Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu smiled and said, ”Alright, everyone. Come back.”

Instantly, the Masters of Laws pulled back.

Battle King, with his bloody nose and swollen face, had completely forgotten about his beating. Rather, he was staring at Su Yu with a look of overwhelming shock. Coupled with his bruised face, he presented quite a comedic appearance.

”Human Lord Su...this...”

He was having a hard time processing this. Where did so many Masters of Laws come from?

Su Yu chuckled and said, ”Senior Battle King, that was a small joke. You’re not angry, right?”

”No, not at all!”

Battle King waved his hands, still not recovering from his shock. All of them were Masters of Laws!

Su Yu laughed, ”Xing Yue, help Senior Battle King with his injuries.”

Xing Yue stepped forth and released her power of life. While healing Battle King, she asked curiously, ”There are so many of them now?”

There weren’t so many of them before this.

Su Yu smiled, ”This is decent, I guess. I left a few back home to watch over things as well. By the way, Senior Battle King said that it was fine for humans to beat him up. You can be considered one of mine as well, so I’m quite surprised that you didn’t join in on the beating...”

Battle King blinked. His? What?

This was His Majesty’s little sister! How was she one of his?

But after a slight hesitation, Xing Yue actually gave Battle King a punch. Noticing Battle King’s stupefied gaze on her, she explained softly, ”I cultivate his life and death daos. This can be considered...a show of loyalty.”

Su Yu had too many powerful subordinates. Thus, she had to use her Big Brother Battle King as a show of loyalty.

Battle King was stunned.

Only then did he recall that Xing Yue was resurrected by Su Yu. Thus, it was true that she cultivated his life and death daos. Good heavens. Basically, their most reliable doctor was someone on Su Yu’s side?

Su Yu laughed, ”It was a joke. Why did you take it seriously, Xing Yue? My apologies, Battle King. I love joking around too much.”

Battle King smiled, but inwardly, he was overwhelmed with shock. Su Yu hadn’t even needed to fight. That wasn’t supposed to be a big deal.

But he was only a youngster around twenty, yet he had gathered so many Masters of Laws under his banner. There were humans, myriad races, and even the ancient chaos race among them.

This guy...wait, a white-robed cultivator!

Suddenly, Battle King shivered. This was not a simple guy.

Definitely!

At this point, only a fool would believe that he was a simple person.

Battle King turned solemn. He was both happy and wary of this discovery. He was happy at having so many powerful helpers. This actually felt great. But he was also growing wary because Su Yu was clearly no pushover.

Would a conflict arise between him and Human Emperor? How could someone capable of gathering so many powerful subordinates be a pushover? Only a fool would believe so. However, Battle King was worried that the human lord would be too ambitious, to the point of trying to replace Human Emperor right after arriving. That was his biggest worry.

Otherwise, the arrival of so many powerful helpers would be enough to drive him mad with joy.

Xing Yue...

Battle King glanced at Xing Yue with complicated emotions. Xing Yue’s very life was tightly grasped within Su Yu’s hands as well.

Despite his thoughts, he laughed and said, ”Human Lord Su is being too polite. Don’t worry about it. It’s no big deal. I was joking around as well. Fighting in the front lines for so many years has been quite stressful. I couldn’t resist playing a joke to celebrate the arrival of so many allies.”

He displayed a simple and honest personality.

None of his countless thoughts showed on his face. Just then, Xia Longwu bowed slightly and said, ”This junior was rude earlier. Please forgive me. Senior, I am Xia Longwu of Great Xia’s Xia Family.”

Battle King blinked. Then, his face twitched. Damn it!

The fucker...who had madly swung a blade at him earlier...was...his descendant?

”Xia Longwu...”

After a slight hesitation, Battle King said, ”You...”

Right at that moment, a burst of bloodline power erupted from Xia Longwu’s body. Battle King stared blankly. This was really his descendant! Holy shit! Previously, Xia Longwu had deliberately masked his bloodline to prevent detection. Now that the masking had been removed, Battle King could finally feel it.

This was really his descendant! Battle King was left speechless. Why did this guy attack so ruthlessly, even knowing that this was his own ancestor he was swinging his blade at?

Xia Longwu maintained his stern expression. He wasn’t exactly courteous, but he still maintained the proper etiquette. In a way, this was fitting. Ancestors were meant to be remembered and worshipped during festivities and set aside at any other time. Then again, Battle King was probably so far removed that he wouldn’t even be on the list of ancestors to be worshipped by the current Xia Family.

Xia Longwu did not feel anything special even with his ancestor standing before him. He only knew that his ancestor had received quite a beating from them.

Of the thirty-six in their group, thirty-five had fought. His ancestor even cried from the beating...well, that was mostly due to Wan Tiansheng. However, the entire display had been recorded. Battle King did not seem to care about it, but he would come to regret this in the future.

Before long, Battle King smiled at Su Yu again as he said, ”Human Lord Su, His Majesty sent me here to welcome everyone. Things are too tense in the front lines. Please wait and rest here for a bit. I’ll report back to His Majesty and see if he can make the time to discuss things with Human Lord Su.”

He did not choose to say much to Su Yu. This was completely different from their expectations. And he did not have the authority to make any decisions regarding a group so powerful. Thus, he had to report back to Human Emperor.

Not one or two, but thirty-six powerhouses had arrived. There were even tier-twos among them. Even the weakest among them was a tier-four.

As for Su Yu himself...he was...probably...maybe...a tier-two. This was unimaginable. It was too scary for a youngster at twenty or so to be a tier-two. If even someone as prideful as Martial Emperor had submitted to him, it was clear that he wouldn’t be weak. Martial Emperor would have revolted against a weak leader long ago.

With all that in his mind, Battle King smiled and said, ”Little Sister Xing Yue, why don’t you stay and receive Human Lord Su while I’m gone? You know each other well, so this is a good chance for you to catch up. Human Lord Su, this is His Majesty’s beloved little sister. I’ll be back shortly.”

Su Yu smiled, ”Sure, Senior Battle King. I believe that you should only tell Senior Human Emperor about us for now. Do not let anyone else know lest the myriad races find out about us.”

”That is only natural.”

And then, he rushed off without any delay. This was massive! That Su Yu guy was no pushover!

***

Su Yu laughed.

The others laughed as well. Xing Yue was unbothered. Instead, she asked curiously, ”When did you get so many Masters of Laws? Why had you not reported this to me before?”

This was unforgivable!

Su Yu smiled and explained, ”It’s hard to deliver accurate messages through our communication system. It’s not too late for you to find out now, right? Have things been fine recently, Lord Xing Yue?”

”Everything has been fine.”

Su Yu smiled again. That was good to hear. But Human Emperor had seemingly refused to accept treatment from Xing Yue. That wouldn’t be good.

***

At the same time.

Battle King was healing himself rapidly. He had only sustained some superficial wounds. This was no big deal for him.

Radiant King was nearby when he arrived at their camp. Upon seeing him, Radiant King called out, ”Why are you in such a rush? Where did you go earlier? Why are your clothes all torn up? What did you do?”

Battle King transmitted solemnly, ”Come with me. We need to see His Majesty.”

Radiant King blinked. What happened?

Despite his confusion, he followed. As he walked, he asked, ”I sensed some battle fluctuations earlier. I even felt some familiar auras...”

Those were probably his descendants. That formation master was most likely a descendant of Radiant King. Battle King did not say much. Before long, they reached Human Emperor’s figure.

The figure was still floating at the usual spot. Human Emperor was surprised to see the two. Why was Battle King back so soon?

Battle King said solemnly, ”Your Majesty! Something big happened!”

”...”

Human Emperor chuckled, ”Is this related to Su Yu?”

After some thought, Battle King said, ”Cough. Uhm...Martial Emperor...returned to life.”

First, he cracked a tiny joke to ease the tension in the air.

Human Emperor blinked.

Screw that! Why was this guy saying something like that when he looked so tense?

Radiant King blinked as well, but next, he laughed, ”No way! Your Majesty...this...hahahaha!”

Suddenly, he blanked out and asked, ”Has Su Yu arrived? Is...Martial Emperor among them?”

Smart.

Battle King praised inwardly. Seeing that the two were still thinking about Martial Emperor, he cleared his throat and said, ”Uhm...also...Su Yu came with thirty-six people, including himself. Not all of them are humans. There are some allied races among them.”

But the two were still thinking about Martial Emperor. Battle King added, ”Your Majesty...they aren’t weak.”

Human Emperor chuckled, ”Martial Emperor? That’s a surprise. Yes, they won’t be weak, then. But is Su Yu really capable of keeping him under control?”

”Yes.”

Battle King answered without the slightest hesitation.

Noticing the surprise on the two, he said, ”They...thirty-six...all Masters of Laws.”

Boom!

For a moment, Radiant King lost control of his aura. Immediately after, he roared with fury, ”Assholes from the other side! Come face me in battle! I’m tired of you! Your Majesty, let’s fuck them up! Something seemed to have happened in the Myriad Realms!”

As a response, a sneer rang out from the opposite piece of land, ”Something happened? Looks like your senses have declined in sharpness. Human Emperor, just withdraw and return to the Myriad Realms. Stop wasting time here.”

Radiant King shot back, ”Fuck off with that! I changed my mind. Your Majesty, let’s not fight. We’ll bore them to death!”

Before long, peace returned.

Ignoring everything that had happened, Radiant King returned to their previous topic. That was merely a distraction to cover for his shock. He asked, ”All thirty-six of them?”

”Yes!” Battle King grimaced, ”That’s too many. I didn’t know it in the beginning, and I suffered slightly for it. Martial Emperor is already a tier-two. Since Su Yu is able to keep him under control, Su Yu is probably a tier-two as well. They also have many tier-threes. The rest are tier-fours. I don’t recall seeing any tier-fives.”

At that, even Human Emperor shook.

Thirty-six!

”That isn’t even all of them. Some of them are left back home...”

Suddenly, Human Emperor asked, ”Was Zhou Tian there?”

”Nope.” Battle King shook his head, ”I didn’t see him.”

Human Emperor sank into thought. Inwardly, he was greatly shocked. Thirty-six!

Zhou Tian was absent. This signified that these weren’t the powerhouses produced by Zhou Tian. What was this? Since Human Emperor had not sensed the birth of so many Masters of Laws, would it be safe to conclude that these were all powerhouses produced from Su Yu’s world?

Human Emperor couldn’t help but gasp with shock at that thought.

Noticing how Human Emperor’s figure was trembling with shock, Battle King said dryly, ”Your Majesty, Martial Emperor isn’t dead. Uhm, we should remain shocked by his survival. Relax, Your Majesty.”

Human Emperor rolled his eyes. Did he need this guy to comfort him? Why would he be stressed? He was merely slightly surprised. Su Yu was simply too surprising. How was this possible?

And then, Human Emperor’s figure shook again before releasing a tiny figure. He said, ”This projection of mine can’t leave. I’ll send a clone to meet Su Yu. Radiant King, prepare a character clone as well. Battle King, take us to them.”

This time, he wasn’t sending Battle King over alone. He had to meet Su Yu personally. Thirty-six Masters of Laws. This was indeed shocking. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for. But it was also a potential crisis.

At his peak, he would dare to launch a decisive battle against the myriad races with such a force coming to support him. But he was no longer at his peak. He felt quite regretful about it. A pity that the timing wasn’t right. Otherwise, this would have been their chance to make a complete comeback.

What a pity.

Human Emperor was boundlessly regretful, but he was also excited. After so many years of waiting, an opportunity had finally presented itself. As for that little shit—cough—that tenth human lord, he did well!

”I was planning to give that little shit a beating, but I guess that won’t be appropriate anymore.”

Suddenly, Battle King recalled something and warned, ”Your Majesty, he’s dressed in white robes, and he smiles all the time. At first, I thought I was looking at Culture King himself. He is clearly a scumbag!”

”Hiss!”

Radiant King gasped, ”In that case, he won’t be a pushover. A white-robed cultivator leading over thirty Masters of Laws. Tsk, tsk. This will be a difficult guy to handle.”

Regular white-robed cultivators wouldn’t be so scary. But someone with Su Yu’s status and strength would definitely be a difficult opponent.

Human Emperor blinked. Another Culture King? Well...this still wouldn’t be impossible to handle. After all, he had succeeded in handling Culture King all those years ago.

”Let’s go.”

With that, his clone entered Battle King’s body. At the same time, Radiant King produced a clone as well. It was time for them to meet the white-robed human lord.
