Tribulation of Myriad Races

Far away.

Immortal Realm.

The entire realm trembled violently. Tiangu, who was in the middle of giving Soy Bun a beating, blanked out slightly.

He was so distracted that he didn’t even react when Soy Bun bit off one of his fingers. He pulled back in a hurry before turning to look at the Immortal Realm. Above the realm, a massive silhouette appeared before falling from the sky.

Natural disasters started erupting all over the Immortal Realm, killing countless immortals. Tiangu glanced at Talisman King by instinct, but Talisman King was still fighting Flatbun not far away. Even then, Tiangu was still blanking out. Talisman King was alive.

He wasn’t dead.

Then…

Finally, Tiangu looked in Fate Realm’s direction. He couldn’t see the ongoing battle, but he saw the crimson clouds and the blood rain. He saw that burst of source qi. He saw the crimson beam. He saw the phenomenon of a dead expert.

He was completely stunned. He couldn’t control himself. The battle had barely started. It might feel like a long time had passed, but some people were still on their way to join the various battlefields. All in all, the battle had only lasted twenty seconds thus far.

And then…a top marquis of the immortal race seemed to have perished. It wasn’t Talisman King. It wasn’t Tiangu himself. In that case, it must be a different Daofuse. That different Daofuse could only be Fallen Star Marquis.

But why did he die so silently? There wasn’t as much as an angry roar from him. There wasn’t as much as a warning from him.

Not a single Daofuse had died such a sorry death before. No, the golden peng had died a similar death. But Tiangu remembered that even the golden peng had managed to roar once before dying.

But a super expert like Fallen Star Marquis had died without a sound, as though he had gritted his teeth in patience until the very end.

“Impossible!”

Finally, Tiangu woke up from his reverie. He pushed Soy Bun back with a palm strike before yelling, “Impossible!”

How was that possible? There must be a misunderstanding somewhere! The laws must have been confused! How was this possible? The battle had just started. How could Fallen Star Marquis die so soon? Nobody would have noticed anything if it weren’t for the heavenly phenomenon.

“The laws must be confused…definitely!”

He muttered in denial.

Unlike Soldier King, Fallen Star Marquis was not an injured expert. He also wasn’t a Daofuse who had advanced after the ancient past. He was an expert even among the ancient marquises. Tiangu could accept the marquis dying after a world-shaking battle.

But a silent death like this? Tiangu couldn’t accept it!

***

Tiangu wasn’t alone in his disbelief.

Near Fallen Star Marquis, Devilroil Marquis and Abyss Marquis were clueless about Fallen Star Marquis’ fate up until the very end. When the phenomenon finally appeared, Devilroil Marquis looked up in confusion. Was it raining?

He had not sensed the desperate struggle of Fallen Star Marquis. It felt as though a powerful ancient marquis had been eliminated just like that. Devilroil Marquis blanked out. Who died? Even after seeing the phenomenon, nobody related it to Fallen Star Marquis. It was simply too ridiculous a thought.

With his patient dao, Great Zhou King had killed Fallen Star Marquis in no time with several other experts. Everyone was in disbelief. Even Su Yu found it ridiculous. He had been unaware until the very end as well.

He had thought that Great Zhou King’s battle had yet to start as he hadn’t even sensed any intense fluctuations from their side. After all, Great Zhou King had laid down a formation right after arriving before covering the area with his calm character. Thus, the battle there had progressed in silence. If it weren’t for the phenomenon, nobody would have realized that someone was dead.

Su Yu was able to recover from his reverie almost instantly.

Dead.

Then, his shock turned into nonchalance. He only needed to know that the dead expert was not one of his. That was enough. He launched another pen-blade.

The pen-blade headed straight for Devilroil Marquis’ dao. Due to Devilroil Marquis’ delay in reacting to the attack, his dao cracked, forcing him to take a step back. Instantly, numerous thoughts appeared in his mind.

They couldn’t keep fighting anymore! Something went wrong! But just as that thought crossed his mind, five experts appeared around him.

“Die!”

Su Yu and Hou Pseudo Emperor hurriedly joined the encirclement and attacked with all their power as well.

Finally!

The five who had killed Fallen Star Marquis had arrived. Now, it was seven against one. Devilroil Marquis could no longer laugh. Desperation was all he could feel.

He looked into the distance, looking at Abyss Marquis, who was busy fighting the Spatial Beast Pseudo Emperor and Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor. Abyss Marquis seemed to be in disbelief as well. And when he looked further away, he saw the Celestial Dragon Marquis rushing over with three ancient race experts. They weren’t far away.

In fact, they were very near. Near enough to reach in around seven to eight seconds. A battle between experts didn’t usually take long, but it would probably take longer than a few seconds, right?

But Devilroil Marquis knew very well that he might not even last that long. He was faced with seven experts, with some who felt even stronger than him. The weaker ones were also only slightly weaker than the others. That included Su Yu, who was weaker yet definitely not someone he could kill easily.

“No, this isn’t real. Why are there two additional peak Daofuses among them?”

He couldn’t understand this.

Why?

Where did they come from? He had never heard of this. Alas, it was too late for regret.

“Be patient!”

Once again, Great Zhou King chanted.

“Seal!”

The book spirit roared.

“Sky Sundering Saber!”

“Die!”

“I’ll stab you to death!”

“Sky Devouring!”

The seven experts roared one after another as they attacked with all their strength. After killing one ancient marquis, they were already exposed. Thus, they could only prioritize using all their strength to kill Devilroil Marquis as quickly as possible.

Not to mention Devilroil Marquis, this was a group that could threaten even a heavenly king. Despair and bitterness covered Devilroil Marquis’ face.

Holy shit!

He was going to die.

He had lived for countless years. Never had he imagined that he would die in such a manner.

Staying patient?

Be patient despite all the pain and suffering?

Be patient and stay silent?

All sorts of thoughts invaded his mind.

No, he wanted to be stubborn once! He was a supreme expert! How could he allow some dao to influence his thoughts?

And thus, his devil qi surged as he roared, “I refuse to be patient! This hurts! I don’t accept this!”

Boom!

The seven attacks landed.

The very sky above them shattered.

A dao snapped, and the world trembled.

Next, a Mark of Civilization appeared and swallowed everything, leaving only the crimson clouds and blood rain in the sky.

Two ancient fossils, two powerful marquises, had died just like that. Even the seven who were responsible for this feat blanked out at how easy it felt. Wasn’t this a bit too fast?

Further away, Abyss Marquis paled and hurriedly fled toward the Fate Realm without any hesitation. Yes, help was coming. But so what? The two powerful marquises had died. Nobody had expected this. Was he supposed to stay and die as well?

Right at that moment, an old man with white hair appeared. He looked at Su Yu’s group and Abyss Marquis. Shock covered his face. The two marquises had died just like that? Not even he had seen this coming.

Fine. He finally had his answer. He wanted to live for at least a few more years. The Upper Realm? What? Why should he care? At present, humanity enjoyed absolute domination down here. He needed to lend them a hand. And thus, he blocked the entrance to the Fate Realm.

With several drops of his blood essence, he sealed the entrance and said, “I will check the entrance to the Upper Realm and try to strengthen the seal to prevent more people from descending. The deaths of two Daofuses will definitely cause an uproar up there. You’re welcome.”

He vanished before Su Yu could reply. Just leave the Fate Realm alone. He was worried that the Fate Realm would be blasted apart by these lunatics.

Just fight outside. Abyss Marquis’ path of retreat had been blocked. He would even check the entrance to the Upper Realm for them. He would make sure that no new expert would descend for the time being.

While flying toward the entrance to the Upper Realm, Fate Pseudo Emperor’s heart thumped violently. That was so scary! He was very strong. Stronger than Fallen Star Marquis. But the two marquises were no weaklings. How could he not be afraid?

A split second later, Abyss Marquis crashed into the barrier on the entrance. Despair covered his face. He only needed a tiny bit of time to break through the barrier. After all, the barrier wasn’t too powerful.

Alas, time was the one thing he didn’t have right now. He wasn’t facing only seven Daofuses. Rather, he was facing nine of them! He had to face even more opponents than Devilroil Marquis!

Nine of them!

And he was weaker than Devilroil Marquis.

He roared, “I surrender! I submit! Don’t kill me!”

“Die!”

With one roar by Su Yu, the nine Daofuses attacked. Submit his ass! Why would they want him? Three ancient marquises? Die. Die, everyone!

“Be patient!”

Once again, Great Zhou King’s voice rang out. Everyone shivered when they heard his voice. They couldn’t help but acknowledge that this was a sinister and scary opponent to face.

This was one who could force someone to stay patient even when someone was being killed. What a cruel way to kill someone!

“Die!”

Boom!

The sky shattered yet again. With nine of them working together, Abyss Marquis stood no chance.

With a rumble, Abyss Marquis died before he could even say anything. His body was reduced to dust, and his dao collapsed. More crimson clouds covered the sky, and the rain of blood grew heavier. His phenomenon was quite massive as well, but like the previous two, he had died silently.

Once again, the Mark of Civilization swallowed everything. When the dust settled, they only saw a black hole running through the Fate Realm. They hadn’t been able to hold back. As a result, they had blasted even the realm entrance into void.

The battle against three ancient marquises had ended in less than one minute.

All were killed.

Throughout the Allheaven Battlefield, the various battles stopped. The Celestial Dragon Marquis and the ancient race Daofuses were not even a hundred kilometers away, but they all turned tail and fled without any hesitation.

Fear covered their faces.

What was going on?

Three ancient marquises had died in less than a minute!

***

Even further away, Tiangu blanked out again. Suddenly, he yelled with desperation, “Withdraw! Everyone, withdraw!”

“Retreat!”

“Do it now!”

“Attack the Human Realm!”

That final shout was meant to force Su Yu and the others to return.

Three marquises had died in the blink of an eye. If they didn’t withdraw now, even Celestial Dragon Marquis and the others would die. But his reminder was pointless. The various experts were already fleeing.

As for those who were already near the Human Realm, they gnashed their teeth and continued. They aimed to force Su Yu’s group to return before fleeing. The three ancient race Daofuses who had just decided to side with the myriad races were fleeing with boundless fear.

All of them were shouting inwardly. How did three marquises die so easily? Wasn’t victory guaranteed for them? Was everything a lie? Were those three really marquises? They must be fake marquises!

The ancient race Daofuses couldn’t accept this. Those three were considered elites even during the ancient past. How could they die so easily?

***

Boundless void.

Heavenly Overseer Marquis, who had just appeared, turned around without any hesitation. Further away, Bountiful Treasure also turned around with horror in his face. Inwardly, he was thinking of a way to contact the humans. He had decided to surrender.

He was earnest in this. That was way too fast. Su Yu’s group had showcased an astonishing level of strength. Three marquises had been killed so quickly. If the myriad races had been allowed to gather up, the battle wouldn’t have ended so easily for the humans.

The two sides were supposed to be evenly matched. Humanity had deployed two additional Daofuses, but the myriad races had gained five additional Daofuses. But three marquises had been killed before the myriad races could even come together.

Why? Because Su Yu was the one who had seized the initiative. He also had the advantage of intelligence. He knew more than the myriad races. The battle had ended as abruptly as it had started. The myriad race experts fled madly.
