Tribulation of Myriad Races

As the six Venerables attacked Purple Cloud Marquis, Su Yu laughed heartily. ”I dislike those who enjoy hiding for a long time before emerging to reverse the situation. Do you understand? Who are you learning from? Are you dreaming of reversing the situation? Kill her!”

Countless attacks rained down on Purple Cloud Marquis. Under such a bombardment, she couldn’t even self-detonate. Then again, that had never crossed her mind. Suddenly...Boom! Her body was blasted apart.

Instantly, chains, ropes, pen, and all sorts of sealing daos manifested from Su Yu’s hands to suppress her sea of willpower.

Under the desperate gaze of the devils, Su Yu pointed his pen forward.

Boom!

A dao trembled as a crack rang out. A hole appeared in the dao, and power started leaking. Pulling his pen back, Su Yu threw a punch, blasting the sea of willpower apart.

A storm raged in the sky.

The death could be felt even in the Lower Realm. The myriad daos shook, as though the sky was collapsing. This was a being who could truly advance into a Master of Law right after the restriction was removed. She had only emerged from her seclusion for...thirty seconds. And then, she was blasted apart and killed by Su Yu’s group.

The sight of that stunned numerous people.

Even Tiangu and the others were stunned. They weren’t too surprised to see six Venerables prevailing over one Venerable. Purple Cloud Marquis might be powerful, but not enough to handle all those people.

However, Su Yu had been holding back the entire battle. Everyone expected him to continue holding back to increase the losses of the other parties. But he did the opposite. Not long after saving Venerable Dragon, he killed Purple Cloud Marquis. He seemed capable of always doing the unexpected.

Why?

Nobody could understand him anymore.

As for Su Yu, he sighed with relief after killing Purple Cloud Marquis. Brow beaded with sweat, he looked around and smiled, ”My apologies. I have displayed a crude side to everyone here. But I hate people like this. They like to come out during the critical moment to act as the savior.”

As he said that, he glanced at Thunderstorm, causing Thunderstorm’s heart to thump violently. He knew what Su Yu was referring to.

Su Yu was not only talking about Purple Cloud Marquis, but Hundred Battle King and Hundred Battle King’s son as well. Su Yu was making it very clear that he would not spare these people if they had similar intentions.

They were not the main characters of this era. This was his show. Anyone attempting to derail things would be killed. Even if he had to expose his strength, he would do it.

Purple Cloud Marquis had died way too quickly. Nobody could process it yet. Furthermore, Su Yu had revealed a strength capable of handling Purple Cloud Marquis alone. He had played the main role in the suppression of Purple Cloud Marquis. The others had merely been playing the support role.

As his white hair fluttered in the wind, Su Yu flashed everyone a wide smile before looking at the kingdom amid the mountains. ”Are you done absorbing? So many Venerables have died, and you have been stealing my spoils of war all along. Have you gathered enough dao power? When are you coming out?”

Su Yu gazed upon the mountains, an indistinct gate in his vision. Yes. He had sensed something. He noticed a certain formation on the ground gathering the dao power and physical body power of all the dead.

Su Yu looked at Yue Zhan and sneered, ”Time for you to withdraw and stay on the defensive, boy. Enough people have died for your mama to come out. You sure are cold. You have been deliberately holding back to let all those people die. How impressive. You must have allowed the sword and axe wielders to die just so your mama can come out sooner.”

The expressions of some changed upon hearing that.

Yue Zhan shot Su Yu a cold look. He did not argue. Rather, he ordered, ”Withdraw.”

His people started withdrawing. Yue Zhan, Yue Hao, Yue Luo, the white-haired old man, the twins, and the two devils withdrew behind the defensive formation. The matron dragon projection withdrew as well. Of the more than ten heavenly kings they had, only about half were left.

The myriad races regrouped as well. All of them were panting heavily, and most were looking at Su Yu with odd expressions.

Tiangu asked, ”Is she out?”

Su Yu smiled, ”Soon.”

Tiangu frowned. ”Since you sensed it, why didn’t you stop it?”

Why didn’t Su Yu prevent the absorption of the dao power from the battlefield? None of them had sensed that happening.

Su Yu sneered and said, ”Fool. Why should I stop it? She will be forced to sacrifice some of her strength to come out earlier. If we slow things down, she will only come out stronger after consolidating more strength. So what if she’s out now?”

This was a decision Su Yu had made after thinking things through. In any case, the summoning wasn’t something one could stop easily. Yue Zhan and the others had prepared very well for it.

Su Yu said nothing else. The top powerhouses could withdraw speedily, but the rest would take some time. With several Venerables in his group, he was able to cut through the regular combatants easily. In the blink of an eye, he slaughtered more than ten chaos beasts and more than ten Daofuses from Control King’s lineage.

He collected all the corpses. As for the corpses of those from the myriad races, he left them all alone apart from the devil corpses. Tiangu and the others were also busy collecting corpses. They were doing it in a hurry, worried that Su Yu would collect everything if they were any slower.

Su Yu had collected quite a lot of corpses from this battle. Several Venerables had died. A decent number of heavenly kings had died as well.

As for those in Su Yu’s group, they suddenly felt as though they were undefeatable. They could kill anything they met, and the myriad races and Control King’s lineage were completely helpless against them. Thus, all of them were grinning ear to ear.

As the slaughter continued, the number of combatants in the battlefield dropped considerably. Right at that moment, an indistinct gate flickered deep in the mountains.

A woman clad in black armor could be seen behind the gate. It was clear that she would be able to step out soon. Her frosty voice rang out, ”Su Yu, you will be the first I kill after I’m out.”

Su Yu grinned, ”Bring it on. If I don’t kill you today, I will stop calling myself Su Yu. Nobody fights me over her. She’s mine. Are you happy, Tiangu? I’m such a good partner to work with, right? I killed several Venerables for you today. You guys sure are useless. You didn’t kill even one. Since this woman is coming out soon, I promise that the six of us will not leave before killing her.”

Su Yu’s aura surged as he roared with laughter. ”I love chaotic battles like this. I will exterminate the sinned lineage today to prove my competence. Since we’re doing this, we might as well go all the way. We’ll slaughter a Master of Law and teach them who’s the true master of this world.”

Tiangu and the others sank into silence. That woman was on the verge of coming out. It was really happening.

At this point, everyone from Control King’s lineage had withdrawn behind the formation. It was clear that they had indeed charged forth earlier to sacrifice some of their people. Or to be precise, they were there to get as many people killed as possible to gather more energy for the summoning.

At this point, the myriad races had lost their advantage. Yes, Control King’s lineage had lost several Venerables. But there were still a decent number of them around. Yue Zhan and the matron dragon projection, in particular, were incredibly strong.

The defection of the devils had greatly altered the balance of the battlefield. If Su Yu’s group had not attacked madly and killed Purple Cloud Marquis, the myriad races would have been in an even worse situation.

At the moment, there was no room to advance or to retreat for both sides. Tiangu looked at Su Yu and asked, ”Do we break through the formation?”

He was actually asking for Su Yu’s opinion.

Su Yu grinned, ”There is no rush. Let’s wait.”

Why?

As Tiangu sank into thought, a shifty laughter rang out from the back.

A voice came, ”Your Majesty, why did you call for me in such a rush?”

”Get over here.”

With a hum, the air rippled. Then, Heavenbridge Marquis emerged out of thin air. His aura had grown significantly. With a smile, Su Yu glanced at the matron dragon projection. The projection’s face fell.

Su Yu said, ”I’ve been waiting for you. I almost believed you’re not coming anyway. Did you advance?”

Heavenbridge Marquis laughed and said, ”I barely made it. I’m now one of the weakest Venerables around.”

Su Yu pointed at the matron dragon projection and said, ”That fellow is made of ten gates. Can you reach the level of a peak Venerable after eating it?”

Heavenbridge Marquis looked over while salivating. ”Uhm...if that doesn’t blow me up, yes. It would be possible.”

He was greatly tempted.

Holy shit!

He had eaten four gates previously, with three being the gates of heavenly kings. And now, there were ten gates right in front of him, with four being the gates of Venerables. The rest were heavenly king gates.

The gains from eating that fellow would be massive. Only then did everyone know that Su Yu was waiting for Heavenbridge Marquis. And Heavenbridge Marquis’ arrival had indeed caused numerous expressions to change. He wasn’t too strong, and his aura was unstable due to his recent advancement. But his unique ability...was too convenient. And he was a great counter for a very specific power.

The matron dragon projection was essentially formed from the power of gates. Several Venerable gates were included. In short, losing these gates would injure several Venerables at once.

After Heavenbridge Marquis’ previous departure, everyone had assumed that he wouldn’t return anytime soon. But surprisingly, he was back again. He had even broken through during his short absence.

Generally, a breakthrough would not end so quickly. However, Heavenbridge Marquis had gone to Su Yu’s world. There were numerous powerhouses there, and all of them helped him suppress the power of the gates he ate.

With a lack of resistance, his advancement would naturally be smooth and fast. The expressions of Tiangu and the others changed as well. With this, the number of Venerables on Su Yu’s side had increased to seven.

Including the matron dragon projection, Control King’s lineage had nine Venerables. As for the myriad races, they had twelve when the two chaos beasts were included. However, Venerable Moon was no longer capable of combat while Venerable Dragon had been weakened to the level of a heavenly king.

Excluding the two, the tiger, and the chaos dragon, there were only eight Venerables on their side.

Just like that, Su Yu’s party became more or less evenly matched to the other two parties. After the battle, many didn’t even know who their friends and enemies were anymore. The heavenly kings and Daofuses had solemn expressions.

At this point, even Daofuses were nothing but cannon fodder. In the earlier battle, not many Venerables and heavenly kings had died. But over a hundred Daofuses had died. Even now, fireworks were still blooming in the sky.

Su Yu started observing the chains around the formation with his Heaven Gate. After a while, he looked at Tiangu and asked with a smile, ”Do you still have the courage to fight?”

Tiangu said, ”That no longer matters. If we don’t fight, none of us will be met with a good ending when their Master of Law returns.”

Su Yu asked, ”Aren’t the immortals acting as the vanguard this time? This formation isn’t easy to break, but it’s also quite simple to break. If the immortals are willing to pay the price, it will be breakable.”

”How?”

”Venerable Desolate.” Su Yu said, ”Venerable Desolate can lift the entire mountain range into the sky. That will be enough to break the formation.”

Venerable Desolate’s expression changed.

”Are you talking about the mountain range around their kingdom?”

”Yes!”

Venerable Desolate’s expression changed drastically. This was not any other place. This was a land of chaos. Any mountain here was comparable to ten or even a hundred mountains outside. How many mountains were there before him?

He specialized in the power of earth, but attempting something like this might result in a great backlash.

Su Yu beamed and said, ”Their Master of Law will still need a bit of time to emerge. If we can break their formation now, we might be able to kill a Venerable or two before then. If you keep dragging things out, we won’t even have the chance to do that anymore.”

Venerable Desolate wanted to argue, but Tiangu’s solemn voice rang out, ”Desolate, do it. Break the formation.”

”But...”

Tiangu looked at him gravely and said, ”Right now, you’re only risking injuries and backlash. But if we don’t kill a few more Venerables while we can, it might result in the extermination of our race.”
