Tribulation of Myriad Races

Under Tiangu’s lead, the myriad races started their push forward. The immortal race was serving as the vanguard. Su Yu had to admit that at times, Tiangu was incredibly courageous and decisive. Even after numerous losses in the Lower Realm, he did not lose the courage to fight.

Despite the heavy losses, he had still won the leadership position among the Lower Realm myriad races. For a period of time, Tiangu became the shot-caller of the three major races in the Lower Realm. The level of unity wasn’t too high, but for the most part, he could lead everyone.

Thanks to him, even the Upper Realm myriad races changed their reactive stance to a proactive stance.

***

Deep inside the Chaos Mountain.

The kingdom amid mountains.

The kingdom was surrounded by two layers of defenses. One layer was comprised of the chaos beasts led by the tiger and dragon. The other layer was comprised of Yue Hao and the others. In total, there were nine Venerables and fifteen heavenly kings present. This was a considerable number of powerhouses.

Even now, more chaos beasts were arriving from the chaotic space. They had all been called over by the chaos will. The dragon and tiger had solemn expressions. The myriad races were finally advancing.

They had thought that the myriad races would not react so quickly. However, they had still moved with a large number of powerhouses. Behind the defensive perimeter.

Yue Hao had a solemn look as he said to Yue Luo, ”The myriad races are surprisingly decisive this time.”

This was truly surprising for them. According to their intelligence reports, the myriad races were supposed to be filled with internal struggles.

Yue Luo gazed into the distance and said, ”It’s the immortals. Look. The immortals are leading the charge. It must be Tiangu. By offering the immortals as the vanguard, he persuaded the myriad races to move.”

Tiangu.

As someone who had ruled the immortal race for a hundred thousand years, he was quite well-known. He was the top-most genius of his generation at the end of the ancient past. However, his cultivation had remained stuck for many years as he had insisted on cultivating the immortal emperor dao.

With the appearance of numerous Venerables in the Upper Realm, this ruler of the immortals started falling behind. And now, he had arrived at the Upper Realm.

Yue Luo looked at the myriad races before looking at a different direction. Su Yu’s group was waiting there. This was another group of thorny opponents. Together, Su Yu and the myriad races had sixteen Venerables on their side.

Even Yue Luo was starting to feel the pressure. She said, ”The Ancestor must take the field as well. Otherwise, we might not be able to stop their advance. Corona and Sacred Marquis aren’t weak. Su Yu is no pushover either. I can stop one of them. You can stop another with the chaos beast body you control. But we don’t have anyone capable of stopping the third person.”

It was clear that they wouldn’t be a match without their Ancestor. Control King’s lineage had revealed a terrifying level of strength. But now, it seemed insufficient. Since Yue Luo could sense the approaching crisis, Yue Zhan could naturally feel the same.

His hair was whipping about madly as he continued working on the gate. He still had some powerhouses around him, but all of them were heavenly kings. All the Venerables had been deployed.

Since their emergence, they had deployed a total of eight Venerables. But that was clearly not enough. None of them had expected this.

Yue Zhan ordered, ”The rest of you, join the battle.”

With that command, four heavenly kings set off without any hesitation. All seven Venerables and sixteen heavenly kings on their side had been deployed.

Yue Zhan cursed inwardly. If Su Yu hadn’t killed a Venerable and many heavenly kings of theirs previously, they would have been able to deploy more than twenty heavenly kings this time.

”Senior Sister!” Looking at the gate, he said, ”We are at least four hours to completion.”

That was too slow.

Yue Zhan sighed regretfully. They were so close. ”We’re unlucky. I don’t know if this is a result of having our fortune stripped by Su Yu.”

That was truly unlucky. They were so close. For some reason, the myriad races were not dragging this out this time. This did not make sense. They were truly unlucky this time.

Yu Qing’s frosty voice rang out from behind the gate, ”Su Yu! He must die!”

How impudent of him! How dare he strip the title of their holy lord! Even if their holy lord no longer cared about that title, it still wasn’t something Su Yu could strip.

Yu Qing said, ”With the help of the chaos beasts, you can keep them busy for some time. Yue Zhan, the gate requires more energy to open. If we have to, start offering sacrifices.”

Yue Zhan’s voice turned heavy. ”Sacrifice? This...”

”Obey.”

Yue Zhan felt greatly helpless. After giving it some thought, he said, ”Things are not completely helpless. Don’t worry, Senior Sister. We will speed things up. We will be able to block them as well.”

”Good.”

Yu Qing had nothing else to say. As long as she could leave the gate, she could handle two or even three top-tier Venerables alone. She would have no issue facing both Venerable Corona and Sacred Marquis all by herself.

With those two out of the way, Yue Zhan alone could handle two or three of the other Venerables. With this, it would only be a matter of time before Su Yu and the myriad races were wiped out.

”Stop!”

With one order from Tiangu, the entire army stopped. Behind him, hundreds of Daofuses stood, their auras surging into the sky.

Looking at the tiger and dragon, he said, ”If the two of you are really serious about working with us, this is your chance. Join us and kill them. Let’s kill the Master of Law together.”

At that, numerous expressions changed. Yue Hao and the others looked at the tiger and dragon with shock. Meanwhile, the tiger nearly cursed out loud.

Fuck!

Why was this bastard exposing them?

The tiger said, ”Are you trying to sow discord between us? We are here to answer the call of chaos. You can’t change our minds so easily.”

Tiangu remained calm as he said, ”Your stance has been very vague. You seem close to us, but you also seem close to Control King’s lineage. This is your opportunity. Whatever goal you have, join us and we’ll treat you as allies. This is our chance to exterminate the sinned lineage. Don’t even dream of fishing in troubled water. It’s no longer possible.

”If you’re really unwilling to join us, you can retreat. I don’t need your help. But be sure to stay away from us.”

Venerable Moon and the others had odd expressions as they listened. They had reached an agreement with the tiger and dragon. The two were supposed to turn against Control King’s lineage during a critical moment.

But Tiangu seemed suspicious of them as he had exposed the two right away. It was only natural for Tiangu to not trust them. The two had been acting in a very problematic manner.

He no longer needed them to stab Control King’s lineage in the back during a critical moment. He only needed the two to join them now. With the chaos beasts, myriad races, and Su Yu’s group, they would have sixteen Venerables and over twenty heavenly kings. That was more than enough to defeat Control King’s lineage head-on.

What was the point of all those schemes if they could win directly? What was the point of wasting the lives of their Daofuses against these chaos beasts? Even prior to this, he had found the act pointless. Unfortunately, his words did not carry much weight earlier.

Now that he was in charge, he was forcing the two to make their position clear. Who would the two side with? The expressions of the tiger and dragon turned unsightly. The humans were treacherous, but clearly, the immortals were not good people either. They wanted to fish in troubled water, but the immortals were not giving them the chance.

Prior to this, they had reached an agreement with Venerable Moon to switch sides during a critical moment. It was up to them when the so-called critical moment was. There was no need for them to fight seriously.

The tiger cursed inwardly. Bastards, the lot of them!

Earlier, Su Yu tried to kill them for real even though it was supposed to be an act. And now, Tiangu was forcing them to make their position clear. What were they supposed to do now?

Tiangu said, ”I don’t care about your goal. Prior to this, you agreed to help us during the critical moment. The critical moment has arrived.”

”Eight-winged tiger!” The axe-wielding powerhouse from Control King’s lineage said furiously, ”You are here on chaos will’s behest. Are you going to betray chaos itself?”

Things would get very troublesome for them if even the two turned on them. Furthermore, the two were also leading a large number of chaos beasts.

***

Even further away.

A mocking smile hung on Su Yu’s face.

Heavenly Fate Marquis gasped with amazement and said, ”Tiangu...is indeed unlike anything we can expect.”

Tiangu had exposed the two beasts right before the battle. That was beyond anyone’s expectation. The rest of them had assumed that they would battle as usual. The two chaos beasts would only switch sides during a critical moment, catching the Master of Law by surprise. But the entire plan was now ruined.

Su Yu laughed and said, ”This is a good decision. A smart choice. They can’t place their hope on the two chaos beasts. You never know how things might develop. Now, the sinned lineage will no longer trust the two even if they refuse to join the myriad races. This isn’t a bad move.”

As far as Su Yu was concerned, Tiangu had done the right thing. At present, they were superior to their enemies. They could always face their enemies head-on.

Su Yu smiled as he waited for the two beasts to make their choice.

***

What choice would they make?

Wasn’t it obvious? The eight-winged tiger was a cultured tiger. And a cultured person would always know the right choice to make. Originally, he wanted to fish in troubled water. Since that was no longer possible, well, Su Yu’s group and the myriad races were the stronger side. What else could his choice be?

The tiger flew out and said, ”You’re Tiangu, right? You fool...fine, fine. We intended to mingle among them to better help you. But you’re too stupid to appreciate my good intentions.”

With a roar, he led more than ten chaos beasts toward the myriad races. To the side, the dragon roared and left with more than ten chaos beasts as well.

Dozens of chaos beasts were left behind. They were struggling violently, but they didn’t follow the two. Clearly, these were the chaos beasts that had fallen under deep control of chaos will.

There were even three heavenly kings among them. One of them was a gigantic snake. The snake demanded furiously, ”Why? We are here because of the chaos will. Chaos is returning. The world shall return to chaos. Why are you betraying us?”
