Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu snorted coldly and said, “Do not spoil my plan. You won’t like the punishment. I don’t want a victory with high casualties. I want a perfect victory. We have the initiative here, and our overall combat power is also superior to theirs. Only a fool will lose three or four Daofuses to kill seven Daofuses in such a situation.

“This is our first battle together. If you can’t perform to my satisfaction, I suggest you fuck off and keep your competency for Hundred Battle King instead. I don’t need useless and disobedient people under me.”

Stable Army Marquis smiled helplessly. He felt his pride shattering. Su Yu had zero faith in him.

Su Yu looked at Great Zhou King and said, “As for the two of us, we will be killing our way from the dragon tail to the dragon head. Speed is of the utmost importance for this operation. We will be too fast for them to react. Use all your strength. Prioritize speed, even at the risk of sustaining some injuries.”

“Yes!” Great Zhou King nodded, “Don’t worry. Both of us are proficient at concealment and cheating the heavens. Killing a few tier four and five Daofuses won’t be an issue for us.”

Su Yu grinned. Ultimately, he still preferred working with people like Great Zhou King. Smart people were much easier to work with. Brutes were too troublesome to work with. They were only good for head-on battles.

They were bad at ambushes. They were bad at concealment. They were bad at teleportation. They were bad at sealing. Apart from fighting, they couldn’t do anything.

Su Yu kept grumbling about brutes inwardly. But with so many of them working together, they should be able to keep a tier-two Daofuse busy, right?

“Lan Tian, go. Lay in ambush between the head and neck.”

Su Yu checked the time and said, “We will act simultaneously in ten minutes. Remember, prioritize keeping your targets busy, not killing them.”

Su Yu warned sternly, “Lan Tian, you have pioneered your dao not long ago. You might not be that fellow’s match. If that’s the case, try to keep him busy. We will be there to help promptly. Our plan is flexible. We don’t need to kill all the other Daofuses before going to you.”

Lan Tian smiled and said, “I understand.”

Suddenly, he transformed into a little girl and giggled, “Big Brother Yu is the best!”

Then, he transformed into a young woman and complained, “Your Majesty, do you not trust me?”

“…”

Lunatic.

This was a serious matter!

Su Yu decided to not react and keep his cold expression. Next, Lan Tian transformed into a bearded old man and said sternly, “I understand.”

Meanwhile, Stable Army Marquis was greatly impressed by what he was witnessing.

Incredible.

For some reason, the Lower Realm had produced several lunatics this epoch.

“Move. Great Ming King, you will be concealing their presence with your formation.”

“Yes!”

With that, they split into three groups. Lan Tian headed toward the dragon head, the second group headed toward the dragon neck. As for Su Yu and Great Zhou King, they hid their auras and started moving toward the dragon tail.

The dao center of a tier-five Daofuse could be found there.

A tier-five Daofuse was essentially the level of a regular Daofuse, one that was slightly stronger than a newly advanced Three Body Daofuse. Meanwhile, Great Zhou King was near the level of a heavenly king and Su Yu was a tier-two Daofuse. Either of them could easily crush such an opponent.

Both were concealing their presences perfectly without much issue. They even had the leisure to engage in idle chatter. With a smile, Great Zhou King sent Su Yu a voice transmission, “Emperor Yu, this is our first time working together without anyone else.”

Su Yu thought about it and nodded.

That was indeed the case.

Great Zhou King continued, “Let us see how well we work together. Lan Tian may be strong, but I believe he’s too undisciplined. He’s good at operating alone, but it won’t be too easy to cooperate with him.”

Su Yu merely smiled without giving a reply.

The sky was starting to turn dark. But for experts at their level, that changed nothing. After some time, the two stopped near a dao center. From afar, they saw two characters hovering above the gate: Dragon Doom.

Su Yu grinned.

Great Zhou King chuckled and said, “What a good name. Let us do something fitting for this name. We’re around three hundred kilometers away from him. We can teleport over in a split second.”

Su Yu nodded.

He wasted no time and took a tiny stone out. When Great Zhou King looked at him, he did not explain anything. The stone was good enough to suppress a mere tier-five Daofuse. With the suppression of the stone and Great Zhou King’s patient dao, they could kill their target easily.

Suddenly, Su Yu asked, “Don’t you have any offensive powers?”

Was Great Zhou King bad at offense?

After a short silence, Great Zhou King replied, “Yes, but they are not at the level of a Daofuse. It’s not easy to bring a power or a character to the level of a Daofuse.”

It wasn’t that he didn’t have any offensive powers. However, they were weaker compared to his supportive powers.

Su Yu frowned and said, “This is quite a big weakness.”

“I don’t aim to be omnipotent.” Great Zhou King said, “There is a limit to what each person can do. Not everyone is like you, Emperor Yu. I have been focused on only two daos since the ancient past. Patient and calm.

“My patient dao is at the level of a Daofuse, but my calm dao is slightly weaker. I will be focusing on it for now. With both daos at the level of a Daofuse, I will be able to hide from all Daofuses. Even upon discovery, they won’t bother to react.”

Su Yu smiled and said, “I suppose you’ll focus on the space dao next. With that, you can escape upon encountering a heavenly king. Patient, calm, concealment, and teleportation. Interesting path, Great Zhou King.”

In short, he had an entire set of deceitful powers. He did not care about his offensive power. Then again, his chosen powers were all incredible. Just because he did not specialize in offensive powers did not mean that he was weak at offense. He would only be weaker in pure offense compared to those specializing in offense.

Great Zhou King smiled and said nothing. For him, true victory was the ability to survive until the end. His very existence was an example of this concept. By surviving until now, he was able to live long enough to finally witness the reversal of humanity’s fate.

Time passed slowly.

Ten minutes passed by before they knew it.

There were no furious roars. Instead, there was only a silent rift that had appeared out of nowhere. Two individuals stepped forth and vanished inside it. No sound was made when the two reappeared above the city.

Inside the city, a Daofuse opened his eyes.

The gigantic dragon soared into the sky and looked around in alarm and confusion. What was happening? Why was his danger sense reacting out of nowhere? Just then, two individuals appeared above him noiselessly. The two had maintained absolute silence as they moved.

At the same time, intense dao fluctuations erupted from the dragon neck. Dragondoom looked in the direction of the dragon neck with surprise. So was something happening there? How scary. He had thought that something was happening here.

Golden Dragon Marquis was strong, and Blood Dragon Marquis was nearby. Thus, Dragondoom was unworried. However, he was curious. Who was stupid enough to provoke Golden Dragon Marquis?

What madness was this?

Above, Su Yu swung his stone down at Dragondoom with all the strength he could muster.

Great Zhou King pushed his patient dao to its limit.

Be patient, little one.

This time, he wasn’t chanting.

Since this was an ambush, he had to stay silent.

He couldn’t risk anyone hearing him accidentally, right?

Finally, Dragondoom noticed the slight fluctuation above him. Just as he was about to look up, his motivation to do so vanished. He decided to be patient and still.

“Be still?”

Dragondoom was confused. Why should he be still?

There seemed to be something dangerous above him. Why should he be still?

Would he be fine if he didn’t react?

Boom!

With a rumble, the stone struck his massive head and suppressed him. With chaos power wrapped around his fist, Su Yu threw a punch.

Boom!

Instantly, a dao snapped. Then, Su Yu pointed at the hole on the dragon head, piercing through the sea of willpower inside. Almost immediately after, the Mark of Civilization appeared and devoured everything.

That was followed by the appearance of a spatial tunnel. With beads of sweat on his forehead, Great Zhou King teleported both himself and Su Yu to the next city. The rumble from Su Yu’s attack only reached the city below when the two were gone. The rumble rocked the city.

At the same time, a burst of dao power rippled out. Some confused Eternals flew out of the dao palace in the city. What was going on?

They looked around, but they saw nothing. Dragondoom’s corpse had been taken away by Su Yu. They only saw the wave of dao power spreading from the sky. All of them stared at the wave in confusion.

One of them asked curiously, “This isn’t the Dao Origin Land. Why is there such a large wave of dao power here? Is a masterless dao on the verge of appearing?”

At that, the Eternals grew excited.

No way…right?

This wasn’t the Dao Origin Land.

But why would so much dao power appear for no reason?

Unlike the Lower Realm, no crimson clouds would appear when Daofuses die in the Upper Realm. Rather, the death of each Daofuse would release a large amount of dao power. The fluctuations would be rather conspicuous, but it wouldn’t be so straightforward to determine if these fluctuations were the result of a death or some other reason.

The Eternals soared into the sky in excitement. One of them said, “Perhaps a masterless dao is really emerging! Where’s the dao master?’

Why was their dao master missing? These fluctuations were so massive it felt as though a Daofuse had died. Why was their dao master not reacting? Was he in seclusion? They didn’t recall that happening.

Just then, a gigantic dragon soared above the nearest city and roared in fury, “Who? Who dares to kill Dragondoom?”

“…”

Before long, the voice reached Dragondoom Dao Center. All the excited Eternals blanked out.

What?

Their dao master…dead? What joke was that? They didn’t notice anything happening. But when the Eternals looked around, they blanked out again. These fluctuations were quite similar to the phenomenon of a dead Daofuse. No way…Was their dao master really dead?

One of them said in disbelief, “This isn’t possible. None of us noticed anything. How could our dao master be…dead?”

Just then, yet another roar rang out. The roaring dragon was suddenly punched by a fist that had appeared out of nowhere.

Boom!

This time, the soundwaves were not delayed from spreading. The people from the second city and the Eternals of the first city all watched on as the head of the furious dragon burst apart.

Then, a gigantic palm covered the sky and crushed the sea of willpower inside the head. The corpse had barely started dropping from the sky before it vanished. In the blink of an eye, the gigantic dragon had gone missing. The second dragon had been killed instantly.

It hadn’t even been ten seconds, yet two Daofuses had been killed. The experts of both cities were completely stunned. This time, gigantic dragons appeared above the third, fourth, and fifth cities. All of them were in disbelief and fear. Two Daofuses had died instantly.

Suddenly, a rumble rang out as a blood dragon flew out from the city located at the dragon head. But not long after, a massive palm slapped the dragon, sending him flying far away, creating a trail of blood in the sky.

“Damn it!”

Everyone in the dragon territory heard Blood Dragon Marquis’ furious howl.

“Enemy attack!”

He roared.

His voice reached everywhere. Only then did the dragons realize that they were under attack. And this seemed to be an extremely dangerous attack. Two Daofuses had died, Blood Dragon Marquis had been ambushed, and Golden Dragon Marquis was being kept busy. Clearly, there was a heavenly king among the attackers.

“Enemy attack!”

Countless roars rang out as the three Daofuse dragons hesitated. Who should they help? Where should they go? The dragon tail? Or the dragon head?

Fortunately for the third dragon, he was saved the trouble of thinking too much. Two individuals appeared before him. Just as he was about to roar in fury, he decided to be patient and shut his mouth.

Boom!

Then, Su Yu bombarded the dragon madly. Waves of chaos power rippled out while the blood of the dragon dyed the sky itself red. After about thirty seconds, the dragon was turned into mincemeat.

A dao snapped.

Another Daofuse had fallen.

Three Daofuses had died in forty seconds.

The two Daofuses were still on the way to assist the third dragon, but they hurriedly turned around to flee instead.

Madness. Absolute madness.

Two peak Daofuses!

The two were terrified. Who were the attackers? Three Daofuses had died in the blink of an eye!

Far away, Blood Dragon Marquis roared, “Flee immediately!”

This was too much for them to handle. Three Daofuses had died before anyone could react. The attackers were too strong for them to face. Even he himself needed to flee.
