Tribulation of Myriad Races

Venerable Desolate’s eyes flickered. Then, he gnashed his teeth and sank underground. Intense fluctuations of earth power spread out. Behind the formation, Yue Zhan and the others were alarmed.

Su Yu smiled. ”Everyone, attack together.”

Boom!

He started striking the chains on the formation with his hammer. The other Venerables, heavenly kings, and Daofuses attacked as well. The sky itself changed colors as attacks rained down upon the formation. Yue Zhan and his people were thinking of interfering with Venerable Desolate, but they could no longer do so.

Boom!

And thus, a siege began.

***

Deep inside the mountains.

Yu Qing roared and struggled to leave earlier.

She had indeed extracted the power of many dead experts to reduce the time she needed to leave the gate. However, she hadn’t extracted enough to leave immediately. She still needed some time.

Behind her, numerous ancient beings were bombarding the gate, helping her with her attempt to leave. The gate shook, but it held strong.

Yu Qing roared, ”Leave now and I shall spare you. Are the myriad races really trying to court death? Su Yu is clearly scheming against all of us. Both our sides have suffered heavy losses. His side is the only side to keep growing in the middle of the battle.”

She was trying to scare the myriad races off with a threat. But the myriad races ignored her.

Tiangu roared, ”Continue attacking!”

Yes, Su Yu was a threat. But they could worry about that later. For now, they had to weaken Control King’s lineage as much as possible. They had to give it a try. Otherwise, Su Yu might decide to flee after the Master of Law was out. That would put the myriad races in an even greater danger.

”You’re all courting death!”

Boom!

The gate continued shaking. Yu Qing would be out soon. She was in a rush. Yes, she was very strong. But if Yue Zhan and the others were all dead, what good would her strength do her?

Was she supposed to face all those Venerables alone? The ones who had died earlier were essentially the sacrifice for her to exit faster. She couldn’t afford to lose more people.

That would be extremely troublesome.

***

After a quick thought, Su Yu transmitted, ”Heavenbridge, make sure to eat the gates inside that matron dragon. Fat Ball, you will help Heavenbridge with the matron dragon. Wait, Giant Axe will help as well. No, you should go as well, Heavenly Fate.”

Nobody said anything.

”March and Thunderstorm, join hands with me. The three of us will kill Yue Hao. Thunderstorm, this should be fine, right?”

Thunderstorm replied, ”I’ll heed your command, Human Lord.”

He was fine with killing Yue Hao.

While attacking the formation, Su Yu transmitted to the chaos dragon and eight-winged tiger. ”As usual, the twins are yours. Dragon, stop acting. You are strong enough to fight both of them alone. The fuck are you acting for? Mess them up.”

The dragon said nothing. This was not the time for them to use all their strength. All of them were still holding back strength to deal with the greater danger.

”Tiangu, the two devils, Yue Luo, the white-haired guy, and that Ancestor guy are all yours. Consort Emeritus and Corona are good enough to handle the Ancestor. The dragon, phoenix, and nether Venerables are enough to handle the two devils. Sacred Marquis can handle Yue Luo. Venerable Dao, Sacred Source, and Tiangu are good enough to deal with the white-haired guy. You have the numbers to deal with them. Stop being so soft in battles. If you can’t kill them now, it will be game over the moment that Master of Law is out.”

Tiangu looked at Su Yu. All of them were attacking the formation in silence. It felt as though...they had returned to the past. The past where humanity called the shots and the myriad races obeyed.

But right now, the greater enemy was Control King’s lineage. After a short silence, Tiangu transmitted, ”Sure. We will do our best. It’s not that we don’t want to kill them, but it’s not easy to kill when everyone is at the same cultivation level.”

”That’s because you lot are all trash.”

Su Yu couldn’t be bothered to say more. Yes, Tiangu made sense. But their indecisiveness in battle was also a contributing factor in their inability to kill their opponents. The ground beneath them continued shaking violently. With a roar by Venerable Desolate, an earth titan rose, attempting to lift the mountain range with it.

The land split open. The kingdom behind the mountains lifted slightly. Another roar rang out.

”Rise!”

And then, everyone saw the earth titan standing up with the mountain range on its back.

Boom!

With a rumble, all eight chains snapped.

Yu Qing’s furious voice rang out, ”Defense! Defend with everything you have!”

Killing was no longer a priority. They needed to focus on their defenses. They could do the killing once she was out.

Yue Zhan and the others were naturally uninterested in killing their enemies anymore. They all focused on defending against the rain of attacks that were coming through the shattered formation.

”Joining hands?”

A joint defensive effort would indeed be harder to break through.

And thus, Su Yu roared, ”Everyone, ignore them and rush the Hell Gate! Kill that woman!”

As everyone rushed away, Yue Zhan was left with no choice but to act. ”Stop them!”

They could only split apart. There were too many enemies, and the enemies were rushing in from all directions. That damn Su Yu was too annoying.

”Kill!”

This was good. The moment they split up, Su Yu could proceed with his original plan. He charged toward Yue Hao with Thunderstorm and March beside him. Yue Hao’s face fell.

As their gazes met, Su Yu smiled and said, ”I have to kill you to repay you for killing my people.”

Yue Hao said nothing. What could he say when Su Yu was the one with the upper hand here? If Su Yu were weaker, nothing would come out of the deaths of his people.

Yue Hao turned his head and gave the distant Hell Gate a look. He sighed helplessly and looked at Su Yu again. While controlling the chaos beast corpse, he said, ”Things won’t end well for you. The Hell Gate is opening. When it fully opens, your end will arrive. You won’t be able to survive until Human Emperor’s return. You won’t be able to last until Culture King’s return.”

The Hell Gate would open before their return. Chaos would be back.

”You won’t be around to see that day.”

Su Yu was no longer attacking with his hammer. A Venerable couldn’t be killed so easily. He had to use his real strength here. The three of them were strong enough to kill this opponent, but it would still take some time.

”Heaven and earth, four directions. I stand alone.”

With a chant by Su Yu, the surroundings sank into silence. Yue Hao found himself dragged into a new world. This was not Su Yu’s world. Rather, it was a projection of his world.

”I control the Cosmic Civilization.”

Su Yu’s grand voice rang out, ”March, take charge of a hundred offensive daos and kill him.”

March’s figure manifested in the world. His aura surged madly as he felt as though he had instantly grasped a hundred new daos. With a roar, he grew much larger than before and swung his bamboo stick down.

”Thunderstorm, take the power of ten thousand lightnings. Kill.”

Instantly, Thunderstorm found himself growing massively as the power of lightning erupted within him.

”Trap.”

”Suppress!”

”Lock!”

”Seal!”

”Down!”

One word after another was spoken, all of them smashing right into Yue Hao’s mind.

”Time. Stop.”

With a chuckle, the flow of time within the tiny world came to a halt. Su Yu was finally using his real strength.

Suppressed by numerous different daos, Yue Hao struggled violently. However, he had been weakened by at least thirty percent in here while both March and Thunderstorm had grown by at least thirty percent.

Su Yu’s voice rang out in Thunderstorm’s ears, ”Keep holding back and I’ll kill you right here. Use all your strength and kill him.”

Thunderstorm was greatly shocked. What was happening?

Where were they?

Regardless of his confusion, he no longer dared to hide anything. A powerful burst of lightning erupted and blasted Yue Hao. With a rumble, the corpse under Yue Hao’s control broke apart. Su Yu did not fight personally. He was only in charge of suppressing Yue Hao and supporting the two on his side.

”Misfortune, converge.”

With a chant by Su Yu, Yue Hao, who was stepping back, tripped over himself. That shouldn’t even be happening, as he was actually floating in the sky.

But for some reason, it happened. He staggered, allowing March’s bamboo stick to land on him. He rolled away, but he still lost half his body to that strike.

Despair covered his face.

”Where is this? What did you do to me, Su Yu?”

He was not so weak that he could be killed so easily. But here, he felt as though reality itself was his enemy. He was greatly suppressed, rendering him incapable of using his real strength.

Here, he would trip over himself just by walking.

How unlucky could one get?

Boom!

Thunderstorm’s lightning bolt descended, sending Yue Hao flying yet again. He struggled, but countless chains shot out and locked him in place. Before he could resist, March and Thunderstorm suddenly accelerated by thirty percent and rushed him again.

Boom!

With another rumble, the chaos beast under Yue Hao’s control was blasted apart. Both Thunderstorm and March were greatly alarmed. March knew what was happening, but this was still his first time experiencing a fight in Su Yu’s world. One ought to know that this wasn’t even his world. It was merely a projection. But even so, Yue Hao was rendered completely helpless.

”Yue Hao, it’s time for you to pay your debt.”

March had the sudden urge to curse at Su Yu for being shameless. Was he taking his lies seriously now? Not a single one of his people had died!

”Kill!”

The sudden roar from Su Yu shook March out of his introspection. He charged forward, while Yue Hao sank into greater despair. He wanted to drag things out. He wanted to survive until Yu Qing was here. But he found that it was no longer possible. His death was near.

”Su Yu...” With a bitter smile, Yue Hao said, ”Do you think you can win? Wrong. You can’t. Not even Human Emperor can win. The chaos is returning. The Creation Era is returning. Numerous supreme powerhouses will return. You will all lose. I’ll be waiting for you in the afterlife. In the meantime, I’ll kill your dead subordinates a second time in the afterlife.”

”My apologies. They are actually still alive. Sorry for lying to you.”

Yue Hao’s eyes widened.

And then, Su Yu charged forth and attacked with his hammer alongside March’s bamboo stick and Thunderstorm’s lightning bolt.

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, Yue Hao’s sea of willpower collapsed into nothingness. Fury, hatred, indignation, and all sorts of negative emotions dissipated from the fading sea of willpower.

Not dead?

He refused to believe that. What he wanted to hear was that all those people were already dead, not alive!

Su Yu dispersed the remnant willpower with a wave of his hand and sneered, ”You’re so easy to eliminate. Why bother to stand against me?”

Boom!

The world projection faded. The three returned to their previous position. And the battle...was just starting around them.

The additional power in Thunderstorm’s body faded away, giving him the illusion that he was dropping in strength. However, that was not the case. He had merely returned to his original strength.

Thunderstorm had a look of overwhelming shock on his face. An answer had dawned on him. He seemed to have discovered something. A world! Su Yu...had created a world! His head snapped toward Su Yu, shock covering his face. Why...why did Su Yu allow him to learn about that?

Would he die next?

Yes.

Su Yu might really kill him for knowing about that. Why did Su Yu drag him along on this operation? Why? Fear gripped Thunderstorm’s heart. This was a Creator! A Creator! The surrounding experts were still busy fighting each other when the world shook.

Yue Zhan, Yue Luo, and the others blanked out slightly. Yue Hao...was dead?

The battle had just started!

How did he get himself killed so soon?

They were greatly shocked and alarmed. Yes, three Venerables were hard to handle. But Yue Hao wasn’t so weak that he could be killed so quickly. They only saw the area around Yue Hao enveloped in darkness for a moment. When the darkness faded, Yue Hao was dead. That was too terrifying!

Su Yu! Su Yu again!

Su Yu had been responsible for almost all the Venerables who had died today.

Shi Jian had self-detonated because of him. Dou He had lost his body to Tiangu’s group, but Su Yu was the one who had destroyed his sea of willpower. Su Yu had also killed Purple Cloud Marquis and Yue Hao.

Even the myriad races were horrified at the thought of what Su Yu had done. Would they be able to contend against Su Yu after defeating Control King’s lineage?

Thunderstorm and Heavenly Fate Marquis seemed incredibly obedient by Su Yu’s side. Had the two joined Su Yu long ago, or were they truly carrying out the orders they had received from the myriad races?

Deep in the mountains, even Yu Qing was blanking out. One of her legs was already out of the gate. Before long, half her body would be out. However, she stopped due to her sheer shock after sensing Yue Hao’s death. It had happened too quickly!
