Tribulation of Myriad Races

A major battle had erupted in the Upper Realm.

Things were in chaos.

Of course, Su Yu was completely oblivious about that. He was too busy accelerating the speed of his dao pioneering. He felt greatly troubled. More and more chaos beasts were arriving.

Lan Tian, Tea Plant, and Fat Ball were killing off the chaos beasts as quickly as they could before tossing the corpses back to Great Ming King. Through these corpses, Great Ming King could create more formations to allow more people to enter without attracting more chaos beasts.

”Yin and yang, settle. Heaven and earth, come forth!”

Su Yu roared, ”Observe. Those not fighting, pay close attention! Do not allow anything to distract you. With enough strength, nothing is a distraction. Do you understand?”

He needed everyone to grow strong. He did not need them all to go face the chaos beasts for him. For now, there was no need for that. Hearing his words, everyone refocused. This was a very rare opportunity.

”To create the heaven and earth. To form a world.”

Boom!

A proper world finally took form. Five elements raged, yin and yang acted as the frame, and the world split into heaven and earth.

”Life and death. Yin and yang. Four divisions. Five elements. Eight divinations.”

The world continued growing, but Su Yu left the life and death daos untouched. Those were the hardest daos to handle. He weaved the various daos together, allowing them to flow in their own unique rhythm.

Boom!

A rain of lightning descended upon the newborn world, attempting to destroy it before it could grow further.

”Xing Yu! Settle!”

A massive token descended, stabilizing the new world.

With a ruthless gleam in his eyes, Su Yu decided to break Xing Yu’s token to further stabilize his world if needed. At the moment, the new world was already on the verge of breaking apart due to the attack by chaos.

”Steady, stable, solid, fix, suppress, pressure...”

Character after character was released, fusing into page after page. Then, the pages flew out to create multiple new daos with a stabilizing effect. So many daos were appearing that the observers in the Origin Land felt like they couldn’t keep up anymore.

It was quite surprising that Su Yu had indeed cultivated so many daos.

What a terrifying guy. He was still so young. How did he do this? Naturally, Su Yu was too busy to answer their questions. The various daos had yet to fully merge with the domain dao. The domain dao was still incomplete.

The newly formed stabilizing daos still existed independently.

Su Yu started weaving the stabilizing daos together in an attempt to form a new dao through them.

Even as he did that, he continued his explanation, ”The domain dao is incomplete. Life and death are still missing, but I will be leaving that aside for now. I will split my dao pioneering into three stages. Domain will be the start point. The myriad daos, culture, and radiance(culture + radiance = civilization) will act as the middle point. Eternity will act as the endpoint.”

Their hearts thumped.

It was unlikely that Su Yu was splitting the pioneering into three stages because that was what he wanted to do. Rather, he was doing that because he wasn’t confident he could perfectly complete everything at one go.

He wasn’t the type to delay laying down the life and death daos if he was really confident he could succeed.

Boom!

Another rumble rang out, but this time, it came from Lan Tian’s direction. A behemoth beast was approaching. The beast emanated an incomparably powerful aura. When their gaze landed on Su Yu, surprise flickered in their eyes. Then, it did something surprising: speaking in the common language. As they spoke, their voice rumbled like thunder.

”What a surprise. Truly a surprise. Someone is actually attempting Creation in this era.”

The behemoth beast resembled a tiger. However, the beast came with four pairs of wings. In truth, some of the races in the Myriad Realms could trace their origins to these chaos beasts. They had simply assimilated into the Myriad Realms, turning into a part of the myriad races.

For example, the iron devourers, spatial beasts, and hous were most likely former chaos beasts. The heavenly desolate beast was one such beast as well. If it had survived back then, it could have created a heavenly desolate beast race as well. And the behemoth beast was most likely the original form of the flying sky tiger race.

From how the beast was speaking the common language, it was clear this was not their first interaction with those from the Myriad Realms. They looked at Su Yu with surprise and said,

”Attempting Creation before even mastering the daos of the Myriad Realms. You are the weakest Creator I have seen.”

In short, they had seen more than one Creator before.

”It is only fair that you make this attempt since you have the ability to do so. The Myriad Realms have a saying that goes as such: severing one’s future is an unforgivable grudge.”

The tiger-like beast sighed and continued, ”However, you are attempting Creation in chaos. You are encroaching upon our territory. More and more worlds are created, and our living space is getting smaller and smaller. We can’t allow this to continue. At this rate, chaos might cease to exist in the future.

”We are not willing to assimilate into your so-called Myriad Realms. We prefer living freely in chaos. Why must we subject ourselves to the mercy of others? These so-called Created daos are merely shackles. Once you assimilate, you will no longer have your freedom.

”This is a dao conflict. We can’t allow you to succeed. We are filled with respect for any Creator as each Creator is a boundlessly talented being. Even so, we can’t let this happen.”

Instead of attacking right after arriving, the behemoth beast spoke in a refined manner. First, they explained their purpose clearly. This was a dao conflict. Su Yu was encroaching upon their territory. They could not allow that. They respected Su Yu’s talent, but they had to act against Su Yu.

Su Yu continued pioneering his dao while replying with a chuckle, ”You’re not wrong. But I’m not wrong either. This is an era of strife. I will proceed with my Creation. Chaos does not belong to you alone. It does not belong to anyone. It belongs to reality itself. You lack the courage to stop the Master of Time. You don’t dare to stop the Master of Death. But I’m a weakling. Thus, I shall suffer. But the same applies to you. Your weakness will be the reason for your defeat. None of us is wrong. We simply live in an era where the strong reign supreme.”

”That is a very reasonable argument.” The tiger nodded in agreement. That was in line with the belief of the chaos beasts. Only strength mattered.

”And thus, a fight is unavoidable.”

”Roar!”

With a roar, the tiger flapped their wings and shot toward Su Yu.

At the same time, the white dog grew until he was comparable to the tiger in size. Then, he howled, ”Go away!”

The gigantic white dog was baring his fangs and brandishing his claws like the most ferocious of beasts.

When the tiger saw the white dog, they exclaimed in surprise, ”A divine sun devouring hound? Didn’t you exit the chaos with an almighty human back then? Is that almighty human...gone?”

”Uh...” The white dog was confused. What was this guy talking about?

”You have regressed...” The tiger sighed. ”Back then, the divine sun devouring hound was incredibly mighty. But now...you aren’t even comparable with me in strength. I still remember the sight of you devouring multiple suns back then. How majestic. How mighty. What a surprise. Wait, are you not that hound? Are you a descendant of that hound?”

The tiger was not a Master of Law, but their aura was comparable to that of a Venerable. Or to be precise, they were no weaker than Yue Hao. After that short pause, they continued shooting forward.

”The top powerhouses of chaos have been sealed long ago. We are the remnants of the Chaos Era. Alas, the Chaos Era is no more. However, we won’t stop our resistance. We won’t allow you to continue encroaching upon chaos.

”This is our home. Divine sun devouring hound, I didn’t dare to face you back then. But if you insist on helping this Creator, I won’t spare you.”

A surprisingly large amount of information was contained within their words even though they hadn’t said too much. The chaos powerhouses had all been sealed.

Su Yu was listening attentively while pioneering his dao. Seeing that the talkative tiger was quite knowledgeable, he said, ”Were they sealed behind the Hell Gate? Is chaos attempting to return as well?”

”Of course.” The tiger said, ”The universe does not belong to you. It belongs to us. Everything shall return to chaos. Human, your race used to be a part of chaos as well. Is chaos not good? Are the Myriad Realms not enough for you? Why must you insist on creating more worlds?”

Everything originated from chaos. Evidently, humanity was no exception to that. After the Myriad Realms, the Upper Realm and Death Realm were created. The chaos beasts would naturally allow this to continue. They would not tolerate the creation of a new world.

And finally, the white dog and the tiger reached each other. An intense battle erupted. The combat prowess of the tiger was indeed every bit as powerful as their aura suggested. In the blink of an eye, the white dog was pushed back with a bloody wound on his body.

”You have truly regressed, divine sun devouring hound. Sure enough, assimilating with the Myriad Realms isn’t a good thing. Upon assimilation, you will lose your true self, turning into a tamed beast. You don’t even have your ability to devour suns anymore. All you can do is bite blindly. How sad. A pity.”

The tiger was incredibly strong. They were able to push the white dog back in the middle of a conversation. The white dog’s bite dao was offensive in nature, but it wasn’t too effective against the chaos dao. The chaos dao was essentially a combination of all daos, with an emphasis on the physical body.

One could say that the white dog’s dao was weak against the chaos dao. After all, he couldn’t sever the chaos dao since chaos was everywhere.

”Woof! Woof! Awooooo!”

The white dog howled in frustration before sending his shoe against the tiger.

The tiger was shocked to see that shoe. ”Is this the shoe of that almighty human? It is a treasure, but unfortunately, you only have half the pair. Have you regressed so much that you have to rely on an external treasure to face me? What a pity, divine sun devouring hound. Where is your past glory?”

The tiger seemed exceptionally talkative. Perhaps it had been quite a while since they found someone to converse with.

With an odd expression, Su Yu asked, ”You’re pretty fluent in the common language. Who taught you?”

”Am I?” The tiger laughed, ”I knew it! Know yourself, know your enemy, and emerge victorious in every battle. The chaos lineage will wage war against the Myriad Realms sooner or later. Someone ambitious like me naturally needs to understand my enemies. In fact, I know the human language as well.”

Then, the tiger started speaking in the human language, ”Hey, kid! Yes, I’m talking about you, you fuck! Stop being stubborn and cease your Creation! The dao of Creation is unnatural. Stop going against the natural order!”

”...”

What?

This tiger was actually decent at trashtalking.

When Su Yu looked at the gloomy white dog, he felt quite gloomy as well.

The white dog was too weak against the chaos dao.

Divine sun devouring hound?

So was the white dao supposed to cultivate the devour dao as well?

He had heard that Culture King had visited the iron devourers to get some ideas on how he should modify the white dog’s dao. In that case, was the white dog cultivating a modified version of his original dao?

Right at that moment, Su Yu started laying down the devour dao.

”Divine sun devouring hound...”

The white dog’s current dao was more suited for biting. That alligned with the records in the Book of Time. Of course, most of the records had been written jokingly. In truth, the so-called dao of biting was actually the act of devouring the opponent’s dao.

This was not a weak dao. In fact, it was quite powerful.
