling even during the ancient past. Culture King wouldn’t have needed to personally slay a weakling.

Excluding Human Emperor, Culture King was the strongest being of the ancient past. It signified that this beast was too formidable for even the other human kings to handle. Previously, Martial Emperor had claimed that thirty or even fifty Daofuses were needed to stand a chance against him. Even so, they might fail to kill him.

In that case, how powerful was this beast at its peak? Thirty or fifty Daofuses…what a terrifying thought. There wasn’t even any guarantee that fifty Daofuses would be enough for an opponent of this level.

For Su Yu, even someone like East Heavenly King was already excessively strong. That was someone capable of fighting five or six Daofuses at once.

Great Qin King inhaled nervously and said, “Is this a dead Master of Law? In that case, just how strong would a living Master of Law be? A being like this could probably defeat us easily while alive. The ancient past…was truly a terrifying era. How did such a terrifyingly powerful era collapse?”

This was also his first time witnessing just how powerful a Master of Law could be. This was a mere corpse. Yet it could suppress him to the point of suffocation.

Great Qin King continued, “According to the rumors, Hundred Battle King was powerful enough to rival the ancient human kings. Was he at this level as well?”

Su Yu laughed and said, “He was probably weaker. Hundred Battle King pursued the physical body dao. Becoming a Master of Law through that dao was no longer possible even during his time. I believe…he was at the level of the four heavenly kings…no, perhaps slightly stronger. It is said that he could fight ten-odd Daofuses at once. East Heavenly King struggled to handle five. ”

The distant white dog heard their conversation. He chimed in, “Rivaling the ancient human kings with the physical body dao…in that case, he was probably the same as the weakest human kings. Someone like that could not be a true Master of Law. But being able to fight ten-odd Daofuses at once is impressive enough. He was probably stronger than the death spirit heavenly kings.”

Su Yu asked, “How many Daofuses could Culture King fight?”

The white dog answered matter-of-factly, “Numbers would not matter. Master could kill a swarm of them with each wave of his hand. Why bother counting?”

“…”

Fine. Fine.

Let’s just pretend he hadn’t asked that question.

The white dog continued, “Master was the strongest among the ancient human kings. He alone could handle numerous human kings. Master could easily give the Pseudo Emperors of the immortals and devils the beating of their lives. And these Pseudo Emperors were stronger than regular human kings. Regular human kings were stronger than physical body dao human kings. Physical body dao human kings could fight numerous Daofuses each. Therefore, Daofuses were bugs for Master.”

Great Qin King and Great Xia King felt like they were listening to a fairy tale. How did such a powerful era collapse? It was truly regrettable that they couldn’t witness such an era firsthand.

Great Xia King couldn’t resist asking, “Senior, was my ancestor, Battle King, strong?”

“Battle King?” The white dog answered, “He was quite strong. He was probably among the strongest after the Four Cardinal Human Kings. My master was the strongest of the four while Martial King ranked second. The other two were quite strong as well. Each was stronger than a regular Pseudo Emperor. Battle King and those with similar strength were stronger than regular assembly members.”

Great Xia King nodded. Not bad at all. It would seem like his ancestor was a respectable person in the ancient past, after all.

But out of nowhere, the white dog added, “Battle King…I know a secret of his. He had an ugly face. Even Little Master complained about her ugly face. Master told him the same. Ultimately, he took numerous beauties as his dao companions, aiming to produce beautiful descendants. Are you one of these descendants?”

“…”

Great Xia King decided to ignore that question. He told himself that he never liked to engage in gossip.

The white dog continued, “But you have an ordinary face. I suppose you’re not a descendant of the beautiful dao companions he had gathered toward the end. Battle King’s dao companions only grew more beautiful as time passed. The newer they were, the more beautiful they were. You must be a descendant produced from one of the ten earliest dao companions.”

“…”

Su Yu and Great Qin King stared at Great Xia King with odd expressions. On the other hand, Great Xia King had an ugly expression. Even the eternally strict Great Qin King felt like laughing. He had to exert great effort to suppress his desire to laugh.

Suppress! Suppress!

How surprising. Before doing anything else, he had learned of such an ancient gossip here.

How…comedic.

Su Yu was left quite speechless as well. He said, “Martial King got himself a bunch of dao wives. Battle King did the same. I heard the Sea of Stars was a product of Radiant King’s romance as well. The ancient past…sigh. Sure enough, those with dao companions were all the weaker kings.”

“…”

The two stared at Su Yu silently. Why did it feel like he was insulting both of them as well? But they decided to forget this matter. What did a kid like this know about romance?
