Tribulation of Myriad Races

Finally, the leg finished its descent, crushing West Heavenly King’s face into pieces. Then, his body followed and crumbled apart.

Too powerful.

The sight of that shocked both South Heavenly King and North Heavenly King.

Culture King.

That was a stomp of Culture King!

The almighty West Heavenly King, one of the four heavenly kings, had been crushed with only one stomp. His dao body appeared from the ruins of his body, but even the dao body crumbled apart instantly.

Above, the white dog continued biting the dao as the chain tightened around it. At the same time, the ring descended and smashed the West Heavenly King’s death imprint apart.

Finally, the flowery ball blasted all the surrounding death qi away. Large swathes of space collapsed.

Up in the sky, the white dog was panting heavily as he said, “Why did you force me to use all my strength before dying?”

Everyone else was still stunned. It was as though time had stopped. Even the old turtle and Marquis Lanshan were staring at the dog blankly.

Holy shit!

What was the dog saying?

What an unreasonable dog.

What was the big deal of being Culture King’s dog?

Well, it was indeed an incredibly big deal.

He was not only Culture King’s dog. He was also Time Sage’s dog. Of his two masters, one was known as the second strongest in existence. Second only to the Human Emperor. The other was also known to be one of the five strongest in existence. Nobody had ever survived a battle with Time Sage, but the truly powerful existences were aware of her existence. And they all knew that she was excessively powerful. Thus, most ranked her among experts like the four cardinal kings.

With such masters, it was only natural that the white dog was also an extraordinary being. His numerous treasures were more than enough to handle these heavenly kings. Just imagine the life of an emperor’s favourite dog. Would a peasant dare claim to have a better life than that dog? The white dog had grown up eating dragons and phoenixes. He had grown up drinking the most precious of treasure liquids.

The entire Death Realm shook violently. West Heavenly King…had perished. The almighty West Heavenly King had died just like that. He was stronger than East Heavenly King, yet he had died an even more miserable death. He had been killed before he could even demonstrate his real strength properly.

He hadn’t even forced any Daofuses to desperation. At the very least, hope of victory was ever present during East Heavenly King’s battle. He had also injured many of Su Yu’s followers.

Meanwhile, West Heavenly King had been stomped to death not long after starting a battle he was certain he could win.

Too powerful.

This did not refer to the white dog. He might be powerful, but he was still slightly weaker than West Heavenly King. If he had fought with only his own strength, the battle would have lasted a very long time.

Ultimately, it would likely end with heavy injuries on both sides, but neither would be able to kill the other. However, the white dog had opted to smash West Heavenly King to death with his treasures. Thus, West Heavenly King had died with utmost indignation.

Up in the sky, the dog continued panting heavily. It was very tiring to control all those treasures. Fortunately, they had worked exceptionally well. That stinky guy was finally dead.

The battle ended.

Yes. It was over.

The various subordinates of North Heavenly King were fleeing everywhere. They had yet to even reach the battlefield. The sight of West Heavenly King’s death was simply too terrifying. If even someone as powerful as that had been killed with one stomp, what could they do there?

The subordinates of West Heavenly King were also attempting to flee. One of them roared in fear, “Flee! Run! Back to the West Heavenly Palace! We will await the Royal Consort’s return!”

Boom!

So desperate were they that they even set their death qi aflame just to flee faster. There was no fighting this battle anymore. Their heavenly king had died. What was the point of continuing the battle?

It was time to run. The marquises did not wish to fight any longer, but would Marquis Lanshan and the others allow them to flee so easily? Up in the sky, the east heavenly token descended upon them.

At the same time, the human lord’s token descended as well. Joining the two tokens, the gigantic dao body of the old turtle also pressed down on them like a collapsing mountain. Even the book spirit joined in. He released countless characters, forming a net covering all of them. The tea plant was also slowing them down with her countless vines.

All of them worked together to block the escape. North Heavenly King’s subordinates had yet to reach the battlefield. Thus, their escape couldn’t be stopped. As for those who were already in the East Heavenly Domain, escape was impossible.

Without West Heavenly King, the two tokens could easily suppress all these intruders.

At that exact moment.

Far away.

North Heavenly King retreated without any hesitation. He roared, “Everyone, return to the North Heavenly Domain and activate the North Formation!”

He might yet survive if he could return to his own territory. As the North Heavenly King, he would receive a boost in strength back in his own domain. That was his sole hope. Together with his fifteen marquises and his formation, he might still be able to resist these people.

North Heavenly King was incredibly decisive. He had decided to withdraw the moment West Heavenly King died.

Behind North Heavenly King, South Heavenly King swung her sword and shouted, “Senior! Please help! Stop him!”

He was calling for the white dog’s help. However, the white dog merely rolled his eyes. He was already too tired to fight more. Did they think that killing that stinky thing was such an easy feat? Furthermore, he had given Su Yu five drops of his blood essence recently.

“I’m too tired.”

The white dog gave a simple answer. Even after hearing that, North Heavenly King did not stop his escape. This was not something he dared to risk. There was no winning this battle. Escape was his sole option.

His subordinates had clearly reached the same conclusion as well. All of them focused only on returning to the North Heavenly Domain. The dog might claim to be too tired, but would they really believe those words?

No way!

Even if they suspected that the dog was being truthful, they wouldn’t dare to risk it. South Heavenly King was unwilling to let North Heavenly King go, but she had no choice. Once North Heavenly King returned to his own domain, he would be much harder to deal with.

So be it.

With a flicker, South Heavenly King vanished as she sped toward a marquis instead. That was one of the subordinates under North Heavenly King’s command.

Noticing that, North Heavenly King roared, “Gather around me! Immediately!”

As for the one who was already stopped, there was nothing he could do. He didn’t want to stay here for even a moment longer. If they were to fight here, he might end up losing all his subordinates.

And thus, the marquises started converging around him. North Heavenly King spread his dao out as he assisted the marquises to move faster. With a snort, South Heavenly King swung her sword at the intercepted marquis. The marquis roared in desperation, but there was nothing he could do.

There was a precedent of a heavenly king fighting Daofuses before. East Heavenly King alone could prevail over five. And when it was one against one, it would naturally result in an overwhelming advantage.

Of course, overwhelmingly powerful Daofuses like the old turtle would be an exception to this rule. But clearly, this marquis was not such a Daofuse.

Boom!

The power of the dao pressed down upon the marquis, rendering him helpless. As everyone in the Death Realm pursued the same dao, the effect of dao suppression was exceptionally effective.

By the time North Heavenly King and his fourteen marquises were gone from a spatial tunnel, a mournful wail rang out. The intercepted marquis had been killed.

As for the ten marquises under South Heavenly King’s command, after glancing at the white dog in fear, they all shot toward the remaining marquises under West Heavenly King’s command.

All their hesitation had vanished. Their boss had clearly sided with the right party. Their previous thoughts no longer matter. They could no longer afford to entertain those thoughts. Now, they only needed to fight. This was their opportunity to display their loyalty.

With the inclusion of the ten marquises, West Heavenly King’s subordinates were forced to face enemies twice their number. One after another, they were killed off.

One…two…

In the blink of an eye, all thirteen were killed.

In truth, some attempted to surrender. But Marquis Lanshan did not spare them. She understood Su Yu. Those who couldn’t submit fully would not be tolerated. She had not interacted with him much, but she was aware of just how overbearing he was.

For daring to attack them, not one of West Heavenly King’s marquises could survive. As one expert after another died, the Death Realm trembled violently, as though the world itself was ending.

Brilliant explosions filled the dusky sky of the Death Realm.

Before long, calm returned.

The killing was done.

Yes. All the enemies had been killed.

From the moment the white dog killed West Heavenly King, the result of this battle was already decided.

The old turtle’s dao body wasted no time and said, “I need to go back. Are you coming with me, daoist brother?”

“Going back?”

The white dog exclaimed in excitement. Yes! He had to go back as well!

Just then, South Heavenly King arrived. She hurriedly said, “No, we can’t leave yet. This is the perfect opportunity for us to press our advantage and attack the North Heavenly Domain. If he is allowed to activate his north heavenly token to strengthen his defenses in the North Heavenly Domain, he will be much harder to handle!”

The white dog blinked and said, “But my flowers are still waiting to be watered. Why don’t we do it next time? Just spare him this once. Next time, I’ll come. Su Yu will come as well. We’ll definitely beat him to death.”

He added, “I need to go now or something bad will happen!”

South Heavenly King’s heart thumped as right at that moment, she sensed something.

Yes. Something bad would happen!

Suddenly, a powerful aura rose from the distant Celestial River of Death. With a rumble, a powerful marquis emerged. After giving them a glance, the marquis vanished at the depths of the river.

But prior to his departure, his eyes glowed with a violent red tinge. Clearly, the presence of living beings was calling upon him. He had only refrained from attacking because the white dog’s aura was simply too powerful. He had vanished so quickly that not even South Heavenly King could detect his whereabouts anymore.

Seeing what was happening, South Heavenly King said, “You’re too strong. Your life force is too rich. In that case, I’ll try to siege the North Heavenly Domain with Lanshan and the others. If possible, we’ll take the North Heavenly Domain as well.”

“Sure. I don’t care. Just ask Su Yu about this.”

The white dog was not interested in this matter. He was too busy to care. And it was also true that he was too strong to stay here any longer. A prolonged presence might provoke the appearance of more powerful death spirits. That would be annoying.

Thus, the white dog grabbed both the book spirit and tea plant before rushing toward the Spirit Suppression Domain.

The old turtle was also worried about the situation with his main body. He said, “Heavendoom and the others, come with me. Daoist Brother White Dog has provoked the death spirits deep in the river to wake up from their slumber. Leave. It is too dangerous for living beings to stay here any longer.”

It would be fine for them to linger previously.

But things had changed after the white dog’s appearance. The entire Celestial River of Death seemed to have gone mad from the provocation. It wouldn’t be wise for Heavendoom and the others to remain in this situation.

They wasted no time and started leaving as well.

From afar, the old turtle’s voice rang out, “Marquis Lanshan, South Heavenly King, we will stop here and await further arrangements from the human lord.”
