Tribulation of Myriad Races

Before everyone knew it, Su Yu’s group had slaughtered all the Masters of Laws they faced.

The price for that wasn’t even that high.

Well, not exactly.

Human Emperor’s body had sustained more damage. Martial Emperor had dropped a tier. Human Ancestor’s bamboo stick had been destroyed. Then again, all those things weren’t too important for Su Yu.

He cared more about the battle results. The incredible results of slaughtering twenty-nine without losing a single person right at the start of the battle. With this, the battle on Su Yu’s side was nearing its end.

Nether Pseudo Emperor was still alive.

Elsewhere, the myriad race powerhouses were dumbstruck. At the same time, they all shivered. Were these the reinforcements from the Myriad Realms? They saw many familiar faces among the newcomers.

But who...was the person who had pretended to be Culture King? That was not Culture King! Yes. At this point, everyone was certain about it. That was not Culture King. Nether Pseudo Emperor’s expression changed drastically as a chill crept up his spine.

After so many years of fighting, they were used to suffering losses and losing people. Self-detonation was a common tactic for both sides. Back when Human Emperor was still at his peak, the myriad races had also used self-detonations to deal with him.

But self-detonations had stopped happening in any meaningful scale after Human Emperor sustained his heavy injuries.

Nether Pseudo Emperor’s mind went blank. It hadn’t even been three minutes since the start of the battle. Then again, this was how a fight between top powerhouses would be.

It would either last days, or it would end instantly. For the most part, only when both sides were similar in strength would the battle last long. But in such battles, both sides would suffer minimal losses.

Yes. For top powerhouses, their losses would only drop the longer they fought. Meanwhile, a battle ending instantly signified that a party had suffered a disastrous defeat. An utter defeat. It was either that or it was a test instead of an actual battle. A proper battle wouldn’t end so fast otherwise.

Nether Pseudo Emperor was ashen-faced. Things were getting troublesome. With so many on their side dead, the others would be too shaken to do anything. Nobody would dare to reinforce him anymore. In fact, even the ones who were busy dealing with Human Emperor’s body had retreated in fear. They had lost all courage.

Nether Pseudo Emperor understood that this was an extremely dangerous moment for him. The moment the powerhouses of this group reached him, he would die. A tier-one was very strong. Someone like that stood at the very peak of existence.

However, the fake Culture King was also as strong as a tier-one. There was also a peak tier-two like Battle King and over thirty Masters of Laws around. He would not be able to defeat so many of them at once.

Suddenly, he shouted, ”If I die, the myriad races will lose a tier-one. That will cause a disastrous defeat.”

Everyone understood what he was actually saying. He was calling for help.

Divine Pseudo Emperor, who was still facing Human Emperor, said, ”Allow Nether Pseudo Emperor to leave. Otherwise, we will kill Human Emperor.”

Nether Pseudo Emperor was a tier-one. With the morale on their side shaken, they knew that Nether Pseudo Emperor couldn’t die.

Next, Divine Pseudo Emperor said, ”Fight. Keep fighting. We have yet to lose. Human Emperor’s body has been badly damaged. His sea of willpower is unstable. As long as we can kill Human Emperor, any sacrifice is worth it.”

Boom!

Then, a seal appeared in his hand. That was the official seal of the divine race.

A burst of divine power rippled out of the seal, causing the world to shake. At the same time, Divine Pseudo Emperor shouted, ”Immortail Pseudo Emperor, stop acting. Do you really want to suffer a disastrous defeat here?”

At that, the eyes of the supposedly heavily injured Immortal Pseudo Emperor flickered. Then, he roared as a gigantic tree manifested in the sky before rooting itself on the River of Time.

Then, all the injured myriad race powerhouses felt an incomparably powerful life force seeping into their bodies to heal all their injuries.

With his long hair whipping about, Immortal Pseudo Emperor paled and coughed a mouthful of golden blood from exhaustion. However, he ignored it and said, ”Keep fighting. So long as you stay alive, I will help you recover from any injury.”

With this, their morale recovered significantly. All of them roared and attacked madly, pushing the humans back repeatedly. Even after losing so many to Su Yu, and even with the betrayal of the five spies, the myriad races still had the numerical superiority over humanity.

Instantly, a human powerhouse was killed by six Masters of Laws.

Divine Pseudo Emperor roared again, ”Fight with everyone you have! He won’t spare us after killing Nether Pseudo Emperor. After such heavy losses, we will suffer another defeat in the future even after retreating this time.”

They had given up on their delusions of peace. The humans would not wait until they were back at the Myriad Realms before fighting the decisive battle. The current battle had clearly been triggered in order to end the war earlier.

With a roar, Divine Pseudo Emperor started shining with a holy radiance. The holy radiance covered all his allies, instantly raising their spirits and removing their fear.

A divine support.

Both Divine Pseudo Emperor and Immortal Pseudo Emperor had done their best to ensure that their forces could continue fighting. They had to prevent a rout as that would render their numerical superiority completely pointless.

They could only keep fighting.

Only two option were left for them. They could either secure Nether Pseudo Emperor’s release from Su Yu or fight to the end and trade Human Emperor’s life with Nether Pseudo Emperor’s life.

Further behind the front lines.

Su Yu frowned slightly.

Yet again.

The myriad races were actually easier to handle when they were strong. The moment they were disadvantaged, they would go mad and achieve a much higher level of unity.

Again.

And again.

There was a reason for the myriad races to remain humanity’s rival for so many years. They would fight among themselves when they were strong and unite when they were weak. In a way, this was similar to humanity.

And thus, the myriad races weren’t easy to properly defeat.

In response, Human Emperor roared, ”Kill. Kill Nether Pseudo Emperor, Su Yu. This emperor would like to see how long they can keep fighting.”

”The divine are fearless. Bring it on!”

With a roar, Divine Pseudo Emperor released even more of his dao power to reinforce the others. Yet another human was killed. Boosted by the divine power and healed by the life power, the myriad race combatants grew incredibly valiant.

Human Emperor roared, ”Have you forgotten about me?”

The two were supporting the others even while they were fighting him. Clearly, they were taking advantage of his heavy injuries. They believed that he wouldn’t be able to do much to them due to his condition.

With a roar, Human Emperor shook. At the same time, his body emerged from the river again. In a flash, it appeared before Human Emperor. And next, Human Emperor stepped into his body. So it turned out that he had a way to bring his body back to him. However, he had refrained from doing so to accommodate Su Yu’s ambush.

But when he merged with his body, Su Yu’s expression changed drastically. Divine Pseudo Emperor exclaimed in alarm, ”Are you trying to kill yourself?”

Boom!

Right at that moment, everyone noticed something. Previously, Human Emperor had forcefully maintained his condition by spreading his injuries across his body and his sea of willpower. But when the two came together, his injuries combined and multiplied.

Instantly, his body started falling apart. His sea of willpower started fading away. But at the same time, his aura surged to an unimaginable level. With his seal in hand, he suppressed existence itself. Just as Divine Pseudo Emperor was about to make a move, he was struck, and his body torn apart.

After receiving that attack, he hurriedly pulled back. Immortal Pseudo Emperor did the same. As for Devil Pseudo Emperor, his head was smashed apart by the seal before he could do anything.

As of this moment, Human Emperor was incomparably powerful. However, his body was rapidly crumbling apart. Devil Pseudo Emperor hurriedly regrew his head before fleeing madly. This was crazy. Human Emperor had gone crazy. Was he trying to kill himself?

Human Emperor snorted and looked down at his collapsing body. With a sneer, he said, ”A bunch of clowns. Do you really think I can’t do anything to you?”

And then, he ignited his body.

”As I said, even if I must die, I will become your nightmare.”

Boom!

He vanished and reappeared before a Master of Law. After smashing the Master of Law into mincemeat with his seal, his body blurred and vanished again. Before anyone could react, he reappeared elsewhere and turned another Master of Law into mincemeat.

He was burning his very body. It was already useless. He was merely squeezing the last bit of worth from it. Even after so many years of recovery, it failed to recover from its dao wounds. And after suffering new wounds on top of its old wounds, it had essentially been crippled.

At this point, Human Emperor no longer cared about his recovery. For now, he only wanted to kill.

***

Su Yu’s eyes flickered.

Next, he roared, ”Get over here. Kill him together!”

He did not choose to reinforce Human Emperor’s side. Since he had the numerical superiority, he might as well kill Nether Pseudo Emperor first. A tier-one would be very hard to kill, even if Su Yu was currently a tier-one.

Every tier-one was exceptionally difficult to kill.

Human Emperor was the perfect example of that. He had not bothered to keep attacking the three strongest myriad race powerhouses after heavily injuring them. Why? Because tier-ones were too hard to kill. It was better for him to kill a few more Masters of Laws instead of wasting his time on them.

The three were watching solemnly after escaping from Human Emperor. Immortal Pseudo Emperor roared, ”Flee! His strength is temporary. We will fight again when his body fully collapses!”

There was no need for them to clash against Human Emperor right now. As for Nether Pseudo Emperor...there was nothing they could do about it. He was trapped deep behind enemy lines, and he was encircled by a large number of powerhouses. It was unlikely that he would survive.

As the various myriad race powerhouses started withdrawing, Human Emperor roared, ”Give chase!”

He had to kill as many as possible before his body fully collapsed. He would not be able to do much against the three strongest after losing his body. At this point, he no longer cared about his own survival. Why? Because Su Yu was truly...treacherous, strong, and ruthless. That was no pushover.

If they could deal enough damage to the myriad races in this battle, Su Yu would be able to salvage things even if Human Emperor was dead. Human Emperor meant to test Su Yu through this battle, and the result was...Holy shit! What an amazingly capable guy!

He was also terrifyingly decisive.

Human Emperor even started entertaining the thought of fusing his world with Su Yu’s world before his death. That would definitely be enough to stabilize that guy’s position as a tier-one. With the boost of his world, that guy would be able to block the myriad races from returning to the Myriad Realms. After all, they would need to go through his world to return.

With them trapped here, it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out. With all those thoughts in mind, Human Emperor suddenly found that the new human lord would be able to prop humanity up even with him gone.

Truly an impressive personage.

***

Human Emperor had gone mad as he fought with his body aflame.

He was rapidly killing his opponents.

At the same time, Su Yu’s expression turned cold as he said, ”Give up on all your strength and pour everything into the world. Focus on suppressing him.”

At that, everyone poured their strength into their daos unhesitatingly. Before long, numerous chains were manifested by Su Yu. All the chains were sent Nether Pseudo Emperor’s way. Nether Pseudo Emperor wanted to flee, but he was being stopped by over thirty chains that were surrounding him from all directions.

Despair covered his face as he roared, ”Your world will be destroyed as well! You--”

”Shut it.”

Su Yu couldn’t be bothered to listen as he continued to harness the power of the various daos in his world. With a roar, Nether Pseudo Emperor released a burst of chilly, corrosive power to corrode the myriad daos. At the same time, the nether soil expanded endlessly, attempting to break the world apart by sheer volume.

But even after he broke through several daos, the power suppressing him continued to grow in strength. Slowly, despair sank in. Was he really going to die here? But he didn’t want to die!

Just then, he thought of something as he roared, ”We’ll die together!”

Instantly, his aura stirred. He looked as though he was really going to self-detonate. Further away, Su Yu frowned. A self-detonation would indeed be troublesome. However, he had already prepared himself for such a possibility. So be it.

But right at that moment, something surprising happened. After looking around, Nether Pseudo Emperor charged toward Battle King. Instantly, Battle King’s face turned purple as he cursed. No!

Fine, fine, he would make himself sparse. Please no! This would kill him! Why was he so unlucky? And then, he fled. Even a peak tier-two like him could die to the self-detonation of a tier-one. Battle King fled with zero hesitation. It was not shameful to run for one’s life. He fled with impressive speed.
