Tribulation of Myriad Races

Inside the River of Time, Giant Axe Marquis devoured a large amount of water as he continued his growth into his new cultivation level. As his presence swelled, he roared with laughter.

Finally! He had finally broken through!

He was finally a proper Master of Law. The joy was so overwhelming that he couldn’t even grieve for Axe King anymore. It had been so many years anyway. His feelings for the dead king had faded significantly. In any case, he wouldn’t have been able to advance if the king weren’t dead, right?

At the same time, Venerable Desolate roared as his aura started surging as well.

With a rumble, an earth giant appeared.

Venerable Desolate was the first to break through among the myriad races. He had encountered zero difficulty in his breakthrough. It had been extremely smooth. However, nothing was happening with Sacred Source.

Nobody was surprised as he cultivated the dao of the Immortal Pseudo Emperor. The Immortal Pseudo Emperor wasn’t dead. Next, a dragon and phoenix started roaring. The two were on the verge of breaking through as well.

However, this wasn’t necessarily a happy occurrence for them. This signified that the original masters of these daos had died.

Elsewhere, March was muttering sorrowfully, ”January didn’t die...”

”...”

Everyone stared at him with stupefaction. That was his grandpa he was talking about! Why was he complaining?

March was feeling quite sad. February, his father, had died. But September had inherited February’s dao. He walked January’s dao, but January wasn’t dead. Thus, he would remain stuck.

Was this not sad?

He couldn’t grow into a Master of Law!

Because January wasn’t dead!

Even Giant Axe had broken through, yet he was still stuck! How was this not sad?

Furthermore, he had not fused into Su Yu’s world. Thus, he could only watch as those who had done so grew.

Not far away, Su Yu moved aside to avoid an attack by Hundred Battle King before exclaiming with surprise, ”January isn’t dead?”

What a pity.

In that case, March would be stuck.

Yes, this was indeed saddening. Even Sacred Marquis was on the verge of breaking through. The moment he succeeded, the myriad races would gain four new Masters of Laws. Sacred Source Marquis seemed to be the sole unlucky one among them. With this, the myriad races would have five Masters of Laws in total.

Su Yu looked around. Apart from Giant Axe, was there nobody else advancing? The more he thought about it, the more displeased he was. He shouldn’t be losing out on this!

Just then, a rumble rang out. Grand Dream!

Grand Dream, who had just advanced into a Venerable not long ago, felt his dao stirring. That was the former dao of his dead dao companion. Thus, he was practically guaranteed an advancement after becoming a Venerable.

It didn’t matter even if he was a fresh Venerable. A gigantic mountain manifested around Grand Dream as he muttered to himself with complicated emotions. After countless years, he, too, had broken through into a Master of Law.

Not far away, Great Zhou King had a complicated expression as well. Two different dao powers were clashing within his body. Next, his aura skyrocketed. Great Zhou King had also cultivated properly into the level of a Venerable. With the restriction gone, he was breaking through as well.

Su Yu looked over with surprise. Wait, so that guy was really a Venerable? he wasn’t actually a Master of Law in disguise or something like that?

And he had finally broken through?

How curious.

He had always thought that Great Zhou King was a former Master of Law like the Consort Emeritus. Was that not the case?

Instantly, Su Yu’s side gained three new Masters of Laws.

Elsewhere, Redmoon, who was still busy fighting, instantly rose into a Master of Law.

To the side, Blood Shadow broke through as well.

Hundred Battle King knew them well, so he was aware that they were capable of breaking through the moment the restriction was removed. In fact, the surviving Venerables under him were all coincidentally those cultivating daos with no existing masters.

At the same time, Evergreen and Longbrow broke through. Even Thunderstorm had broken through as lightning danced around him. The power of charm rippled out of Yue Luo’s body as she, too, broke through.

However, Yue Xiao’s face fell as he had not broken through. Since he cultivated the chaos dao, he was still stuck. Yue Luo had cultivated her physical body with the chaos dao, but her main dao was the dao of seduction.

In the blink of an eye, Evergreen, Longbrow, Yue Luo, Thunderstorm, Redmoon, and Blood Shadow completed their advancement. As for Extreme Martial, he was nowhere to be seen. It was unknown if he was still alive or not.

The six, coupled with the seven from the myriad races and Su Yu’s side, made up for thirteen new Masters of Laws. This was the power accumulation of the Myriad Realms over a hundred thousand years.

And that was not all. Suddenly, Heavenly Fate Marquis sighed helplessly, ”I am good at reading fate, but I never read my own fate. The Fate Pseudo Emperor...is dead.”

His aura was stirring as well. However, he did not look happy. Their emperor was dead.

Dead.

As far as Heavenly Fate Marquis was concerned, March should celebrate the fact that his grandfather wasn’t dead.

Meanwhile, the fate race had lost their emperor.

Heavenly Fate did not know how their emperor had died, but that was the truth. The only other explanation was that the emperor had switched to a different dao. He wouldn’t have been able to advance otherwise.

Heavenly Fate Marquis couldn’t take joy in this.

Perhaps this was good for him, but for the fate race, their true emperor would be forever gone even if Su Yu could bring the Human Emperor back in the future. He was the fourteenth new Master of Law.

Not far away, March said with envy, ”Wow. Your uncle died. You sure are lucky.”

Fuck that asshole!

Facing Heavenly Fate Marquis’ glare, March seemed indifferent as he continued, ”Those old fellows have been missing for over a hundred thousand years. Most of us have been assuming they’re dead for quite a while. Stop acting all sad.”

Well, that was true as well. Back when those old fellows vanished, the ones left behind had assumed that those people were all dead. Thus, they had accepted the fact that those people would not return anymore.

However, they couldn’t stop feeling sad when there was confirmation that those people were dead. It seemed as though this was all the new Masters of Laws that would appear. Wan Tiansheng and Lan Tian were dao pioneers. They had the combat strength of Venerables, but their daos were too new for them to rise to the level of Masters of Laws.

Heavenbridge’s dao was too unique. He could only grow through eating gates. Thus, the removal of the restriction did nothing for him either. Fat Ball was a dao pioneer, so he remained unaffected.

South Heavenly King and Lanshan had fused into Su Yu’s world. Thus, they were also unaffected. The same applied to the chaos dragon and eight-winged dragon. They cultivated the chaos dao. To advance, they had to either enter the gate or consume the chaos will on Yu Qing.

Most of the ones who had fused into Su Yu’s world had still grown stronger. As for those who had not fused into his world, four Venerables had advanced. On the myriad races’ side, four Venerables had advanced as well.

Meanwhile, apart from Yue Xiao who was stuck and Extreme Martial who had vanished, six Venerables from Hundred Battle King’s faction had broken through. Evidently, Hundred Battle King had prepared himself well for the eventual removal of the restriction.

He had his preparations in place, and it was only natural that he would only gather those capable of breaking through under him. He was unlike Su Yu, who couldn’t afford to be too picky when recruiting. It was likely that those incapable of advancing had been silently removed by Hundred Battle King one way or another.

Today, the world welcomed fourteen new Masters of Laws. Coupled with Consort Emeritus, Hundred Battle King, Su Yu, Martial Emperor, Zhou Ji, Yu Qing, the matron dragon, Death Imperator, and South Heavenly King...

The number of Masters of Laws in the Myriad Realms had surpassed twenty. This was the result of a hundred thousand years of accumulation.

One powerful aura after another swept through the world. Unfortunately, the matron dragon couldn’t stay to witness the sight of all these new powerhouses. By the time the last of them were done breaking through, the body of the matron dragon fully fell apart. Dead.

The Hell Gate started shaking violently. A different powerhouse was seemingly trying to emerge.

Further away, South Heavenly King cursed, ”Idiot! Can’t you wait a bit longer?”

That was directed toward Su Yu.

Evergreen and Longbrow were still around. Why did he remove the restriction so soon? He should have waited a bit. She was in the middle of flying toward the two. But just as she reached them, they broke through. Was Su Yu trying to mess with his mother or something?

Yes. She was viewing herself as his mother figure. She was furious. Su Yu was too impatient. He only needed to wait a bit longer. She was so close to killing them. A Master of Law was far stronger than a Venerable. Each Master of Law was strong enough to fight multiple Venerables. How was she supposed to kill them now?

Well, it was still possible. But she might need to pay a much higher price. Su Yu was so good at scheming. Did he not consider this point? Why did he lose patience after seeing a few dead myriad race Venerables?

***

Opposite Su Yu, Hundred Battle King was laughing as well. ”You seemed to have picked an interesting time to remove the restriction.”

He had gained a large number of Masters of Laws. In fact, Su Yu had reduced the advantage on his side through this action. With their new Masters of Laws, would the myriad races continue listening to Su Yu? They could do a lot with five Masters of Laws. Was Su Yu not worried about that?

”Dumbass.”

Hundred Battle King blinked. Su Yu continued, ”In the name of Emperor Yu, I srip Evergreen Longbrow, and Thunderstorm of their ancient titles! They shall be stripped of their fortune. As traitors of the imperial court, their sins are unpardonable. The world itself shall reject them. Misfortune shall accompany their every step.”

Boom!

A deafening rumble, followed by flickering lightning in the sky. Inside Su Yu’s world, the human lord’s token shook violently. Then, a powerful force of fortune engulfed the three he named.

At the same time, the distant Human Emperor’s dao shook and released a resonating force. An indistinct voice could be heard, ”Granted.”

Before the resonating force could fade away, the voice hurriedly added, ”Just what are you doing—”

This new guy had been stripping titles left and right. Just what was he doing? This was so confusing. A unique willpower undulation arrived alongside the fortune of the ancient court, filled with the confusion of Human Emperor the nice guy.

Those ancient titles had not been conferred lightly. This was a serious matter. But ultimately, the Human Emperor had granted Su Yu’s request. The sounds of something cracking rang out as the three suddenly wailed as they suffered a backlash from their daos.

Boom!

Not able to withstand the backlash, their bodies started falling apart. Su Yu roared, ”Hurry! Drag them all into my world! Why did I allow them to advance? To milk them dry!”

It would be too boring to feed them to his world before fattening them up.

Hundred Battle King’s face turned unsightly. He had taken numerous factors into consideration, but he had never considered a collaboration between Su Yu and Human Emperor.

Those people had been stripped of their fortune right after their advancement. They were different from Control King. Control King was strong enough to remain unaffected, but this did not apply to the three.

They were humans, and they had been benefiting from the fortune of humanity. Their ancient titles were essentially a form of blessing for their strength and talent. With Su Yu stripping everything away, they would naturally suffer backlash.

This was a part of Su Yu’s calculation. Control King’s lineage had remained largely fine after he stripped their fortune, but that was because Control King was powerful enough to negate the effect of losing their fortune alone.

Only now did everyone realize just how terrifying the power of fortune was. The power of fortune had always been unfathomable. After devouring the fortune of the ancient court, Su Yu’s fortune had grown to an unimaginable level.

He had completely surpassed Hundred Battle King in terms of fortune. As holders of ancient titles, Evergreen and the others were ripe for exploitation. In such a situation, who would suffer but them?

Not far away, South Heavenly King exclaimed with joy, ”Well done, my boy!”

”...”

Silence descended while Su Yu’s face stiffened. Just who was she talking to?
