Tribulation of Myriad Races

While Su Yu was in the process of moving away from the valley.

Outside the ancient city.

Someone arrived.

The newcomer was not an Invincible. Even Invincibles would need some time to reach. Some of the Invincibles were inside their respective realms, and some were under close watch of the human Invincibles. They wouldn't be able to reach the city so soon after they were called upon.

The newcomer stood in front of the city and stared at the gate in front of him. Then, his lips curved into a smile. Abruptly, a saber light appeared noiselessly and struck the city wall.

Boom!

A segment of the wall collapsed.

Instantly, about seven or eight powerful death spirits appeared above the wall. They stared silently at the individual outside the city. Death qi started spreading out of the city.

One of the death spirits, who looked very different from the other death spirits, spoke coldly, "Xia Longwu!"

"You know me? You must be one of the survivors from my massacre back then."

"Xia Longwu! How dare you damage the holy city!" The death spirit said, "You're courting death—"

"You're too noisy. It's not like you can even leave the city."

But right at that moment, a different voice rang out, "If you dare to damage the holy city further, I'll end you."

"..."

Hearing that voice, Xia Longwu's expression changed slightly. He withdrew immediately. While leaving, he said, "This is a misunderstanding. I was trying to cut something else, but my hand slipped and hit the city wall instead."

After leaving those words behind, he vanished. The stone statue had spoken. That thing was too bizarre and strong. There was no need to provoke such an entity.

As for the relationship between the stone statue and the death spirits, it was very complicated as well. They did not seem to get along well, but both sides existed for the sake of the holy city. It wouldn't be a smart idea to provoke the stone statue. The death spirits couldn't leave the city, but nobody could guarantee that the stone statue couldn't leave as well. ＲàΝ𝐨𝐁Ëṣ

The collapsed segment of the wall was instantly restored.

As for the death spirit who had spoken, it gave one last glance at the direction Xia Longwu had vanished before vanishing as well. But the other death spirits who had appeared did not leave. Instead, they moved deeper into the city and joined the hunt for the surviving living beings.

Xia Longwu was gone. But there were other living beings in the city they could target.

***

The stone statue cursed. He was the one who had spoken earlier. That damn Xia Longwu was lucky he was already a stone statue. If it was back then, with his temper, he would have left the city to give that bastard a beating.

These damn bastards from the human race loved troublemaking too much. What if a death sovereign appeared because of all the trouble? Did they really think that a death sovereign wouldn't be able to touch them?

Of course, Xia Longwu was only here to give the city a cut and ensure the deaths of the experts in the city. He was gone, but furious roars rang out inside the city.

Boom!

Of the six Sunmoons, the golden lion had self-detonated to kill a large number of death spirits. Because of that, even more death spirits appeared. At that moment, the number of Sunmoon death spirits in the city reached forty.

That was a terrifying number.

***

Inside an ancient building.

Five Sunmoons remained.

Lei Huo suddenly spoke through voice transmission, "Those two can't last much longer either. They will definitely self-detonate to kill some death spirits before dying."

He was talking about the Sunmoons from the mountainbreak bull race and the silkwyrm race. It was very clear they were at their limits.

As for the young geniuses, the difference between them was also made obvious. Mo Duona still appeared completely fine. Topsoil Spirit was still calm and collected. Meanwhile, Tianduo, the little golden dragon, and Long Zhan were starting to look weakened. They were nearly out of heavenly source qi.

Long Dou glanced at the young geniuses and replied through voice transmission, "Do me a favor. Pin them down and let Long Zhan and Long Wuyou get the kill. Even getting a tiny bit of heavenly source qi as the heavenly reward is better than nothing. The dragon race is going to deploy two dragon kings here."

Killing experts who were pinned down would not generate any big reward. Even those killing gravely injured experts could earn a much bigger reward. But at this point, this was the only thing they could do. Getting a tiny bit more heavenly source qi was better than nothing.

Those two Sunmoons were dying. Before that, they would definitely self-detonate and attract more death spirits for the others. They might as well kill them. That way, only two additional death spirits would appear.

Lei Huo did not care that much since none of the geniuses was from the divine race. As for Na Dazhi, he thought about it and said, "Sure. Mo Duona probably looks down on this method. As for Tianduo, there is no guarantee his ancestor will come. We can ignore him. The ones with more elders coming can get the kills."

Long Dou proceeded to send a voice transmission to Long Zhan and Long Wuyou. The two young dragons hesitated slightly before agreeing. They couldn't last much longer. This was something they had to do. Even if they would only receive a small amount of heavenly source qi, it would still be helpful in withstanding the death qi.

Furthermore, killing Sunmoons will also fill the area with a large amount of source qi and character intent. All that would help them last longer here. In fact, that was how they had survived until now: by relying on the source qi and character intent of the Sunmoons who had died earlier.

Just as the three Sunmoons were about to make a move, the silkwyrm Sunmoon dashed out of the building and detonated himself. As his body burst apart, he looked at the people inside the building with a sinister smile.

"Do you think I don't know what you're planning?"

With that, shockwaves spread out and killed several Sunmoon death spirits. The three ignored the explosion and continued with their plan, instantly pinning the mountainbreak bull Sunmoon down. The mountainbreak bull roared, "What are you doing?"

The silkwyrm Sunmoon still had a tiny bit of his consciousness remaining. When he heard that, he had the urge to curse at the bull with his final words.

Fool!

Was this not obvious?

He had long noticed those fellows conversing through voice transmission, as though they were plotting something. He decided that even if he had to die, he would not grant them any benefits.

The dumb bull was the only clueless one. With that final thought, the consciousness of the silkwyrm Sunmoon fully dispersed.

A moon fell from the sky.

Of the initial twenty-one Sunmoons, only four remained.

Shortly after, the bull died with grief and indignation to the two young dragons. Then, a shining clump of cloud appeared.

Unsurprisingly, the reward came in the form of heavenly source qi. And the amount was pretty decent as well.

Under normal circumstances, this was not a valuable reward. The experts of the major races felt the same as Su Yu about heavenly source qi. The effort of killing a Sunmoon just for some heavenly source qi was not a worthy trade. But this was one of the rare circumstances where more heavenly source qi was actually a good thing.

Long Zhan and Long Wuyou started absorbing the rewarded heavenly source qi to deal with the death qi in their bodies. The number of living beings in the city had dropped to an incredibly low level.

There were only nine of them left. Three of them were high-stage Sunmoons, and they were desperately defending their shelter while waiting for the Invincibles to arrive.

When they first entered, there were a lot more of them. Dozens of Sunmoons, dozens of Mountainseas, nearly a thousand Cloudbreaches and Skysoars...but now, almost all of them had died. Even with such a large number of deaths, not a single Invincible had arrived yet.

It wasn't that none of them wanted to go. Rather, they were unable to go. The humans were also aware of the situation in the city. Thus, they were working hard to intercept the Invincibles heading toward the city. Unknown to most people, some skirmishes were already happening on the borders of the various territories.

North from the Eastrift Valley.

With a spear in hand, Great Qin King gazed at Dao King who had just arrived from the Immortal Realm. With a smile, he offered, "Dao King, let's grab a drink. The journey must be tiring. Take a break with me."

Dao King sank into a momentary silence before opening his mouth, "State your conditions."

Great Qin King laughed heartily, "I only have one simple condition. Keep War God busy during Xia Longwu's dao affirmation."

After a short silence, Dao King shook his head, "If that's your condition, I can give up on Dao Cheng's life. I am not capable of stopping War God."

Great Qin King nodded, "How about a different condition? You need to stop targetting Su Yu..."

"I can give up on Dao Cheng's life. His value is incomparable to Su Yu."

"..."

Great Qin King was left momentarily speechless. But that was understandable. Thus, he switched to a different condition, "Stop targetting Liu Wenyan. After destroying Ye Batian's characters, his potential has dropped considerably. Even if some of Ye Batian's characters are still around, at least ten of them have been destroyed so far. The remaining characters are not even enough to activate the character technique anymore."

After thinking about it, Dao King said, "My line will stop targetting Liu Wenyan."

Great Qin King smiled, "Glad to hear that. Have a pleasant journey, Dao King."

Dao King said nothing and vanished into thin air.

Meanwhile, Great Qin King could only shake his head. He couldn't do more than this. Su Yu was too crazy. He had killed too many people. In fact, he had killed enough people to reach the very top of the Heaven Index. And he was also too young. Unlike Liu Wenyan, he had boundless potential in him. It was very unlikely that the myriad races would agree to stop targetting him.

In fact, the myriad races would probably be willing to give up on killing Xia Longwu just to kill Su Yu.

"Sigh."

If he had known this, he would have kicked the damn brat back into the Human Realm after the brat reached the third rank of the Heaven Index. It would be too hard to do that now. Even the people of Great Ming had withdrawn. Su Yu was not among them. The brat had probably guessed what would happen and decided to flee alone instead.

Great Qin King couldn't help but admire Su Yu's ability to view the big picture. Returning to the Human Realm now would only give the myriad races an excuse to make demands of the human race. Thus, they needed to wait until the matter settled before thinking of returning.

Suddenly, Great Qin King flickered and appeared in front of a certain individual.

Looking at the sorry state of his once prideful grandson, he sighed and said, "Useless garbage. What an embarrassment. Get lost."

Boom!

Qin Fang wasn't able to utter even one word before he was sent flying thousands of kilometers away. In fact, he was sent straight into the portal to the Human Realm. He was only able to leave behind a miserable howl before vanishing into the portal.

Great Qin King sighed. How lamentable. Yes, Qin Fang looked fine. But how embarrassing was it that nobody had bothered to kill that kid even when he was right in front of them? Great Qin King would rather see his grandson becoming a target of the myriad races like Su Yu. That would bring a lot of pride to him.

Why? Because only fear would cause the myriad races to act that way. Fear toward a talent so incredible it defied the natural order.

But instead, his grandson commanded zero fear from the myriad races. In the past, he always felt that his grandson was quite decent. After all, his grandson had killed a decent number of Mountainseas. Qin Fang of Qin Family. Qin Fang of the humans. How proud. Even the other Invincibles were full of praise for Great Qin King's grandson.

But now...sigh. His grandson was so unthreatening that the myriad races couldn't even be bothered to kill him. And his grandson had even lost his first rank on the Earth Index. How embarrassing.

Great Qin King lamented bleakly. Each generation was getting worse than the previous. Well, to be frank, his grandson was not that weak at all. But...forget it. There was no point in comparing his grandson against that kid.

Was that kid so amazing? That kid had only accomplished those kills by destroying Ye Batian's characters. Yeah, what was so amazing about that? His grandson had never relied on crushing characters in fights.

Great Qin King continued comforting himself. Yes, his grandson was not that useless, after all. At the very least, his grandson was better than Dao King's grandson. As for the recent update in the index copy stating that Dao Cheng had killed a seventh-stage Sunmoon, that was total nonsense. Great Qin King was certain that the Sunmoon in question was Ming He.

At the very least, his grandson had never been forced to kill his own teacher.

"Peace...is no longer possible for humanity."

A realization hit Great Qin King. The myriad races would not stop before killing Su Yu. Where was that kid right now?
