Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu couldn’t be bothered to worry about what Venerable Dragon was thinking. He only knew that his plan was going smoothly. As expected, he only needed to go straight into the Chaos Mountain after robbing the dragon. The others had given up on the pursuit as it simply wasn’t worth it. In the end, Venerable Dragon was the only one who had suffered.

However, it wasn’t even a big loss. It was only a weapon. If he were to give chase...Well, giving chase alone was the same as throwing his life away. But the others wouldn’t join him as they still wanted Su Yu as their vanguard. Thus, the dragon could only swallow his anger.

”This feels great!”

Giant Axe was roaring with laughter. This felt great. They had given Venerable Dragon a beating before robbing his weapon, and the myriad races didn’t even dare to do anything about it. This was such an amazing feeling. The group of seven continued flying ahead, all of them in a great mood.

Fat ball spat the mountain brimming with dao heritage out before compressing it into a smaller version. He wagged his tail and said, ”Here! We got it!”

Su Yu looked over and smiled before sending Heavenbridge a voice transmission, ”Take it. Find a chance to send it to Grand Dream.”

With this, Grand Dream’s advancement into a Venerable was guaranteed. He would gain another Venerable in his camp. Heavenbridge was somewhat unwilling to accept this task. He did not want to leave. However, he had to obey. At worst, he could return immediately. He still had many things to do here.

Did Yue Luo have a Hell Gate? That Ancestor definitely had one. The other Venerables probably had their own gates as well. Heavenbridge felt that he could become a Venerable as well if he could eat all those gates. This was such an amazing feeling. He wouldn’t dare to eat the main Hell Gate as he would probably end up dead. But these projections were incredibly nourishing for him.

With all that in mind, he took the mountain into his gate. He was still in a good mood. He was indeed living well by following Su Yu around. He was already a heavenly king, and Venerable wouldn’t be out of reach either.

The group crossed the river and went deeper into the Chaos Mountain. Even at their speed, they required a minute or two to reach the depths of the mountain. This travel time was what they had relied on to give Yue Qin’s group a beating previously.

Since a surprise attack was no longer possible, they were in no rush. After a while, they started slowing down. That was because they could already sense the auras of their opponents ahead of them.

***

About a minute later, the two parties were about ten thousand meters away from each other. They gazed upon each other from afar. Four Venerables with Yue Luo as the leader stood before him. There were also twelve heavenly king auras among that group. Additionally, there were also over forty Daofuses there.

This was an impressive display of power. One ought to know that prior to this, Su Yu had killed a Venerable, seriously injured Yue Hao, and killed five heavenly kings. But even after that, they still had so many powerhouses to deploy. There was also that Ancestor and a Master of Law waiting behind the gate.

This time, Yue Luo was a lot more solemn than before. As her hair whipped about, she coldly said, ”Su Yu, must you insist on acting as the dog of the myriad races? The conflict between the human race and the holy race is merely an internal conflict. Why let the myriad races benefit from our clash?”

Su Yu chuckled.

”Internal conflict?”

Su Yu roared with laughter, ”Are you worthy? Aren’t you calling yourself the holy race? I have declared you a race of sinners. We are not of the same race anymore. How audacious of you to kill my people.”

He was being very unreasonable. The Control King Venerables had ashen expressions. Killing his people? Su Yu had killed dozens of Daofuses, five heavenly kings, and one Venerable from their side previously.

Not long ago, he had heavily injured Yue Hao. They should be the ones furious. Not him. But now, Su Yu was the one going after them relentlessly. This was intolerable. Those from Control King’s lineage were furious. One powerful aura after another erupted.

Both sides had the same number of Venerables, but Control King’s lineage had a bigger number of heavenly kings and Daofuses. Strictly speaking, heavenly kings and Venerables were at the same cultivation level. In combat, two or three heavenly kings were enough to match a Venerable.

However, Yue Luo’s group was wary of the myriad races. They wanted to drag this out as long as possible as well.

Beside Yue Luo, an old man coldly said, ”Su Yu, if we fight, you will all die so long as the myriad races are a little bit late. Why serve as their vanguard? They would have attacked long ago if they had the courage. Right now, they only want to profit from the sides while others fight. You are a human lord. Why are you being so brash?”

Su Yu laughed, ”I have a simple demand. Kill Yue Hao...”

He pointed at Yue Luo and continued, ”And her. Oh, right, there’s another woman...”

Su Yu searched the crowd. His gaze settled on Yu Xi, who was standing amid the heavenly kings. He pointed at her and said, ”And her as well. Kill all three as payback for the lives of my subordinates, and I’ll leave you alone.”

That would never happen. Those from Control King’s lineage were furious. Two Venerables and one heavenly king. How could they kill such individuals just because Su Yu was demanding it? How could they continue standing tall after agreeing to such a demand? Su Yu was demanding the impossible.

A Venerable with an axe in hand said, ”Why bother wasting time with them? Let’s kill them all.”

He roared, ”Eight-winged tiger and chaos dragon. Are you going to keep sitting on the sidelines? Don’t forget that this matter is very important to both of you as well.”

Chaos beasts roared. Shortly after, powerhouses flew out from the north and south. On one side, the tiger led a group of over forty Daofuses. On the other side, the dragon led a group of roughly fifty chaos beasts. The two groups were incredibly powerful. The two leaders were also emanating powerful auras.

The eight-winged tiger’s voice rang out, ”Humans, we are unwilling to make an enemy out of you. Retreat, and we can leave each other alone.”

Right at that moment, a large number of Daofuses soared from among the myriad races. Sacred Marquis’ voice rang out, ”Worry not, Human Lord. We will stop these chaos beasts.”

Since they wanted Su Yu as their vanguard, they had to act appropriately. The moment the chaos beasts appeared, a tacit understanding had been reached. Both the chaos beasts and myriad races would stay out of this battle.

Yes. This was the result of the negotiation conducted by Heavenly Fate Marquis and Venerable Moon. They had agreed to engage in a standoff with each other to keep the covers of the chaos beasts.

The myriad races were still of the impression that Su Yu was unaware of their agreement with the chaos beasts. But Su Yu knew everything. This was precisely what he wanted. That way, he didn’t need to worry about the chaos beasts.

***

Yue Luo’s expression changed slightly.

The myriad races had not joined the fight, but they had acted to stop the chaos beasts. In a way, this would still weaken Control King’s side. Should they still move against Su Yu’s group?

They had twelve heavenly kings, nine more than Su Yu’s side. With their numerical superiority, they would definitely win. But attacking now would trigger the battle. They much preferred dragging things out.

That was also the order they had received from the Ancestor. To drag things out as long as possible. It would be even better if they could drag things out until Supreme Yu Qing was out.

Su Yu was also waiting. He was in no rush. He needed their Master of Law to be present for the main show to start. The appearance of the Master of Law would also allow him to observe the choice of the tiger and the dragon.

The two beasts were no friends of his. Anyone treating the two as friends would probably die very soon. The chaos beasts were either without any intelligence or intelligent. The tiger might look dumb while he was drinking soy sauce and quoting the quotes from the random books he had read, but he was most likely older than even Grand Dream.

”Focus on survival.”

Su Yu sent his people a voice transmission. Killing was not his priority here. Rather, life preservation was his priority.

”We’ll engage them in guerrilla warfare while trying to push nearer to their lair. That’s what they fear most now.”

With another order by Su Yu, Heavenbridge Marquis opened his gate. They all vanished inside as the air started rippling in the direction of Control King’s lair.

”Crack.”

”Seal!”

Several roars rang out as Yue Luo and the others shattered the space, revealing the spatial tunnel before them. More than ten heavenly kings attacked.

Boom!

The spatial tunnel collapsed, and Heavenbridge Marquis wailed in pain.

All seven of them were forced out of the tunnel.

Yue Luo’s cold voice rang out, ”You’re courting death. Su Yu, we didn’t want to fight you. But you’re seeking death! Formation!”

Numerous dots of light appeared in the Chaos Mountain. More than ten Daofuses roared and emerged from thin air. One formation after another manifested, turning into a net above the Chaos Mountain.

Giant Axe Marquis was someone with rich combat experience. The moment he saw the net, he roared, ”This is the Purgatory Formation! It is capable of sealing space itself! Be careful!”

That was a formation created to handle spatial powerhouses. With that formation in place, one would not be able to tear space apart or travel through space. It required eighteen Daofuses to be deployed.

As long as Heavenbridge Marquis couldn’t defeat eighteen Daofuses at the same time, he wouldn’t be able to break free of the formation. A normal heavenly king could only face five Daofuses at maximum. How was he supposed to face eighteen at once? Heavenbridge Marquis tried to open his gate again, and sure enough, it was ineffective.

His expression changed as he exclaimed in worry, ”Your Majesty!”

They were trapped. Sure enough, Control King’s lineage wasn’t easy to deal with. With this one move, Heavenbridge Marquis was stripped of his greatest advantage.

***

Far away, the myriad races and chaos beasts were still in a standoff.

The myriad races, in particular, took great note of what was happening. Sacred Marquis said, ”Purgatory Formation, a specialty of Control King. It is an extremely difficult formation to break. Sure enough, they have been busy all these years. The entire Chaos Mountain is filled with their formations.”

This was the benefit of having Su Yu serve as their vanguard.

They only needed to watch as Control King’s lineage was forced to reveal one contingency after another. This would give them the time to plan and find a solution for these contingencies. This would reduce a lot of casualties when it was time for them to attack.

An eye appeared on Heavenly Fate Marquis’ forehead as he gazed upon the battlefield. He solemnly said, ”Su Yu’s group might not be able to withstand this group. Their opponents are superior to them. And now, even their freedom of movement has been removed.”

The furious Venerable Dragon said, ”Good. With four Venerables, they can still kill a large number of people before dying. Su Yu and his people are all assholes. They should all die. We will profit so long as they can kill a few Venerables before dying.”

He did not intend to help Su Yu’s group.

Die. All of them should die.

The others remained silent, but they shared the same thought. They wanted Su Yu to fight Control King’s lineage to the death. They had enough Venerables and heavenly kings to drag a few Venerables down before dying. It wasn’t like Su Yu and his people were weaklings.
