Tribulation of Myriad Races

With his Heaven Gate open, Su Yu focused on the converging chaos qi around Dou Ke. Then, a fierce clump of flame rose.

”Ahhhhhhh!”

A mournful wail rang out.

”Save me!” Dou Ke roared with desperation.

Including the three Daofuses Su Yu had forced to self-detonate, seven Daofuses had died since the start of this battle. Daofuses were dying like bugs.

Not far away, Zi Shui roared and forcefully sealed Soy Bun away. But before she could pull away to assist Dou Ke, Soy Bun chomped down in her path, blocking her attempt to break free from him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The furious Zi Shui rained attacks down on Soy Bun, causing Soy Bun to cough burst after burst of dao power out. That was his unique version of coughing blood. The battle had reached a terrifying level of intensity right after it started.

Both sides were fighting with all their strength right away without bothering with probing attacks.

”Die!”

While the furious flames raged on, Su Yu sent a penblade out, shattering space itself apart with the might of the attack.

Boom!

With a loud rumble, Dou Ke’s damaged body was completely cut into nothingness. His sea of willpower transformed into a projection of his body. With a look of madness, he detonated himself with his remaining strength. A massive explosion erupted, sending shockwaves in all directions.

”Hehehe...For daring to kill me, die!”

Boom!

Su Yu was sent flying with a badly damaged body.

”Dou Ke!”

Several heavenly kings roared in fury. Dou Ke was dead! A heavenly king had died! It hadn’t even been that long since the start of the battle.

Su Yu coughed blood, coughing even some chunks of flesh from his torn organs out of his mouth. Inwardly, he was greatly alarmed. This was indeed not a lineage to be underestimated.

After suffering heavy injuries from four self-detonations, Dou Ke had opted to self-detonate instead of fleeing. It had been quite a while since Su Yu last faced an opponent so decisive. For a moment, he felt as though he was looking at Zhou Hao.

This was clearly the ruthlessness one could only gain by growing through countless battles with ferocious beasts.

How crazy.

In short, the price for Dou Ke’s life was the lives of three Daofuses and serious injuries of a Daofuse and a pseudo king like Su Yu.

Boom!

While Su Yu was in thought, Soy Bun was stabbed through by his opponent’s sword. His entire body was left hanging on the sword while the look in his eyes slowly turned blank. A tiny bit of regret could be seen in those eyes as well. He had yet to...eat Tiangu.

”Liar...that guy...promised that...I would eat Tiangu...”

He looked at the distant Flatbun longingly. He couldn’t bear to part from this world.

But...he was dying.

Su Yu had successfully killed a heavenly king, but Soy Bun was also no match for the heavenly king he was fighting. Not only was his opponent strong, but this opponent was also incredibly ferocious. Clearly, this was someone with plenty of experience in combat.

”Soy Bun!”

With an alarmed roar, Su Yu shot over.

Zi Shui, who had just stabbed her sword through Soy Bun, had a look of boundless fury in her eyes. Noticing Su Yu’s approach, her eyes gleamed ruthlessly as she swung the sword at Su Yu without bother to pull it out of Soy Bun’s body.

Waves of baleful qi rippled out of the sword.

Boom!

Instantly, Soy Bun burst apart. He was too deep inside the Chaos Mountain to make use of the power of the River of Time. He was also too far away to borrow from Culture King’s power in the past. In any case, it wasn’t like he could still do so after borrowing from Culture King once.

As his body burst apart, shockwaves of dao power rippled out, as Soy Bun had always been a dao incarnate. Instantly, the Mark of Civilization swept over and absorbed everything. At the same time, a fake dao inside the Mark of Civilization snapped.

Rumble!

With that, more fireworks bloomed in the sky right after Dou Ke’s fireworks bloomed. Top experts were dying left and right. The chaos lineage had lost a heavenly king while Su Yu’s side had lost Soy Bun.

The battle was cruel and desperate.

As Su Yu clashed with Zi Shui, he sent a voice transmission, ”Great Qin King, Great Xia King, self-detonate your bodies.”

Boom!

The two blanked out for a split second before their eyes gleamed ruthlessly. Were these people trying to out-crazy them? They had struggled for survival for over four hundred years. Were they the type to shrink from a desperate battle?

Rumble!

Instantly, they detonated their bodies, bodies forged from the powerful heavenly desolate beast’s dao. Instantly, six nearby Daofuses were torn apart. Five died instantly, leaving one gravely injured survivor. The sole survivor hurriedly fled in fear.

They finally realized that they had encountered a bunch of lunatics.

More fireworks bloomed in the sky.

Once again, the Mark of Civilization swept out. A projection emerged from the devil page, the same page that had consumed the corpse of the Master of Law Su Yu found previously. Instantly, the projection collected everything, including the seas of willpower of Great Xia King and Great Qin King. Not even the greatly injured Daofuse were able to escape.

At the same time, several fake daos in the Mark of Civilization snapped.

Even more fireworks were generated in the sky.

”Old Qin! Old Xia!”

Great Ming King wailed in fury. Dead? Were they dead?

Su Yu had ordered the two to self-detonate through voice transmission. Everyone could see that they had detonated their bodies, but the fireworks that had appeared right after convinced everyone that the two had died.

Were they really dead?

Even Su Yu looked shocked and furious as he roared, ”Damn it! Who told you to self-detonate?”

The two had self-detonated, killing six Daofuses in the process. Had they timed their self-detonation to extract the maximum value from it

Nobody could be sure. Those from the chaos lineage were greatly alarmed. A bunch of ruthless lunatics! The battle had just started, yet ten Daofuses and one heavenly king had died on their side.

Meanwhile, Su Yu had lost three peak Daofuses and three captured Daofuses. Both parties had suffered massive losses. Seventeen clumps of fireworks were blooming in the sky. The distance myriad race experts were greatly shocked. The three chaos lineage Venerables were greatly shocked as well.

Were the Torchbearers really that crazy? They were really fighting to the death. Seventeen top experts had died just like that. One ought to know that these individuals stood at the very top in the Myriad Realms.

Su Yu’s furious roar rang out again, ”Kill! We fight to the death! We won’t end this battle until one of us is fully defeated!”

Great Zhou King’s expression changed drastically.

”Everyone below the level of heavenly kings, self-detonate and kill your opponents!” Su Yu continued roaring in madness, ”Preserve your sea of willpower! I will try to save as many of you as possible!”

Those words further shocked everyone there.

Self-detonating? All of them?

But right after, numerous rumbles rang out.

The entire Chaos Mountain started shaking from the series of explosions.

Great Ming King, Heavendoom, Grandstar, and Flatbun and self-detonated right after receiving the order. They exploded with fury, madness, despair, resignation, and indignation.

Boom!

The chain of explosions was so sudden the chaos lineage couldn’t even react to it. In all their years fighting the ancient beasts of the Chaos Mountain, they had never experienced something like this.

They had never faced opponents so willing to self-detonate like this. After a slight hesitation, September gnashed his teeth and tossed himself at a nearby Daofuse before self-detonating as well.

Once again, the Mark of Civilization swept forth. In the chaos, nobody could see clearly. All they saw were the numerous fireworks blooming in the sky following these explosions.

One of the ancient human marquises roared, ”We need to withdraw! It is time to withdraw!”

Self-detonation?

What madness was this?

Withdrawal was still possible!

Had Su Yu lost his mind to all the slaughter?

The eyes of Su Yu, who was being pushed back repeatedly by Zi Shui, turned frosty. He had reminded them all to obey him unconditionally. He had ordered everyone below the level of heavenly kings to self-detonate. But the ancient marquises had disobeyed him.

He now knew for sure that previously, South Suppression Marquis had not self-detonated because of his suppression. Rather, South Suppression Marquis had opted to self-detonate for Hundred Battle King.

Among the ancient marquises, only Cloud Fire Marquis, Snow Orchid Marquis, and Southbrook Marquis were heavenly kings. The rest of them were all below that level. Instantly, eight experts were removed from Su Yu’s side. Only fifteen were left, with the majority of them being the ancient marquises and generals.

The rest of them were Su Yu, Great Zhou King, Lan Tian, Wan Tiansheng, Heavenbridge Marquis, and Fat Ball. Heavenbridge Marquis, in particular, had been given a different order not to self-detonate.

One third of them was gone in the blink of an eye.

On the chaos lineage’s side, there were about ten Daofuses left.

Su Yu roared again, ”Self-detonate!”

At his order, the expressions of the ancient humans changed again. The six of them were facing more than ten Daofuses from the opposing side. Riversea Marquis roared back, ”We can keep fighting, and we can also withdraw! It’s still possible!”

Yes. That was still possible. Things weren’t so hopeless that they had to all self-detonate.

”Self-detonate.”

Su Yu ordered again. The ancient humans said nothing and continued fighting their opponents with their teeth gnashed. Why should they self-detonate? They could still put up a fight! Why should they self-detonate in such a situation?

Among the ancient humans, Stable Army Marquis gave Su Yu another glance. A look of resignation covered his face as he sent Su Yu a voice transmission, ”Please protect my daughter. I...only represent myself.”

Boom!

He self-detonated.

To Stable Army Marquis’ side, Brave Martial General gave Su Yu a glance before looking at Cloud Water Marquis and the others. Alook of helplessness and melancholy covered her face as she realized that they had ultimately failed to fully trust each other.

After all, she, too, had hesitated.

Just what was Su Yu planning?

Boom!

Finally, she self-detonated.

This was too shocking.

A bunch of Daofuses had died so soon after the start of the battle. The number of active combatants on Su Yu’s side had been reduced by ten.

Only thirteen were left.

Naturally, the chaos lineage had suffered heavy losses as well. The self-detonations had caught them all by surprise. Only about seven or eight Daofuses were left out of the original thirty. These were the strongest of their Daofuses. The weaker ones had all died to the numerous explosions.

As they resumed their fight against Shadow Marquis and the others, they grew wary. They were worried that these people would self-detonate out of nowhere as well. These people were all lunatics.

This was the first battle between the two sides. There wasn’t even that much of a grudge and hatred between them. Why were these people detonating themselves in such a battle?
