Tribulation of Myriad Races

The intense battle raged on.

And the Celestial River of Death was indeed trembling.

At the bottom of the Celestial River of Death, a bottom that no senses could reach, countless slumbering death spirits were stirring. Finally, some opened their eyes. Doubt and confusion filled these eyes.

But some of them differed from the others. Some eyes would shine blindingly right after opening. These were the eyes of the top experts. Even after awakening, they did not move. They did not leave the river. Rather, they waited. They recovered. They observed.

Over the countless years, numerous experts had been brought into this river. Since the creation of this river, almost all dead experts would be brought into its embrace. However, many had remained in slumber.

Somewhere in the Death Realm.

Inside a certain residence.

Liu Hong looked outside, staring into the distance. Noticing several massive figures in combat, he inhaled in shock. Why was the battle so intense?

Were those Daofuses? No, that one guy felt stronger than even a Daofuse! Was that…a heavenly king? Good heavens! It hadn’t even been long since he entered the Death Realm. Previously, the strongest combatants of the various battles would only be Daofuses. Why did such an intense battle break out in the Death Realm?

“Well, sorry, guys. I’m too weak to help. No matter what, I need to grow stronger first, right?”

As Liu Hong muttered to himself, the aura of a Sunmoon swirled around him.

Sunmoon.

For the regular people, someone at this level could already be considered a powerful expert. But such a strength would only qualify him to serve as cannon fodder in the current battle. No, he would be worse than that. He was simply too weak compared to the super experts involved in that battle.

After giving the battle a glance, Liu Hong withdrew his attention. It was pointless. First, he had to achieve his goal here. Otherwise, he would be completely helpless in the coming war that would engulf the Myriad Realms.

***

Outside.

Both Great Qin King and Great Xia King studied the city before them solemnly, but they noticed nothing. Great Xia King asked doubtfully, “Is there really a battle here?”

Su Yu did not answer. Instead, he focused on the distant River of Time.

He saw it.

He saw a gigantic dao, a mountain-like dao, shaking violently. It was massive and powerful, stronger than even the saber dao Su Yu had seen not long ago. Was this the old turtle’s dao?

It wasn’t weak at all.

At the moment, chains were wrapped around the dao. Even further away, an indistinct dao could be seen, attacking the mountain-shaped dao as well. At the same time, flames raged around it.

Almost nobody could see it. Not even Great Qin King and Great Xia King could see it. Clearly, a battle between daos could happen undetected. Only the likes of Su Yu could notice such a battle.

A battle had erupted.

That was not all. The old turtle was at a disadvantage here. Just who among the living could put such pressure on the old turtle? Tiangu and Heavenly Overseer Marquis were powerful, but both were slightly weaker than the old turtle.

But now, the old turtle’s dao seemed completely suppressed. Either the attacker was a Master of Law, or the old turtle was fighting more than one battle at once.

“Something must have happened in the Death Realm as well. The human lord’s token is reacting intensely.”

Understanding dawned on Su Yu. This was a pincer attack. Two super experts must be attacking at the same time. They were incredibly powerful. When the old turtle fought multiple battles at the same time previously, he had still been able to hold the upper hand.

“Perhaps…it’s yet another heavenly king.”

Su Yu glanced at Great Qin King and Great Xia King. The two were not weak anymore, but they still weren’t good enough to defeat heavenly kings even when joining hands.

With his eyes narrowed, Su Yu said, “Head to Grand Dream City and reinforce Grand Dream. Take note. Don’t throw your lives away if you can’t win. Prioritize the preservation of your lives. Even if you’re winning, don’t risk anything without an absolute certainty that you can kill this opponent. Keep a low profile and hide some of your strength.”

“Hide our strength?” The two blanked out.

Su Yu explained, “Such an expert can’t be killed so easily. The moment they focus on fleeing, you won’t be able to keep them around. This is the world of the living. Things aren’t that desperate for us. Just lay low and survive for now. I’ll go get help.”

The two gasped. Just what manner of expert was this? Not even the two of them and the old turtle were sufficient?

Su Yu did not explain much. When they reached the Sea of Stars, he said, “Go. I’m afraid Spirit Suppression General won’t be able to last much longer.”

“Understood.”

The two then flew toward the direction of the city they remembered. Great Qin King’s voice rang out, “Should we solicit the help of the other guardians?”

“No. They are unqualified to participate in a battle of this level.”

Yes. Unqualified.

Also, getting too much help would risk attracting the attention of Tiangu and the others. Su Yu did not fear them. But he still wasn’t ready to restart the war. Starting a war before he was fully ready would result in greater losses, which wasn’t worth it.

Many people on Su Yu’s side were still growing rapidly. For example, September.

West Royal Consort did not want to create too big a fuss to avoid attracting humanity’s attention. But Su Yu didn’t want to attract too much attention either. It would be much better if he could restrict the scale of this battle while keeping the myriad races clueless.

The attacker was most likely not Tiangu or one of the others. From the chains around the dao, Su Yu suspected that this was related to Control King.

“Flames and chains…”

Su Yu did not waste any time and sped off. He needed to recruit more help. Since the attacker was trying to assassinate the old turtle, Tiangu and the others were likely unaware of this.

This was similar to how Su Yu had not informed his allies in advance before killing East Heavenly King. At times, the spread of information must be controlled lest it result in something unexpected.

“The other guardians might have sensed the battle…”

Through his mayor’s tokens, he sent them a voice transmission, “All guardians are to remain in your cities. Do not act.”

A reply came, “Boss is in trouble.”

“Just listen. I am already getting help. Great Qin King and Great Xia King have both achieved Daofuse. Both are already helping there. Do not ruin my plan. At this moment, nobody is more concerned about Senior Grand Dream’s safety than me.”

Due to Su Yu’s words, the guardians who were stirring calmed down. Yes. Su Yu was the one most concerned with the old turtle right now. The moment something happened to the old turtle, this entire alliance might crumble.

Su Yu continued moving rapidly through the River of Time. However, it was too slow. For many, this was an unbelievable speed. But for him, this was not enough. His dissatisfaction with his speed slowly turned into restlessness.

Damn it!

Sure enough, no plan was perfect.

The Myriad Realms simply held too many secrets. There was also Heavenly Overseer Marquis, who had yet to even make a move. He had to solve this issue before Heavenly Overseer Marquis noticed anything or things could get very troublesome.

A pyrrhic victory was not what Su Yu pursued. Rather, he pursued a stable victory. Killing enemy Daofuses at the cost of his own Daofuses was simply not worth it for him. After all, he still needed to accumulate strength and launch a war against the Upper Realm.

Just then, Su Yu sensed something. Then, his voice rang out, “Great Zhou King, heed my command. Leave the Human Realm, kill Heavenly Overseer Marquis, and seize the Heavenly Hunt Index.”

He continued, “How audacious of you, Heavenly Overseer Marquis! How dare you play those tricks on my fragments! Die!”

Amid the boundless void.

Heavenly Overseer Marquis had indeed sensed something unusual happening in the Sea of Stars. But just as he was about to move over with his Heavenly Hunt Pavilion to investigate, Su Yu’s roar rang out.

Then, he heard something that caused his very heart to tremble.

Playing tricks on those fragments.

Su Yu had discovered it!

Just then, a screen in the pavilion displayed the scene of Su Yu raising a fragment while roaring, “Damn you! How dare you? Hand the Heavenly Hunt Index yourself or you will be killed! Great Zhou King! Where are you? Are you dead? Get over here!”

With a flicker, Great Zhou King emerged from the Human Realm with a confused expression.

Damn it!

What was it this time? Was Su Yu scheming against Heavenly Overseer Marquis through the fragments? Why was Su Yu acting like he had just found out about Heavenly Overseer Marquis’ trap? Was this…another scheme?

As smart as Great Zhou King, he knew what to do even if he had no idea what Su Yu was planning. Looking at how Su Yu was raging and pretending to have just discovered a known secret, he rushed over and said, “Zhou Potian obeys!”

Then, he charged into the sky.

Behind him, Su Yu threw the record character into the sky and said, “Follow the fragment. Lock on to him and kill him. How dare he? Truly impudent!”

In his fury, Su Yu even gave the thin air a punch, causing his surroundings to shake violently. He roared, “A bunch of traitors! How dare these traitors treat me so? Just wait. I will kill you all after becoming a Daofuse!”

The world shook. Under the influence of his fury, even the ambient source qi in the air was trembling. Inside the various realms, some experts were left quite speechless. This guy was getting more and more overbearing.

Was Heavenly Overseer Marquis scheming against him through the fragments? And right after discovering it, he sent Great Zhou King to kill Heavenly Overseer Marquis? Could Great Zhou King even do it?

Su Yu continued roaring, “Great Zhou King, take him down! If you dare to keep hiding your strength, I’ll cut you down! Use all your strength and teleport yourself over!”

Far away, Great Zhou King blanked out slightly.

All his strength, and teleporting…

A certain realization dawned on him. Old Qin and Old Xia were nowhere to be seen.

Instantly, his aura surged. Then, the space around him rippled as he started teleporting himself.

He roared, “Understood!”

At that point, the projections of Tiangu and the others had appeared outside their realms. All of them looked in Su Yu’s direction. Tiangu frowned.

Talisman King gasped, “This…this isn’t the strength of a new Daofuse!”

With a gloomy tone, Tiangu said, “Of course. I already knew he wasn’t a new Daofuse during our previous battle. But he seems even stronger than that. This guy is comparable to Jiwu in strength.”

Su Yu continued roaring, “Seniors from the soul devourer race, I beseech you to wake up for a short moment. Please keep an eye on the various realms. Kill anyone with the courage to assist Heavenly Overseer Marquis! If anyone dares to help him, we shall start another war between the myriad races!”

“Hehehe, another fight?”

Soy Bun’s voice rang out, “Who we fighting? Can we fight Tiangu? We have to join hands! We can’t win alone!”

“Just keep the various realms suppressed. Today, I will kill Heavenly Overseer Marquis!”

“Alrighty!”

An opening was torn in the air as the two furballs vanished into it.

Shortly after, the two reappeared near the Immortal Realm, their old stomping grounds.

***

Immortal Realm.

While Tiangu was frowning, Talisman King said, “Is he really starting another war? What a madman! How many days has it been since the last war?”

Was the new human lord mad? Was rest not a thing for him? It had only been twenty-five days since the end of the previous war.

Yes. Only twenty-five days.

It hadn’t even been a month. Everyone was still recovering from the previous battle. Was this guy crazy?

Tiangu said, “It is more likely that this is only a threat. If he really intends to fight, the book spirit and tea spirit would have appeared by now. Something isn’t right. He seems far too angry. Is he trying to kill Heavenly Overseer Marquis?”

With a solemn tone, Tiangu ordered, “Keep a close watch on Heavenly Overseer Marquis and Great Zhou King. The moment Heavenly Overseer Marquis falls into danger, help him.”

They would help Heavenly Overseer Marquis if he were in danger.

It wasn’t a good idea to start a war before the connection with the Upper Realm was restored. But he couldn’t allow something to happen to Heavenly Overseer Marquis. Balance must be maintained. Without Heavenly Overseer Marquis, the current humanity would be even harder to check.
