Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu had shown Hundred Battle King disrespect by heavily injuring the Primordial Giant King with one punch. It wasn’t like Su Yu didn’t know about the relationship between Hundred Battle King and the primordial giants. Strictly speaking, the Primordial Giant King was Hundred Battle King’s father-in-law.

Su Yu’s cold voice spread toward the Human Realm, ”Do you wish to start a war with me? Not even Hundred Battle has spoken. Who are you to run your mouth before me? Ungracious and discourteous. How dare you question this emperor?”

The sky churned as numerous dao powers converged in Human Realm’s direction.

Boom!

The sky shattered as countless palms emerged.

Su Yu roared, ”Kill him.”

Boom!

Three gigantic figures shot over.

Fat Ball, Lan Tian, and Heavenbridge Marquis appeared instantly through teleportation. Then, Fat Ball transformed into his black version before slamming his shoe down. Behind, Hundred Battle King did nothing. He watched silently with his people.

The speaker reacted with a sword strike. But before he could finish swinging his sword, the sword was frozen. Then, a shoe stomped down and cracked his head. Blood dyed the air red.

Numerous expressions changed.

That was way too strong.

The transformed Fat Ball was indeed strong. Equipped with Culture King’s shoe, he was terrifyingly powerful. After cracking the head with the shoe, he opened his jaws wide, attempting to swallow his opponent with one bite.

Suddenly, Hundred Battle King reached out and spoke softly, ”It’s a misunderstanding.”

A gigantic palm descended from the sky. It was incomparably powerful. But right at that moment, Heavenbridge Marquis swung open. A roar rang out as a matron dragon appeared from behind the gate. Hundred Battle King raised his brow and slapped the matron dragon projection into nothingness.

Then, he grabbed and pulled, dragging a gate out of thin air. Heavenbridge Marquis’ expression changed. The gate was his real body. His real body had been captured!

Just as he was about to struggle, Hundred Battle King released him and gave him a slight slap to send him flying. Next, Hundred Battle King grabbed the nearly-dead Longbrow and dragged him off Fat Ball. His soft voice rang out again, ”Longbrow was discourteous. He has been punished for it. Fellow Daoist Su, let’s end this matter here.”

Heavenbridge, Lan Tian, and Fat Ball had solemn expressions. Hundred Battle King was...too strong. In truth, Su Yu only wanted to test his strength. Lan Tian understood that instantly. And when Hundred Battle King acted, they found that his cultivation was unfathomably deep. He was unimaginably powerful.

Heavenbridge Marquis had yet to fully digest all the gates he swallowed, but he had grown considerably. However, Hundred Battle King was able to capture him before slapping him away without any effort.

One ought to know that Heavenbridge Marquis was already a Venerable. How many people in the Myriad Realms could even do that to him? Not even the likes of the chaos dragon and Yue Zhan could do so.

Lan Tian realized that Hundred Battle King’s real strength wasn’t something they could measure through a simple test. Rather, they would need to fight an actual war to see his actual strength. Thus, he grinned and said, ”Since Hundred Battle King is getting involved, we will drop the matter here. This is merely a small punishment from His Majesty the Emperor Yu.”

His grin widened as he said, ”Esteemed Hundred Battle King, see you.”

And then, the three vanished into thin air. The nervous Heavenbridge Marquis was moving as fast as he could.

Near the Human Realm.

Everyone had solemn expressions.

Longbrow’s heart was thumping madly as he gnashed his teeth and complained, ”Your Majesty, they are too arrogant!”

Hundred Battle King waved him off and asked, ”How does everyone feel about those three?”

Evergreen said, ”That is Culture King’s dog. He calls himself Fat Ball. But instead of being a white dog as rumored, he’s a black dog. There are similarities to the divine sun devouring hound in the ancient records. That’s a very powerful dog. As for the shoe, that’s Culture King’s shoe. Back then, Culture King walked around barefoot for a period of time. Among us, only Extreme Martial and Yue Luo can match that dog.”

There was no doubt that Yue Luo was extremely strong. As for Extreme Martial, he was the number one general under Hundred Battle King. It was only natural that he was very strong as well.

Evergreen continued, ”Heavenbridge Marquis is capable of freely coming and going. His combat strength isn’t anything special, but he is an extremely annoying opponent to handle. As for the one to speak last...”

When he looked at Cloud Water Marquis, she lowered her head and said, ”Lan Tian.”

”The Lan Tian who had created a massive phenomenon during his dao pioneering, the same person Su Yu helped by igniting his own lifespan?”

After a short pause, Evergreen continued, ”He is growing rapidly. Not long ago, it was rumored that he had died. Evidently, the rumor was wrong. He’s not dead. In fact, he has even grown into a Venerable. He didn’t fight, so I can’t judge his exact combat strength.”

Longbrow’s head had been instantly cracked. And Su Yu had done so just because of a single remark by him. Was Su Yu really someone with such a bad temper? Or was there a different reason for the sudden attack? The three Venerables had visited them before South Suppression Marquis was even back.

Su Yu was well aware of Primordial Giant King’s relationship with Hundred Battle King, yet he had heavily injured the giant king without any hesitation. That could be considered their first direct contact with Su Yu. It hadn’t been a happy encounter.

Su Yu had reconnected the Upper and Lower Realms, injured Primordial Giant King, and sent his people after Longbrow. However they looked at it, they couldn’t say that Su Yu was someone easy to get along with.

Among them, some were furious, and some were fearful.

Three Venerables had attacked instantaneously.

How terrifying.

They knew that Hundred Battle King was here, yet they had attacked unhesitatingly. Clearly, Su Yu had full control over the Venerables under him. And it was likely that he had more than three Venerables under him.

Furthermore, Su Yu himself wouldn’t be weak either. Was he really a young man?

***

Above the Sea of Stars.

Su Yu forgot about Primordial Giant King after that punch. Instead, he resumed his work. By the time the trio was back, he had already defeated the two threads.

As the two powers scattered, an indistinct figure manifested in the sky. It seemed to be struggling.

Martial Emperor!

He was getting ready to break free.

”Very strong.”

Lan Tian only gave a simple remark after returning. That signified that he couldn’t figure out more. He had no way of seeing just how far Hundred Battle King had reached.

Su Yu said nothing.

The tokens continued floating in the sky, devouring the numerous powers forming the net.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled and the world shook.

As Martial Emperor’s power rippled out, the nearby island started shaking. The powerhouses of the nine realms were shaking on the island.

After a while, an Eternal sighed with despair and grabbed the people around him before transmitting, ”Let’s go back home. Tell the youngsters to forget about building an island forever. We will remain in our realm.”

It was time for them to go home. Their newly built island would be gone soon.

They would forget about building a new island so long as Su Yu was still around. It wasn’t that Su Yu was stopping them. In fact, he was completely unbothered about them. But they knew that even without caring about them, any random action by Su Yu could collapse their island.

So be it. It was time to return and forget about this. What was so good about the Allheaven Battlefield? Life as a shut-in was quite nice as well.

Upon knowing that Su Yu was nearby, they all gave up. In the blink of an eye, the crumbling island was devoid of people. Everyone had returned home. The island would be gone by the time Su Yu was done anyway. They all knew that.

***

Su Yu was completely unbothered about the people of the nine realms.

This was a trivial matter. That was merely a bunch of Sunmoons and Eternals. They could build their island or not. It was none of his business. At the moment, Su Yu was busy consuming one dao power after another.

Each time a thread snapped, the world would shake harder. Martial Emperor was steadily accumulating strength in preparation to break free. Su Yu was also devouring the imprints left behind by the ancient Masters of Laws.

This was an opportunity for him to learn more about these people. Through these imprints, he could gain more understanding of their previous cultivation level, comprehension, and characteristics of their daos. This was important information to know.

As for the matter concerning Hundred Battle King, he set that aside for now. He had only attacked earlier because he didn’t want someone complaining in his ears while he worked.

One thread after another snapped.

Ten, twenty, thirty...

Rumble!

The Allheaven Battlefield seemed to be expanding.

Martial Emperor’s body started growing more and more distinct. It was as though he was slowly walking out of the boundless void. Projected in the sky, he was gigantic. However, his posture was...slightly awkward with his body bending over.

Su Yu continued snapping the threads.

Forty, fifty...

When more than half the threads were snapped, the entire Myriad Realms started shaking. Those familiar with this phenomenon knew that the Upper and Lower Realms would reconnect soon.

Boom!

Su Yu could see with his own eyes how the Allheaven Battlefield was expanding. The previous version of the battlefield seemed to be a compressed version. The Sea of Stars was growing. The east, south, west, and north were all growing.

The earth quaked, and the mountains shook.

A large amount of dao power rippled out, and the ambient source qi churned.

Suddenly, Martial Emperor roared. The tightly shut eyes in the first level of the Luminous Domain Mansion snapped open, shining like suns and moons.

Fury and madness could be seen in those eyes.

Freedom was near!

”Tai Shan!”

He roared madly, as though he had returned to his previous madness. This time, Su Yu was not the only one who could hear him. Everyone in the Myriad Realms could hear that furious roar.

The voice was filled with madness and boundless rage.

Everyone could feel Martial Emperor’s intense desire to kill someone.

”Tai Shan!”

Boom!

With a rumble, the sea raged and the newly made island turned into dust.

Martial Emperor!

A terrifyingly powerful being.

Su Yu could feel it. He might have underestimated Martial Emperor. The unsealed Martial Emperor was stronger than expected. Sure enough, he couldn’t accurately predict that fellow’s strength since they had never fought properly.

He had yet to even fully break free, yet he was already emanating an incomparably powerful aura.

Boom!

Martial Emperor’s head struggled, turning everything on the first level into dust. Only a face remained. A face contorted in fury.

Su Yu continued snapping the threads.

The River of Time was shaking violently as well. The many chains wrapped around Martial Emperor’s tributary started snapping.
